My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

Ah, sure it actually won't. I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support. They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug. It's a feature!!"
Personally, I think this is insane. While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection. There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network. The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place. At least mine won't.

My A'Extreme sometimes won't connect to my MacBook Pro even if I have a green light on the device . I can unplug the ethernet cable and reconnect and it will work fine. all diagnostics say there is nothing wrong. Any ideas ?

This is more about your modem then anything. Sometimes you'll need to unplug and plug back in your modem. Consider it a glitch from the ISP or just the modem in general.
when I need to turn something off then on I try the modem first. This when I'm not doing any ware and tare to the device.

My usb cord won't connect to my macbook air

Whenever I plug my phone into the USB cord and then into the Macbook Air, it won't connect! The phone vibrates and I can't sync music or photos!
We replaced the Macbook and this is still happening, then we replaced the USB cord with one that we bought at our local Apple store. '
Any advice?

As I said that indicates the cable that you used between the iPod and computer is bad

Magic Trackpad won't connect to new MacBook Air

I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on a new 13-in MacBook Air. My Magic Trackpad shows up under the Bluetooth menu bar but won't connect when I click on connect. When I go to Bluetooth preferences, it doesn't appear in the list of devices and when I go to Trackpad preferences and try to set it up as a bluetooth device it also doesn't show up. I've tried turning the power off/on on the trackpad and making sure that it's discoverable. The indicator light flashes to show that's it discoverable but it just doesn't seem to be picked up by my MacBook Air. I've also tried loading fresh batteries in the trackpad but still nothing. Suggestions?

Was the trackpad connected to something else? If so, it needs to be deleted from there first.

My iPad and iPhone won't connect to my macbook pro

I have just got a new macbook pro and iPad and when I go to connect my iphone and ipad to the macbook it says that they do not have the most up to date itunes. I have updated both and I have checked the software and they both have 10.5.1 but it still won't connect.... can anyone help!!

all devices have the correct, up to date software. When I connect my iPhone or iPad into MBP, it says… The iPhone “Ellen Heathwood’s iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.5 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.

My iPhone 3GS won't connect to my MacBook Pro via USB.

When I try to connect my iPhone 3GS to my MacBook Pro, there's no sign from either end that they're connected (the device won't show up in iTunes, and it also won't charge).
I've tried the same computer, with the same cable, and a different iPhone, which works fine. I've tried a different computer as well, and the phone won't connect with that one either. When I use the same cable to charge the phone, plugging it in, it charges fine, but it doesn't whenever I plug the USB into a computer. I've tried to go through all settings that may apply, but nothing seems strange, unless I'm overlooking something? The iPhone has fairly recently been fixed (the button didn't work), and I don't think I've tried syncing it since - could it have something to do with that?
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions.

Try restoring via iTunes. I really think it's time for an upgrade. You should really consider an iPhone 4 AT LEAST since they aren't so expensive used. If you check on Craigslist, you can find one for $100. The Retina Display part is so much better than standard resolution on the 3GS and below's screen.

ITunes won't connect to store Macbook 2, 1

I have a late 2007 Macbook 2,1 that won't connect to the iTunes store or the App Store through wifi. It will work fine if it is connect with the ethernet cable. I've tried this on many different wifi networks and it has the same problem. I'm running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and iTune 11.0.2. It actually has never worked on previous versions of iTunes as well. Anyone know how to fix this?

Ok, I figured it out. It was a problem with my proxy settings. Go to System Preferences> Network> Click on Advanced. Then click on the proxies tab. Then make sure only Automatic Proxy Configuration is checked.
That's how I was able to fix the problem.

Zerr222

Hi Zerr222,
Try unplugging the router from the power for 30 seconds, plug it back in and allow it 2 minuts to fully start.
Next turn the printer off and back on and check for any difference.
If the issue remain, may you changed a wireless router lately? what is your exact router brand and model?

BB OS 5.0.0.900.
BB Desktop Software v.2.1.3

When I plug in my micro USB to my laptop, the BB icon appears on the desktop but in my BB Desktop Software, it shows that it's not connected. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks for your help!

Hi alecshimizu,
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Have you already tried using different USB ports on the Mac or a different USB cable? If so, try connecting again after rebooting the Mac and reinserting the battery in the BlackBerry. If this does not resolve the connection issue, try uninstalling the Desktop Software then reinstalling the latest version from www.blackberry.com/mac and testing again. http://bbry.lv/raPKiM
Hope this helps,

My AppleTV won't connect to iTunes library after RDP session

I use a computer to hosts a few different services. First, the computer acts as my media server. iTunes has all of my media loaded up and my AppleTVs connect to it to stream media. I also use this machine to host remote desktop sessions when I am away from home. It appears that after an RDP session, I am unable to connect to the iTunes library using my AppleTVs. I need to restart iTunes to get connectivity back.
Has anyone had any prior experience with this or have any suggestions for a fix?

