Macbook pro and Iphone5 bluetooth connection problem

my Iphone 5 will pair with my macbook pro with bluetooth but when i try to connect it says unsupported devicebl

Thanks for your reply.
In the Print and Scan Preference how many printers do you have installed? - one.
If only one which I assume is USB, try installing the Cannon as a network printer. - It doesn't specify that it is connected by USB. It says that it is "in use, Default". There is a tick in the box alongside "Share this printer on the network". Is there somewhere else that I need to access to install it as a network printer?
If you have already installed it as a network printer open the print queue from the Print and Scan. Click on the Printer Menu and run Netwrok Diagnostics.
I entered the print queue but there is no option to click on Network Diagnostics because it is greyed out.
There are tick boxes alongside:
Screen sharing
File sharing
Printer sharing
Scanner sharing
Remote login
Remotemanagement
Remote Apple events
Internet sharing
Bluetooth sharing
with a tick alongside Printer sharing.
Many thanks.

I upgraded to Lion and then all video clips on for instance Youtube freeze every tenth second to buffer more data. I have a MacBook Pro and never had any problems when using Snow Leopard. Ulf Magnusson, Sweden

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Macbook Pro will not bluetooth connect to trusted device

I have both an iPhone 3GS and a Sprint Vero (Model number SCP-3820) that are trusted devices and which I have successfully paired in the past but bluetooth will not connect to them. I'm running Mac OS10.6.8 on my Macbook Pro and my software is up to date.
I've read that shutting the computer down and restarting it will allow connection, and this has worked in the past -- but shutting the compter down isn't always practical. Is there a hoseable .plist that could be causing the problem?
Have a care,

MacBook Pro and Cintiq 12UX display problems?

Hi,  
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so I'm sorry if it isn't - this is just the only place I could think of to ask about a display problem?
I’ve just got the new model Cintiq 21UX, and I’m running it off one of the newer model MacBook Pro’s (using Apples adapter to connect the two).
Everything seems to be working fine, although on the Cintiq’s screen I get flickering green pixels in darker areas of the screen? The confusing thing is it doesn’t happen all the time, it just seems to be the one particular ‘shade’ of dark grey/dark tones it happens on - an example is if I move an image around then its the same area of colour it has problems with across the screen, or if I zoom in the effected area gets bigger etc. I can also edit the colour to a slightly different shade and the problem stops so it can’t be a dead/frozen pixel. If I turn on the mirror display option it is still only the Cintiq display that is effected.
I currently run the MacBook using the Nvidia 9600M GT, I did try switching to the 9400M but it made the situation a lot worse and caused green pixels lines to flash horizontally across the screen.
I can save the image or drag the window that the problems happening on and drag it back to the MacBooks’ screen and there is no problem with the pixels there - it’s only on the Cintiq display.
I was just wondering if this is either a fault with the Cintiq tablet itself, or possibly a problem with the MacBook?
If it’s useful the spec of the MacBook is: 
Late 2008 unibody 15.4”
Mac OS X v10.6.3 Snow Leopard
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT & 9400M
I’m not sure what other spec would be of use but if theres more I can let you know.
Any help would be appreciated, as it works fine other than this occational green flicker, and it’ll cost me a lot to send of either the Cintiq or the MacBook off for a service or replacement in the UK?
Cheers!

It could just be bad. Do you have another computer to try it with?

AE ppoe mode in AE only allows macbook pro and iMac to connect to internet but not ipad

I just upgraded to 20MB DSL line and got a new Qwest Q1000 modem connected to an A Extreme.
Since Qwest now has PPPoE, I set the Q1000 modem to bridge mode and turned off Wifi.
Then I Set the AEx router to ppoe mode, entered my username and password from Qwest and all is well with all lights green.
But... only my imac and macbook pro connect to the internet. My ipad, my wife's macbook and an ipod touch cannot connect.
According the Airport Utility, all these devices are detected by the wifi network and they have their own unique IPs provided by the AEx router (in pppoe mode) 10.0.1.7, 10.0.1.9 and so forth, no ip conflicts detected, all the lights green with full access to the internet. Again, only my iMac and my macbook pro actually connect to the internet at full speed.
Does any one know why some devices connect to the internet while others are not able to...
Again, no errors detected anywhere, all modem and router lights green.
Any help is welcomed.

