Bluetooth Phone and MacBook connection

How do I connect my new Macbook to my bluetook Blackberry so I can use the connection for emails?

You can probably find the CID string on Ross Barkman's site (http://home2.btconnect.com/Taniwha/) where there are 'modem scripts' for most current and older mobile phones. Download and install the correct script for your phone as per his instructions and you should be able to select the correct CID string in the setup to get started. You may have to try one or two different variants to find which works best, but all the scripts for each phone model or range are usually bundled together so it's just a matter of trying different ones from the drop-down list until one works.
Assuming you get it to work (I have done with a variety of Nokia phones over the years), it would be a nice gesture to donate something to Ross for his time and effort via PayPal. There's a button on the homepage.
Re charges if you already have a data facility it shouldn't cost any more to use it via the laptop than it does from the phone, they usually charge by the megabyte. I'm not sure that the phone company can tell whether you have a laptop linked to the phone anyway. The only danger is that if you're browsing full Web sites on the laptop you may be transferring a lot more data than on phone-optimised (WAP) sites and so spend more than you expect

  • Bluetooth phone and text messaging

    Is there a way to text message on my MacBook and then send it to my phone? Sure would make things a lot easier

    if you mean can you text via your mobile phone with your macbook then yep you can, as long as your phone supports bluetooth.
    sync your mobile phone and mac with isync, to get all your contacts from your mobile phone, and then open address book. it should display all your contacts form your phone. click on the little bluetooth icon in the toolbar in address book and it should try to pair your mobile phone and macbook.
    once you've done that, you can ctrl-click on the phone number of a contact and select SMS message, and it will let you send a message to that contact.
    if you leave address book open and paired with your mobile phone it will also display recieved messages and calls on the macbook, and let you reply to recieved messages.
    Address book is also a really cool way to organise your mobile phone contacts, to add addresses and other numbers - its loads easier than doing it on your mobile.
    isync also syncs calender information from ical - which is handy if you continue to forget to pay credit card bills like myself...

  • How come my iMac and MacBook connect to my AirPort Extreme but my iPhone and iPad 2 won't?

    How come my iMac and MacBook connect to my AirPort Extreme but my iPhone and iPad 2 don't?

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. I am asking if the DNS IP addresses, not the IP addresses assigned by the DHCP service, are the same. DNS is like the Internet's version of the Yellow Pages. Your ISP typically will provide them to you or you can elect to use those provided by another source, like OpenDNS.
    DNS is the service that translates a website's URL to its actual IP address so that you can access it. I am just trying to rule out that the PC is not configured properly with the correct DNS IP information.
    The other thing to check is if the PC is configured to use a Proxy service. By default, it would not be.
    Finally, what is the make & model of the PC. More importantly, if the PC is using either a PCI or USB wireless adapter, what is its make & model?

  • Loss of Phone and Data Connection

    I have lost all phone and data connection with AT&T on my iPhone 3Gs. Yet my wife's non-Apple phone has fine connection.
    Is this a iOS4 problem?
    AT&T said they reboot my phone remotely, but that did not help.
    Any suggestions? Other than buy an Android.

    I'm having the exact same problem. It just started happening over the last 3 days but it worked fine before that. I upgraded to ios4 the day it came out but didn't start experiencing these problems until 3 days ago. I'm in Canada on the Bell network.
    If it turn the off and on again it will work for a little while but then I will lose service again sometimes a few minutes later and sometimes a few hours later.
    I've tried shutting it down and starting it and rebooting it and nothing has fixed this.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Why is my Ipad2 not connecting to my network when phone and laptop connect successfully?

    Why is my Ipad 2 not connecting to my network when phone and laptop connect immediately?

    Could be all sorts of reasons, Can you give us more details about your setup?
    Check to see if the wifi is turned on the the iPad. That would be the first thing I would check.
    Next what is the configuration of your network? Do you have a password setup to prevent others from connecting to your network? Any details you can provide will make it easier to figure out where your probem is.

  • How do i sync iMessage on my phone and macbook air

    imessage on my phone and macbook air used to be synced, in that all of the messages either sent or recieved would show up on both my iphone 5s and my macbook, in the last week this hasnt happened though and the messages only show up on one or ther other; if my computer is on they only show up on there but if its off they will come to my phone, how can i get them to sync again to make then come up on both??

    Hi bec1993,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    I believe there may be an issue revolving around the Apple iD or the iMessaging accounts being used on your iPhone and MacBook Air.
    In order for iMessages to sync between iOS devices they need to use the same Apple iD. This basically will link all your iOS devices in n Apple ecosystem where they will all be synced across all your iOS devices.
    The first thing to do is check if the iMessaging accounts are using the same Apple iD:
    To do this first on the Mac go to the application Messages:
              1.          Click messages from the menu bar at the top of the screen
              2.          Click Preferences
              3.          Click Accounts, from here you will see all the places where you are getting messages to your MacBook.
              4.          Look at all the accounts where the iMessaging description is/the accounts that are sending and receiving iMessages on your MacBook Air. They all have iMessage in the description below the address
    Now go to your iPhone:
              1.          Go to settings
              2.          Scroll down to Messages
              3.          Make sure that iMessage is turned on
              4.          Then go to Send and Receive and click this
              5.          Make sure that the Apple iD at the top of the screen matches address that was found in Step 4 of the first part and make sure they match up and are identical.
    If they aren't - you can change the wrong one and this with fix your problem and have the messages resyncing again.
    If they are the same and still not syncing, simply log out of the accounts on both sign out in the preferences on Messages OS X and log out in Messages iOS and then reenter your details in both correctly.
    I hope this helps and please keep be posted as to if you succeed.
    Many Thanks

  • I have an iPad mini iphone 5 and have just bought an Apple TV can I get the Apple TV to connect to the Bluetooth on my sofa have been trying with no success my phone and iPad connect fine please help.

    Can't get my Apple TV to connect to the Bluetooth on my sofa but it connects fine with iPhone iPad mini etc

    Bluetooth in the AppleTV is for connecting to Bluetooth keyboards, and also for Airplay device discovery only.
    Unless your sofa supports Airplay (unlikely) or has a bluetooth keyboard, your AppleTV won't be able to connect to it.

  • IOS 8 and Bluetooth Phone and Audio Streaming Failing

    I have a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder and a 2015 Nissan Leaf, both with bluetooth phone integration and audio streaming support.  Both cars worked fine when I had two iPhone 5s paired to both cars and running latest iOS 7.  Both phones worked in both cars and could fully integrate to make calls and also to stream audio from device to car.
    When I upgraded one iPhone 5s to iOS 8 and replaced the other with an iPhone 6Plus running iOS 8, both are having problems with both cars.
    1.  Both gave a "failed connection" message but the phones do actually pair.
    2.  Both cars show a phone handset with a line through it on the in-car display which means no connection.
    3.  The "5 bars" cell signal indicator on the in-car display no longer shows up.
    3.  Outgoing calls made from phone and put through car system work fine except for some garbled audio.
    4.  Incoming calls make the wrong screen appear on the nissan display and can not be answered by the display on the car.  Pushing the answer button on the in-car display doesn't do anything.
    Lots of other tiny issues.  Apple needs a fix here.  I called Nissan and they said it's 100% Apple's fault.
    Anyone else having issues with Nissan Bluetooth integration or any other manufacturer?

    We have a 2008 Nissan Sentra - The bluetooth pairs ok.  When a call comes in on my 5S or my wife's 4S the bluetooth does not do anything.  The bluetooth does not ring and it does not connect to the call.  The call has to be answered on the phone.  Like I said, the phones are paired.  You can access Siri through the bluetooth to initiate a call.  Once the call is connecting, the bluetooth drops off and there is no sound.  Just like when you receive a call.  Apple needs to fix this.  This is completely ridiculous.  I WAS going to buy an iPhone 6.  I will not if this is not fixed.

  • Bluetooth keyboard and mouse connectivity problems

    I have an Apple bluetooth keyboard and Mighty Mouse connected to my Macbook Pro 13", running ML 10.8.1.
    The keyboard and mouse will constantly disconnect and re-connect on their own every few minutes. I'll see the "connection lost" notification, and then shortly after the "connected" notification. Also, even when the keyboard is connected, it often becomes unresponsive and/or strange things happen, such as the special characters menu appearing above the cursor (which I believe there is a keyboard shortcut to invoke, but I'm not doing that; it appears on its own).
    This never happened in Lion.
    Any idea what's happening and how to fix it?

