Bluetooth device as input audio source

hello,
I have a nokia cell phone with fm radio and bluetooth paired with my imac. but I am unable to select the bluetooth mechansim as an audio input to quicktime.
from the material on web, I saw that bluetooth has a serial port setup (rs-232) for data transfer but settings->sound does not show that as an input source and i setup aggregator, but that also does not show the bluetooth device as input source.
pl let me know how to fix this. also, is there any way the imac can receive fm radio signals?
thanks
-kamal

That sure seems like doing it the hard way?
Why not just Google your favorite fm radio station and listen to that?

Can't connect to bluetooth device and wifi really por

Hi,
I bought recently a Pavilion 15-p036tx and I can't connect to my bluetooth device as logitech audio adapter, toshiba bluetooth mose and phone HTC.
I noticed as well that the wifi connection is realy por only 1strip.
I have a old HP Pvilion I bought in 2007 which is connecting to my bluetooth devices and the wifi is at full bandwith perfectly.
It's realy seams to be a driver issue. On the HP support donwload page the is too many drives. Which one should I use?

Music On Hold Audio Source File Restrictions

What is the length and codec restriction for Music on Hold audio source file?
thanks,
Punam

Hi Punam,
I don't believe there are any size restrictions;
Here is how to change the MOH for CallManager;
Music On Hold Audio Sources
An MOH audio translator service converts administrator-supplied audio sources to the proper format for the music on hold server to use. The audio translator uses two parameters, an input directory and an output directory. You can configure the input directory, which defaults to C:\Program Files\Cisco\MOH\DropMOHAudioSourceFilesHere, on a per-service basis. The output directory, a clusterwide parameter, contains a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) name to a shared directory on the default MOH TFTP directory. For whatever directory is specified, append \MOH.
When the administrator drops an audio source file into the input directory, the MOH Audio Translator processes the file and then moves it into the output directory along with any files that are generated. Cisco CallManager supports most audio source file formats as input sources, including wav and mp3 files. After the input audio source is converted, an audio source file exists for each codec type that the music on hold server supports. Supply the highest quality source that is available.
For each music on hold audio server, you may define up to 50 audio sources. A Cisco CallManager Administration window supports addition, update, and deletion of each audio source. The music on hold server also supports one fixed input source. The system supports the following codecs: G.711 a-law/mu-law, G.729a, and wideband.
Note: Because the G.729a codec is designed for human speech, using it with music on hold for music may not provide acceptable audio quality.
From this good MOH doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00803f3a9f.html#wp1027441
Be careful with this issue;
CallManager Failure to Load Large MOH Audio Source Files

HT1688 iOS7 and connecting calls when using Bluetooth device

After upgrading to iOS7, it takes a long time to connect a call when using Bluetooth in my car. Worse of all, when checking voicemail, the message does not come across the Bluetooth device even when audio device output is selected as Bluetooth device. Any solutions to this problem?

Hi, eklinck.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device can resolve the issue.

Operating multiple bluetooth devices and "default ...

Hi everyone, I recently i got my self one of these bluetooth bracelets and as i have a stereo bluetooth kit in my car, i started to have problems with these connections.
They won't work together because both of them are recognized as audio devices for the n95. The bad thing is that i can't have the bracelet already paired with the phone in order to pair the bluetooth kit (the bracelet must be manually unpaired, turned-off, etc BEFORE THAT), and vice versa.
What i wanted is not to have to manually unpair anything before a new pairing process, and i thought that toggling an enhancement as default in settings, would do that, but it doesn't, and i don't know what's the use of it then.
Can you please point me a solution, or maybe a 3rd party software that can handle these bluetooth connections in a better way?

Thank you

Unfortunately, Bluetooth for the iPhone only works with phone calls. That's it. It will not let you transfer files to other Bluetooth devices, or stream audio to Bluetooth headphones or speaker systems.

HT204387 My Iphone 4S will not allow me to answer incoming calls on any bluetooth headset without selecting it from the audio source menu.

My Iphone 4S will not allow me to answer incoming calls on any bluetooth headset without selecting it from the audio source menu.The connection works because once I do select the device...I can hear and speak. Any ideas?

Thank you templeton peck, I just rang them, turns out my contract doesn't allow it!

Iphone 4 no longer changing audio source to make call via in car bluetooth.

Hi, I have an Audi A4, my iphone 4 connects to it, you can look at the directory's, calls made, missed etc,
When you want to make a call or receive a call, the audio source from the phone is not put through the car, its only goes through the phone.
Checking the iphone, it used to show a list of audio sources i.e. the car's bluetooth connection, the speaker or the phone.
No it doesn't show the car's bluetooth.
My HTC Desire S has no such issues and voice can be heard through the car's bluetooth, so I assume that the car's bluetooth is not at fault.
Thanks for any help

I had this same problem with my iPhone 4 and my BMW. I deleted the pairing and paired the phone to the car again, and the same issue occurred.
I reset the iPhone by pressing the on/off switch and the home button and that worked! The audio sources showed up and I was able to get audio from the car.

