Unable too connect Bluetooth from iPhone 6 plus to mac

[halftale]

its not just iPhone 6. My iPads wont connect either. It is funny because it did work fine...then it stopped.

I am having this same issue now. It used to work perfectly too. I called Apple Care and they said that I should never pair an iPhone to a MacBook. Does this make any sense? Any help or insight would be appreciated. I'm thinking about calling back and seeing if I can get someone else to help.

I really only had it for ease of use of iPhoto. Take a pic on my phone and it would go right into iPhoto on my MacBook. I was told that now I have to go into iCloud under the Shared section and look at it in My Photo Stream. It's not important, but I was just wondering why I couldn't get them to pair. I was getting network errors and errors saying my MBA wasn't a supported device.

Is this how it's supposed to be?

I guess when it was working it wasn't supposed to be working! LOL

Everything is good now that I understand how it's supposed to be used. Thanks for the help.

Does your Mac meet the requirements listed via the following link?

Yup, late 2013 MBP

I am in the same boat here. I am trying to pair my iPhone 6 to my rMBP 15 (late 2013) and they cant pair. The message is very strange:

"Connection Unsuccessful, XXXXX MacBook PRo not supported, Forget Device"

I am trying to share the Wifi my Mac is connected to, over Bluetooth so that I can browse through my iPhone. This doesn't seem to be a so crazy thing what I am trying to do. And the message doesn't make any sense....It sounds like an Apple glitch, I am using iOS 8.3 and OSX 10.10.3.

for what it's worth, I couldn't get an iPhone 6+ and an iPhone 6S+ to pair to a couple of macs, but when I enabled Personal Hotspot on a given iPhone and connected to hotspot (from bluetooth symbol on menu), it seemed to fix the pairing problem!

[on one of the phones I did install authy before starting this, but I didn't really know what I was doing and I'm 99% sure it didn't do anything...]

when you try to airdrop photos don't let the phone time out or go to sleep, i did that and it failed the second time i sent photos via airdrop i kept my finger on the screen so it wouldn't time out and was finished sending..it delivered the photos to another phone perfectly..about 75 photos

I am getting same issue. My iPhone 5C is not scanning surrounding bluetooth peripherals. What is the problem? Please help me.

Anyone solved this issue? I Can't connect my iPhone 5s with iOS10 with my Macbook Pro with Sierra.

I may have solved it. Make sure your personal hotspot switch is turned on. It is in your settings.
