Q: Bluetooth pairing

I experience difficulty to pair my iphone with my macbook pro. The devices are visible on both devices. I cannot "forget the device"on my iphone and when I pair, it connects but immediately disconnect after it has been connected.

Any suggestions how to the problem?

iPhone 5, iOS 8.0.2, OS Yosemite

Hi attieB from durbanville,

It looks like you using iOS 8.0.2 on your iPhone.

First please update to iOS 8.1

To get your iPhone to forget your Mac, see

iOS: Troubleshooting Bluetooth connections

where it says you can have the iPhone forget previously used Bluetooth devices.

Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
if your are connecting them for Continuity, please check out this article for details.

Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity

Best regards,
Nubz

Hi, I have the same exact issue with my iPhone 6 ad Macbook Air. I also have a brief connection before it's dissconnected. Im currently running OSX 10.10 on the Macbook, and iOS 8.1 on the iPhone. Ive resetted the network settings to no avail.
