New iphone 5s won't bluetooth pair with new macbook pro

How is it that Apple didn't fix this?  I have all the current software and hardware and there is no way that Apple didn't foresee people wanting to use applications to sync and work across platforms with their $3000 investment in Apple products.
Any thoughts?

As you are probably aware, the bluetooth profiles supported are limited: iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
I don't have any idea why. You could however provide feedback to Apple at https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • TS1569 My Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (2003, White) won't pair with my MacBook Pro

    My Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (2003, White) won't pair with my MacBook Pro anymore.  It seems just randomly became unresponsive.  I took them both to the genius bar and everything worked fine.  When I got home, NOTHING worked! Any Ideas??
    The batteries are fine, and it will not pair with my wife's MacBook either.

    iPhones and Macbooks cannot pair to each other except for internet sharing.
    Most Bluetooth operations between them (like Airdrop) do not require they be paired.
    What exactly are you attempting to do by pairing them?

  • How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion?  I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8)

    How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion?  I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8) since November until now.  Mail will no longer download on the MacBook Pro and keeps asking for my password.

    Mail should still be usable with your machine - but you'll need to update the settings to conform to the requirements of your system. Check with your ISP (like ATT, etc.) for the settings that will work with your Mail. Once you've updated this, you should be able to email like before.
    For example, my ISP required that I go to Mail Preferences/Accounts and make sure the details conform to your email settings.
    I have no idea of what your ISP is or what the settings might be, but this is likely the source of the problem.

  • Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?

    Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?
    If so, are there any problems and/or limitations in doing so? (i.e. no stereo sound, or anything else?).

    Can you use Bluetooth earphones simultaneously with the Magic Mouse (which is also Bluetooth)?
    And, just out of curiosity, why can't you use the Bluetooth earphones on an airplane?

  • IPhone 4 bluetooth won't pairing with my MacBook Pro and Blackberry

    I just bought an iPhone 4 few days ago, but seems I'm having an issue in pairing my iPhone with my Blackberry Bold 9700, and the worst part is I can't even pairing it with my MacBook Pro 13" 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. All devices has been in "discovery" mode, but my iPhone can't recognize any of those devices. On the other side my MBP and Blackberry recognizing my iPhone, but can not be pairing.
    Anyone could help me on this? I've been trying to search for the answer in the forum but can't find it. I found some subjects regarding iPhone bluetooth issue but can't find the answer of my problem.
    Thanks,

    Just sync, I'm not sure what else it is suppose to be able to do as I am yet to achieve a connection.
    I am assuming it should be able to sync my library, playlists, etc.

  • My iPhone 6 plus will not pair with my macbook air 2014

    My iPhone 6 plus gives a message unsuccessful not supported when I try and pair with my macbook air.
    both are running up to date iOS and OS X.

    An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

  • I just purchased an Apple TV and it won't pair with my MacBook Pro. I use OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)

    the apple tv does not work with my macbook pro could you please help me out ?

    AppleTVs do not pair with any device.
    What specifically are you attempting to accomplish?

  • Motorola HS820 will not pair with my Macbook Pro and now audio is broken...

    My problem is two fold.
    First i cannot connect my Motorola HS820 Bluetooth headset to my Macbook Pro. The bluetooth assistant pairs it succesfully but when it connects it immediately disconnects. All of the posts i that address this are either for g4 macbooks or do not work for me...
    Second, now that i have attempted this connection i am having issues with several apps including firefox and mediacentral. Audio from these programs will not play. I get an error message saying there was a problem with configuration..

    This is not related to the Intel platform (MacBook or MacBook Pro). Make sure the headset is turned on before you turn on your Mac. Then it should connect correctly.
    To change the sound outpu, please go to Mac OS X > System Preferences > Sound > Output and change it back to the internal speakers.

  • My new TomTom doesn't seem to work with my MacBook Pro (OS version 10.7.2). Is there any way I can make it work?

    The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro? Does Apple want to drive us into using PCs or what is going on? Is there a driver or some other clever means of making the TomTom work as they used to work with Macs? This is an urgent question - please help if you can! Thanks. Bill

    What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7.  PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel.  At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years.  They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion.  It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier.  The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.

