  • I can't connect my iphone5 to my Macbook Air via Bluetooth?

    Can someone please tell me why I can't connect my iphone5 to my Macbook Air via Bluetooth?
    Is this just the most ridiculous oversight or is there some underlying reason why this doesn't connect and function properly? How amazing would it be if I could just click on a contact number and dial from my phone like I could in 2008 via my Lenovo and my Blackberry. This blows my mind that two devices that scream compatibility are far from it. From my bluetooth options it see my device, then sends a code, I confirm and then it briefly connects only to disconnect almost immediately. #fail #appleoversight #failfailfail
    Fix it or I'm going back to PC ****

    If it is early 2011 or newer running OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion then  you can mirror.
    A third party app called airparrot can help other models.

    I have been experiencing some networking problems
    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    I have the latest Time Capsule ("TC"), an old Airport Extreme Base Station ("AEBS") bought in 2007 and 2 Airport Expresses, one bought in 3 months ago ("AE-Alpha") and the other bought back in 2007 ("AE-Beta"). All of them have been updated with the latest firmware.
    Based on those dates, the AirPort Extreme is probably flat (as opposed to dome-shaped), making it 802.11n-capable. The Newer AirPort Express is probably an 802.11n-capable model A1264, while the older one is probably a model A1084 or A1088.
    I use {the TC's} DHCP function ... to avoid unauthorized use.
    This a discussion for another thread, but that's not what DHCP is for.
    The wireless setting for it is to participate as WDS Main, but after reading various posts, it seems WDS is a bad idea
    With that older AirPort Express you're stuck with WDS unless you decide to replace it with a newer model.
    The AEBS is currently setup as being a WDS Relay at the moment
    Why a relay? That's only needed if there's another base station "beyond" it that is configured to depend on it.
    Since the AEBS is connected to the TC via Ethernet, you should probably configure it as a "roaming network":
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2273124
    {The AE-Alpha} connects fine as WDS remote at the moment
    I don't have any experience with mixed WDS and non-WDS networks, but since it's 802.11n-capable, you may be able to configure it to "extend" the network of the TC rather than as WDS. Look for a setting on the TC to "Allow this network to be extended".
    Physical location:
    AEBS in one end, TC and AE-Alpha in the middle while AE-Beta on the other end.
    A device such as "AE-Beta" that's supposed to extend a network shouldn't be "at the end" but should be half way between the central base station and the clients that need an extended network.

  • IPod nano does not connect with wireless earphone via bluetooth transmitters.

    My iPod nano(6th) can not connect with wireless earphone via bluetooth transmitter.
    I want to know which is wrong iPod nano or bluetooth transmitter...Now I tried with i10s because I thought previous one (motolora) might be wrong.

    Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade.  I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)
    Are others having the same problems?

    Try this. Worked for me.
    - turn off your router
    - turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
    - turn off all iDevices
    - do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
    - turn on your router first
    - ran the network set up wizard
    - give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
       Something which you don't have used before.
    - turn on your Mac's and add your printer
    - turn on your iDevices at least.
    Should work after these steps.
    It worked for me including all iDevices.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen will not connect to Macbook Air

    Okay, so I've been trying to connect my iPod to my Macbook Air for a few days now to get some very important videos to transfer into iPhoto so I can get them sent to people that have been requesting them of me by their deadlines. I've also wanted to do some general charging of my device.
    Here's the problem; when I connect the USB cord (Original one that I received with my iPod from Apple) to the only USB port the Macbook Air has, it refuses to connect, charge and/or synch with my computer. Up until about three days ago, it would connect and charge just fine with the computer, but now it is not.
    When I plug the usb into my wall charger however, it recognizes and charges the device just fine.
    I've had both my Air and iPod inspected recently at the Genius Bar, and there is NOTHING wrong with either device, so that is NOT the cause of the issue.
    I want to know how to fix this, and whether or not buying a new cord would help, as I need the files on it to get to my computer ASAP. (Emailing the videos from the iPod is NOT an option as they're longer than one minute, and it will only let me email one minute clips.)

    I brought all three yeah.
    And the guy that assisted me hooked it to their computers and it worked fine, and then he hooked it to mine and wiggled it around for a couple seconds and it worked for him but now I can't get it to do anything at all.
    And as I said he checked the hardware and everything of both my Air and the iPod and said there was nothing wrong with it.
    I'll try buying a new cord when I get paid and see if that fixes anything.

  • Iphone 4 not connecting with macbook air using USB

    I am not able to connect my iPhone 4 with my Macbook Air using USB cord. Macbook Air is not able to detect the device.

    I had this problem when connecting my iphone 4 to my retina MacBook Pro. The phone was running ios 6 but I updated it to ios 7 and since then it works fine with no problems. Try updating it to the latest software and see does that help!

  • Why is First Generation iPad not connecting to MacBook Air?

    We received our daughter's first generation iPad. Whenever I connect it to the new MacBook Air the iPad will keep beeping, and give a message that "this iPhone is not longer connected to itunes" The beeping continues.
    It connects OK to my Macbook Pro, but I don't want to sync it with the MacBook Pro.
    I re-installed iTunes on the MacBook Air and then plugged in the iPad and got the message that the USB port was being disconnected because there was too much power draw on that port. The only USB connection is the iPad.
    Any ideas on what this could be? I'm using a newer cable, the iPad was 45% charged. Is there some limitation of the power draw on the MacBook Air? Is this older iPad drawing more power than the MacBook Air is capable of?

    - Macbook Air is plugged into external power
    - I cleaned the connections on the iPad and on the cable
    - Nothing changed, still get the USB power message and/or the message from iTunes that the device is no longer connected.

  • Connecting a PS Vita to Macbook Air via bluetooth for use as a game controller

    I found out that PS3 controllers are natively supported in OSX via bluetooth. So since PS Vita can connect to PS3 and PS4, I figured that it would work too. I turned on the bluetooth on the Macbook Air and the Vita and plugged in the Vita via USB. The Macbook shows up on the Vita and when chosen, a code pops up on the Macbook that matches the numbers on the Vita and there is a pair button in OSX, so I tried to pair it but it fails for some reason and an error message pops up on the Vita that says no profile found, and the Macbook goes to 'PS Vita not connected'. I looked and found that they both support the same profiles, advanced remote audio/video etc. And I looked for a Vita controller profile for OSX but I couldn't find one. And I tried the Bluetooth Setup Assistant in OSX(mavericks) but it doesn't find anything. Any ideas how to get this working? Otherwise I guess I'll just go buy a PS3 controller. But I think that this should be able to work somehow without much trouble.

    To troubleshoot this issues, start here and follow this path through the available options:
    • choose I've already installed the Missing Sync Software <next>
    • choose Connection Issue: Choose this option if the sync button is grayed out <next>
    • choose Bluetooth Connection <next>
    • choose Hangs on establishing connection <next>
    That instruction set should guide you through resolving the issue.

  • Iphone connecting to MacBook Pro via bluetooth

    I have paired my iPhone to my MacBook Pro and selected bluetooth sharing. Although paired, for some reason, they will not connect. Any Ideas

    Apple sells a bluetooth app to connect your iphone to use it as a clicker for Keynote.
    No they don't.
    Maybe you should actually read the product description? You know, where it clearly tells you Keynote Remote works over Wi-Fi.
    If apple makes me pay for the ** thing, I think it should work.
    They didn't make you pay for it. You chose to. And it does work perfectly. Unfortunately, you didn't bother to read the description of it before buying it, did you?
