trouble with bluetooth pairing my macbook pro with iphone 13 pro max

I recently received a replacement iPhone 13 Pro Max which I'm trying to pair with my MacBook Pro mid 2014. The MBP has been updated -OS Sequoia and was paired with my old iPhone 13 Pro Max.

I'd appreciate any and all assistance!

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 18

You can certainly sync photos wirelessly, but you will have to turn that option on first by connecting the phone to the computer with a cable, then choose your sync options and check the wirelessly box under the General tab when viewing the iPhone in the Finder. This is because you have a new phone, and it was previously done with the other phone.


You cannot pair those devices with Bluetooth.