  • Windows 8.1 and Apple Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard connection

    I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.0 Home and as a result I'm experiencing the following problems:
    Apple Bluetooth Mouse - randomly dis/connects or freezes where I cannot move the mouse or it's very jerky or very slow.
    Apple Bluetooth Keyboard - the keys will stick or freeze causing the redundent key presses (eg. yyyyyyyyeeeeeee).
    I've done the following to fix the problem with no success:
    Reinstall Boot Camp 5.0.5033 drivers
    Reinstalled Bluetooth drivers from Boot Camp 5.0.533 individually
    Unistalled both devices on OS X and reinstall them only on Windows 8.1
    Reinstalling both on OS X and reinstalling them on Windows 8.1
    Uninstalling all the drivers from the Device Manager and reinstalling them
    One thing I have noticed is that under Devices and Printers I have two new devices (HID-compliant mouse and HID Keyboard Device) that were not there under Windows 8.0 in addition to my bluetooth devices.  I have tried removing the new devices but they keep reinstalling themselves.
    I have USB mouse that's connected and I've been able to use that without problems so I think there's a problem with the Apple driver or the Windows 8.1 bluetooth drivers.
    Has anyone fixed this?
    Thanks!

    Just to point out the "Bluetooth Collaboration" setting I've found this:
    Bluetooth Collaboration enables general purpose input/output transmit suppression protocol between the IEEE 802.11 media access control (MAC) and an external Bluetooth chip to minimize transmit interference. Bluetooth Collaboration is enabled by default.
    And it is not enabled by default on some devices like on mine!

  • Power Mac G4 and MacBook Connection to Airport Express

    My problem is how to connect different Computers (Power Mac G4, Power Book G4 and Mac Book) to just one printer, which has no ethernet connectivity. So I thought it could be possible with airport express. And it is with PowerBook and MacBook, but what about the PowerMac G4? Is an Airport card compatible with Airport Express?
    Does anyone out there know details?
    iMac 2,16 GHz, 2GB, 500GB; PowerBook G4 12''; PowerMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi
    The airport card in the G4PM is compatible with the airport express. I.e. if you set up a USB printer on the express all the computers you list will all be able to work with it. Of course the data rate will be slower with the older card for the PM, (11 Mbps) but I can't see this being a problem.
    Have a look at as this user has compiled a helpful list of compatible printers or more importantly incompatable ones.

  • Problems keeping bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected

    When I upgraded to IOS Lion, I started having problems with my BlueTooth Mouse and Keyboard losing the connections multiple times a day - over a year ago I guess.  I use an Intel iMac and run a home office for an online business.  So I am on the computer all day!  I tried every fix I could find within the Apple Support Community.  I finally reloaded a fresh copy of Lion from a thumb drive as a last resort.  Whiped the whole system.
    I am now having the same problem and it takes about 3-5 minutes to get the keyboard to connect every morning now when I wake it from sleep.  I have a Macally BTKEY BlueTooth keyboard, so I can have the 10-key.  I have the magic mouse that came with the iMac.
    Does anyone have a better solution or should I just take it to the Genius bar at this point.  The problem is I use it to run my on-line business and it is problematic to be without.  Thank you in advance!

    Have you tried making your Bluetooth devices favourites? Doesn't always fix things, but it did for me when I was having regular drop outs with the Magic Mouse.

  • My sister was receiving my messages on her iPad because we were hooked up to the same Apple ID. I made a new id and registered to my phone and MacBook only. Is she still getting my message AND can she still access my old ones?

    When trying to fix the problem I signed out of the old iCloud account on my phone and computer, created a new account and then registered my phone and computer to this new account. I also made sure to check that send/receive was only for my phone number and Apple ID email. I want to make sure that she can no longer access my old and new messages. Thank you!

    She won't after the change.
    Note you can use the same Apple ID in
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > here to share purchased music, apps and books.
    Other than that each of you should use your own Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game Center, etc.
