Pair MBP with iPhone

Hi,
I've MBP 15'' Retina (Mavericks) and iPhone 4S (iOS 7). I would like to use my notebook as a "bluetooth headset" for iPhone. I'm looking for solution but not find yet. I've connected iPhone cable headphones with MBP, but when I got incomming call I need to reconnect it to iPhone. It's frustrating, but I don't want second pair of headset/headphones. Is there any solution to get one headphones for MBP and iPhone paired via bluetooth?

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred to an iPhone from one computer. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. This will not touch any other data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks, and photos in the camera roll unless you select to sync contact, calendar events, and Safari Bookmarks with the supported application on another computer.
You need to transfer your iTunes library (the iTunes named folder - which stores all iTunes data) and photos from your previous computer to your new MBP along with all other data that you want or need to access on your new MBP.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal, enter one unique contact in the Address Book and one unique calendar event in Cal on your MBP. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select.

Cannot pair bluetooth with iPhone

Hi!
I am trying to pair my Macbook Pro (10.6.4) with my iPhone (3GS, iOS4.0.2) via bluetooth in order to get internet tethering to work.
When I initiate the pairing from the Macbook, the "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" finds my iPhone, attempts to pair and shows me in big numbers the code. On the iPhone, an alert pops up to confirm that "...woult like to pair with your iPhone" and to confirm the passkey is the right one.
I now press "Pair" on the iPhone, and a few seconds later an alert pops up, saying "Could not pair with ..."
I can pair different devices to my Macbook (keyboard, mouse,...) and also the iPhone pairs without problems with a company Dell laptop, just Apple with Apple seems not to work.
Rebooted both Mac and iPhone, no success. And, no, the iPhone is not jailbroken.
Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work? Thanks lot!!
Cheers,
Hendrik

Post in one forum area only please. In any case try over in the iPhone forums:

New MBP with iPhone-like audio inputs. Do I need special adaptor?

I have a brand new MBP with the iPhone audio inputs/outputs. Do I need a special adaptor to use the speakers I was using before or can I just plug them in? How about for a microphone. IIRC those old ones were RCA plugs?

just realized i had made another post here long time back and it has a reply that covers what i need.

Problems pairing tuareg with iPhone 4

Please help, how pair the iPhone 4 with VW Tuareg 2010?

Hello Hembanna,
For the issue you describe I recommend this article named iPhone: Troubleshooting a cellular data connection found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3780.
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
Restart your iPhone.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrierto report the issue.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPhone as new.
Contact your carrier to:
Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
All the best,
Sterling

Minor bug in iTunes 10.5 on MBP with iPhone 4S

I have MacBook Pro 2010 15" OSX 10.6.8 running the latest iTunes 10.5. I plugged in my new iPhone 4S and went to the Photos tab. It seems the two-finger left to right and right to left scroll gestures are reversed here.
Anyone else have this happen too?

I did end up with a solution that was a bit complicated, but worked.
I used an application called AppZapper to completely delete iTunes off my computer. I then reinstalled with the DMG downloaded directly from apple.com.
It did force me to restore my phone from a previous backup, so I lost about two weeks of data.
Then I was able to download and install iOS 5.

Not able to pair my sony DR-BTN200 with iPhone 5S

not able to pair my sony DR-BTN200 with iPhone 5S

Hello rammail2u.
Greetings and thank you for your message, in order to connect and pair both devices via bluetooth follow the next steps:
1. Place the Bluetooth device within 1 meter (3 feet)
2. Press and hold the POWER button for more than 30 seconds while the unit is off.
3. Make sure that the indicator flashes in blue and red alternately after you release the button.
4. Perform the pairing procedure on the Bluetooth device to detect the headphones by going to the bluetooth settings of your Iphone 5s.
5. When the list of detected devices appears on the display, select the model DR-BTN200 to make the connection.
6. If a passkey input is required on the display of a Bluetooth device, try using “0000” as reference.
NOTE: Every time you want to pair the devices don't forget to press and hold the power button until a blue indicator flashes on the set. The blue indicator means that the headphones are ready to be paired with an external device, also tells you that the bluetooth function is already on.
If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accept as Solution."

Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

MacBook Air cannot pair with iphone

Hi,
Once I've configured my MacBook to use tethering with iphone 3GS via Bluetooth. Suddenly it stopped to work. Then I tried to pair two devices again, but simply I cannot.
I open Bluetooth assistant which finds my iPhone, click to connect, then code appears both on MacBook and iPhone, click to confirm, wait 10-15 seconds and get the message on iPhone that it cannot pair with MacBook Air, and on MacBook I receive and error. Tried restarting, turning tethering on and off, etc - no effect.
I thought that maybe there is something wrong with iPhone s/w, but today I checked with brand new iPhone 4 with 4.0.2 SW - result is exactly the same.
Wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse works on that machine without any problem....
Any clue?
Krzysztof

yes, but it does not refer to iPhone, while problem is clearly related with MacBook - if I could pair another iPhone without problem, then the problem would be within one particular iPhone, wouldn't be?

Cannot pair bluetooth speaker with iPhone 6

My JBL Chrome worked perfectly with my iPhone 5. Now the iPhone 6 will not pair with the speaker, yet I'm able to pair the phone with my car (Infiniti Q50).The guy at the Apple store told me it likely is a bug in ios8. Is this true? Do I have to wait for several updates to restore former functionality. I'm disappointed.

I would try to reset the speaker. If you were able to pair it with the iPhone 5, and you activated the 6 from a backup of the 5, the speaker may be "confused" with a device of the same name. Also, the speaker may not be able to pair with more than one device and needs to be reset. Check the speaker's user guide to see how to reset the device and then put it into discovery/pairing mode again. Then attempt to pair with the phone.
