Macbook Air (mid-2012) won't pair with iPhone 6

The fact that Apple continuously works on lots of different stuff but isn't able to fix issues like that is so ridiculously stupid. I don't care about "Why can't I pair my iPhone with my Computer". All I want is a solution to be able to transfer files from my iPhone to my mac. And no, none of your suggested solution is actually acceptable.

USB cable --> No, I want to transfer files without cables,

WiFi, iCloud --> No I don't want to upload my files and then download it

email --> No, I don't want to send an email where I also have a limit of 20mb per email

MMS messaging --> Yes, sure. I don't want to pay for transferring my files?!

iMessage --> Ha! Tried that so many times, always had some kind of problems with connection or whatever. Plus I don't want to waste my limited Internet volume

plus many 3rd party solutions such as

Dropbox and OneDrive --> Not possible without Wifi plus same problems as with iMessage.

So it actually does limit the use of my iOS devices in many ways.

Seriously, why do I always need to find solutions to be able to use apple features. AirDrop, Silverlight, Photostream to just name a few of them. Why can't Apple just invent something what actually works? And even if: Why do private users need to write Guides for Apple Customer to make something work?

It's quite obvious that you and Apple products are incompatible. Get devices that work the way you want them to.

I have this problem too! i also have an iPhone 6, but i have a late 2013 Macbook pro retina. this is unacceptable Apple....

The answer has been posted several times in this thread, and probably hundreds of times in the forum as a whole, but for your convenience here it is again:

Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with another iOS device or with my computer?

Yes why dont Apple reply. This is a major issue, I am very frustrated. Now they have IOS 9.2 and the bug's still there

Read the message right above yours.

This worked perfectly for me. Went to Facetime on the MacBook Air, logged in, made sure cellular connect was on, and now the bluetooth pairing between the iPhone6s+ and my MB Air works perfectly. Thanks for the tip!

I had this issue on my iPhone 6 to macbook air 2010. It was working and then one day noticed it was not. Turned out I had disabled hotspot on my phone, once that was turned back on I could create a stable connection between the devices using bluetooth. Looks like continuity has turned into a lot of buttons and levers, I'm hoping things mature.

What do we do on this thread? Do we just say I have the same problem and go away never to get an answer?

Can't say p|ssed? Lol. I'm angry and was frustrated. Apple stole 45 mins of my life last night

War buff? Did you serve?

Me too is having the same problem of unable to pair Macbook Air with my iPhone6s using bluetooth
