Can't pair iPhone 3G 3.0 with Unibody Macbook

I've updated my iPhone 3G to 3.0, but I can't pair it with any of my macs.
I've tried:
15" unibody Macbook Pro (last. gen, no SD slot)
13" unibody Macbook
24" iMac (latest gen.)
It pairs fine with my XP laptop.
When I pair it, it seems to work ok, I get the popup on the phone screen, "confirm you see XXXXX on the computer "Name"", I tap pair, and then nothing happens and on OSX, it says there was an error pairing.
What's up?

I had a similar problem with my iPhone and Macbook.
What I did that did work was this:
1) Make sure bluetooth is turned ON on your iPhone, but tethering off
2) System Preferences
3) Bluetooth
4) + Sign to add device (Launches Bluetooth Setup Assistant)
5) Click Continue
6) Select Mobile Phone, Click Continue
7) Click Continue to let it gather information
8) It will show a passcode, and this should also appear on the iPhone
9) Click allow/accept or whatever is says on the iPhone when promoted with the code
10) It will appear like its waiting for something else, just click continue on the Bluetooth assistant and it should continue the rest of the process.
11) It should then create that Bluetoon Pan network connection
What was failing for me before was after clicking allow/accept on the iPhone I was waiting thinking it should automatically detect this on the Bluetooth Setup Assistant on the mac, at which point it would fail.

  • How can I pair iPhone 6  / 8.1 with Audi and Mercedes until 8.1 is fixed?

    How can I pair iPhone 6/8.1 with Audi and Mercedes

    Generally your put the vehicle into discovery mode, turn Bluetooth on for the phone and the two should discover each other. I don't know what you mean about getting 8.1 fixed, as it is working just fine for me in my vehicle. Try going into the phone and removing the car(s) from the phone list. Turn off Bluetooth. Go into Settings>General>Reset Network Settings. Do a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple Logo and release. The phone will reboot. Go into the vehicle(s) and remove all reference to the phone from the vehicle list. Turn the car off, then back on. Put the vehicle's system into discovery/pairing mode. Turn Bluetooth on for the iPhone. The two should pair after following any additional instructions from the vehicle's user guide, such as entering a PIN code.

    Not only is the phone NOT pairing with my iMac, I can't seem to get handoff to work. When trying to pair in the system preferences, it shows that the phone is connected for a split-second, then I get the "Network Unavailable" message also.

  • Can you use iPhone ear buds microphone with your MacBook Air?

    If you use your ear buds to listen to your Facetime conversations, are also using the microphone on them to talk?

    Yes you can. Any headset compatible with the iPhone works just fine for full duplex conversation on a MacBook Air of current design. The microphone and earphones are simultaneously active.

    Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

  • Can't pair Auvio 1500465 Bluetooth MusicTransmitter with Apple TV

    Hi. I can't pair the Auvio Music Transmitter with Apple TV. I've gone to settings, Bluetooth on Apple TV, placed the Auvio in close proximity, but the AppleTV keeps searching without success. The Auvio pairs easily with my iPhone and iPad, and I've turned those connections off while trying to pair it with the TV.Any suggestions?

    I wanted to use an older, unused Apple Bluetooth Extended keyboard (this one originally came with an iMac G5, white keys, clear casing) but it refused to pair. Several times, the Apple TV said "pairing" and spun the gear wheel for several seconds and then the keyboard just dropped out of the list on the TV screen. No pairing code was ever given. I then tried it with a newer aluminum short keyboard and it immediately game me a 4-digit pairing code and completed the pairing.
    As a test, I successfully paired and un-paired the older keyboard with my Mac Mini. No problems, seemed to work fine. Then tried it again with the Apple TV. No joy.

  • How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

    How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing? 
    I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production.  It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini.  Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air. 
    My two problems: 
    1.  I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing.  What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
    2.  The less lag the better for screen sharing.  Which apps are fastest?
    Thanks in advance.

    Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:

  • I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.

    I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.

    Then put a SIM in. You cannot activate an iPhone without a compatible Sim.
    If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken the update restore the lock.
