Problem with bluetooth connection between iPhone 5s iOS 8.1.2 and MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) Yosemite 10.10.1

After the upgrade to iOS 8.1.2 in iPhone 5s and OS X 10.1.1 Yosemite (MacBook Pro Mid 2012) can not connect my iPhone 5s to the MacBook, the iPhone tells me: "The MacBook is incompatible" or the message "Connection Error, Make sure the Mac is turned on and is within range" even the iPhone being close to the Mac. Otherwise with the updated iPad 2 (iOS 8.1.2) is connected via bluetooth to the MacBook without any problems, Even the iPad 2 does not detect the iPhone bluetooth.
Help me please

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

    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • IPhone 5s and MacBook Pro mid 2012 Bluetooth

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is anyone who would offer any help to the issue I'm facing.
    I'm an owner of the following devices:
    iPhone 5s running iOS 8.0.2
    MacBook Pro mid 2012 running Yosemite
    I tried connecting/pairing both devices via Bluetooth to try out the Continuity function but unfortunately I can't get both of the devices to connect. As far as I know, both the devices is compatible to run the Continuity function. Is there anything I'm missing out on? 
    Cheers,
    Heal-me

    You don't pair the devices via bluetooth to use continuity. You don't pair the devices at all.

  • Can't use internet with bluetooth connection between iPhone and macbook

    My iPhone and my macbook both show that I have a successful bluetooth connection, but I can't use the internet on my macbook.  What might be the problem?

    Basic question: Do you have a tethering plan with your carrier? It isn't automatically provisioned; you have to ask for it and pay extra with most carriers. See these tips from Apple:

  • [Q]Problem with Bluetooth connection between Xiaomi Mi Band and Lenovo P780.

    Hello, 
    I bought Mi Band to my Lenovo P780 and I have connection problem. I have paired both devices and everything works well but 10-20 times a day connection is lost. And after I open Mi Fit, app try to connect with phone and do a sync but it can't (long time: "Connecting... Getting info from your band" and after: "Couldn't connect, pull down to retry."). Only after turning Bluetooth off/on app can connect to phone and do syncing. This is very annoying. Always after night the connection between Mi Band and phone is broken. What can I do about this problem? I need have a real-time notifications on Mi Band so I need have stable connection between phone and band all the time. 
    I have Lenovo P780 on 4.4.3 and Xiaomi Mi Band on firmware 1.0.9.0 + Tweaked Mi Fit with notify 1.2.922. But I tried also previous versions of Mi Fit - always the same result. And I tried on Nexus5 rom final, official Lenovo KK rom vibe, Alice Project 7.5 and Alice Project 8.0 roms - always the same result.
    I tried on 2 other phones and bracelete isn’t broken. Everything is ok – stable connection.
    Problem is in Lenovo. What should I do?
    Thank you very much.

    I have a better experience as my microsoft sculpt touch mouse now works fine - before it was always disconnecting.
    Otherwise I have noticed the following with this new update:
    - you have to update the bios version too to maximise the improvement
    - regarding the special settings of my card, and after lots of test, my best setting is :
     Antenna diversity type : 3 (before upgrade of bios, i had no wifi with 3 as value) - it seems it gaves me a slight enhancement
    Bandwith: 20_40
    Selective suspend : enabled (disabled doesn't change anything)
    Selective suspend timeout: 30 (more doesn't change)
    Wifi-config: wifi (that's the real trick, if set to Performance, the drop in performance is impressive)
    in the meanwhile i was typing that i experienced a slight bluetooth connexion drop... less than before, but it's not totally fixed.
    i think alas that the choice of the wifi card is just very bad. I ordered back in 2008 a profesional Dell laptop with a wifi n 2x2 450Mbits minipci. I expected that in 2012-13, an ultrabook without lan connexion and a ssd would at least provide a 2x2 (dual band) 300 Mbits wifi n... but here it's just the cheapest wifi n single band + bluetooth bundle which has been put. The worst is that's an economy of maybe 20€ which is ridiculous on a >1000€ machine.
    Once the guarantee has passed, i think i'll upgrade my machine with a decent minipci wifi card and that's all. At least it seems that the dismounting of the Yoga 13 is quite well documented.

  • I've a problem with bluetooth on my iphone 4

    HI!
    I've a problem with bluetooth on my iphone 4 : it doesn't recognize anything
    what can I do ?

    What do you mean anything?
    IPhone support bluetooth for stereo speakers/headsets, handsfree telephone devices/headsets, some peer-to-peer apps from the app store, some bluetooth keyboards, and tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this, it will not connect to another phone/device/computer.
    Withe what are you trying to connect?

  • Bluetooth connection between iPhone 4 and MacBook Air

    How to enable bluetooth connection between iPhone 4 and MacBook Air?

    I used to be able to connect my iPhone 4 with my 3 yr old MacBook Pro using Bluetooth. I used my iPhone's personal hotspot more then once to access the Internet on my laptop when there was no wireless. I don't get why it wouldn't work with my new MacBook Air. That just seems silly. My laptop found my iPhone and was able to add the device, but then my iPhone wouldn't connect. Is there really no way around this??

  • AirDrop between iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.2 and iMac Yosemite 10.10.1 only working if both have Everyone for AirDrop discovery

    AirDrop between iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.2 and iMac 5k Retina Yosemite 10.10.1 is only working if both have Everyone selected in AirDrop discovery options. If the option is set to Contacts Only in one of them then neither device can see the other.
    Is there a way to limit AirDrop to contacts only and allow both devices to see each other?
    Both are setup with the same iCloud Drive account. I use the iMac to sync iTunes for this phone so the phone does trust this iMac.
    Thanks,

  • Internet connectivity problems with Macbook Pro, mid 2012.

    I have a Macbook Pro, mid 2012, running OS 10.8.5. My able to access the Internet is intermittent, both with Ethernet or Wifi. When I check Network settings, it indicates that I am connected, even though I cannot access the Internet.  I have to restart the compute to gain access again, which doesn't last. I've taken it to the local Apple Store.  They ran thorough diangostics tests which found no hardware problems.  I have done complete clean reinstalls of the OS as well.  I also have frequent Kernel Panic restarts.  I have no problems connecting through my router for my Imac via Ethernet, and wirelessly for a Windows laptop and smartphones and iPod.  Any suggstions out there?

  • My iPad 3 is not charging on my macbook pro mid-2012. It was working yesterday and it is not working now, and I'm trying to transfer files between them. How do I charge my iPad with my macbook without having to be a completely new computer?

    I am trying to transfer files between my ipad 3 and my macbook pro mid-2012 and they will just not connect. I connected them yesterday and it worked fine. And i can not air drop these files into my ipad it has to be done through itunes. And i can not afford to buy a new computer. How do i get these two to connect without having to buy a completely new computer?

    Computer USB ports, regardless of the computer maker, have a relatively low power output and thus are not good chargers. They will charge but it takes a long time. You should be charging your iPad from wall power, or a more powerful source like an in-car charger.
    Buying another computer will not change that.

    You're best bet in this case is to re-install the OS. While doing a re-install will not normally harm your user data having a good working backup in cases like this is essential.
