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.

  • HT204505 Can I pair two iphones with a single apple watch simultaneously?

    I was wondering if I can pair two iPhones with a single Apple Watch simultaneously.  I have a personal iPhone and a work iPhone, both of which I would like to pair with my single Apple Watch.  Thank you.

    No.  You would have to choose which one you pair.  Only one at a time.  Sorry.

  • Hello I just bought a car VW scirocco and I can't pair the iPhone with the car as the car says that the phone is not compatible so what can I do ?

    Please I want to know what can I do to pair my iPhone to my VW as the car says that the phone is not compatible and I tried other phones and it worked very good.
    Thanks

    You must change or bluetooth module to a more recent one. It's under the passanger seat.
    I use this one: 5N0 035 730D. It works great on with the iPhone. You can even play musics from the iphone to the radio (on RCD 510 or RNS 510) wirelessly, using BT-Audio.
    I think you can buy it on ebay. It's relatively cheap.
    BTW, is your board computer red or white? If it's red there is no bluetooth module comptible with your car and the iPhone. It must be white.

    Please help i can't pair my phone's bluetooth with any bluethooth device

    You can not pair it with another phone. That is not, and has never been a feature of the phone. You can find information on the supported bluetooth profiles here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

  • I can not pair my iphone with Powerbook Pro 10.6.8

    I could not pair my iPhone 4 with Powerbook Pro 10.6.8 using Bluetooth. The code # is displayed, but refused.

    I am not familiar with the Mini bluetooth system, but in most cars there is a possibility to enter it to see what it was paired to. In that menu delete all earlier devices that it was paired to. Set the bluetooth in the iPhone to off, then to on again, and then let iPhone and car search again: probably they will find each other again and then type the pairing codes.

  • 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.

  • Can't pair new iPhone with Subaru Outback 2014

    I am having problems connecting my phone to the Bluetooth on my Subaru Outback 2014. The music works on the BT Audio but the phone doesn't. I keep following the instructions to pair phone and it times out. I now have the iPhone 5S. Worked fine with my old iPhone. Thoguhts???

    My wife and I have dueling 2012 Outbacks. She has the iPhone 5S with no problems; I have the iPhone 6 with problems. Before 8.1, I couldn't get them to pair at all. Once 8.1 came along, I could pair them successfully but had to re-pair them every time I started the car...a nuisance.
    Anyway, the FIX is to pair them using the controls on the steering wheel...NOT the controls on the radio.
    Once I did that, the car 'remembers' the phone.

    There are many apps in the App Store for transferring files between a computer and an iPhone using a cable, WiFi, or a cloud connection. Box and Dropbox cloud services are the easiest to use; I use Dropbox routinely to transfer business documents to our offices around the world.
    Evernote is another widely used cloud service.
    For local WiFi transfers there's Documents to Go, Airsharing, QuickOffice, and several dozen more. Documents to Go and QuickOffice also let you edit MS Word documents on the iPhone.

  • I can't pair my MacBook with my iPhone 5c

    I can't pair my MacBook with my iPhone 5c. Any suggestions on how to do it? I've tried switching Bluetooth off and on again, toying with AirDrop, but nothing works. There MUST be an easy way to send a file from the iPhone directly to the MacBook, right?

    What version of Mac OS X are you running? Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac.

    You can’t until Yosemite comes out; that’ll be sometime this fall, or in the spring for people in the Southern Hemisphere.

  • Why I can't paired my iPhone 6 with my Mac Pro?

    Why I can't paired my iPhone 6 with my Mac Pro?

    Some of the continuity steps require you to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. Some require you to be logged into the same Wi-Fi network. Either way, the answer to your question is that it will not pair with your Mac.

  • HT1689 I am trying to pair my iPhone with my mac computer at home via bluetooth, but I am getting a message that iMac is not supported. Can someone help troubleshoot this problem

    How can I pair my iPhone 4 to my computer via bluetooth?

    Actually you can if you have tethering on your phone. I tether via bluetooth with my macbook air all the time. It will only pair if you have tethering turned on and if your carrier supports it. Otherwise it will not pair.

    iPhone's Bluetooth is intended essentially for headsets, keyboards, and cars. Pairing with computers is not supported. Why use Bluetooth when you have wifi?

  • Can I pair my iPhone and iPad so I can put the phone in my bag and take calls threw the iPad like the ASUS

    Can I pair my iPhone and iPad so I can put the phone in my bag and take calls threw the iPad like the new ASUS tablet/phone combo ?
    As a Quadriplegic I keep dropping my mouth stick on the ground and I fumble for my phone when it rings the table on my wheelchair is cluttered with my iPad iPhone mouth stick and TV and AC remotes I want to be able to put my iPhone in my bag and receive calls threw the iPad.
    All new electric wheelchairs allow you to pair the joystick or chin control of the chair to only one device so currently you have to sacrifice your use of one to use the other if we can pair the iPhone and iPad by wifi we can then sit the iPad in a mount on our wheelchairs and pair it ia bluetooth and operate them with ease .
    Can anyone out there help me or pass on my needs to a development team within Apple, please help as I don't want to have to buy the ASUS tablet/phone
    Paul

    I would like to be able to do this also but, i'm not sure how to set my iPad to manually sync for one thing and also, when I connect my iPad to my new (recently purchased,first time,new to this) iMac it only gives me the option to either set up as 'new' or 'restore to my recent iPhone back up'. I just want them to be separate. How can I fix this please?

  • Can you pair an ipad3 with an andriod device

    can you pair an ipad3 with an andriod device

    Here's the Personal Hotspot section of the iPad User Manual.  Maybe you can set it up using WiFi.  Sorry about the added bullet (line) numbers.  They came from the cut and paste automatically.
    Personal Hotspot You can use Personal Hotspot (on Wi-Fi + cellular models) to share an Internet connection with a computer or other device—such as an iPod touch or iPhone—connected to your iPad via Wi-Fi. You can also use Personal Hotspot to share an Internet connection with a computer connected to iPad via Bluetooth or USB. Personal Hotspot works only if iPad is connected to the Internet over the cellular data network.
    Note: This feature may not be available in all areas. Additional fees may apply. Contact your carrier for more information.
    Share an Internet connection: Go to Settings > General > Cellular and tap Set Up Personal Hotspot—if it appears—to set up the service with your carrier.
    After you turn on Personal Hotspot, other devices can connect in the following ways:
    W-Fi: On the device, choose your iPad from the list of available Wi-Fi networks.
    USB: Connect your computer to iPad using the cable that came with it. In your computer’s Network preferences, choose iPad and configure the network settings.
    Bluetooth: On iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth. To pair and connect iPad with your device, refer to the documentation that came with your computer.
    When a device is connected, a blue band appears at the top of the iPad screen. Personal Hotspot remains on when you connect with USB, even when you aren’t actively using the Internet connection.
    Note: The Personal Hotspot icon appears in the status bar of iOS devices using the Personal Hotspot.
    Change the Wi-Fi password for iPad: Go to Settings > Personal Hotspot > Wi-Fi Password, then enter a password of at least 8 characters.
    Monitor your cellular data network usage: Go to Settings > General > Usage > Cellular Usage.
