Blue tooth quits

Hi - I am using my iPad 2 with a Logitech blue tooth keyboard. For some reason the blue tooth setting keeps dropping the connection. I can go right back to settings and reconnect but it is a pain. Any ideas?

That's kind of what I thought too, but it occurs after a full-nights charge. Also occurs at home and work so I don't think it is an interference issue. This is a new issue - before the keyboard always stayed connected. Now it disconnects and defaults to the iPad keyboard after only a couple minutes.

Can't connect blue tooth keyboard

Hey all...I've had my new iMac now for quite awhile with 0 problems. I have the blue tooth keyboard and mouse....recently, I can't connect the keyboard. I bought new batteries and still a no go...I press the power button on the keyboard and the green light comes on once for about 10 seconds before shutting off...in this brief period of time the computer recognizes the blue tooth keyboard, but I can't keep the keyboard on long enough for it to connect. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
So the keyboard powers down after just a short few seconds? Then I would call Apple and arrange for them to swap it out. There is not a lot users can do to fix a faulty keyboard or mouse.

Why cant send imessage without hitting "send" using blue tooth keyboard?

its quite annoying when you type with a blue tooth keyboard sending imessage you have to hit the "send" button on the screen all the way across instead of hitting the "enter" key on the keyboard
is there any option we can choose from the system??

Sherry-
I do not think there is a way around it. But try pressing the Tab key several times until the Send button lights up. If that works, pressing Return on the keyboard should be equivalent to hitting the Send button on the screen.
If that does not work, try each of the function keys along the top of the keyboard, in case one of them has been pre-programmed to Send a message. You may have to hold down the fn key (bottom left).
You might look into using the "Assistive Touch" feature at Settings-General-Accessibility-Assistive Touch. I do not know what it does, but it mentions having difficulty touching the screen.

HELP 8500 not staying connected to auto blue tooth

I could really use some help. When I first pair my 8500 with the car Bluetooth everything works fine for the first call only. I can hear and speak through the car blue tooth and place a call with no problem. After that you hang up that call and try and call again. The car seems to work fine you can dial and place the call but all the call sound is routed through the phone speaker instead of the car. Frustrating..... I have Boost Mobile, I'm not sure if that is the issue.... I have tried other peoples cell phones and theirs seems to work fine. I hope that someone out there can tell me it is a setting in my Blackberry.... Any suggestions. I don't have any other Bluetooth devices hooked up to the phone.
Thanks!!

Not quite the right place - I'll let the Hosts know, and if they see fit to move it I'm sure they will.
On your machine try the following:
Open System Preferences --> Network
Show: Airport (select this option from the drop down next to 'show')
Select Airport tab on the far left.
By default, join: Preferred networks (again, select from adjacent drop down)
Ensure your network is in the list, and is at the top (drag and drop your network to the top to re-order).
If your network is not present, click the '+' sign below the box, and find your network and add it manually. If this is the only wireless network you want to use, select any others if present and click the '-' button below the box to remove them.
Good luck, let us know how you get on.

Can you use earphone jack and continue to use blue tooth connection to speakers like bose

Can you use earphone jack and continue to use blue tooth connection to speakers like bose

Hi,
I'm a owner of the X-fi Elite Pro, and for me the headphone + speakers settings works very well. Just to be sure, you bought the X-Fi XtremeGamer Falalty Pro Series? and not the XtremeGamer Fatalty Champ Series or even the old regular X-Fi Fatalty? If so, I'm quite sure you need the I/O box with the 6.35 mm (/4 inch) steroe jack. My headphones are connected through the /4 inch jack on the Elite Pro unit and my 5. surround system through the X-Fi card's 3x /8? mini jack.
I guess you have to buy the X-Fi I/O Dri've Upgrade Kit (or the Console Upgrade Kit) to use your headphones and speakes at he same time. I chose the Console because i couldn't li've with a thick and ugly digital cable sticking out in the front of my PC?
Hope it helped!

Is there a blue tooth that is compatible with iphone 5

I recently purchase the iphone 5 and even though my other phone may have been considered antiquated - it was blue tooth capitalbe, which I am use to
I am not very happy with the use of the ear plugs so my question is - is there a blue tooth device Apple product or not that is compatible with the iphone 5 without it being the huge Dr. dre beats. I am not a child, and do not what to walk around holding my phone or wearing ear plugs all day just to talk on the phone

http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC359B/A
Found this. And it even is from Apple! WOW!
I have it, bought it at walmart, and yes, it works just fine. Nice to have an extra 6 feet or so.
then again..yes, an extension cord or power strip will work quite well too.....and leave you an extra 20 dollars or so to play iwth.

I just purchased a used wireless Mighty Mouse. Do I need to have Blue Tooth installed on my machine to use it?

Hey
So I just purchased a used wireless Mighty Mouse at a Goodwill very inexpensively on the 50/50 chance it would work. Right out of the gate I figured I might need to have Blue Tooth installed on my machine to use it, is this the case?
I have a Mac Pro Tower running 10.6.7, but I didn't opt for the Blue Tooth a few years ago when I purchased it. I knew I should've!
Thanks.

Well I purchased the Mac Pro in 2009 I believe. It could've been late 2008, but I can't quite remember. When I ordered it from the Apple store online I customized it. I had the amount of Ram I wanted put into it, and had two hard drives installed. While doing all of my customizations I could've opted to have the Blue Tooth card installed into the computer but for some reason I didn't see myself using it. I did get the generic wired mouse that came with the computer.

After connecting my blue tooth it works for a few incoming and outgoing calls. Then for no reason when i make a call the other party cannot hear me and even if i try to click on the speaker phone or hand set they cannot hear me. rebooting required

Blue tooth operation and lock up. After i connect my bluetooth it works fine foe a few calls. Then if i place an outgoing call, I cannot hear the reciving party but they can hear me. Other times i can hear them but they cant hear me. After rebooting the phine it works again for a few calls. This is consistent with 2 diferent blue tooth devices?

Sorry about the delay, I have been away from my computer for a couple of days.
Since you are able to use Siri and dictate notes, that indicates the mic itself is working.
I would suggest fully quiting the Phone app and resetting the iPhone.
Double click the Home button (bottom center of the display with square icon on it) to get the fast switcher. Press and hold on one of the icons so they start "shivering" and the red "-" icons. locate the Phone icon and press the red "-" on it. Then press the Home button again to stop the "shivering".
Then Reset the iPhone, press and hold the Home and Sleep/power (top right edge of iPhone) buttons until you get the Apple logo. Wait for it to finish restarting and then test again.

What do I need to buy in order for my iPod Classic 160GB to connect with my blue tooth speaker

What do I need to buy in order for my IPod Classic 160 GB to connect with my blue tooth Ultimate Ears Boom speaker?

Upgrading RAM and your HD will give you some performance gains, but depending on what you are doing, it may not be enough. Your best friend will always be processor speed. This has a direct relation to how many cores and the speed of the RAM.
However, if you are unable to spring for a new computer, then the options of running more RAM and a biggger, faster HD should ruduce some bottle necks.
Here is a site where you can check out what your computer can handle http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade They have some charts comparing speed gains with various components.
Are you using the track freeze option to manage the track count and subsequent demands on your machine?

my ipad mini retina display is disabled because my blue tooth key board made number key entries while in my back pack. How do I re-enable?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Loss of Blue tooth function after upgrade to 10.6

I have a MacBook Pro... I also have a Motorola Droid that was working perfectly with blue tooth when I was using OS 10.5 etc... I was able to "Browse" my phone, Transfer files, it worked like a dream. After upgrading my OS to Snow Leopard... I am unable to transfer files or do any thing of any value using the blue tooth connection on my computer. When I attempt to "Browse" the phone I get the message "The Device does not have the necessary services" I have searched the forums for help with this issue... I'm seeing a lot of "your phone doesn't have that capability" or "your provider has disabled that to make you pay more" or worse yet... I've seen things like "blue tooth isn't made for file transfer it's only for headsets and headphones.
Admittedly most of the people posting these questions had never been able to browse or transfer files before and were just now trying to make this work. I on the other hand had been able to use all these services. Which is why I am not considering my phone as the source of the problem at this time.
Nothing has changed on my phone "no updates in software" and the only change that was made is going from Leopard to Snow Leopard. This is leading me to the conclusion that there is something I'm not seeing in 10.6.x that has caused an issue with my blue tooth functionality... I have gone in to system preferences, in to file sharing and enabled sharing in bluetooth... I have also tried to delete the Bluetooth plist file as was suggested in other discussion forums.
This has not changed any thing I still get the same error when trying to transfer files or browse. If any one else has any advice on something I could try to return my bluetooth function to Pre10.6 that would be most helpful... I'm aware of work arounds "Emailing my self,,, etc." I'd prefer to have my bluetooth back.
Sorry if this post sounds harsh or snippy... I'm getting very frustrated.

Is it smarter economically to repair replace the board, or use the computer as it is and purchase a replacement?
This depends on your usage. If you find performance with 1GB to be satisfactory (maybe not optimal, but satisfactory), just keep using it as is. A new logic board (which will likely be used or refurbished depending on the source) is $400-$800 plus installation. I don't know what company's charge to repair the logic board.
If you decide to go with a new system, you can sell your current system to offset the cost. Or just keep it as backup/extra/computer, or give it to a family member who can use it. If I were going to give it to a family member, I'd reinstall Tiger, as it probably will work a little better in 1GB than Leopard.

Can I use more than one blue-tooth device at the same time on IPhone 4S? Like a wireless headsets and speed and cadence sensor for cycling computer, receive the data and listen music simultaneously

Can I use more than one blue-tooth device at the same time on IPhone 4S? Like a wireless headsets and speed and cadence sensor for cycling computer, receive the data and listen music simultaneously

As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.
