What will pairing my iPhone and Macbook allow me to do?

Just curious what capabilities I should have after pairing my iPhone and Macbook??
I was able to pair them after 3.0, where prior I was not, so is there any advantage besides for tethering (which I know is not available yet, relax)
I appreciate any help in advance, thanks.

Bluetooth file transfer is not supported, so I can't imagine any reason you'd want the iPhone and Macbook paired until tethering becomes available.

  • What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?

    What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?  I've been having to key in changes to both devices because sync doesn't sync. 

    If you really are running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and iOS 6.1.3, you should be able to sync through iTunes, but in current releases you need to use a central contact service like iCloud.
    Did you have it working and then not working, or have you never had it working?
    Are you trying to use iTunes, iCloud, or something else?

    At a guess you have cable internet connection.. please confirm exactly what you have.. two public IPs are allowed by some ISP.. once you use up the two IPs, there are no more..
    Make sure the TC is in router mode. And to get it working you probably need to shut off the cable modem.. if it has battery backup remove the battery.. try 5min off .. if not long enough try 20min off. then overnight. The ISP equipment must reset to allow a new MAC address to capture the IP.
    If you cannot work it out.. plug in the old router again.. and set the TC to bridge mode.. which I suspect it is in now.. and plug it into the main router.. it should work fine like that.

  • Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this?

    Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this? While Apple's headphones have (finally) admittedly gotten better of late, I still prefer the much more comfortable headphones & sound quality that Bose makes and that I spent the money for.

    You should have been syncing your contact with your computer all along.  Just sync them from the computer to the new iphone.

  • I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together.  I receive all my emails on the macbook and iphone just fine, but don't receive all emails on my ipad.  Some go to Trash because it says they're improperly formatted.  What gives?

    I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together, which generally works fine.  I receive all emails from senders in my address book in my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but some end up in Trash on my iPad, with the message, "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted.  Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program.  text/plain"  They appear to be mainly from competing platforms, android, etc.  Is there a workaround for this problem?
    Thanks-

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

  • Can't synchronise mails of iphone and macbook pro

    I receive my mails on my iphone and Macbook pro. If I download the mails on my iphone first and I open them, they will not be downloaded on my macbook pro. If I download them on my iphone but I don’t open them they will downloaded on my ibook pro. What do I have to change on my settings in order to have the syncronized?
    Thanks

    That's normal behavior for a POP3 email account. If your email provider supports IMAP, set the account up as an IMAP account on both the Mac and the iPhone. IMAP supports synchronization between clients and the server. POP3 does not.

  • ICal and contact duplicates in my iPhone and MacBook

    Hi,
    I have seen other discussions related to this subject but I can't seem to fix it. I have duplicates in my iPhone and MacBook of both iCal events and contacts. I am probably doing something wrong because if I add an event on my MacBook it will appear (fast enough!) in my iPhone, but it will not work the other way. Same thing with contacts. It is a bit of a nightmare and I would like to be able to have things once and automatically synced... if possible, of course, but I assumed this is what iCloud was about.
    Can anyone with this stuff under control give me a hand?
    Much appreciated

    Your iPhone can take a screen-capture by holding down the bottom 'HOME' button
    for 2-3 seconds, and then depressing the top 'RESET' button momentarily while
    continuing to hold down 'HOME'. You will see a simulated white 'flash' on the iPhone
    screen, and the screen capture will appear as a photo in your latest Camera Roll.
    Unintended shots can be deleted from the Camera Roll just like any photo you might
    take using the iPhone's camera.

  • 'connection timed out' on both iphone and macbook air

    The box for the internet is in my housemates room so I can't get in to restart it (if that would fix it). They're all gone for a week so I can't check with them to see if they have the same problem. I'm asuming they would since it's happening on both my iphone and macbook. But what can I do to fix it? I've looked on line but can't get anythign to solve my problem. I've deleted the network from the computer. That doesn't help. I'm at a McDonald's fixing to solve the problem. Please help me, I really need internet for some work I have to do this weekend.  Please make it simple because I'm not good with computers.
    I bought my macbook air in march 2012, I think it came with Lion.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi there,
    There may be a conflict between the network settings and your devices. I would recommend taking a look at the article below and comparing that to your routers current settings.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If home sharing isn't enabled on the Apple TV, you will need the aluminium remote that came with it to do so.

  • HT204291 Airplay Icon lost from both my iPhone and Macbook Air

    I've lost the Airplay Icon from both my iPhone and Macbook Air, so I assume there's something up with my AppleTV setup (connected via LAN ).
    Airplay was working fine until recently.I've checked all settings and they seem ok. Anyone any further ideas?
    All other functions work ok, streaming video off the net , playing iTunes (installed on Macbook Air) from AppleTV etc
    I've just lost Airplay from 2 devices.
    AppleTV was updated in the last few days, but the Icon was lost before that.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Doug

    OK. Solved !
    A simple reboot of my modem/router (the fibre one from BT - BT Infinity) fixed this for
    both my iPhone and Macbook Air.
    I can also mirror my iPhone screen to the AppleTV now too.
    (mirroring only worked from my Macbook Air before)
    That must be a new feature. Excellent !
    I guess I should have tried that before, but maybe this will help someone

  • Can I pair my iPhone and iPad so I can put the phone in my bag and take calls threw the iPad like the ASUS

    Can I pair my iPhone and iPad so I can put the phone in my bag and take calls threw the iPad like the new ASUS tablet/phone combo ?
    As a Quadriplegic I keep dropping my mouth stick on the ground and I fumble for my phone when it rings the table on my wheelchair is cluttered with my iPad iPhone mouth stick and TV and AC remotes I want to be able to put my iPhone in my bag and receive calls threw the iPad.
    All new electric wheelchairs allow you to pair the joystick or chin control of the chair to only one device so currently you have to sacrifice your use of one to use the other if we can pair the iPhone and iPad by wifi we can then sit the iPad in a mount on our wheelchairs and pair it ia bluetooth and operate them with ease .
    Can anyone out there help me or pass on my needs to a development team within Apple, please help as I don't want to have to buy the ASUS tablet/phone
    Paul

    I would like to be able to do this also but, i'm not sure how to set my iPad to manually sync for one thing and also, when I connect my iPad to my new (recently purchased,first time,new to this) iMac it only gives me the option to either set up as 'new' or 'restore to my recent iPhone back up'. I just want them to be separate. How can I fix this please?
