Why can't I pair my Iphone 5 with my Macbook pro?

I tried to bluetooth my phone to my Macbook pro and it will not pair. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

What do you want to do after pairing?
If what you want is to stars Sync, they have to be on the same WIFI, bluetooth i think it's only if you want to use your Iphone5 as Internet Port
Also, Apps like Remote and Spotify, using your iphone as "remote control" it's via Wi-Fi

  • Why can't I use my archos with my macbook pro, why can't I use my archos with my macbook pro

    I have a archos 10.1 and I want to transfer movies to it from my external hard drive, but it does not appear on my macbook pro

    How are you connecting it? I don't know that you might not need an app for it to be recognized on a Mac... iPads are easy... other tablets, not so simple.
    I assume that it will connect to your router via wifi... have you tried to discover it on your network from your Mac (as you can do with a PC)?
    Sorry,

  • Synced iphone with my macbook pro, can find the voice memos, help!!

    i synced my iphone with my macbook pro, checked the voice memos option and after syncing was complete (it backed up iphone in the process), i didn't see any new playlist called voice memos on my itunes!! did i lose my voice memos? where did they go? i didn't delete anything from either the phone or the computer.TIA!! on the phone, i don't see the memos too!! anyone has any idea?

    iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
    You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the iPod application on iPhone using the Music pane in iTunes.
    To Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPhone:
    1. Connect iPhone to your computer.
    2. In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar.
    3. Select the Music tab.
    4. Select the “Include voice memos” checkbox and click Apply.

    Do I always have to be within distance of iPhone?

    No, the watch can only link to an iPhone. However, it can do several things even when out of range of the iPhone — http://help.apple.com/watch/#/apd0443fb403

  • Why can't I connect to iCloud on my macbook pro?

    Why can't I connect to iCloud on my macbook pro?

    Not sure what you've tried so far to connect. But, make sure you have an Internet connection and log into iCloud with your Apple ID/password from System Preferences/iCloud.
    If the OS X you're running is prior to 10.7, you won't be able to use iCloud as this feature was added to OS X beginning with OS X Lion (10.7).

    How do i sync my contacts from my iPhone with my macbook pro for messaging purposes?

    Hey dthompson2108, 
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    You can sync contacts between your iPhone and MacBook Pro using iCloud or iTunes.
    See this link for help with setting up iCloud on your computer and device(s):
    Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Instead of turning on iCloud on your iPhone and Mac, you can sync using iTunes as explained in this article:

    All the best,

  • Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
    Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
    A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

  • How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

    How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

    There are two apps that I know of - and I would also swear that they come from the same developer, although they've different names. Both have free trials and both cost $40 (but both do 'other' video conversion as well).
    One is WonderShare - I bought this one and it works very well for downloading YouTube videos as well as converting just about any file format you can think of.
    The other is iSkysoft Video Converter (just noticed that it's now $36).
    I tried them both and finally decided on WonderShare. Give them both a trial run and decide if you like either one enough to buy it. I don't know of any 'free' software that will allow you to download and convert YouTube videos, but perhaps someone else will come along and know of something...
    Good luck,

  • Why does it take SO long to synchronize my iphone with my macbook pro

    Hi fellow users,
    It takes unbelievable long for my iPhone 4S to synchronise with my MacBook Pro. Happens everytime.
    I started the synch early yesterday evening (19:00). It is now 10:35 the following day and it is still not finished.
    Has anyone any ideas?
    Have a great day Desmond, a Brit living in Germany.

    I have this aggravating issue as well, only I just have an iPhone 4s 16GB (yes, STILL!).  One of the (many) reasons I haven't upgraded is the deteriorating performance factors induced by Apple.  If it takes forever to sync just a 16GB iPhone, syncing a 64GB or 128GB iPhone must be an all day test of aggravation!  Since I'm finding no credible or relevant answers here I thought I'd post my observations.  When I watch the sync process, I can see that the procedure backs up my iPhone data, removes it from the phone, then reinstalls it again with any updates to the data since the last sync.  This is a programming "feature".  I don't know what the reasons are for not designing the sync process to handle only changed data as in any other data backup process.  Maybe it's laziness at Apple, maybe it's a technical issue that their programmers are incapable of solving, or maybe there's a monitoring aspect involved that this method allows Apple to collect information on users more effectively.  I just don't know their reasons for this, or many baffling things they do.  I do know that if their corporate data backups were performed in the same manner in which the iPhone sync is performed, there would never be a break in the backup processes at Apple, nor would the process ever complete.  It's ludicrous to program the SW (iTunes) run this inefficiently.  I can't fathom having a larger capacity iPhone and dealing with the constant aggravation of what must be hours to sync simple data changes caused only by the poor routine programmed into iTunes.  From what I can see, it's basically like loading a blank phone every time I want to sync data.  Completely ridiculous as far as I can tell.  Even if the reasoning is to remove dead sectors, blank sectors etc, I'd think with all the money Apple has and makes on a quarterly basis, they could afford to spend the time and money in R&D to make the sync process a **** of lot more tolerable for users. 

  • How can I use an A1082 monitor with my MacBook Pro?

    I received an apple A1082 monitor this past weekend from a friend and we couldn't, and still can't, figure out how it can be used with my MacBook Pro. I know that I need an adapter, but where does it get power from? Thanks in-advance. Richie.

  • Is there a way to sync contacts iPhone with my macbook pro

    Is there a way to sync contacts iPhone with my macbook pro

    Yes.
    1) With iTunes and an USB cable.
    2) Using MobileMe over the air. (I think it's replaced by iCloud soon [5th Oct.])
    I would just wait and create an iCloud account when it's released.

  • 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.
