What, specifically, are you attempting to achieve by pairing your iPad with your Mac over a Bluetooth connection?
For the majority of applications, Bluetooth pairing of an iPad and Mac is entirely pointless. If your intention is to use Cellular Hotspot features of your iPad, this link is optimally achieved using the native WiFi hotspot connection - this being a largely automated process. Hotspot connections over WiFi offer substantially greater throughput, range and reliability.
