IPad Won't Pair by Bluetooth on MacBook Pro/iTunes

All of a sudden my iPad won't pair with my MacBook Pro via bluetooth in iTunes. The message says it's connected, but the iPad isn't showing up under Devices in iTunes (it was yesterday and has been since I purchased it a year ago). I have tried restarting both the iPad and laptop, but it still doesn't work. Suggestions? Thanks.

I'm assuming you mean WiFi and not bluetooth.
Do you see this on your ipad screen?
You may just have to connect via usb to initialize again.

  • Macbook air won't pair to bluetooth

    My macbook air won't pair with bluetooth capable devices.  It'll show that my iPhone 5 is paired but for error reasons won't connect.  It used to be able to connect to bluetooth no problem...but after a harddrive crash on a new macbook air, it hasn't worked since.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You seem to want to argue.  I KNOW there is no limit to the number of devices...the POINT is that if it was paired with another computer, it NEEDS to be deleted from that computer.
    Incidentally, I assumed you wanted help.  If you wish to decide you already have the answer, I will not waste any more of my time.

  • IPhone6 won't pair with BlueTooth on MBPro

    IPhone6, iOS 8.1.1 won't pair with BlueTooth on MBPro nor can I use it as Blue Tooth "hands free" device in my car. Blue Tooth is enabled on the phone and on the MBPro.  I try to "connect to network" on the iPhone, using BT preferences on the MBPro, but get the message "can't connect" . On the MBPro, have gone to Sys. Pref., Network, can see the phone but again get the same message when I try to connect.
    On the phone under the green button (which enables) the BlueTooth, I see the word "other devices" and a spinning beach ball as the phone tries to find additional devices but no joy.
    Have Googled the problem, am reading similar issues - people seem to think it was the new iOS 8.0 and 8.1.1 was supposed to be a fix but it isn't.  Any thoughts out there would be much appreciated.

    Great - finally got our iPhones6 "discoverable" on our car. Whew!!!  Thank you so much.
    But, still can't pair our iPHone with my MBPro.  Follwed directions on your link but no joy....<sigh>
    The MBPro does NOT find the iPhone device. Don't know why......
    However, the biggest problem is solved, hopefully.....that being the car/phone connection.
    Appreciate the assistance.
    thx

  • Unable to bluetooth pair logitech boombox and macbook pro

    I have a logitech boombox and am trying to pair it to a MacBook Pro using bluetooth.  Normally, I turn on the boombox and then press the bluetooth button and hold it down until the blue light flashes quickly.  This, apparently, puts it in pairing mode.  I see the device in the bluetooth preference pane.  When I click the pair button, it seems to try and then it says "Connecting..." and then after about 15 seconds the error comes up "Couldn't connect to device".  Any ideas?  This used to work in the past but does not work now.  I'm running Mac OS X Yosemite.

    Notes sync is turned on right?
    Can you view your iPhone notes online at iCloud.com?
    Sign out/sign in to iCloud on your Mac.

  • I had an old macbook so icloud was set up only with my iphone and ipad. Now I have a new macbook pro but can't synchronise icloud with it. It ask me to create a new account.

    Hi,
    I had an old macbook, too old to put it on icloud. So when I created my icloud account, I did it with my iphone and my ipad. Now I bought a new macbook pro.I wanted to synchronise it to my icloud account but it tell me that this account is with someone and that I have to create a new one. Seems like it does not recognised my account.
    What should I do?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

    Your iPad is going to show "Connect to iTunes" screen until you either set it up successfully or restore it. If you've already set your iPad up in the past, "Connect to iTunes" typically indicates the iPad is in Recovery Mode and you must restore it.

  • After recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

    fter recent update to my macbook pro itunes will not open, it just bounces when I click on it

    Means they are going to mess up your iPhoto Library pictures database  so it's unreadable by older versions of iPhoto on older OS X operating systems.
    You have the choice to right click on the iPhoto Lbrary and inside is a folder called Origianls, use the Finder to Duplicate this folder, then move the OriginalsCopy out of the iPhoto Library folder and save it elsewhere.
    I dont' think Apple will every intentionally touch the originals, however it's possible they could.

  • My Apple TV no longer sees my MacBook Pro / Itunes Library.

    My Apple TV no longer sees my MacBook Pro / Itunes Library.  Apple TV tells me to turn on Home Sharing on my computer, which I have.
    Also:
    1. All other ATV connections are working (Netflix, movie previews, etc.)
    2. I have all the latest updates for ATV and Itunes
    3. Home sharing is turned on for both ATV and MacBook Pro Itunes
    4. I am correctly logged in to my Itunes account on both ATV, and Itunes on the MacBook Pro
    5. Everything had been working perfectly for approximately one year until yesterday.
    I'm not sure what to try next.
    Thanks.

    Thanks.  I just closed Itunes, came back today to check it out and the pull down menu with "Computer" or "Apple TV" was inexplicably back again and everything now works.  I had tried restarting Itunes, the modem, and router before with no luck.  Anyway, it's magically working.
    Thanks.

  • Home sharing no longer shows up on my macbook pro iTunes.

    Home sharing no longer shows up on my macbook pro iTunes. Our main computer is a Dell desktop that is authorized for home sharing. My macbook has also turned on home sharing, but the home computer does not show up. How exactly does home sharing work? Must you be in the same area to be able to use this feature or connected to the same network?

    you will need both computer have itunes turned on and you will need a wifi for them to work.

  • Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5?

    Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks

    Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.

  • I plug my iphone 5s into my macbook pro, itunes says: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1723).

    Every time I plug my iPhone 5s (32 GB) into my macbook pro, iTunes says: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1723). And none of my recently bought songs or my ringtones will transfer to my iPhone. I have iOS 8.1.2. I have only had this iPhone for about a month and a half. A week ago when I plugged it in it would say something along the lines of " This iPhone cannot be synced because the Photo library is not set up. Please try again later." What does that even mean? And now it is saying that it can't sync because of an unknown error. Well, how do I fix this? I have not yet downloaded the Yosemite update because it got horrible reviews and everyone I've talked to said their computer has gotten extra slow because of it so I was wondering if I need to download Yosemite so my iPhone will sync. I have tried turning my computer on and off, quitting and reopening iTunes, restarting my iPhone, and nothing has worked. I would really like to be able to transfer my music and ringtones etc. onto my phone.
    Thanks you!

    You have told us you have iOS 8.1.2, and a non-current version of OS X   Do you also have an old iTunes?  Current is 12.0.1.  I'm quite certain iTunes 12 is required to sync with iOS 8.
    The current iPhoto version is 9.6.  You are probably behind there as well, and that likely caused the first "photo ..." error.  As you may know, iOS is changing its approach to managing photos in iOS 8, so I would imagine it would be important to be current with this application.
