I am having trouble connecting my iphone 4 to my imac via bluetooth.

I tried to pair my iPhone with my iMac but it didn't work. The Mac first says the connection is successful but the iPhone tells me it was not and forgets the iMac. Then I go into the Bluetooth menu on the iMac and there is a red dot next to the iPhone on the menu saying that it is not connected. Is there a specific way or order that this needs to be done in or software I need?

You can't connect your iPhone to your iMac via BT. Simple as that.

  • I'm having trouble connecting my iphone to my itunes on my computer

    So for christmas I got an iPhone and currently, I'm having trouble connecting my iPhone to my iTunes on my computer. If I get on my computer and open my iTunes, I can use it perfectly fine but once I tried to connect my phone to it, it told me the software needed to be updated before it would work with my phone. I went to the website and tried downloading the updated version 10 times but every time it told me it couldn't connect with an apple device or something. So then I tried just going to my downloads and stuff and moving the actual song straight to my phone but it would always tell me my device has ended or has been disconnected. All I'm trying to do is move some songs onto my phone from my computer. They weren't purchased straight from iTunes so it's not showung up in my "purchased" on my phone. (I think I got them from amazon and some are cds that I my computer that I got years ago. Maybe thats why they don't show up in the purchased?) Anyway, how can I fix this? I have a windows computer if that can help at all. Thanks!!!

    Also, I just opened my iTunes on my computer then plugged my phone to the computer and a box popped up saying "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started"
    I have no idea what that means.
    I don't have that option on the side that says what device is connected so I can't sync or anything.

  • I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via wireless router. It says it is connected, but when I try to open email, no connection is found. This also occurs for Safari and Facebook. I am connected by Charter Cable.

    I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via my wireless router. The IPad says I'm connected to the router, but I am unable to receive email, Facebook and Safari. I run through Charter Cable.  This only occurs on my IPad. My desktop works fine.

    Although it may ultimately be necessary to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and start over with a new configution, we can first try to see if things will work with the existing settings on the device.
    Push the reset button (if present) on the cable modem
    Power off the modem by pulling the power cable
    Remove the internal battery from the modem (if easily accessible)
    Power off the AirPort Extreme and every other device on the network....order is not important
    Wait at least 20 minutes....longer is better
    Re-install the battery in the modem if it was removed previously
    Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme
    Power up the modem and let it run 4-5 minutes buy itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run 4-5 minutes
    Then power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart
    Check for a good Internet connection on the network with all devices
    If still no luck, you will need to perfom a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
    Pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AirPort Extreme
    Release the reset button and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Then open AirPort Utility end reconfigure the AirPort Express again.

    How to connect my iPhone to my iMac trough bluetooth?

    If you have a wifi router you can set up/turn on the wifi... set the user name and password wifi in your router... open wifi in general settings on the iPhone... log into your router, user name and password. (If your don't know how to turn on the router wifi. Google the router make and model and you will find instructions on how to do this.)
    If you don't have a wifi router and your Mac has wifi capabilities you can hookup to the internet over wifi from your Mac to your iPhone.
    System Preferences on the Mac... Network... Wifi... Advanced tab... Hit the '+' to add a user name and password...
    Make sure you use WPA2 Personal for Security... Hit ok... Turn on the wifi... Same as above with the iPhone, log into your wifi settings on the iPhone.
    *Important point... Use WPA2 for the encryption/Security setting. If you use anything else for this setting, your wifi can be hacked.

    Is there a way for me connect my Iphone 5 to Itunes via Bluetooth I dont have my cable right now. Is there a way please help

    Not via Bluetooth. You can connect over Wi-Fi, but this needs to be configured when the device is connected with a cable.

  • Having trouble connecting my iPhone 4 to iTunes

    My iPhone 4S won't connect to iTunes anymore and when charging the connection is now temperamental.  What can I do?

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • TS1398 hello my name is adam and im having trouble connecting to wi-fi on my iphone 4s. ive tried everything including resting my iphone to factory settings. i cant connect to any wifi at all. what should i do?

    hello i have been having trouble connecting to any wi-fi. ive tried everyting and can not connect to any wi-fi avalible. i have also rest my iphone 4s to factory settings and can still not connect to a wifi. what can i do?

    If you cannot connect to any Wi-Fi then try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help try resetting all Networks.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Netowrk Settings
    Still no help? Then make an appointment at an Apple Store for a consultation.
