How do you easily switch Bluetooth headset between iPhone and MacBook Air

I Have a Bluetooth headset that can pair between my mac and my iPhone individually. However I only want my phone when I'm out and when I get home, id like to click the Mac and pair the headset without having to set the Bluetooth into the "searching mode".
Wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

For this to work the Drafts Mailbox should be set to live on the server, not locally.
Check in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [Your iCloud account] > Mail > Advanced > Drafts Mailbox

Share bluetooth headset between iPhone and Mac

Just got a Sennheiser MM100 headset (love it).
I'd like to use it with both my iPhone and Mac. But if I've paired it with both, I can't seem to control which device will use the headset for audio when I turn it on.
In other words, I'd like to be able to turn on the headset in the presence of both the Mac and iPhone, and decide which device I want the headset paired with on the fly, without having to pair/unpair the device or deactivate bluetooth on one of the devices.
Any way to do this?
Thanks,
Dave

Any way to do this?
None that I'm aware of.

Can't use internet with bluetooth connection between iPhone and macbook

My iPhone and my macbook both show that I have a successful bluetooth connection, but I can't use the internet on my macbook. What might be the problem?

Basic question: Do you have a tethering plan with your carrier? It isn't automatically provisioned; you have to ask for it and pay extra with most carriers. See these tips from Apple:

Bluetooth connection between iPhone and MacBook Pro

Is it possible to browse files on my iPhone from my MacBook Pro (MacBookPro3,1 Serial Number W873325SX94, OS X 10.9 (13A603)) via Bluetooth?

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

TS2972 File Sharing Between iPhone and MacBook Air: Please Help

I have trouble retrieving a tone I created (in the Ringtone! App) and then put in the Tones tab in iTunes on my Mac. The syncing of my 4S and my Mac seems to go fine (no problems are flagged). But I do not see the tones on the iPhone after the syncing; I searched up and down the iTunes library. All updates are current.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Agnieszka

I have tried using the guest login but get the message "Access denied to this server, contact administrator". I can access the Air from my iMac but even though they are both running Mavverick some of the dialog boxes appear different. And thats even though I have enabled guest login on the iMac

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

If the PDF supports it then you can try opening the PDF in iBooks on your phone and use the 'share' icon (the square with the upward pointing arrow) to email it to yourself (some PDFs a protected and don't support emailing) and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPad to copy it to its Mail app.
Or you can connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to your iTunes (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just ibooks) and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app, and you can then sync it to your iPad.

Facetime between iPad2 and MacBook Air worked fine here in the USA. The iPad2 is now in Rome, Italy and we can't connect internationally. We both can hear the caller ringing in, but after accepting the call we cannot connect. No voice, no video.

I am curious if possibly the hotel has some sort of VOIP block on. Have you tried Skype? Did you talk to the hotel staff? My husband is traveling to Milan in a couple of days and I wonder if he will run into the same issue. He has had no problems from Istanbul but he is staying in a corporate apartment there. If you find an answer please post back. Thanks

Syncing contacts, notes and tasks between iphone and Macbook

I have an iphone 4 and a brand new MacBook Pro and I understand how to sync contacts between the two and with my gmail contacts, however there are still some contacts on my phone that are not on my MacBook. I would like to know how I can keep my contacts up to date on both my iphone and Macbook without having to manually enter contacts from one to the other, ex: if I delete a contact on my phone, I want it to be deleted on my Macbook too. Is there a way to do this? Also is there a way to do the same thing with notes and tasks; between the iphone and macbook???

You can sync via itunes or sync via icloud

A problem to sync emails in Mail app between iMac and Macbook Air

Hello members,
I have had a problem that can't sync emails in Mail app(OSX Mavericks) betwee iMac and Macbook Air. I have iCloud mail account and several Gmail accounts on the mail app.
Is there anyone to help me?

When both are at home on the same network and sharing drives, you can use a variety of tools. Check the App store for fily syncronization. Also, OS X includes rsync if you are a UNIX command line person, and there are shareware GUI's for rsync as well (RsyncX was one I remember). Then there are commercial tools like Chronosync.
Another, albeit to my mind cumbersome way, is to use an airport time capsule and time machine. You use TM to backup each machine, and use the option in TM to browse another TM backup to restore from (eg. come home from a trip, backup the MacBook Air, then log on to the iMac, browse to the MBA backup volume and restore what you recently worked on from there).
Or get a NAS device for home and use that as a common personal form of dropbox. The key would be keeping a neat uniform directory structure for the things you need sync'd - like maybe just the Documents folder & subfolders.

Transferring photos between ipad and macbook air (not photo stream)

Photos were originally on my IMac 10.6.8. Put them on my Ipad (I think it's the 2nd one). Now I want to put the photos from my ipad to my macbook air. I have photo stream set up on both but I think because they were not taken on my ipad or originally downloaded from a camera to my ipad photo stream doesn't send them to my macbook via photo stream. How do I get them from the ipad to the macbook air 10.8.4?
Thanks, Kate

You can also use 3rd party apps like Photo Transfer App.

How do you toggle a microphone directly between enhanced and non-enhanced?

Apparently mixing calls between Microphone.getMicrophone() and Microphone.getEnhancedMicrophone() on the same device doesn't work very well. Take the following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600" creationComplete="onCreationComplete()" click="Microphone.getMicrophone().setLoopBack(true);">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.controls.Alert;
            private function onCreationComplete():void
                Microphone.getEnhancedMicrophone().setLoopBack(true);
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
</s:Application>
You will be able to hear yourself speak at first, but as soon as you click the app, you will no longer be able to hear your voice. I have also seen this sort of thing in other scenarios.
To make a long story short, if you call getEnhancedMicrophone() for one device, then try to call getMicrophone() for that same device, the device will stop providing any audio input. The same is true vice versa. However if you call getEnhancedMicrophone() for one device, then getMicrophone() for a different device, then come back to the first and call getMicrophone() for it, the device will work just fine.
Why? Is there any way to just toggle between enhanced and non-enhanced settings for the same device, without reaching out to an unrelated device? Thanks!

On your Microphone reference you have these constants you can set your options to:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/MicrophoneE nhancedMode.html
As you can see there, MicrophoneEnhancedMode.OFF disables enhanced mode. You would set your Microphone references .mode property to equal that to disable enhanced, or use one of the other relevant options to enable it. Thus, you should always use enhanced so you can toggle it.
