Issue connecting iPhone 5s with MacBook Pro

Hello everyone, any ideas on how to connect my iphone to my mac, both my devices are paired but i haven't been able to connect them, every time I try to connect my iphone to my mac I get this error "Network is unavailable - Male sure network access is enable", I have tried forgetting the devices and paired them again and resetting the network settings, and even changing my iPhone's name. Of course I'm trying to connect them to take advantage of handoff  and instant hotspot.
iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1)
MacBook Pro (Mid 2014, OS X 10.10)

  • Recently when I connect Iphone 4s and MacBook Pro my computer stopped see new photos on Dropbox.

    Recently when I connect Iphone 4s and MacBook Pro my computer stopped see new photos on Dropbox.  I have changed iCloud password on Mac and Iphone, nothing.  Deleted some pictures of iPhone, didn't help.  Any ideas what I did to mess this up?

    I cannot deleted.  Computer keep telling that my dropbox is open.  Don't see how to shot it off.  Do I need to delete all pictures from dropbox first and delete application after.  Will I loose all these pictures? Usually, I copy all photos to iphoto app.

  • Can't pair iPhone 5s with Macbook Pro via Bluetooth

    I have an iPhone 5s and Macbook Pro with retina display (running on iOS 8.0.2 and Yosemite respectively). For some reason, my iPhone can never see my MBPr but the MBPr can see the iPhone. Pressing the "Pair" button on in the Bluetooth setting panel in OS X will trigger the pairing confirmation to show up on my iPhone. After confirming the pair request, the devices remain connected for no more than 2 seconds. Then they just disconnect. (The status is "Not connected" underneath my iPhone on the Devices list in OS X)
    This has been bugging me for a while, even before I upgraded to iOS 8 and Yosemite. I was hoping the upgrade will solve the issue but apparently not. My iPad  on the other hand has no problem in connecting and remaining connected to my MBPr. That's just baffling.
    Just some context: the reason why I wanted to connect my MBPr and my iPhone via Bluetooth is because I want to use my my iPhone as the hotspot. Yes, I can use the USB cable, but can't blame me for trying the wireless route (And no, connecting via wifi doesn't  work)
    Any help is appreciated!

  • Cannot share iPhone contact with macbook pro? HELP

    I am the proud owner of a iphone 5 and a macbook pro. I need help concerning the contact transfer, i'd like to have my iphone contact automatically transferd to my macbook.
    Thanks community

    I just discovered that I am having this problem too!
    I figured that there was a problem when trying to pair instead if being asked to input the code on my iPhone, I was simply asked to 'Confirm that the PIN code XXXXX is being shown on the MacBook Pro'
    On the iPhone, the MacBook Pro is then shown as 'Not Connected'
    When I click on it on the iPhone, I get the error:
    'Connection Unsuccessful'
    'MacBook Pro is not supported'
    'Forget this device'
    I don't have any other issues with headphones and headsets connected to both devices and other phones, a Samsung and two Nokias, connecting to the MBP.
    There seems to be no way to initiate pairing from the iPhone.
    Frankly, this is ridiculous.

  • Issue running VGA TV with Macbook Pro

    Hi all, been a while since I've asked anything around here, hope I can get some help.
    I'm trying to connect my Macbook Pro (late 2011) to our Sony Bravia 40" LCD TV (model# KDL-40V5100 if its needed) through its "PC" (i.e. VGA) input. I got a Mini Displayport to VGA adapter, and I've connected to the TV, but am having a couple of issues.
    1. When I try to set the VGA Display's settings to 1920x1080 60 60 Hz, the TV says it's not receiving a signal.
    2. When I lower the resolution on the VGA display, some will send a signal and some will not; however, when an image does appear, it's cropped off on all sides (i.e. zoomed in on the center).
    3. None of the display resolution options other than 1920x1080 are in the proper 16:9 ratio. The display's native resolution is, according to Sony, 1920x1080, but it seems odd that none of the other options are t=the correct proportions.
    So right now I can't connect to the TV and display a reliable image. At best I can get the center of the screen to appear, at some resolutions.
    And all of this occurs effectively the same whether I mirror the displays or not.
    Any help?

