Bluetooth Connection Problems With MacBook Air

I recently purchased a bluetooth speaker with plans to use it for both my computer and my iPod Touch 5. I had no problems connecting the speaker to my iPod, but for some reason my MacBook Air will not pick up the signal from the speaker.
Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Thank you Linc,
I have tried disconnecting my iPod from it, but am still having trouble connecting my MacBook to the speaker.
Do you have anymore suggestions?

Problem with MacBook Air connecting to Epson Stylus sx600fw wirelessly

Hi
I have been trying to set up my new Macbook Air with Epson Stylus sx600fw. Previously this printer was being used via USB with a PC. I have set up the printer on macbook via USB, but under the advice of online resources, erased that and began trying to set it up for wifi use. The printer cannot be found in the Print & Scan section of settings, and when i enter it in manually with IP address, it can find the software to install but gets stuck and says "Unable to verify the printer on your network". After further research i have tried to Ping the printer, which does not work. One thing that i notice is that the Subnet Mask is different than the apple default...for the printer it is 255.255.0.0, where for apple it is 255.255.255.0 but i dont know how to change this
Any advice for where it might be getting stuck or what I can do?
thanks!!!

Sony ericsson W810i connection problem with macbook

I have a Sony Ericsson W810i, and I want to transfer some photo's from the phone to my macbook. I can get the bluetooth to link with the phone for tranfer, but I'm having problems when I try to use the USB cable. When I connect the USB cable, the phone recognizes the connection, and warns not to disconnect from the cable untill...etc. however, I never get an Icon on the computer recognizing the phone. in short, The mac never sees the phone. any ideas???

I don't believe Macs are cell phone compatible without some 3rd party hack or application. You might do a Google search for your phone model and Mac.
Do you Twango?

HP Deskjet 3050A wireless printing problem with Macbook Air

Hello, I have a HP Deskjet 3050A printer that I have been using with my MacBook Air (2012 OS X 10.8.3) until a few weeks ago when it seemed to hang when trying to print and then say no printer found (even though it showed and was selected in the Printer options). So after a few weeks of this I decided to to remedy this issue once and for all by deleting the printer and 'refinding' it.
However, upon 'refinding' printer by adding it through System Preferences no printer is found - I have updated all Macbook air software.
All this time I have been able to continue printing wirelessly using my iPhone 4S and have changed no settings to the iPhone or 3050A which leads me to believe the proble the problem may lie with the Macbook Air?
Can you help resolving this please? Thanks

What router are you using? Have you restarted it by pulling its power plug momentarily?
If that does not work, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
Finally, reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

Interne connection problem with Macbook

I have a new 13 inch white macbook . It keeps on disconnecting with the internet . My PC laptops dont have this problem . I am using AT&T Gateway wireless modem . The macbook would show no connection and then after the diagnostics are run and the browser is closed and re-opened it connects with the internet, it is annoying . I am using safari and firefox both . The problem is more with online banks and online apparel stores not with yahoo or google.Seems the browsers are not compatible with these websites.
Please help.
Thanks

Yes, there are a few sites that are not 100% compatible with Safari OR Firefox, and work ONLY with Internet Explorer. Do the help files or instructions for your troublesome bank or merchant website(s) specify what browser(s) version(s) and operating systems they support?
Airport (wireless internet connection) problems to your network and/or wireless router are different, and 99.9% of the time, not related to browser compatibility issues.
Unpredictably connecting or disconnecting from a wireless router is a wireless networking problem, not a browser compatibility issue.
*Wireless troubleshooting:*
Can you also connect to your Mac directly to your AT&T wireless router with an Ethernet cable?
That will help you diagnose what are connectivity/network issues, versus what are browser compatibility issues. If your browser(s) work fine with the troublesome sites when directly connected by wire, then you're NOT having browser compatibility issues. Macs are picky about wireless connections. My original inexpensive 'b/g' wireless router worked fine with my older Windows XP computer and Nintendo Wii, but my MacBook kept dropping the signal every 10 minutes or so. I upgraded to a famous brand 'n' wireless router, and my problems disappeared.
*Browser Compatibility Troubleshooting*
Indications of browser incompatibility are:
Fonts that don't display correctly, such as overlapping or missing letters or words.
Wrong colors or colors that obscure some parts of the screen.
Text that displays line by line at the left margin, over colored backgrounds, instead of as a web page.
Screen display design elements are wrong, such as a color box that seems too large or small for the text displayed on it.
Some or all of the 'button' elements of the website do not respond to pointing the cursor and clicking, even after refreshing the screen, and the only solution is to closing the browser.
Look carefully at the Status Bar at the bottom of the browser so see if it displays an Errors count. (Then choose Window, Activity, to see what errors are occurring.)
If you MUST have 100% Internet Explorer compatibility on your Mac, you can always purchase Windows and IE and install it under Bootcamp, Parallels, VMWare Fusion or similar programs.
Let me know what you discover.

