IPod does not pair with macbook

I'm trying to pair my ipod to my macbook. The ipod is discoverable and shows up on my macbook under bluetooth preferences. I hit the pair button and I get a message giving a passkey code that I acknowlege on my ipad. The ipad connects for a few seconds then disconnects. When I try to reconnect I get a message "Connection Failed make sure macbook is turned on and in range". What do I need to do to keep them paired?
ipad 1.0.3
macbook Maverick 10.9.2

You can't. The iPad (and iPod touch and iPhone) do not have the BT profiles to pair with a computer. I think there are app available to allow some useful pairing of an iOS device to a Mac computer.

HT201412 my new iPhone 5c does not pair with my Mac Pro via blue tooth while Mac Pro do find iPhone 5c and display paired

my new iphone 5c does not pair with Macpro while Macpro display pairing via blue tooth and also my new iphon 5c does search other smart phones while Macpro does so

The iPhone supports only a limited number of profiles and will only pair with a computer for internet sharing (tethering, hotspot if your cellular carrier plan supports that). http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

There is nothing to solve. Pairin with another phone is not a supported BlueTooth protocol. The exception being pairing for some multi-player games.

Ipod touch does not pair with Oticon streamer

After upgrading the firmware of my Oticon EPOQ streamer to v1.4, the ipod touch did pair with the streamer the 1st night, but read the paired device as Streamer 1.3. The next day, when trying the ipod, it did read that version anymore in bluetooth search. It now reads Streamer 1.4.
However, when setting the streamer to pairing mode, the password panel came up on ipod (so it did start pairing) and I entered the password and the pair button... now I keep getting the Connection Unsuccessful error message, Make sure 'Streamer 1.4' is turned on and in range. Not only that the Streamer 1.4 device still shows in bluetooth menu as Not Connected (not as Not Paired).
It seems to be a combined issue between Oticon and Apple, now how can I fix it?
Thanks,
T

Some docks are not compatible with iOS 5. Ceeck with the manufacturer. Other users have post problems with iOS 5 and iHome docks too.

My iPod does not sync with my iTunes.

All of a sudden when I try to sync my iPod classic with my MacBook Air the iPod doesn't sync. I get the do not disconnect message, but the iPod doesn't mount as a device in iTunes. The iPod icon does show up on the desktop. I have tried all the suggested solutions on the Apple support page (reset, reload iTunes, etc.). Didn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have an even older iPod that started doing the same thing occasionally. It may be that you have some bad sectors on your iPod hard drive. If you can get the iPod to mount in iTunes, you should do a complete restore. If it will not mount in iTunes you should try this:
Unmount the iPod from desktop.
Close iTunes.
Reconnect iPod. If iTunes does not open, great, go to next step. If iTunes opens, but iPod does not mount in iTunes, close iTunes.
Open disk utility. Click on iPod volume, then choose erase tab.
Choose Mac Os extended.
Ignore the warning that iPod won't work. You are basically reinitializing and reformating the hard drive.
After drive is erased/reformated, unmount the iPod.
Open iTunes
Reconnect the iPod. It should now ask you if you want to install iTunes, etc, etc. and you should be able to restore all your tunes.

IMac (Mountain Lion) does not pair with Apple Remote

Hi,
my iMac (2009, Mountain Lion) does pair with my remote. Otherwise the remote (or remotes, I tried two) are working fine with the iMac, it just wont pair.
I need it to pair as I have an iMac and MPB and each having its own remote (each computer should react only to its remote, not the other computer remote)
I googled this extensively, here is what I did so far:
- obviously, trying the normail "pair remote" procedure as the support page says
- checking that infrared remote pairing is enabled and no other remote is currenly paired
- restarting Mac OS
- removing and reinsterting battery in remote
- making sure I am an Admin
- disabling the remote function in Plex and killing all Plex (and EyeTV and similar) processes via Activity Monitor (thought they might somehow limite the OS control over the remote)
- tried the same with another remote (does not pair as well)
This is very annoying.
Can anyone help out?
Much appreciated

Hi den,
Does the remote remember which computer it is paired to? I though only the computer remebers that.
In any case, currently there is not remote paired to any computer (both computers have clean new Mountain Lion installations). And I cannot pair any remote to any of my machines. In between, I tried with the laptop as well, and it is not pairing as well. I also tried an (old, still working) third remote... nothing is happening.
Some apps seem to take control of the remote (e.g. pressing menu start Plex on my systems). Could that be the issue? Is there a Terminal command to give Mac OS back full control over the remote?
Or could it be something else? 'Is there an app for that' a la ForcePair.app?
Thank you
p.s. this is the page that I was refering to ealier, not working for me

My iPhone 6 plus does not pair with 2 of my bluetooth

There is so much on the forum, and I am not seeing the answer since I am working. I just purchased an expense bluetooth to workout with and it will not pair with my iPhone 6 plus. Is there a solution yet?

What is an "expense bluetooth". Does it have a brand name and model number? is it compatible with the iPhone? Have you put it in pairing mode and paired it with the iPhone? Has it ever been paired with another device?

Nokia E6 does not pair with Windows 8 Pro via blue...

I installed the official version of Windows 8 Pro and now my E6 will not pair with my PC anymore. When I was using Windows 7 Home Premium there was no issues after the update, Nokia Suite sync everytime. Any suggestions?

Hi rancebobo,
Thank you for your post.
It seems it is a known issue from Microsoft, see here. I suggest you get in touch with them so they can provide you with the relevant drivers.
You can also contact Microsoft directly here.

My macbook air bluetooth does not pair with a bluetooth speakers!

Recently I bought this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MPT631O?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_de tailpage_o01_s00 speakers it pairs with my Iphone 5 perfectly, but when I try to connected to my macbook air, it does not work for me it shows the following window, which cannot get connected to the speakers, thanks in advance for any help

While it appears that the Mac is discoverable, since it is not seeing the speakers, you may need to check the documentation that came with the speakers to see if they are in discovery/pairing mode, and how to get them into that mode. Then try and pair them.
