You only do this through iTunes with a USB connection. Not sure why anyone would want to do this. bluetooth is terribly slow, a tiny fraction of the speed of USB 2

    Hi there.
    I connected to my livebox after about three attempts. You have to pair the livebox by pressing either the number one or two that is on the box. When it is in pair mode it stays that way for ten minutes so it gives you chance to try your wep code that is on the bottom of the box a few times. I can't remember which one was successful but i did try the letters in uppercase and lower and one of them seemed to connect.
    Welcome to discussions by the way.
    Hope this helps JB

  • IPhone to Macbook Bluetooth connects then after 2 seconds disconnects.

    Well the subject line pretty much explains it all...
    My macbook is able to detect my iPhone but the iPhone just keeps searching indefinitely, if I configure a new device I get the "passkey" screen on the iPhone, I click connect and it does for 2 seconds then disconnects. It adds my Macbook to the list of bluetooth devices but it never "sees" it...
    I can see it on my System Preferences Bluetooth window, that the light goes from red-disconnected to green-connected when I tap on my Macbook in the list but after about 1 second the light goes red again...
    Any ideas?
    ps: my iPhone and Macbook are about close enough.

    Guys,
    Take a look in the Iphone console messages when I'm trying to connect my Iphone with my Mac Book Pro by Bluetooth.
    I got the console messages using the Iphone configuration Utility 2.0 available in the Apple site.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

  • Connecting iphone and macbook

    Is there a way to connect my iphone and macbook pro so I can use my iphone as a modem instead of buying an aircard?

    Not currently, there may be the option for "tethering" come 3.0 update but no options so far wait for the 3.0 update and then check with your carrier to make sure that they allow tethering as i understand it's a bit of a sore point in the US don't know if it's the same in Canada but i think "rogers" (is that right) allows tethering for capable handsets. Still a bit of a moot point till 3.0 becomes available to consumers

  • Connecting iPhone to Macbook by Bluetooth

    Hi,
    How do I connect my iPhone 5 to my Macbook Pro by Bluetooth? I can pair the 2 devices but cannot connect them. I would like to do transfer of files from my iPhone to my computer. Kindly assist. Thanks.

  • Can´t connect iphone to macbook air  using bluetooth

    The bluetooth is on in both devices, they get connected for a few seconds, but then they go "not connected", i´m trying to use airdrop, but nothing i do seems to work.

    The iPhone is not designed to pair via Bluetooth with a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. AirDrop requires that Bluetooth be turned on for both devices but they do not pair. More information:

  • Bluetooth connection iPhone 4-Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I'm not being able to connect my iPhone 4 to my Mac... the computer finds the phone just fine and goes through the pairing process. But when the phone 'finds' the pairing request and asks if I want to pair and I click 'Pair', it tells me that my Mac is unsupported??!!
    I don't understand this. My old Sony Ericsson phone paired with my Mac just fine.
    Help please!
    Thanks, p

    These are the only supported Bluetooth profiles:

    As you can see, file transfer, by Bluetooth, is not supported.

  • Basic question - trouble connecting iphone to macbook pro

    Hi team,
    I have a fairly basic one for you all. I have recently purchased a macbook pro, previously had an ibook G4.
    I am connecting my iphone to the new computer and want to sync it to this machine. It is advising that once synced, all info from the old laptop will be cleared and new info added. All music, photos etc are already on the new comp so thats ok but my concern is losing my contacts..
    Can anyone tell me if this is the case? I have my iphone synced with outlook contacts and i would assume they will stay on the device but what about original phone contacts including those saved to the sim?
    Help appreciated!

    Apple really should give more options in these menus. I've had some "hold your breath and click" moments when using my iPod Touch as well.

  • Can't connect iPhone to MacBook, requires mobileme.

    Hi,
    so I have a MacBook Pro from mid 2009 and I still have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I want to keep it that way.
    My problem is that it won't accept my iPhone without me being registered at mobileme.
    Now mobileme was replaced by iCloud and is inactive since 2012 something I believe.
    How can I connect my iPhone 4S to my MBP without having to register to mobileme or something.
    Thanks in advance!

    I have had exactly the same frustrating experience trying to connect my iphone GS to my macbook pro. It was exactly as Steve described it in his original post. I want to connect computer and iphone so I can use the iphone's microphone for Dragon Dictate.
    Dragon Dictate has been another frustrating experience and as yet I have not progressed with a solution. I bought Dragon Dictate and installed it on my computer. I also downloaded the free app "Dragon Microphone" thinking I could use the iphone microphone. I was trying to avoid buying a headset and the computer's microphone was not giving me wonderful results, even after considerable voice training on Dragon Dictate.
    The free Dragon Dictation app for iphone works excellently. But it is a pain then getting my script back on to my computer (cutting, pasting, emailing, transferring to Word). If I could use the iphone microphone directly with my computer then I would be happy. But at the moment, I am not happy with these aspects of my computer/phone. Otherwise, I love my macbook pro and my iphone.
    Can anyone hepl?

  • Connecting Iphone to Macbook to act as modem

    I have been trying to connect to the internet with my macbook via iphone - using the latter as a modem. Is this possible and is it best to use a cable. I did find some settings once but alas, cannot anymore! Please can anyone help?

    Unless your wireless provider supports tethering, you can't.

  • Connect iphone to macbook through hdmi using lihhtning to hdmi connector

    I Have a iPhone 5s, a macbook pro 2014, and a lightning port to hdmi connector. I was expecting to plug the connector into my iPhone and to hdmi on my MacBook, but nothing happens when I do.  I would like the be able to play videos from my iPhone onto my computer. What am I missing? This should be easier, I am quite disappointed  honestly. what am I doing wrong?

    Hi AmbiguousSk8r,
    The HDMI port on a MacBook Pro does not support video in, only video out. See this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Connecting iphone to macbook

    I am having a problem connecting my IPod to a Macbook Pro. I am running iTunes 10.5 and have upgraded my iPod to iOS5. When I connect the iPod it can be found by the Macbook but it will not let me edit my apps. When I click on the APP tab at the top of the itunes screen I can see all the apps but they have been greyed out and will not allow me to make any changes.
    How can I fix this situation?

    Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and make sure that Installing Apps has not been disabled.
    Is your iTunes library authorized with the account used to make your App purchases?
    Is this the computer you normally sync the iPod with?
