Bluetooth on the iOS devices is very limited in what can be paired, headphones, keyboards, but not computers so you can only use sync or Persona, HotSpot.

  • I can not sync my IPhone to My Imac. I have the latest version of ITunes on my Imac. I have tried reseting my phone (3), changing ports. Nothing works. I was thinking maybe my phone has the earlier version of ITunes but I can't update it.

  • I can't pair my iPhone with my iMac

    Iphone 5S IOS 8.1.1
    IMac 21.5 late 2013 running on OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    trying to bluetooth pair iPhone with IMac
    first open Bluetooth preferences on both devices. iPhone and iMac, are discoverable The device appears on iMac bluetooth menu. I click "pair" and a message with a code appears on my Mac. The code is the same on both devices and when i tap pair it initially says connected and then almost immediately after it says "Not Connect" and on the iPhone it says Connection Unseccessful "iPhone" in not supported. Then it says i must forget Device. 
    I have paired both my mouse and keyboard to iMac.
    On my iMac i have the bluetooth working for both the keyboard and the mouse.
    On my iPhone i have the bluetooth working with my car and speakers
    thus bluetooth hardware is not the issue.

  • HT204387 Can you pair an iPhone 4S with the ipad 3rd generation

    Does anyone know if you can pair an iPhone 4S with the 3rd generation iPad? Please help

    Only to tether, otherwise you can't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, is not supported on any iPhone.

  • How can use bluetooth with iphone 6plue ?

    My iphone 6 plus cannot fine bluetooth,

    many bluetooth devices needs to be put in pairing/ discovery mode in order to connect with a device they have not paired with before read the manual of the bluetooth device how you do that
    and this is what the ios devices support in terms of bluetooth profiles out of the box

  • HT1766 Can I backup my iPhone to my iMac at home AND my Windows Laptop at work ?

    New to iPhone.  I have it backed up to my iMac at home but would like to back it up to my Windows 7 Laptop at work.  Any problems in doing that ? Should I create another Apple ID for the Windows 7 Laptop ?
    Thanks,
    RJ

    You can only sync to one itunes account.  IF you try to backup/sync to your work PC it will erase everything on your phone and you'll have nothing to backup to.
    Stick to your MAC.
    If you need to backup look into icloud http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • Can't sync my iPhone with my iMac using iCloud.

    I have installed Lion (10.7.3) on my iMac.  I have attempted to enable iCloud on my iMac, my iPhone (4S), and new iPad.  I am unable to sync my iMac with my iPhone or my new iPad.  I am able to sync my iPhone with my iPad and vice versa via iCloud.

    you pick one mac, and stick with it.
    when using multiple computers you will be asked if you want to erase because the iphone is meant to be used with one library.

  • Connecting iphone 3gs to imac using bluetooth

    How can i connect my iphone 3gs to imac using bluetooth. On the mac it displays that my iphone does not have the "necessary services". On the iphone it just has the loading circling and not even recognizing a device. Plz Help.

    For what purpose are you trying to connect the two?
    The only thing you can connect a Mac to an iOS device for is Internet Tethering (Personal Hotspot) - nothing else.

  • Can iPAD bluetooth like MacBook Pro to establish a PAN through iPhone?

    For my MacBook Pro, I can feel free to establish PAN through BlueTooth to my iPhone, which has enabled Tethering for internet sharing. I would like to know whether iPad can also support it so that iPad can connect internet through iPhone BlueTooth Tethering?
    I wonder it would be pretty wastage to sign two contract with 3G carrier, one for iPhone and one for iPad.
    Please comment.

    You can't tether an iPad to an Iphone. The bluetooth profiles on the iPad do not support that. See:
