Problems with getting the MacBook pro bluetooth to detect client devices he already never associated with.

Hello.

I am unable to get my Macbook pro to detect devices, that it has never been previously connected.

The Macbook pro is detectable by the Bluetooth devices, but I don't seem to have an option to be able to detect the client devices.

My macbook pro gives the possibility to be discoverable - mode client for example, I want to discover clients for example, speakers, headphones.

My bluetooth speakers or headphones work fine on my Ipad so I know the beat headphones works well.

The pro macbbook is detectable and I can connect by Ipad or phone for her, so I don't know the bluetooth on the Macbook works fine.

Once coupled display in the area of discovery - and can be connected to.

I think, basically, it means that the Macbook pro connects as a client - but I don't see an option to put in Server mode.

How can I do so that it looks non-paired devices - I use 10.11.5 (15F34) attempts to connect to the Beats headphones.

I have reset PRAM etc.

I even tried plugging an external bluetooth USB adapter - this did not provide additional options.

Concerning

You have removed the devices you are trying to connect to the MacBook Pro? BT devices may only be connected to one thing at a time.

  • How to get the MacBook Pro 10.8 to connect to LaserJet P1006 shared by Vista-based computer

    HP Laserjet P1006 have connected via USB cable to the computer Windows Vista (SP2).

    Prints fine in the windows box.

    In vista, windows shares.

    Try to connect the printer to a Macbook Pro 10.8.

    HP1006 drivers downloaded from the HP website.

    Tried to connect via SMB, as many websites has loaded. (Using the Advanced tab and selecting the printer from windows via spoolss.

    When I print, I see the print job to start, but nothing ever happens. I have to cancel the job.

    I also tried to activate LPD on vista and then connect a Mac using the LPD.  Similar results.

    HP has a guide that guide a person through how to share a windows computer and then connect a 10.8 Mac to the windows computer to printing?

    Something else which also confuses me, even if I installed the drivers 1006 on Mac, they do not appear when I goto Advanced-> use: choose a driver model or a printer.

    Hello

    First of all, that the drivers installed on the HP site?

    The printer drivers for 10.8 non-existent Apple and not on the HP site, downloading the site exclusively for Mac OS X 10.5 or lower.

    If you have installed a HP software, remember to delete following HP uninstaller or manually remove drivers by going to the library > printers and moving the HP folder in the Recycle Bin.

    Next enter SDPP/happy/Resources. You can get P1006 in this folder and move the files to the trash.

    Then, install the following package to have the printer drivers installed on your system:

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/DL907

    Once the drivers insalled, follow the steps below to try to add the printer manually:

    1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    2. Choose Print & Scan.
    3. Click on the button + to add a printer.
    4. Press the control key while clicking on the icon 'Default' (or any other icon on the toolbar), and then choose Customize toolbar on the shortcut menu that appears.
    5. Drag the icon of advanced (gear) in the toolbar.
    6. Click done.
    7. Click on the Advanced icon that has been added to the toolbar.
    8. Choose the menu Type drop-down Windows.
    9. In the URL field, type the address of the printer in one of the following formats:

      SMB://workgroup/server/sharename
      SMB://Server/sharename

      Note: "workgroup" is the name of the Windows workgroup that the computer sharing the printer belongs. "Server" is the name of the computer sharing the printer (or its IP address). "share name" is the shared Windows printer share name. If the share name contains spaces, replace each space with "% 20" (without quotes).

      Tip: you don't need a "working group" when you specify the IP address of the computer (for example when the printer is on a different subnet), or if your Mac belongs to the same workgroup Windows (SMB).

    10. In the name field, type the name that you want to use for this printer in Mac OS X.
    11. Select the appropriate PPD or printer driver from the pop-up menu "with the help of Print."
    12. Click on Add.

    Printer sharing is a feature of the operating system and not a feature provided by HP, still further it is more complicated and involve many aspects of operating system (e.g. advanced Options of sharing, etc.) while using such a device on a such different envoirnments, why HP doesn't provide any guide also and do not support such a task.

    Hope you find this information helpful,

    We have no way of knowing exactly what you have tried that doesn't work unless you tell us. A flashing question mark boot means that your Mac is unable to locate a startup disk to boot from.

    If you haven't tried... start your Mac holding the key Option. That should launch the boot window manager have been, you can select the startup disk, and then click on restart.

    If this does not help, you will need to take the Mac for the service.

    Why did you start a new post? Post again only after only 8 minutes accomplished nothing.

    There is no general problem going to EL Capitan on your Mac.

    Some applications may require updating.

    Some devices like printer may require the updated drivers. For some readers of devices not being updated are available.

    This is the Office Mac Pro forum. I asked that your post be moved to the El Capitanforum or another appropriate forum.

    I have the macbook pro (OS 10.6.8) and the iphone 6 s. The latest version of iTunes is 11.4. When it is connected to the MAC, I get the message that itunes must be upgraded. How to synchronize or import/export files(images/music)?  Fact is need to update itunes?

    Hi sonalnj,

    I understand that you cannot synchronize your iPhone as iTunes is requested it must be updated. I can help you with that.

    According to the technical specifications for a 6 s iPhone, you need a Mac running OS X v10.8.5 or later version with iTunes 12.3 or later. Because you are on OS X 10.6.8 your version of iTunes is up to date with this OS.

    iPhone 6 s Tech Specs
    http://www.Apple.com/iPhone-6s/specs/

    Now to fix that, you need to update your Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.11 El Capitan. If you want to go to the Mountain Lion, you can do it with the first link below. The cost will be $19.99 and a code will be delivered to you if you can download it via the Mac App Store. Once you have upgraded, be sure to make all software updates to go with him to get the latest version of iTunes.

