I don't use Pastebot on this computer very often, but it has worked previously without difficulty. Today, the menu shows "Disabled..." in grey text, and Pastebot doesn't allow me to copy & paste between Mac and device.

Pastebot Mac menu

  • I downloaded the Mac preference pane and installed it again. This seemed to work OK, although there were two messages about "... is from an unidentified developer", to which I said Open.

  • I followed the Pastebot process to pair my new iPad 4, and this seemed to work OK: the numeric password showed up on the Mac, and I typed it. But I still see Disabled in the Mac menu bar, and it doesn't seem to sync.

  • This was working previously with my iPhone 4S, but it doesn't now.

  • Pastebot is turned on in the Mac pref pane.

  • The Firewall is turned off on the Mac.

  • The Pastebot support site doesn't seem to mention this possibility.

  • I can't see any relevant messages in Console.app.

  • Everything else about the Mac, iPad, iPhone seems to be working OK.

Any ideas how I might get Pastebot working again?

Well, the answer was right in front of me, but I didn't see it.

To fix this problem, choose the first item in the menu: "Enable Pastebot Sync".

Duh!
