Try resetting your NVRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

  • Connecting an iPhone to MacBook Pro via TRRS cable?

    Here is my idea.  I know this doesnt exist yet but let know know what you think.
    I have designed a TRRS cable (image attached) that my TRRS headphones can plug into, which is then plugged into the audio jack of my iphone and macbook pro.
    My idea here is that I wish to listen to music (via headphones) while on my macbook, however, I constantly get calls.  I dont want to remove my headphones or constantly need to unplug and replug in my headphone jack, so I figured the y-connector will solve this problem.
    Does anyone see a problem with how this might make my phone and MBP interact?
    Thanks

    Actually I am looking for a similar thing but 2 female TRRS and 1 male TRRS and saw your post while searching. I want to connect both my headphones and speaker system to my mac and still able to use volume control/mic etc on my earphones. The second female doesn't have to be TRRS but it will be easier to produce one with two TRRS females.
    About your idea, it's also nice. I didn't think about it before and I am just switching the earphones to my mac and iPhone. It would be nice to have such a thing. However I guess you will have some issues.
    I don't think your MBP and iPhone would interact during the calls since mic only take inputs. So when you are on call, MBP will ignore it unless you have activated the mic on MBP. But if you are using the mic on MBP, for instance, you are on a video conference on your mac and meanwhile got a phone call on iPhone then both devices will get your voice. This might not be a problem since you just want to listen to music on your mac.
    But the problem is, my guess, when you use volume control on your earphones both iPhone and mac will change the volume. You will probably have a big problem when using play/pause/skip function since the signal from the earphone will pass to both iPhone and MBP and both devices will play/pause/skip and their combinations.
    My suggestion is to add a switch on the mic channel. Then you can chose to use the mic/volume/play functions only on either iPhone or MBP. That would solve the problem.

  • Can't connect my iphone with macbook air

    Updated both my iphone 5s and my MacBook Air with latest software and was so excited to start using handoff, but it´s just not working.
    Maybe there´s someone who can help me and guide through all this.

    The following may help (although many are still having issues): Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite
    One thing that has been a source of confusion is people are attempting to pair the phone and Mac via Bluetooth. You cannot do that. Bluetooth needs to be on for both devices and they need to be in range but you cannot pair them. Here is an excellent article about that: Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with my computer?

  • I'm installing a printer on a MacBook Air via USB connected DVD drive.  The computer asks for my password.  I don't hink we ever had one.  Is there a default password ("admin"

    I'm installing a printer on a MacBook Air using an external DVD drive via USB.  The computer is asking for my password to authorize changes to the system.  I don't htink I ever put one on the computer and "admin" and "password" don't work.  Is there a default password?  Or a way to change a password that has been forgotten, wothout resetting the computer and wiping everything out?  Thanks. 

    Many thanks.  As it happens, I wen to the local Apple Store today for an appointment with a "genius".  She helped me reset the password. And as I look at the screens on the page that you connected me to, they're the same as the genius used.  So your suggesstion was right on the money, and now I'm all set.  Thanks again.

  • Having trouble with connecting my iphone and macbook air using bluetooth for internet tethering

    Hi,
    I am facing an issue connecting my iPhone5 to my Macbook Air using bluetooth primarily for internet tethering - personal hotspot.
    Every time I try to pair my iPhone with the Macbook Air, I get the error on the iPhone that 'the device that I am trying to connect is not supported'.
    Can anyone provide assistance to me on resolving this issue.
    Thankyou,
    Ashwani

    You can't resolve it using bluetooth because it is not a feature you can use here are the supported files for bluetooth http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647
    YOu will have to contact your carrier and enable personal hotspot as suggested by questionaire.

  • Constant Crashing of MacBook Pro when connected to Iphone 3GS 4.3 via USB

    The USB Personal Hotspot works great with 3GS and MacbookPro EXCEPT for the constant crashes where you have to reboot. This ONLY Happens while connected via USB to 3GS with Personal Hotspot.
    It never happens via regular wifi connections.
    Is there a bug in 4.3?

    You people do not know how relieved I am that this isn't only happening to me. The thought of returning my 4-day-old 2011 macbook pro is just plain torture.

  • My iPhone 4 won't connect with my new Macbook Air?

    Got a Macbook Air yesterday, and I've always connected my iPhone with a Windows computer. I tried to connect the iPhone to the laptop (via USB) and it kept connecting and unconnecting. It would continuously vibrate and the battery would show charging/not charging over and over again.
    I could connect my iPhone with my cable onto my PC, so I don't think it's the cable. I also was able to use a USB drive on the laptop, so I don't think it's the USB port either. Do you have any suggestions? All ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

    Sound like something is making an intermittent connection. Even though you have used the cable successfully in the past, it might have some new damage or old damage that only causes a problem in certain positions. The cable is also the easiest and cheapest to replace; maybe you could even borrow one long enough to test.
    If you bought the MBA new from a brick and mortar Apple Store, take it back for diagnosis.

  • HT1296 My itunes on my pc is not recognizing my iphone being plugged in via USB, what do I do?

    I am trying to connect my iphone to my pc via USB to get my pic's on my pc.  I have done this before with no problem. I simply plugged in my iphone and a pop-up came up in the bottom right corner of my computer screen saying device recoginzed (or something like that). I clicked on it and hand no issues. Now when I plug in my iphone all it does is show on the phone like it's being charged but no pop up on my computer. I even went into itunes and it doesn't recognize it there either. Usually I go to my library and in the right top corner there is a "Device" button to click on but it's not there anymore. What should I do?

    Disconnect the iPhone.
    On your Mac open Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Then select: Repair Disk Permissions
    This process can take a few minutes.
    When it's done, restart your Mac and connect the iPhone.

  • I can't connect my iphone5 to my Macbook Air via Bluetooth?

    Can someone please tell me why I can't connect my iphone5 to my Macbook Air via Bluetooth?
    Is this just the most ridiculous oversight or is there some underlying reason why this doesn't connect and function properly? How amazing would it be if I could just click on a contact number and dial from my phone like I could in 2008 via my Lenovo and my Blackberry. This blows my mind that two devices that scream compatibility are far from it. From my bluetooth options it see my device, then sends a code, I confirm and then it briefly connects only to disconnect almost immediately. #fail #appleoversight #failfailfail
    Fix it or I'm going back to PC ****

    Are you referring to mirroring or you just unable to set up homesharing.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

    Your MacBook is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8, which is the minimum required to install the current version of iTunes and sync devices running iOS 7. It doesn't need to be compatible with Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks.