  • HT1386 Problem connecting Iphone 5 to Macbook Pro

    My usb-doc has been broken in my macbook pro since a year now. Recently, i bough the iPhone 5. To connect my iPhone with my macbook pro trough Wifi, i need to connect it first with the USB-cable. But this is not possible now. Is there any solution?  thx (sorry for the bad english)

    Well, They are. All the rest of the ports (sd, firewire800, ...) are working. I've tried 'rebooting' them, but there was water involved... Do you really need to connect With USB in the beginning?

    I bought an iPhone 5 in a Mac store at the beginning of April and now my phone won't charge or connect to my MacBook Pro ? I have taken the cover off and tried both side of the cable, but nothing! It won't even charge with a wall charger.

    Don't take the cover off...
    You have voided the warranty.
    Take it back to the Apple Store.
    Likely you'll have to pay $229 to have it replaced.

    You can stop looking. That's not a Bluetooth profile that's available on iPhones.

  • Connect iPhone 5 to MacBook Pro without personal hotspot

    I am trying to pair my iPhone 5 to my MBP so I can use Dialectic. I keep getting an error on the iPhone saying that this device is not supported. It seems I am supposed to turn on my Personal Hotspot, but I can't do that as I have an unlimited data plan from AT&T and if I do that it will change my data plan! I must be missing something. Please help!

    Not too sure if this answers but I had problems with tethering my macbook pro to new Iphone 5. This is how I did it.  Blue sync device via Macbook. Clear all devices first so that it picks up phone then go through steps. The Macbook said all was fine the phone said forget device. Don't panic.
    Go to the wifi connection on mac and you're phone should be there click on it.  It will ask for a wifi code which will be on your iphone, (not the five digit number). You'll find in settings>personal hotspot,punch that in and it should work. 
    I know it works coz I'm writing this, after a lot of stress and confusion.  Jeez apples supposed to be easy.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can connect to Snow with MacBook Pro but not G4

    I have used my G4 with the airport for a long time. I recently got a MacBook Pro and it connects in fine to the ABS. Both worked connecting to the ABS for a few months. Suddenly, the G4 quit recognizing the ABS. Nothing I do allows it to find it. Could there have been a software update that caused this? There was a thunder storm, but no recognizable issues on the G4, everything seems to be fine...except it doesn't see the Airport.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    try unplugging your broadband modem and ABS for a short time and plug them back in.

  • Connect Ipad retina with macbook pro OS X 10.5.8

    I just bought a new Ipad with retina display and I'm trying to connect to my MacBook pro, but it says I cannot because the itunes has to be version 10.7 (mine is 10.6) so I check for version 10.7 but the specs say this is only for OS X 10.6.8 and I have 10.5.8!!!
    So is the only way to use my iPad with my MacBook Pro by upgrading the MacBook Pro software? How come no one says anything about this at the Apple Store??
    Are there other ways to do this?

    You need to upgrade your OS. It's your responsibility to verify if your equipment meets the system requirements, not the Apple Store.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.

  • Connecting iPhone 4S to Macbook Pro via Wifi

  • Connecting iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro

    I was trying to connect my iPhone to my macbook via bluetooth and I went through the bluetooth setup which was successful. Afterwards it does not connect and when i try connecting to my laptop through my phone it says my macbook is not supported. I was wondering if it has anything to do with my macbook being a older generation (not quite sure i bought it secondhand and can't find which generation it is) and not having the support with the new iPhone 4 or what. Any help is great!

    The only thing you can do connecting any iPhone to any computer by bluetooth is tether. File transfer by bluetooth has never been supported. So, unless you're trying to tether, you can quit trying as your phone & computer won't pair.
