White A1016 wireless keyboard not pairing with new MacBook Pro

I still have (and love) the original white bluetooth Mac keyboard (model A1016, with numeric keypad and function keys). It won't pair to my new MacBook Pro. It's discoverable, appears in the list, I can select it and try to pair. Then it sits with the spinning wheel for some time before giving up.
Oddly, if I press "return" during the spinning, it (very) briefly displays the passcode, but of course by then it's too late, and fails saying that I got the passcode wrong!
This appears to be a Bluetooth system preference problem - is anyone else seeing this?
This Apple technote suggests that this keyboard should work with iOS, whereas the original aluminium one doesn't (although it's not entirely clear)... if it works with iOS, I can't see why it won't work with OS X 10.8.4!

My old Bluetooth Mighty Mouse won't work with my newer MBP running Mountain Lion, either. I suspect that the keyboard is incompatible with your new machine/OS X 10.8.x.

Wireless keyboard not pairing with IMac while mouse

I am having trouble with the wireless keyboard entering my password when booting up. It will not let me enter any characters. My wireless mouse & trackpad seem to work fine. Right now I am submitting this issue through my Ipad (3rd Gen) using the same keyboard that will not pair with my IMac. I called Apple tech yesterday and he had me remove the new batteries from the keyboard and depress the power button for one minute, then replace the batteries and power up the Imac. That solution seemed to work yesterday. Last evening i shut the machine down and tried to start today and had the same issue. The keyboard is working fine with this Ipad and had no trouble recognizing it on bluetooth. Has anybody had this same problem, I was considering purchasing a USB apple keyboard until I tried the keyboard with a different device (my ipad)

How did you get on? My brother is having a similar problem, he bought a replacement wireless keyboard which is not recognized by/paired with his iMac and thus he can't login..

WD External Hard drive not working with new Macbook Pro

I have recently upgraded to a new Macbook Pro and when connecting a WD 1 TB Passport external hard drive, it doesn't appear on the MBP, but when I connect it to my old Macbook running 10.5.8, it appears normally. Is this a problem with formatting or an issue because it is USB 2.0...
Any help appreciated as I have a lot of data on the hard drive and would like to be able to use it with my new MBP.

I'm on Lion, with similar issues with two WD external HD. But what I found fixed the problem was to:
1. go to the manufacturer's website (in this case Western Digital),
2. locate my external HD, download the download.
For instance, I downloaded the WD Drive Utilities for Mac (for My Passport for Mac USB 3.0):
http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=219&sid=157&lang=en
Install the downloaded app.
3. Plug in external (this part, I think is important) directly into your tower or laptop (as opposed to through a USB multi-plug extender). Possibly this is because you access more power?
[I'm trying to remember in which order everything happened. But I think at this point the external hard drive mounted]
4. Install the software that is found on the external HD (in my case, it was a brand new device, so that had never been installed).
5. Run "WD Drive Utilities" and run diagnostics.
6. Test to see if it holds. Unmount the External HD. Unplug. Replug in and see if it mounts.
Note: I have not yet tested to see if plugging in the external somewhere other than directly into the tower also works. But I think the main problem is getting it to mount the first time and installing the software. That's what I think.

Toneport UX2 not working with new MacBook Pro 10.6.2 Snow Leopard

I do some casual recording using a Line 6 Toneport UX2. Previously i was recording on an older Mac Mini. Recently i upgraded to a new Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)
The new Macbook is not responding at all when i plug in my toneport, all the software for the toneport is installed.
I think the problem is that my toneport is not compatible with an intel Mac. Is this right?
And if it is can i fix this problem with some kind of upgrade for my toneport software(gearbox)?
And if there is no solution can someone recomend a new audio interface for me to get? Under $200.

