When I connect an iPhone to one of the USB ports of my MacBook Air 2017, it keeps on reconnecting a few times per second. When I connect through BT, it connects, the bluetooth app says its not connected, while I can access it. I reinstalled Catalina (clean install), but to no avail. Any ideas?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
I'm not that aware of the MacBook Air, but I know that the iPhone and MacBook are not supposed to connect via Bluetooth for file transfer. I can find information about transferring via wi-fi, but not via Bluetooth.
I wanted to transfer my live photo's (as live photo, not as jpg) to my macbook air. Airdrop does not give the option 'open in photo's). If I connect my iPhone now with my macbook air, it is connected, but when I try to double click it (to be able to transfer files), the only option is 'disconnect this network', and the iphone does not show up in the finder...
Connecting with USB cable does not work either (it dis- and reconnects a few times per second...). Maybe this is to force you to use iCloud :-). Thanks for your help!
What are you trying to do by connecting your iPhone to your Mac via Bluetooth? Please explain.
usb/ Bluetooth connection switches off and on
