What can I do using bluetooth with my macbook pro

I paired my macbook pro with my iPhone 5s but can't do anything else. tell me it doesn't have the necessary services??

The only thing you can do with Bluetooth on a MacBook/iPhone combination is tether (i.e., hotspot / use the phone's cellular connection as a data source for internet on the MacBook)

  • Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    3-D is very memory intensive.
    System requirements | Photoshop
    Mac OS
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
    2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
    ** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
    Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM

  • I got a new 25" LG ultra wide monitor and would love to use it with my macbook pro Late 2011. I can't get the resolution to the recommended 2560x1080. Can anyone help?

    I got a new 25" LG ultra wide monitor and would love to use it with my macbook pro Late 2011. I can't get the resolution to the recommended 2560x1080. Can anyone help?

    I found a similar question on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/2560x1080-resolution-macbook-resolution-option-/forum/Fx15 6DUSW1J104N/Tx14L2NHT4Y3F8K/1/ref=cm_cd_ql_tlc_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B00JM99DIU
    It looks like you may need a mini-displayport to Displayport cable. You can also try holding the option key while clicking on "scaled" to see if the option you need comes up.

  • I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro

    I had a nasty suprise I paid out over £1500.00 to be told that I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro.
    the reason for buying a Mac is that the windows 7 machine is in little bits so how do I sync that.  there is no music on this Mac pro and if I try to sync my phone it wants to wipe my phone That is Pants!
    <Re-Titled by Host>

    FTFY (for readability):
    "I had a nasty surprise, when after having paid out over £1500.00, I learned that I am unable to sync my phone (unidentified model) with my new MacBook Pro (unidentified model).
    The reason I bought the Mac was due to the fact that my former computer, a Windows 7 machine, has been damaged beyond repair.
    There is no music currently loaded onto my new Mac, and when I try to sync the data on my Mac to my phone (unidentified model) I am prompted with a warning that my phone data will be wiped clean. This is not good!"
    Okay, so I'm just being a little cheeky here - no offense intended.
    Details are always best when seeking assistance, however. Try not to make others do the work for you. Take the time to do it yourself.
    What model of Mac do you have?
    What version of OSX are you using?
    What version of iTunes are you using for syncing purposes?
    What model of phone are you using and what software version is installed on it?
    Try to better articulate the steps you are performing and the warnings that you are encountering.
    Best of luck.

  • HT2506 I'm using Preview with a MacBook Pro and MacOS 10.6.8. When adjusting sharpness in the Adjust Colour tool, images are not saved. Any hint? Thanks.

    I too experienced the same issue.  Here are my details:
    Recently I bought a 15” Macbook Pro and last night I tried to connect and use a Edirol FA/66 Firewire 400 connected outboard audio interface using a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter then connected to a Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter since the MBP doesn’t have a native Firewire port.  What I observed is that the Edirol was not getting power from the bus nor did the MBP (running Yosemite) recognize the Edriol.  At first I thought there was a problem with the Edirol since I haven’t used it in a while but when I connected it to an older MBP that has a native Firewire port, it worked normally.  Is there a known issue with these sorts of external audio interfaces working properly with newer MBP running Yosemite?  I’m hoping that a software update will fix this issue.

  • HT201300 What cable should be used to connect a macbook pro, 13 inch early 2011 model to an external projector so it will display the computer screen image through the projector?

    What cable should be used to connect a macbook pro, 13 inch, early 2011 model to an external projector so the project displays the image on the computer screen?

    You will need a cable or adapter with a minidisplay connection for the MBP.  That will be inserted in the Thunderbolt port.  The other end is dependent upon the connections of the projector which you have not listed.
    Ciao.

  • I can't sync my iPhone with my macbook pro?

    its a long story but what happened was a few months ago in June of 2014 I found out my macbook pro had a virus. I have had my mac for almost a year before June so I had synced my iPhone which was running 7.0.6 and still is since I haven't updated my iPhone to iOS 8. So the only way to get rid of the virus I had to erase my entire mac. I basically returned it to factory settings. I lost all my data. Lucky I saved some of my data on an external hard drive. Now fast forward to today Nov 27 and I had downloaded music from iTunes on the same iPhone and i wanted to sync my music on iTunes and my mac is running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and it says that my iPhone 5s is synced with another computer but in reality its the same computer its just I restarted my mac to factory settings. I've tried going online to see if there's a way to bypass it and trick my iPhone into thinking its syncing the with the same iTunes cause thats the reason it won't sync with two computers but my problem is I'm using the same mac and i can't find a way to fix my problem. PLEASE HELP ME.

    Can you be a little more specific? Do you mean you have set the sync options on the Device pages, Clicked Sync and it does not work, or you can't find the sync pages.

  • What web cam(s) actually work with my macbook pro? (os10 ver 10.6.8)

    What is the best (out of the box running) web cam for a macbook pro? ( I'm running os10.6.8)  Little background below:
    Man I'm confused!  I see that the logitech c910 web cam works with the mac but then I also see that it only "sort of " works..... huh??  I got my macbook pro because its software instantly recognized me as the dummy.  Very "turn key" user friendly stuff with the MAC and great for music stuff which is what I do for a living.  One of my jobs is part time guitar instructor at a community college and I'm hoping to create digested vids of the sessions to help students that miss class.  I'd like to edit the videos in imovie and have some text/music stuff on the screen as well.  I knew there would be a little learning curve and it would take a while to get comfortable but I can't even get the camera to get started!   Any suggestions would help.  Especially from anyone who has done guitar stuff before i.e. youtube etc....thanks

    I am embarrassed how simple that was.  I did warn you that I'm technologically challenged; I'm pretty sure that proved it.
    The external hard drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The link you provided indicates the external drive will work with Time Machine.  I've never worked with Time Machine and don't know what my next step should be.  Would you please walk me through it?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.  From the points you have accumulated, I can tell you have helped many others and I thank you for your generosity.

  • Can I run two displays with my Macbook Pro?

    I have the early 2011 Macbook Pro, with the 256mb ram on the graphics card, and what I think was the first generation "Thunderbolt" video output. I'm currently running a single 27"Cinema Display using a mini-display port adaptor out. I'm wondering if there's a way to drive two monitors with it - say a Thunderbolt display and the current Cinema Display? What configuration of displays, adaptors, and/or cables would I need to do this?
    Thanks!

  • Aperture 2,how can I share one vault with my MacBook Pro and G5?

    I want to run Aperture 2, on my MacBook Pro and G5, I want to keep all images on an external Firewire drive. I would also store the vault there as well. I want to be able to have the choice to work on the my photos on my MacBook Pro, take the external Firewire hard drive with me and work on my photos, then when I come home I want all of those changes reflected back on m G5 when I open it, and updated the vault.
    I this possible, if so how do I accomplish my task.
    Thank in advance for reading and replying to my post.
    Sebastian

    I want all images stored in a single Library that will be accessed on my G5 & MacBook Pro, but I want to create a single Vault and when changes are made to my Library from either system, when I go to other other systems they are reflected there, with a warning that my Vault needs to be updated. This is my goal, this is how I envision having both systems using the same Library and same Vault.
