Mac and iPhone don't see each other

This isn't just with Home Sharing, but with other apps that use wifi to connect, specifically iAccounts and iBackup, but I couldn't find a more appropriate community.
My iPhone and MacBook Pro are connected to the same wifi network, one has 192.168.1.64, the other is 192.168.1.65, both can connect to the internet with no problems, both have full signal strength. So why can't they see each other? Sometimes it works, when everything is turned off then back on again, but sometimes that doesn't work. Last time it worked only after I reset my router, which suggests maybe the router is the problem. It's a BT HomeHub 3, which probably doesn't mean much to most of you, so give me general advice. What settings should I look at? Could it have something to do with my Mac connecting via 802.11 N and my iPhone 802.11 G? It's a 3GS, so it can't do N.
Both Mac and iPhone have the latest OS (10.6.8 and 4.3.3).

I stumbled upon the answer by searching other (non-apple support) sites for this problem. Apparently (and non-intuitively), "personal hotspot" (aka internet tethering) must first be enabled before attempting to establish a BT link. The reason I say non-intuitive is:
Firstly, bluetooth is supposed to be a stand-alone wireless networking protocol that doesn't require another wireless network to be available for it to work. What other sort of device (computer or otherwise) requires an existing network to be in place before BT will work?
Secondly, if tethering via personal hotspot is a prerequisite for a BT link, why is there no pop-up message advising of this when BT is turned on? Something like "Hey idiot, you need to turn on personal hotspot before you can establish a bluetooth link!" Or better yet, why not automatically turn on the hotspot when the BT button is switched on?
Thirdly, it really makes the BT shortcut button (in the home screen control center) worthless if you've still got to manually drill down into the settings menu to turn on hotspot anyway.
I scrubbed all apple user support articles related to using BT and pairing the iPhone with iPad that I could find to make sure I hadn't missed this new requirement somewhere - and I don't see it mentioned anywhere (although I'll admit that steam was coming out of my ears while I read it, so I may not have been in the best frame of mind to catch any new information). In the BT troubleshooting article, it mentions every check-this and check-that step but nowhere does it say make sure that personal hotspot is also turned on! I submitted feedback at the bottom of the article; hopefully they'll update it.
Thanks, Lyssa for bearing with me through all of this, which in the end turned out to be a user error. Although I consign myself to some comfort in knowing that this is not how it worked prior to iOS8. And as soon as I can find a phone on iOS7 or older, I'll confirm that.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPads and iPhones don't in the house, just the iPod touch gen 5, entering the password every time is a pain, why can't it have a button to remember password like all the other devises.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPad, and iPhone 4's don't in the house.
Why doesn't it remember the wifi password like the other i devises, it's a bugger entering it in every time.

You late question did get answered:on the 18th of this month. Sounds like you did not like the answers. Starting a new post without mentioning yur first post wastes people time
My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty?

Where don't you see the Photo Stream? On your iPhone/iPad or in iPhoto on your Mac?
In iPhoto on your Mac check, if Photo Stream is still enabled on System Preferences > iCloud and in the iPhoto Preferences "iCloud" tab.

IBook and champagne don't mix!

A few nights ago I spilled a glass of champagne into the keyboard of my iBook G3. ... Don't ask ...
So, here's the thing. It'll start up. I hear the familiar "bong." The cap lock light come on when the key in pressed. The screen is black.
But that's all ... It's sticky (but not dripping) under the keyboard, and so far I've been unable to dig any deeper - mostly because of a few stubborn screws that won't come loose.
I've tried everything I can think of: Firewire boot to my G4, rebooting PRAM.
I hate to lose this little sucker. It's not a huge data loss. Most everything's on one of my other two Macs.
Is there any hope?

Hi, Jim. Welcome to Apple Discussions, but so sorry this is what has brought you here.
Is there any hope?
Probably not much. It likely took out the logic board and/or the display.
Disassembly instructions can be found here:
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/50.0.0.html
and here:
http://www.powerbooktech.com/knowledge,type-6.htm
You may want to try taking it apart and gently wiping off the stickiness with a slightly damp lint-free cloth or Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (just the very end dampened with distilled water and any excess water squeezed out). Leave it apart for several days to dry off completely, but put it somewhere where it won't be subjected to dust. (No heat or fans; air dry only.)
Then reassemble it and cross your fingers and hope for best when you push the power button. I am not optimistic.
Sending it in to a recovery service would probably cost more than it would be worth, and none guarantee that they can get it up and running again. You could be out big bucks and still not have it working. If you had important files with no back up, it might be worth it, but from what you've indicated about your situation, I won't even bother giving you a link.
On the bright side, those new MacBooks look pretty nice. You've given yourself a perfect excuse to upgrade.
Good luck.

