  • 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.
    What are you trying to do?

  • Can't pair my Macbook Pro Retina to my iPhone 5S for Handoff

    Bluetooth is on, I'm running Yosemite, iOS8.1, followed directions to pair my phone to my Macbook. Handoff is enabled on both my Macbook's system prefs and also on my iPhone 5s. When I click "Pair" my phone displays a message with a code, so I accept the code on my phone, then the Bluetooth window says they are "connected", but a few seconds later it says "disconnected" and it fails.
    I can't get this Handoff thing to work. I've restarted both my Macbook and iPhone 5s but what else am I missing?
    Here's what happens:
    And then...
    And my iPhone alerts me to pair with the code. I tap to pair on my iPhone and then...
    It says it's CONNECTED... but.... in two seconds this happens:
    "NOT CONNECTED"!
    I'm running iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5S and Yosemite 10.10. Bluetooth is enabled on both devices. I've rebooted my Macbook twice and my iPhone twice and tried this process all over again but same results. Pairing fails. Again, I have Handoff enabled on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro Retina.
    Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

  • Can i return my macbook pro after 5 months

    can i return my macbook pro after 5 months

    If you bought it direct from Apple, you have 14 days to return it for a full refund or toward the purchase of a different model.
    After that time, if it is broken it can be repaired. If it does not suit your needs and cannot be upgraded to suit your needs, you recourse is to convert it to CASH by selling it, and apply the cash toward a computer that better suits your needs.

  • Can´t connect my macbook pro to apple tv

    I can´t get my MacBook pro to connect apple tv.How to do?

    Hey Jonas!
    Depending on how you want to connect your computer to your Apple TV, I have a couple of articles for you that can help answer your question. First, if you have OS X Mountain Lion on your MacBook Pro, this article about AirPlay Mirroring will help you understand some of the options available to you with that feature, and at the bottom of the page is a link to instructions for setting up AirPlay Mirroring:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
    You can also have your iTunes Library connect to your Apple TV through a feature called Home Sharing, more information on which can be found here:
    Understanding Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819
    Hope that helps you understand some of the options available to you for connecting your MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

    If that configuration supports Target Display mode, use it. If not, use a product such as ScreenRecycler.

  • Can I use my macbook pro mid 2012 as an external display using thunderbolt port

    Hi,
    I want to use my macbook pro (mid 2012) screen as an external display for a raspberry pi using a HDMI to Thunderbolt cable, via the thunderbolt port on the macbook pro. Would this be possible? Can the macbook pro's thunder bolt port act as an input and is any additional software required?
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You are referring to Target Display mode. Target Display mode can only be used in 27-inch iMacs and iMacs with Thunderbolt, not MacBooks Pro > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
    Unfortunately, you can't use the MacBook Pro as a display. It doesn't support the monitor mode

  • HT3053 Can I run my MacBook Pro Late 2008 without battery forever? Is it bad in long term or anything? Does it make the system less stable?

    Can I run my MacBook Pro Late 2008 without battery forever? Is it bad in long term or anything? Does it make the system less stable?
    My battery got swollen (and I unfortunately noticed it very late and might have be running with it for months, which potentially explains all the crashes everyday and the trackpad not working anymore, the Apple test also says I have a bar of ram broken...) and I had to remove it because the back pannel did not close anymore... Can I still use my MBP normally forever that way? I was planning on buying a new mac anyway but maybe waiting for the next iMac upgrade in the year... Should I wait?

    Other than the system shutting down instantly if you have a power outage, whcih could corrupt the OS. Nothing else bad will happen.

  • How can i watch my macbook pro on my apple tv

    Can i mirror my macbook pro on my apple tv?

    It depends on which model MBP you have and what generation Apple TV you have.

  • How can i change my macbook pro keyboard buttom english to arabic

    How can i change my macbook pro keyboard buttom english to arabic

    Apple does make and sell MacBook Pros with Arabic keyboards but, as far as I know, they're only sold in the Arabic market. You may be able to special order one: I don't know. You may even be able to order the keyboard only online or at your local Apple Store and have your English keyboard replaced. Again, I don't know.
    The best thing to do, if you're in the US, is to call Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. Tell them what you need and see how they might go about fulfilling your needs.
    Good luck,

  • I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc.  Any help...  From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

    I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc.  Any help...  From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone.  The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality

  • I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad is looking for an airprint printer.  Can I direct the iPad to the usb connected printer.  Both macbook and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport exp.

    I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad and iphone are looking for an airprint printer.  Can I direct the iPad/iphone to the usb connected printer.  Macbook iphone and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport express.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

  • Can I wake my Macbook Pro from Sleep with the Remote app on the iPhone?

    I can't access my Macbook Pro remotely, specially after several hours of inactivity,, whenever I try to access content of my library through the remote app or the Apple TV I'm unable to wake my Macbook Pro up.
    My Macbook Pro is 2012 model (the last with de CD Drive) and it's running the Maverick OS, my questions are:
    * I'm unable to find the "Unable Power Nap while plugged" option on the energy saver tab... is that because the model of my laptop doesn't support that?
    * In order to access content from my library remotely, should the "Computer Sleep" option on the energy saver be on "Never" instead of the "1 hour" that I'm currently using... or is there a way to still be able to wake up the laptop with those settings

    Do you have a Bonjour Sleep Proxy server on your network?
    <About Wake on Demand and Bonjour Sleep Proxy>
    If you do not have a Bonjour Sleep Proxy server on your local network, then you cannot allow your Mac to go to sleep at all.  System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Computer Sleep -> Never (slide all the way to the right).

  • Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5?

    Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks

    Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.
