IMac as a bluetooth for iPhone
How can I use my mac as a bluetooth device for my iPhone? Specifically, can I have a call display on my mac when someone is calling my iPhone?
The links you provided involve hacking the iPhone, which is against Apple's license agreement for the iPhone, is not supported by Apple directly or indirectly via these discussions, voids the warranty if discovered with a warranty claim, and last but not least removes all the built-in security included with iOS.

Do anybody know if Apple is working on coming up with Stereo Bluetooth for Iphone?
Here is how I am able to listen to audio thru my bluetooth earpiece from my iPhone's iPod content including video. It works with Apple's bluetooth and Motorola's H5 bluetooth. It's only one ear hence mono sound I believe. I don't have a stereo bluetooth headset to listen to to hear otherwise.
First make sure the bluetooth is paired and active. Touch phone from home screen< then touch voice mail < then in the upper right hand corner touch audio < your bluetooth device should be visible < touch it.
Now you should be able to listen to your iPod thru your headset. The only drawback is that the audio is also going thru the iPhone speaker too.
It works on my iPhone running latest update. Good luck. -

Hi all. I was wondering if you can connect your iMac to your iPhone via bluetooth. Basically when a call comes in I can answer on iMac and speak through my desktop or could dial someone and talk through desktop. is this possible?
thanksSuch a beast does exist but unfortunately it's not free. I checked long and hard but found only one good implementation. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16070/bluephoneelite. I tried it and it works as advertised but it still a bit rough around the edges for my liking. I'll wait a while longer and see what else comes out. Maybe a new version of BluePhoneElite will convince.

Bluetooth for iPhone 6 still won't pair with my car after iOS 8.1 update
So frustrated. I assumed that Apple knew about the problem and that iOS 8.1 would fix what is clearly a very common/widespread issue. Bluetooth is not exactly a new technology... how is it that Apple creates a highly advanced phone, but it can't make a 10-15 years-old technology work?
I never had any issues with my 5S, but my iPhone 6 has not been able to pair with the Bluetooth in my 2011 Mini Cooper since the day I got it (no phone or BT audio). The 8.1 update has had zero effect on the sequence of events that occur when I try to pair my phone. The car has no problem recognizing the phone, and I can see the car listed under Bluetooth devices, and when I select the car from the list of devices on the phone, the screen to enter the pairing code comes up on my car display. The problem is that the phone never gives me the code to enter into the car display.
I have tried all the "tricks" people have used to get their BT to work (deleting all phones from car, resetting all phone settings, renaming the phone, etc). Nothing works for me. I really don't want to have to get rid of my 6, but since Apple has never publicly acknowledged the problem, I have no way of knowing if this is ever going to be fixed.
Really disappointed in you Apple. This is my 3rd iPhone, and you're about to lose a loyal customer if you don't get this sorted out very soon.The same problem here. iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.2 and bmw 328i 2013 with latest Bluetooth update doesn't pair. The phone will see the car in bluetooh settings but fails to connect. Based on apple tech support I did the following:
1. powered thr phone down and back on- no help
2. Removed all other phones from iDrive- no help
3. Tried with wi if off - no help
4. Reset network settings- no help
5. Restored my phone entirely to factory settings- no help
The phone can pair to other Bluetooth devices and the car can pair with iphone 4 running iOS 7 no problem. my wife's iphone 6 won't pair with my car either.
I sure hope apple is still working to correct this! -
I was considering using my rebate for an "Apple" bluetooth but after reading many reviews I've decided not to. Could anyone recommend, the BEST one out there that works with the iPhone. I am now considering the Motorola HS850, I'm looking for something small, with range, and all the good stuff you look for in a bluetooth. I purchased a Jawbone and didn't like the fact that it was so bulky looking and it didn't fit right on my ear even after changing earbuds and earloops, but I didn't lose out my husband liked it so I gave it to him.
I have the Apple Bluetooth. Works great for me since day one. Some complaints out there though it may be like the iPhone and just be certain ones are glitched. Pretty cool to have a travel charger that keeps the iPhone and headset together.. and a dock as well that does the same.

Which is the best stereo bluetooth for iPhone 4 on the lines of Sony Ericsson MW600?
Can anyone who has had 1st hand experience with stereo bluetooth that they have used.. come forward with their reviews on them..? I had a Sony Ericsson MW600 which i have now misplaced... overall they do their job pretty well.. you can use the play, forward and rewind buttons.. and yes of course pick up calls to.. it has multipoint allowing you to connect upto 3 devices at once, although you cannot use all the devices at once, you need to change your device from the bluetooth inbult led menu which can get frustrating at times... but its an option nonetheless.. Also it has radio, which your iPhone does not have.. not that i use it anyways but an added feature for radio enthusiast.. They have a great battery Life too and also you can put in your own in ear headphones which i really apprecaite.. The only downside of these bluetooth are that.. they are not as loud as i would like them to be... but opinions can differ in that area... So thats my reveiw on the Sony Ericsson MW 600.. Now can anyone suggest me something similar to buy? preferebally a bluetooth which can support other in ear headphones and are nice and loud..
There isn't any - iPhone simply don't work proberly with a bluetooth headset.

