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

i have this question too but i think it fixed in ios8.1

Have you followed all of the instructions posted uncountable times in this thread, particularly Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite

have read tons of article something like that and yes everytihing turn on both devices.wifi-bluetooth-handoff feature ex..no way to connect..!!!

Don't read tons of anything. Read that ONE Apple knowledge base article and carefully follow every step in it. Including making sure your hardware is compatible (one of the first steps). And don't try to pair BlueTooth between your phone and your Mac; at best it won't pair; at worst it will screw up BlueTooth.

it says mid 2012 or later and my device 2012 mid as you can see and other all the others turn on.handsoff-bluetooth-same wifi and no pair.

I may have posted in the wrong thread, since I am having issues w/Handoff, not pairing.

Lawrence - yes, I did follow the instructions on the "Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite" page you posted multiple times. Handoff started working in limited fashion just suddenly on its own - Mac to iDevice. But iPhone to Mac only works for some apps - can't get the iWorks apps to work - and iPad to Mac doesn't work at all. (Oh, and iWorks apps Mac to iDevice doesn't open the actual document; just the app.)

Have you upgraded the iWorks apps?

Yeah....thanks for trying to help. I'll wait till Monday.

I believe this feature needs iOS 8.1 which launches Monday.

I am having this same issue....someone said to try loging out of iCloud on mac and log back in to see if pairing will work...

I have the exact same issue. Using iPhone 6 and Q4 2013 MacBook Air with Yosemite. I even have the new AirPort Extreme. I spoke with Apple and the tech could not help me, he said things are very new and still learning the issues. He bumped it up to an L2 tech and I am waiting to speak with them when they call me. Funny this never happened to Timmy during the Apple presentation.

Apple please chime in, your toys are too expensive for this Sh$t!!!!

That won't work

Apple does not read or respond to posts in this forum.

Do you have the EXACT same issue? That is, you can't BlueTooth pair your iPhone and your Mac? If that's the problem that you have, as has been said innumerable times, that's because that isn't how the Continuity features work. It isn't necessary or possible to pair via BlueTooth; BlueTooth just has to be on for both devices. If your problem is not the EXACT same issue please describe what you are trying to do and what the results are. Also, read the KB article that has been linked to many times in this thread.

my understanding in order to answer the phone from Mac and text you have to sync your iPhone via bluetooth....if you are saying this is not the case than how is this to work because it sure isn't. I can use handoff on my email no problem (when I save the message as a draft) on iCloud email only but how are you to sync phone if bluetooth is not connected?

It syncs via BlueTooth, but it uses a BlueTooth 4 protocol that does not require that the devices be paired. Please read the Continuity link that has been posted several times in this thread alone. It explains in detail how to set up the various continuity features. You will notice that nowhere does it say pairing is required. I've set it up and used tested some of the features and it works without pairing.
