IPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.4) connects to my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9) and immediately disconnects. Visited a Genius bar (Perth) and after they found their phones behaved the same way way they told me this was a feature of iOS 7.0.4 not a software problem. Comments!

Has anyone else had a similar problem or heard about this new feature (ie bluetooth not working between Apple devises)?

I have an iPhone4 with iOS 7.0.4 and a new MBPro with OSX 10.9.
They see each other in BT and when I click the Pair button on the MBP it presents the code and the iPhone says I should see that code, so i click the Pair button on the iPhone.
The MBP changes to "Not connected" and the iPhone pops up "Device is not supported". Really.
I also have a few BT devices that worked perfectly for years with a 4 year old MB and a 3 y.o. MBPro - mainly I frequently use a serial-BT device for work. With 10.9 it is discovered, and I have to try connecting and have it fail before it allows me to enter the code; it connects then disconnects. 10.8.5 had more control over the pairing process and now nothing; one step forward and two steps back - nice job Apple.

My HP ENVY 100 D410a is connection issues between MacBook Pro OSX 10.6

Both my Macbook Pro OSX 10.6 and my HP Envy 100 D410a is connected to my wireless nextwork. Everything was working fine until recently, my macbook does not connect, - keeps saying the printer is offline when it clearly is on and connected. I have tried to reinstall all printer software and drivers from CD and the HP site, it fails when the laptop tries to connect to the printer.
Any advice / help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Sure.. a reset will surely do it.. a removal of the offending name will also do it.
Can I delete all networks by resetting the router back to factory settings?
Sure can.
I also have this UPDATE "A newer version 5.6.1 of airport utility is available" it KEEPS opening when I open my Airport Utility APP, but when I click on it to UPDATE nothing happens, ever. Im already running 7.6.3
Bit of confusion here.
Latest version of the airport utility for snow leopard is indeed 5.6.1
Open the airport utility, about .. and check what version you are running.
The very latest airport utility is 6.3 and only can be installed on Lion or Mountain Lion computers.
The firmware latest version is 7.6.3
which makes it all a bit confusing.

Is there a cd drive that can be externally connected with my macbook pro unibody version approx. 2007? My cd drive is broke and want to upgrade to lion but need to update to snow leopard first.

Is there an external cd drive that can be connected to my macbook pro, unibody, approx 2007. My cd drive is broken and I want to install snow leopard which only comes on a cd.

Yes Any exrernal DVD drive that connecs by USP port will work. It does not have to be sold by or have the Apple name on it to work. I use an Asus, got it from newegg.com. $30US.

More DIsplay Problems on HPx2301 Monitor when connected to my MacBook Pro - OSX Snow Leopard

1) HP x2301 monitor
2) OSX 10.6.8 AND OSX 10,7
3) On-Screen Message "Monitor Going to Sleep"
I previously reported that the problems with my new monitor had been fixed with a change in DVI cable.
Unfortunately the fix lasted for one day. I powered off both the monitor and macbook, came back the next day and the monitor no longer detects the power book. Same is the case with an iMac and an old mac-mini. My external older Viewsonic (connected also via the same DVI cable) has no problems.
When the monitor is connected to the macbook, the macbook detects it and acts like it has dual screens - the System Preferences>Display app shows both monitors (and allows me to change resolution of the HP. Dispite this, the Monitor cannot detect a signal from the Mac.
Looks like a defective Monitor - will be contacting HP in the morning.
Also of note is that the included Documentation describes 6 control buttons on the base of the unit, including an Auto Adjust button for the user to " Press to activate the auto adjustment feature to optimize the screen image." Unfortunately, there are only 5 control buttons - there is no Auto Adjust button.
The documentation makes no mention of OSX, although it appears that drivers for the monitor have been included in the OSX distributions.

I'm back up - now using HP to mirror laptop screen. Got replacement DVI cable from HP, plugged it in an Monitor is working (again). So I have 3 seemingly identical cables - 2 supplied by HP, and one an older one I used with a Viewsonic DVI monitor.
1) The cable that shipped with the Monitor never worked,
2) The older cable worked for one day with the HP, then stopped working on the HP monitor, but worked with the older VIewsonic monitor,
3) The replacement cable from HP that is working currently.
I believe they are all DVI-i - pins appear to be identical on all three.
So I don't think its a settings or cable type issue. I suspect that the HP may have some circuitry that makes it very persnickity when it comes to signal detection - so perhaps there's some small variation is signal quality btween cables - not sure how to check that though.
We shall see if the cable 3 works for extended period.