TS3899 Since download of ios7.0.4ipad and iPhone don't sync hotmail account. I have un installed email account on both devices still not syncing also now unable to view email folders

Since I downloaded iOS 7.0.4 onto iPad and iPhone hotmail account won't sync. I have un installed the hotmail account on both and reinstalled. Still won't sync and now cannot view email folders

When you reinstall, set it up as an Outlook account instead of "other". Everything synced when I did that.

Bumper and Dock don't mix

Warning, the dock and bumpers for the iPhone 4 don't work together which is a real pity.
I bought both and no have to decide do I use the dock or the bumper.
The bumper is not going to last being removed and replaced every few days.

Super glue and iPhone do not mix

My iPhone (original) took a two story fall a couple of weeks ago. (forgot to button my shirt pocket and leaned over a railing) The Vaja case took the brunt of the fall, but the black plastic on the bottom of the phone cracked and started to separate from the steel rim around the screen. So, today I got out the super glue. It was an old tube of super glue, partly hardened. In order to get any out, I had to cut the nozzle back several times, and it was still hard to squeeze out, until it all came out at once. About a teaspoon of that nasty stuff came out, half all over my right hand, and the other half all over my iPhone, on the screen, on the little round push button at the bottom of the screen, on the speakers. Sigh. Five seconds earlier I'd been thinking, I really ought to try this with a new tube.
Super glue does not come off skin easily, and now my phone won't sync and although I can hear phone calls, the mic is toast.
At least I'll get the 3 G tomorrow . . .

I have not had any problems with Aperture and/or Time Machine. However, Aperture is not TM smart so you can't recover individual photos. Not sure it ever will be considering the power of Vaults in Aperture. I would use it more for a complete recovery of your library if ever needed. Aperture Vaults don't store previews so it would be much faster to use TM than to regenerate an entire library of previews after a Vault restore.
My 150GB initial backup took less than 1 hour to an internal SATA II drive. You should turn off Spotlight for the TM drive. This is done in System Preferences in the Privacy section of Spotlight preferences. There is no reason for Spotlight on the TM drive and it will really drag the system down, even during the hourly incremental backups as it tends to create endless loops. You should do this immediately after initializing the TM drive or at least prior to turning on TM.
Hope this helped!

IPhoto '08 and '06 don't mix?????

just bought my beautiful new iMac 2.4gmz, 20", of course it has iLife '08...I have set up a network with my mini by the stereo and TV, so I can show slide shows of photos from the shared iPhoto library for guests(to bore them and get them to leave). The iMac has apprently done some "rearranging" of the files and left its mark on them, so that I can no longer access the iPhoto library with the mini becuase it is iPhoto '06, and the iMac has '08 "a newer version". Is there any alternative to buying iLife '08 for a computer that will be barely used?

No, there is no way that v6 can read a v7 library.

Blackberry Bluetooth and Macs don't mix

One of the best features I had with a Nokia smartphone was how effortlessly it would sync with my bluetooth macintosh using iSync. Just absolutely painless.
The Blackberry Pearl has bluetooth -- but it won't communicate with a Mac with either Missing Sync or PocketMac. This seems such a natural fit (yes, even if one is supposed to use USB to keep the BB charged).
RIM -- there is so much potential here. Please don't let the opportunity go by.

Its true, Bluetooth communication with Pocketmac and BlackBerry isn't currently supported. As you say, it'd be nice if that'd change in the future. Honestly, I'd be suprised if it didn't.
I have talked with Mac users who have had sucess transfering thier Address book to the Mac, but bidirectional communication generally dosn't work.

IMail and iPhone don't act the same.

Hi,
I have the same problem. I hoped, that the advantage to flash is, that there is no difference between preview and publish (no compiler - you work directly with the html and js files). But there is. Here is my topic with examples. Thanks for any help.

So the question is: What is the difference between the preview files and publish files (except obfuscated javascrip). What are the reasons not to upload the preview files directly?

Graphite and Leopard don't mix?

