Bluetooth A2DP streaming from Android Phone to Macbook

Hello,
Just got a MBP a while back and this is my first apple computer - doing good so far.
In Windows, I was able to bluetooth connect to my Android phone and my Android phone could stream the music it was playing over to my Windows computer speakers. This was useful because not only could I play files on my Android phone over the speakers, but I could also stream youtube audio and other audio not present locally on my Android, and I could control it all from my phone.
I am having some trouble finding a similar functionality on my MBP.
Is it possible to do something like this with Android?
Thank you

Bump.
Still interested in getting this functionality.
Any tips?

  • Bluetooth no longer works android phone to MacBook Pro

    I have been transferring files to/from my Huawei H811C (android v. 4.0.4.) and my MacBook Pro via bluetooth without any problems....until today.
    I recently updated the MacBook Pro to OS X 10.9.2, but I'm pretty sure I have transferred files since then, so I don't think it's that.
    The devices recognize each other, the phone tries to send, but the Mac never gives me that popup menu asking if I want to accept files.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks!!
    P.S.  I was able to transfer FROM the Mac to the phone, but not the other way around.

    Import the photos on the android to the photo app on your computer, then sync them to your iPhone using iTunes.

    If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

  • Can I transfer photos via bluetooth from samsung phone to macbook air?

     

    Probably not. Apple views BlueTooth as a conduit for connecting peripherals such as keyboards and mice, not for mass transfering data. See this article for ways to transfer pictures from an Android phone to the Mac.

  • If I open new sync accounts so that I can synce bookmarks from android phone to new desktop, will I lose my bookmarks in android and thus lose them all forever?

    My old desktop crashed. My new desktop has the most recent version of Firefox and the new sync feature. Unfortunately, none of my bookmarks from the old desktop/Firefox transferred to the new desktop. My android phone (GS3) and android tablet both still have all of my bookmarks, but I cannot get them to sync to the desktop. I have read (and reread) the instructions for opening new sync accounts for all devices, etc. so that they are all compatible and sync will work again. I am afraid that if I do that, I will lose all my bookmarks from my android devices, and then they will be lost forever, which defeats the whole purpose of setting up new sync accounts. Can you confirm that if I open new accounts on all devices that I will not lose my bookmarks from my phone and tablet, which now have the only record that I can access to recreate them all manually (god help me)on my desktop if that is my only alternative?

    Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve my problem. I have given up and just re-entered my bookmarks manually to my desktop computer.

  • Mail sent from android phone is not appearing in Apple Mail

    Hi all.
    I have an android phone and it sends and retrieves mail from my .mac address (yup still got it) just fine.
    The problem is that sent mail in Apple Mail (osx 10.7.5) on my MacPro indicates that there was a response with its little arrow, but clicking on that arrow says that the message can't be found and may have been deleted.
    Also, if I send an email via Apple Mail, it doesn't appear in the sent box on my phone.
    In a browser viewing my iCould mail, the appearance is the same as Apple Mail. The only box that's syncing is the inbox.
    Why is this, how do I fix it?
    Many thanks.

    You need to remap the folders on your phone to match the mapping used in Mail on your Mac.

  • I can't get texts from android phones on my new 5c

    We just switched from Sprint to Verizon.  My daughter can send texts to android phones but can't receive them.

        Hi Mswan66,
    Welcome to the Verizon Wireless family! We are so elated to have you join in. It's important to have your text messages working properly. Did she port in her number? If so, is the old phone powered off? Have you tried powering the phone off the back on? Which iPhone does she have?
    Thanks,

  • Cannot manage newly swapped STB from Android phone

    Hi,
    Our single STB died the other day, and we just successfully installed the replacement.  We can also see and manage (set up programs to record) on the replacement STB from the Verizon web site, so I know it's reachable from the Web.
    However, we cannot get the replacement STB to come up on the My FIOS app on my Android phone.  The previous STB is still listed, but of course it's long gone.  We tried uninstalling and reinstalling the My FIOS app without success.
    So, the question is, how do I get rid of the old STB in the app in order to successfully access the new one?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hello,
    I'm going by what I have on an iPhone (should be a similar app and features)...
    have you tried:
    1) (since you've done the reinstalling of the 'My FiOS App' already to no avail), try deleting and reinstalling the FiOS Remote App... this is because when you go to the 'Manage My DVR' section of the 'My FiOS' app, it brings you to the FiOS Remote.
    2) when you click on 'Manage My DVR', on the top right do you see the DVR location/name?  Does it list two DVRs or just one?  If two, can you uncheck the DVR that is no longer in use?
    3) From your FiOS TV Remote, go to Menu -- Settings -- FiOS TV Remote DVR -- Mobile Phone Access 
    If all else fails, try contacting Verizon's Technical Support via live chat or by calling 1-888-553-1555.
    Hope this helps!
