I cannot find/pair my iPhone to MacBook.

I cannot pair my iPhone 4 with my 13" MacBook (running Lion). I can sync the music and photos but it will not connect via Bluetooth and it does not appear as an option to use as a remote for Keynote or iTunes.

Hi laneysd,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Start with the tips in section 1 and 2 of this article if your car stereo doesn't pair with your iPhone:

  • What will pairing my iPhone and Macbook allow me to do?

    Just curious what capabilities I should have after pairing my iPhone and Macbook??
    I was able to pair them after 3.0, where prior I was not, so is there any advantage besides for tethering (which I know is not available yet, relax)
    I appreciate any help in advance, thanks.

    Bluetooth file transfer is not supported, so I can't imagine any reason you'd want the iPhone and Macbook paired until tethering becomes available.

  • Cannot find Siri on iPhone 4, after iOS 6 update

    I have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 but cannot find Siri anywhere. I've tried holding home button down but that just activates voice control. Its not in general settings either. Am I missing something obvious?

    Sorry, but there is no Siri for the iPhone 4:

  • Suddenly I cannot find wifi on iphone 4s

    I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 8.1.2.
    I find myself abroad for a month. I have been using my iPhone normally for three weeks without any trouble. Suddenly yesterday, after having worked with it for several hours, it cannot find anymore the wifi of the place in which I am staying, even if all other people can still use it.
    I already tried to disable the location setting and also to reset the original settings. None of these have produced any results. Can you help me?

    Hi ff/medic,
    To browse your music by playlist, look at the bottom of the screen in the Music app, you should see a Playlists button to click. If not, select the More… button.
    You can find this and much more information in the iPhone’s User Guide -

  • I cannot find iPhoto on my new macbook pro

    Where can I find iPhoto on my new macbook pro?

    iLife apps don't come preinstalled on new computers. Now, open App Store > Updates and accept iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand, so they'll be registered to your Apple ID and you'll be able to download them whenever you want

  • Cannot sync new 4s iphone to macbook air

    I have been syncing my old iPhone to my MacBook Air without issue.  Today I bought the 4S iPhone from Verizon and cannot get it to sync.  I get this message when plug the new phone into the MacAir:  The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.  Yet I have downloaded the latest iTunes and when I go to About iTunes it says I have verson 10.6.1(7) and that there are no updates available.  When I look in Finder, it says my iTunes is version 10.7.  Help!  At this point, I have a very dumb phone that cost a bundle and can't even receive email until I sync properly. 

    Launch the version you found in the Finder.

  • I cannot find a cover for my macbook pro A1260 13 inch

    Hey Guys/Gals,
    I am looking to buy a hard case for my 13 inch Macbook Pro A1260. Despite the screen size of 13/8.25 can I still purchase a card case for the other A1260s? There are several listed for 15 + inches....perhaps I am just missing something?
    Thanks 

    Get a Speck See-Thru. They fit like a glove and add very little weight. I have one on both my laptops and love them. Shop around and you can find them 1/2 off retail.

  • I am trying to transfer files from my MacBook Pro to my iMac using migration Assstance and they cannot find one another.  My MacBook Pro uses Migration Assistance 1.0.6 and my new iMac uses 10.5.3.  What can I do to allow sharing?

    How does one transfer Files from an old MacBook Pro to a new iMac?

    10.5.3 is at least part of the problem.  You need to apply the latest updates to that mac.

  • Help! Cannot find notes in iPhone 6

    My notes in my iphone randomly disappeared. They were all there this morning, and when I went to write more notes this afternoon they were gone! None of these notes were attached to my email either. Does anyone know how this happened and how I can retrieve my notes?

    The Archive & Install option in the OS X installer does what you want - but we're not anywhere close to reinstalling OS X yet!
    I'm still not clear on how the printer, the computer and the DSL modem are connected. Is it USB to the DSL modem and ethernet direct to the printer?
    In OS X, appletalk can't work unless ethernet is set up. You must have a non-self-assigned IP address for ethernet to be working. Self-assigned IP addresses start with 169.
    Does this help?

  • I cannot find wifi scan on my macbook pro 13" retina

    I want to use the wifi scan functionality on my Macbook and I have read that it is part of the wireless diagnostic tool. The instructions I read on the web told me to open the wireless diagnostic tool and to then press CMD-N to bring up the wifi scan menu. However, nothing happens when I press CMD-N (or T). My question thus: how to I open the wifi scan?
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Hey GerWol,
    I understand that you wish to use the Wi-Fi Scan feature of Wireless Diagnostics. This feature is located under Window > Utilities. Please see the following article for more information:
    About Wireless Diagnostics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5606
    Utilities includes additional functionality that can be helpful when resolving intermittent issues, or when working with a service provider. It consists of several tools: Info, Frame Capture, Logging, Wi-Fi Scanning, and Performance. In Wireless Diagnostics, choose Window > Utilities, or press Command-2. The Utilities window appears.
    Wi-Fi Scanning--Wi-Fi Scanning will examine the Wi-Fi environment around you, and let you know what Wi-Fi routers exist. It includes information on the Network name, Password Security type, Protocol, Signal Strength, and Noise, as well as Channel, Band, and Country the router is designed for.
    Thanks,
