Allow bluetooth auto connections?
Since upgrading to an iPhone 4 (4.2.1) the hands free system in my 2006 Land Rover LR3 cannot automatically connect to the phone. I can pair the two and then place and receive calls as expected, but after I leave the car, I have to manually connect the phone to the car system again (selecting the car's hands free in the bluetooth device list.) I've also noticed that if I bring up the bluetooth device list on the phone, where it's discoverable, before I unlock the car I'll get prompted for the bluetooth PIN. It seems like the iPhone is not allowing itself to be found or remembering the PIN for the hands free. I've tried everything between "forget this device" in the bluetooth menu to a full restore of the phone. The auto connection used to work fine with my iPhone 3 with 3.whatever software version. I've also contacted the car manufacturer and they've said it's been tested and compatible with iPhone 4. Any ideas where to go next?
Anyone out there have an idea on what I can do to solve this problem?

How to disable Bluetooth Auto-Connect
Hello Everybody
I have a JBL Micro-Wireless Bluetooth enabled speaker.
My Laptop model is Lenovo Thinkpad X220 running Windows 7.
My laptop has Broadcom Bluetooth stack.
Now, the problem is, whenever i turn on the speaker, my laptop connects to it immediately.
But, It just shows as connected with JBL Micro-Wireless in Bluetooth Device Control
The Bluetooth Hands free audio in Available Playback Devices be kept disconnected and i won't be able to connect to it.
I won't be able to also disconnect the Bluetooth speaker in Bluetooth Device Control.
I found that, Either if i disable the Thinkpad Bluetooth 3.0 device in device manager and enable it back or Uptick and Tick Audo Sink service in JBL Micro-Wireless properties dialog box in Sound, i can connect to the speaker manually and it starts working
just fine and i can disconnect the speaker also any number times.
You can blame the Broadcom Bluetooth Drive Stack for this issue, but i have tried using the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack too.
You can now blame my JBL Micro-Wireless speakers for this issue, but, i don't have any problems with any other audio source.
So, you have to give solution to disable Auto-Connect for my Bluetooth Speaker from my Laptop.
My Bluetooth speaker don't have any interface to disable auto-connect.
I have tried stopping both the Bluetooth Services in Windows Services to disable Auto-Connection, but it didn't help.Hi,
Untill now, there is no effective method in Windows to disable Bluetooth device connect automaticlly. Here is another workaround method maybe helpful.
That's using net stop/start service command to disable Bluetooth service.
Firstly, you can access Services by typing services.msc
command in RUN. Then choose Bluetooth service and change its startup type to
Manual.
Next time when you need using Bluetooth, just run net start bthserv in Command Prompt with administrator.
The bluetooth should be work normally.
When you didn't want to use it, just run net stop bthserv command to stop it.

Not allowing bluetooth connection to car hands free
Hi
I have a blackberry curve 8520 and a Bury hands free kit.
Normally as soon as the car is switched on the Bury comes on and starts searching for the blackberry and finds it immediately over the bluetooth and connects without any trouble.
Recently it no longer does this. Now I have to stop the Bury auto searching, turn off the blackberry bluetooth and then turn it back on for the bluetooth to connect.
If I allow for the Bury to keep searching you can see in the wireless networks screen that if briefly connects for a second and then disconnects and continues to do this.
I have restored the Bury to factory reset and it is not the Bury device because my Blackberry Pearl connects fine without any problem, it is my other phone that won't connect.
I have deleted it out of devices, played around with encryption settings and tried every setting I can see.
What is going on? why is my curve not allowing a connection to be made? I don't understand what can have happened for it to suddenly not work.
Any help would be great.
Thanksas I believe it a car bluetooth hands free can only be paired to one device . ie if you wish to pair with another device you would have to reset back to default and search again.... so does the cuve work if you reset the bury and pair again but then your other phone does not work with it ... this is logical as if we drove down a motorway we would pick up loadsa phones.... therefor we can only pair to one device

Bluetooth Speaker auto-connect
So I'm running 10.10.2 on a mid 2012 model macbook pro. I often like to use my bluetooth speakers as an output device (it is also a radio, alarm, cd player, etc in one) so it remains in a "sleep mode" however in this state it means my macbook auto connects to the speakers, while its not a major issue it can be annoying because some games refuse to output sound if the output device changes while it is open (namely Rouge legacy off steam) which means it connecting while I have my headphones on is a bit of an inconvenience.
There is a simple solution of turning off my bluetooth but as I don't use the macbook screen, keyboard or mouse at my desk, instead using a better monitor, etc. And a bluetooth mouse. I'm not afraid to poke around in terminal to stop it defaulting, I only want to connect when I specially specify it.
thanks.Hi,

