Trouble with bluetooh connection between iPhone 4 and MacBook Air

I cannot connect bluetooth bewteen iPhone 4 an MacBook Air. Any suggestions?
Thnks in advance

The only supported connection between an iPhone and a computer is for tethering (hotspot/sharing phone's cellular internet connection) and that is only if it is supported by your cellular plan. More information:

  • 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??

  • Lost connection between airport extreme and macbook air when transferring large files

    Can anyone help...?
    I have an imac and macbook air wirelessly connected to a airpot extreme being used as a router with a hard drive for sharing files accross the network.
    It connects ok but when we try and look at a number of large files one after the other, or copy files from the shared hard drive onto the macbook air, the macbook loses wireless connection?
    A very strange issue which i cant figure out....
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Shirmy

    It could be a wireless interference or strength of wireless signal issue.
    What happens when you connect the MacBook Air to the router via an Ethernet connection?

  • Having trouble with syncing calendars between iPhone 5s, iPad, MacBook Pro after changing apple id

    I signed out of an old apple id on my iPhone 5s and signed in with a current apple id.  Backed up my iPhone to the cloud.  After this, I lost the calendar information on my MacBook Pro (Phone and MacBook Pro used to have calendars that were synced).  I also signed in to an iPad with this current apple id.  I have checked the apple id that I am signed into on all 3 devices (iPhone 5s, MacBook Pro, iPad 2) and it is the same on all 3.  The phone has my calendar info.  The MacBook Pro and the iPad are blank, but they do communicate because I can send a test appointment and it will show up on the MacBook Pro and the iPad but not the phone.
    Contacts were not affected.  I have the contacts on all three devices. 
    I have gone thru most of the troubleshooting on the apple website.
    Help!

    I just tried and it says that it's not available But I do not have another Apple ID. "This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID." The only thing I did that started this nightmare was go into Apple ID and click edit for email and enter the new one. That's it. 
    Because your old AppleID is used used an you alternate email.
    Remove it as your alternate email.

  • Thethering between iPhone 3gs and MacBook Air wont work!

    I have used thethering between my iPhone 3gs and old MacBook without ever having any problems, but last week i bought a new MacBook Air and thethering doesn't work anymore.
    When I try through USB it says in my internet settings on MacBook that iPhone is not connected - it is tho, cos it works fine with iTunes and iPhoto. If i try via Bluetooth the first steps of connecting works fine, but after it's connected a popup window comes up on my phone saying my MacBook Air is not supported, and connection is lost.
    Any suggestions?
    Would be grateful for any help since this is my only internet source at the moment...

  • I can connect my Iphone 6 and Ipad Air to my Bose Soundlink but not my IMac.  I have tried all the usual solutions but nothing works.  It has worked recently but not in the last week. Help

    make sure it's not being connected to by any of the other two
    one can only connect 1 device at the time and just by waking up sometimes a headset connects to a device
    automaticly
    then forget the bluetooth device in OS X and put the headset in pairing mode / discovery mode and connect with it once again with the mac

  • 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.

    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

  • HT204368 Problems with connectivity between iPhone 4S and Jawbone!!

    I have a Jawbone bluetooth headpiece. Recently I have had problems with intermittent connectivity with my iPhone 4S. The Jawbone is searching for the phone but sometimes it doesn't connect and when it does it will lose the connection after a few seconds. This is a serious problem since I use it when I'm travelling on business. I have installed the latest software updates in both devices, unpaired and repared and also reset the Jawbone. Any ideas?

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore
    Follow the 3R's- if a restart does not solve your problem proceed
    User troubleshooting is:
    1.restart, ie power off/on,
    2. reset  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430,
    3. restore from backup, restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
