iPhone will pair with iMac but immediately drop

Hi gang, I seem to have a problem, trying to pair my iPhone 6 (9.2.1) for an iMac (late 2013 and 27 in..). I actually had it connected before to this iMac and transfer was working, etc. So I'm not sure what has changed.

I go into preferences bluetooth on the iMac and my iPhone will appear in the list. I click on "Pair" and there the 6 digit code pop up on my iPhone to confirm that it is correct, etc. I type the pair on the iPhone and for about one second it displays "iPhone" on the iMac as 'connected', but then is changed to "not connected".

Also, if I then try to manually connect to the iPhone, he said "not iMac supported" and then delete the pairing.

I'm guessing that it's the iPhone because sometimes on 2 separate Macs. I have no problem, connect iPhone to any other device. I tried reseting my network preferences and then all preferences, but that did not work. Anyone has any ideas on this?

Thank you.

You cannot associate an iPhone to any computer via bluetooth.

What you trying to accomplish? Transfer/continuity don't require pairing bluetooth, or did the personal hotspot function.

  • My iPhone6s pairs with ONE single device (phone link2cell). will pair with something else, and "bicycle wheel" changes all the time! Any suggestions?

    My iPhone6s pairs with ONE single device (phone link2cell). will pair with something else. At the opening of the Bluetooth window "bicycle wheel" next to "Other devices" is always running as if the search! Any suggestions?

    When you open the Bluetooth section in the settings, you can still see the spinning wheel, because it is in discovery mode and is actually looking for other devices in the range. Other devices must be in discovery/torque for the device mode to find them. However, I'm not sure you can be associated with multiple devices at the same time with the iPhone. You can have multiple devices matched on the phone, but you can always not more than one partner at the same time. It depends on what it is you are trying to pair.

  • 6 s iPhone Bluetooth will pair with El Capitan Mac but does not connect

    My employers very kindly gave me a brand new MacBook Pro running the most recent version (10.11.4) of Mac OS X.  What finish set up I need to pair my iPhone staff 6 (running iOS 9.3.1) to the computer I want to use MacID to secure my computer when I'm away from him.  While the phone would pair (pairing being initiated by the Mac) it would be briefly apply status 'connected' before going to "not connected".  When I then tried to establish a connection, I received the following message on the iPhone:

    Connection failure

    'MacBook Pro' is not supported

    and the only option to close this dialog box click the device forget .

    I therefore looked on my personal Mac which had previously been paired with the phone to find that he was is no longer listed in the devices Bluetooth, but when I looked in the settings for MacID running on my Mac it says "Looking for iPhone 6 s.  I tried to re-pair 6s iPhone to my personal machine and had the same results.  When I called in my TI guru we tried with his iPhone 6 (also installed 9.3.1) and had the same results.  As it's been a few months since I used MacID on my computer that I don't know when the link has been broken - after an update iOS or OS X update.  Bluetooth linking to my Apple Watch still works perfectly.  I was unable to try this out with any other Mac, I was looking for one with an older version of Mac OS X.

    Everyone is aware of this problem or have an idea for a fix?

    An iPhone will not pair Bluetooth with a computer (Mac or Windows) for one use other than personal hotspot and it will only do that if the carrier is supported. However, there are a number of things will be using Bluetooth between the computer and the iPhone where the devices are NOT matched. More information in Bluetooth: why can not connect my iPhone or iPad with another iOS device or my computer?

    The following link for MacID support site has instructions on how to do the installation. It requires Bluetooth to be turned on in the computer and the iPhone, but the rest of the configuration/connection is done inside the MacID app on each device, not normal Bluetooth pairing as follows: http://macid.co/help/?c=Setup & sc = Pairing % 20A % 20device

  • Whenever I try to log on to the administrator account, it will start to connect, but immediately disconnected return.

    Original title: why my account automatically disconnect?

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Whenever I try to log on to the administrator account, it will start to connect but then before he's even changed screens, immediately disconnect back.
    I can connect to it using safe and I ran Anti-malware, Microsoft Security Essentials and Advanced System Care and they have all come without any problem.
    Now, I guess I'm using an account with administrative privileges but different. I just need to open Windows Media Center, but every time I try, it says: I'm on the guest account. My machine won't let me create a new account, delete other accounts, or even to change the passwords. In addition, a random ASP.NET account appears and I can't remove it.
    I don't understand what I could do wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jorgomli,

    1. you receive messages or error codes when you try to connect?

    2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    Step 1:

    Because you can connect to the account administrator in safe mode, you can try to create a new safe mode administrator account and check.

    Check out the link:

    Create a user account

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/create-a-user-account

    Step 2:

    If still face problems, then you can try setting the default Administrator account and check if you can solve the problem.