My Bose SoundLink stopped connecting to my Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.2

Hi, I know this is probably to a other threads but nothing read seemed to help.
I have a Bose SoundLink and it worked just fine with my Macbook Pro for about the first 4 months. Around December it stopped connecting. I can see the device on my Mac, the Soundlink just want connect. I have no problems connecting with my iPhone.
So far I've deleted and re-paired the soundlink a couple times as well as messed with the bluetooth settings (but restored them). I don't think it is the bitrate problem others are having because it won't connect at all. Could it have something to do with the newest version of Mountain Lion?
Thanks in advance.

So... as per your suggestion I got a solution from the friendly folks at Bose. I did a system reset (as described below) and problem solved! Here is the email with a couple things to try that may be helpful to others:
Thank you for your inquiry.
If you are unable to pair your Bluetooth enabled device to the SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker, there are several issues that could be contributing to this.
First, be sure the source’s Bluetooth function is on. Many Bluetooth enabled devices have an option where the Bluetooth feature can be turned on or off. Be sure this option is set to on.
If this does not help, a system reset may restore the connection. To do this, press and hold the Mute button for ten seconds. The LED lights on the SoundLink will flash briefly. Press the Power button to turn the system back on.
If this does not help, and the SoundLink speaker has been previously paired to the Bluetooth enabled device, it should automatically reconnect when its Bluetooth function is turned on. If the SoundLink Speaker does not automatically reconnect, manually select the Bose system within the Bluetooth device list on the device (cell phone, computer, etc.).
If the Bluetooth enabled device has not been paired to the SoundLink, follow these steps to connect the two devices:
Put the SoundLink Mobile Speaker into discoverable mode. To do this, with the SoundLink speaker turned on, press and hold the Bluetooth button on the speaker for five seconds. The Bluetooth indicator will slowly fade on and off approximately once a second. The SoundLink speaker will remain in discoverable mode for twenty minutes, or until a Bluetooth connection is completed.
To pair a Bluetooth enabled computer, the computer (or attached Bluetooth dongle) must support the A2DP or Bluetooth Stereo Profile. Refer to the computer’s owners guide for more information. If the computer or dongle meets this specification, follow these steps:
1. Refer to the computer or dongle owners guide to determine how to set it into discoverable mode.
2. Wait for Bose SoundLink Mobile Speaker to appear as an available device, then select it.
3. Enter the numbers 0000 when your computer requests any of the following:
-          Passcode
-          Passkey
-          PIN code
4. Select ‘Yes” to confirm this connection, as needed (if your computer requires it). The computer should display Connecting” with the Bluetooth icon. When the connection is made, the Bluetooth icon on the SoundLink speaker will stop flashing.
5. If the audio output device on the computer does not default to the Bluetooth Adapter automatically, select the computer’s audio output device in your computer’s audio settings menu.
We also recommend that the software be updated to the latest version if this has not already been done. Please click on the following link to update the software to the current version:

Text/imessages sending between phones on the same plan when they aren't supposed to

Recently, the text/imessages between my mom, dad, and sisters phones have all been sending to eachother when there was no intention to. I do not know where this problem originated we have not strayed from our normal functions with the phones. Just tonight my sister texted me from her phone and it showed up under my father's phone number. This only happens between our four phones which are all on the same plan. None of us have received any messages from anyone else in eachother's phones. I can't find any support saying if it is an icloud problem or a problem through verizon. If anyone has experienced anything like this and found a way to fix it any advice would be greatly appreciated. It isn't a large inconvenience but it is very confusing for all of us.

This happens when multiple devices use the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On all but one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (so they are all using a different Apple ID for iMessage). Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
On all of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". Also uncheck any phone numbers listed that do not belong to the phone in question.

