after updating laptop to sonoma, cannot see iphone & watch in bluetooth devices, phone sees the MacBook, but attempting to pair, says "pairing unsuccessful, [my] MacBook Pro is not supported"
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.1
Bluetooth pairing an iPhone or iPad and a Mac is not supported.
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: Work seamlessly across all your devices - Apple Support
Also see Share files between your Mac and Bluetooth devices - Apple Support