    (b) in the Start Menu, click all programs followed accessories

    c. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

    d. in the drop-down menu that appears, click on the "Run as Administrator" option

    e. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked for permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

    f. in the command prompt window, type the command net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.

    g. close the elevated command prompt.

    h. log (in the Start Menu) and you will see your new administrator integrated next to your current account.

  • IPhone Bluetooth pair with car even when I do not have a call

    I recently started having a problem with my IPhone 4 s automatically picking up the sound system in cars, even if I did not call. This happens as soon as I turn on the car. When I press the keys on the phone I hear the click key in the car sound system, and the radio is removed. This happened with a Chevy Volt and a Ford CMax, then this is the phone, not the car. The only way I can make the radio work is to turn off the Bluetooth on my phone. It started only in the last week or two and I downloaded an update of the phone on the right, then, that could be the problem. Any suggestions?

    If the phone is paired with the car, it will happen.

    Can you not turn off the twinning/forget the connection?

  • Headset Bluetooth will pair with the laptop. Argh.

    I find it quite impossible to pair my Bluetooth BH-01 for my Toshiba headset in Windows 8. I set the camera on the charged pairing mode then the computer to search for devices, and it has always come in white. I tried troubleshooting, to change parameters, whole enchilada, but nothing has worked. Is - this headset simply do not pair with Toshiba laptops? What is Windows 8? I'm completely confused.

    Zealous salvation,

    1. are you able to match other bluetooth devices?

    2 have you tried pair the bluetooth device to another computer?

    You can check the compatibility of the device to the Windows Compatibility Center.

    I suggest combine the device with another computer by using bluetooth and check.

    If you are unable to pair another bluetooth device, then uninstall and reinstall the drivers of bluetooth on the manufacturer's Web site.

    Provide more information so that we can help you.

  • I can't hear alerts on my iPhone when paired with Apple Watch

    Hi all

    I just got my new Apple Watch. I paired it with my iPhone, but now I can't hear alerts on my phone. I find that I miss a lot of messages because I can't hear the alert on my phone. Is it possible to hear alerts on both devices?

    Hello

    How notifications behave depends on the State of your devices. In order to provide notifications to your attention as soon as possible:

    -If your iPhone is unlocked, you will receive notifications on your iPhone instead of on your watch.

    -If your iPhone is locked or asleep and that your watch is unlocked and on your wrist, you will receive notifications on your watch.

    -If your watch is locked or allowed to do not disturb, notifications will be sent to your iPhone.

    More information:

    About notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

    You can see that if you turn off your wrist detection (on your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: Watch My > General > wrist detection) it will make all notification alerts to be delivered to both devices. However, you will not then be able to benefit from features including Apple pay and one unblock after placing the watch on your wrist.

    If you want Apple to consider adding an option for notification alerts to be delivered for both devices regardless of the other settings, you can suggest here:

  • Z22 will be with Desktop but not Outlook hotsync? Why?

    No device

    Microsoft Outlook has added to my PC, so it would be ready for the possible purchase of the iphone - my first smartphone.  Was so excited that I was able to port over my calendar information and address book of my Palm Z22 to the new smartphone.

    uninstalled (using revouninstaller) Palm Desktop, given that I read that I must have Outlook installed clean install first and necessary to be able to change the method of hotsync from palm desktop to outlook

    Reinstalled 6.2 Palm Desktop and when I got to the screen with the choice between Palm Desktop and Outlook, I clicked on the option I wanted to sync using Outlook.

    First hotsync went to Palm Desktop and Outlook calendar left et al. empty.  ??? Why?

    Even second HotSync problem.  ??? Why?

    Impossible to find anywhere in my hotsync Manager in the office or on the Z22 where I can make changes to the hotsync...

    So now I have handy dandy new version of Palm Desktop which is (still) syncs perfectly with my z22, but doesn't help me prepare for the Iphone, because I will need my calendar/address book/notes data in Microsoft Outlook in order to transfer to the iphone (or any other smartphone also)...

    Just to remind, never had / have problems with the hotsync process, just try to change when the data is intended.

    Using Windows XP and HotSync Manager 7.0.2 and Palm Desktop 6.2 with Palm Z22

    Want to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook 2007 (a SP2 already installed)

    Help!

    I did some research on Google more and FINALLY found some instructions that actually worked!  What are eHow entry titled "How to move a calendar from a Palm Desktop for Outlook".  I did NOT find it directly from Google, but rather as something in another post that brought me kind of by chance for this post...

    Anyway, everyone should carry out this manoeuvre, here are the instructions:

    Go to the start menu and select programs.

    Move the slider to the Palm folder in the menu programs

    Click on the choice "enable the palm outlook conduits".

    Bingo!  He corrects the outlook conduits, and then you are set.

