Bluetooth - MacBook Pro and Motorola w376g

I AM DIRECTLY RE-POSTING THIS FROM ANOTHER USER...i saw no answers there but i am having the EXACT SAME PROBLEM and REALLY want some help!
To everyone who are familiar with Motorola, I am having problems trying to connect with my cell phone via Bluetooth when I am attempting to sync files. When I set up the connection with my Macbook, the setup was successful when paired with each other. (Macbook and Motorola w376g) But when I use my phone and the Macbook, I couldn't connect with my cell phone with the Macbook because according with the Macbook, my phone "does not have the necessary services." Any ideas?
(Also, this isn't really to do with mac, but does anyone know how i can get realtones on my motorola w376g other than using the few that are at tracfone.com? I don't care if they are free or not, i just don't want to be stuck with poly tones on a phone that can play realtones)

Have you turned on *Bluetooth Sharing* in the Sharing system preferences pane?
If you have, what Services does your phone report as having in the Bluetooth system preferences pane? For file transfers it needs *OBEX File Transfer* and *OBEX Object Push*

What can one do with Bluetooth between MacBook Pro and iPhone?

Hello,
I tried enabling Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro and iPhone, thinking I could file transfer some photographs. It seems not to work; after trying to "browse the device" it effectively 'times out' (as if it's a neverending 'loading' wait icon). I saw some other threads here, "I can't sync/connect my iPhone and iMac!" with various replies, like "you sync [Calendar agenda] via MobileMe, not via Bluetooth."
What does one do with Bluetooth? Can't I send files wirelessly from my phone to my laptop? If not, why not? If so, why is the connection wait interminable? I have enabled File Sharing and Bluetooth Sharing on my laptop, but see no direct means to do so in my phone's settings -- must this be done through iTunes? Do I need to configure something further before I can send files?
I have iPhone 3G Version 4.2.10 (last I checked -- still waiting to install an update) and Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.8).
Thanks for your time!

"I tried enabling Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro and iPhone, thinking I could file transfer some photographs."
This is not a feature of iphone. Never has been.
Other than tethering for internet, where provided by the carrier, you cannot connect to a computer/device/phone and do anything.
Bluetooth is for handsfree telephone devices/headsets, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some peer to peer apps from the app store and tethering where provided by the carrier.

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.

Do you mean Bluetooth?
If you are trying to activate your iPhone you need to use iTunes.
There's no need to "pair" an iPhone with a Mac. Syncing, restoring, backing up, apps/ music / photos etc., is all done with iTunes.

I purchased a new MacBook Pro and when transferring files iphoto did not transfer. I have a question mark in the place of the icon. My pictures are in library but can't properly access iphoto. Thank you

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Bluetooth MacBook Pro - iPhone4 issue!

Hi and tnxs for reading.
I have a MacBook Pro and a iPhone4. I'd like to connect both devices via Bluetooth to share the MacBook Lan Internet connection but there is no way of doing it.
I have no problem with the iPad2, iPad3, iPhone3GS, but with the iPhone4, after the bluetooth setup is established, I get the error "Cannot connect to MacBook Pro, device not supported"...
Any help please?

Hello Everyone,
I just want to add some more information. This used to work a few months ago (before this last iOS release). I have used my iPhone 4 as a hot spot, and connected to my macbook pro via bluetooth and it worked just fine. Now it does not work. I personally believe it is a glitch in the iOS release that only affected the iPhone4. There are numerous other issues that this has caused (one example is the bluetooth connectivity on the micoach product). However, since the iPhone 4 is the bottom of the totem pole, I would not expect a fix. From reading around the internet (all of which is true by the way), things are just fine on the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 with the new iOS and bluetooth.

MacBook Pro and Thunderbolt compatibility

Can I plug a thunderbolt display to a MacBook Pro and leave it closed? I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Yes, if your computer has a Thunderbolt port.

My Macbook pro and iPhone 4 will not pair.

I have gone through the setup assistant procedure numerous times, but always get the message "the pairing attempt was unsuccessful' on the Macbook Pro, and "pairing took too long" on the iPhone.
Any ideas?

The wireless sync is by way of WiFi as opposed to BlueTooth. Tethering is the process of using your iPhones data plan to provide Internet access to another device, such as iPad or other computer. Tethering can be by way of WiFi, wired, or BlueTooth.

Macbook pro and iphone ignoring each other

I'm trying to establish a connection via bluetooth between my macbook pro and my iphone 3G. Well the computer has the phone in it's list, but not the other way around. My phone says it's discoverable, but.... My computer is trying to make a connection but keep getting an error message after discovering one devices, presumably my iphone. Help.

At the moment, there is nothing you can do with bluetooth between your Mac and your iPhone. File transfer is not possible. Later this summer when activated by AT&T, you'll be able to use your iPhone as a modem to tether your Mac to the internet. Right now, US iPhones cannot access the tethering settings.

Officejet Pro 8600 - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air will not print

Products:
HP Officejet Pro 8600
Macbook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5)
Macbook Air (OS X, Version 10.8.2)
Question:
Why did my Macs initially print fine, but now will not print at all?
Full Story:
I have a wireless network at my house that consisted of a 30mb cable internet, Netgear 900n, HP Officejet Pro 8600, 2 Dell Laptops with Windows 7, a Lenovo Laptop with Windows 7, and Dell Tower with Windows 7 - All printed just fine.
The HP Officejet 8600 was added to my network about 2 months ago.
I added a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago. Both Macs printed just fine for about a week. Then suddenly they stopped. I spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP Service, and they finally said it must be my router. So I called Netgear. Netgear was useless! They wanted me to agree to charges for services before they would even discuss the issue.
Due to information provided by HP's service support, and because Netgear will not support their product, I promptly purchased a new router - an Apple Airport Extreme.
The Macs recognize the printer, will print if hardwired via a USB cable, but will not print wirelessly to the Officejet Pro 8600. The PCs print fine.
The frustration that is being felt is compound by the fact that the Macs printed just fine with the Officejet Pro 8600 2 weeks ago, and now the printer just shows "idle"... even with a new router. (see image below)
Please help, I appreciate any support.
As a side note, the HP Service rep was very friendly, and definitely tried to support the HP Product, which is much more than I can say about Netgear.
Thank you,
This question was solved.

Hi,
More likely the issue related with Multicast, which Apple devices relies on to communicate with teh device through the network.
First try unplugging the router for 30 seconds.
Plug it back to the power and wait for 2-3 minutes.
Turn the HP printer Off and back On, then check for any difference.
If the same persists, try changing your router configuration as following
Note: the settings below are not related with the HP product, I provide you the steps as a best effor and those are only based on my own knowledge. you may try modifying the router settings at your own risk:
Open the router configuration page (can be found listed as the Default Gateway by clicking the Wireless icon on the printer, then print a network configuration report.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the Setup option from the menu, then click on WAN Setup.
Make sure to uncheck the box next to Disable IGMP Proxying and Apply the changes.
Click the LAN Setup on the same Setup menu.
Set the RIP Version as RIP-2 and Apply the changes.
Reboot your router and then check for any change.
I hope you may find that information useful, you may also use the user guide below for further information:
