Handoff not working with Macbook air (mid 2012)

So, I just updated to Yosemite and I have enabled all the settings on my Macbook Air (mid 2012), iPhone and iPad. Turned on blutooth, same wifi network, etc... Handoff DOES work from my Mac to the iPhone but will not work from my iPhone to my mac. I've searched high and low and can't figure out why its not working... Any ideas?

*UPDATE* I was able to drop a file to my iPhone via AirDrop FROM my MBP to iPhone. However, I've still been unable to do the reverse (iPhone to MBP).
Same exact situation with same exact MBP (mid 2012 machine). iPhone 5S running iOS 8. I had been trying to go iPhone to MBP for about 30 minutes with no success. Neither Handoff or AirDrop would work. The MBP would recognize the iPhone in AirDrop, but the iPhone would never recognize the MBP as a location to "drop" to.
After reading you post, I tried the reverse (MBP to iPhone). I started an e-mail and got the mail icon on my iPhone lock screen. However, when trying to access the message on the iPhone i received connectivity errors and the "draft" never loaded.
Perhaps the server on the cloud they use for the handoff/airdrop/continuity feature is overloaded due to the rollout. Either way it's entirely more complex to use then it should be.

Optus Huwaie USB not working with Macbook Air

I have a Macbook Air (mid 2011) running Yosemite 10.10.1
Using an Optus USB Modem (E3276 V2 4G) by Huwaie and it I think there is a compatibility issue. … I tried the modem on my Macbook .. no problem at all.
After launching on the Air, the USB dongle glows Blue which represent connection - status on Optus window says ‘connected' but there is in fact no internet connection at all and no kbps activity either way. I have seen a few similar posts on various forums but haven't so far understood what they are on about. Ideas? Thanks

You should be contacting the technical support of the Internet carrier for assistance. It is their responsibility to be compatible with Apple.
Ciao.

AirPlay Mirroring not working on MacBook Pro (Mid 2012, OS X 10.7.4)

I am trying to mirror the display of my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2012, OS X 10.7.4) to my TV using the latest AppleTV. AirPlay works from iTunes to the AppleTV, but I don't have an AirPlay icon in my Display Preferences to project whatever's on the screen to the AppleTV. What could be wrong..? Thanks in advance.

You need to update to Mountain Lion. Purchase it in the Mac App Store.

Why is HP Photosmart C4780 wi-fi not working with MacBook Air?

My HP Photosmart C4780 and my MacBook Air seem incapable of maintaining a wi-fi connection.
My printer will work with a wired connection but the combined scanner no longer works at all.
I have installed and uninstalled the printer on numerous occasions it works as soon as it is reinstalled but this never lasts.
I am out of guarantee with HP and Apple and have paid HP Several times for help but I am wondering if it would be better to buy another printer.
Any help would be gratefully received.

First try Reset Printing System, a menu choice in Printer Setup Utility. You'll have to re-Add the printers (don't "install" drivers or any software though).

IPhone hotspot not working with MacBook air

Hi this is my first post I think and I'm hoping for a fix to my issues.
My iPhone 4S hotspot won't work when connected to my MacBook Air in either USB mode or wireless/Bluetooth.
A few weeks back I had the same issue, took both iPhone and MacBook to my local apple store and the tech deleted a folder from the mac and it fixed the issue.
I don't know which folder he deleted, he said they were network configuration files that would regenerate themselves.
Anyway it has been working fine for a few weeks but tonight it has ceased to connect again. I'm working overseas and don't have access to the apple store so I'm hoping someone here can advise me which files I need to delete Again to get this hotspot working.
Both iPhone and MacBook have the very latest software update both yesterday and it did work fine yesterday after the update.

You couldn't have, there are no supported Bluetooth Profiles between a iMac and an iPhone outside of Internet sharing.
In which case you need to enable the internet Sharing over bluetooth on the Mac before trying to pair.
Other than that there's no way to pair them.

Parallels don't work with MacBook Pro mid 2012

Parallels don't work with new MBP. It operates with 2011 and under portables.
No answer from Parallels: get you something good?

Talk to NOVA Development providing your license no. They will respond. If this would have happened to me I'd check permission errors. If none, I would use the DMG file for paralllels, uninstall and reinstall from scratch.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

Hi everybody, my Macbook air mid 2012 MD 231 suddenly shut down then i can not turn it on. I heard a sound like a fuse is blown or something like that. Did any system break or burnt? I did not charge at that moment. Plz help

my Macbook air mid 2012 suddenly turn off after a strange sound (like the sound òf a fuse has blown or something like that) and I also feel a burnt smell too while i am watching a film on the internet and did not charge the laptop at this moment. The sound was from the left of it, and now just a dark screen , even I tried charging it (still has green light at the charge tool). I bought it on 13st April 2013, not often use.
I love apple and i am so sad that a new product which i seldom use could be break so easily and outstanding. It's so late in my country now but i am too disappoint about the trouble so i am writing with hope of supporting from Apple and the community.
Please help , thank bro

You will have to take it to an Apple Store for repair.

HT5219 I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display. Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ? I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged.

I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display (27'').
Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ?
I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged. Is this normal ?