My I4 will not allow me to connect a bluetooth. It keeps giving a message the pair list is full. There are no list available to delete. How do I correct the issue?
Check this article: iOS: Third-party Bluetooth headsets, headphones, and keyboards
Unpairing a Bluetooth accessory from an iOS device
If you've paired your iOS device with a Bluetooth accessory and no longer wish to use that accessory, you may unpair it. If you wish to leave the device paired, but route calls through a second, paired device, turn off the first device and then turn on the second device. Then in Settings > General > Bluetooth, tap on the device you wish to use.
From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Bluetooth. If Bluetooth isn't on, turn it on.
Choose a device and tap Unpair.
Until you pair the Bluetooth accessory again, your iOS device won't route information through it.
* Find information on which iOS versions and devices support which Bluetooth profiles. Not all Bluetooth stereo headphones include a mic. Only those with a mic and that support handsfree profile (HFP 1.5) can be used to make and receive calls. -
Bluetooth AV auto connection interval - less than 1 min?
Dear all.
Thank you for reading my post.
Finally, bluetooth stack 7.0 supports AV auto connection interval option.
The shortest time is 1 min. but I would like to set as 10 sec or 20 sec.
Is there any way ?
Thank you for reading.Hi
Im not quite sure if this is possible
If there are no such settings then I would assume that the shortest time can be set only to 1 min.
Cheers -
Is there an Auto connect bluetooth headset option?
Is there an Auto connect bluetooth headset option? I hate having to always choose to send a phone call to my hands-free device. What's the point of a Bluetooth headset if I have to use the phone every time to connect to it?
Keep it on or re-pair the devices and toggle the Auto-connect setting.

Password to not allow auto connect
I think I have a unique issue here. I know how to put a password on the router but my issue is that I don't want people to auto connect to the router even if I provide them the password. Basically I want the following few functions (not sure if they are even possible)
1) Every time the user logs on I want them to have to enter the password
2) I want them to get automatically kicked off the router once a day (at night)
3) I don't want them to automatically connect to the router.
Basically I live in a dorm and everyone has there own connection. With wireless however they will log onto the router and use my connection all of the time (since vista automatically will reconnect, even if they plug directly in) slowing down my already slow connection. If however they do want to use wireless in the living room I want them to be able to, but when they go back into there room I want them to plug into the wall and no longer be one my wireless.
Does that make sense? Let me know if anyone has ideas.
~Corey1. What's the difference whether they have to enter the passphrase again or not? If they want to go wireless, they go wireless regardless whether it's auto connecting or manually entering the passphrase. I very much doubt the few seconds to enter the passphrase will keep them from going wireless wherever they want.
2. What you want to do is close to impossible. If at all, you need good hardware and server and a lot of knowledge.
3. Thus, the only real solution is very simple: it's your router and only you can connect. Don't give out the passphrase. That's it. If someone else wants wireless they are supposed to get their own wireless routers. That's easy. That's simple. That's as cheap as it can be. -
No auto-connect on start-up or restart (iMac)
Just an update on my problem. I too had problems with auto-connect to my network router after sleep, due to download of update 10.7.3. Worked with Apple Tech Support and local Apple Store to resolve problem - Tech Support representative and FAQ contributors alerted me to the availability of latest WIFI Update, which I downloaded and installed. Update DID resolve auto-connect problem for my system's "awake-from-sleep" mode, BUT it then began a SPORADIC no-connect problem upon startup and restart. I've reported this problem to the Tech Support representative, and she said she would alert the appropriate system teams of this problem.
I'm no software expert, but I believe the problem may be tied, in some way, to that part of the OS that triggers not only network card drivers, but also Bluetooth connectivity, clock activation, and any other sub-system icon displayed in the upper-right corner of the desktop. While I can manually connect to the network, and have the connection work without dropping, it will NOT connect automatically - sometimes - upon startup and restart. It WILL work automatically upon awaking from sleep. It tries to find the network signal during startup/restart, but doesn't always connect.
I'm thinking that if it was the drivers, themselves, for the network card that were, in some way, corrupt or incorrect, the system wouldn't connect at all ... (???)
Anyway, it's working a little better - but it's still not fully-operable; and I'm still looking for a permanent fix from Apple. I have a feeling that one of the reasons why Apple is bringing-out Mountain Lion so soon after Lion's advent is to possibly resolve some of the problems and "quirks" folks are having with Lion. I know I've experienced other little problems since upgrading to Lion that I'm simply living with, knowing that sooner or later, a fix will be forthcoming - either by patch, update, or a new OS ...
- ChrisSome additional input - Just received a call from "John", Apple Tech Support, asking me to do two things in an attempt to resolve my connectivity issues.
(1) Upon start-up, wait a minute or two to see if the network finally locks-in automatically, vice manually selecting the network connection. There may be some "priorities" being addressed via the OS wrt/ Bluetooth connections for the keyboard and mouse, that may prevent a faster lock-on by the network components. He says this sometimes manifests itself upon start-up and occasionally on restarts for some systems. It may be that, for some system configurations, Bluetooth components experience some minor interference from telephone systems or routers placed adjacent to these component locations - and since these components have "priority", system-wise, it may further delay network connectivity as well.
(2) Drag-out an old USB keyboard (and mouse), disable your Bluetooth access, and use them in place of the wireless keyboard and mouse to see if it results in a more-positive result for network connectivity upon start-up and restart.
Naturally, I'll give it a try, and see how it works. Told John I'd let him and Josie (another Apple Tech Support representative) know how it's working in a couple of weeks.
Really appreciated his call - very nice of him to follow-up. I'll let you-all know how it works ... -
Airplay Auto-connect to Apple TV?
Is it possible to have my Mac (running Mavericks) to auto-connect to my Apple TV?
I use my Apple TV to extend my iMac display. However in the morning, I have to turn on my TV, turn on the Apple TV, log into my Mac and then manually connect to the Airplay display. Is there some way to simplify this process and tell it to default to a particular ATV connection when I log in?I just upgraded my 2014 Retina MacBook Pro to Yosemite, and was hoping now that Yosemite support PeerToPeer streaming to my ATV, that it might also allow me to auto connect. Well it didn't happen automatically. Does anybody know if there's a setting somewhere to enable this, or if this is even realistic possibility based on how AirPlay works?

