Pairing iphone 6 and macbook pro with bluetooth
I have an iPhone 6 and a new MacBook Pro Retina and cannot pair my device with BlueTooth. I do have handoff working so I know they are communicating.
Why can't I use blueTooth to move files from one device to another?
Use airdrop to transfer files. Bluetooth is only for tethering your phone.
Hope this helps.

STILL not able to pair iPhone and Mac Pro via bluetooth. Really, Apple?
Honestly, I thought Mavericks would usher in a new era and that we'd finally be able to pair our APPLE iphones to our APPLE desktops via bluetooth. I know I can connect via USB but I don't happen to have the cord on me and it just doesn't make any sense that bluetooth is not an option in this day and age.
Apple, with all of the amazing things you are doing, why on earth can I still not connect two of your most widely used devices? Why do your computers "talk" to other-brand bluetooth devices, but not your own iphone?
I have an iphone 4s running iOS 7 and a Mac Pro running Mavericks 10.9.3. All suggestions welcome...anything I'm missing here?Thanks Allan...just wanted to be sure there was nothing new that I was missing. And hoping the Geniuses see comments like these and pay attention to them. It seems so nonsensical and so "un-Apple" to still not support such a basic way of connecting their devices.

IPhone 5s and Macbook Pro via Bluetooth??
For some reason I cannot connect my iPhone 5s with my new Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display. On both my iPhone and Macbook Pro bluetooth menus they come up but when I am on my iPhone it keeps saying, "Macbook is not supported." Why is this????
Other than Internet tethering, BT file transfer is not supported.

Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id
Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id
When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs. -
I connected to home share on my ipad iphone and macbook pro now it's asking me to turn on home share on the apple tv but I have no other remote, any ideas?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If home sharing isn't enabled on the Apple TV, you will need the aluminium remote that came with it to do so. -
I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together, which generally works fine. I receive all emails from senders in my address book in my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but some end up in Trash on my iPad, with the message, "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted. Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program. text/plain" They appear to be mainly from competing platforms, android, etc. Is there a workaround for this problem?
Thanks-POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap" -
IPhone and MacBook Pro but only have one Apple account
Brand new to the MacBook Pro world. First Apple laptop (or Apple computer at all for that matter) so of course I have some questions. I think I am correct in saying that basically each Apple device has to be separate and apart from another even if they reside in the same household. Meaning that each one has to be logged on to a separate and unique Apple account and email address for things like Facetime and iMessage to work properly. So, with that said......If I personally own the iPhone and MacBook Pro but only have one Apple account how can I make them both work separately and independent of each other??? The problem I've noticed is that Facetime and iMessage do not work and conflict with each of the two devices.
Hi BigDisMe,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Congratulations, and welcome to the Mac World. Actually, you can use an Apple ID, together with iCloud to make your devices work together. Both devices can be connected to the same Apple ID, and use Facetime, Messages, and email together.
As long as both of your devices are updated to the latest OS, OS X 10.9 Mavericks for your MacBook and iOS 7.0.4 for your iPhone, you can:
On Mac:
1. Open System Preferences-iCloud
2. There should be a button somewhere that says, "Add Account".
3. Use your Apple ID to log in.
4. Make sure to enable your Messages, Facetime, and email accounts.
5. There is no Step 5.
On iPhone:
1. Open Settings-iCloud.
2. There should be a button somewhere that says, "Add Account".
3. Use your Apple ID to log in.
4. Make sure to enable your Messages, Facetime, and email accounts.
5. There is no Step 5.
Good Luck,

Looking for a Dictation App for my Iphone and MacBook Pro.
Want to send all dictation to Word.
I have Dragon. Should I purchase Dragon Premium or Dragon for Mac?Care to share which OS you are using?
OS has its own dictation program.
Should I purchase Dragon Premium or Dragon for Mac?
Only you can make that determination. Read the system requirements for both and read the reviews. -
time capsule only allows 2 devices at a time as a router. If I am using the iphone and macbook pro, it bumps the roku offline. Any suggestions?
At a guess you have cable internet connection.. please confirm exactly what you have.. two public IPs are allowed by some ISP.. once you use up the two IPs, there are no more..
Make sure the TC is in router mode. And to get it working you probably need to shut off the cable modem.. if it has battery backup remove the battery.. try 5min off .. if not long enough try 20min off. then overnight. The ISP equipment must reset to allow a new MAC address to capture the IP.
If you cannot work it out.. plug in the old router again.. and set the TC to bridge mode.. which I suspect it is in now.. and plug it into the main router.. it should work fine like that. -

What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?
What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike? I've been having to key in changes to both devices because sync doesn't sync.
If you really are running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and iOS 6.1.3, you should be able to sync through iTunes, but in current releases you need to use a central contact service like iCloud.
Did you have it working and then not working, or have you never had it working?
Are you trying to use iTunes, iCloud, or something else? -
Can't synchronise mails of iphone and macbook pro
I receive my mails on my iphone and Macbook pro. If I download the mails on my iphone first and I open them, they will not be downloaded on my macbook pro. If I download them on my iphone but I don’t open them they will downloaded on my ibook pro. What do I have to change on my settings in order to have the syncronized?
ThanksThat's normal behavior for a POP3 email account. If your email provider supports IMAP, set the account up as an IMAP account on both the Mac and the iPhone. IMAP supports synchronization between clients and the server. POP3 does not.

Getting photos to iPad 1 and iPhone from macbook pro with icloud.
Icloud seems fine - except my photos are not showing up on IPad 1 or iPhone. Macbook pro is running Lion 10.7.2 and the other two devices have iOS 5.0.1. I've checked all three have photos switched 'on' for icloud.
What am I doing wrong?
Its sunny here in Whitstable today!Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you added any photos to Photostream on your macbook pro. -
WiFi connectivity between iPhone and MacBook Pro
Hello.
I was wondering if someone can lend a hand, here. I looked at some of the other posts on a similar problem, but figured I'd just confuse the issue. Here's my problem.
I'm using a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with 8GB and 1067 MHz DDR3. Running 10.8.2 I'm using a recording suite known as Digital Performer 7.24. I have an iPhone 4 with an app called DP Control, that talks to the recording software on the MacBook -or it's supposed to. The app basically has some of the keys on the MacBook software side of things like rewind, fast forward, record, pause etc. It allows you to step away from the laptop, and enable the laptop software. For example: If you're sitting at a drumset for instance, you can enable recording by hitting keystrokes on the iphone app, rather than hitting record on your laptop, and running back to the drumset -you get it. Anway, the laptop and the iphone don't talk to each other. I'm thinking this has something to do with my MacBook and not the app. I have an iMac that can see the app no problem. It's with the MacBook that i have the issues with. I contacted the software developer, but they couldn't help me. I even contacted the developer of the app itself, and to no avail. I figure this is something on the Mac side of things that hopefully someone here can help me with.
The app connects to the computer via wifi and NOT Bluetooth. So bluetooth has been disabled. I have also deactivated the firewall per the app's instructions, and to no avail. I'm guessing it has to do something with security settings somewhere, or some sort of deep-rooted permission thing. I don't know.
The only thing I can think of is that at one point, i did delete a user and had to start over with the whole admin privileges thing. I don't know if this would be significant or not.
Thanks for reading!Well, it seems like I fixed it by enabling port forwarding in advanced, enabling zero config in device directory, and then restarting both devices. Not sure exactly what it did, but now I can wifi sync. So I'm pretty happy!
