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

Hi,

tried everything (also log out and login to iCloud on both devices - Macbook Air early 2014 and iPhone 6) but when I pair Mac and iPhone they won't connect. Hope that 8.1 resolve issue 😠

Hi all !!!

I've repaired this problem!

All U need to do - go to Face Time settings on both devices,

then turn checkbox ""iPhone Cellular Calls" OFF,

and again turn ON

Found out how to fix:

Login with Google Talk in Messages. Send a (test)-message. Iphone automatically connects to MB (If you tried connecting them before!)

To determine your Mac's Bluetooth version

1. Click the  menu.
2. Select About This Mac.
3. Click on the More Info... button.
4. Click on the System Report... button.
5. Select Bluetooth from the sidebar on the left, underneath "Hardware."
6. Scan down the list of information until you find "LMP Version."

If your Mac is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0, LMP Version will say 0x6. Anything lower than that is an older version of Bluetooth.

Does your Mac come with Bluetooth 4.0, or are you going to need a new system to take full advantage of Yosemite and iOS 8

Same issue: Macbook Pro late 2013 with the OS X Yosemite 10.10 release; iPhone 5S 8.02. Everything is set up correctly and they can't seem to find each other to pair via bluetooth. They did find each other one time, however, (and showed a pairing number) but then the message popped up that my Macbook Pro is not supported.

Please READ the thread you posted to. As has been explained multiple times, for the new features it is neither necessary nor possible to pair iOS devices with a computer. It has never been possible (by design) and neither iOS 8 nor Yosemite changes that. Bluetooth must be ON for both devices, but not paired.

Yes, Lawrence Finch is correct.

I have MBP. If I open my Bluetooth Preferences I can watch the activity.

I am on the same wifi network with bluetooth enabled on my iPhone 5s and MBP.

If I start a message on my iPhone a separate little dock appears o my MBP.

When I click on that Message icon in the 'little dock' then and only then I will see that both my iPhone and MBP are connected in my MBP Bluetooth Preferences.

This happens momentarily and will go back to 'Not Connected' as soon as they are done talking to each other.

So yes, it does work.

Same here:

iPhone 5 and iPad mini Retina both with iOS 8.02 Airdrop fine together.

But my MacBook Air 2012 with Yosemite Final can´t find both iOS devices and can´t also be found.

I thought in some former Beta of Yosemite it worked.

@Apple: Please fix soon! ;-)

There's nothing to fix, and your plea falls on deaf ears, as Apple does not follow these user to user forums or respond in them.

Read the two messages above yours, as well as: Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite

@Lawrence: Thanks, surely I don't wanted to pair the devices with BT. I just want to do Airdrop. I think this is already possible with iOS 8.02 and Yosemite together ?

Thanks.

Yes, see: Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices

Mid-2012 MacAir, iPhone 5s, iPad Air.

Checked all the settings - all are lined up to allow handoff (incl. having the appropriate Bluetooth hardware), but I can't get it to work. It seemed to work Mac-to-Phone for a brief moment (a Safari handoff), but now that's stopped. Handoff also won't work from iPad to iPhone anymore either (used to till today). I tried everything on the help page you linked to and everything everyone here suggested, including logging out of iCloud on all devices, but no dice.

Also, the Mac Air doesn't see the iPhone (or iPad) in AirDrop nor do either iDevice see the Mac, but the phone and pad see each other. No idea what's wrong.

I guess I'll wait till Monday. If it still doesn't work, I'll have to take a trip to the Apple Store...

Doesn´t work.

same problem.i have iPhone6 plus and mid2012 macbook pro retina.i can't definitely connect each other to use handoff feature.i really don't understand what it is..!!!
