Bluetooth on iphone not connecting to mac

hi. i turn on my bluetooth on my iphone and the mac at school, but it never really finds my iphone, but it finds my friends regular phone that is a voyager.
is there anything wrong with my iphone's bluetooth?

There is at least 1 app that uses bluetooth to transfer files between the iPhone and the Mac. It is Reunion, which is a genealogy program.
I am having the same difficulty in getting my 3GS to connect to my MacBookPro. I have updated software on the Mac, turned the phone, bluetooth off and back on, also have the the home buttton/lock switch cycle to no avail. The Mac sees the iPhone but the iPhone doesn't see the Mac. Worked fine with my original iPhone.

    iphone not connecting to wi-fi but my ipad does.same wi-fi but the iphone doesnt want to connect now for some reason

    Can your iPad connect to other Wi-Fi networks? If so, is it possible that you may have configured your AirPort to restrict access to the iPad by including the iPad's MAC address in the AirPort's Timed Access Control settings?

  • Targus bluetooth mouse will not connect in bootcamp

    I have a Targus blueetooth mouse that will not connect in bootcamp. It has worked fine for a long time in XP and 7. Then I upgraded the haddrive and had to do a lean install of Windows 7 and the Apple bootcamp 5. Now it will not connect at all. I have the "Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth" seleted , it sees the mouse but it tries to connect and just stalls. This is very frustrating since without the mouse it is nearly impossible to troubleshoot Windows.

    Bluetooth mouse will not connect my wireless mouse...
    what works +every time+ for me :
    use your fingers to move the cursor up to the bluetooth icon (top right of display)
    click bluetooth icon, select user mouse / connect
    then quickly move the cursor up (with fingers) so it touches or is very close to the bluetooth icon
    and start clicking with your mouse (making sure the mouse is on obviously).
    I have NO idea why but this works on my MacBookPro everytime. If I try to connect without moving the cursor near the BT icon it won't connect (or takes at least 10 trys).

    Hi,
    Scott Agnew,
    Please check if there are any updates pending for Suitcase fusion and Illustrator.
    You can also try resetting AI preferences.
    User Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator [#] Settings
    Rename Adobe Illustrator [#] Settings to old Adobe Illustrator [#] Settings
    User Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator/Version[#]
    Rename Version[#] to old Version[#]
    Access user library Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 and later
    Do you get any crash report. Look if it says anything for Wacom or extensis?
    Thanks,

    The SMC reset often fixes your problem.
    Be sure you follow the instructions for your particular Mac model.
    If your problem continues, restart Mac.  Then download and install OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
    If that does not correct the problem, reinstall Mac OS X.
    If nothing else works, contact your Apple Service provider or Apple MacBook Support for help.
