I cant get iphone 4 to connect with my macbook via bluetooth.  IS there a way?

I can connect and pair my ipad to the iphone.  I can pair it to the macbook pro - but when i try to connect the 2 the Iphone tells me it is not supported.  Is there a way - or is this coming in Lion

No, and not coming in Lion.  iPhones don't have the BT profiles for data transfer.  The only BT connection possible between the iPhone and a computer is for tethering/hotspot internet connection. 
WiFi data connection is far more reliable and faster.

    How to get Kensington K9294 to connect with original iPad. Bluetooth is on.

    Sorry, but what is a Kensington K9294? I can find no mention of that product ID on the web, not even on Kensington's site. Do you mean the K39294, the KeyFolio keyboard/case?

  • I am not able to connect with another ipod via bluetooth can u pls help me

    i am not able to connect with another ipod via bluetooth can u pls help me

    Are yo trying to pair via an app that supports BT pairing?  If you are I would try:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Resetting network settings on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • My iPhone 5 does not connect to my Macbook via Bluetooth (this is so frustrating!!)

    Ok so i bought my iPhone 5 a couple days ago. So i installed and applications from app store ( on my mac ) which enables me to control my iphone through my mac (via bluetooth). It's very cool when my iphone is docked so i don't need to reach to it every single time. AND. guess what. my iphone refuses to connect to macbook and vice versa.
    This is sooo frustrating i'm gonna die.
    When i go to the general settings and bluetooth menu, it doesn't even find my macbook. I need to go to the bluetooth menu on mac, set up bluetooth device and then select my iphone. Then, it does pair. BUT it doesn't connect it says:
    Connection Unsuccessful
    "Macbook Pro" is not supported.
    And gives me only on option: "Forget Device"
    Any help?

    you mentioned you purchased from the mac app store, the only thing I could find is Type2Phone, and that app has some ts'ing steps in its description that match almost exactly what you described /

  • FaceTime always fails on outgoing calls with my MacBook Pro. Is there some way I can fix it?

    Have I accidentally disabled a connectivity preference that subsequently disabled FaceTime? My connection is great, so that must be out of the question. I have tried calling it from another Mac and from an iPhone, but only then does it cooperate. I don't want to downgrade the FaceTime that came with my MacBook, so can someone help me out?

    The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
    What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7.  PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel.  At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years.  They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion.  It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier.  The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.

  • Connecting surface to macbook via bluetooth

    I am attempting to connect my surface pro, running windows 8.1, to a macbook, running osx 10.6.8, via Bluetooth. I would like to be able to share file between the two computers and if possible extend the display of my surface to the macbook.
    I have discovered and added the laptop as a device, but I am unable to send any files in either direction.
    When I go to display settings the laptop does not show as an option to display to. 
    I don't know if either of these applications are readily supported but if they are I would really like to know how to both. They would make things run much more smoothly in my classroom.

    Just mark the question as 'solved,' please - that will keep others from clicking the question to see if we can help you.
    Thanks, and glad you got it working!

  • I cannot get my iMac to connect to my macbook via Thunderbolt to use my laptop as an extended desktop

    I am trying to connect my iMac 21.5" desktop to my macbook pro via Thunderbolt cable so that I can use my laptop as an extended desktop. I have tried using detect displays to get it to show up and nothing happens. I've tried doing command + F2 to make it a targeted display, but the only thing I can get to happen is my iMac will mirror my Macbook and that's not what I want. No matter what I have tried it hasn't worked. I have tried turning both computers off and I have a brand new thunderbolt cable. I've updated all the software. Is there anything else I'm missing??
    I'm running OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
    Thank you !

    We've already done all of that. And we used the same thunderbolt cable to connect two iMac's and that worked totally fine doing the Command+ F2. I don't understand why we can't get the macbook to do the same.

  • When I export a PNG file on illustrator, I get random empty space along with my exported object. Is there any way I can make just my object export and nothing more?

    This is an example of my problem. This icon is the sole object in this document, and is the only thing being exported here. Yet when I do export it, a random bar of white space is exported along with it. I am currently using Illustrator to design the art for a video game, meaning that this empty space plays havoc with my end product, and I have to meticulously crop anything I export. Since I do have to make hundreds of individual sprites for this, I would love to learn how to fix this problem and save myself a lot of time. So, what exactly am I doing wrong here, and how can I fix it?

    quicklite,
    I believe the resulting/final size may extend just a tiny bit above a whole point/pixel (value) on the pixel grid.
    You may see by Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds (if needed), then select one of the top Reference Points in the Transform palette and look at the Y value measured in points/pixels.
    If that is the case, the solution would be to get rid of that tiny bit.

    Last night I discovered my daughter can connect her iPod Touch 5 (iOS 8.0.2) to my iPhone 5 (also iOS 8.0.2) using the Personal Hotspot function (via Bluetooth) even when Personal Hotspot is set to OFF on my phone.  Is that really working as intended by Apple?
    If she tries to connect via WIFI, she cannot unless I have the Personal Hotspot set to ON.  OK good, that makes sense!
    If she connects via Bluetooth though, she always sees my phone and if she selects that connection, it turns my Personal Hotspot on my phone from OFF to ON.  That just seems odd to me.  I'd prefer to restrict that.  I have noticed that even if I change my password on the Personal Hotspot, it does not matter.  If she selects that connection via Bluetooth, BOOM...  It changes it on my phone from OFF to ON.
    Anyone else notice this?  Sure, I can turn off Bluetooth on my phone to stop it, but I use BT quite a bit for speakers and in my car.  I usually prefer to leave it ON.  She also uses BT for her wireless speaker.
    IMO, Apple should change that to if I have my personal Hotspot set to OFF, it should not be visible at all unless I turn it ON (like it works over the wifi connection).
    Personal hotspot is a carrier feature.
