IPhone 5 won't connect to MacBook Pro

Not sure if this is the right place for this but I tried Apple's support forums and couldn't get anything useful
When I try to connect my iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1) to my MacBook Pro (mid-2012, OS X Yosemite 10.10) it will flash as connected and then disconnect immediately, and I am unable to establish a connection again.
I've tried rebooting and updating all software. The same cord connects my iPhone to my work MacBook Air with no problem, and the USB ports on my Pro work fine for other things.
Does anyone have any ideas or know how I can fix this? All my music is on my Pro and I can't get it onto my phone.

  • IPhone 4s bluetooth not connecting to macbook pro

    My iPhone 4s bluetooth is not connecting to macbook pro.  My 3Gs has always worked perfectly fine.  Is there a problem with the 4s hardware or iOS 5?  Anyone have any ideas?

    I'm trying to connect using Bluetooth to use my iPhone as a remote for keynote while on the go (no network to connect to.) maybe it can't be done with the new iPhones but it seems like we should be able to. Thanks for the snarky and super helpful answer though.

  • IPhone won't connect to Macbook Pro Hotspot!

    When I make my Macbook Pro into a hotspot my iPhone won't connect to the network. It'll detect, but won't connect. Running OS X 10.8.2 and  iOS 6.1 on an iPhone 5. Help!

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse won't connect with MacBook Pro in Bootcamp

    I recently swapped my Bootcamp-partitioned hard drive from an older Core Duo MacBook to a late-2007 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro.  I had no problem using the wireless mouse with the MacBook.  I'd click on the Windows desktop once it booted up and it worked flawlessly.
    But on the newer MacBook Pro it won't stay connected.  I have to pair it with the Windows Bluetooth control panel each time I log in.
    I'm not sure if this is connected to the issue or not, but I'm not able to use the trackpad and buttons on the MacBook Pro keyboard either.
    I've seached the discussions without any success.  Advice anyone?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well, by some stroke of dumb luck it finally connected. I slid the on/off switch open until the green light started to blink, when the mouse connected I opened it all the way and decided to work.

  • IPhone 4s Won't Connect to MacBook Air

    I have the iPhone 4s and it won't connect to my MacBook Air. I have reset my phone, cleared it, and restored it back to factory settings and still nothing. I plugged in my 2 iPods as well and they also won't connect. It's important that this will work soon because I am getting the iPhone 5 in a few days. Please someone help me. Thank You.

    Just to be sure we're on the same page..   You connect the iphone via USB cable to your mac's USB port, then invoke itunes on the mac.  In the left panel of itunes, under the "Devices" section, does the iphone not show up after a short while?
    What OSX version is on the mac?  What version of itunes (should be 11.1 in order to communicate with iOS 7)?

  • B110a won't connect to Macbook pro or IPAD

    I've got a B110a serial number CN0CN3V63605J8, running firmware CHL1FN1113AR FW patch 0.
    It's sat on a home wireless network with a DLINK router DSL-270R.
    I can print to it with all my 3 PCs using drivers dowloaded from the HP website. All 3 PCs are different makes.
    I am unable to print to it using either a MacBook Pro or IPAD1.  I've read the support forums and tried some of the fixes but to no avail.
    My Macbook is running LION, I downloaded the latest drivers on the 13th August from Apple.  My IPAD is running OS4.3.3.
    Neither Macbook nor IPAD "see' the printer.
    I read on the HP website that the b110a is capable of printing with Macs, but with a firmware update.  I can't do this from the b110a.  When I go to Set up>Preferences>Product Updates, I get the following error message "There was a problem connecting to the server, press retry to connect again of OK to exit"
    Any ideas.  I'm thinking it's either the need for a firmware update, or that the router is masking MAC, but I don't really understand this.
    Thanks
    This question was solved.

    Great work, thanks!
    Yes, I mean upgrade the firmware on the router.  This could be the source of all of your troubles.  You could even try to cycle power on your router to reboot it, then try again.  But, I would really try to check its firmware.
    To get into your router settings type 192.168.0.1 into a browser address window.  The login is 'admin' and there is no password.  See if you can find a way to update firmware from there.  If it is not obvious, go to the D-link support website and hunt around.