    DON'T FORGET, IF YOU ARE NEW IN OUTLOOK AND YOU WANT TO TRANSFER INFORMATION FROM YOUR PALM, YOU MUST GO INTO MANAGER HOTSYNC IN APPLICATIONS AND ALL SET TO GO THE OFFICE RATHER THAN SYNCHRONIZE POCKET.  synchronize is the default value.  This gives you all this emptiness, that is losing your data... not a good idea.

    Beware that the first synchronization of your handheld to an empty outlook may take time LOOOOONg, if your calendar years ago your Palm like mine don't...

    Now, I have everything in Outlook.

    Case solved!

  • Firefox on OSX will run with sudo, but not without. Without sudo, a standard "Profile missing" error.

    I recently moved to a new Macbook, and I can't get Firefox to start unless I run it with sudo.

    Under osx, I looked in Users/steven/Library/Application Support/Firefox as well as the profile was there, but still does not work. I tried to remove the folder of Firefox and the .plist file, and it has always failed.

    I looked at other issues of support that are similar, especially https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/951989?esab=a & as = aaq - but it's bad for me operating system.

    What I need now, I think, is a list of what folder locations and permissions * should * be defined on osx, because I know he'll be permissions since it works perfectly as root. If anyone of you have encountered this particular scenario before, and if yes, how do solve you this problem?

    Solved!

    Jscher2000 is right. Even if everything that said "steven: Editor", it wasn't very happy. It's what finally fixed it:

    Yori - 20:Firefox steven$ sudo chown-r steven: staff ~/Library/
    Yori - 20:Firefox steven$

    After that, it loaded perfectly.

  • 70 d EOS will pair with MacBook Pro using ad hoc network.

    Matching infrastructure (Airport) worked well.

    Matching via ad hoc network, failed however. Twinning on the Mac starts OK and recognizes the 70 d. When the camera is turned on, the window appears advising to follow the instructions on the LCD for 70 d. However, screen gets stuck on the message of pairing process and the small symbol of antenna radiating on the screen of the LCD monitor (on top of the camera) flashes indicating that he expects a connection.

    Utility EOS 2.13.20.0

    The problem was with the:

    EOS 70 d (w)

    Wi - Fi function

    Operating instructions

    provided with the camera. The instructions to set up an ad hoc network are not at all clear and left quite confused me.

    I turned instead:

    Wireless file transmitter

    EOS Utility Mode

    Mac OS x 10.5 - 10.6

    Although some different menus, (e.g. 70 d lack of network Assistant)

  • Slider in windows bars will not stay together but immediately slide upward.

    I can't get the scroll bar on exploring or for the volume to hold.  He slides up, so I can't see and select files.  Moves the selection bar (to select a file), but I can't view the file is on, if the file does not fit in the current window.  Volume maximum rest and if I try to down it slips immediately up.  I tried to change the volume in Control Panel and on the windows taskbar.  This problem seems widespread on all windows.

    Hi James,

    Thanks for the reply, but I found that it is my wireless mouse.  It turns out that the roller on the tope of the mouse has been stuck/pushed down and caused this to happen.  My battery kept running out pretty quickly and the issue of the slider bar has been extremely boring.  I don't know if I should buy any type of 'special' battery as it may be related to the power of the mouse.  However, for the moment, everything's fine!   Moreover, I had already done all kinds of tests and cleanups.  I hope that this has improved the total functioning of the laptop.

    Thanks again!

  • Had to crash my computer. Lost my recovery key. My iphone have paired with the previous installation. is it possible to recover the data?

    In order to upgrade my Windows xp computer to Windows 7, I lost access to firefox without thinking to generate a recovery key. Is it possible to recover my data?

    If the only thing you have coupled to the account is an iPhone response is that unfortunately not. Customer iPhone (Firefox Home) is just a 'consumer' of data Sync and can't do much.

    My best advice is to keep sync iPhone to access bookmarks and transfer it manually to your new profile.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    Read all comments (lots of old stuff on these communities) and tried all the suggestions of trashing the plist etc etc. Still unable to get my iPhone 6s to pair with my MBP end 2013.

    For a fleeting moment after that match it says connected not connected appears.

    AirDrop works, but my phone does not appear on the screen of the devices. If sending photos of the iPhone works well my avatar is not displayed as sender just my intials & where ever he gets the ints info not the name I use in my Contacts.

    Someone at - it any idea what is happening. This worked OK until recently.

    An iPhone will pair not via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) with the exception of hotspot and then only if your cell phone plan he supports. See below for more information. https://discussions.Apple.com/docs/doc-7722

    If you try to use the procedure of transfer/continuity or AirDrop, which does not have Bluetooth but devices don't are NOT matched. Bluetooth must be just on and the devices within range of the other. The following may help in problems of transfer/continuity: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204678
