I'm in Turkey and my carrier supports internet tethering. I tried to connect my iPhone to my MBP via bluetooth. Pairing is successful but when i click "connect" on my MBP, nothing happens. Or I tap my Macbook's name on my iPhone there was this message "... macbook pro is not supported" and iphone forgets device... Is there a solution about this problem?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1), 13inch, 2,3 GHz Intel i5, 4GB DDR3
I don't think there is a way to connect your wifi via bluetooth... it's through wifi. Turn on tethering, and then turn on wifi on your MBP, find the iphone in the WiFi list and you're set.
I'm trying to use iPhone's 3G internet on my MBP. Instead of USB, I want to tether it via bluetooth. As a personal hotspot i mean.. But connection fails everytime I try. My older laptop I could connect without a problem.
oh, I'm sorry about the previous information as it was wrong. If you're getting this error, that means that your model of MBP does not support bluetooth tethering. I would suggest trying to tether through wifi as that may result in a better, supported connection.
What model MBP do you have. this is very important information when you are posting about your issues.
got to >about thie mac. and give us all the information on there.
My MBP is 13-inch, Early 2011, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and Mac OS X 10.7.1
oh. so that's not the issue. what ios are you running on then? maybe you need to install the latest one?
my other guess is for you to turn on bluetooth sharing in sharing>bluetooth sharing, however I don't see anything for internet tethering.
here are the system requirements for tethering: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574
