Can't find my Macbook Pro on my iPhone 5s via Bluetooth

Hello. When I try to find my Macbook Pro on my iPhone 5s via bluetooth, it just keeps saying "searching". What could be the problem?

Other than for Internet tethering, You cannot connect with your Mac using Bluetooth.

  • Where can I find cheaper Macbook Pro's?

    Hey everyone! Just wondering do any of you know where I can buy a cheap Macbook Pro? Any second hand websites or refurbished machines? I am finding it hard to find anything suitable. As I live in Ireland the cheapest Macbook Pro I can buy is €1299 as listed on the Apple Store. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

    I would not purchase a Mac over the Internet that did not come with a warranty.  Here are two sites that sell used Macs with warranties.

    You can purchase AppleCare anywhere as long as the enrollment code is provided in the box and it is for your designated Mac model, and the machine is less than a year from its purchase date.
    Then go to http://www.apple.com/register/ to register your enrollment.
    If you already purchased AppleCare, and the online search can't find it, there is still a chance the enrollment may be recorded at AppleCare's Apple offices somewhere. Don't hesitate to call AppleCare:

    to see if it might just be a glitch in their online search.

  • Can't find my Macbook Pro warranty information

    Hi,
    I am try hundred times to check my Macbook Pro warranty status over the Online Service Assistant page. It always feed back me a message "We're sorry, the number you have provided cannot be found in our records. Please verify the number and try again, or contact us." My Macbook Pro model is "MacBookPro5.1" (Unibody) and should be produce at around Dec. 2008 ( I use coconutIdentityCard to get the info). My MBP is purchase over internet in Taiwan. And I had do check the SN with local Apple online call this machine isn't have any stolen record. So I pay the cash and get my love - MBP back. For me the applecare is a must have service. But when I call the online apple store like to make order to extend my warranty. The guys told me sorry can't find my SN over the system. The lady is very kindly and patient try to help me solve my problem but not get lucky.
    Is any one have same issue like me? I am sure the unibody machine should be still under warranty. I like to pay the fee for applecare to get best service for my MBP. I post here because this is a US model machine (MB471LL/A come with US keyboard). The local service center isn't me. They do they best ( the lady ). Please guide me what can we do to get my MBP can purchase applecare to extend the warranty.
    Thanks!

  • Can iCloud find a Macbook Pro with the Serial number?

    My Macbook pro was stolen about a year ago but I was wondering since iCloud came out if the theft downloads it does it register the serial number and all that information? I still have my box and all its information. Would that be a possible way to locate it?

    What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen

  • Can I connect a macbook pro and an ibook g4 via ethernet with ibook in target disc mode?

    Well, that's the question, really. I just bought a refurb macbook pro as an upgrade for my sister's elderly ibook - which has been a great computer, but which can't run any system newer than Tiger, and which has an extremely crowded hard drive. We began setting up the new computer last night, and got to where we were instructed to use migration assitant to transfer files from the old machine. This is where things fell apart.
    1. Although both machines were on my sister's wireless network, the macbook pro did not see the ibook.
    2. When we tried to connect the machines via firewire, we had a new problem - our particular macbook pro does not have a firewire 400 port. Same problem when we thought of connecting my sister's extermal verbatim drive. The macbook pro recognized the drive when we connected via USB, but, after asking if we wanted to use Verbatim for Time Machine, it didn't seem to see it when we answered "Not now".
    I have ordered an adapter for our firewire cable, but, in the meantime, I have an ethernet cable at home which I used to transfer data from my older iMac G3 to an eMac. Can I use this cable while putting my sister's ibook into target disc mode, or must I wait for the connector? It is VERY frustrating having such a hard time moving information from one Mac to another. I've been a Mac fan (and evangelist) for years because Macs are generally easy and reliable. But now we're stuck.
    I've been reading the boards and understand that target disc mode is the way to go, since we can't use migration assitant to move files between an Intel machine and a PPC. The new macbook pro is running Lion, while the old iBook is running Tiger 10.4.11. Neither of us has any experience with Lion, though we've both used Macs for many years.
    TIA!