Airport won't auto connect to my router, connects to the neighbors regularl
Hey,
Every time I close my computer it logs off of the internet, which bugs me. Additionally when I open the computer back up instead of auto connecting to my internet, it connects to the neighbors internet titled Lynksis.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve these problems? thanks!
KristianKristian,
Rob has it mostly right, but you might not see just what he indicated. Once you see the "Airport" pane, you will see a pull-down menu in the body of the window (the "By default, join:" menu). This pull-down will read either "Automatic" or "Preferred networks." Only if it shows "Preferred networks" will you see the actual list of networks you have allowed your Mac to join. By changing the menu to read "Preferred," you can see and edit the list.
My recommendation is to get to the list, make your changes (which should amount to removing the "Linksys" network, plus any other generically-named networks you find), then change the pull-down to "Automatic." Using the options in this manner will do the most to reduce the chances of you having to adjust things manually on a regular basis.

Mavericks isn't allowing me to connect to my school's internet.
On Mountain Lion when I connected to the network occasionally it would have a connection error, and I'd turn my wifi off and when I turned it back on it would auto connect and would work fine.
Now this doesn't work on Mavericks, and a screen pops up asking to run diagnostics on the connection, though this diagnostics test does nothing. Now very rarely can I connect to the internet and it seems to be pure luck when it does.
I am a boarding student at the school so school internet is really vital.
Does anybody have a solution to this?I am also having a similar problem.
In the past, whenever I turned on my macbook pro a1286's wireless, a small window would appear on my screen allowing me to enter my school id and password and access the internet. This window wasn't in any browser, it appeared whether or not i had any browser open.
Now, on mavericks, it works the first time i get to school and turn on my computer, but if my computer goes to sleep or i move to a different area of the campus, the login window does not appear again. I'm still connected to the network, so in this case, what i have to do is open firefox, enter any url, confirm the security exception and then i'll be redirected to the school's wireless login page.
Not only is this 3 extra steps, it often doesn't work and i'm stuck there turning my wifi on and off and waiting for windows to appear. It's very time consuming.
I already went to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies
nothing was checked.
and i went to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
my firewall was already switched off.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

VPN auto connect leads problem when accessing the private url in my app through HttpClient
Hi,
I have app to execute my WCF service through HttpClient(). I configured my SSL VPN in sonicwall mobile connect with auto connect option. So when accessing my internal WCF service, Wp 8.1 asks the VPN connection screen. If I follow the screen, VPN
has connected and return to my App. But here I received "An error has ocurred. While sending request to server" in Wp 8.1 screen. Even if I debug through visual studio I couldn't catch or track the actual error in code. Below the code I am using
for your reference. Kindly help me in this regard.
try
HttpClientHandler handler = new HttpClientHandler(); ;
handler.AllowAutoRedirect = false;
HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient(handler);
httpClient.MaxResponseContentBufferSize = 256000;
HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.GetAsync("http://172.0.0.11/xxxxx/Service1.svc/xxxxCheck/" + usr.username + "/" + App.DeviceId + "/" + usr.password);
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
string content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
List<EmcUserResult> userres = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<EmcUserResult>>(content);
if (userres.FirstOrDefault().Allowed == "TRUE")
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/MainPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative)); // call MainPage
else
MessageBox.Show("This User was blocked. Contact admin.");
catch (Exception ex)
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);I recommend that you check the network traffic by using either Wireshark or Fiddler to see what's going on with the request.

'Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer' always dimmed
I'm trying to use an external display with my 1.33ghz 12" G4 PB and use a BT mouse/keyboard.
I've been through this technote http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300562 on "How to use your PowerBook G4 or MacBook Pro with the display closed and a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse" and this http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86524 "What to do if "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" option is not available"
I've updated my BT software, updated firmware but still 'Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer' remains greyed out! Meaning everytime I close the lid on my PB when an external display is connected my computer goes to sleep.
Please, anyone able to help?You have not applied the Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater. To use this option several steps are required in the following order:
Download the Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater
Install it
Launch it from Applications > Utilities > Bluetooth Updater
Apply it to your adapter (takes very long).
In most cases step 3 is missed. You have to start the already installed updater yourself (do not ask me why).
Additionally you might have broken your Apple Bluetooth Software. Apply the Mac OS X v10.4.5 combined updater which contains the latest version.