I just got my ATD and late 2011 MBP up and running. I've not tried running without the power adapter from the ATD plugged in, but I just tried and didn't have any problems with the display not waking. You may want to take your query to the ATD forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/peripherals/thunderbolt_display - perhaps someone there has experienced a similar issue.
Good luck,

Macbook Air Mid 2012 Fan speed not adjusting

Hi,
I've a serious problem with my Macbook Air Mid 2012. The fan speed of the system is fixed to maximum of 2000rpm and is not
adjusting with increasing temperature. An SMC reset has not fixed the problem. At the moment I've to use iStat to increase the fan speed,
but otherwise the Air is crashing at about 78C. Does anybody has a similar problem?
Kind regards

Is the problem your fan is too noisy when it is not under load?
If your fan is running too fast you can try reseting SMC.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
You can also try disabling or uninstalling SMCFanControl and then resetting SMC.
SMCFanControl should not be necessary for the normal operation of your Mac.
P.S. Your English is excellent.

Hi there, I have MacBook Air (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.2. I want to update to latest OSX but it is saying that I need to first install MBA Flash Firmware Update 1.1.

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Apple's Replacement Program for Macbook Air mid-2012

Hi everyone, I just wanted to know more about apple's replacement program for Macbook Air mid-2012. I updated the said firmware and then my mac air stops working. However, according to the program, they are replacing it free of charge. I just went to an authorized service provider here in the Philippines and I just want to know if I will be paying any. I can't find good discussions in Google. Thanks.

You should not, as the replacement program is worldwide. In case the reseller refuses to repair your Mac for free, print this website and take it with you

Installing Windows 7 from USB flash (Macbook Air mid 2012)

Hello,
I read some famous instructions, but they are not for Macbook air mid 2012 as there are some missing options in their Bootcamp Assistant and this on macbook air 2012.
Btw, they suggested some rEFIt program which supports installing windows from usb which is made in 2010 but it has not been updated since then. I tried it but it doesn't work like it is described in instructions.
I have my USB and Windows 7 on it, but i don't know how to install it on the Macbook Air 2012.
Any help will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,

Hello,
Thank you for the explanation that helped me to understand Windows 7 installation process!
Unfortunately i need more additional information as Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide is very poor with information that i need.
To explain you better what i mean on, i will quote Boot Camp Guide parts with underlined sentences that have been confusing me. Some sentences that have been confusing me more than other ones will be additionally bolded. I will explain you why i don't understand it after every part.
1. "Introduction"
"You can install Windows with an installation disc you provide or, on some Mac computers, with a USB flash drive that contains a Windows ISO images downloaded from Microsoft. Boot Camp Assistant helps you burn the image to the flash drive."
-But i already have my iso image on the USB flash drive. There is no need to be burned again?
2."What you need"
"Boot Camp Assistant erases the flash drive, and copies to it the Windows 7 ISO image and software drivers that let Windows work with your Mac hardware."
-Erasing the flash drive? Does it mean that it will delete my WIndows 7 which is already on my flash drive?
-Copying Windows 7 ISO image and software drivers to my flash drive? Why? I already have Windows on my flash drive! Software drivers? How do i get them and where shall i place them?
3."Prepare your mac for Windows"
"If you want to install Windows from a USB flash drive and you have a Windows 7 ISO image, select option to copy the image to a USB flash drive."
Why shall i select the option to copy Windows 7 ISO image?
1.I already have it on my flash drive.
2. I don't have it on my Macbook so there is no place in a ssd where Boot Camp will find Windows 7 ISO image.
Here is the overview:
Guide is telling me to select the option to copy image to a USB drive which will first erase my USB flash drive and then copy Windows 7 and it's software drivers to my USB flash.
-But only thing that i need is Windows support software and i don't know whether to download it to desktop, or to USB flash drive.
Kind Regards,

How to install Canon MG3170 printer to Macbook Air (mid 2012), both USB & wifi

I have been trying to install the Canon MG3170 to my Macbook Air (mid 2012 version) using OS X Version 10.8.4. I followed the paper manual that came with the box & used the CD provided. In the midst of the installation, "AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILE TRYING TO ADD THE SELECTED PRINTER: UNABLE TO FIND THE APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE ON YOUR SYSTEM AFTER RUNNING SOFTWARE UPDATE."
Problems:
1) Cannot connect on Network because there is no WPS button on my Airport Extreme and Airport Express.
2) Cannot print, both via USB or wifi network.
When I bought the printer, I specifically selected this because it has Airprint and wireless printing and was one of the few printers in the Apple Online store. However, I have been having a lot of issues getting the printer installed to be used on my Macbook Air.
Please help!!

Thank you John Galt!
After running SOFTWARE UPDATE, I restarted the Macbook. (DO NOT CONNECT THE PRINTER TO THE MACBOOK YET!)
Then I connected the Canon Printer MG3170 to my MacBook Air via the USB cable.
Next, I switched on the printer.
I am able to print and scan (via USB cable) from;
SYSTEM PREFERENCES - PRINT & SCAN - select CANON MG3100 series.
To install applications for printing & scanning, go to http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/8201148300.html
However, this solved part of the question above, i.e., printing via USB cable (which is not the whole purpose of using the Airprint Printer) but at least it is a start.
*NOTE: UNINSTALL any prior Canon softwares and drivers specifically installed for this printer first before attempting the steps above as it may interfere with the installation process.
