Pairing Your Mac With Your Phone

Most mobile phones are equipped with Bluetooth technology. Did you know that a Mac also has Bluetooth? This article will show you how easy it is to pair your phone with your Mac.

On the Mac at the top of your screen you will see a Bluetooth icon. Click the icon and select "Turn Bluetooth On". Then make sure the "Discoverable" is checked.

On your phone make sure it's Bluetooth is on and also in "Discoverable" mode. On the phone select the option to set up a new Bluetooth device. It should find your Mac and give you a code to pair the two. A pop up window on your Mac will ask you to enter the pass-code you set up on the phone.

Once the Mac and phone are paired click the Bluetooth icon at the top of the Mac's screen. Now select "Browse Device". It will pull up a screen where you can select the phone. Once that is selected you can browse the phone's photos and other files depending on what your phone allows.

I use it mainly to transfer photos from my phone to the Mac. This can be achieved by dragging them to the desktop. You can also on some phones send and receive contacts to and from Apple's address book.

After you have finished turn the Bluetooth off on the Mac and Phone. The next time you wish to pair your Mac should already be saved in the phone.

Bluetooth technology on the Mac also makes it possible to use Apple's wireless keyboard and mouse. It is a great feature to have and is another feature found on most Mac computers. Some PC computers are starting to utilize this as well.