PC as a bluetooth Device and accept input from other devices

I need to set my PC up as a bluetooth device by use of a bluetooth dongle connected to my PC. I need to have a program running on my PC that will detect other bluetooth devices and connect with them, accept input from them. Please help me do this. anyone got code for this? Thank you a gazillion in advance !! :)

There's no way to do is with standard Java as far as i know. You'll have to use JNI to use native libraries.

My bluetooth seems to have stopped working in my car. Both phone and car audio says it is connected but nothing comes through car speaker. I no longer have screen on iphone that says to choose audio source. How do I get that screen back?

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

My Iphone 6 (8.1.2) is very slow and sluggish to response whenever it is connected any bluetooth devices ex. my car audio or bluetooth headsets
The moment I disconnect the bluetooth , the phone turns normal again. This happens when i awaken the phone and try to access the home screen, this takes almost 4 to 5 seconds at times.
Is anyone facing similar issues, Please advice

When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, e.g. Pages, to open the file.

The Get Info dialog should look something like this:
The "Change All" button should be at the bottom of the "Open With" section. This is how it appears in Snow Leopard. Other OSX versions many be slightly different.
If something is changing the setting back to something else you may have a deeper problem than I am able to help you with. What is appearing in the Open with area before you correct it?
If the problem is still persisting, instead of double clicking on the file to open it, try right or control clicking and then select Open With and choose the proper app from the list.

Audio problem after disconnecting bluetooth device

Hi All,
I tried to setup a bluetooth headset with my computer a while back and have since abandoned that idea (which i'm okay with).
Now though, my iChat won't send the audio to the computer's speakers.
What setting do i need to change to get this working again?
I've:
- deleted the bluetooth headset from my bluetooth devices
- tried to make sure the settings for AIM and iChat in my sound preferences were set to built in. My AIM setting is 'custom' and i don't seem to be able to change it.
- checked iChat prefs for any setting that could control this. I saw a posting on the web that indicates an output drop box in the AV prefs but i don't have that (and i don't have a camera hooked up to my machine.
Anyone have any advice for me?

I'm not sure what you mean when you say that iChat won't send the audio to the computer's speakers. What audio?
Things to try:
1) Zap the parameter RAM by holding down the Command-Option-p-r keys (four keys) at startup until you hear the startup chime ring three times.
2) If you're using the built-in speakers, try using external speakers or a USB headset.

Bluetooth Audio Source- Auto Switching IOS6

I have had the iPhone4s working forever with 2 different Cadillacs (2010 and then a new 2013) only to find once I upgraded to the latest iOS6 on the iPhone 4s the Bluetooth hands free for phone changed its behavior for the worst. Symptoms:
Once the Phone is "paired" it works- someone can call me and I can answer it with the handsfree system in the Escalade. When making outbound calls is when it goes one of two ways listed below.
1. Phone dials and connects however the Audio "source" is the Handset in which case I have to click the Audio Source button on the handdset and select my Car handsfree for the call, which it then switches instantly to the car and everything proceeds fine. (The phone for some reason switches from the overhead audio source to handset by default)
2. Phone dials and connects and works perfectly over the Handsfree system
The phone ALWAYS connects as it should- it ALWAYS works flawlessly on incoming phone calls- its ONLY when I dial a call it goes to either the handset OR the Overhead system. There is NO pattern for the behavoir, it could work perfect for 3 straight calls then the 4 call it prefers the Handset. Or it could go to the handset on the FIRST call.
I am on the phone constantly so this bug is very annoying. When I dial someone I have to wait to see if its going to randomly select the overhead sound system or the handset. This was not a problem in this vehicle when I was running IOS5- it literally started when I upgraded the Iphone 4s to IOS6. I figured (hoped) that when the iPhone5 arrived it would make the problem go away however its the exact same behavoir.
Has anyone else experienced this awesomeness? (I have already deleted and re-paired it a few times to no avail)
Frank

I am having the same issue in my 2013 GMC Acadia Denali.
I believe it was working fine when I bought the car in December of 2012... but an apple update (iOS 6.01) created this problem.
I realize the car could still be at fault (perhaps the iPhone is doing things correctly, but the car is connecting to the bluetooth 4.0 standard incorrectly), but either way I just wish things were working like they used to.
This is a dangerous and annoying bug.

HT3986 Hello, as a extremely advanced user, after trying to install Targus AMB09EU on 64bit Windows 7, I have reached a stage where no new Bluetooth devices are detected, while Apple wireless kb+mouse still work perfectly, can somebody give any input plea

The device I tried to install was Targus AMB09EU mouse.
The end result was losing ability to detect any new Bluetooth devices, although Apple kb+mouse works.
Any input would be appreciated.

This really is a question best aimed at Microsoft and Targus user forums, you may not get an answer here.
