I cannot pair my Macbook Air (Yosemite) with my iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth. It is recognising the devices but 'connection unsuccessful'

That is correct. Macs do not pair to iPhones, iPads, etc.
However, pairlng is not required to get Handoff to work. Both devices must have Bluetooth on, but they need not (indeed cannot) be paired.
OS X Yosemite: Pick up where you left off with Handoff
You must be using supported devices:

How do I pair my macbook air 2010 with apple tv 2

-

Sorry, that is not possible.
As you can see here, that MacBook Air is too old to use AirPlay Mirroring:

You also cannot use an HDMI cable to "pair" your MacBook Air. The reason is your model has a mini-display port (that looks like a Thunderbolt port, but is not). Therefore, it cannot send audio to the Apple TV.

How do I sync my Macbook Air Calendar with my iphone 4s?

I can't get my Macbook Air to show my calender events from my iPhone 4S. How can I sync them?

How would you like to sync them - by cable connection, over wifi, or over iCloud? You should only use one of these three methods.
To use cable connection, attach your charging cable between the iPhone and Mac, open iTunes, go to the iPhone tab, click Info, and make sure Calendar sync is enabled, and that all the calendars you need are set to sync. Click Sync.
To use wifi connection, you must first connect via cable - under Info, you can set "Sync over wifi". You can now disconnect the cable, but your iPhone must be attached to power in order to sync.
To use iCloud, set up iCloud sync of calendars on the Mac first - go to System Preferences, iCloud, and turn on Calendar sync. After a few minutes, log into http://icloud.com with your appleid and make sure the calendars are there. Once that's done, go to the iPhone, Settings, iCloud, and turn on calendar sync. Again, it will take a few minutes to sync.

Cannot print from Macbook Air to Lexmark x2650 on Windows XP via wireless network (Linksys e1550)

Unable to print from recently purchased Macbook Air via wireless router (Linksys e1550) that is connected Windows XP which is connected to Lexmark x2650 printer. Macbook Air is connected to wireless router and able to access internet. Windows XP printer is set-up for sharing and I am able to see and add printer from Macbook Air. I have installed Lexmark 2600 series driver on Macbook Air. Macbook Air sends print job to print queue and print job is released from queue but does not print on Lexmark printer connected to XP. Any suggestions?

Hi Wade, and Welcome to the dicussions.
I think it's how the PC is setup and interpreting the Mac's drivers, should just pass them on I think, but here's a way to get most any Mac to print to most any printer on an XP machine...

Trying to figure this one out

Nope. File transfer, by Bluetooth, is not supported. These are the only supported Bluetooth profiles:

MacBook Air Messages Application and iPhone 6 Messages not synching

Hello,
I have an iPhone 6 and just purchased a MacBook Air (OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2)
I am having trouble getting the Messages Application on the MacBook Air synching with my iPhones messages. A few contacts don't show up on the Messages application on my computer and sometimes messages take time to come through.
This might be a separate issue but my Calendar is also taking time synching. This seems more of a delay issue.
Thank you for your time in advance!!!

TS3999 my calendar is not syncing with my iphone or ipad

I cannot get my calendar to sync with my iphone or ipad, any suggestions?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

That is because they do not generally pair. What is it that you are trying to do by connecting them via Bluetooth? If you are referring to AirDrop or continuity, then all you need to do is have Bluetooth turned on, they do not pair.

How do i pair my macbook air with my iPad??

How do I pair my macbook air with my iPad???

What do you mean by "pair"? If you're asking about Bluetooth pairing, the only thing you could do if you paired them would be to share the iPad's internet connection. iOS doesn't have the BT profiles for file sharing or syncing.
If you're asking about something different, please provide some details.
Best of luck.

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar. I can get it to sync if my iMac is set to MobileMe calendar, but I cannot get rid of iCal which keeps coming up with an error message.

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar. It will synce with MobileMe calendar on the iMac, but I can't get rid of iCal on the iMac and this one keeps coming up with an error message.

About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.
