Bluetooth iphone 4 macbook pro isync addressbook Google contacts

Hi all,
Hope you're enjoying your devices, when your not troubleshooting them here
This doesn't appear to be a difficult request but its proving beyond me and I'm seeking help.
I would like to sync my Macbook Pro's addressbook with my iPhone 4 - the help file in Addressbook suggests its possible and my iPhone 4 and my Macbook Pro pair but don't connect. I sync doesn't like it and keeps overwriting all my data in Google contacts, that I ulitmately want to update with the information I have stored in the Addressbook, once I've ensured all the data on my phone is transfered successfullly also.
Any suggestions?

You can't sync contacts with an iPhone via Bluetooth, nor is iSync compatible with iPhones.
Use iTunes to sync contacts by following the instructions in the iPhone User Guide.
Or if you upgrade to OS X 10.7.x Lion, you can use iCloud.

Bluetooth headset for MacBook pro and iPhone

Is there a recommended Bluetooth headset I can pair with my iPhone and MacBook pro and do things like:
iPhone:
Take call
Listening to music and podcasts
MacBook Pro:
Listening to music and podcast
Skype calls
Google Voice calls
Face time
YouTube
Etc...
At the same time it would need at least 8 hours of talk and or play time battery.
Has somebody built such thing? If not we should do a kickstarter...
Thank you for your recommendations

Try to look at: http://www.jabra.com/
The ones compatible with the iPhone work with Skype too on a Mac, I don't know about other services.
Bye

HT204144 File transfer using Airdrop from iphone to Macbook Pro

File transfer using airdrop form Macbook Pro to iphone is working...but from iphone to Macbook Pro is not working, Why?

Hi Brok25;
Thanks for the question. The resource below explains the specs and settings that are needed for AirDrop. Check the settings and look to see if your MacBook Pro is listed.
Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203106
Sending files to and from an older Mac
If a Mac you're using with AirDrop was manufactured before 2012, you can send and receive files with other Mac computers.
On the sending Mac, click "Don't see who you're looking for" in the AirDrop window.
Select the option to "Search for an Older Mac."
On the receiving Mac, open a new Finder window and click AirDrop in the sidebar.
Tips for sending files
Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on your Mac and your iOS device. Although you don't have to connect to a specific network, Wi-Fi needs to be on to send and receive files using AirDrop.
Move your devices closer together. AirDrop is designed to work within a range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters). If you need to send a file to someone farther away, consider using File Sharing, iCloud, or email instead.
If you're using a firewall on your Mac, you won't be able to receive AirDrop files if you have enabled "Block all incoming connections" in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences.
Make sure your devices meet system requirements for AirDrop.
System Requirements
To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
For help identifying your Mac, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu. You can refer to the Apple Support website to find out if your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch includes a lightning connector.
Cheers,
- Judy

Sync iPhone to MacBook Pro

I recently bought an iPhone 5s and have been trying to sync it via bluetooth to my MacBook Pro but it refuses to do so.. My mac is running OS 10.6.8 and I suspect that is why I can't connect with the new iPhone that runs a newer OS. Can you advise?

iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iOS

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)

Looking for a Dictation App for my Iphone and MacBook Pro. Want to send all dictation to Word. I have Dragon. Should I purchase Dragon Premium or Dragon for Mac?

Looking for a Dictation App for my Iphone and MacBook Pro.

I have Dragon. Should I purchase Dragon Premium or Dragon for Mac?

Care to share which OS you are using?
OS has its own dictation program.
Should I purchase Dragon Premium or Dragon for Mac?
Only you can make that determination. Read the system requirements for both and read the reviews.

Time capsule only allows 2 devices at a time as a router. If I am using the iphone and macbook pro, it bumps the roku offline. Any suggestions?

At a guess you have cable internet connection.. please confirm exactly what you have.. two public IPs are allowed by some ISP.. once you use up the two IPs, there are no more..
Make sure the TC is in router mode. And to get it working you probably need to shut off the cable modem.. if it has battery backup remove the battery.. try 5min off .. if not long enough try 20min off. then overnight. The ISP equipment must reset to allow a new MAC address to capture the IP.
If you cannot work it out.. plug in the old router again.. and set the TC to bridge mode.. which I suspect it is in now.. and plug it into the main router.. it should work fine like that.

Connecting an iPhone to MacBook Pro via TRRS cable?

Here is my idea. I know this doesnt exist yet but let know know what you think.
I have designed a TRRS cable (image attached) that my TRRS headphones can plug into, which is then plugged into the audio jack of my iphone and macbook pro.
My idea here is that I wish to listen to music (via headphones) while on my macbook, however, I constantly get calls. I dont want to remove my headphones or constantly need to unplug and replug in my headphone jack, so I figured the y-connector will solve this problem.
Does anyone see a problem with how this might make my phone and MBP interact?
Thanks

Actually I am looking for a similar thing but 2 female TRRS and 1 male TRRS and saw your post while searching. I want to connect both my headphones and speaker system to my mac and still able to use volume control/mic etc on my earphones. The second female doesn't have to be TRRS but it will be easier to produce one with two TRRS females.
About your idea, it's also nice. I didn't think about it before and I am just switching the earphones to my mac and iPhone. It would be nice to have such a thing. However I guess you will have some issues.
I don't think your MBP and iPhone would interact during the calls since mic only take inputs. So when you are on call, MBP will ignore it unless you have activated the mic on MBP. But if you are using the mic on MBP, for instance, you are on a video conference on your mac and meanwhile got a phone call on iPhone then both devices will get your voice. This might not be a problem since you just want to listen to music on your mac.
But the problem is, my guess, when you use volume control on your earphones both iPhone and mac will change the volume. You will probably have a big problem when using play/pause/skip function since the signal from the earphone will pass to both iPhone and MBP and both devices will play/pause/skip and their combinations.
My suggestion is to add a switch on the mic channel. Then you can chose to use the mic/volume/play functions only on either iPhone or MBP. That would solve the problem.

What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?

What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike? I've been having to key in changes to both devices because sync doesn't sync.

If you really are running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and iOS 6.1.3, you should be able to sync through iTunes, but in current releases you need to use a central contact service like iCloud.
Did you have it working and then not working, or have you never had it working?
Are you trying to use iTunes, iCloud, or something else?

Can't synchronise mails of iphone and macbook pro

I receive my mails on my iphone and Macbook pro. If I download the mails on my iphone first and I open them, they will not be downloaded on my macbook pro. If I download them on my iphone but I don’t open them they will downloaded on my ibook pro. What do I have to change on my settings in order to have the syncronized?
Thanks

That's normal behavior for a POP3 email account. If your email provider supports IMAP, set the account up as an IMAP account on both the Mac and the iPhone. IMAP supports synchronization between clients and the server. POP3 does not.

HT3887 I m not able to found Bluetooth in my Macbook Pro. Error is Bluetooth : Not available.

I am not able to found Bluetooth in my Macbook Pro. Found error is Bluetooth not available. Please inform me.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Somehow, OS X doesn't detect Bluetooth in your computer. First, reset the PRAM and the SMC, and see if you can use Bluetooth then.
If not, hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting to start in OS X Recovery, and reinstall OS X. If, after reinstalling OS X, you can't use Bluetooth, there's a hardware issue with your Mac, so take your Mac to an Apple Store or reseller
