No longer able to sync my iPhone to my MacBook Pro Retina Early 2013

Today after airplaying my iPhone through Apple TV and using a new Bluetooth speaker, I am unable to sync the iPhone to my MacBook. After I clicked the sync button, iTunes started to sync and gave me the following error message: "The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." I'm not sure if AirPlay caused the issue or if something else did. I was last able to sync on 12-17 and am using iTunes 11.1.3, IOS 7.0.4, and OS 10.9.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try trashing your iPod's Photo cache and then resyncing the device. The photo cache has a tendency to become corrupt every now and then. Use this article to help you determine where the iPod's photo cache is at.

AirDrop between iPhone 6 plus (iOS 8.1) and MacBook Pro retina early 2013 not working

Hi there,
Can somebody please help me. I ent to transfer so videos that I have saved via airdrop To my MacBook pro from my iPhone 6plus.
When I try to send via airdrop, neither my phone shows the MacBook as available not does my MacBook show that my phone is available to send/receive files via airdrop. I have wifi and Bluetooth activated. Please can somebody help? I can't email the files because they are too large for that.
Thank you.

Hey romeopatel,
I see that you are experiencing some issues with AirDrop. I have an article with some information for you about what to do if your device is not appearing when attempting to AirDrop:
Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6510
Don't see who you're looking for?
When you select AirDrop, OS X looks for other Mac computers and devices that are nearby that also use AirDrop. If you don't see someone in the AirDrop window, here are some things to check.
Preventing senders
You can prevent people you don't know from sending you files, or you can allow everyone. If you don't see a recipient in the AirDrop window, they might only accept files from people who in their Contacts list. Ask them to add you in their Contacts app, or have them select the option "Allow me to be discovered by: Everyone" in the AirDrop window.
Sending files to and from an older Mac
If a Mac you're using with AirDrop was manufactured before 2012, you can send and receive files with other Mac computers.
On the sending Mac, click "Don't see who you're looking for" in the AirDrop window.
Select the option to "Search for an Older Mac."
On the receiving Mac, open a new Finder window and click AirDrop in the sidebar.
Tips for sending files
Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on your Mac and your iOS device. Although you don't have to connect to a specific network, Wi-Fi needs to be on to send and receive files using AirDrop.
Move your devices closer together. AirDrop is designed to work within a range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters). If you need to send a file to someone farther away, consider using File Sharing, iCloud, or email instead.
If you're using a firewall on your Mac, you won't be able to receive AirDrop files if you have enabled "Block all incoming connections" in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences.
Make sure your devices meet system requirements for AirDrop.
System Requirements
To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
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. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
For help identifying your Apple product, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu, or refer to the Apple Support website.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Braden

How to sync my iPhone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing?

How to sync my iphone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing? When I initially set up everything it worked fine; however, now my contacts are not syncing between devices?
I have Icloud and even paid for ectra storage to see if this was the issue but it doesnt seems to be. When I try and view devices on my itunes to sync it will not allow - blank option?
If anyone could please help it would be really appreciated- thanks in advance:)

I don't know how you got to your current position, but you might want to start by replacing your calendar with your MacBook Pro calendar if it is correct (if it isn't, skip this): first disable calendar syncing on your phone (Settings>iCloud>Calendars set to OFF), then prior to syncing open iTunes on your computer and disable automatic syncing (under Preferences>Devices>Disable...from syncing automatically syncing). Next connect your phone and set your sync settings on the Info tab to Syc Calendars with iCal, and below under Advanced choose "Replace Information on this iPhone" and check Calendars. Now sync and this will hopefully replicate your MacBook calendar on your iPhone.
Next, carefully review this to see that you have correctly set up iCloud on both your phone and your MacBook: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/, and that your meet the minimum system requirements (latest version of iOS on your phone, latest version of iTunes, OSX Lion 10.7.2 or later).

Since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170) I am no longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro. I am using operation system OSX 10.6.8 and being presented with error message "You have been disconnected - an internal error occurred.

No longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170). The operating system is OSX 10.6.8.