I use a Toneport UX2 with my intel iMac. I never had the problem you are describing while using Gearbox with GB. However your problem sounds very similar to one I have experienced when I loaded up Line 6 Pod Farm. I discovered that when I start Pod Farm and get the message you mentioned, if I quit Pod Farm then immediately start it again, everything communicates just fine and I'm back in business. I would like to see a fix for this glitch, but for now I just start twice and then get to work.
Give it a try! I am curious to know if you are in the same boat as me.
As a side note, Recently Line 6 offered Pod Farm for no charge to registered owners of a Line 6 interface such as ours. You may want to check it out. It gives you some more options to play with.

"The problem may have been caused by the Ozone plug-in"

It's easier for me to just point you here:

but it's on my site where I also promote my books and training products so I have to provide this disclaimer:

I consolidated all the info I could gather from these forums on this issue because it arises so frequently.

Hello H:
These forums are not chat rooms, but since you used my name I will address your post.
Do you work for Apple?
No. These are user-to-user forums. The forums are moderated by Apple, but do not represent official responses from the company. If an Apple employee would post here (very rare), they would have either a purple apple (forum host) or a silver apple (employee) under their name.
Every post about this issue, going back to early 2009 you have made the SAME suggestion. It doesn't work.
That statement is inaccurate. If you read the posts carefully, I do not cut/paste the same suggestion to address issues. However, trying to address issues without hands-on access to devices necessarily requires one to suggest solutions that have worked in similar situations. Bluetooth issues are not rocket science and there are only a few things that are available to resolve problems. If you look at the little blue bars next to my name that represent user +"thank yous+" for suggestions that worked, I must have made a few suggestions that did work.
Like everyone else that tries to help others here, we are unpaid volunteers. If you have better sources to obtain information, I certainly recommend that you seek those sources out. If you have issues with Apple, take them up with the company. Ranting here about your particular problem is not helping anyone.

Macally BT mouse won't pair with new macbook pro 13!?!

Tried deleting pref. file, reset pram, nothing will get this mouse to pair with my new computer, mouse works with other mbp w/snowleopard.

Ha, they dont even want to let me download lion with this new machine I just bought less than a month ago.
Not sure I undertstand that. You machine came with lion didn't it?
This is not an isolated problem however, I've read alot of other people with this same situation going on, so I think I'm going to try putting snow-leopard on this thing and see if I can narrow it down to an oversight/bug w/os x 10.7.2.
Ok, I'm confused. Did you intend to say you are going to try to put lion 10.7.0, or 10.7.1? The reason I ask is that if yours is a new machine that came with lion, then from what I read you cannot install a version of the OS earlier than what was originally installed on your machine. Check some of the hits on this google search.

Motorola HS820 will not pair with my Macbook Pro and now audio is broken...

My problem is two fold.
First i cannot connect my Motorola HS820 Bluetooth headset to my Macbook Pro. The bluetooth assistant pairs it succesfully but when it connects it immediately disconnects. All of the posts i that address this are either for g4 macbooks or do not work for me...
Second, now that i have attempted this connection i am having issues with several apps including firefox and mediacentral. Audio from these programs will not play. I get an error message saying there was a problem with configuration..

This is not related to the Intel platform (MacBook or MacBook Pro). Make sure the headset is turned on before you turn on your Mac. Then it should connect correctly.
To change the sound outpu, please go to Mac OS X > System Preferences > Sound > Output and change it back to the internal speakers.

Old conversations are not synchronized with new MacBook Pro

Hello!
Yesterday I purchased the newest Retina MacBook Pro (medio 2014), upgraded to Yosemite and started installing and setting up my applications. Sadly, I seem to have a problem with iMessage, since it's not synchronizing my messages properly.
Up until now I've been using an iPhone 3GS, a MBP (medio 2009 w. Yosemite) and an iMac (late 2012 w. Yosemite), and everything seems to work fine, since all the devices share and can access the same conversation history. However, when I started setting up iMessage on my newly purchased RMBP, the conversation history with each of my contacts isn't synchronized even though I'm able to send messages. I tried logging in/out, delete/add my iCloud account, but nothing seems to work.
I assume all of my messages are synchronized with iCloud. Of course it would make sense if it took some time for Apple to recognize and synchronize the messages, but it's been 18 hours since I started messing with iMessage. Am I being to impatient?
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Theis