I live out in dialup land (no affordable broadband providers in much of my service area).
I have a client who has an old Graphite base station that was working with her machine previously, but wanted me to change the phone number it called. Her machine could see and use the base station, but the Airport Admin Utility on her machine wouldn't even admit its existence.
I had the "Airport Utility for Graphite or Snow" on mine, which I used to reconfigure the base station. (The interface was maddening -- I could not see how it was already configured, all I could do was reconfigure the entire thing from scratch every time.) When I got done, the base station was working fine, but she could not log onto it using the correct password.
I discovered that I couldn't log onto it either, unless I used "Airport Utility for Graphite or Snow" which processed the passwords fine and had the side-effect of connecting my Airport card to it as if it were going through some kind of back door. But if I shut off my Airport Card then turned it back on, it would not allow me access any more. I tried both "WEP" and "WEP 40 ASCII" with no joy.
I didn't load any new firmware into the base station, at least as far as I know. What is going on?

Thank you.
Correction to my original post: the utility I had on hand was "AirPort SETUP Assistant for Graphite or Snow," which I assume explains why it would write but not read the AirPort configuration. I have since collected both the "AirPort Admin Utility" (4.2) and the "AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow," which I did not have with me during that service call, and feel pretty confident that one or the other of these will address her problem tomorrow. I will also remove the preferences as you suggest.
If all else fails, I will simply disable her network password, as she lives pretty much out in the back end of squat, and I doubt there is anyone in a position to poach off her dial-up connection.
My client reports that she is able to get on the network by using Network Diagnostics every time she wants to connect. I have seen this symptom reported by others in these discussions. I also noticed that the AirPort selection software kept insisting that base station was "not a preferred network" even though it appears in the table of preferred networks (I did check carefully for subtle typos). Since only tools that pick up the SSID by themselves tend to work (as opposed to typing in the SSID), one thing I intend to check is that there is no hidden space at the end of the network SSID that may be causing such symptoms.

Pages and iTunes don't mix

All of my Macs (2) are freezing when I have Pages 2 and iTunes open. I can run all day long w/o iTunes and Pages behaves, but when it is on, Pages is off. Anyone else having these issues?

Hello ballesco,
128 mb is not enough to have running the system, Pages, iTunes and perhaps Dashboard apps at the same time. By the way, Dashboard can be a real RAM and performance eater, especially if you are using a lot of the apps.
I have disabled the entire Dashboard app for better work performance. If you want do disable Dashboard, too, follow this link: http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macosxhints/2005/08/disabledashboard/index.php. After that you can enable Dashboard whenever you want.
But you should install more RAM if you want to work with large documents or with several apps at the same time. 512 mb is a must have. How much you need depends on what you want to do with your Mac. The more graphic intense and the greater file sizes, the more RAM you will need.

Outlines in Word Processor, numbers and bullets don't mix?

I'm writing a meeting adenga in an outline form. I want the main topics to be numbered, sub-topics to be bulleted, and sub-subtopics to have diamond bullets.
For some reason, the following (as an example) happens. I've created a list of 7 main topics. I add subtopics to topic # 5, which are by default also numbered instead of bulleted. As soon as I change the label style on these subtopics to bullets, topic # 6 is re-labeled # 1, topic # 7 becomes # 2, etc.
I need to make my sub-topics bulleted without affecting the numbering of the main topics. What's happening?

When you add a label (eg. Number) to a paragraph, you are setting a Style for that paragraph. The Style is inherited by subseqent paragraphs until a new style is set.
When you change the label, you are resetting the Style of the selected paragraph(s). This change breaks the chain of 'subsequent paragraphs', and the count is reset.
Rather than a Paragraph style (such as Number or Bullet), you could use one of the three Outline styles (Harvard, Diamond, or Legal) which do allow marking subtopics without affecting the numbering of the main topic list. Unfortunately, none of the three will give the topic marking pattern you want.
You can get (almost) what you want by not creating new 'paragraphs', and by manually inserting the bullets and diamonds.
AppleWorks considers every return character to mark the end of a paragraph, and any character following a return (other than another return, and probably a small set of other characters) to be the first character of a new paragraph.
To start a new line without starting a new 'paragraph', use a line feed (soft return), made by pressing shift-return.
Follow the shift-return with a tab to indent the subtopic, then option-8 for the bullet.
For the second level of subtopics, use shift-return, tab, tab, shift-option-V.

Barry
