Why can't I get my 3Gs to pair with my iMac?

I've been trying to get my 3Gs running 4.3.5 to pair with my late 2009 iMac running Snow Leopard over Bluetooth and they keep fighting each other and won't pair up. I don't ask for much, I'd just like to use my mac as a handsfree device when I'm home and the phone is charging. This use to be so easy, and it's paired up with my Pioneer car stereo perfectly, but for some reason the Mac and the iPhone don't want to talk to each other. Which I find rather ironic considering they're both Apple products...
Any suggestions?

As I said, what you're trying to do is not supported.

Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

The thing that I am having a problem with is that I made a different form that calculates the average no matter how may of the cells have numbers or not and I didn't use an if function. I have tried with this other form and and it calulates as if all the cells where being used. I am using the [*] in both instances but it only works in the one I did earlier.

Why can't I get my contacts to sync with Outlook?

Every time I sync my phone (with iTunes) I get an error message that the Outlook sync client has stopped working. My Outlook freezes up and I have to restart it once sync is complete. And I can't get my contacts to sync with Outlook at all. Any ideas??

Why can't I get online all the time with my iPad?

Sometimes when I open my iPad2, I click on an app that needs to be online to be accessed, and nothing happens. I have to turn off, then on again my WiFi. Why am I not able to access the internet all the time. WiFi at home works fine with my MacBook Air all the time.

No firewall. My office is in my home. The iPad is on my desk right next to he Netgear router. Router is only 6 months old.
Sometimes I can open iPad and get online right away. Other times my apps won't update, and I have to turn wifi off, then on again. This is a ROYAL pain! My Air works great as does everyone else's laptop who visits me.
I am a hug Apple fan, so this is stumping me.

Why can't i get a signal in france with my 4GEE extra plan?

I have a new 4GEE Extra plan which apparently gives me the use of calls and texts while abroad..... however i cant get any signal at all and all the networks under a manual scan can connect either. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi ,
The extra plans will need Roaming set up before you leave the UK. This will require a credit check and can be subject to a deposit.
To get this sorted give us a call.

Why can't i get virus scan to work with downloads

I had Firefox before,and everytime I downloaded a file it scanned it. Now no matter what I do it will not run a virus scan!

Firefox doesn't do the "AV scan", it hands the scan off to the "registered" anti-virus application that you have installed. The "scan" should be done so fast that you shouldn't see more than a flash instance from Firefox of a scan being performed on the downloaded file, even if it is a large file like a 360Mb ISO image.
If you saw (or see) the download scan dialog run for like 4 to 5 seconds, or more, '''a scan isn't actually being performed''' - Firefox is giving you a misleading indication that a scan is being performed, when it isn't. ''It's like Firefox is blowing smoke up your arse, with a false indication. ''
I filed a Bug about this issue almost two years ago and it remains UNCONFIRMED. I only discovered it because I was doing am initial load of software on a PC that I had just built for myself, the first brand new one in over ten years, at the time. I was using a newly installed Firefox to download the Anti-Virus application I was going to install, and Firefox showed the download was being scanned, when I didn't even have an AV program installed on Windows 2000!<br />
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480855
Three similar Bugs that others have filed. <br />
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461989 <br />
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501645 <br />
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=530307
I can't even find a list of the exact anti-virus applications that have the proper "hooks" in Windows that Firefox uses to "connect" the file being downloaded with the AV application - from either Microsoft or from Mozilla.
IMO, that feature is broken at least, and at the worst it gives an invaild indication that a scan is being performed when it isn't because the user either doesn't even have an AV application installed, or has an AV program that isn't compatible with this feature - I think Firefox should tell the user in both those situations.

How do I get my iPhone to pair with my Mac

How do I get my Iphone to pair with my iMac via Bluetooth

turn on bluetooth on you iPhone (Settings > Bluetooth > On) on you iMac click the bluetooth icon in the status bar or go to System Preferences (System Preferences > Bluetooth > Set to 'ON' and 'Discoverable') then either on you iPhone or iMac, search and select the other device and choose to pair them.
That's basically it! Hope it helps

If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for. What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

Why can't I get firefoc 6, I had it on my old computer and now I can not find it to download

I updated to firefox 6 and have since gotten a new computer and now can only download 4.0. Why can't I get at least 5.6 update?

You likely had FF 3.6 instead of 6. At the moment, FF 4 is the latest version. If you wish to rollback to an earlier version, you can download your preferred version for your OS here:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
FF 4 is the latest and greatest. If you are not experiencing specific problems that force you to roll back to an earlier version, you will probably want to stick with FF 4.
If you do roll back, you may want to back up your profile for safekeeping:

Why can't I get a straight answer re: Multi Room DVR and HD Boxes

A rep that I spoke w/ on the phone and the website tells me that the HD set top boxes are not compatiable w/ the Multi Room DVR. But they are working on it. A rep I chatted w/ today told me they definitely WILL work together. Why can't I get a straight answer?? And what IS the correct answer? I want to switch to FIOS and I really like the Multi Room DVR option, but I don't want my 1 of my 2 main TVs to be w/o HD. And since the Multi Room Box is HD why wouldn't it be compatiable w/ the HD boxes??
Does anyone know what's going on w/ this?? Thanks!

Joe01880,
And that info is out of date, whether it is on Verizon's website or not. If you have the latest level of the IMG (1.6), then, as confirmed one post above yours, that the HD STB is now supported, and works. This has been posted in multiple posts on multiple forums, so I believe that it is accurate. But I do not have the 1.6 level so I cannot confirm that personally, I can only repeat what other posters in this and other forums have said. For example:
