IPhone 5S 8.0.2 doesn't connect via BT with MacBook Pro Retina

Hi,
I'm trying to connect my iPhone with my MBP Retina because I want to try Hand-off and Continuity. I connect them via BT, they exchange the code but after 2-3 sec both the devices lose the connection. It seems like they are unable to recognize each other.
Moreover, on my iPhone there is a list with old devices they I had connected. I want to delete one of them because I'm not using it anymore, but when I tap on the , the option "disconnect this device" is grey and not blue as usual.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

I solved both problems.
1) in order to use Handoff, you don't need to connect directly the devices. Just open the BT and connect them on the same Wifi
2) after the update to iOS 8.1 every useless things are gone.

  • IPhone 6 Plus 64GB (iOS 8.1 or 8.1.1) springboard crashes repeatedly when making phone calls via Continuity on Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014 using Yosemite 10.10.1

    I USED TO be able to make phone calls using continuity on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) with Yosemite (10.10) via my iPhone 6 Plus on iOS 8.1 without any problems.  Once I updated Yosemite to 10.10.1, my iPhone's springboard would continually crash where it brings up the Apple logo and quickly restarts repeatedly until I end the call.  Just so that you know, I am able to stay on the call while this is occurring the whole time. 
    I need to reiterate, this all started happening as soon as I updated Yosemite to 10.10.1 while still on iOS 8.1.  I know this because I made a few phone calls (loving the feature), updated Yosemite to 10.10.1, then made a few phone calls afterwards, and this started happening. 
    When iOS 8.1.1 came out, I eagerly updated hoping this issue would go away, and it did not.  I'm hoping Apple notices this post.  If anyone else has this problem, please contact Apple and chime in this post as well.  Thank you Apple for incorporating continuity calling. I love this feature, but need to use it without my phone's springboard constantly crashing.

    I have this issue as well. I am using an iPhone 6 plus, iPad Air 2, 5K iMac, and MacBook Pro. When I make a continuity calls from any device, the springboard crashes. This only happens with outgoing calls, incoming calls are functioning normal. I am currently working with multiple Apple Senior Advisors, and they are working directly with iOS a engineers. I have an active open case and will update this thread when a resolution is found.
    Just a tip for everyone with this issue, restoring your devices and setting them up as new WILL NOT correct this issue. Save yourself the hassle. I did this with my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook and the issue still persists.

  • Does Apple TV support wireless connection to the new MacBook Pro retina in an extended display mode?

    Does Apple TV support wireless connection to the MacBook Pro retina display in an extended display mode? What is the output resolution and is sound also transmitted across?

    SB1983, by extended display do you mean mirror?  All MBP since early 2011 support it if they are running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.  The resolution will depend on your Apple TV (2 Gen is 720 and 3rd Gen 1080) and wifi, it will lose some quality but I find it minimal.  It does also mirror the sound.

  • Connecting 4k monitor to Macbook Pro retina 2012 mid

    I tried to connect to Macbook Pro retina 2012 mid 15 inch 2.7GHZ model. Initially I connected using HDMI to 3840x2160 at 30 hz. I casually changed the resolution to 1080 p from scaled option. Now I no more get the option of scaling to 4k. I am unsure what is the issue over it. When I log into my windows. I am able to log in with my original 4k resolution in 30 HZ. Any guidance would be really great.
    2) I read a few forums regarding 4k with 60hz external monitor connection for macbook pro retina 2012 mid. But I couldn't get a clear solution whether it is possible or not. Would be great if someone can show lights on this too.

    1- does Apple ever do exchanges for newly released products?  I bought my MacBook in jan they came out with new in mar.
    If you purchased the product from Apple, not a third party, you have 14 days from the date of purchase to return it for a refund or exchange.  You are well past that.
    2- if and when Apple comes out with a 4k or 5k thunderbolt display, will it be backwards compatible with my MacBook sich that I can't get the resolutions and 60mhz?
    I do not have an answer to that and the Terms of Use for these forums discourages from speculating what Apple may or may not do in the future.  Having said that, from a practical business standpoint, backwards compatibility would be a sensible approach.  It has been done so in many areas in the past.