    Thanks, Niel! As it turned out, I had a LaCie rugged drive at my place which had both Firewire 400 and Firewire 800 connections and cables. So I hooked it up to the old iBook, pulled my sister's stuff onto it as instructed in the ppc to intel thread, and then hooked it up to the Macbook Pro. Problem solved! - almost. We did have two issues:
    1. My sister has a lot of music - more than 12 gigs were on the iBook's hard drive, but only about 6 made it onto the Macbook Pro. Why is that? I also got a message, when I was trying to move the music folder from the old library onto the new one, that OS X needed this folder and it couldn't be modified. Again, why is that? How, then, do you move files from a PPC to a machine running Lion? Again, a lot of her music files did make it over, but not all of them.
    2. All her photos did seem to come over - in duplicate, maybe even in triplicate. That is so annoying! The same thing happened to me when I was migrating between my old eMac G4 and my iMac G5. Why on earth does iPhoto do this, and how can we make it stop?!
    But we did manage to get a lot of her stuff onto the new machine. When we get the adapter, she'll be able to add the files that are on the Verbatim drive. You've been very helpful!

  • Macbook Pro constantly trying to pair via bluetooth to other macs around me.

    My Macbook Pro running 10.7.2 is constantly trying to pair via bluetooth to other macs around me. I have deleted the bluetooth.plst, reset my pram, repaired permissions, and reset the SMC. Nothing works.

    Hi Karloz07,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend starting with the troubleshooting tips in the second half of this article if you are not able to pair Bluetooth devices with your MacBook Pro:

  • Macbook Pro won't receive files via bluetooth

    Strangely, I can browse devices, and send to them, but never receive from anyone's phone including my own. It seems one way.
    I have deleted all relevant preferences. Phones, etc. are paired, and the Macbook is discoverable, but a phone always says "send error", and the bluetooth activity sign appears on the Mac menubar, and then reverts to normal immediately.
    Any thoughts as to the best troubleshooting pathway for this over what I have done already?
    Many thanks.

    Here is the solution... Despite my faith in online support, apple's one really works!

  • Find my macbook pro using iCloud

    Today i loss my macbook pro 2009 model. It has Mountain Lion and iCloud enabled. also I know my My Macbook Pro serial number. But I protect it with password but guest user also enabled. My precious data is in My user's folder. Now my questions are.
    How can I find my Macbook pro using iCloud, If someone know kindly tell me in details.
    Is there possibility that user can connect to Internet because now it has not admin rights because only my name user has admin rights and it is password protected. I think if he'll connect to Internet I can access iCloud.
    How much my data is secured.
    How can I delete my data from iCloud.
    I am bit sad. Kindly help to find my mac. Thanks

    1. If you turned on Find my Mac on your Mac, open http://www.icloud.com, log in with your Apple ID, and select "Find my iPhone" to track your MacBook. You can see where's the Mac, lock and wipe it, but it must be connected to the Internet. If you haven't turned on Find my Mac, you can't track the computer.
    2. If he connects to the Internet using the guest user, you will be able to track, lock and wipe the Mac.
    3. It's so easy to reset your user password, so your data isn't so safe. However, if you wipe your Mac from Find my iPhone, you won't be able to track it anymore.
    4. If you want to delete data from iCloud, just open http://www.icloud.com and start deleting your data

    My brother can't seem to find his macbook pro. I was wondering maybe there was something like "Find My iPhone" that can help find the macbook pro.

  • I want to transfer an audiobook and a movie from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4S, and can't figure out how.  I went to "Help" and it said after connecting the two devices I should "Click Apps," but I can't find anything labeled "Apps" to click.  Help?!!

    If you have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S, that might make it easier to navigate.
    Connect the phone to your Mac and select it on that left-hand sidebar, and on the right-hand side of the screen there should be a series of tabs which you can use to select what to sync to the phone. If it's an audiobook then it should appear on the Books tab for selecting/syncing, and films will be on the Movies tab. When you've got the audiobook on your phone you should get an Audiobooks option in the Music app (you might need to tap the '...' tab at the bottom of the Music app to see it).
