Can't sync bluetooth with my macbook pro?

I get to the screen and make the iphone discoverable the macbook sees it then it fails to get the phone to open up to being able to enter the code..
I have tried a bunch of times. what am I doind wrong?

Yeah, unfortunately, Apple designed the iPhone so that it can only sync/pair with a headset. You cannot transfer/sync via Bluetooth. Again, I don't like it either. We can only hope that Apple decides to enable this feature in the future. Please give them feedback.

I only show one iCloud on my IPhone that can do a restore. I synced it with my MacBook Pro and I think that may have messed things up. Prior to that I have several backups. Will a "genius" be able to access the info I need?

If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

Hi Apple Team, my iphone can't share files with my macbook pro. But other devices can share bluetooth files with my mac book pro. Please, kindly open up bluetooth to accept all connections from all devices. Now it becoming difficult for me to share.

Synced iphone with my macbook pro, can find the voice memos, help!!

i synced my iphone with my macbook pro, checked the voice memos option and after syncing was complete (it backed up iphone in the process), i didn't see any new playlist called voice memos on my itunes!! did i lose my voice memos? where did they go? i didn't delete anything from either the phone or the computer.TIA!! on the phone, i don't see the memos too!! anyone has any idea?

iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the iPod application on iPhone using the Music pane in iTunes.
To Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPhone:
1. Connect iPhone to your computer.
2. In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar.
3. Select the Music tab.
4. Select the “Include voice memos” checkbox and click Apply.

What can I do using bluetooth with my macbook pro

I paired my macbook pro with my iPhone 5s but can't do anything else. tell me it doesn't have the necessary services??

The only thing you can do with Bluetooth on a MacBook/iPhone combination is tether (i.e., hotspot / use the phone's cellular connection as a data source for internet on the MacBook)

Unable to Sync iMac with New Macbook Pro

I've had a iMac for a few years and just got a Macbook Pro. I have been trying to sync iCal and Address Book using iSync and bluetooth. On my desktop, I select "Add Device", ender to code on the Macbook Pro and it says that it worked but when I select "Sync Devices" it says that I have no devices connected. I would really appreciate some help! Thank you!

iSync is for syncing between a Mac and a third-party mobile phone - it is not designed to sync between Macs.
For syncing between Macs you can use MobileMe. http://www.apple.com/mobileme

How can I access iCloud with my Macbook Pro with 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo?

I would like to know how to use iCloud on my MacBook Pro as I have other Apple products that are newer than this laptop and I would like to synch with the iCloud between all products. I can synch with the iCloud with my iphone 5 and my iMac.

You must be able to upgrade it to 10.7.2 or later for iCloud:
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

Can't get internet with new Macbook pro

As the title says I can't seem to get internet with my new Macbook Pro. I get wifi fine, use the password on my router and that works, but I still can't get connected to the internet. I know the router works, as I can use another laptop on it. Any ideas on what to do? (other than call Apple which I'm doing when I get out of work.)

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
Do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
which is what I think you did.

Can't sync Notes iCloud on MacBook Pro Mavericks

I am running Mavericks on MacBook Pro new generation.
I can't set Notes sync. Every time I try I get this message:
"Notes can't be enabled at this time. Wait a moment and then try turning on Notes again."
I logout and login many times from iCloud without results.
To get the iCloud mail working I had to configure it manually going to other accout because it couldn't configure automatically.
All other items are syncing and working nice.
On my iPad an iPhone, Notes and all iCloud services are syncing and working perfectly, so I think the problem is Mavericks??
The service status of iCloud is OK on the Internet.
I tried all suggestions I found in community answer about this subject but nothing seems to work for me.
Any ideas? Thank you very much.

HT4906 I have photos on my iPad how do I sync them with my MacBook Pro?

I just bought a MacBook Pro and I am able to sync calenders and contacts et al but my photos on my iPad don't sync with the compurter. What am I doing wrong?

Any photos you take with your iPad will be added to the iPad's Camera Roll.
If you set up Photo Stream on your iPad, the new photos in the Camera Roll will automatically be added to the Photo Stream.
On your Mac you need iPhoto or Aperture to import the photos from the Photo Stream into a Photo Library. This Photo Stream feature requires OS X Lion v10.7.2 (or later) and iPhoto 9.2 (or later) or Aperture 3.2 (or later).
On your new MacBook Pro you probably have MacOS X 10.8.2 and iPhoto 9.4.2, so the Photo Stream should be available. Have you enabled it in the iCloud settings? And are you using the same Apple ID on both your iPad and your Mac?
Regards

Sync issues with new MacBook Pro

Just got a new MacBook Pro and my Iphone 3gs won't sync, Itunes crashes every time I try to sync. Has anyone had a similar problem or know of a solution? Thanks

Welcome to the discussions,
did you already reinstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Service? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
Do you have any podcasts or slideshows on your phone? If yes, try to delete them before your sync. Also copy your pictures to your mac and delete them on the phone.

Why can't I connect my iPhone 4 via bluetooth with my Macbook Pro Version 10.7.5?

How come that the bluetooth connection won't work. On the computer shows it is paired and is working properly while on the iphone shows not connected.

The only thing you can do with bluetooth and your mac is for the mac to share the internet connection using personal hotspot on your phone. Other than that you cannot use bt to transfer files or sync the phone with the mac.

How can I sync calendars across my Macbook Pro, My work PC, and my Android Phone?

I primarily schedule things using iCal on my mac. My phone with Gcal has been loaded with a backup of my iCal, but the two don't sync. Lastly, my PC is not connected to anything to sync. Is there some desktop app for Windows 7 that will allow all of this to play together? I'd really like something that sits on my desktop similar to iCal on Mac. Yet needs to sync to my iCal on my Mac and PC and Android Phone.
Thanks

I appologize, but this should be under iCloud on my Mac not Pc. Not sure that I can change this.
