Bluetooth configured but won't connect to Sony shelf stereo

I've configured my MBP with my Sony Micro Component Shelf System (stereo) w/ Bluetooth with no problem. But I can't figure out how to connect them to actually play music. Maybe this is really simple, but I'm new to Mac as of yesterday.
(I was able to connect my old PC to the Sony stereo using a Bluetooth USB dongle.)
Thanks in advance.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Mac OS X doesn't yet support A2DP which is required for streaming music over Bluetooth. This support is coming in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
There is a hack to enable it in 10.4 Tiger, but it's not perfect by any means:

Xperia Z3 compact won't connect to Sony car stereo with usb

Hi, To my dissapointment my Z3 won't connect to my Sony car stereo via USB at all, it seems it is uncompatable whereas my iPod does no problem.. Any help with this?

Most cars have an AUX connection which connects to the headphone jack and to AUX is also a headphone jack so a double ended 3.5mm audio jack which is for phones where as the USB connection is designed for dedicated mp3 style devices like your ipod

We use an Airport Extreme in my office, which works fine for me. Occasionally we need to have more than one computer running on it, but for some reason it won't connect to the internet. It says we have internet, but won't connect to wifi. What's going on?

I use my computer everyday in our office and have no issue connecting to the internet/wifi, but when my boss comes in and tries to connect it doesn't work. It tells her she has internet, but won't connect to the wifi. We've tried a few different tactics(the basic ones I've seen on here), but nothing seems to be working for us. My computer automatically connects to our wifi.
Just recently the Airport Extreme has started with the blinking amber colored light on the front, which I believe means something is wrong? Can anyone help us figure out what's going on and why we can't get my boss' computer to connect as it should?
Thank you!

Here's an update:
Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.

Glad to hear it is all straightened out. You are right about the upgrade cost. That is one reason why Adobe switched to monthly licensing—no more upgrade cost <g, r, & d>. Of course we do have nearly monthly product upgrades. It is almost like playing whack a mole.

I just recieved an iPad mini iOS 7 and currently use an Android 2.2 phone which I would like to share stuff by way of bluetooth. It says that they are paired, but won't connect. Are they not compatible? Or is there some app that makes it work?

I have been able to pair them, but they wont' connect. Is there a compatibility issue? Or is there some app that I can get to make it work?

iOS does not support file sharing over BT. To the best of my knowledge, there are no apps that will allow sharing from iOS to Android over BT but, I could be wrong.
You can use a service such as DropBox. Or just email things.
Best of luck.

I just installed FaceTime on my MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.7. It comes so I can see myself but won't accept my log in. Anybody else have this problem?
Thanks for the info, but as far as I can tell, neither PeerGuardian or LittleSnitch is on my computer, but I'm don't know how to check for sure...

Time Capsule is visible but won't connect - HELP!

We have a Time Capsule that has been happily backing up 2 iMacs and a Macbookpro for a couple of years.
Suddenly, my iMac won't back-up to it;
I can see it in file manager, but it won't connect - it tells me 'Connection Failed - This file server is running on your machine. Please access the volumes and files locally.'
Obviously this isn't correct - it is connected via Ethernet in another building.
I can access it via Airport Utility from my iMac and make all configuration changes, and yet it doesn't appear as an available back-up disk in the Time machine Preferences.
I have tried all the usual stuff of resetting IP addresses, wireless and ethernet connections, resetting TC to factory settings, updating and downdating firmware, erasing the disk contents, etc.
The other iMac still connects to it correctly.
I'm at a loss as to what I can do next - any suggestions???

Hello Ja5ck. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
o The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
o You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
o One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
(ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
If not already, try connecting the iMac directly to the Time Capsule (TC) using an Ethernet cable, and then, access it with the AirPort Utility.
If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation.

Mac see the 'Route66' bluetooth tracker, but did'nt connect via SPP ?

Hi
my bluetooth GPS mouse/Tracker type Route66 GPS Bluetooth with SIRF III chipset did'nt connect with the MacBook Pro SnowLeopard 10.6.8 (latest updated incl.). As i see at the OS X website there is the 'SPP' protocol which is also used by the mouse/tracker.
Within the bluetooth configuration the device is seen as 'BlueGPS 7D622A' but is not connected. Thats my problem. Further parameters are
Service/Dienste = Serial Port (SPP ?),
connection installed = Yes
configured = yes
favorite = yes
Connected = NO
device uppergrpoup = undefined (0x1f)
device lowergroup = undefined (0x0)
So, the Mac see the device, but did'nt connect with it.
Are there any ideas where i'm wrong ? and whats to do ?
Thanks in advance for any help
Michael

you can only connect two apple device via Bluetooth if you're using tethering.

