How do I use Bluetooth to connect my MacBook Pro to my iPad?

I am trying to sync up my iPad to my MacBook Pro.  The status on the MacBook shows that the two are paired, but neither shows them as connected.  How do I achieve the connection in order to share files?

On the advice of a friend I installed and ran a program on my MacBook called 'IPSecuritas'. This has stopped my wireless network from appearing and disappearing, but I still can't connect. Would really appreciate some help with this.

    How do I use iCloud to backup my Macbook Pro?

    Hi Rob
    It sounds like my problem is the same as yours..... Sorry, but I'm a bit of an iPad dummy so am writing for some more clarification...
    My problem is..... I am away from home and only travelling with my iPad, however we have sold our house and my bigpond email address on my iPad is getting clogged with all the solicitors stuff etc, so I really need these emails for my files...
    I want to be able to backup these up (so that I can retrieve them later to print out and file) and delete them from my iPad...
    I've just created an iCloud email account (I think) is this what you did? So should I forward all my emails to this iCloud email account? And will I be able to retrieve them later?
    I hope you login here to see my question.....
    Thanks Janet

  • Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?

    Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?
    If so, are there any problems and/or limitations in doing so? (i.e. no stereo sound, or anything else?).

    Can you use Bluetooth earphones simultaneously with the Magic Mouse (which is also Bluetooth)?
    And, just out of curiosity, why can't you use the Bluetooth earphones on an airplane?

  • How do I move a document from my MacBook Pro to my iPad?

    How do I move a document from my MacBook Pro to my iPad?

    What kind of document is it?  Keep in mind that you may need an app on the iPad to do anything with the document.  You can sync documents to particular apps by opening iTunes with your iPad connected, select the iPad in iTunes and click the Apps tab:
    Then scroll down to the File Sharing area, select the target app and drag a document to the Documents box.
    Alternately, you could use something like Dropbox to sync documents between your MBP and your iPad, as well as any other devices you like.

  • IPhone 4s bluetooth not connecting to macbook pro

    My iPhone 4s bluetooth is not connecting to macbook pro.  My 3Gs has always worked perfectly fine.  Is there a problem with the 4s hardware or iOS 5?  Anyone have any ideas?

    I'm trying to connect using Bluetooth to use my iPhone as a remote for keynote while on the go (no network to connect to.) maybe it can't be done with the new iPhones but it seems like we should be able to. Thanks for the snarky and super helpful answer though.

  • How may I transfere PDF files from my MacBook Pro to my IPAD

    How may I transfer PDF files from my MacBook Pro to my IPAD

    There are a number of methods, including via synch to iTunes on a computer and emailing them to yourself.
    I prefer using DropBox, which allows me to store them in the cloud and download only when needed, and send them to the app I choose (plus I do not synch my iPad to itunes). I typically use GoodReader or Adobe Reader, but any app that can read PDFs is typically available in the menu. You would need to install DropBox on the Mac as well as download the app on the iPad. Both are free.

  • How can I make the Finder on my MacBook Pro recognize my iPad as a device?

    I need to transfer images from my iPad to my MacBook Pro while preserving "file created" date and time information.  Trying to do this using iPhoto has not been working for Vertical *****, since the program auto-rotates the images and marks them as created at the time they are imported.  I would prefer to copy the images directly from the iPad to the MacBook Pro, but the iPad is not recognized as a device by the laptop's Finder, even though iTunes and iPhoto detect it.  Any advice?

    This is very frustrating...  I did not capitalize the first letter of "vertical" and did not use any inappropriate words.  This forum should provide a way to preview and edit posts.  I believe I conveyed my question adequately and appreciate any feedback despite any possible distractions...

  • HT1349 Why bluetooth cannot connect between MacBook Pro and iPhone 3? If I need how?

    I'm trying to connect ipnone 3 and MACBook Pro through bluetooth for photo transfer...but unable to recongnise, please advise?

    "I tried enabling Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro and iPhone, thinking I could file transfer some photographs."
    This is not a feature of iphone.  Never has been.
    Other than tethering for internet, where provided by the carrier, you cannot connect to a computer/device/phone and do anything.
    Bluetooth is for handsfree telephone devices/headsets, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some peer to peer apps from the app store and tethering where provided by the carrier.

  • Bluetooth keyboard connected to MacBook Pro but not typing

    Just bought the new MacBook Pro and love it. I've got my bluetooth wireless trackpad connected and working fine.  Unfortunately, my bluetooth wireless keyboard is connecting, but not typing.  How can I troubleshoot this?

    Okay, I've had the wireless keyboard disconnected from the old computer.  Now my current computer says the keyboard is 'connected' under the bluetooth drop down menu, however will not type and when I got into System Preferences>Keyboard and choose Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard it says No Keyboard Found, even though the little green light on the keyboard is flashing.  Any idea how to troubleshoot this and get the keyboard working?

  • How do I use iPhone apps on my Macbook Pro?

    Okay, so I have always wondered if there are any apps that are used regularly on iPhones that can be downloaded onto my Macbook Pro. I tried to find an answer to this and discovered this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which explains there is a way to download previous purchased apps on the computer so I followed the steps and downloaded some. Now this may be a stupid question, but does this just mean that I can now transfer these apps onto another device from my macbook, or can I actually use these apps in some way on a large, macbook monitor. If so how do I do this, and if not- I think it would be a brilliant idea for apple to make this an option in the future!
    Thanks for any help, I'm still working out some of the basics as a first time Mac user!

    hi
    you cannot, for example:
    I had to buy a separate Pages, Numbers app on my iPad...
    so there is an app for ipad/iphone/ipod and another for Macs....
    so the answer is no...

  • How can I use pages on my new macbook pro after having used it on my old macbook pro?

    I have pages installed on my old macbook pro and I just bought the newest model pro.  I thought I was transfering all of my programs using migration assistant, but after trying to start Pages on my new computer, this window asking me to buy or try iWork '09 keeps coming up.  How can i get rid of this window and start using pages normally again?  Maybe I have to run migration assistant again... 

    Do you have any other Apple IDs? I would just try signing in with other ID's, and checking the "Purchased" tab in the Mac App Store to see if Pages appears.

  • Problem while using Internet USB Connection with Macbook Pro

    Hi...
    My name is udayan and i am from India, I am using MACBOOK PRO from last 1 year. For most of this period i have used wi-fi connection for my laptop. But recently i have purchased a Relience Net connect Device for Internet facility. As soon as i started using this device, i have started facing an unusual problem. Whenever i start using it, after 5-10 mins. a fade screen appears and asks me to RESTART the laptop. This keeps on happening after every 10-15 mins which is pretty annoying. I have tried to use the same Internet device on normal laptops and it works just fine with that machine.
    Can you please help me to understand this phenomena? Is it a MAC limitation or something else?
    Hope to hear it from you soon.....
    Cheers!!!

    I tried to connect with Ethernet the MACBOOK Pro to the modem but the situation hasn't changed
    Are you saying you cannot connect to the internet wirelessly and through the ethernet?  If so, there is something else going on.