My LaCie Firewire 800 hard drive, connected to my Macbook Pro via Thunderbolt Cinema Display port, disconnects after sleep

I have a LaCie RAID Quadra hard drive (two disks in a case set to a redundant array) which for all intents and purporses appears as a normal hard drive to my mac.
When connected directly via FW800 to my Macbook Pro (2011, with thunderbolt port), it works perfectly.
For the sake of convenience, and since I am using it only at home as my Time Machine drive, I connected it to the FW800 port on my Thunderbolt Cinema Display. The display works perfectly in every way up until now.
When connected, the drive works great. However, when I put the machine to sleep, upon awakening it, I receive the "Disk improperly ejected" error immediately upon the screen coming up.
The drive is set to Auto mode which has always worked fine in the past; putting the drive to sleep when the computer is asleep, etc.
So, I only receive the disk ejected error when it's plugged into the Cinema Display; not when directly plugged into the MBP.
I have the 1.1 firmware update applied to the monitor.
Any ideas? I appreciate it.

My desktop has two FireWire ports. In the first one I had my webcam plugged in. In the second one, the External Hard Drive. I unplugged the camera and used the first port for my External HDrive and now it works! So it seems the problem is a hardware problem with the port.
I'd check to see if the problem returns when you plug the camera back into the second port, or if the drive works in the original port when the camera is not connected.
Edit: Maybe you unplugged the problem, when you unplugged the camera?

Where can I find this new version? Thank you
10.7.4 is the latest update of MacOS X Lion. Run Software Update in System Preferences.
Since you state to run 10.7.2, Software Update will have to use the combo updater to bring it up to 10.7.4. This will entail a large download that will take some time so have patience. I suggest the following steps:
Restart the Mac, press and hold Command-R to start up in Recovery Mode (More info: http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/ ).
If needed, select the desired language to move to the next screen (only if it is the first time in Recovery Mode).
Select Disk Utility in the bottom of the list, Continue...
Choose the hard disk drive device on the list ( xxx.xx GB APPLE HDD ...) by clicking on it.
Click on Repair Disk button, wait for it to finish.
Choose the Lion boot volume, Macintosh HD, by clicking on it.
Click the Repair Disk button, wait for it to finish. If any errors are found and the process does not end with a "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK." message, click on Repair Disk again.
Click on the Repair Disk Permissions button. This will take awhile to finish.
Quit Disk Utilities, choose Restart from the menu.
Now run Software Update in System Preferences, choose to apply all missing updates. This will take quite awhile, depending on how fast your Internet connection is. The Mac will need to be restarted when the updating is done.
Run Software Update again to have Safari updated to the latest version. This is necessary since Safari 5.1.7 needs OS X 10.7.4 to be running already.

Why can't I download apps I have to pay for on to my new iPad Mini. I have had an Apple id for my iPhone for years and have downloaded app to it, no problems. When I try to download apps to my new iPad Mini, it tells me my billing info has to be confirmed. After confirming with same info that is already there it tells me to contact support, no help up to this point.

Could the credit card be expired?
Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.

I just got my replacement phone from Warranty. The phone was on for just 2 hours and it crashed. I was told that motorola knows about this "possible" issue. I got a new sim, hard reset, If it can be done I did it. They are now sending me the same phone again. Number 3. I would hope this one doesn't crash but I rather have a different phone so I can enjoy using my account. The phone's most recent error was today. " Unfortunately, the process com.motorola.widget.circlewidget3d" has stopped. At least the error message works and it's polite. I told tech this and they could not answer my question or help me other then "let's do a hard reset" My warranty replacement is coming on Monday. Let's hope this one works. Anyone else havinbg the same problem. it says "such and such as stop working" on all sorts of stuff! Help! I want my iPhone Back!

I just did a google search on this issue. OMG, I got a ton of videos on this or similar issues. Each one says in some way to clear the cache, reset the data, etc. Why in the world would this continue to happen and they not do a fix that resloves this without having to lose or stop what your doing. This is a very long and constant issue it seems with Android phones as there must have been pages and pages of what I now call "Unfortunately" So I am going to pray that Verizon helps me out and gets me away from this issue and helps me go back to iPhone or try the Samsung.

There is only one speaker, what looks like another speaker is actually a microphone. All iPhones only have one speaker down by the dock connector.

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

Ah, sure it actually won't. I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support. They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug. It's a feature!!"
Personally, I think this is insane. While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection. There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network. The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place. At least mine won't.
