Handoff and WiFi Hotspot not supported using iOS 8.1

I have recently downloaded Yosemite, which I understand was supported on my iMac i5 late 2009. Unfortunately a number of features, do not seem to be supported, namely Handoff and WiFi Hotspot. I have diligently followed the instructions, but they are not activated by my iMac. Can someone tell me, whether this is purely, a function of the age of my iMac or something that I may be doing wrong. Are there any other iMac i5 late 2009 users, who have got these features to work? If so, how?

http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
Handoff and Instant Hotspot
Supported by the following Mac models:
MacBook Air (2012 or newer)
MacBook Pro (2012 or newer)
iMac (2012 or newer)
Mac mini (2012 or newer)
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
Handoff requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with a Lightning connector and iOS 8.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • With iTunes 10 and iOS 5 synchronizing my iPhone (3GS) via USA and Wifi does not stop in the last step. Runs for hours. iPad Synchronization is fine. Any ideas to solve it?

    iPad2 sync is fine.

    This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.
    The other users like yourself here are not going to be able to help you with this problem.

    Hae you tried to do a hard reset of your phone? This will not lose any data. Hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the phone turns off ignoring any slide to power off messages. Then power the phone back on.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded the plug in 6.0 and it works on the RAW files from Canon EOS 60D, but not with Canon EOS 70D. I cannot download higher versions of plug in, because I have Windows Vista and it is not supported.

    You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
    You then need to watch this video to get hang of it:

  • Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time.

    How do I eliminate this glitch?  Music spontaneously starts, stops, stutters at random and I'm not even using that app. Repeated attempts to pause the song and close the app have no affect. Just keeps popping on and off randomly no matter what I'm doing at the time. I tried double-clicking the Home button which brings up all of the active apps, touched and held the Music icon until all the icons started wiggling, tapped the Close icon in the upper left corner of the Music app to close the app completely, but the app is still open and still randomly stuttering. I did notice that the play button icon flashes in the upper right corner of the screen when this happens and it appears and disappears in concurrence with the Music app stuttering. When the music starts, the icon appears and when it stops, the icon disappears again. When the music stutters on and off, the icon appears and disappears rapidly and in sync with that random glitch. This just started today for no apparent reason. I turned the iPad off, waited 30 seconds and turned it back on. As soon as it was finished starting up, the same music glitch began again immediately. I'm using iOS 6.1.3.

    Well, no one seems to have any answers or ideas for me, I'll update what I've been able to accomplish.
    I reloaded all 14 disks in the time frame of watching Lord of the Rings on Fri. nite.
    Funny thing is, the first disk pulled the info from the online store! Hooray!
    Wait-then all the next 13 could find no information online...what the heck is up with that? So I MANUALLY assign each disk a new track # to co-inside with each disk, spent about 2 hours doing that.
    But still, itunes tells me my playlist is too large, there's not enough space on the ipod. so I unchecked 1 1/2 disks (I'd listen to 1/2 of disk 1 previously) and voila! there's my ipod full of my book. Finally. But what a lot of bother just to keep things in order!

    iOS devices do not have the BT profiles that support file sharing and othr general functions. See:

  • I have lightroom 4.4 and it does not support Canon EOS 70D what to do?

    I have lightroom 4.4 and it does not support Canon EOS 70D raw files. What do I do?

    Several choices
    Download the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.5 and convert your RAWs to DNG and import those into Lightroom
    Use the software that came with the camera to convert the RAWs into TIF and import those into Lightroom
    Purchase the upgrade to Lightroom 5

  • What is least expensive plan for smartphone and wifi hotspot?

    What is least expensive plan for smartphone and wifi hotspot?  I would probably want 1 -2GB or so of use for the hotspot, to allow access for my laptop when needed.  I don't need a lot of minutes, really my usage is 100 - 200 mins/month,  no or very little text, and some date use from phone, maybe 1 GB?
    Thanks for any ideas!