You need to supply more specifics. The device(s) need to be identified.

IMac sees the ethernet but won't connect to the internet

we had a power outage that crashed the imac. now it won't connect to the internet. the imac can see the ethernet connection. we have several other apple and dell devices that all see the internet so it's not cabling or hardware. it's a cable modem connection that uses automatic DHCP configuration. I've created a new Location setting with no change. I'm assuming that there is a corrupted file since all the other systems connect fine. any idea which one it may be or what else I should be looking for?

Shot in the dark, but did you try an SMC reset?
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer’s power cord and disconnect peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Just got new ipad2 and can't connect to internet...recognizes wifi network but won't connect

just got a new ipad2...recognizes wifi network at home, but can't connect to internet...help???

I just had a similar problem. Both the ipad 1 and ipad 2 in my household quit connecting to the network even though it seemed to recognize it. if you think it is recognizing your network, just not connecting, check to see if bluetooth is turned on. i had to turn bluetooth off and then manually enter the DNS number.
My solution also came after I re-started my network and reset all the settings on the ipad2. The DNS number then showed along with IP submet Mask and router. I used that dns number to enter into ipad1 after turning bluetooth off on it.
Totally unscientific fix that may have been more coincidental than correct but you might try it. BTW--no idea how bluetooth even got turned on to begin with.

Time capsule produces a signal, but won't connect or backup

I have looked at some of the other discussions here; some are similar, but I can't find an answer.
I have a TC, Macbook Pro and an iPhone 4, all between 6-10 months old. My problems started when I turned on all my stuff after being away for 4 weeks over the summer.
My Macbook pro's AirPort recognises the TC - I have a 'full signal' reading at the top of the page. However, when I try and connect to the internet, I'm told it can't connect to the server. If I just keep trying, re-entering addresses (from the scroll-down bar, so always exactly the same), it eventually connects and I have a great connection, which I can use to watch movies/download stuff no problem. Why is it so **** illogical? Why does it connect on the 20th attempt, and not on the first? This happens however long the computer has been on, and regardless of when I last connected to the internet.
The biggest problem is that I have a Vodafone 'Sure Signal' signal booster attached to the TC. Without it, I get no phone signal. The Sure Signal does not recognise the signal from the TC at all. I have done factory resets on both - individually and together, and nothing has changed. I have turned the Sure Signal off, but the TC still doesn't work properly.
My iPhone won't connect either. It too shows a 'full signal', but when I try and connect it says connected/not connected alternately about every 1 second.
The TC is connected to the internet via a cable from my landlord's router, next door. They have perfect signal. They also have a signal booster in their house, which used to interfere with my TC (when it worked). I changed the channel on my TC, and now, when it connects, there is no interference.
Please can someone enlighten me - I have worked though every thing I can, and I can't go any further because I can't see any logic to the problem.
** Since these problems have started, the TC has not backed anything up - I can't get it to back up, whatever I've tried.
** Each time I have re-made my network, when I open Airport Utility, it says 'no wireless devices recognised', and I have to re-start the TC in order to be able to do anything to it.

Try changing the Firewall setting:
mDNSResponder - Allow incoming connections
Background:
My Time Capsule was working perfectly in Leopard.
When I upgraded to Slow Leopard, Airport Utility was no longer able to see the Time Capsule - although my Mac (MBP) was still able to connect to the wireless network and out onto the Internet.
The next day or so I upgraded to Lion (Snow Leopard was only installed to get App store) - the situation remained the same.
From another Mac (MB - still running Leopard) Airport Utility was still able to connect to Time Capsule.
I edited the firewall settings on my Lion MBP:
The mDNSResponder was set to "Block incoming connections".
I changed this to "Allow incoming connections".
Airport Utility was then was then able to see the Time Capsule (I can't recall now if I needed a reboot after changing this).
HTH.

Forgot password.Tried to wipe by using Find my iPhone but won't connect to wifi even though it is turned on in the lock screen.Then tried to restore through iTunes but couldn't because Find my iPad on. Removed the iPad but iTunes still not working. Help!

My daughter stopped using her iPad when she got an iPhone for Christmas. It has been over one month and she has forgotten her passcode. I tried to wipe it via Find my iPhone but it won't connect to the wifi even though wifi is switched on on the lock screen. I then tried to restore it through iTunes but was unable to becuase Find my iPhine was switched on so I removed the iPad from the device list only to find that it didn't solve anything with the iTunes situation and it still won't connect to the wifi. I ahve tried turning wifi on and off, tried leaving the house and re-entering all to no avail. Is there any other way to restore the iPad????

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost
