I think Apple is becoming more and more annoying like Microsoft. So many restrictions on so many things. When will Steve Jobs learn to make things more normal?

I am running on Macbook 13″ Aluminium, 10.6.1 with all updates, iPhone 3.1.2. I was able to do tethering thru bluetooth on 3.0. But after upgrading to 3.1.2 I can’t pair my iPhone to Mac anymore. The cable method still works.

Anyway I able to solve the problem in a very doggy fashion. Here’s how.

1. Click the bluetooth icon on the menu bar, select set up bluetooth devices.
2. It will search iPhone, click continue, attempting to pair with iPhone blar blar blar, don’t click pair on iPhone, just let it time out.
3. On mac, it will prompt you an error saying blar blar blar in red text. Don’t bother that. Click the passcode options select do not use a passcode with this device.
4. remember to clear the iPhone error message before continue on mac.
5. Ok. you should now be able to “pair” mac with iPhone. go under tethering in iPhone, turn it on.
6. now go to the bluetooth icon in menu bar again. Select iPhone -> Connect to network. It will pop up a menu saying some passcode thingy. Click Yes! and it works!, for now, until another firmware upgrade…

Anyway I still can’t get it to work on my old Mac running 10.5.8. Argh… I hate cables.
