iPhone 5c running 9.3.5 won't bluetooth to MacBook running 10.11.6

I

iMore Question

I've had both the MacBook and the 5c for a few months now, started with 10.6.8 on the MacBook, iOS 8.something on the phone. Been upgrading each after trying to work things through, marginal success with either, not very happy.

One REALLY annoying problem is that I CANNOT get the 5c, now running 9.3.5 to sync via bluetooth to the MacBook running 10.11.6.

The MacBook sees the phone, but when I try to "pair", it shows the waiting to pair screen, with the same code showing on both the computer and phone, but when I hit pair, it says "connected" on the computer for a moment, "not connected" on the phone, and after about 10 seconds the computer shows "not connected".

I'm past being frustrated, and shopping for an Android device.

Thought I'd ask around, first...

Anyone have any thoughts? Advice? Suggestions?
