I'm trying to pair my Ipad to my Macbook Air. It says on my Ipad that Macbook Air is not supported. How do I fix this?

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) or an iPad except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. See the following for more information: Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or … - Apple Community

If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity or 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. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204681

Also see the following -- it uses Bluetooth but the devices are not paired: Share files between your Mac and Bluetooth devices - Apple Support

Yes, yes, iphone is close by and software is updated. Gone through "forget device" etc. etc. etc. Have no idea where the "bluetooth menu" is on my phone, though. I don't think I have one.

The only thing I said about AirDrop was:

and that is true.

The option to turn Bluetooth on is (or should be) at Settings > Bluetooth. It needs to be on but the devices are not Bluetooth paired. Also see other instructions in How to use AirDrop on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

There can be other reasons for that but pairing isn't one of them. If you've checked everything in How to use AirDrop on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support then you may want to use the Get Support link at the top right of this page.

It isn't supported -- see my previous post above.

This is the status and *it does not work*: "MacBook Air not supported." Bluetooth is on.
