Why can't i connect to any of my bluetooth devices that i have already paired?
Why can't I connect to any of my Bluetooth devices i have already paired with?
You say "I am paired" but unless you are a Bluetooth device yourself, what device are you trying to send files from? A computer? A mobile phone? If the latter, which one?
To send files Mac to Mac, Bluetooth Sharing needs to be enabled on both Macs in the Sharing system preferences pane.
If you are trying to send files between a Mac and an iOS device via Bluetooth, then that won't work as iOS devices don't have that functionality.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

Why can't I connect my iPhone 4 via bluetooth with my Macbook Pro Version 10.7.5?
How come that the bluetooth connection won't work. On the computer shows it is paired and is working properly while on the iphone shows not connected.
The only thing you can do with bluetooth and your mac is for the mac to share the internet connection using personal hotspot on your phone. Other than that you cannot use bt to transfer files or sync the phone with the mac.

Why can i not connect my iphone 4S via bluetooth to my macbookair?
i have tried to connect my iphone 4s via bluetooth and it says that my macbook air is not supporting this feature after i follow all the steps when connecting. Can someone help me with this problem?
The only thing you can connect an iPhone to your Macbook over BT for would be tethering, which would be done through the Personal Hotspot settings on the iPhone, not the BT settings. iOS doesn't support the BT profiles for trasferring files.

I have a black Macbook 4,1 running 10.7.5, an iMac 11,3 running 10.7.5 and a new Macbook Air 6,2 running 10.9.5., I have file sharing turned on on all machines. All machines are visible and I can connect all machines except for the Macbook Air. The Macbook air can see the other 2 Macs but does not connect to either of them or even give me the option to connect as a guest or a registered user. The other Macs connect to the Macbook Air but it will not connect with them. Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

I've tried the troubleshooting things that I've seen, but it still doesn't work. The wifi notification on top says that I'm connected, but I can't get to any websites.
Help!!The wifi symbol only indicates the presence of a wifi signal, not that you are connected.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

"Connection Failed" when trying to access TC that I have already connect to
Hello,
I have been connecting to my office network for well over a month now with no problems. Now, no matter what I do, i can not connect to the Time Capsule that provides the WiFi for the office.
The Office Network appears in the Airport drop-down list and I can select it to connect to it. However, even though I enter the password in correctly, it continually says "connection failed."
The other computers (all Macs) can connect/stay connected just fine. I have tried restarting both my computer and the entire office network several times to no avail. I have updated all software on my computer. I have removed the network from my list of preferred networks, tried to connect to it again, and I have manually "Join Other Network" all to no avail.
The same thing happened about 2 weeks ago. Just randomly, after about 3 hours of no connection, it allowed me to connect again. I can connect just fine to any other Wireless Network--Starbucks, my home Aiport Express, Apple Stores, etc... I am limited in what I can do to the Time Capsule, seeing as how it is the Office's and I am not authorized to get onto Airport Utility/change settings on the TC.
I am at my wits' end with this one.
My computer:
1.83GHz Macbook Pro
1GB RAM
80GB Hard Drive
Airport Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.4.3.1
The Wireless Setup:
Comcast cable modem, connected to 1TB Time Capsule with latest firmware/software updates.
Thank you for any suggestions.I am having the same problem starting today since my trusty ol' PowerMac froze up on me. I've repaired permissions and the disk.
Other devices on the network work fine with the same password, but my main machine won't connect! -

Why can't I connect to the ITunes Store?Even through I troubleshooted with the info I was e-mailed,created new password,
made sure date,keychain was correct etc and still cannot open store .I have MacOSX 10.4.11 and it does not let me download
the latest version of iTunes.I need to speak to someone on the phone as it has been over 3 weeks now and this issue is still
not resolved. also cannot download any CD's. After reinstalling disc 1 as told by 1 800 MY APPLE (as I was unable to cut and paste
on my Mac)I ended up having to bring the computer in to the Apple Store on 5th Ave in Manhattan as it also required Disc 2 .
Unfortunately I did not back up my music library and was not told it would be fully erased due to reinstallation. My 6 year music
library got completely wiped out.iTunes had a history of my purchases but I received an e-mail stating about 35 songs and
videos I purchased cannot be retroactive due to modification(I don't know what this means)I greatly appreciate if someone would
help me clarify this issue.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Why can't I connect to the internet on my ipad 2 since I updated to 8.3? ITunes indicated ipad is in sync and my wfi is working.
On your iPad, go into Settings --> Wifi. Does your iPad indicate your device is on a wireless network?
If so, can you verify your wireless network is correctly functioning?
If not, connect your device to a wireless network. If the iPad refuses to connect to a wireless network. Go into Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset All Network Settings. If done correctly than you will NOT loose any data while reseting your network settings. After the reset, go back into wifi settings and attempt to connect to a wireless network. -
Why can't I connect to WiFi when asked for a password, but I can connect to the same WiFi if no password is required? When I type in the password, I get the following message, "There was an error joining the AirPort network "Verizon SCH-LC11 d8dd Secure".
When using my PowerBook G3 Pismo, running 10.4.11, I have no problem connecting to any WiFi that does not require a password.
But I get the same error message when a password is requested. I have removed the password requirement from some of my WiFi options, and make the connections and internet functions correctly.Homer Leon wrote:

Judging from what you wrote, because there is something wrong with the settings or the password or passphrase. Make sure all devices use the same type of encryption, and make sure you enter the correct password. WRT to this, read

Why can't I connect to my brother MFC-J4510DW printer wirelessly? The printer is connected to the router.
I can surf the web. My wife can print from her PC wirelessly on it.
I wonder if some security setting may be keeping it from connecting to my MacBook Pro. I've installed the software, firmware and driver updates but
it still shows "off line"
with the printer power on. Any suggestions?All I can suggest right now is back up first the try to reset the printing system, (all printers in the list will be removed).
Then connect directly to the printer via ethernet or to the Mac using USB and restart the efforts you have made up until now.
As for router settings, it's possible but not likely that your router only allows a small number of clients. It's also posible that you have MAC address filtering on, lastly are you using the correct wireless protocol, (802.11a/b/g WEP or WPA etc)?