  • Why won't my Apple keyboard pair with my Macbook Pro?  Everything's discoverable...the light is blinking...the Macbook pro picks up other bluetooth...It's not paired with anything else?

    Hello,
    My wireless keyboard was paired with my iPad for a while, with no problem. Today I've unpaired it and tried to add it to my MBP (which I've done plenty of times in the past with sucess) but it's just not discovering it today.
    Bluetooth is on, my laptop is discoverable
    The MBP is picking up my phone, the iPad can see the MBP
    The keyboard is turned on and blinking
    Whether I try to 'set up new bluetooth keyboard' from Sys Preferences or 'set up bluetooth device' from Bluetooth menu, nothing happens.
    Any ideas?
    I've tried removing batteries, retarting the laptop..... Why should I try next?
    Thanks in advance everyone

    1. Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth on the device.
    2. Hold Power button of your keyboard until the light stops blinking.
    3. On the Mac, go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard.
    4. Turn on the keyboard. If it doesn't connect to the Mac, press any key of the wireless keyboard.
    5. When the keyboard appears on your Mac, choose Continue

  • IPad won't bluetooth pair with Mac mini

    I would like to use Mobile Mouse by RPA Tech on my IPad mini  to control my Mac mini running OS X  10.6.8.  It would be my preference to use a Bluetooth PAN instead of WiFi,   I say this because Bluetooth peripherals seem to auto-connect better than Wifi, might be my imagination.  Anyway, I can't get my iPad to pair with the Mac.  The Mac sends a code, the iPad asks if I want to pair, then the pairing comes back as unsuccessful.  Any ideas?

    It is not designed to. The ipad will not even connect with it with air drop. You can only pair a mouse or keyboard.

  • Iphone6 bluetooth not pair with my MacBook Pro !

    When i try to pair my iphone6 to my MacBook Pro, appear the Message Code, i select Pair, the devices connect and after few seconds, disconnect and om my iphone appear the message:
    "Is not Possible to pair the device. MacBook PRO is not supported".
    I check the Macbook Pro details and i have Bluetooth 4 on my Mac.
    I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Version on Mac and iOS 8.2 on iPhone.
    This situation cause de impossibilities ti use software like Tether.
    Any suggestions ?
    Thanks for Help.

    There is no supported Bluteooth pairing profile between the iPhone and Mac other than Hotspot tethering.
    if you are talking about the Tether Whiteboard App then you need a paired Mac Application which can be download from the developer.

  • Will the new Apple wireless keyboard and mouse work with my Macbook Pro?

    Looking at purchasing a wireless keyboard and mouse for my Macbook Pro. Figured the one made by apple will work, but not sure... Any suggestions on a good wireless keyboard and mouse, or knowledge on whether Apples will work or not?

    keyboard: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MC184LLANB/
    magic mouse: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MB829LLABB/
    I just got them last week and the keyboard is new and the mouse is used but looks brand new.  And you get a free pair of AA bateries with the mouse.  And you can get 2AA batteries for the keyboard for an extra $1.29 I highly recommend going this route as I did very recently and am very pleased.

  • Iphone 4 will not bluetooth pair with 2011kia sorento

    i just purchased my iphone4 and i have a 2011 kia sorento lx.   i can not get the phone to pair to the sorento's bluetooth system.   does anyone have any solutions on getting this to work?
    Thanks...

    Many people have reported this issue - including me. This is what worked for me...
    Open Control Panel and remove all Bluetooth connections.
    Turn on Bluetooth in Control Panel
    Tap the ⓘ next to all the listed devices, either within range or not.
    Tap "Forget thie Device
    Do a reset of your device.
    Simultaneously press and hold the Home and Power buttons on your iPhone. Do not release them until you see the Apple logo.
    Don't worry, this will not affect your apps or data.
    Try to reconnect the bluetooth device. Repeat the previous procedure a couple of times if unsuccessful. I needed to do this 2 or 3 times before it stuck.
    Also, for future reference, a seach of the forums will turn up answers to common problems. You should always go that route before posting yet another thread about a topic that has already been solved.
