Well snozdop as you can see, I am new around here. In most online forums you can "bump" an old thread and get new responses, rather than making a whole new thread about the same question.
So I was hoping by pointing out the fact that Panicazi (who seems to have to deleted his profile, maybe because of people like you) said that "This solved my question" when in fact it didn't, because you asked...
"For what purpose are you trying to connect the iPhone to the Mac via Bluetooth?"
and then said
"Apple have never said "why" their implementation of Bluetooth is the way it is.
However, there are over 20 different Bluetooth profiles - not every device supports, or needs to support every profile. Some Bluetooth profiles would be useless on some Bluetooth devices.
File transfers over Bluetooth are slow. For the multi-gigabytes media files an iPhone it would be impractical for file transfers. USB 2 is many times faster."
didn't answer why his "...Mac Book can see my iPhone, but cannot connect to it..." or the rest of his question; someone might respond with an answer, rather than a rude comment.

Why won't this iPhone work with this SIM??

I recently sold my iPhone 3GS on eBay after getting my iPhone 4. Before I shipped it, I took out the SIM, and wiped it of its data. I shipped it out, and now the buyer is telling me that he cannot activate it with his SIM card or service. He says he has the data plan etc. I didn't unlock it or anything... All I did was take out the SIM, wipe it, then ship it. What are some possible reasons he cannot use it with his service? (which is AT&T)

No, the SIM is sorta unique for the iPhone. He has to tell AT&T he has an iPhone, they will give him new SIM for it. That SIM will work in iPhone (or other phones). But you cannot put a SIM from another phone into an iPhone.
Sorry, but you are mistaken.
The iPhone 2G, 3G, and 3GS all use a standard SIM. That is what we are discussing here.
The iPhone 4 has a microSIM. That is not the OP's issue.
ANY SIM from any AT&T phone (excluding iPhone 4) will fit into the iPhone and work with it as long as it's a 3G SIM, it should have the 3G fireball logo on it. If it is not a 3G SIM, then the purchaser can go to any AT&T corp store and they will generally give the user a new SIM free of charge.

To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
Best of luck,

Why won't my iphone work on my docking stations, Why won't my iphone work on my docking stations

Why won't my iphone work in any of my docking stations

Possibly they are not designed to work with iPhones.
Possibly there is no physical connection or way to connect them.
Possibly the docking stations are broken.
Possibly the device is damaged.
Without more details of the problem, it's difficult at the least to offer an answer or a possible resolution.

HT1222 Hello,after the last apdate iOS 7.1.1 my iphone has stop work with the bose dock station. why it is happens?

Hello,after the last apdate iOS 7.1.1 my iphone has stop work with the bose dock station. why it is happens?

Natan turbo hadar,
I have the same exact problem.
I put an iPod shuffle on the Bose system, it plays just fine.
My iPhone 4s works just fine connected to my car stereo.
My iPhone 4s on the Bose will charge, it "thinks" it's playing, song shows, time line shows it's playing, can pause if I touch the phone's screen.
The remote for the Bose WILL NOT pause it, forward to next song, etc. It does work with the iPod shuffle.
So it's not the Bose, it's not connections, it's the iOS 7.1.1
Everything worked fine before, any one else have suggestions?

Why won't music match work with my Sonos system now?

I updated my iTunes to music match, because I added a new computer for my wife and she wanted easy access the music library. I used the music match and the iCloud to make it easier to get the music on the new computer. It was fairly simple to set it up, however, when I installed the sonos controller on the new computer, it couldn't find the music library. Why won't my sonos work, when I can see the music on iTunes in its library.

Maybe the speakers are not compatible with your computer. Contact the manufacturer.
You can try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM to see if that resolves the issue.

HT204387 Why won't my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.2 sync with my Nissan Murano or Bose headset?

I upgraded to iOS 8.2, and now my iPhone 6 won't recognize or connect to my Bose headset or 2014 Nissan Murano. Prior to upgrading, my phone worked seamlessly with both.

First, with one of the devices on, go to Settings/Bluetooth. Do you see the device? Can you tap on its name and connect it? Try with the other also.
If this doesn't resolve the problem you will need to re-pair the device. Put it in pairing mode, and go to Settings/Bluetooth on the phone, then tap on its name.

Why won't my Mac work with a Canon i860 Printer?

I think it used to work, but I haven't used this printer in a while. I remember buying a cord from the Apple store for it, but I just keep getting a #306 message to check connections and make sure everything is powered on. Everything seems to be set correctly, so why won't it work? Any ideas?

Contact Canon or post in their forum area.

Why won't 'Speakable Items' Work with USB Audio Input Device (Lexicon Lambda)?

I am new to Apple Macs, yay for me!
I really want to use the 'Speakable Items' feature but unfortunately it just won't work with my Lexicon Lambda external USB Audio device.
Now, the Lambda is plugged in and working, and I know this from using the "Diction' feature which works perfectly.
When I go to System Preferences and click on accessibility>'Speakable items' and I turn on speakable items, I notice that under 'microphone' I'm unable to calibrate the microphone for some reason (if that's at all relevant).
I follow the instructions and have been asking 'what time is it?' and nothing happens
Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem, using 10.8.4. I have been using Speakable Items for a long time, but it's not reacting at all anymore. I'm on a Mac Mini and have tried several inputs, that all work with dictation, and are selectable inputs for Speakable Items. Zoom H4N, Apogee Duet and an UAD Apollo. The only problem I can see, aside from something in the OS, would be that I have SoundFlower and WavTap installed. Will try uninstalling them, to see if that helps.

Why won't Firefox 5 work with Mail Chimp?

Why doesn't Firefox 5.x work with MailChimp. Edit screens and tools in MailChimp worked fine in Firefox 4.x, but not in Firefox 5.x. In Firefox file, the "edit" screens for the MailChimp email editor display blank pages with no tool bars. Have to go back to Internet Explorer 9.x or Google Chrome in order to edit in Mail Chimp.

Why won't my music work with iOS7?

I recently imported Now 87 Disc 1 onto my iPhone 4S with iOS7.1. I imported the music onto my PC with iTunes 11 and put it onto my iPhone with CopyTrans Manager v1.002. I opened the Music app on my iPhone and when I opened Now 87 [Disc 1] not only was the artwork missing but I found that the tracks names were grey and next to each of them there was a red circle with a red square inside of it. When I tried to play the album it skipped all the tracks. Just to be clear, the music is from a CD. I bought it a couple of days ago and when listening to it on my stereo didn't experience any issues at all. I also had enough storage to fit the album in there.
Thank you for listening to my iPhone/iOS 7.1 troubles.
Yours sincerely,
bex1377.
Good day.

Hi bex,
You should post your issue to the CopyTransManager support site. It is not an app from the App store, so we wouldn't be able to help you.
Cheers,
GB

Why won't Time Machine work with MouseKeys?

Why won't Time Machine respond to MouseKeys?

What format did you format the drive in? It should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If it isn't, try that and see if it fixes the problem. If it's already in that format I don't have any other ideas.

Will the iPhone work with the Bose SoundDock Digital Music System?

I want to get one of the new Bose SoundDocks but I'm not sure if it will work with the iPhone. I know it works with the iPod Touch but I know it's a little thinner than the iPhone. Has anyone tried using the iPhone with one of these?

There isn't an adaptor that fits the iPhone but it works flawlessly with the iPhone. In fact, it works better with the iPhone than it does with the new Classic. The new Bose SoundDock has a nifty little remote that allows you to scan foward/backward through your playlists - this functionality works on the iPhone but not on a Classic iPod.
