Pairing your Nokia device with your Mac using Bluetooth

To pair your Nokia device with your Mac over Bluetooth, make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your Mac.

You will also need to enable Bluetooth on your Nokia device and make sure that your Nokia device is sharing data.

  1. Check the Bluetooth settings on your Nokia device. The settings can usually be located under Connect, Tools or Settings, depending on your Nokia device.*
  2. Turn Bluetooth On.
  3. Make sure your Nokia device is visible. If it is hidden, change it to Shown to all.

  4. On your Mac choose Set up Bluetooth Device from the Bluetooth item on the menu bar. If you do not see a Bluetooth item on the menu bar, go to System Preferences > Bluetooth > Devices and click Set Up New Device.
  5. The Bluetooth Setup Assistant window will open. Click Continue and select mobile phone as device type.
  6. Your Mac will begin searching for mobile phones. When you see your Nokia device's name on the list, select it and click Continue. Your Mac will now gather information about the Nokia device you selected. When it has completed, click Continue.
  7. You will then see a dialog with a passkey on it. Your Nokia device should now ask for a passkey to connect to your Mac. Enter the passkey displayed on your Mac and accept the connection requests from your Nokia device.

    Note: If you do not want your Nokia device to ask your permission to accept connections from your Mac each time you synchronize with iSync, you will need to change the Bluetooth settings on your Nokia device. You can either change this setting manually, or your Nokia device may ask if you would like to do this when you connect. To change it manually, find your Mac in the paired device list on your Nokia device, select your Mac from the list, and set your Mac as authorized to connect to your Nokia device.*

  8. Select the services you want to use with your device by checking the boxes (optional, though if you are using your Nokia as a modem,you will need to check Access the internet... ). If you are using iSync or Nokia Multimedia Transfer, you have now finished pairing your Nokia device and Mac and may press Continue. You should see a confirmation message displayed on your Mac.
