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.

  • I can not pair my ipad with my iphone 5s

    I recently bought an iphone 5s and I could not pair it with my ipad (4th generation). I went to settings in each device, turn on  blue tooth and made both devices visible, but they can not connect.  Both devices has the OS updated.  Both devices were bought in an athorized dealer.  Thanks

    No, with Apple devices, life is different.
    If you're trying to keep calendars, contacts, notes in sync, consider using iCloud as described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436
    Apps are automatically available to both devices.
    You can keep the music in sync by using iTunes Match should you desire, or simply iTunes on your computer.
    You can use iTunes on your computer as a repository to sync your devices.

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • Can't pair Jabra SP5050 with iPhone 5.  Any suggestions?

    Finally upgraded from my old iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5 but now it won't pair with my Jabra SP5050.  I've followed the Jabra instructions but my phone just won't find it.  Are they incompatible?

    Interesting.  I tried your suggestion - got the 3GS to forget the Jabra SP5050 - but still no luck pairing with the iPhone 5. I successfully paired the Jabra again with the 3GS, so that combo definitely works.  I googled the troubleshooting/faq full user manual for the Jabra and found that you can make it forget any pairings by pressing and holding the volume up and volume down together with the answer/end button for 7 seconds.  I did that and then tried pairing the Jabra with the iPhone 5 and success!

    Why I can not pair my ios4 with my dell pc via Bluetooth ?

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

    I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
    Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
    For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
    Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
    If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
    Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
    There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

  • How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth?

    How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth? I get the pair message on both, but after acknowledging on both devices the connection fails to establish. I looked around and everything I found had to do with file transfer. I can share access to the internet via Bluetooth and it works with other devices I've tried this with. Thanks.

    Sorry.  After re-reading my question I realized that I wasn't clear.  I don't want to transfer files.  I want to use PDANet from my android and connect my iPad for internet access via bluetooth.  I know this is a 2 way transfer of data not very different from transferring files, but I just want to be sure that this is not going to work so I can stop trying as if I'm doing something wrong.  Like I said, I can do this with any other bluetooth capable device/computer I have.  Seems like it's just not working either by design or as a result of some limitation.  I guess 2 way communication with a headset gave me hope that internet access would work.  Thanks!

    Thanks!
    I wouldn''t recommend any of them, I've tried them, including the one mentioned above. The performance is not acceptable and they seem somewhat unstable, I couldn't be certain they don't cause other problems for your computer. My advice would be to wait for Mountain Lion

  • How can I establish bluetooth connection with my iPhone so I can share and modify my iPhone's contact list on my macbook?

    How can I establish bluetooth connection with my iPhone so I can share and modify my iPhone's contact list on my macbook?

    The Mac and iPhone sync with iTunes though the charge cable that is included with the iPhone. Through this, you can sync your calendars and contacts.
    Bluetooth is an impractical sync scheme as the time it would take to say transfer your song catalog could be longer than your phone contract. I suppose it is entirely possible to implement with hacks and jailbreaking, but I am fairly sure it is beyond the rules here to discuss such activities.
    You may wan tto ask this same question in the iPhone section of the comminitie here. There may be some workarounds for just contacts.

  • 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.

  • How to share my internet connection on my macbook with my iPhone ?

    Hi guys, Do you know how to share my internet connection on my macbook with my iPhone. I have already made my own network, and I allowed sharing Internet , but it didn't work. Can you help me , please?

    If your carrier provides the service, go to Settings > General > Network > Personal Hotspot.  If you don't see the Personal Hotspot option, then your carrier does not support it.
    Note that you'll have to pay for a 'tethering' data plan on top of your normal iPhone data plan.
