Hi everyone


Something is missing on the above posts


My android phone pair with iPad Air but i cannot pair the iPad AIr with MacBook pro.


For the records they are bith legimit, and both appear with the same number, but after that the connection on MacBook Pro is broken and iPad keep trying to pair, although it find it.


Can this make some light on the posts above?


I really don't know if this is a problem as i had allready saw on other post that:

"iPad only pair with keyboards and speakers".


Can someone makes light on my mind about this issue?

You can not pair a phone or computer with an iPad, it just will not work and the iPads bluetooth profile does not have the capabilitie built in to do so.


Bluetooth once again on the iPad is meant for pairing with bluetooth keyboards, headsets, car stereos and to computers/phones only for the purposes of tethering which is to share the iPads cellular connection if it has that built in.