Magic Mouse Bluetooth connection problems with Mac OS X Lion

I've a problem with my Magic Mouse on bluetooth since I've updated my Mac to Lion, it's disconnecting too often. How to fix it ?

It might be a physical battery connection problem. The solution was already described by this article:http://macs.about.com/od/tipstricks/qt/Fix-Magic-Mouse-Disconnects.htm
Placing a trimmed piece on paper that was cut from a business card between the batteries and the battery-enclosure lid helps hold the batteries down firmly. This eliminates the tiny freeplay that allows a physical battery terminal disconnect when the mouse is jolted.

Bluetooth Connection Problems with Acura MDX

My DroidX has been connecting for almost 2 months now just fine to my MDX. Today it won't connect at all. It sees it but it just won't connect. I tried rebooting the DroidX. That didn't help. I have no idea what changed. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi,
This has happened with all my android phones (Eris,Ally, DroidX) with my JagXF. Sometimes rebooting the phone helps, other times I have to delete the phone from my car and re-pair the devices. I really think Android has a problem with bluetooth though as it didn't happen with my Samsung Omnia and since it happened with 3 different droid phones, what u think? Hope this helps!!

Bluetooth connection problems with TomTom Go910

Although my TomTom Go910 finds my 5800 it keeps saying that there is no answer from phone 'look at your phone'. Anyone got any ideas what's wrong as my previous Nokia had no such problems?

I have the same problem with both our TomTom 500 and 530. Really annoying as our olf Nokia 6300 worked with both including SMS. The 5800 often has to be 're-booted' to connect and then most of the time does not work.

Bluetooth connection problem with nokia 6230i

Hi I am having troubles establishing a Bluetooth connection between my Nokia 6230i and my Dell Latitude laptop running on Windows XP SP2 when trying to use Nokia PC Suite. When using the nokia suite connection wizard it establishes a connection for a fraction of a second and then disconnects.
The following information may be useful??
Windows XP Pro SP2
Nokia PC Suite 6.5.12
Microsoft BT Stack 5.1.2600.2180
WIDCOMM BT Stack 3.0.1 build 803
Can any one help please??
Thanks

You could try uninstalling the Widcomm Bluetooth and relying only on Microsoft + PC Suite 6.6.18 from http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite

Bluetooth connection problems with Jabra

Eversince I bought the Jabra Revo wireless headphones I had problems connecting them to my Macbook 15 Retina. When I get it connected it doesn't play the sound. When I disconnect it I get this message
https://www.dropbox.com/s/e6kj8bdticdq7p1/Screenshot%202014-05-05%2013.34.49.png
The same happens with my Jabra solemate speaker. Most of the times it doesn't work but sometimes it connects and plays perfectly
I updated the Jabra firmware on both devices. They work flawlwssly with my Iphone 5s and with the Ipad Air.
Is there any way to update/repair the bluetooth drivers on my mac? I'm on OSX Mountain Lion.
Thank you!!

There are no "bluetooth drivers."
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC - might help, cannot hurt.
I would also contact the third-party device manufacturer (since the problem seems to be related to their devices).

Bluetooth Connectivity Problem with IOS 8

When I pair my iPad Air with a Bluetooth device, the sound on that device comes through at a low volume and you cannot increase the sound volume. I never had this problem before I downloaded to IOS 8. I called Apple Support last night and spoke with a supervisor but the problem could not be resolved.

I have a similar fault with my Lexus ct200h fsport, updated to ios 8.1.1 on my iphone4s 64, and the bluetooth sometimes disconnects during calls then re-connects again (by this time the person on the end has hung up) .but bluetooth audio works fine. very frustrating!!

Bluetooth connection problems with Dell Axim x51v

I have a Dell Axim x51v and it has Windows Mobile v5.0 on it. I am trying to connect the Axim to my MacBook via Bluetooth, but am experiencing the problem where the devices get paired, but are not connected. Infact, when I add the device, they get connected for about 10 seconds, then they disconnect and remain this way. I do have my MacBook firewall turned off and I enabled Bluetooth sharing. Can anyone help with this?

Does anyone know how to sync a Dell Axim that's running Windows Mobile v5.0 to a MacBook that's running Leopeard? I tried doing this with Bluetooth and USB via an application called "The Missing Sync" from MarkSpace and neither of them seem to work. Please help with this if anyone knows how to do it.
