Mar 21, 2016 1:32 PM in response to ncitizenby FoxFifth,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. See the following for more information. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use AirDrop, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. Note however that AirDrop will not work between an iPhone and a Mac that is older than a 2012 model. See the quote below from Use AirDrop to send content from your Mac - Apple Support
To send items to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you need a 2012 or newer Mac model with OS X Yosemite or later, excluding the Mac Pro (Mid 2012).
