Unable to connect macbook air with iphone 5s using bluetooth

both the system able to pair the devices but getting disconnected within 1 sec. While same iphone 5s is connected to other bluetooth devices like my car's system.

Correct, Macs and i-devices do not connect via Bluetooth.
What are you trying to accomplish?  There is probably some other way to do it.

  • Connect macbook pro with iphone 5 via bluetooth

    I have macbook pro and Iphone 5 both have bluetooth turned on. When I go in to Macbook Pro I can see my Iphone 5. When I go into my Iphone 5 it shows as discoverable and searching.....What am I doing wrong? The Macbook won't connect and sync with Iphone and vice versa unless I have a usb cable attached.

    Hello bstaab,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  To wirelessly sync your iPhone with iTunes, you need to be connected using a Wi-Fi network.  I found an article that has the steps outlined on how to sync your iPhone wirelessly with iTunes:
    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    You can find the full article here:

    I have somehow the same problem. I just bought the new iPhone 4S and tried to connect it to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6, latest version, model 2011). The Phone did not see the Mac but the Mac the Phone, so I connected the Phone via Mac.
    It worked for about 5 seconds, but then I got this error message:
    It's German and means that the network is not available.
    Of course I tried again to connect, but I now get always this error:
    It says that the device is not available...
    I deleted the iPhone from the list under Mac and tried again, but it's still the same.
    No my Questions to the community:
    Why does the iPhone not see the MacBook?
    Why does it allways disconnect?
    Is Sync not possible via Bluetooth?
    Thanks for your help!

    I am trying to Handoff between my Macbook pro with IPhone 6+, however it is not happening. Even the Bluetooth connectivity is not
    happening between the devices.

    Try going to System Preferences/Bluetooth and then turn it off, wait a few seconds, then turn it on.

  • Pairing macbook air with iPhone 4

  • Connecting macbook air with bose wireless sound link?

    Can someone tell me how to connect a previously paired macbook air to a bose wireless soundlink?  I can pair them, but they will not connect.

    I had the same issue with my macbook air intel i5, latest os, and this is the way it worked for me:
    1.- When you pair for the first time your macbook and your bose soundlink, your soundlink will appear in your Bluetooth menu at the left side list, but it is not conected yet... just recognized... so your soundlink doesnt make the tipical pairing sound...
    2.- So the next step is to Set your Soundlink as Audio Device, in the same Bluetooth menu (below the devices list) just select the Soundlink so it becomes blue and then click on the mesh or gear icon and you,ll get a submenu, then just select Set as Audio Device, and done!
    Please note that even at the time you do that your soundlink is not going to do the pairing sound, you need to start playing music or movies or games to get actually paired, and for some reason if you stop playing it for a few minutes it gets unpaired again and only start again if you play again music, movies or games... kind of anoying because then you will hear the pairing noise very often...
    I hope this help somebody.

  • I can send item from my macbook air to my phone using bluetooth but i can't seem to receive them from my phone it always says sending failed

    I have paired my phone and my macbook air using the bluetooth and I can send files from my macbook air to my phone but I cant seem to send them from my phone to the computer.

    Have you enabled Bluetooth Sharing in the Sharing system preferences pane on your Mac?

  • Connect MacBook Air with my iMac via Wifi

    How can I link my Mac Book air to my iMac, via WiFi, to transfer respectively synchronize data between both of them.
    Thx

    There are a few different ways of getting this accomplished.
    Method 1: Airdrop. If both computers are Airdrop capable, simply enter Airdrop on each computer, wait until they see each other and then connect and share.
    Method 2: WiFi Router. If both computers are on the same WiFi router network and file sharing is enabled on the computers, you can browse the contents of the source computer and copy/move to the target.
    Method 3: Ad Hoc. If no WiFi router is available, you can simply create a wireless ad hoc network on one of the computers and complete the transfers in that manner.
    There are probably a couple other methods out there, but those are the main 3 that come to mind.
    Cheers!

  • Unable to connect to internet with hp laptop using xfinity router/modem

    Hi,I have a hp pavilion computer model dv9910us with windows vista hom premium OS.  I have an xfinity wireless gateway device modem/router.  I have had this at another location and it worked using verizon with a separate modem and router.  I also tried it at a xfinity location with a separate modem and router and it worked.  I got a separate wireless adapter and installed that and disabled the atheros ar5007 adapter in the device manager.  will that atheros 2011 adapter work with this model computer using the windows vista home premium os.  If so, could I leave the ar5007 disabled and install the 2011 to make sure it's ok before uninstalling the ar5007.  I'm really a novice and just stumbling my way through this.  Any help is appreciated.

    Hi: You should enable the atheros wireless card, and install this driver.  It will have no effect on the other one you are using. http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=5060881&swItemId=ob_108905_1&swEnvOid=4059# Then shut down the PC, remove the usb adapter, reboot, and see if you can connect via the atheros card.

    Tried my k3772-z modem to connect macbook air to internet and got the message: you can't use this application with this version of mac os x. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

    I can't help you with a direct answer.  For third-party devices you should contact the vendor (Vodafone). 
    If you have an iPhone (or an Android phone with hot-spot capability) you can use that to connect to the Internet without paying for a separate cellular service.

  • How do I sync my MacBook Air with my iPhone?

    I just purchased a new MacBook Air.  While setting it up, I created a new Apple ID.  Unfortunately, I am now experiencing difficulties when trying to sync my new MacBook Air with my iPhone, which is synchronized to my old Apple ID.  I want all of my information (music, pictures, contacts, etc.) on my new mac.  How can I sync the two devices? (my phone is synchronized with another Mac)  Any help?

    Can you sign into iCloud (System Preferences -> iCloud) on your new Air with the same account you use on your iPhone?

  • HT1941 trying to connect time  apsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port the airport utility doesn't detect it

    trying to connect time  capsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port but the airport utility doesn't detect it but when i put it in the LAN one it does but it doesn't let me configure
    any ideas?

    Isn't it fun trying to do things without an ethernet cable direct to the computer.. Apple sell a usb to ethernet adapter cable fairly cheap.. makes life a lot easier having something to do hard connections.. or as hard as usb can manage.
    Since you have to access the TC by wireless .. press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. don't worry about the ethernet cable.. leave it disconnected.
    Now click on the airport symbol and join another network. The TC should revert to its home name.. which will be a combo of Time Capsule and its MAC address. There is no wireless security and you can do the setup.
