We are Unable to synch iphone5 Bluetooth to our imac

After a tiring run, getting a new 'nano sim' for our first iphone, we tried to sync iphone with our imac via bluetooth.

Step 1. Attempting to pair request goes successful from imac to iphone, where we click on 'pair'

Step 2. Here's the info. we get on our iphone. 'Now Discoverable' but it also says 'not connected'. The Devices 'Wait circle keep going round n round.

Step 3. The 'Conclusion' on the imac says 'Congratulations! And the option of 'Quit' button flashes.

Step 4. On the iphone, on clicking on the ''Shamshi imac' Not Connected bar, it says 'Connection Unsuccessful' "Shamsi... imac' is not supported. And the only option "Forget Device' Appears.


Repeated this process after switching on/ off both the imac and iphone last evening, several times.

Tried again, this morning.... kindda tired out already!


Optimistic to get immediate help, or do we keep thinking after the hype and hoopla all over India for the new iphone, we should still go back to the time tested samsung and nokia's.

Phew!!! Help!!!!!!

iPhone 5

You import pictures via whatever software your computer uses to import pictures from a digital camera. The sync process which is what you use for contacts, calendars etc, is either done via iTunes and the USB cable, or you can sync the newer devices via wifi, or you can use iCloud. Ana has provided you with a good resource regarding the sync process.


This is about importing photos http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 This is about syncing pictures back via iTunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236. This also addresses the sync process http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296 and this addresses backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946.