    Now the other option is to move to OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and is a free update that you can do right in the Mac App Store, if you meet the system requirements. Take a look at the following article for more details on how to do it.

  • Try to reinstall osx to sell the macbook pro, but when it starts to install I get a window saying 'impossible to find information about this installation machine' "contact applecare".

    I erased from my hard drive to sell the macbook pro to my father.  "" When I go to install OSX I am invited to install OS X El Capitan and it will check computer and a window pops up saying 'Impossible to find information about this installation machine' "contact AppleCare.  I have an APPT with the Apple store Monday, but was hoping I could fix myself first.  Anyone have any ideas?

    When you disassemble a machine for sale, the only Mac OS X can be installed without providing WHAT YOUR Apple ID is the original version it comes with.

    You can not install ElCapitan in this situation, what is left as an exercise for the buyer.

    Hi Stephen39,

    Do you have any 3rd party plugin installed for Adobe Reader? If not, close all instances of Adobe Reader running and delete the entire folder to: C:\program Adobe [version] \Reader\plug_ins.

    Now go to control panel > programs and features. Locate the entry for Adobe Reader X and choose to repair the installation.

    If you do not have a 3rd party plugin installed, try to uninstall them and see if the problem is related to the same. If it works, let me know what plugins have been the origin of the problem so that I can have a look.

    If all goes well, this should fix things.

    Thank you

  • Apple devices will not print not to 6700 Officejet, including the MacBook Pro and iPad

    I'm helping someone to implement their MacBook Pro and iPad to print wirelessly on their Officejet 6700. I have recently set them up with a new Apple Airport Extreme for their router. The printer connects to the wireless network. During the installation process of the printer is fine, that the MacBook can easily see the printer. The appropriate driver is installed. They also have a laptop Windows 7, which prints instanteously and has no problem whatsoever.

    When I try to print from the Mac, nothing prints. I open the print queue and it says 'Printing - a printer' and nothing ever comes of it. When you try to print from the iPad, you can see the printer and I select. However, after saying in print, said only dialog box: 'Connection to the printer' and he never - it just times out.

    Things I've tried:

    • Everything in this article which corresponds to Macs (10.8).
    • Reset the printing on Mac system.
    • Reset the printer to default settings.
    • The definition of the static IP address of the printer through the printer settings.
    • Setting the IP address of the printer via the Airport utility (after changing the automatic printer).
    • Restart the Mac after each attempt to remove the printer and adding again.
    • Using the official HP Officejet 6700 driver.
    • Use the Airprint driver.

    Other info:

    • Successfully, I can ping IP address of the printer from the MacBook Pro.
    • I can easily see the web page of configuration of the printer in the printer settings both by entering the IP address.
    • The printer is only about a month.
    • They bought this printer because the earlier had problems printing from all of their wireless devices. It is with a previous router in their ISP.

    At this point, I'm completely puzzled as to why the printer will print not these Apple devices. We have addressed all the issues that might be causing it: the network, the printer and the MacBook itself. I looked online and can't see any problem with people not being able to print to a wireless printer connected to an Airport Extreme. I saw some problems when the printer is connected via USB to an Airport Extreme, but this isn't our installation program.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Wow, I must admit, I had to do a lot of research to find something that you have not already tried! Thanks for your efforts so far @derick03 I accept the challenge of helping you get this to work.

    I have a vague feeling that the problem may have something to do with the router settings and to test my theory, I would like to try something for me.

    Please, open the preferences system, printing and scanning, click on the + symbol to add a printer, but this time, instead of the default tab, click the IP tab. Now let's add the printer using HP Jet Direct Protocol instead of the standard Hello.

    You can enter the IP address here, choose the HP Jet Direct and then select the printer driver, and then try to print. You will not be able to analyze this way, I just do this for diagnostic purposes. If you can print, it confirms the Hello Protocol is, and you will need to call Apple to make them turn on Hello, multicast and ensure that all the necessary ports are open.

    Not all wireless routers take load Hi or all features of Hello. Hello being the default method for the discovery of printers on a network, you must ensure that your wireless router supports Hello.
  • What is the macbook pro last?

    Hello, I am a student and I bought my first Macbook Pro 3 weeks.

    I love it and was not able to get my hands on it since!

    So today when I came home and was about to check my e-mail, it happened suddenly empty!

    Black! I tried to reboot several times with different combinations, but not of chance that he will not go beyond the login screen.

    I got help from Apple and could activate in Safeboot but always lights in normal mode.

    I'm really upset because I was SO careful with her. He did not leave my room, I have same press as light as possible and put my mousepad touch click so I don't have to support as much...

    As I said though, I used it a lot, a lot of videos, making notes, websites, etc. etc. I don't turn a lot of nights and close the form.

    Y at - it advice or habits that I could make to my macbook it's bad for her?

    And how much time the macbook pro durent usually? I have 13 inch Retina display with mid-range ram and processor, so it was not the cheapest, it was one of the more expensive down 13 inches.

    I'm so afraid now because I'm a student and the death of my macbook on me in the future near or frequently (I only had it for 3 weeks) he's going to make things really difficult. So according to the pleading of your experience, I hope to upgrade to Apple Care or what not. They give you a replacement if it should be fixed?

    I was hoping that it will last at least 5 years, would be a great expectation?

    Thanks in advance for your advice!

    It's just a mistake software, Terminal at all. So we know what you have in running which is the cause and for this we need a report. Download Etrecheck, run the report and post it here, you can do in Mode safe
