IPhone to Macbook Bluetooth connects then after 2 seconds disconnects.

Well the subject line pretty much explains it all...
My macbook is able to detect my iPhone but the iPhone just keeps searching indefinitely, if I configure a new device I get the "passkey" screen on the iPhone, I click connect and it does for 2 seconds then disconnects. It adds my Macbook to the list of bluetooth devices but it never "sees" it...
I can see it on my System Preferences Bluetooth window, that the light goes from red-disconnected to green-connected when I tap on my Macbook in the list but after about 1 second the light goes red again...
Any ideas?
ps: my iPhone and Macbook are about close enough.

Guys,
Take a look in the Iphone console messages when I'm trying to connect my Iphone with my Mac Book Pro by Bluetooth.
I got the console messages using the Iphone configuration Utility 2.0 available in the Apple site.

Bluetooth connection issues after update

Is anyone experiencing bluetooth connection issues after upgrading to iOS 8.1.3? I upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 and now it won't connect to my car bluetooth and my bluetooth speaker will sound like it has static from time to time.

Hi, joshzik.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are experiencing issues with various Bluetooth devices and your iPhone. Sometimes pairing the devices again can resolve the issue. However, here are a couple articles that have some helpful troubleshooting steps regarding Bluetooth connectivity and an iOS device.

Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

On starting up, my macbook pro shuts down after 25 seconds of booting up.

Hi there. On starting up, my macbook pro shuts down after 25 seconds of booting up. The time bar comes on for a while before it simply goes blank and switches off without any notification. Battery iappears charged. Could it be a virus? Help please!! O

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

White screen during booting up then after few seconds turned off

Hi All, Please help me out. I uninstall itunes in my MBP using one application called AppZapper. I then wanted to restart the MBP but the computer unable to restart to the OS. It just shows a white screen with an Apple logo and progressing icon, then after few seconds it shut down by itself. I am so sad. Please help me. Thanks

II'm having the same problem, except I've not installed anything new.
AS soon soon as I power on my MacBook Pro ( running OS Maverick ) it boots up for two minutes and powers itself off suddenly. All I see is the white screen with the Apple logo and a bar underneath indicating the upload progress.

How to stop iphone 4s from putting a space after the second digit, when entering a text number from the keypad

How do I stop the iphone 4s from putting a space after the second digit, when entering a text number from the keypad. Entering a text number on the key pad like 61998 comes out on the screen as 61 998 and the sms fails to go.

The space (or lack thereof) should have no effect on whether or not the SMS goes through. The spacing is intended to make it easier for the human eye to comprehend the number. I'd start by resetting the network settings in General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

Using an iPhone without a wireless service plan

Anyone had an issue on iphone 4s where bluetooth connects one day and then the next will not discover anything, but then a little while later it works again? I have 2 audio devices and an apple keyboard that I have this issue with. Effects ALL.

I have an iphone 4s. A while ago it started having issues with bluetooth. All of the sudden, an audio headset I am using quits working with my iphone bluetooth. I check and my iphone doesn't see any of my bluetooth devices. I have an apple keyboard, a headset, and a speaker. Nothing shows up on my iphone but they all connect perfectly to my ipad. Then a day or so later it works again. The are all suddenly there. I just installed iOS7 and I'm still having the same problem. What is UP? Anyone have a clue what is going on?

I have this problem too. I have an iPhone 4, and this wasn't a problem when I bought the phone back in December. I think it came a month or so later and I suspect with a standard upgrade of something like itunes, or iphone software... but I can't pinpoint it to any specific update as it took me a while to notice it. For me, it does this with my work calendar which is run through Microsoft Outlook. But it's the exact same thing - and it means my calendar isn't reliable anymore.
I've made sure the time-zone settings are correct, I've updated all software, and gone through all possible settings for both my i-phone and Outlook. Nothing fixes the problem, even our tech guy at work didn't know what to do. I know it's not just my phone as the exact same thing has happened with my boss's iPhone which is an iPhone 3G, and it frustrates him to no end.
I'm really hoping someone at apple can tell us what's going on, especially since it never used to do this and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it. If someone thinks they know what itunes update this was due to, let me know - I'll see if I can go back to that older version.