Thanks for the reply. Your suggestion did not work. Apparently there is an issue with DNS addresses.
The Airport Extreme in pppoe mode sets the router and DNS addresses to be the same 10.0.1.1. Some devices (like my macbook pro and iMac) ignore this DNS value or use a different (unknown) and then they connect to the internet perfectly. But the devices (ipads and ipods) aquire and set both values (Router and DNS) to be the same, (10.0.1.1 and 10,0.1.1) wont connect to the internet until I manually changed the DNS address in the DNS field.
Question: are these two values supposed to be the same/different/ in both fields in the AExt in pppoe mode?
Thanks

9780 and Playbook bluetooth connection problem

I have never experienced bluetooth connecting problems between my 9780 and Playbook 64 previously ... but for last few days I cannot connect them. I have deleted both devices and re-paired successfully. I have turned both fully off (removed 9780 battery) and still no connection.
I have tested both devices by successfully connecting each of them to other bluetooth devices. They just will not connect to each other for some reason.
The only change was the recent Playbook Software update.
I use the Bridge and Tethering all the time and so need Bluetooth to be working ... thanks for any assistance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

maybe you can uninstall then reinstall the Bridge app on your 9780.

Macbook pro and photosmart 7960 connection greyed out.

Macbook pro 10.7.5 Lion. trying to connect a HP photosmart 7960. via USB, the printer used to work on my macbook pro , every box is now greyed out , Add, print & scan. I hagve tried everything to no avail.
When connected to my sons macbook it regsters but reads not connected.
Edward.

Hello Edward,
Thank you for clarifying.
I would first suggest performing a cold reset to the printer by following these steps
Press the Power button () to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button () to turn it on.
If the same persists, may you have any other PC? (e.g. a Windows PC) to have a test on it?
That in order to double check, as the issue seems too common for both of the Macs and likely to indicate an hardware failure with the USB port of the printer...
Regards,
Shlomi

Airport Extreme - Macbook Pro and iPhone can connect, XP laptop/Macbook

This afternoon I switched from Embarq DSL to Comcast. My Airport Extreme is connected to my new cable modem. We tested the Internet connection, both wirelessly and via Ethernet, with my Macbook Pro before the tech left. We also tested the MBP connected directly to the cable modem. Everything worked just fine.
However, after he left I found that my XP laptop cannot connect to the Internet, and neither can our Macbook. Both appear to be getting local (10.X.X.X) IP addresses and both get a strong signal from the Airport Extreme, but no Web, no IM,no pinging, no nothing. No 404 errors, just lots of waiting - like 2-3 minutes - then the Safari message that I'm not connected to the Internet. Ditto when connected via Ethernet.
Strangely, my iPhone is able to get on the Web via the Airport no problem.
I've power cycled all the machines, the Airport Extreme, and the cable modem, tried every manual setup option I can think of, and set it up on automatic via Airport Utility, and always the results are the same. I've been at it for hours.
Has anyone seen this happen? Any idea of how to fix it?

If the last computer you had connected was the MBP, then you will have to reset the cable modem. It remembers the IP address of the last connected computer. If the AEBS is now connected, the cable modem will not see it. Same thing happened to me. Once you've reset, reconnect the AEBS and it should work.

Home Sharing between Macbook Pro and AppleTV not connecting, what's wrong?

So I have one of the late 2011 Macbook Pro models and the newest AppleTV that I do a lot of Home Sharing for movies and stuff like that. This problem keeps popping up though where they can't communicate with each other and the videos either stop loading half way through, or my AppleTV can't even connect with my macbook to start watching at all. I've gone through most of the possible solutions I've seen posted before and even the troubleshooting by apple about it. I've made sure they are both on the same apple ID, the same wi-fi network, restarted my router, even re-setup my router from scratch, closed itunes on my macbook, turned my wifi on and off a couple of times (worked for a few then stopped again), made sure that everything is on the most current software, but nothing seems to be doing the trick. This has been going on for months now and I'm pretty much sick of it happening. Somebody please help me fix this so I can get on with my movies!!

