WiFi connectivity between iPhone and MacBook Pro

Hello.
I was wondering if someone can lend a hand, here. I looked at some of the other posts on a similar problem, but figured I'd just confuse the issue. Here's my problem.
I'm using a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with 8GB and 1067 MHz DDR3. Running 10.8.2 I'm using a recording suite known as Digital Performer 7.24. I have an iPhone 4 with an app called DP Control, that talks to the recording software on the MacBook -or it's supposed to. The app basically has some of the keys on the MacBook software side of things like rewind, fast forward, record, pause etc. It allows you to step away from the laptop, and enable the laptop software. For example: If you're sitting at a drumset for instance, you can enable recording by hitting keystrokes on the iphone app, rather than hitting record on your laptop, and running back to the drumset -you get it. Anway, the laptop and the iphone don't talk to each other. I'm thinking this has something to do with my MacBook and not the app. I have an iMac that can see the app no problem. It's with the MacBook that i have the issues with. I contacted the software developer, but they couldn't help me. I even contacted the developer of the app itself, and to no avail. I figure this is something on the Mac side of things that hopefully someone here can help me with.
The app connects to the computer via wifi and NOT Bluetooth. So bluetooth has been disabled. I have also deactivated the firewall per the app's instructions, and to no avail. I'm guessing it has to do something with security settings somewhere, or some sort of deep-rooted permission thing. I don't know.
The only thing I can think of is that at one point, i did delete a user and had to start over with the whole admin privileges thing. I don't know if this would be significant or not.
Thanks for reading!

Well, it seems like I fixed it by enabling port forwarding in advanced, enabling zero config in device directory, and then restarting both devices. Not sure exactly what it did, but now I can wifi sync. So I'm pretty happy!

  • Bluetooth connection between iPhone and MacBook Pro

    Is it possible to browse files on my iPhone from my MacBook Pro (MacBookPro3,1 Serial Number  W873325SX94, OS X 10.9 (13A603)) via Bluetooth?

    An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

    Notes sync is turned on right?
    Can you view your iPhone notes online at iCloud.com?
    Sign out/sign in to iCloud on your Mac.

  • Testing Bluetooth connection between iPhone and MaxBook pro

    Hi everyone:
    I'm testing the GKTank sample from the SDK for the purpose of learning how the Bluetooth connection can work between two iPhone/iPad devices. I do not have the second iPhone to test it with so at the moment all I have is my iPhone 4 and a MacBook Pro that runs GKTank app in a simulator.
    But what happens is that when I fire both (the app on iPhone and on the simulator) the simulator always pops up a message that my iPhone was discovered (in the list for the GKPeerPickerController window) but my iPhone never does the same thing and its GKPeerPickerController window simply shows "Looking for other iPads, iPhones, or iPod touches..."
    Can someone tell me why is that and if it is normal?

    I get a similar result. I can initiate the game from the sim side and get an accept/decline on the iPhone4, but as soon as I accept the game ends on the sim side. Frankly, I didn't expect it to get that far.

  • How do i get a wifi connection between iphone and iMac?

    I downloaded the app "CityMaps2Go". Some of the maps I need are bigger than 20MB and Apple doesn't allow to download that amount over a regular 3G telephone connection. "CityMaps2Go" is asking me to connect via Wifi to download bigger maps. But I have no Wifi right now here at home available. My iMac runs with DSL6000 from Deutsche Telekom (High Speed Internet). Even tough my router has WLAN available, it is not konfigured for Apple hardware (I guess, never worked) But the Internet connection for my iMac is very fast, so no problem there. Here my question: While my iMac is online and connected, can I somehow connect my iphone via wifi to my iMac, so I can download those bigger maps from "CityMaps2Go"??? Thank you!

    Just download the updates via iTunes on your Mac and then sync your iPhone to update them.
    You cannot simply create a Wi-Fi connection between your computer and your iPhone, you must have a Wi-Fi router or access point to connect to.

  • Can't use internet with bluetooth connection between iPhone and macbook

    My iPhone and my macbook both show that I have a successful bluetooth connection, but I can't use the internet on my macbook.  What might be the problem?

    Basic question: Do you have a tethering plan with your carrier? It isn't automatically provisioned; you have to ask for it and pay extra with most carriers. See these tips from Apple:

  • I lost connection between Ipod and Macbook Pro Notes when I changed OS from Lion to Mountain Lion.

