Hi, I'm facing connection problems trying to create a bluetooth connection between my iphone (iOS 8.0.2) and MacBook Pro with the new OS X Yosemite.
I'm not able to pair the two devices

Same here....
Can't pair my MBP, IMAC (Yosemite), iPAD mini, iPhone, or iTouch Pro (iOS 8.0.2). Same network, same Bluetooth version.
LMP Version 0x6 means the computer has Bluetooth adapter 4.0. ("If your Mac is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0, LMP Version will say 0x6. Anything lower than that is an older version of Bluetooth.")
Details here: http://www.imore.com/how-tell-if-your-mac-has-bluetooth-40
But somehow, the connection between the devices (MacBook and iPhone) is not stable: it keeps getting the error messages ("This Device Does Not Have The Necessary Services", "Not connected", etc) reported by you all.
I just updated to Yosemite today and I have iOS 8.0.2. I hope with Apple fix this issue with the iOS 8.1 that will be released next Monday (10/20) and, if needed, an update for OS X as well. Until there, the handoff won't work well.
Thanks for the release date for iOS 8.1. Fingers crossed.
Im having the same problem. I've been waiting for this and now its not as to expectation...apple, fix this soon please
Same thing here! iPhone 5s ios 8.0.2 and macbook air mid 2013 yosemite wont sinc.
Same issue, Iphone 5 and MBP r late 2012.
It pairs for a couple of seconds then disconnets
I don't think its an IOS8 issue rather a Yosemite issue - Handoff for me worked great in the Beta, now nothing. Tomorrow I will play with a beta in a virtual machine and see if I can get the Handoff feature to once again work.
Also, the ability to receive SMS on the iMessage isn't operational yet either. Apparently they are addressing this with iOS 8.1 which is to be released on the 20th. Seriously, Apple would be better off not promoting things that aren't ready for the release and then come in later and say "Look! We've enhanced it!!!" Then they look like Santa instead of boobs.
I am also having this issue, attempts to pair then drops connection after a second or two. I have a MBP 15" late 2011 OS X 10.10 & iPhone 5s iOS 8.0.2
It worked at first connection. it didn't connect second day. Also even if the iphone bluetooth off my mac act like there is iphone in range and it stuck there. I can't get rid of it from devices list.
I have similar problems. Iphone 6, IOS 8.0.2 will not pair with MBAir, Yosemite for more than a couple of seconds. It didn’t work on Maverick either. It connects, but immediately disconnects. Distance 20 cm or so. Iphone connects without problems with my car system, and Mac connects without problems with Apple keyboard and mouse. The Mac appears twice in the device list on the iPhone, but only one can be deleted.
The rumor (e.g., MacRumors) is that this Bluetooth pairing bug will be fixed in iOS 8.1 due to be released tomorrow, Monday October 20. Let's hope. If so I will be pleased, but also ****** that I spent hours with Apple support yesterday failing to fix the problem, which they ought to have known about.
same here, can see my iphone 5s, but cannot pair. my macbook air used to pair with my bluetooth audio device on maverick os but after yosemite, it doesn't even find my bluetooth headset.
In my case, the problem is with yosemite os x since my devices used to work fine with maverick os x
All of you are barking up the wrong tree!
Handoff does not require Bluetooth pairing between your Mac and your iPhone.
Stop trying to pair them.
The Bluetooth just has to be turned on all devices.