Is there a google voice search for imac like for iphone?
is there a google voice search for imac like there is for iphone?
Yea, I think this is a difficult situation. I am trying to really understand the advanced actions she (the person whose project I took over) created, but I cannot find the elements that are mentioned within them. For example, one part of her advanced action is Show Text_Caption_1762, and this text caption is definitely not on the same slide. It might not even be in the project anymore. Who knows. But it would be nice is there was a search box, and I could type in "text_caption_1762", and it could tell me on what slide this was located, if it is still in the project somewhere.

Just talked to Apple about bluetooth connecting iPhone to iMac, blocked by
Apple and AT&T have blocked the possibility of connecting our iPhones to Our iMacs or any other Mac, because I guess there are things we would be able to do with them that would cut into their company merchandise. I don't know what they are because I don't think like that but The Apple tech support guy said something about iTunes merchandise being shared. So that *****.
You can connect an iPhone to a Mac via Bluetooth for Internet Tethering, but not for file transfers.
It's nothing to do with AT&T as the same restriction is in place throughout the rest of the world where AT&T isn't used.
Apple have never stated why the iPhone does not have Bluetooth File Transfer capability, but my guess is that it is to prevent easy sharing of copyrighted music and videos. Apple's sells this content for the music and movie companies and no doubt has to put restrictions in place to prevent easy copying. -
Can I pair iPhone to iMac to utilise Bluetooth function?
Hi everyone,
I currently own one of the first iMacs built in 2006 that were originally built for the education sector. This model doesn't have a Bluetooth card so obviously I can't use any wireless peripherals with it.
But my question is whether I can use my iPhone 4 as a substitute. Is there any way to pair the iPhone with my iMac and use it as a Bluetooth access point?
I'm planning on getting a Magic Trackpad for it and I don't really want to buy an adaptor if I can somehow do this.
Thanks in advance for all the help!The iMac must have Bluetooth too in order to pair with another Bluetooth device. So the answer is no, if your iMac doesn't have Bluetooth you cannot any Bluetooth wireless devices to it. You may however use your Iphone as an access point for wi-fi if you do not have Wi-Fi access, you will need to check with your carrier to see how this is done and what the additional costs would be.

Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????
Requirements for iPhone 5:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

It's always a good idea to check the requirements before purchasing.
The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way. Hmmm....
I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to. -
.Im trying to download the new itunes so i can use my iphone 5 , however , the new itunes requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later and i cant seem to install that onto my imac even after searching for the new update (my imac is currently on 10.5.8.
You have already seen that you cannot load the new iTunes into your 10.5.8, so as Neil says, you need Snow Leopard (current cost £14). And you'll probably need to update the disc you buy via the combo update, though that is free.
As far as the new iTunes is concerned, there's been a certain amount of grumbling so you may want to study the forums before you update. The main problem has been with album artwork which does not transfer easily. -

Missing TCP/IP settings for iPhone tethering (Bluetooth and USB)
Is it just me or Apple has completely disabled the TCP/IP settings for BT and USB connections for iPhone tethering (and possibly any other mobile devices)?
I can now only set the IP addresses and DNS server. No Proxies or WINS settings tabs.
I have also noticed that if you setup a USB tethering connection in Leopard and upgrade to Snow Leopard, the settings are still available, but NOT if you make a clean install of Snow Leopard and create a new iPhone USB tethering connection.
I always use a SOCKS5 when I'm using my tethering connection for security and better/faster connection with my manual proxy server setup. I find the new "options" in SL very limited, not only for my usage.

Message was edited by: DominikBI got this to work again (in fact, I'm tethered right now
Here are the steps I followed:
1) Upgraded to iTunes 9
2) Upgraded iPhone to OS 3.1
3) Removed device from Bluetooth Devices list on my MBP
4) Removed Bluetooth PAN from Network preferences
5) Restarted iPhone and MBP
6) Set-up iPhone as a Bluetooth Device on MBP
7) Enabled tethering on iPhone
8) Connected to iPhone network via the Bluetooth icon on my MBP menu bar
9) Verified that the blue "Internet Tethering" bar was on the iPhone
10) Manually added Bluetooth PAN to my MBP network preferences (connect show as yellow, "IP cannot be assigned" message)
11) Opened the Advanced pane and clicked the "Renew DHCP Lease" button
12) IP was assigned!
I'm not sure if the first two steps contributed to the solution or not, but these are the steps that worked for me.
Good luck to you all...
