Can't connect iPhone to MacBook, requires mobileme.

Hi,
so I have a MacBook Pro from mid 2009 and I still have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I want to keep it that way.
My problem is that it won't accept my iPhone without me being registered at mobileme.
Now mobileme was replaced by iCloud and is inactive since 2012 something I believe.
How can I connect my iPhone 4S to my MBP without having to register to mobileme or something.
Thanks in advance!

I have had exactly the same frustrating experience trying to connect my iphone GS to my macbook pro. It was exactly as Steve described it in his original post. I want to connect computer and iphone so I can use the iphone's microphone for Dragon Dictate.
Dragon Dictate has been another frustrating experience and as yet I have not progressed with a solution. I bought Dragon Dictate and installed it on my computer. I also downloaded the free app "Dragon Microphone" thinking I could use the iphone microphone. I was trying to avoid buying a headset and the computer's microphone was not giving me wonderful results, even after considerable voice training on Dragon Dictate.
The free Dragon Dictation app for iphone works excellently. But it is a pain then getting my script back on to my computer (cutting, pasting, emailing, transferring to Word). If I could use the iphone microphone directly with my computer then I would be happy. But at the moment, I am not happy with these aspects of my computer/phone. Otherwise, I love my macbook pro and my iphone.
Can anyone hepl?

  • Can´t connect iphone to macbook air  using bluetooth

    The bluetooth is on in both devices, they get connected for a few seconds, but then they go "not connected", i´m trying to use airdrop, but nothing i do seems to work.

    The iPhone is not designed to pair via Bluetooth with a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. AirDrop requires that Bluetooth be turned on for both devices but they do not pair. More information:

  • I can't connect to my MacBook becaus it won't boot. Then my iPad says I need to delete some stuff to be able to download any.thing. I know I have room but is it possible to delete without connecting?

    I can't connect to my MacBook because I can't get THAT to start. It just sits in it's blue screen With the apple, spinning it's gear. All this happened after I used mackeeper. If anyone can help with that, I'd appreciate it. I've tried starting in safe mode,resetting everything but nothing happens. It's not the kernel, ive delt with that  it looks like it's going to boot but it won't.  Then there's  my iPad which says I need to delete some stuff to be able to download anything. I know I have room on there but there are 2copies of a movie and I'd like to delete one of them.  Is it possible to delete anything on the ipad without connecting to MacBook?  I do have an appt later in the week but if I could fix this myself that would save me a couple hours driving time. Thanks for anyone's help in both of these matters.

    Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
    Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

  • Can i connect iphone with itunes on windows pc?

    can i connect iphone with itunes on windows pc?
    and if i can, am i going to lose everything if the device is the fisrt time is connecting with this pc?

    Yes you can connect it.
    You will only loose everything if you choose to sync. If you don't then no.  But then you won;t be able to do much while connected, as any transfer of data  (music, movies, etc..) will require a sync.

  • How can I connect an old macbook pro...

    How can I connect an old macbook pro with that does NOT have a Thunderbolt connection to a new 27 inch iMac? I only need to do this for one specific purpose, to be able to see the work I'm doing on the laptop in InDesign on the iMac's larger screen (at a larger size as it were, so I can see a double page spread (or even a whole page would be an improvement) in one go)?  I gather it might be possible to get an adaptor but note that Apple don't seem to sell one. I know I could do this with the cinema screen but would rather do it with a new imac as that will have more use to me overall. It's a work laptop which I don't own so I don't own the Indesign to just be able to use that on an iMac. I have tried to connect monitors to the laptop in the past, but with no success at all.  I hope someone can help . Thank you.

    Im pretty sure you are talking about the M8536 which has an ADC Adapter.
    you will have to daisy chain a thunderbolt to DVI adapter with an DVI to ADC Adapter.
    the first adapter:

    The second adapter is old so you may find used ones on ebay like this:

  • Can i connect imac and macbook by usb?

    can i connect imac and macbook pro by using USB clable? i just want pass my files and music from macbook to imac.
    thank you

    You can't connect both computers by USB. The easiest way is to connect them using a FireWire cable (if your iMac and your MacBook Pro have got FireWire ports), and put your MacBook in target disk mode (start your MacBook holding the T key).
    Doing this, the iMac will detect the MacBook's hard disk as an external disk, so you can easily access to your files from Finder and copy the data you want to the iMac's hard disk

  • How can i connect iphone 4 with other mobile through bluetooth

    how can i connect iphone 4 with other mobile through bluetooth

    You can't. iPhone does not have this feature.
    Some iOS apps will allow you to connect to other iOS devices for peer-to-peer games, or sending photos, but not to other makes of phone.

    Congratulations on your new iPhone 5s!  I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes.  Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue.  I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):
