Is it possible that AirDrop to Macbook from an iPhone 6+ only works when the Bluetooth pane is open?
Yeah - the title contains the main question :-)
I got files pushed from myiPhone 6+ with iOS 8.1.2 to OS X Yosemite with newest updates on an MacBook Pro 13" mid 2012. But the iPhone only found the mac when the bluetooth system settings page is open. The source app on the iPhone was WhatsApp.
...and I just saw that the handoff icon from Safari appears in my doc now (why not earlier)?
Sounds crazy to me. Is this known?
- Devices are not paired (they were paired once)
- are in the same WLAN (devices are allowed to connect to each other on my FritzBox 7270 v2)
- are near to each other
- AirDrop is enabled and set to everyone
- the iPhone was restored from my previous iPhone backup and got a settings reset to try to fix some problems in older iOS8 versions
- the MacBook is running since I bought it in September 2012.
Thanks for your answers.

There is no way i can answer that, there area a million ways one person can spy on another in this day and age.
However if you were to wipe the phone and set it up as new plus change all your associated Apple passwords to ones your ex can;t guess, then I can say he couldnt 't tracking you through the phone. Wiping and reinitializing it would be the same as getting a new one so I don;t think you need to go through that expense.
However assuming this post is real and you are experiencing the situation you describe you need to contact the authorities. There is no way anyone here can know the true seriousness of the situation and to be giving advice on this issue is wrong. We could be causing you to fell a false sense of safety. Because of that this will be my last post here.
So please do what I recommended to the phone and then seek out the proper help.
good luck

MacBook Pro will not charge, only works when plugged in.
My MacBook Pro says it is at 68% battery not charging but the source is coming from the power adapter. It hasnt gone down for the past day or so. Also it only works when it's plugged in and shuts down immediately when the charger is unplugged. I just bought a replacent cord and this started happening. Does anybody have a fix for this?

Airdrop between Macbook Pro and iPhone 5 not working
Hi, I'm trying to use Airdrop between my Macbook Pro 17" (early 2009) running OS Yosemite, and my iPhone 5 running IOS 8.0.2, but it is not working.
All the specs on both of my laptop and iPhone seem to be ok, as Apple says in the System Requirements.
I've verified that Airdrop works fine betwen my Macbook Pro and other Mac laptops, but not with my iPhone.
I've all tried, but it's impossible, it doesn't work, and it should work.
I attach a screenshot showing the specs of my Macbook Pro, as well as the System Requirements.
Please,any solution?
Thank you.From Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to ...
"In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model." -
The iPhone iOS 4 User Guide sees to indicate that the SYNCH function is all one way from computer to iPhone, unless it is for purchased items in iStore on the iPhone.
1. How can I delete some (not all) Albums and Music from my iPhone when the original computer that did the iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?
2. How can I transfer Albums and Music (not purchased from iStore on iPhone) from my iPhone to the new computer?
3. How can I delete some (not all) pictures in my iPhone "Photo Library" when the original computer that did the iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?
4. How can I transfer pictures in my iPhone "Photo Library" to the new computer?Hi wjosten,
thanks for the "TouchCopy" software link. I have downloaded a demo copy and it will resolve my transfer of music from iPhone to the new computer. I can then delete any unwanted music on the new computer, then re-synch the updated music to iPhone.
I am not sure about the photos. On my iPhone, there are two photo "albums" - one called "camera roll" and the other called "photo library." TouchCopy finds the pictures in the "camera roll" DCIM folder, and I can copy them to the new computer etc.
However, TouchCopy does not seem to find the "Photo Library" folder. Any clues? -
So, I have an iPhone4 iOS 4.3.2 restored from Apple Store iTunes. I also have an iPod Touch 4G iOS 4.3.2. These two devices can facetime other Apple products, but not each other.
So when I discovered this, I restored both at the Apple Store iTunes and they worked for the first time!! The Genius Bar guys told me to just set my iPod as New Device to my PC then manual sync it. I deleted all my iPod backup from this one since they are all from fresh restore.
I did as directed. iPod does not want to connect facetime to my iPhone. I tried uninstall and reinstall my iTunes to the newest version. Still not working after a full restore. My PC is XP Service Pack 2 with Japanese setting. I wonder if my PC iTunes has to do with anything or my iTunes account...This is the iPhone forum
That said... PhotoStream is a stream of photos. The contents of the PhotoStream are not part of the backup. PhotoStream will hold the last 30 days of photos on-line. After 30 days, the photos are deleted from the servers. If they have already been downloaded from the cloud and appear on a device, they will remain there. However... if the device is wiped, restored, etc. or PhotoStream on the device is turned off then back on, ONLY the photos still resident in the cloud will download.
If the photos were over 30 days old, they are no longer in the cloud. If you didn't have them backed up elsewhere, they are gone. -
My trackpad only works when the battery of my macbook is less of 30%
idk what is goiing on, i installed mavericks and my macbook stared to fail, i cant even see much of the aplications icons or folders :/ what should i do?
Swollen batteries sometimes cause the trackpad to malfunction.
Your appointment at the genius Bar at an Apple Store is FREE, in warranty or out, and you are under no obligation to have them do any work for a fee.
These guys put their hands on these machines all day every day, and they are good at Power problems and Physical problems. -
So I tried to upgrade to Mavericks today and it failed (same error as in this post which seemed to be a common problem). It wouldn't let me repair the disk, and after trying all sorts I rebooted my computer in recovery mode - it wouldn't let me reinstall Lion because the hard drive was apparently locked and I could see no way around this. So I decided to restore from a Time Machine backup on an external hard drive and that worked okay, except my MacBook now only works when the external hard drive is connected. If I remove the external hard drive, I'm back to square one as it still won't let me reinstall Lion as the HD is locked!
I have no idea what's going on. HELP!The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed. -

Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?
Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?
iTunes does not backup any contact information. Contact information is sync'd with your contacts program on your computer. On a Mac, that would be the Contacts program, which iTunes will sync the content with between your iPhone and the computer. On a Windows PC, people often use outlook, and their contacts are sync'd with its contacts.
You can also sync contacts with iCloud.
Do you still have the previous iPhones? If so, just sync them with whatever contacts program you use on your computer, then sync those to the new iPhone. -
lost my application dvd that came with macbook pro, early 2011. any alternatives to get the applications in that??
I'm not sure how this is an iTunes issue, but anyway, other than buying the apps from the Mac App Store (note that iDVD and iWeb are not available via the App Store), the only alternative is to call Apple support and give them the serial number of your Mac. They can usually sell you a new disk set for a reasonable fee.

Is it possible to retreive deleted messages from your Iphone
Hi,.
anybody can tell me, if it is possible to retreive deleted messages from your iphone handsetMacbook354 wrote:
Yeah, unless you want to deal with the pain of trying to get you messages to your computer, you will have to take a screenshot (by taping the home and lock button at the same time).
If you want to print a screenshot, it will be in the photos app to print ( click the share button and click print). If you so not have a AirPrint printer, there are third-party apps for computers like fingerprint (look it up) that can make a fake AirPrint printer.
I want to add something more.
In most cases, you would need to use a paid third party tool to export and then print your iPhone text messages on your computer. If you have a low amount of messages you want to print you can also take prints creens of each message, then transfer the photos to your computer and print from there. This and more methods of printing iPhone text messages here: How to Print Text Messages from iPhone? -
I would like to run a stock analysis program called Toolkit 6 on my Macbook Pro, but it only works on the Windows platform. Is there software that allows me to run Windows applications on the Mac?
Yes it's MS Windows! You will need a license of MS Windows (preferable Windows 7) and from there you can decide on the strategy for running Windows on your iMac. You can use Boot Camp (you already have this) or you use virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion. For your situation I'd recommend virtualization software. However for only one program I'd do some due diligence to see if there is a OS X version. You can start with the App store or simply use Google to search.
Kappy has provided a good article on running Windows on a Mac and the various options. Here is the link:

Just purchased a office jet 6500A Plus so that I can print from my iPhone and iPad. I can print form my iPhone but my iPad 2 tells me there is no air printer available. Why does one device recognize the air printer but the other device does not?
I have the 6500A without plus and it is with a LAN cable connected with my Router.
First make sure you have the latest printer firmware installed.
Next restart the printer and the Router.

It sounds like you are using an application to import. You can do it manually.
Start > Computer (on the right) > scroll to the bottom and you will see your iPhone under Portable Devices > Open it and you will see a Drive, open that and there will be a DCIM folder. That is where your photos will be (There may be other folders each holding photos).
