Bluetooth speakers won't connect with new Macbook Pro

I just sold my Macbook Pro (mid 2012 release) and purchased the brand new lighter, faster Macbook Pro Retina display that was just released a couple of weeks ago (Mid 2014).
There are a host of things this new Pro can't/won't do (which I didn't know upon purchasing it), but my question right now is: why won't my bluetooth speakers (which worked great with my other Macbook Pro) properly connect/work with my new one?  The bluetooth recognizes the speakers--it says they're there in the bluetooth set up--but they don't work, nor do they show up in my sound options (In my system preferences, only the internal speakers are listed as available output devices).  Why would they be visible but not able to be connected?
Is there a fix?  Can I get my bluetooth speakers to work?  Or are these more things (along with my Apple Remote) that I have to scrap?
Thanks!

  • Slow PAN connection with new MacBook Pro

    I have an older MackBook Pro, one of the first, running 10.5.5 and and brand new MacBook Pro bought today.
    When I use Bluetooth to hook via PAN to the older MBP I get 65-85k downloads, when I use the new MBP I get a stuttering 3-6k. I've used the same setup pair procedure with both MBPs and even gone as far as retraining the older MBP and eliminating it for the phone/shutting off the older machine with no luck.
    Any ideas ?

    I have pair and deleted the AT&T Tilt several times on both my old MBP and my new MBP. The Old MBP still performs a full speed when using PAN to connect to the internet. My new MBP is a DOG through PAN, 3-4k max download with long periods of no activity.
    I've looked at both computers Preference files and they are basically the same. There is a difference between the Bluetooth software on the two machines even though they both run 10.5.5, I guess different bluetooth chips?
    The older MBP uses a Cambridge chipset
    The new MBP reports a Broadcom chipset.
    I'm getting a bad feeling from this switch...

  • InFocus X2 Can't Connect with New MacBook Pro

    I'm trying to use my old (but reliable) InFocus X2 projector with a new MacBook Pro I recently purchased. I have the correct adapter (mini-port), but the inFocus X2 is just not able to find the mac. It just shows "searching...."
    The X2 projector shows up on my "Detect Displays" window on the Mac.
    Any "words of wisdom?" I was able to connect to this projector with my two older macbooks okay.

  • My iPod nano's bluetooth won't connect with my Macbook Pro after pairing, why?

    Just purchased a new 7th generation iPod nano, synced it up to my iTunes account using the cable and charged it fully.
    All working fine, except for when I tried to then connect it via bluetooth.
    My Macbook Pro (which also has all the latest updates) was able to discover my iPod and when prompted to pair I did so and was presented with a code to verify on my iPod nano's screen. I clicked to confirm, and that is where the journey stopped.
    when I try to connect it tells me it has failed and asks if it is within range, when it was sat an inch away.
    I have tried reseting the iPod, forgetting the connection and pairing again several times, and tried to pair and connect whilst the cable was attached.
    I'm assuming it's the iPod that is at fault as my mouse is fine.
    I have run out of ideas.

    Just sync, I'm not sure what else it is suppose to be able to do as I am yet to achieve a connection.
    I am assuming it should be able to sync my library, playlists, etc.

  • IMessage won't sync with new macbook pro

    I purchased a Macbook pro today and I can't seem to get my iMessages that I have on m iPhone 6 onto my mac. Calendar and mail are working.

    Hi,
    It will "Sync" (or rather "display on all devices") only from the time you set it up.
    It will not grab "historical" iMessages.

  • Experiencing Slow Internet Connections with new Macbook Pro

    I have had the laptop since December and I have had several problems regarding the internet. Just a little background, I have always had pretty fast internet and have never experienced any of these problems with any other computers. My family owns 2 other PC's(ew) and they don't have any problems with internet speed.
    Examples:
    -90% of the time my arrow will not change to the hand when something is clickable
    -downloading songs takes forever, even when they are only 10 megabytes
    -pages wont load even simple ones such as search engines
    The overall feel of my connection is slow and the sites i use are the basic ones which dont require too many flashy things.
    When I reset my modem the internet works better for a little bit but then goes back to its old ways.
    If you guys could give me any tips on the preferences i should have please help

    How are you connected to the internet?
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

  • Macally BT mouse won't pair with new macbook pro 13!?!

    Tried deleting pref. file, reset pram, nothing will get this mouse to pair with my new computer, mouse works with other mbp w/snowleopard.

    Ha, they dont even want to let me download lion with this new machine I just bought less than a month ago.
    Not sure I undertstand that.  You machine came with lion didn't it?
    This is not an isolated problem however, I've read alot of other people with this same situation going on, so I think I'm going to try putting snow-leopard on this thing and see if I can narrow it down to an oversight/bug w/os x 10.7.2.  
    Ok, I'm confused.  Did you intend to say you are going to try to put lion 10.7.0, or 10.7.1?  The reason I ask is that if yours is a new machine that came with lion, then from what I read you cannot install a version of the OS earlier than what was originally installed on your machine.  Check some of the hits on this google search.

  • My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

    Ah, sure it actually won't.  I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support.  They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
    The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug.  It's a feature!!"
    Personally, I think this is insane.  While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
    I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
    By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection.  There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network.  The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place.  At least mine won't.

  • Connect my new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to my HP PhotoSmart B210

    How can I connect my new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion to my hp b210 printer?  My printer is about 1.5 years old and works wirelessly just fine with my PC.  I just switched to mac.  The printer is supposed to be airprint compatible according to HP.  HP has no software drivers for me to download.  Instead they say to use Mac Software Update to get the software.  However, there are no updates when I try that.  I have tried adding the printer manually using it's IP address and can print a test page, but when I try to print using an application on the Mac it cannot find the printer or says the printer is in use.  Help!!!

    Are you sure it has no usb port?

  • Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

    Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

    I have same results. I have an ipad mini and it will not pair with my apple keyboard. I bought a mini keyboard with bluetooth 3.0 and it will not pair either.  Is my ipad defective?  Or do i need a keyboard with bluetooth 4.0?  Also - the mini keypad will pair with my ipad2 and my iphone 4.  Only difference I can find is the ipad mini has bluetooth 4.0.  Seems it should be downward compatible but maybe not.. I am not a blutooth expert!

  • TS1569 My Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (2003, White) won't pair with my MacBook Pro

    My Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (2003, White) won't pair with my MacBook Pro anymore.  It seems just randomly became unresponsive.  I took them both to the genius bar and everything worked fine.  When I got home, NOTHING worked! Any Ideas??
    The batteries are fine, and it will not pair with my wife's MacBook either.

    iPhones and Macbooks cannot pair to each other except for internet sharing.
    Most Bluetooth operations between them (like Airdrop) do not require they be paired.
    What exactly are you attempting to do by pairing them?

  • After the 2015-002 update to Mavericks, I keep losing wi-fi connection with my Macbook Pro.

    After the 2015-002 security update to Mavericks, I keep losing my wi-fi connection with my Macbook Pro. My Kindle Fire stays connected, so I'm assuming the problem is connected to the update. I have to be right next to the router, or sometimes the next room, to stay connected. Sometimes it stays connected for a few hours, no matter where I'm at in the house, then all of sudden it won't. Haven't found a rhyme or reason to it at all. Can anyone help me?