My problem opening FaceTime after the upgrade is now solved. I didn't pay enough attention when prompted to decide where to store the application upgrade and as a consequence the computer created another "Applications" folder within the existing one. When I subsequently clicked on the icon on the dock to open the application the computer couldn't find the software.

How do I activate continuity calls on my macbook pro? I have an iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014 and I live in Dubai

I have an iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014 and I live in Dubai, I bought my macbook from Canada and iPhone from UAE so it doesn't have FaceTime but i should be able to get calls on my mac right?

If you set your imessage off on your phone it will only turn it off on your phone i think I don't think it effects your mac. I'm not 100% sure on this though.
If you want to remove imessages from your mac - Open iMessage, go to Messages top left, and then select Preferences. Select "Accounts" and then simply "Sign out" That should do it.

No longer able to sync my iPhone

I had always been able to sync my iPhone with iTunes until I upgraded the version to iPhone 5.0.1 and iTunes 10. Now it freezes always at some point (sometimes at "syncing notes", other times at "syncing bookmarks", and sometimes at the very start, but it never goes past it, it never completes the sync, and it never reproduces the iPhone memos in iTunes, for example, among other problems. I have tried everything. Reinstalling iTunes, resetting my iPhone, restoring it completely (twice, in fact), painfully erasing absolutely all data, and copying it all again. NOTHING helps. Could anyone please help me with a useful suggestion?

Having the same problem with my 3. Reinstalled OS three times with no luck. Also, it freezes and keeps resetting (rebooting) every 5-10 minutes. Wish I had never updated. Anyone have a clue?

Sync From iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

I had my MacBook stole and did not back up my stuff i.e music, contacts calender..
Is the any way i can sync from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro?
I dont wanna loose 1900+ Songs and contacts ..
Any help would be good!

For retrieving your songs, try Senuti. As for the contacts, I'm not aware of any way to recover them, but perhaps someone on the iPhone forums would be more helpful.

Is there a way to sync contacts iPhone with my macbook pro

Is there a way to sync contacts iPhone with my macbook pro

Yes.
1) With iTunes and an USB cable.
2) Using MobileMe over the air. (I think it's replaced by iCloud soon [5th Oct.])
I would just wait and create an iCloud account when it's released.

Wifi Problem iPhone 3Gs AND MAcBook Pro Retina 13" 2014

Hey everyone,
I recently started to experience a problem with my wifi connection with both my apple devices (an old iPhone 3 Gs and a new Macbook Pro Retina 13''). Both are on the newest (availbe in case of the iPhone) Os X. Let me describe the circumstances:
I live in a house with 7 other students and the wifi router was quite far away, therefore I installed an ethernet connection with my laptop and tried to get used to a bad wifi signal on my iPhone. Well, at some point I was sick of that and installed an old router I found (Sweex LW050v2). For a time everything was working smoothly until other people in this house though they need another router on our floor and installed one (Sitecom0E5C02). As soon as they did that I started to have troubles on my iPhone and the Macbook as well (when I tried to use the wifi instead of the cable). The issue is not that I loose the wifi connection, but that I can not connect to the internet even though I have a connection to our wifi (I tried with all 3). In the beginning I though this was an issue with our router-setup (you can probably tell I am no expert) but at some point realised that I am the only one with a problem. Since then I have to disconnect from the wifi and connect again every time I loose the internet, which is now almost every 2 minutes!! Thus, my frustration and now me posting here with hopes of receiving help.
I would much appreciate help or constructive suggestions.
Thank you

Hi Fedaja,
There is a section in both of these articles for troubleshooting connecting to the Internet even when you can connect to Wi-Fi.

Iphone ruined my macbook pro retina batterie? is this possible?

