Can't pair iphone ios 8.1 with mac

Am running Yosemite on my Mac and cannot get handoff to work. Tried to pair iphone with the mac and haven't been able to do it. Keep getting not connected on bluetooth.Am supposed to be able to get phone calls on Mac and make them using Contacts. No to both.

Exact same problem on my end. 
MBA 2012 Yosemite with an iPhone 5s 8.1
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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    That is because they do not generally pair. What is it that you are trying to do by connecting them via Bluetooth? If you are referring to AirDrop or continuity, then all you need to do is have Bluetooth turned on, they do not pair.

  • Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open

    Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open. Brand new are there any upates I am unaware of?

    "sync" fails to open?  Do you mean, iTunes?
    If you manually open iTunes, does your iPhone show up in the left column?
    If so...
    Click on your iPhone in the left column of iTunes.
    Click on the "Summary" tab in the right colum of iTunes.
    Scroll down to "Options"
    Select "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected"
    Apply
    My apologies if I misunderstood the question.

  • TS1702 Cannot get iPhone 4 to talk with Mac Lion using Numpad. Have updated, restarted etc. Have Screen Sharing on. It sees my computer but when I press keys on the NumPad there is no response. I have tried it on the Calculator and on Sibelius. Any clues?

    Cannot get iPhone 4 to talk with Mac Lion using Numpad. Have updated, restarted etc. Have Screen Sharing on. It sees my computer but when I press keys on the NumPad there is no response. I have tried it on the Calculator and on Sibelius. Any clues??

    Here's how to do it.
    1. App Store, iTunes Store should have the same AppleID on Computer and iPhones. (Free to share apps, music and books... )
    2. Person A uses the same purchasing account for everything (ie. email, contacts and ...).
    3. Person B have the same purchase account see no. 1 (for App Store and iTunes Store) but create a second AppleID for iCal, e-mail, contacts  and etc.
