Blue tooth for music and video.... yes, it can be done, and phone too
Well they say it can't be done... what? Bluetooth connection from the Iphone
that outputs the Ipod music...
Well when there's a will, there's a way... here's all you need.
1 set of Plantronics 590A bluetooth headset... make sure you get the " A " version of the headset because that version comes with its own bluetooth transmitter.
Also you will need to have an adaptor for the Iphone headphone jack... this would be the Belkin Headpone Adapter.
And of course the Iphone itself.
After getting all of the components together, Turn the Iphone on and goto settings, General, Bluetooth, ON... the Iphone is now discoverable.
Now take the headset and with the power button to the off position, press and hold down the call button ( right side of headset with picture of a phone)
and at the same time turn the power button to ON..
The headset will start to flash and after about 30 seconds the Iphone will show
" headset ", tap it on the Iphone and it will ask for the pass code... put in
4 Zeros... " 0000 "
The Iphone will now show that it is paired with Plantronics 590 headset.
Now go ahead and put the phones on your head, extend the microphone and make a test call...
See it works great.. and the volume buttons on the side of the Iphone control the headset volume, and the headset controls work also... you can tap on the call button on the headset to make a call or cancel the call or mute...
OK, we got the headset to work with the phone so far...
But at this moment your also saying, cool, the phone works but I still don't get any music coming out of the Iphone to these cool stereo headsets...
So lets fix that issue right now...
Take the Headphone adapter and take the small bluetooth transmitter that came with the Headset and plug the transmitter into the adapter and plug the adapter
into the headphone jack of the Iphone...
Turn the bluetooth transmitter to the ON position... now on the Iphone go to the ipod icon, click it and choose a song to play...
Wow, the bluetooth head set is now playing your song in full stereo...
Now have someone call your Iphone... Hey the music stopped playing and you took the call. Now hang up the phone, hey the music has started to play again...
anyway, you get the picture... oh, it also now plays your movies, internet, youtube... ect..ect.. all on your new set of Bluetooth headset, and the headset works fine as a phone headset too, complete with microphone and callback,mute....
enjoy
Cool. Thanks. I'm not so much a phone person so I don't find it inconvenient to just stick the iPhone up to my face to make the sort of brief calls I make or take. But I've always wanted a way to throw my iPod now iPhone safely into a courier bag and listen to music without having to snake the headphone cord out through a flap or zipper, and then have it snag on everything, pulling the earbuds out of my ears. Receiving calls without having to dig out the phone is just an excellent extra perk.
Thanks again. I'll go look up pricing on this model right now. I assume the BT transmitter for the headphones runs on batteries?

I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two? I just want to add a feature. Thanks
Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

Hi... I am looking for an inexpensive app for my macbook pro that I can put pictures and videos together into a slideshow with captions and music WITHOUT a watermark and that also will burn the slideshow to a DVD in its own app. Help?
The issue with the A1400 is that like most economy compact cameras, they will not have very fast focus times in indoor lighting situations. Many people have gone to entry level DSLR's (Canon T3i) or micro 4/3 cameras. They are fairly expensive, but a late model refurbished T3i can sometimes be found with a kit lens for about $300.00. With Auto and scene modes, as well as full manual modes, these are very versatile cameras that focus very quickly, even in lower lighting situations. Canon is not really into the micro 4/3 cameras, instead they are focusing on the new G7x and G1x cameras, which are way out of your price range. The A720 is still available used at some places such as KEH camera, but you'll need to check often as their stock changes constantly. Obviously the DSLR's don't use AA batteries, but the T3i is good for about 600 photos (or more) per charge.
My refurbished DSLR was practically brand new condition when I got it. I could not find any sign of wear at all, so I feel they are a real bargain. These are rugged cameras that are made to last. The A1400 is a $99.00 camera, so it's not intended for heavy usage, plus the image quality of a DSLR (even entry level) is far better than the A1400. That would be my recommendation.

All the doc. I read is centered on Blue Tooth for computer to computer comm's. Can I use my Blue tooth head set (e.g. Motorola H500) for VOIP over, e.g.: Skype or Sametime Connect?
Raschoen,
If you can pair your bluetooth headset to your computer, then you can use it for Skype or other VoIP software. Just go to the options in the application (in Skype go to Tools, Options, Audio Settings) and select your bluetooth headset as Microfone/Input and Speakers/Output, from the list of available devices.
I have used both a Sennheiser and a Jabra bluetooth headsets and they worked great.
Have fun! -

I need instructions for installing blue tooth for apple iphone 4s?
We have Jabra bluetooth. We got out the instructions that came with the Jabra and and followed them. Worked like a charm. Just remember that once the bluetooth is paired, you cannot go more than 30 feet from your phone while using it.

I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -

Hello there MizzouTrojan,
If I understand correctly you want all 6 devices to have access to a single calendar that each device gets notifications for and can edit. You can do that with an private iCloud shared calendar. First sign into www.icloud.com and use these steps from the following article to share a calendar:
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
Share a calendar privately
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
Note: You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.”
Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only).
For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Attach it to your computer, open iTunes, and deselect syncing contacts and calendars. Syncing your iPod again with the mac will delete the unneeded content from the iPod.

I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!
Working on that now. I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage. Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.
