Q: Bluetooth pairing and so handoff does not work

Hi!

 

First of all I have a Macbook Pro 15" Retina late 2013 (bought at in the first months of 2014) and and iPhone 5s.

rMBP has installed OS X Yosemite since yesterday and my iPhone iOS 8.0.2

 

Positiv checks:

- both devices support Bluetooth LE

- both devices are on the same wi-fi network

- rMBP support handoff and instant hotspot as displayed in system information screen

- rMBP could "out call" over facetime and my iPhone to anyone

- bluetooth is activated on both devices

- airdrop (for everyone) is activated on both devices

- handoff in settings -> general on rMBP ist actived

- handoff in settings -> generall -> handoff & ... ist activated on iPhone too

 

Problems:

- handoff does not work between my rMBP and iPhone

- in bluetooth settings both devices see each other, but they cannot connect to each other

 

if I try to connect bluetooth from rMBP to iPhone I get: network not available

if I try to connect bluetooth from iPhone to rMBP I get: connections failed

 

so what can I do to pair/connect them both to each other for these incredible handoff features I want to use?

 

things I tried out:

- switching airdrop on and off on both devices

- switching airdrop off and on on both devices

- switching bluetooth off and on on both devices

- clearing bluetooth device cach on rMBP and fresh select (pairing) in the settings

- multiple trys on my iPhone to connect with my rMBP

- resetting network settings on iPhone

- resetting all settings on iPhone

 

I run out of ideas .... can anybody help me please!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10)