Hi,
It is a yes, no and maybe answer.
You have to grab several items form the old Mac and place them in the correct places on the new Mac.
As you seem to be using Yosemite all round that task is easier (that is a relative easier),
See this pic
Note the Path Bar across the bottom that list where this Archive folder is.
It can be shortened to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Archive
(you can type or Paste this in the Dialogue box in the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder)
In the Messages folder is also an Alias that links to the Attachments folder. (I will come to that later)
You also need this spot.
This is Still in ~/Library but not in the Containers bit but just the Messages folder.
It has the Attachments folder and the various chat.db items.
Move the Contents of the Attachments from one computer to the new one.
Move ALL the chat.db items (I must admit I am not sure about leaving the incompatible ones behind).
Make an Alias of the Attachments folder and drag it to it's proper position (in the Containers/../../Library/Messages folder) (replace the one that is there so it is linked to the moved stuff).
Now go back to the Archive folder. If you are using the Show Path Bar (view Menu of Finder) then you can Right Click the folder icons
Select the Archive Folder and then Get Info on the right click.
At the Bottom highlight your name in the list for Permissions.
You Should have Read and Write Permissions.
If you now use the Gogwheel type icon you can see if you Own the Folder.
If it is greyed out like this one then you Own it.
However you are most likely to have to "Apply to Enclosed" items as you have just moved things.
Repeat for the Chat.db and Attachments (~/Library/Messages folder).
And then the Alias just to be sure.
There is not an Export option that would be simpler.

Installation CD not compatible with new Macbook Pro

I have a new 13" Macbook Pro. I bought the Airport about a year ago and just purchased a new laptop. I try to install from the CD but it says it can't because the OS isn't supported. Online, apple says it is. What's wrong? Is there a way to download an install? I don't have snow leopard, it's the version right before it.
Thanks

Welcome to the discussions!
You can download AirPort Utility 5.5.1, but it requires an operating system running 10.5.7 or later on Leopard, the previous operating system to Snow Leopard.
If you are not sure what operating system the MacBook Pro is running, click the Apple icon at the upper left of the screen and choose About This Mac.
If you need to update your operating system, click the Apple icon again and select Software Update. This should update your system to a version that will be compatible with AirPort Utility.

Iphone6 bluetooth not pair with my MacBook Pro !

Hi.
When i try to pair my iphone6 to my MacBook Pro, appear the Message Code, i select Pair, the devices connect and after few seconds, disconnect and om my iphone appear the message:
"Is not Possible to pair the device. MacBook PRO is not supported".
I check the Macbook Pro details and i have Bluetooth 4 on my Mac.
I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Version on Mac and iOS 8.2 on iPhone.
This situation cause de impossibilities ti use software like Tether.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks for Help.

There is no supported Bluteooth pairing profile between the iPhone and Mac other than Hotspot tethering.
if you are talking about the Tether Whiteboard App then you need a paired Mac Application which can be download from the developer.
See the App description here:

Display not working with new Macbook pro

Hi there shelley99,

ViewSonic VA912b not working with new MacBook Pro i7

Hi --
I just received my new MBP on Wednesday, along with it I purchased the Griffin Video Display Converter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/TY600VC/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTY4NzA5MDY) so I can use the computer with my ViewSonic VA912b 19" monitor w/ DVI at my desk, and my television w/ HDMI in the living room. I've plugged the monitor into the adapter and nothing is happening after hitting 'Detect Displays' in the Display menu. For the computer I had prior to this (2007 MBP), I had no problems hooking up this monitor and it would automatically find it. I looked through the user's guide and did some searching on the web and I'm finding nothing about this topic...does anyone have any insight into this?
Thanks in advance!
Kristina