  • Logiix Bluepiston not connecting via bluetooth to Macbook Pro

    Hello
    I recently purchased a macbook pro retina in january 2015. I also have a magic mouse which connects fine via bluetooth to the mac. I also have a blue piston speaker which just doesnt seem to connect. it doesnt appear at all under bluetooth preferences when its on, but it will appear in the bluetooth settings on my phone, so my phone is able to pick it up by the mac isnt.
    any help would be appreciated. So far ive looked at similar posts which either used macs with older OS's and thus different options or the speakers had a seperate bluetooh button to press. (the bluepiston automatically turns on bluetooth when you turn it on)
    thank you for the help

  • Can connect to Snow with MacBook Pro but not G4

    I have used my G4 with the airport for a long time. I recently got a MacBook Pro and it connects in fine to the ABS. Both worked connecting to the ABS for a few months. Suddenly, the G4 quit recognizing the ABS. Nothing I do allows it to find it. Could there have been a software update that caused this? There was a thunder storm, but no recognizable issues on the G4, everything seems to be fine...except it doesn't see the Airport.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    try unplugging your broadband modem and ABS for a short time and plug them back in.

  • Time Capsule cannot connect via PPPoe when MacBook Pro can.

    I used to connect to the internet using my TC as a router, connecting via PPPoE using a DSL modem.
    While my ISP had a problem with their network, the TC stop connecting to the PPPoE host and the amber light kept blinking. Because this was taking too long, I decided to investigate this issue.
    I tried connecting my laptop directly to the modem, the restored my original configuration.
    My MacBook Pro connected via ethernet to the DSL modem, is able to connect to the internet using a PPPoE connection. When I try the same via the TC, it just doesn't connect!
    What should I do to troubleshoot this?
    Is it possible that it is related to my ISP? Even though the laptop manages to connect via PPPoE.
    Even the DSL modem when switched to router functionality is able to connect via PPPoE.
    Only the TC seems to fail. What could be the problem?
    (I have ruled out incorrect passwords and faulty wiring...)

    There is some extra info I need.
    What modem.. make and model..?? What kind of broadband?
    How is the Buffalo setup? Is it router or bridged and if router is it using pppoe?
    There is nothing wrong with keeping the buffalo .. it is a very reasonable router.. and just use the TC in bridge plugged into it..
    I have to confess I really dislike the airport utility v6 in Mountain Lion.. it is a kiddie toy version of the real v5 utility. Half your problems relate to the near to useless nature of the utility.
    Can you install 5.6 and then we can get somewhere.
    Here is howto..
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • Facetime Does Not Connect - Incoming/Outgoing - With MacBook Pro

    Hi All,
    I am having a problem trying to get Facetime to work on my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.7.5, Facetime ver 1.1.1).
    Basically, I can initialise FT/"see myself", I can make a call, the call will pop-up on the host device and when "accept" is clicked the call will stall with a "connecting" pop-up where the call never actually connects. The same thing happens from the 2nd device making a call to the MacBook, albeit when it finally stalls the error message reads "user XXX is unable to make Facetime calls" OR "connction was lost".
    I have gone through all the forums, read all the official Apple Discussion Troubleshooting pages and have tried everything ... clock updates, manual DNS addresses, firewall rules etc. but nothing works.
    Most interestingly though, I know that it is a problem with the MacBook Pro itself - and not with wifi signal or Apple ID etc. - because I can make and receive calls on the alternate device (iPad) on the same connection ... without problem.
    Can someone please help? Note: Please do not post a standard "troubleshooting" page from Apple Support in your reply ... these steps have been followed and I know that it is something else about the MacBook which is the actual problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    It is because of lack of drivers. The Boot Camp drivers supplied by Apple are no better than generic drivers.
    Find the make of your computer's graphics card and download drivers for Windows XP. Install them, reboot and the option for dual monitors should be available.

  • Jaybird headphones and Macbook Pro Retina bluetooth connectivity issues

    I recently purchased the Jaybird Bluebuds X Premium headphones and for awhile it would connect to my new Macbook Pro Retina 15'' via bluetooth, but now it doesn't anymore. The headphones connect just fine to my phone (iPhone 4S), and other Macbook Pros (not retina), but they do not connect to other Macbook Pro Retinas. I was wondering if this was a connectivity issue with Macbook Pro Retinas and if so how can I get around it to connect the headphones again?
    Thanks

    Hey there LongHorn16,
    It sounds like your Bluetooth headphones aren't working with this one computer, but there is no issue with other devices that you have. I would start with these 2 steps from the following article:
    Restart your computer
    Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.
    Reset your Bluetooth device
    Try turning your device off and then on again. If that doesn't resolve the issue, see if you can reset your device—refer to the documentation that came with your device for instructions.
    Bluetooth Quick Assist
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1153
    If it still doesn't work, then I would next use this article to remove the device:
    Bluetooth: How to Delete a Paired Device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27116
    Then restart your computer and pair it again:
    OS X Lion: Set up a Bluetooth device

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
