Iphone 6 will not connect to iMac via Bluetooth

Hi there,
Have iMac and Macbook Air, all n Yosemite. Purchased new iPhone 6 Plus and want to use message centre on iMac. It was working excellent with iPhone 5. Will not work at all with iPhone 6. I tried manually to connect iPhone to iMac but no avail.
I found other people complaining about no connection in car but those are both Apple devices, latest and greatest and can't connect to each other? Phone is 8.1.3 so latest. Both Macs are 10.10.2

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

IPhone 6 will not connect to MacBookPro via AirDrop

iPhone 6 will not connect to MBP Retina early 2013 via AirDrop. All iOS (8.3) and OSX (10.10.2) software is up to date. The phone used to be able to connect. Now nothing. The MBP sees the iPhone. I have exhausted all of the remedies found online. Checked to see if everything is switched on that needs to be switched on. No help.
Seems to me after going online and searching the problem I find I am NOT ALONE with this bug. Are you listening Apple??? Fix it. Now. Screw the Watch and fix the bugs.

Original iPhone & iPhone 3G will not connect to IMac G5 after iTunes update

I downloaded iTunes 9 update and when I went to sych iPhones, they will not connect to the iMac. Never had this problem before.
Any input or ideas? Thank you.

Here's some ideas: iPhone: Not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
You might have an old iTunes Plug in that's causing a problem. Open iTunes in "safe mode" (without external plug-ins) by holding Command + Option (while opening iTunes). If you find you need to remove a plug in, they are in ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug ins.
You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service.

IPhone 6 will not connect to my vehicle bluetooth

My new iPhone 6 (64GB) will not connect to my Land Rover bluetooth. iPhone6 will play music but will not perform any phone functions like it's supposed to when connected. Apple forums say it is an iPhone 6 or IOS 8 problem. My current iOS is 8.1.2 and up to date. My iPhone 5 had no issues but used iOS 7. The phone recognizes and finds the Land Rover bluetooth signal but the vehicle does not locate the phone bluetooth signal in order to pair. I have made sure my bluetooth is on and functioning. I have restarted the phone and the car. I have reset network settings and restarted the phone and the car like previous forums recommend with no success.

Does your iPhone 6 connect to any other Bluetooth device (speakers, headset, photo kiosks)?
What's the current firmware version of the Bluetooth in the vehicle?

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my phone. I have updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro with iOS 10.8.2. Anyone have any suggestions? It was connecting with no problems prior to updating my two computers.

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.

Try the suggestions here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
If nothing helped, repair permissions.
Disconnect the iPhone.
On your Mac open Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Then select: Repair Disk Permissions
This process can take a few minutes.
When it's done, restart your Mac and connect the iPhone.
If that doesn't help, reset the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM

Iphone 5 will not connect

My new iphone 5 will not connect to my new iMac 27" on bluetooth. The mac sees my phone but that is it. Also my wireless keyboard and mouse are very flaky. This was happening before and after 10.8.2 suplemental update. What else is there to do? Iwold like to transfer some photos I took.
Thanks

Hi tdavey51, welcome to the Apple Support Community.
Bluetooth problems can be related to the batteries you are using on your Keyboard & Mouse, The Apple Wireless Keyboard & Magic Mouse require batteries that give 1.5V constant, some cheaper batteries are not powerful enough or don't provide a constant voltage which causes the bluetooth connection to drop. I'd recommend changing the batteries to see if this clears the issue.
Regarding your iPhone 5, try powering it off and back on again (hold the sleep/wake button until you see slide to power off).
The easiest way to transfer photo's from your iPhone to the computer is either through iTunes into iPhoto if your iPhone is set up to sync to that machine, just connect it using the USB charge cable to the iMac - see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12116 for more.
Alternatively you can e-mail the photo's to yourself or share them using Photo Stream and iCloud - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 will give you more info on this.

My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

Iphone 5 will not connect to home wifi or Bluetooth after iOS 7.1.1 update! Using unnecessary data please help!

My iphone 5 will not connect to my home wifi or Bluetooth after I completed the iOS 7.1.1 update. Before the update I was able to connect to my home network with no issues. Now it rarely finds my home network (unless I'm right in front of the router and even still the signal is weak) and when it does find my home wifi network it frequently disconnects from it. I followed previous suggestions to turn off router or forget network settings and re-establish them but it continues to happen.
This also happening with my Bluetooth connection. My iphone 5 would automatically connect to my home phone Bluetooth prior to the iOS 7.1.1 update. But now my device no longer connects, which means my home phone no longer rings when my cell phone is ringing.
I probably would be less worries if I did not have to monitor my data usage with Verizon. However, I do have a limited amount of data to use and I recently reached the max and had to pay extra money due to my wifi being unable to connect. Can anyone please help me with fixing this?

If you have Applecare take it back to the shop and demand a replacement. If not you're stuffed. It's a bug that they've put in the software to get you to buy another iphone. You can maybe warm it up with an hairdryer near the speaker and then turn it off and put it in the freezer for 10 mins then retstart it and wi-fi is there. It could also be a problem with the chip, if you do the freezer thing it comes back.
Apple knows its a problem as there are millions of people out there that it is happening to, in my opinion get shut and get a Samsung!!!! That's what i've done and love my new Samsung S3 Mini miles better than the iphone!!!!
Go on youtube atnd look how many millions of people this has happened to.
Someone needs to put this in the media so they will actually do something the robbing bleeders!!!!!
Also whatever you put on these discussions will get it wiped if Apple don't like what you put!!!!

My iphone 4 will not connect to my wifi

My iphone 4 will not connect to my wifi during set up after cleaning it out and erasing all info for a fresh start

Hi Friend,
Can your iPad sends iMessages, Facetime calls or something through the internet?
If yes, try to reset your network settings, double check the Restrictions settings, check the Safari settings...
If not, you have some problem with iinternet connection. Look at airplane mode is off, if your iPad recognizes WiFi connection or not, check the Restrictions settings, if other device also faces the same problem with internet connection
If still not working:
1. Go to the Settings App.
2. Tap on Wi-Fi
3. Your chosen network will be ticked. Tap on its white arrow over a blue circle button to its right
4. Tap on DNS
5. Replace the current information with 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
6. Try visiting a website with Safari to see if this works.
Hope something here helps

My iPhone 4 will not connect to my home wi-fi network.

My iPhone 4 will not connect to my home wi-fi network, and it doesn't take me to the password as it used to do. Comcast is my internet provider.

If you can see your home WiFi network inside Settings>WiFi, then press the blue arrow to the right of it, and on the next sreen press "Forget this network".
Now go back so that you see your network again, then press on it and you should be prompted for the password.
