I cannot pair any devices with my macbook air

Out of the blue my macbook air (OS X lion) will not pair with anything.  It recognises mouse and keyboard and even indicates that the devices are connected but the pairing process will not finnish and the peripherals do not work.  Restart and zapping of pram does not help.

Did you also try a smc reset?

    I cannot sync Xerox M138 Printer with my Macbook Air. Printing is paused and does not resume. Please Help.

    I FIXED IT MYSELF.
    I simply let the iPod run out of battery.
    Then it said CONNECT TO POWER.
    And then I did.
    And after 15 minutes, it worked!
    Self-solved problem!

  • Cannot associate Apple ID with new MacBook AIr

    I just purchased a new MacBook Air and have all of the latest updates done to it.  I try to associate my Apple ID to the computer and get an error message saying I have reached my limit of Authorized computers 5 out of 5.  I went into my account and clicked on Manage Devices, but I only see 1 MacBook listed as a device (a previous computer of mine), the others are iPads & iPhones, which totaled more than 5 to begin with.  I tried deleting/unauthorizing a few of these devices and tried registering my account again on the MacBook Air, but am still getting the error message.
    Is there any other place that I can unauthorized computers on my account? I am thinking I may have an old PC or Mac associated with my iTunes account (that I no longer have access to and has since been recycled).
    I only see that one Mac on my account under devices, so according to that, I should have the ability to add 4 other computers, unless I'm missing something.

    Hi jmcaninch,
    I apologize, I feel there may be a bit of confusion regarding authorizing a computer vs. associating a computer/device, which are two similar but seperate processes. All Associated computers/devices are also Authorized, but not necessarily vice versa. There are different limitations on each, and the Manage Devices screen will only show Associated computers/devices, not Authorized computers. For more information and clarification, you may find the following articles helpful:
    Authorize your computer in iTunes - Apple Support
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - Apple Support
    In particular for your specific issue, you may find this portion from the first article helpful:
    What happens if I run out of authorizations?
    If one of your 5 authorizations is on a computer you don't use much anymore, deauthorize it. If you've sold or given away a computer that used one of your 5 authorizations, you'll need to deauthorize all of your computers and then re-authorize each one you still use.
    How do I know how many computers I've authorized?
    If you've authorized more than 2 computers, you can see how many are authorized.
    Open your account in iTunesand sign in with your Apple ID. (Or, open iTunes, click Store > Sign In, and enter your Apple ID and password.) In the Apple ID Summary section, you’ll see the number of computers that you’ve authorized with your Apple ID. You can’t see the names of those computers. 
    Do I need to authorize my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?
    No. You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but you do need toassociate your iOS devices with your Apple ID. Your iOS devices don’t use your available authorizations.
    Regards,

  • HT204387 Cannot pair iPhone 5 with Toyota Camry Bluetooth

    I cannot pair iPhone 5 with Toyota Camry Bluetooth. Never had a problem with android

    Two things that you need to verify first
    1. The first step in troubleshooting any accessory is to determine whether the accessory is compatible with the device. Contact your automotive manufacturer or the manufacturer of your aftermarket head unit to see if your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch model is compatible.
    2. Verify that both your car kit and your iOS device are running the latest software versions. To verify that your car kit is up to date, please contact your automotive manufacturer or the manufacturer of your aftermarket head unit.
    Also follow the Link. hope this helps.

  • Using Firewire devices with your MacBook

    My wife recently purchased a new MacBook and decided that she wanted to try editing video from our camcorder. We have a Sony DCR-HC26 with firewire and USB 2.0 ports. If necessary, we can use the software provided by Sony and the USB port to import the video but Sony says that the video quality is much better using the firewire port. Unfortunately, Apple chose not to provide a firewire port on the new MacBook and there are no ports for installing a card. Is anyone aware of options available to use firewire devices with your MacBook? It seems as though this would be a common problem given the number of legacy firewire devices out there. I researched adapters but the only one I found is currently only supported by Windows XP and that doesn't do us any good. Thanks for the help.

    The current white Macbook and the Macbook Pro has Firewire.
    http://www.apple.com/macbook/white/
    http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/
    There are no USB to Firewire adapters. (Desperate aluminum Macbook owners are looking, but it can't be done.) Firewire MUST be in the computer.

  • My iPhone 6 plus will not pair with my macbook air 2014

    My iPhone 6 plus gives a message unsuccessful not supported when I try and pair with my macbook air.
    both are running up to date iOS and OS X.

    An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458