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
If this doesn't help, contact your ISP, this is most likely a network problem.

MacBook Pro and Sow Leopard video problem

When I connect MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard to LCD projector, the projected image is very problematic. Two symptoms. First, the video has a flicker to it. Second. menu lists have overlapping double and triple images so they cannot be selected accurately. The result is that demonstrations of sofware such as Final Cut pro cannot be done effectviely. Does this sound like a vieocard giving up and needing logic board replacement?

Macbook pro retina display wifi connection problem.

Macbook pro Retina display - 3 weeks old - connects erratically to home wifi over Airport Express
iphone and iMac connects to the same wifi network. I am connecting through iphone hot spot to write this question. please help.

I have posted my solution i.e. update airport utility software. Ocourse you needa working internet connection for that!
I have a 27 inch imac, mac book pro, mac book pro with retina display, iphone 4, iphone 4s, 2 x iphone 5. Each device was showing erratic internet connections at some point in time or the other.
I just updated Airport Utility Software. You can find it in Applications/Utilities. When you click on Airport utilities, it opens a window with 2 icons. The bottom icon will look like your airport express. click on that and then you will get info on the right. If , I repeat if, your Airport utility software requires updation, you will be prompted in the info box. Click that and then you will be fine.
However, the irony is that you need an internet connection for this. I set up a hot spot on my phone and did it.

Macbook Pro (mid 2010) internet connection problem

I just bought new MacBook Pro. I connect it via Ethernet, and all of the settings are what they should be, and it says that it is connected, but when i open safari, it doesn't open any page, saying "can't open the page, the server is not responding", and itunes doesn't connect to the itunes store either. At the same time, when i plug the cable in my dekstop pc, everything is fine.

If you had the cable plugged into the PC and then swapped the cable and plugged it into the MBP you need to power cycle your modem so it forgets that it was connected to the PC. And vice versa.

MacBook Pro and Time Capsule connection issue

I have an issue where all the devices in my house can connect and work with my Time Capsule, except for my MacBook Pro. Everything has worked in the past(including my MBP), but last weekend my Time Capsule died, I went to an Apple store and got a refurb unit.
After setting up the new unit, every device can attach and use it, except for my MBP. It appears to attach, but says that I don't have an internet connection. When I look at the attached clients on the Time Capsule, it shows all the devices by name, except mine is shown by MAC address.
I have the wifi settings set the same as the other computers, etc., which do work. I can take my MBP to other places that have wifi, and it works just fine. It also doesn't work if I plug it into one of the LAN connections(Ethernet) on the Time Capsule. The other computers will work on wifi or the direct connection.
After taking my computer to another place and using their wifi, mine worked when I brought it back home. This lasted for a few days, then it just stopped again this morning.
I have restarted, shutdown, etc., the Time Capsule and my MBP many, many times.
Time Capsule 512MB original unit, firmware(7.6)
MacBook Pro 17", 9 months, 10.7.2
Other devices: two iMacs, 3 iPhones, 2 iPads 2's, and an Apple TV.
Anyone else having similar issues, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi DD,
If you don't get answers here, try posting in the Time Capsule forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1253) and/or the Time Machine forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1342).

How do I combine Gmail contacts, Contacts on MacBook Pro and iPhone5 without duplicating?

I use a MacBook Pro, but my preferred mail is Gmail, so I have a lot of contacts on my MacBook from Gmail and just a few that have gradually crept into the Address Book that came with the MacBook Pro. Just got a new iPhone 5 and have spent two days manually deleting duplicate contacts that were caused in the switch from my old Droid to the iPhone. There MUST be a way to efficiently merge all three address/email sources without winding up with triplicate entries!
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
ElyArtist