Hello,
I have a macbook pro retina 15" and sudenly the batterie stoped charging.
A few nights before i left my iphone 4 conected to it because i had no charge on it. Later in that morning the iphone was charged (and the laptop wasnt connected to the ac charger)
I went away for a week without the laptop and when i returned and tryed to charge the computer. So i pluged the charger. 6 hours after, the red light in the charger was still on. (The charger is brand new, bought online in november 2013)
I found it strange and pressed the power button on the laptop.
it started normally while connected and the battery icon said it has 28% of battery, but it also has the info that its not charging and to replace the batery. A few minutes after using the laptop it sudenly turns off. I unplug the charger and it doenst power on hen i press the power button, but when i connect the charger he assumes it and powers on automaticly. I also made the SMC reset but with no positive result.
The one year warranty expired two months ago, and since it was bought on the USA and i live in Portugal im having some issues trying to solve this.
I went today to a mac premium store here in Lisbon, Portugal and they sayd i have to replace the top bottom (?) where the battery is located. They just asked for 530€ (aprox 750 dollars) just for the replacement part.
The guy from the store said that you should never leave your macbook pro stored with 100% battery, always between 40 and 60%, is this true?
Im having a huge trouble in acepting this because i dont use the laptop while charging, i always let it almost empty before charging again. and i dont use it a daily basis.
Is it possible a computer so expensive has so many problems?
Someone has an opinion or idea?
Thanks
Pedro

Start by calling Apple Support at the country number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 as the info from the person you talked with is incorrect.
You can leave the MBP with a full charge with no problems, in fact that is the best thing to do.
The iPhone charging did not damage the MBP battery, the failure of that battery is another issue.
When you say you bought the MBP charger on-line, is it an Apple charger or third-party charger? Many thiord-party chargers do not output the correct power (voltage and current) for the computer and do cause damage to the battery and charging circuitry.
Talk with the Apple Support people and see what they recommend and how to proceed.

Can't connect iPhone 5s to macbook pro retina via bluetooth

Just downloaded Yosemite and am trying to pair my iPhone 5s to my macbook pro retina via bluetooth to take advantage of call handoff. I cannot get the pairing to work. It appears to try to connect, sends the pair code to my phone and I accept, but then fails. My phone mysteriously shows two available options for my Macbook Pro. Can't figure that out either. I tried resetting my network settings on my phone, and did a two button reset on my phone as well. Any suggestions?

I have a feeling this is a Yosemite bug (or iOS 8). I'm getting the same error message, and I also have 2 copies of my macbook air (2013) showing up on my phone (iphone 6 plus) . Bluetooth is on for both devices, its just still telling me it cant get network access even after momentarily saying its connected and giving me a pair code.
Update: Unpairing the phone and re-pairing doesn't fix anything. Still get a pair code, then it immediately disconnects.

I can't sync my iPhone with my macbook pro?

its a long story but what happened was a few months ago in June of 2014 I found out my macbook pro had a virus. I have had my mac for almost a year before June so I had synced my iPhone which was running 7.0.6 and still is since I haven't updated my iPhone to iOS 8. So the only way to get rid of the virus I had to erase my entire mac. I basically returned it to factory settings. I lost all my data. Lucky I saved some of my data on an external hard drive. Now fast forward to today Nov 27 and I had downloaded music from iTunes on the same iPhone and i wanted to sync my music on iTunes and my mac is running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and it says that my iPhone 5s is synced with another computer but in reality its the same computer its just I restarted my mac to factory settings. I've tried going online to see if there's a way to bypass it and trick my iPhone into thinking its syncing the with the same iTunes cause thats the reason it won't sync with two computers but my problem is I'm using the same mac and i can't find a way to fix my problem. PLEASE HELP ME.

Can you be a little more specific? Do you mean you have set the sync options on the Device pages, Clicked Sync and it does not work, or you can't find the sync pages.

Need to sync my iphone 4 to MacBook Pro

Hi, my Iphone 4 will not sync to my MacBook Pro anymore for some strange reason. I just download the latest iTunes, but I wasn't able to install it because I don't have the OS X 10.6.8 or later software, I downloaded the software and it still didn't work and a message popped up telling me to download the OS X 10.6....so I did and it still doesn't allow me to sync my phone. Please help

message popped up telling me to download the OS X 10.6....so I did
At start of that thread, I by mistake assumed that you already know. Before you can install new
itunes, you need to have mac OS X 10.6 (snow leopard).
So your first step is to check if your sysem hardware is good for that. Use the link above, decide if you want to pay 29 bucks (for software).
