Handoff not working between iPhone 5s and macbook pro

I was using Yosemite Beta and iOS 8. The handoff was working perfectly fine. Now after the Yosemite upgrade it has stopped working. The bluetooth does not pair the devices. In the Network preferences the iPhone shows not connected although it is syncing automatically when i connect the devices. In iTunes the sync over WIFI is also checked.
Please help
Thanks

AirDrop used to work between my iMac and MacBook Pro. Now, when I try to transfer a file (either direction) I get a message that my certificate is invalid or that the file has not been accepted. What do I do?

How do I sync my icloud calendar between iPhone 5 and macbook pro without a 1 hour difference? I've made sure that the time zones are the same on all devices and it's still doing it.

I cannot get my iphone 5 and macbook pro to display the same time on my calendar. There is a one hour difference between them and it is driving me crazy!! Please help!!!

Did you also confirm that the time zone was set correctly on icloud.com (click on your name, check Time Zone)?

I use Iphone 5 and macbook pro ret with 10.8.2. but I cant pair it via Bluetooth with any other item (Mercedes Comand). Not even with the Mac. very unhelpfull with a new phone and new apple macbook. what can help

iPhones have NEVER paired with laptops except for the sole purpose of tethering. Have you read your Mercedes operating manual and made sure the Command is in pairing mode?

Handoff won't work between iPad Air and Macbook Pro

I'm trying to get handoff to work between my iPad Air and Macbook Pro (Late 2013). I have tried turning all devices on and off again, turning the handoff on and off again and turning iPhone Cellular Calls on and off again on both devices.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

This fixed your connectivity problem. However, I don't think this has actually fixed any problem.
I think this Handoff feature is buggy. I have three devices -- a MBP, an iPad Mini, and an iPhone 5 -- and I have done "the dance" you've described and only one of my devices, the iPhone, is now Handoff capable. The iPad Mini still doesn't support Handoff.
I think there is a problem in the software and that all of this signing in, signing out, powering on, powering off, is just getting the devices to clean themselves up so that stuff can start from a fresh slate and attempt to work together again...sort of. It's not necessarily guaranteed.

Syncing Notes between Iphone 3GS and Macbook Pro

I've read all the forums I can about this, but can't seem to find the answer.
I want to sync my notes between my Iphone 3GS and my Macbook Pro. Right now when I add a note in my Iphone it automatically is added in my mail account in the Macbook.
However, if I add a note in the Macbook, it does not get added to my Iphone.
I'd like it to go both ways. Is this possible?
Thanks!

This forum is really for the MacBook Pro hardware, not for iPhone issues. I think the best place to ask this question is here:

The issue is with configuring your iPhone. I personally gave up trying to make it work.

Handoff not working between ios 8 and Yosemite 10.10

I have An iMac late 2012 Processor 2.7, memory *GB 1600 MHz just had it all backed up on an external drive .Installed new Yosemite 10.10 I have an iPhone 5S
my problem is the handoff between them is not working.

First, verify that the Mac is capable of using Handoff. Hold down the option key and select System Information... from the Apple menu. In the System Information window, select Bluetooth from the list on the left. Near the top of the summary of "Hardware, Features, and Settings," you should see this line:
Handoff Supported: Yes
Follow the instructions in this support article. All the devices using Handoff must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If the Mac also has an Ethernet connection, disconnect the Ethernet cable.
If Handoff still doesn't work, on the mobile device, turn Handoff off and back on as directed in the linked article. On the Mac, turn Bluetooth off and back on. You might have to restart a mobile device to get it working.

IMessage not working between iPhone 4 and iPhone 5?

Hi,
Three friends of mine have recently upgraded to the iPhone 5. I'm still on iPhone 4.
Since the switch over, iMessage has stopped working between my phone, the iPhone 4 and their's, the iPhone 5.
iMessage still works to my other friends on their iPhone 4's....
Can someone explain/help fix this please? We all live & work in bad reception areas in the countryside so having iMessage work to send messages over wifi is super important!
Thanks so much,
Jen

Notes not syncing between iOS devices and MacBook Pro

Notes created on my MacBook Pro and iPad Air are not showing up on my iPhone6 and notes created on my iPhone6 are not showing up on the MacBook and iPad unless I restart my iPhone. The iPad and MacBook are syncing fine just not the iPhone.... all three devices are signed into the same iCloud account and Notes are set to sync on all three devices.

I tried that a few times but it didn't do anything...
It seems to be working now... after I restarted and the notes showed up it still wouldn't show any new ones but they all of the sudden showed up and it's syncing now... So I guess the problem is fixed but I have no idea how!

Syncing messages between iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro

I don't seem to be able to sync messages between my iPhone 6 and my Macbook Pro (using 10.10.1). Trying to follow the online discussion, but left scratching my head. Help, help.

Hi Hawgjohn,
The new continuity features with iOS 8 are awesome, but they do take some setup to work properly. Luckily Apple has a big guide on how to set up all of the continuity features (including text messaging from your Mac) here: Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support.
Browse through that article and find the section that is relevant to your issue and follow the instructions

IMessage not syncing across iphone, ipad and macbook pro

I was recieving messages to my ipad at my mobile number. But they were not being recieved on my phone or my macbook. I then signed out and back into imessage on my phone as I saw that the number did not have a tick next to it. That has got me recieving numbers again on my phone but now I am not recieving messages to my ipad on macbook. I logged out on my macbook and the imessage crashed - when I relaunched and logged back in the names against the messages had all disappeared as it had reset the message threads to "bonjour", even though this was disabled in settings. Is there a way to set them all back to my apple account? I am also still not recieving incoming messages to my phone number on the computer. Or messages in my iPad. Please can someone help?
Thanks

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Messages if it’s running.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following item from the Library folder (it may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Messages
Leave the Library folder open. Try Messages again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit Messages again. Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
Messages
Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
Test. If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place, and continue.
Step 3
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with "com.apple.iChat". Move them all to the Desktop.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of steps 2 and 3, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

Synching calendars between iPhone 3GS and MacBook Pro iCal

Since this morning, without having made any change to any setting whatsoever, entries made in the iPhone calendar seem to be duplicated in the iCal as many times as the two sync with each other. I've got the same entries duplicated 4 or 5 times. How do I fix this?

I've this problem now. Have you solved this? How?