Connecting iphone to macbook bluetooth

can anyone let me no where i can find a step by step guide on how to connect my iphone to my macbook bluetooth please please please

what i mean is i simply wont to connect my iphone to my macbook via bluetooth i was
able to do this with my motorola and transfer songs files ect what i am asking is can
this be done without an internet or tethered connection but a simple bluetooth
connection my mac recognises the phone and my phone recognises the mac but
it says in my bluetooth manager not connected only paired
You only do this through iTunes with a USB connection. Not sure why anyone would want to do this. bluetooth is terribly slow, a tiny fraction of the speed of USB 2

Iphone 3GS with bluetooth connection with Audi car kit

I connected my iphone 3GS to my Audi car system through bluetooth connection. The Audi system recognizes the iphone and his address phone and all works well.
The issue comes when I disconnect the iphone from the car kit. After, even someone calls me, the call ringtone rings only two times and after switches off during the incoming call. This issue is random, sometimes the alarm rings well, sometimes not by working in the way described above. Someone has the same issue and knows how solve it? Is an issue linked to hw or only sw?
thanks

Hi.,
Can I check with you if you have this problem..
I assume you have paired the iPhone 3GS to the Audi carkit.
First, play something on the iPod.
Then go to the Bluetooth settings page where you can see all the paired devices.
after that, make a connection to the carkit.
Is there any stuttering or audio breaking you hear from the carkit?
I have this problem with my iTech BluebandR headset and iSkin Cerulean RX. I only found this problem with iPhone 3GS but it worked fine with 3G.

Bluetooth connection lost after wakeup ( CSR - bc4 )

hi
after wakeup, my aluminium keyboard cannot connect anymore to my macbook pro. when i go to systempreferences/bluetooth i can see the bluetooth's host name is CSR - bc4 (???). when i turn bluetooth off and on again the hostname does set correctly to the name of my macbook-pro. after the restart of the bluetooth-service my keyboard works like a charm.
any suggestions?
greetings from switzerland

I am having the same problem.
If I use the new aluminium wireless keyboard (with my existing wireless mighty mouse) neither the mouse nor the keyboard reconnect to the computer on waking from sleep - it does announce that I have lost the bluetooth connection but tapping/clicking/waiting doesn't facilitate reconnection.
If I send the iMac to sleep again (using the power button - the only way I have to get any signal to my machine at this point - I haven't tried Morse Code yet) it does then recognise the peripherals on waking the second time.
I have also noticed that if I turn the mouse and keyboard off causing the "connection lost" warning and then put the machine to sleep, everything does reconnect on waking (switching them back on of course).
I have it set not to wake from sleep using bluetooth devices, so that I can tidy my mouse/keyboard away without disturbing the mac. Using my old white wireless keyboard (but the same Mighty Mouse) it works beautifully again as it always did in Tiger with only a minimal delay on waking from sleep before reconnecting automatically.
The aluminium keyboard is beautiful. But we need a fix - anyone? Is it a hardware problem? A set of dud keyboards? Has anyone found that a different aluminium wireless keyboard does work with the same setup? Or that their troublemaking keyboard does work on other machines?

Having bluetooth connection problem after using Yosemite for a week

After installing and using Yosemite for a week, I experienced bluetooth connection problems with my magic mouse and headphone, my model is macbook pro retina early 2013, hope to fix this soon

Hello there Oranger84,
If I understand correctly you are having some sort of Bluetooth issue between your computer and Magic Mouse and Headphones after installing Yosemite. Depending on the particular symptoms you are seeing, I would recommend the following article to help you get that resolved:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Bluetooth connectivity problems after iOS 5 install

Like may others who upgraded to ios 5 and found it was full of problems I to had issue with my handsfree in the car.
I have a Clarion unit and it worked fine although I could not download contacts and it would not list tracks playing from the phone however it did receive,make calls and do what handsfree is meant to.
I downloaded ios5 yesterday and like thousands of other people I found that although the Clarion unit connects with the iphone as soon as a call comes in or you try to make an outgoing call it would lose the bluetooth connection and revert to the call being continued on the iphone.
Having tried many different things to fix it I eventually pressed the on/off button together with the large button with the square on it until the Apple icon appears on the screen and the phone switches off and reboots. When you press the buttons first it will ask if you want to switch off, keep pressing the buttons until the icon appears and the phone switches off properly and reboots.
I went out to try it and so far so good it seems to work, hopefully this will resolve the issues.
Another problem I had was my iphone seemed to thinl I had headphones plugged into it and although you could make a call and the receiving end could hear you, you couldnt hear them.
A visit to the Apple store 35 miles away and 3 technicians, several reboots, a complete wipe and reinstall and taking the phone away to "have a proper look" and nothing!
The best they could do is give me a new iphone at nearly £200. I declined.
Later that evening my son was playing with the phone and took a picture and guess what? It no longer thought that headphones were connected!
It would seem Apple has slighlty lost its way in making easy to use performance systems. When issues arise in updates it has produced, Apple completely ignores them and lets down thousands of loyal customers resulting in their integrity being severely damaged.
Its not all about flooding the market with Apple products, its about selling to new and retaining existing customers so they reinvest again. If they continue to ignore problems and what customers are complaining about then how long does it take until people grow tired of Apple technology that doesnt work and buy elsewhere?

I have noticed the same thing! Any suggestions??? I also notice that when I uncheck the boxes for not including music videos and voice memos the size of the music folder increases, and it does it so much so that I exceed the space on my phone.
