iPhone 4 will not connect to macbook air via bluetooth

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

Can I connect my MacBook Air wirelessly to my Panasonic Viera HDTV

I would like to connect my MacBook Air to my Panasonic Viera HDTV wirelessly, so that we can view family photos, videos etc on the large flat screen. Is it possible and, if so, how do I go about it?

I believe you would need an Apple TV:

FWIW, you are not running iOS (any version) on a Mac computer, it would be Mac OS 10.x.x (which is helpful for anyone trying to help you).

Time capsule wireless router can not connect both Macbook and iPad

Currently my new time capsule can only connect my macbook pro wirelessly or by ethernet. My iPad or PC can not been connected to it. I guess the setting for the router is something wrong, but I do not know how to fix it. The settings indicate that there is no DNS address, and the router is off (bridged). I tried to change the router setting, but does not succeed. Sincerely ask for help.

Sorry but I need you to clarify.. router is off.. what router are you talking about??
If the clients do not have DNS, have you tried just supplying the standard google dns ie... 8.8.8.8 (very lucky number for Chinese) or 8.8.4.4
http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/
You can usually set dns manually whilst still using DHCP for IP address.
But better to start again.. reset the TC..
Give it a simple name .. no spaces.. all alphanumeric.. the default name is NOT windows networking valid.
eg I name my TC.. TC1
Wireless name.. same rules.. I use TC24 and TC5 (I use separate names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz as I do not want computers auto swapping bands) I also set channels manually.. again because I do not want them auto swapping channels.
Wireless passwords.. same rules.. you need to make it a bit longer of course.. but pure alphanumeric no spaces.
In the disk area, assuming you want disk access.. then put in the WORKGROUP name.. usually WORKGROUP.. in caps btw.
If you do all that it will usually also work with iPad.

IPhone 4 Bluetooth won't connect to MacBook Air 11"

As the title says, I have tried pairing my MacBook Air 11" to my iPhone 4. The MacBook sees the iPhone right away, produces a passcode, but that's where it ends.
The iPhone's Bluetooth is ON, as it connects to my car every day.
After doing searches here for a definitive answer to this problem, I can't seem to find one.
Any suggestions why my iPhone 4 can't connect via Bluetooth to my MBA?
Thanks.

Here's a good reason that's not for internet tethering...Using the Keynote Remote app via bluetooth!! My iphone won't connect to my MacBook just to do that.
Good reason or not, it's not a supported feature of iOS.
Why are we digging up a one plus year old thread? Obviously you've figured out search... so you should be able to read the results that display to see the available and supported bluetooth profiles for iOS.

How can i connect my macbook air with lion os to a windows 7 pc

Hi I wondered if anyone could help me as i am new to apple pc's
I have recently got a macbook air and i am trying to have file sharing with both pc's unfortunately whatever i try does no allow both pc's to see each other. If i try the connect to server method using smb then log in screen just shakes and wont accept a valid login offer. The windows pc also does not see the mac in the network which i guess does not help. On several forums there is a suggestion that this used to work on earlier versions of apple os
Any help would be most appreciated Thankyou

On the OS X side it's very simple, System Preferences - Sharing - checkmark File Sharing box and then choose the Users and Shared Folders. On the MS Windows side you will need to turn that on too, however I don't use Windows so I can't help. However I was able to find this simple 15 step (saracasm intended) page:

IPod Touch 4th Gen will not connect to Macbook Air

Okay, so I've been trying to connect my iPod to my Macbook Air for a few days now to get some very important videos to transfer into iPhoto so I can get them sent to people that have been requesting them of me by their deadlines. I've also wanted to do some general charging of my device.
Here's the problem; when I connect the USB cord (Original one that I received with my iPod from Apple) to the only USB port the Macbook Air has, it refuses to connect, charge and/or synch with my computer. Up until about three days ago, it would connect and charge just fine with the computer, but now it is not.
When I plug the usb into my wall charger however, it recognizes and charges the device just fine.
I've had both my Air and iPod inspected recently at the Genius Bar, and there is NOTHING wrong with either device, so that is NOT the cause of the issue.
I want to know how to fix this, and whether or not buying a new cord would help, as I need the files on it to get to my computer ASAP. (Emailing the videos from the iPod is NOT an option as they're longer than one minute, and it will only let me email one minute clips.)

I brought all three yeah.
And the guy that assisted me hooked it to their computers and it worked fine, and then he hooked it to mine and wiggled it around for a couple seconds and it worked for him but now I can't get it to do anything at all.
And as I said he checked the hardware and everything of both my Air and the iPod and said there was nothing wrong with it.
I'll try buying a new cord when I get paid and see if that fixes anything.

How can I connect my MacBook Air 11" to my old TV?

I have these things at home. Are these cabels and connectors enoght for the connection, how can I "DIYs" method connect my Mac and my TV?

... a mini display port to VGA connector...
... a VGA to RCA cable like this on this picture: http://webshop.garmix.hu/images/vga_3rca_cable.jpg

http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/355585976/6ft_S_Video_to_RC..
On my TV I have a 3 RCA input like on the SCART, a video RCA input and two, RCA sound input.
On the back of the TV I have two SCART I/O port.
Can I make a connection from these tools or maybe I need more stuff or another tool to do that connection?
Thanks for your help!

None of those options are ideal.
What model MacBook Air do you have? If it has a Thunderbolt output you can use this:
Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
Then you will need to convert the HDMI video and audio signals to composite video and stereo audio with something like this:
HDMI® to Composite Video Converter
If your MacBook is an earlier model with only a Mini DisplayPort (no audio) then you need to connect its audio output directly to your TV.

How can I connect my MacBook Air to my Brother printer?

I have a Brother wireless printer and I'm trying to figure out how I can connect it to my MacBook Air. It came with 2 CDs, but since my laptop doesn't have a CD-rom, I obviously can't set it up that way. And the set up booklets don't say anything about this...can anyone help?

Any printer software that comes on CDs will either be available from the printer manufacturer's web site or from Apple. In fact, it is often more current than whatever versions are on the CDs or DVDs.
Also, in most cases, printers with wifi capabilities have to initially be setup by using a USB connection.

Camera not connected in macbook air ios 10.6.8

Camera not connected appeared in my macbook air when I tried to access camera booth yesterday. This happened in late 2011. I took the macbook to an apple service centre and was told that it was a hardware problem. I delayed sending it for repair and in the meantime in february 2012 there was a camera update which I installed and that solved the problem. Lately I had installed several updates and now I am faced with the similar problem of "camera not connected" when I tried to access photobooth and all the other applications that require a camera. I need help as my extended waranty is about to expire in a few days time. I have not much confidence in the macs as I find that the camera goes missing after updates? Please help! Thank you

You need to take it into an Apple store to be fixed. You should of done that back when it first happened. I suggest you do it before your Applecare warranty runs out.
