Iphone 6 + Macbook 2013 Bluetooth not linking up

I have them on the same network, they're both wireless.
I have tried to pair them but it fails every time, it pairs successfully then disconnects immediately after being paired and it will not connect again unless I forget device but it goes through the same loop as above and never stays connected to each other.
After it disconnects I have tried double clicking my iPhone 6 listing in my Macbook Bluetooth settings and the following message pops up: Network is Disabled. Make sure network access is enabled'.
In my iPhone 6 Bluetooth settings it shows two listings of my Macbook Pro (only one of those can I forget the other is always there without an option to forget it).
When I click on the paired listing or the non paired option I get the following message: Connection Unsuccessful Make sure "Macbook Pro" Is turned on and in range.
Airplay works fine.
I tried resetting network settings, reboot my modem, router, clearest all my settings in my phone & nothing gets these two to work together correctly.
During this message I did get them to connect but it's never permanent. It works for a few moments then disconnects and I have to try over and over in my phone to connect just to get them to work for a few seconds more.

Just noticed as well, after about 10 minutes, the volume jumps back down again! There is no change I have made in the audio settings on either the phone or speaker and the volume bar on either doesn't move when this happens.

  • Bluetooth on iphone says macbook pro is not supported

    I had the same problem with my Iphone 4 but thought 5 would be different.  I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and I have an Iphone 5.    I try to get bluetooth to connect the two and the window pops up on my Iphone 5 (as it did with the 4) saying  "Connection Unsuccessful.  Don's MacBook Pro is not supported."  Any ideas?

    iPhones have very limited support for bluetooth connection with a computer. Other than tethering (sharing the iPhones internet connection or hotspot) there are no supported uses -- and that is only possible if your cellular plan supports it. Following is a link to support iOS bluethooth profiles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

  • How do I resynchronize my iPhone and MacBook Pro bluetooth connection?

    I accidentally had my iPhone "forget" my MacBook Pro bluetooth connection, and I need it to reappear to resynchronize. My iPhone shows up as discoverable on my MacBook Pro, but it is not connected. When I have my bluetooth on on my iPhone 4S, the MBP doesn't appear in the list of my bluetooth devices.

    You can sync using iTunes  >   iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes  (via USB)
    Or wirelessly using iCloud >  Apple - iCloud - All your content on all your devices.

  • MacBook Pro - Bluetooth Not There?

    So, I have a Macbook Pro laptop that is a Mid-2012 standard model (not a retina display one). I just got a Apple Magic Mouse for my birthday recently and it requires Bluetooth technology to connect to my computer. However whenever I hope up my System Preferences, I don't have the Bluetooth option menu anymore. However the Bluetooth icon still shows up on my top screen bar but just says "Bluetooth Not Available".
    I honestly don't know how long my Macbook Pro has been going without Bluetooth on it, but I know that it had Bluetooth connectivity with it when I got it. I've Googled some problem ideas and people are saying that it might be because of the Yosemite upgrade. I've already tried resetting the SMC and doing the PRAM options to no avail. So I fear that I might have to drive to the Apple store to actually get it checked in and looked at to get fixed.
    If anyone on here is an Apple certified computer user, I would love to hear what solutions that you can come up with. Thank you!

    See if this helps http://osxdaily.com/2014/02/17/fix-bluetooth-not-available-error-mac/

  • Macbook Pro Bluetooth Not Working..

    Hello,
    I tried sending a picture file from an old samsung phone first through bluetooth and it paired with the device but would never allow me to send it through. I then tried it with my Xperia X10 and i wasn't able to send anything through bluetooth on this either.
    It says on my Macbook Pro that it is paired but when i try connecting to send the file it won't allow it for some reason...?
    if someone could help i would appreciate it a lot.
    Thank you,
    Thomas.

    Yes, I'm having this problem and its so frustrating. Bluetooth can't find any devices. I've tried everything. All the support recommendations, "fix-it", services settings, bla bla bla, etc. etc. etc. Nothing has worked.
    It started after installing a bigger drive (750GB) into my MBP. Restoring windows 7 from my backup did not work because it reset the Windows drive back to its original size - why can't MS get anything right???!!!
    So I had to reinstall Windows 7 from scratch. At first it found my bluetooth mouse but could not connect with it properly - i.e. no response to the mouse after adding it to bluetooth devices.
    I followed a suggestion to set the bluetooth service to start automatically and from then on, absolutely nothing has worked!!! No matter what I do, uninstall, install all bluetooth services, drivers, etc. etc., as well as trying Broadcom utility. Its so frustrating because it once worked. What is with windows that bluetooth should completely shut down all functionality like this??? (It still works fine booting into OS X.)

  • Contacts sync with iPhone, iPad & MacBook Pro but not calendar won't

    OK, so on my iPhone and iPad I have software V 6.1.3, my MacBook Pro 10.8.3. I can get contacts to sync with all 3 but the calendar nothing wants to sync.

    OK, I made a change to calendar on MacBook Pro and it syncd with iPad & the iPhone. I deleted it on the iPad and it syncd with the MacBook but not the phone. So apparently the problem is between the iPhone & the iPad.

  • Transfer photos from iPhone to Macbook - as files (not iPhoto)?

    Hi -
    I haven't backed up iPhone in awhile, and will be using a "new" Mac to sync.
    Really do not wish to hose the photos (or contact info) by making a mistake.
    Is there a way to xfer photos from iPhone to Mac hard drive without using iPhoto?
    Also, any tips or links re avoiding any data loss when xfering from iphone to hd - welcome.
    Thanks so much, in advance!

    I dont like iphoto so the easiest way to do it is using image capture, just plug in your iphone launch image capture from your applications folder and import all images or just selected images into any folder you want.
    Moreover,you can follow this page about how to transfer photo/pictures from iPhone to Mac, which give an easy guide to figure out this problem.
    Have a good luck!

  • Transferring photos from iphone to Macbook via WIFI (not photostream)?

    Hi,
    I enabled my iPhone for wireless transfer, and I see it in iTunes as soon as I am in my homeWIFI.
    I don't use iCloud.
    Now, how can I transfer the pictures I made on my phone wirelessly on my Macbook? I don't find the solution, as the iPhone doesn't show up in iPhoto?
    Do I still have to connect with a cable in order to do that?! then the whole WIFI syncing is kinda useless...
    Cheers

    You need iCloud enabled and iPhoto 9.2, it's called Photo Stream, to do what you want.

  • Iphone and MacBook Pro will not open App store

    I am assuming that this must be a wifi thing. For a while now I was only able to use my iphone with "guest" login from my home network for reasons I do not know... Anyway, both my iphone and my Mac cannot connect to the app store.
    I went to the router website/support page and it states everything is working correctly.
    Wondering if I did something somehow to have my devices not detect my router/modem?
    (And... why only the app store? They both connect to the internet fine.)
    Thank you in advance!

    Which OSX & version.  There are several.

  • Help with my iPhone 5s connecting to bluetooth on my Macbook Pro

    I've tried so many times connecting my iPhone and Macbook via bluetooth but it never works! My computer acknowledges that my phone is there but every time I try to connect, it shows a message that reads, "Network is unavailable - make sure network access is enabled." I've looked up suggestions on how to solve my problem but none of them have been able to help. I'm on a college campus so can't restart my router and I only have an ethernet cord to help haha.
