Mac book does not discover itouch in bluetooth

My Macbook does not "discover" my Itouch when I sync with Bluetooth.  Both units are up to date and "discoverable."
Thanks in advamce.

The iPod does not contain the BT profiles necessary to pair with a computer.  The iPod can pair with headphones, speakers, keyboards (newer iPods), and some other iDevices via apps for some file transfer but mainly for game playing.  See the following:

  • I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm mic and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lecture to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lectures to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
    traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
    Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
    external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
    Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
    ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
    wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
    Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
    be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
    most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
    is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
    Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
    electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
    Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
    remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
    Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
    & mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
    Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
    at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
    PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
    or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

  • I have forgotten my password to get into my mac bokok pro. I have used my iPad to reset the password but my Mac book does not recognise the reset password.

    I have reset my password using my iPad. Why does my Mac book not recognise it to allow me to log in to it?

    What password did you change and what password is your Mac requesting.
    Without details all you will get is guesses.

  • My Mac Book Does not shut down

    I got a top of the line MacBook in March 2011, paid some $3000. It has had a problem from the beginning and unfortunately the dealer convinced me at the time it was a random happening so i did not return it immediately. But it is really intolerable.
    When i try to turn it off, if i have used any programs, it goes to the blue screen but then the circle thing can be going forever and it never completely turns off and it heats up, even if i have quit all programs and nothing but the finder is running. I have to force shut off by pressing five buttons at the same time, including on/off button. It is irritating. At first i thought it was just an inconvenience at shut down, but increasingly the fan is working full time and so loudly all the time and when it does this i know it will not shut down. Shutting applications does not fix it. I have to turn it off, and go through the routine of forcing shut down. When using several applications i think it is slow for a macbook and apps go into loops of non-responding. For a mac with 8GB of memory, an i7 processor, it is not good enough. I am increasingly thinking that all the problems are linked. After 15 months of denial i have had enough of it.
    I have used macs since the 1990s and i am more than fed up with the number of lemons i have had from Apple. I just did not want to believe that this is another one. Just not good enough. SInce 2011 i have bought 8 ipods for presents, an ipad and this macbook. Lemons made me go away from macs but i came back.
    Anyone having similar problems?

    Just as an experiment, try resetting the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964).
    If that doesn't work, maybe someone else can come up with something. Did you buy AppleCare? I would have insisted on a fix during the first year of warranty, but if you bought AppleCare, you can always make an appointment at a Genius Bar and take it in (even if you don't have AppleCare, take it in - they won't charge you to diagnose the problem - just to fix it).

  • Mac Book Does Not See XP as Option On Startup with 'Option' Key

    After successful install of XP Pro, my Mac Book only shows the Mac HD on startup when I hold down the 'Option' key. Per instructions, this procedure is suppose to show both the Mac & Windows HDs and allow a choice at startup. Ant ideas how to fix?

    Hatter:
    I now have a premise for this problem. I used an XP install disc that I received with a Compaq laptop that I purchased last year. HP/Compaq often write their own information to the boot section upon install of the operating system. If this happened when I installed XP from the Compaq disc then this HP/Compaq boot information may be interfering with the XP boot being seen at startup when the option key is pressed.
    To prove this premise I need to know if you installed XP from a disc provide by an OEM under their brand such as HP. If so then we can conclude that the premise stated above is correct and that the solution would be to install a clean version of XP from MS.
    Can you help?

  • Mac Book does not turn off...?

    I plugged an iPod to my new MacBook, it didn't work and was loading all the time. Pulled out the plug, now it's still loading, and I can't turn off my MacBook (using the conventional way to turn off the Macbook). What should I do? Please help me...

    Have you tried holding down the on/off switch for about 10 seconds. Failing that I guess you take the battery out!

  • TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work).  "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
    That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

    Hey ravi1462,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far! In regards to bluetooth connections, you may find the following troubleshooting information helpful:
    iOS: How to troubleshoot Bluetooth connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
    - Move your iOS device closer to the Bluetooth accessory.
    - Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if performance improves.
    - Check for sources of potential interference and move both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory away from other electronic devices.
    - Check that the Bluetooth accessory is using a profile that works with the iOS device.
    - Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    - Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

  • Why does my mac book pro not show in 1080p on my flat screen

    why does my mac book pro not show in 1080p on my flat screen. My mac bookpro always showed in 1080p on a Sanyo Plasma screen. Now when I connect mac book pro I get a blank screen. It will display in 720 but not 1080p. Also will show in 1080i but pictures flicker.

    davenug,
    given how much we currently know about your MacBook Pro, why do you think that we would know the reason? Please help us to help you by providing relevant information about your MacBook Pro — which model is it? Which version of OS X is installed on it? Is its battery fully charged? Is its AC charger working properly? &c.

  • When I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts

    I have followed the instructions to setup Messages, I can send messages to the email addresses that I have memorized, but when I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts when I type in the search field for a person that has an iPad or iPhone.
    This sems out of sorts for an Apple product. Their stuff normally just works.
    For some reason, My Mac Mini with Mountain Lion doesn't recognize my contact names, or it isn't synched with my contacts...
    Anybody else want to weigh in, please?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    I would point out that I did say...
    Of course the Contacts List has to have people listed in it.
    The Error seems to be that you have not even got an My Card.
    The OS when the computer is brand new and you set up the first Admin Account should create at least once Card entry for the Address Book/Contacts which has the Head and Shoulders icon (the My Card)
    The does presume the the first account on the Mac doers have a person's First name and Last name to work with.
    Of course not everyone sets things up this way.
    Anyhow
    To Check the Contacts List open the app.
    Go to the Preferences.
    Go to the Accounts section.
    This should list at least two "accounts
    One is for Syncing with iCloud and the other is for storing the Info on the Mac itself
    In System Preferences > iCloud you can only set up one Apple ID to be the iCloud ID.
    If you do or have changed this you may have extra accounts in the Contacts > Preferences > Accounts
