Hi everyone, Being the person who started this thread, I’m kind of bummed out that, despite all of your helpful suggestions, I still can’t get this feature to work. I believe that I will put this on hold until I can go to the Mac store. My thanks to all of you for your input! Mike > On 15 Se

To add to Jurgen's message, I understand that hands off has to be enabled on both devices too. I've not tried it but I have recently read about this somewhere on the web. So it's bluetooth has to be enabled, both devices have to be on the same wifi and hands off has to be enabled too. > On 15

I suppose that approach works, but it seems like a lot of trouble, just to get text from one device to the other. I have a feeling that I have to enable something in my settings. I once succeeded in getting this feature to work, but it involved turning my iPhone off and on several times, whi

What I do is copy or cut the text from the Mac, make a new message to one of my other email addresses, pasting the text in the message. That way, I can open that message in my iPhone, copy or cut the text I had pasted, then paste that into the document app there I use. Hth Sharon H. > On
