I don't want my iphone paired with my macbook air, but it is.

... and I can't find a way to unpair it!
When I click on the Bluetooth icon on my computer with OSX 10.9 , I get this list:
As you can see, a device called 'iPhone' is connected. If I disconnect it, it automatically reconnects in a few seconds.
(Also on the list is 'Sam Pieter's iPhone', which is apparently not connected)
I open Bluetooth Preferences and see this:
Just two devices: my mouse and my phone. Why is that 'iPhone' not in this list?
When I turn my phone's bluetooth off, both the mystery device and my phone are gone from the list:
So, the devices 'iPhone' and 'Sam Pieter's iPhone' apparently are the same.
On my 4S iPhone, when I go in the bluetooth settings, I see one device, my computer called SPSvL, and it's 'Connected'. There's no 'i' information button that I can click on in order to 'forget this device':
How can I get rid of this Bluetooth connection?

  • 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

  • HT201270 I want to sync my iPhone 4S with my MacBook Air, seems simple enough...

    I am having trouble syncing my iPhone 4S with my MacBook Air. I thought all I had to do was connect my USB cable to the iPhone and to my lapatop and voila, it wound sync, but I guess not. Any ideas?

    I didn't get any message, that was what surprised me. However I went to turn off my computer and I received a message saying it was syncing and that it would stop if I turned off my computer. I had lauched iTunes, shouldn't I have seen some messge? I thought I would see the iPhone on the desktop too. Thanks for your help.

  • I can't sync my iPhone 5 with my macbook air.

    I can't perform a wi-fi sync with my iphone and my macbook air. Itunes is still recognizing my old computer and says it will sync when my old computer is available.

    Try plugging your iPhone into your new MacBook Air using the USB cable for the first sync.

  • HT1619 I can't get my remote to pair with my Macbook air

    Just got a new Macbook air and a remote. I changed the battery, followed the directions in the booklet (press the right button) and then the one on line (simultaneously press menu and fast forward) and neither worked. Does the remote not work with the MacBook Air?

  • No problem with iMac, MacBook Air, but no joy with iPod touch

    I switched ISP last week, and while I was able to link Mail with a MacBook Air, I hit disaster when I tried to do likewise with iPod Touch. I have my email with one ISP, but the new ISP gives me better broadband, and so I must use their SMTP. At first I had no problem as I inserted the correct Incoming and outgoing settings. Now I can't get past the first step of the new account box. That box throws up a webmail address I never had, and an Stmp I dispensed with last week. When I proceed to insert the correct settings, I get a message that my email service won't work. At my wits end with this. Can anyone help? Please.
    Pat (Dublin)

    Do the incoming and outgoing mail server settings match those of what is shown on your MacBook Air?

  • Don't get support  of Apple with NEW MacBook Air !!

    31 july 2012 i have purchase Mountion Lion , only last week i had the time to install it on my IMac 27"
    Since then i have problems with it.
    Apple touchpad moving = ok but click on any place = NOK
    keybord forced quit don't respond
    only solution was to powercyble the IMac
    2 weeks ago i have buy also a MacBook Air with Lion
    Yesterday i had a support engineer that told me to reset the IMac true cmd alt R and P keys
    and to call back when it hapend again.
    Yesterday night i had a "escalation" of the issue, on the top right corner i lost most of the icons , like wireless network date and time name etc....
    If i go to system prefferences and open networks it hangs
    tested with another admin user account same issue
    Today a apple enigeneer called and the first wat he asked is when i have buy the mountion Lion software , i told it was 31 July but due workload only last week installed.
    It is today 3 days over time and he will not give me support ! That when i have a 2 weeks old MacBook Air intront of me.
    Do i need to go to Microsoft to get support ?
    I'am on the point that the 3 iMac's here in house , 2 iphones, Macbook air airports (3)  and all other junk of apple wil go fly true the window !

    It was a new and clean install of Mountion Lion , i don't like update/grade's of pref system
    Mayby it was happend because i use VLAN's on my network, i had 5 VLAN's defined and there where working fine.
    until it screwed up
    The only what i have now is a usb disk and backup manualy all my stuff
    think i will install lion back instead mountion lion

  • Why does my bluetooth keyboard fail to pair with my MacBook Air?

    It did in the past until my laptop froze while initiating a personal hotspot.
    The Bluetooth set-up assistant recoginizes the keyboard but will not pair.
    The keyboard does however pair with my Apple TV and other MacBooks

    First make sure the batteries aren't dead and that the keyboard hasn't already been paired with another device. If it hasn't, the keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
    Otherwise see these support articles:
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 and later) and iMac (Late 2012): Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
    Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
    If you have a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, you may need a wired keyboard to complete the pairing process. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.

  • I synced my ipad with my macbook air but the contacts on the ipad were all deleted. Can't seem to find a way to restore them. Contacts on macbook unaffected

    I tried syncing my ipad with my macbook and checked the box to replace the contacts on the ipad with the contacts on the macbook. Now the contacts on the ipad have been deleted (address book now empty). The macbook contacts have been unaffected. I'm not syncing with icloud. Any solution?

    James Ward4  Thanks for your suggestion.  I have tried the video app and it appears to have some, but not all of the downloads which are viewable without wifi, so I will now review the download process and see if I can capture the missing episodes.  Thanks again.

  • Using an external webcam or an iPhone 5s with a Macbook Air

    I'm trying to record videos and do better video chats in PhotoBooth or iMovie with something of better quality that the built in iSight camera.  Can't seem to figure out if it's possible to use my new iPhone 5s as an external video camera -- doesn't seem to recognize it as an external camera-- and can't find the best recommendation online for a better external webcam that does both video chat and recording.  Any suggestions?

    Linc Davis 
       You can't use the phone. Any USB webcam that complies with the UVC standard should work. Logitech makes several
    Nope.   You can get video off a logitech in a mac, but only thru photobooth or likewise and recording video wont work.
    Any audio thru Logitech webcams wont work (tried several), and forget about any of the really good software that comes with the logitech webcam working on the Mac.
    Frankly, Logitech is absurd for being so anti-Mac compliant, ....since their webcams are very nice and great quality.

  • My notes won't sync from a google account with the macbook air, but they sync fine on the ipad air and iphone 4s??

    I keep getting this message when I try to sync my notes in a google account this message keeps popping up... mail couldn't discover the account settings.  My mail shows up, contacts and calendar sync fine, and notes from other emails sync fine.  But this one email will NOT let me sync?????? Any suggestions? 

    Go to Settings>Mail Contacts Calendars
    Scroll down to Mail section and find Show. Selecting something different here may solve your problem. Mine says "50 Recent Messages". You may need more.

  • My i cloud is on with my macbook air, but no pictures are comming down from the cloud, they are there, via my I-phone

    My I-cloud is not transfering pictures to my computer..its turned on, and password on, the calender is working..

    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • I have a wired keyboard which won't work with my MacBook Air unless I use the extension cable supplied with the apple keyboard. Is this normal or have I got a connection problem?

    I Have an apple wired keyboard which suddenly won't work unless I use the apple ext cable supplied with the keyboard...used with the wire fixed into the keyboard it just won't respond.  Do u think the keyboard is faulty. ? I want to use it with my MacBook Air and a big screen.

    My best guess is that either there's a small deformation of the USB plug of your keyboard or some foreign matter (like lint) inside the keyboard plug. When I was setting up my new lab last year I had to use the extension cables and I found that the female end of the extension cable was considerably tighter than the computer's USB port. If an Apple store is nearby it would be worth taking the computer, keyboard, and extension just for piece of mind.
