Bluetooth on iphone says macbook pro is not supported

I had the same problem with my Iphone 4 but thought 5 would be different. I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and I have an Iphone 5. I try to get bluetooth to connect the two and the window pops up on my Iphone 5 (as it did with the 4) saying "Connection Unsuccessful. Don's MacBook Pro is not supported." Any ideas?

iPhones have very limited support for bluetooth connection with a computer. Other than tethering (sharing the iPhones internet connection or hotspot) there are no supported uses -- and that is only possible if your cellular plan supports it.

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.

What versions of Macbook Pro do not support all trackpad gestures?

What versions of Macbook Pro don't support gestures for left and right scrolling on the desktop in MIssion Control.
I have several MBPs and to be honest, I can't remember what hardware supports these Lion features.
Help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim P.

Additional info: there are a small subset of 4,1 MBPs that have the multitouch trackpad. I have one, purchased in late March 2008, just after Apple announced the feature was added to the MBP. I can scroll left/right in MC.

Find my Mac says MacBook Pro does not have WiFi?

Hello everybody, having a bit of an annoying problem at the moment so I hope you can all help. I'm trying to set up find my mac via iCloud but can't seem to get it working. I've enabled Find My Mac under my iCoud settings on my mac but even after enabling it i get an error that says: "This Mac can't be located because it does not have Wi-Fi. You can still lock or wipe this Mac." Anybody have any idea how to fix this? My MacBook Pro obviously does have Wi-Fi and is connected to a Wi-Fi Network so I don't see how this error even rmeotely makes sense.

Bluetooth keyboard connected to MacBook Pro but not typing

Just bought the new MacBook Pro and love it. I've got my bluetooth wireless trackpad connected and working fine. Unfortunately, my bluetooth wireless keyboard is connecting, but not typing. How can I troubleshoot this?

Okay, I've had the wireless keyboard disconnected from the old computer. Now my current computer says the keyboard is 'connected' under the bluetooth drop down menu, however will not type and when I got into System Preferences>Keyboard and choose Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard it says No Keyboard Found, even though the little green light on the keyboard is flashing. Any idea how to troubleshoot this and get the keyboard working?

My new iPhone 4s paired with my iMac but it will not connect to transfer files by bluetooth. It says the iMac is not supported!

My iPhone 4s will pair sucessfully with my iMac, but it will not connect so that I can transfer files via bluetooth. It says "bluetooth network not available" or "iMac not supported". Just insane. What to do now??

I can't pair my iphone 4s with my imac. It is very frustrating. I can walk by anything resembling a bluetooth and my iphone with pair...but not with my mac. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Contacts sync with iPhone, iPad & MacBook Pro but not calendar won't

OK, so on my iPhone and iPad I have software V 6.1.3, my MacBook Pro 10.8.3. I can get contacts to sync with all 3 but the calendar nothing wants to sync.

OK, I made a change to calendar on MacBook Pro and it syncd with iPad & the iPhone. I deleted it on the iPad and it syncd with the MacBook but not the phone. So apparently the problem is between the iPhone & the iPad.

What is the exact error message that you get when you connect the phone to your MacBook Pro?

Bluetooth connection iPhone 4-Macbook Pro

Hi,
I'm not being able to connect my iPhone 4 to my Mac... the computer finds the phone just fine and goes through the pairing process. But when the phone 'finds' the pairing request and asks if I want to pair and I click 'Pair', it tells me that my Mac is unsupported??!!
I don't understand this. My old Sony Ericsson phone paired with my Mac just fine.
Help please!
Thanks, p

These are the only supported Bluetooth profiles:

As you can see, file transfer, by Bluetooth, is not supported.

Macbook pro is not supported

Apple replaced my Iphone 4S recently, however now I cannot connect to my mackbookpro as previously. I get a message" macbook pro is notsupported" can you help

That's not a feature of the iPhone. You can't use bluetooth to connect with a computer except for tethering the phones internet connection.

Why do 15.4" Macbook Pro's not support resolutions greater than 1440 x 900?

Hi.
I am a Microsoft .net software developer and am seriously considering getting a Macbook Pro to do some iPhone development. My company has provided me with a 15.4" Dell Precision M4400 that features an LED-backlit screen and nVidia Quadro FX 770M discrete graphics card, supporting 1920 x 1200 native resolution. I'd like to know why the 15.4" Macbook Pro's do not support anything greater than 1440 x 900 when it seems entirely possible? I understand that 17" MBP's do support 1920 x 1200 but it is not currently an option I'm considering pursuing due to the increased size and weight.
Thanks.
Jon

Just to be clear, since you're bringing up graphics cards - the 15" MBP supports up to 2560x1600 resolution on an external display, and simultaneously supports full native resolution on the internal display. As Phil points out, the native resolution of the 15" MBP's internal display is 1440x900, and Apple does not offer a higher resolution option for that model (although higher resolution 15" displays do exist). As to why that's the case, only Apple can answer that or change that.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html.
As you know, if you want to use the iPhone SDK, you need an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS 10.5 Leopard.
Ps. Welcome back, Phil!!

Macbook pro does not support Final Cut Pro preview on external monitor?

I have been editing on Final Cut Pro from my imac for approx 1 year with an external monitor attached with no problems. I recently bought a macbook pro, for Final Cut Pro editing, and discovered that the monitor does not work. The Final Cut Pro preview on the external monitor freezes and in the preview pane of FCP it flick between two images.
I have been reading around some forums, and have seen a couple of people with the same problem.
Anyone have a suggestion on how to run the external monitor with FCP?
Thanks!

You have probably already done it but ensure you have updated the OS and Quicktime prior to attempting to instal Final Cut Studio.
I recently had a hard drive crash and after installing the new hard drive it would not read the OS installation disc. I ended up using an external drive case and installed the OS on the drive from a different Mac Book, then reinstalled the hard drive in the other Mac Book. Then it booted right up. I updated all the original software before attempting to install any additional software.
Everyone kept saying it wouldn't install due a possibly defective optical drive and I can't say why but it wasn't the drive. As soon as I had the system up and running again the optical drive functioned flawlessly.
I hope this helps you.

My MacBook Pro does not support Mountain Lion. How can I download Lion?

I was waiting to update my MacBook Pro until after Mountain Lion came out. It turns out my Mac is not supported. Is there a way to buy Lion? I can't seem to find it on the App store.

call 1-800-697-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 and ask for sales. After you pay the $29 they will send you a link with instructions on how to download it.