    I changed OS X from Lion to Mountain Lion and:
    New Mail application has no Notes.
    A new Notes application is available.
    In my Ipod I am was using Note application that normally was sincronized with Mail Note application. How can do a similar job?
    Devices involved:
    MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2010.
    Ipod Touch, software version 4.2.1

    try this:
    open disk utility and verify your disk permissions - if errors are found repair them....
    then go to system preferences - network - advanced - look for the dns tab and enter the dns you see on the image below.  after you've done that, restart your macbook and see if your internet pages loads faster.
    good luck.

  • Difference in Wifi-speed between iPhone and Mac Pro

    Hello.
    Have just moved in to new studio and having some problems with the wifi-signal on my Mac Pro.
    Not the most technical guy so not sure what to do here. Basically we've extended the airport express which we're using as the router with another Aiport Express. The base airport express is situated upstairs from me now so not expecting a full signal but bought another airport express to extend the signal. Now to my problem: basically my workstation is a Mac Pro Early 2009 which we at the time put a wifi card in. If i do a speedtest at exactly the same position with my Mac Pro and with for example my iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 gets a speed result of around 20mbit/s and the Mac Pro only gets around 5-6mbit/s.. Why is that? Could it be that the wifi card in the Mac Pro is too old or something? The Airport Expresses are both purchased in the last month or two so they are the most up to date ones avaliable. Do they run on different signals or something?
    Thanks!

    Depends how you sync.  If using iCloud, set it in the iCloud settings on the phone.  If syncing with iTunes, set in on the Info page of your divice in iTunes

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If home sharing isn't enabled on the Apple TV, you will need the aluminium remote that came with it to do so.

    How do I synch calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro?

    Thank you for your help. However, I still have no connection; could it be that the laptop is signed in through my account and the iPad through my wife's?
    If so, must I delete her iCloud account and reestablish it as mine?
    Thank you

    At a guess you have cable internet connection.. please confirm exactly what you have.. two public IPs are allowed by some ISP.. once you use up the two IPs, there are no more..
    Make sure the TC is in router mode. And to get it working you probably need to shut off the cable modem.. if it has battery backup remove the battery.. try 5min off .. if not long enough try 20min off. then overnight. The ISP equipment must reset to allow a new MAC address to capture the IP.
    If you cannot work it out.. plug in the old router again.. and set the TC to bridge mode.. which I suspect it is in now.. and plug it into the main router.. it should work fine like that.

  • Connecting an iPhone to MacBook Pro via TRRS cable?

    Here is my idea.  I know this doesnt exist yet but let know know what you think.
    I have designed a TRRS cable (image attached) that my TRRS headphones can plug into, which is then plugged into the audio jack of my iphone and macbook pro.
    My idea here is that I wish to listen to music (via headphones) while on my macbook, however, I constantly get calls.  I dont want to remove my headphones or constantly need to unplug and replug in my headphone jack, so I figured the y-connector will solve this problem.
    Does anyone see a problem with how this might make my phone and MBP interact?
    Thanks

    Actually I am looking for a similar thing but 2 female TRRS and 1 male TRRS and saw your post while searching. I want to connect both my headphones and speaker system to my mac and still able to use volume control/mic etc on my earphones. The second female doesn't have to be TRRS but it will be easier to produce one with two TRRS females.
    About your idea, it's also nice. I didn't think about it before and I am just switching the earphones to my mac and iPhone. It would be nice to have such a thing. However I guess you will have some issues.
    I don't think your MBP and iPhone would interact during the calls since mic only take inputs. So when you are on call, MBP will ignore it unless you have activated the mic on MBP. But if you are using the mic on MBP, for instance, you are on a video conference on your mac and meanwhile got a phone call on iPhone then both devices will get your voice. This might not be a problem since you just want to listen to music on your mac.
    But the problem is, my guess, when you use volume control on your earphones both iPhone and mac will change the volume. You will probably have a big problem when using play/pause/skip function since the signal from the earphone will pass to both iPhone and MBP and both devices will play/pause/skip and their combinations.
    My suggestion is to add a switch on the mic channel. Then you can chose to use the mic/volume/play functions only on either iPhone or MBP. That would solve the problem.

  • Can't synchronise mails of iphone and macbook pro

    I receive my mails on my iphone and Macbook pro. If I download the mails on my iphone first and I open them, they will not be downloaded on my macbook pro. If I download them on my iphone but I don’t open them they will downloaded on my ibook pro. What do I have to change on my settings in order to have the syncronized?
    Thanks

    That's normal behavior for a POP3 email account. If your email provider supports IMAP, set the account up as an IMAP account on both the Mac and the iPhone. IMAP supports synchronization between clients and the server. POP3 does not.