  • Macbook Pro Airport Won't Connect When Macbook Pro Bootcamp Will

    I have a Macbook Pro 2.16GHz Core Duo that has had problems with Airport connectivity since I got it. I can never get anyone to help me with it because it will never show the problem at the Apple Store.
    One place that I have to work at has been very, very frustrating.
    They have a number of access points called Wireless #1, Wireless #2, and so on. Every access point is a Linksys-Cisco WAP54GP. All of them are on channel 6. They are using a WEP 40-bit hex key with the same key on every AP. They don't understand the obvious flaws in their system, they will not change it nor help me...at all, so there's no point in suggesting things along that route.
    I know that their network and their key works, though, because if I reboot into Windows on the SAME machine it works fine and the connection is great. Mac OS, however, will not connect and will not tell me why. All it will say is "There was an error joining the network." I have read suggestions saying that you have to put a $ or "0x" in front of the key to signify that it is a hex key (which I don't have to use on other WEP hex key networks), but when I try to type that in, the password dialog will not allow the characters $ or "x" and it beeps at me.
    Does anyone have any help for me?

    It will connect to other networks with and without
    WEP. It will connect to other networks that use
    WPA.
    There are many networks, though, that give me the
    "There was an error joining the network.", and I
    don't know why.
    I cannot enter a $. As I stated previously, the Join
    Network dialog will not allow me to enter that
    character when it is set to WEP 40/128 bit hex.
    Also, as I have already said, I cannot change the
    network to WPA. I understand the benefits of WPA
    over WEP, but I am not the network administrator.
    They will NOT change their settings. I know the
    network works with Windows on my computer. What is
    it about Mac OS that is preventing this?
    Prior to the last Security Update, I believe 2007-02, broke access to 2wire Routers. It was very frustrating to me as well. The fault or problem, I believe, may lie in a firmware update to these routers. I performed one for my 2wire router and I am now able to connect.
    My theory...

  • IPhone 4s won't sync with macbook pro OS 10.7.5

    I'm Duane, and I'm frustrated.   My wife recently upgraded from iPhone 4s to 5s and gave me her 4s.   It used to sync ical very well until I purchased iCloud space.   I've deleted iCloud, but when I try to sync iPhone and ical (onMac Book Pro) I get this prompt: "The iPhone 'Duane…' could not me synced because this computers no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone."    Then I am directed to "choose Store > Authorize this computer."   Which I have done so at least four times, with no results.   Can you help me?

    Did you authorize your computer for all the Apple IDs used to purchase apps an other media on your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)?

  • Internet is either very slow or won't connect to MacBook Pro.

    There's no problem with the desktop Windows PC we have, though its connected directly to the router via cable. I've tried clearing the cache and cookies and etc. from Safari. I can get the wifi to connect if I go through the Network diagnostic, though it doesn't work. Help?

    Try:
    1: Create a new network location in System Preferences > Network  (edit locations > new)
    2: Make sure your time and date are current and correctly being updated. (match the PC's)

  • 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.

  • How do I connect my MacBook pro to the Internet through the 3G server on my iPhone?

    Does anyone know how to connect my MacBook pro to the Internet through the 3G server on my iPhone?

    There is a service called Personal Hotspot that uses your iPhone's connection to share with other devices. You will need to sign up for this service through your carrier. Good luck

  • I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDMI so I could watch videos from my computer on my TV.  My TV then shows my basic computer background but the videos won't play.  What am I doing wrong?

    I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDML.  The TV recognizes my computer; I see my basic computer screen on the TV. I tried to watch videos on my TV but got nothing. (tried via my facebook vidoes and Youtube.  What am I doing wrong?

    I've got a similar (but different!) problem: I have a MacBookPro3,1 running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I want to connect to my HD TV using a HDMI to DVI cable but the MBP cannot detect the TV display. What's the solution? Is this a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.8 ? Any ideas what I can do to make things work with the HDMI to DVI cable. (N.B.: I have separate audio cable running from the MBP to amplified speakers for the sound side of things. It’s the video that’s the problem!)
