Why won't my macbook air connect to my iphone 6 hotspot

My macbook air will not pair with my iPhone 6. I recently upgraded from iPhone 5s to 6 and now I can't pair to the hotspot...anyone else having the same problem?
I've rebooted both the phone and computer, and renamed the phone something other than what the old phone was called. No joy.

Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

I cannot pair my Macbook Air (Yosemite) with my iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth.

I cannot pair my Macbook Air (Yosemite) with my iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth. It is recognising the devices but 'connection unsuccessful'

That is correct. Macs do not pair to iPhones, iPads, etc.
However, pairlng is not required to get Handoff to work. Both devices must have Bluetooth on, but they need not (indeed cannot) be paired.
OS X Yosemite: Pick up where you left off with Handoff
You must be using supported devices:

Why won't my macbook air connect to my wifi, but I have no problems with other devices?

I can't seem to connect my macbook air to the internet. I have no problem with my regular mac. What could the problem be?

Let us know what any error message is. Otherwise some general things you can try is creating a new network location in System Preferences > Network. Also you can reset the network settings by deleting /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and restart the computer.

How do I sync my Macbook Air Calendar with my iphone 4s?

I can't get my Macbook Air to show my calender events from my iPhone 4S. How can I sync them?

How would you like to sync them - by cable connection, over wifi, or over iCloud? You should only use one of these three methods.
To use cable connection, attach your charging cable between the iPhone and Mac, open iTunes, go to the iPhone tab, click Info, and make sure Calendar sync is enabled, and that all the calendars you need are set to sync. Click Sync.
To use wifi connection, you must first connect via cable - under Info, you can set "Sync over wifi". You can now disconnect the cable, but your iPhone must be attached to power in order to sync.
To use iCloud, set up iCloud sync of calendars on the Mac first - go to System Preferences, iCloud, and turn on Calendar sync. After a few minutes, log into http://icloud.com with your appleid and make sure the calendars are there. Once that's done, go to the iPhone, Settings, iCloud, and turn on calendar sync. Again, it will take a few minutes to sync.

Why won't Outlook 2011 Contacts sync with iPhone Contacts?

When i left a previous company i wanted to keep my outlook contacts. To do this i exported them from the company PC into a .PST file. I was then given a MacBook Air at my current company and wanted to import the contacts from the .PST file to my outlook (Outlook 2011). This was fine and i have my old contacts on my new work MacBook. My problem is that i cannot get the contacts to show in my iPhone 6 (company phone) contacts. When i go to itunes, then my device and contacts i am given the option to sync contacts from different places. The only place that comes up is OWA and there is no option to sync the .PST file that is on my outlook. I need to be able to sync these so that if i add a contact at the office on the mac or if i add a contact on my phone when out meeting a client that they then appear on both devices no matter which one it was created on.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I did what you said and everything looked and worked perfectly...except the events still aren't showing up on my iPhone even though they are in Google Calendar. How much time does it take to populate the iphone calendar with the events from the just added calendar? I changed the settings a couple of hours ago.
Thank you!

Why won't my MacBook Air boot-up?

My MacBook Air won't boot up. When turning power on it begins to initialize as normal but never gets past the white screen with the Apple logo. The circle that indicates that it's booting up just spins and spins, but nothing ever happens. I have tried both restarting and completely shutting down, but the same problem occurs. I'm stuck....can anyone help me get past this glitch?

Your SSD could be permanently damaged. Can you boot into recovery mode? CMD+R on startup.
If you cannot get into recovery mode, any further diagnosis is pure speculation and futile.
Contact Apple for full in shop diagnosis and possible SSD replacement (if necessary).

Why doesn't my Macbook Air print with my HP desk jet 1000 J110 series printer?

I have tried to print pictures and documents on Pages from my MacBook Air with my HP deskjet 1000 J110 series printer but it doesn't happen. The printer connects all right and doesn't show a problem whilst I am choosing the format I want my document/picture to be printed but after I click Print, a little icon representing the printer pops up in the bottom but after a second or two, it disapppears leaving me with no printouts. Why is it happening and what are the solutions?

Why won't my macbook air recognise/open a DVD that i have used before the update of yosemite?

I have recently updated my Macbook Air to the OS X Yosemite version 10.10. Before the update I have been using a DVD/CD which was working fine, since the update I have not been able to access the DVD/CD, it is coming up with 'quit unexpectedly' which has never popped up before when using the disc. Does anyone know how ill be able to gain access to the DVD/CD without it quitting before opening, and with it mentioning there has been a successful installation?

Why won't my Macbook Air charge?

My Macbook Air (late 2010) stopped charging and recommended a battery replacement. After replacing the battery with one purchased off of ebay, the computer still turns on when plugged in, but it will not charge. A very faint light is shown on the magsafe. I'm wondering if the problem is with the new battery or if there is another issue internally. Any diagnostic advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Qualify 'bunch'. That is simply not the case at all.
people come here to report problems,
its easy to consider there is a a problem with things when you stick your head in an emergency room, which is what these boards are.
which is a false statistical sampling, and more still a sample from the wrong place.
All batteries produced for Apple contain microprocessor chips for SMC communication.

Why won't my Macbook Air access a network hard drive?

I have a BT Home Hub 3 and have connected a Western Digital hard drive into the Home Hub's USB port.
I have an iMac running Snow Leopard, and a Macbook Air running Lion. When I open Finder on both machines I have "bthub3" appearing under the Shared heading in the sidebar.
Clicking on the bthub3 on the iMac enables me to access the WD drive without any problems at all.
However, when I click on bthub3 on the Macbook, it shows a folder called "USB_Disk", but when I click on that I get the message "The operation can't be completed because the original item for "USB_Disk" can't be found."
Searching the Apple support pages there is a page headed "OS X Lion: If you see "The original item cannot be found" when using a remote disk" which goes on to say that I may be attempting to do something which I can't do with a remote disk."
This makes no sense to me, especially as I am can't access the hard disk from the iMac with no problems.
Any thoughts on how I can access the hard disk from the Macbook?
Thanks very much.