Lisa,
I have pretty much the same problem. My Mac (7 days old) was working with the Apple TV just fine but tonight it will not do AirPlay nor will Apple TV play home share with the Mac either. Rebooting has no effect. Same error you are getting. When I try to play music (AirPlay) it is weak and intermittent at best and often simply does not play at all.
My ASUS laptop still works just fine as normal so Apple TV seems to be working just fine. Now I am wondering why I spent so much money on the Mac.

HT3624 I am in a campground and my wireless internet won't connect on my MacBook Pro. Help

I am in a campground and I can't get the wireless internet to work it worked before now it doesn't. I think
I did something and messed it up. I was in the network area of system profiler and it was on
air port and I hit the - at the bottom and it went away when I put it back it hasn't worked
since. Help!

I was in a hotel a few month a ago. The hotel also had a portal page you have to sign in. Of course the ATV didn't a web browser and could not sign in to the portal and connect to the Internet, so your iTunes didn't work. (But your ATV should be connected to the router at that point already, just the portal won't open the port to pass through your ATV's traffic)
So what I did was to use AirVideo app on my iPad and AirVideo server on my Mac. Selected the movie on my iPad using the AirVideo app and then selected my AirPlay device on my iPad to AppleTV. Because this setup didn't require iTunes, so there was no need for a live Internet connection, and just a connection to the hotel router was enough. It was very easy.
(Of course, you can subsititude the iPad with an iPhone here too)

FaceTime won't connect to another MacBook Pro?

My husband and I have our three iPhones and my MacBook Pro connected under the same iCloud account. He recently bought his own MacBook Pro so we could FaceTime computer to computer rather than him using a phone while he is overseas. He can call from his phone to my computer and to my phone, but any calls going to or from his computer fails (some will come up on either end and some won't). He tried creating a completely new iCloud account as well since maybe it was trying to call itself, but that didn't change anything. We tried completely separating our numbers on the different devices so mine all had the same numbers/emails associated and his had only his so they didn't overlap, but that didn't seem to work either. Anyone have this problem and find a solution?

Bluetooth speakers won't connect with new Macbook Pro

I just sold my Macbook Pro (mid 2012 release) and purchased the brand new lighter, faster Macbook Pro Retina display that was just released a couple of weeks ago (Mid 2014).
There are a host of things this new Pro can't/won't do (which I didn't know upon purchasing it), but my question right now is: why won't my bluetooth speakers (which worked great with my other Macbook Pro) properly connect/work with my new one? The bluetooth recognizes the speakers--it says they're there in the bluetooth set up--but they don't work, nor do they show up in my sound options (In my system preferences, only the internal speakers are listed as available output devices). Why would they be visible but not able to be connected?
Is there a fix? Can I get my bluetooth speakers to work? Or are these more things (along with my Apple Remote) that I have to scrap?
Thanks!

Me three. Does not work at all, extremely frustrating for an educator who relies heavily on this technology

My iPhone 4s won't connect to my MacBook, but will show up in my iTunes when connected. How can I fix this?

When I first got my iPhone 4s and was setting it up, it added all the photos that were on my MacBook. I want to take these photos off, but the only way to do that is to go through the iPhone on my laptop. But, when I connect my iPhone via USB my phone shows up in iTunes, but not on my computer. Not as a desktop icon or as an external drive. Please help me figure this out!! I really need to put these photos back on my computer and get them off my phone. Thank you to anyone that can help!!

Rome,
I would try everything that "Diesel" has suggested !!!
I had the same problem after updating to iOS 5.1. I was never able to fix it. I did however find a work around and that was to delete the offending Wi-Fi configuration and then under "Other" manually add back my Wi-Fi connection. This solved the auto re-connect problem. I don't think this is a fix but a pretty darn good work-around.
I talked to Apple about this problem while arranging for a replacement phone (for another problem) and the Technician seemed to be aware of this quirk and suggested that my fix was about the best I could expect.
HOWEVER - when I received my replacement phone not only did the problem that I exchanged the phone for now function correctly but the "Auto-reconnect" of the Wi-Fi worked as expected and as it did prior to the iOS 5.1 update.
Go-Figure !!!
