Q: Bluetooth on ios 8 can't connect with iMac 10.9.5

I upgraded my iphone 5s to ios 8 over the weekend.  When I tried to connect my iphone 5s using bluetooth to my iMac at work running OSX 10.9.5 (the very most recent available production release), the phone won't connect.  I have told them to both forget each other and repaired, and also reset network settings on the iphone per some of the car-based threads.  However when I pair the iPhone shows as connected very briefly on the iMac (never on the iPhone) and then goes to Not Connected on the iMac.  This is with the two devices sitting with 2 feet of one another.  This worked correctly prior to the upgrade to ios 8

iPhone 5s, iOS 8

    Thank you for your response.

     

    Ok.  This is what I am trying to do.  I have downloaded some audiobooks to my iMac, and have added them to my Playlist. 

     

    I would like to listen to them on my iPhone6 Plus, or my iPod  (3rd generation).

     

    How can I do this WITHOUT syncing my devices, and possibly losing some of the other audiobooks that I still have on them.  I'm just afraid of losing items, with a sync.  That's why I use the iCloud to back up my iPhone, instead of my computer.

     

    Thank you, ahead of time, for a response.

    As long as all the audiobooks that are on your iPod/iPhone are still on your computer you will not lose them from your devices when you sync.
