Q: iphone 6+ not pairing with mac air
I cannot figure out when I try to pair my iphone6+ with my mac, it still says not connected. When I try and pair them it states to make sure the number code matches, which it does. I press pair on iphone6+ and it will not pair up successfully. Why?
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

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: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204678
