I can't connect my iPhone 4 to my MBP through bluetooth
I go through all the correct steps but still can't make the two connect:
I search for my iPhone using the bluetooth setup assistant
BSA finds my iPhone and I click to pair with it
An attempt to pair window comes up with a number to check against on both my Mac and iPhone
I click the "Pair" button on my iPhone and get the swirling blade icon for about 30 seconds then a message saying that pairing was unsuccessful, but no reason why.
Any ideas what to try next?
Where does it state this?
I copied the following from the developer's website in regards to using an iPhone as remote with the app on a Mac.
Bluetooth is known to cause interference with the WiFi connection, so you should turn off Bluetooth on your iPhone or iPod Touch before attempting to connect.
This means turn Bluetooth off on the iPhone to connect the iPhone as a remote via wi-fi.
• Some firewalls and routers can cause connection problems. For the most reliable results, you can setup internet sharing in the 'Sharing' pane in System Preferences on your Mac. You can then create a network from the Mac over WiFi and connect to that network with your iPhone or iPod Touch.
It states you can use an iPhone as a remote for the app on the iPad when connected via Bluetooth with an iPad.

Can I sync my iPhone with my MBP via BlueTooth?
Hey All..
I'd love to sync my iPhone with my MacBook Pro via bluetooth but when I use the Bluetooth set-up assistant to add a device it doesn't even find my iPhone. I wondered if maybe it wasn't possible to link the two. Also...when I was in bluetooth and "browse device" my bluetooth kept quitting. Not sure if a)Bluetooth cant connect the phone yet b)my bluetooth on my MBP isn't functioning.
If anyone who can help with suggestions it would be great..
~RICKYTransferring music, video and photos is slow to me with USB 2.0 instead of using Firewire, so it would be like watching paint try trying to transfer such data via Bluetooth file transfer.
Not supported with the iPhone regardless. -
How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?
how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?
Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact. -

I purchased a new router and can not connect my IPHONE 4S to it. All my other devices connect fine including my IPAD. HELP! I am not a techie!! I am a newbie
My guess is that when you see the router on your phone, you press the blue arrow on the right - thats why you see all the IP stuff. Don't press the blue arrow. Press further to the left. You should be prompted for a password then.

I have tried everything but I can't connect my iphone to my laptop. It says that apple mobile device failed to be installed. I have read everything on the internet and did everything but still am facing the same problem. Can you please help me.
Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
Try a different port on the computer.
Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
Upgrade itunes to newest version.
Is you USB cord defective ?
Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
Delete or Disable any antivirus program on your computer ?
I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
We could do this for hours. -

By Design you can only Sync the phone to One iTunes Library at a time...
Syncing & importing pics/videos in the camera roll are two entirely different things & have nothing to do with each other.
You can import iPhone camera roll photos/videos using any computer you want...this has nothing to do with iTunes or syncing. -
