Bluetooth headphones disconnecting after pausing video content on Yosemite.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
Yosemite 10.10.3 (latest public beta)
(short) My Beats Studio Wireless headphones will disconnect after pausing video content.
(long) My headphones will connect without issue. However, after watching video content (either on Safari or QuickTime), the headphones will disconnect from bluetooth. To re-connect, I must turn the headphones off then back on. I have read the bluetooth faqs and there are no solutions addresses this issue. I have had moderate results by removing com.apple.bluetooth.plist and re-pairing my devices, yet, the problem returns after watching video in Safari. This problem only persists on OS X. I have tested the headphones with Windows and iOS and they work as intended with no dropouts. Any ideas?

Hi tlacroixia,
Thank you for the response. Because this is not happening when your computer goes to sleep, the first troubleshooting steps I would recommend would be to reset your computer’s PRAM and SMC. Please follow the instructions located in the attached two articles below to complete these steps, and again, please let me know if the issue continues.

[Z3 compact] Bluetooth headphones disconnecting after unlock screen

I've just encountered a strange issue while listening to music over bluetooth on my Sony MDR-10rbt headphones (connected in high quality mode, aptx codec used). It's fine until you try to unlock te screen, it then immediatly switches to play the music over the normal speakers at maximum volume. At home not so much of an issue but in a quiet office environment very annoying, even more so if people don't tend to appreciate my choice of music
The strange thing is, in the walkman software it still says it's connected to the headphones (throw icon glowing) and even the BT icon in the bar is white and not light grey so it's still connected as far as the phone is concerned.
The Z3 compact is on 23.0.A.2.105 and the headphones are fully charged.
I also have a Z2 (the Z3 compact is supposed to replace it), that does have the same behaviour. That's running 17.1.1.A.0.402.

Bluetooth headphones disconnect randomly

Hi,
I have been using some bluetooth headphones (Sennheiser MM-550X) for a while now and while they are playing audio they stay connected, however if I stop the playback sometimes they disconnect and the Mac reverts to the internal speakers. I'm not sure if it is the headphones disconnecting because there is no audio coming through or the OS disconnecting them because there is no audio being output or if it is something else. Also it is very random, sometimes they can be sitting on the desk with no audio playing for an hour and will stay connected, other times they disconnect after just a minute or two.
Anyone got any ideas on how to keep them connected at all times when they are switched on?
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Andrew.

I have this same problem on my mac with my bluetooth headphones (Kinivo BTH220). As long as sound is playing from my mac they stay connected. If sound stops, the sound output switches over to interal speakers. For example: If I'm listening to Spotify, the headphones disconnect after every track, I can reconnect them without any errors but it's super annoying.
I'm on an iMac, OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

When Bluetooth headphones disconnect, applications become muted until next launch

When I disconnect my Bluetooth headphones, either by choice, or due to a dead battery, the applications that were routing audio to the headphones become muted until the next time they are launched. Reconnecting the Bluetooth headphones doesn't unmute them.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use an application with audio going out to Bluetooth headphones.
2. Disconnect headphones.
Expected Results:
Audio returns to Mac builtin speakers
Actual Results:
Application is muted until next launch. Reconnect headphones, and the app is _still_ muted.
Anyone else experience this problem? It's especially annoying when I'm playing video games that can't be quickly relaunched without losing progress.
System:
Bose AE2W Bluetooth Headphones
Mac OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks
13" mid-2013 MacBook Air, Intel Core i7

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Hi Todd.
I just finished running all the updates for adobe and it did not find any updates for Premier Pro, so the current version I have is 5.5. I'm going to check to see if there is any update I can download from Adobe that is not been detected by adobe updater so I can upgrade to Premier 5.5.1.
Thanks Todd.

Sound goes out of sync after pausing video

Hi everyone,
Got a 1 month old Apple TV which is working just great with videos bought off the store... However I've run into a really annoying problem when watching videos that I've encoded myself. They will all play just fine, from beginning to end - unless I pause them. When the videos are un-paused the sound is badly out of sync, and no amount of pausing/unpausing stopping/starting will get it back in sync again. Best I can do is restart from the beginning and fast forward to the same spot and this usually results in a better sync - but not perfect. This happens with both SD and HD encoded video. They are playing off the internal drive having been synced over from my itunes library.
My Apple TV is on 3.0.1 firmware and I'm running iTunes on a Windows 7 laptop. I've been using "Any Video Converter Pro" (http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video/)to re-encode my videos as I don't know much about the subject and it has an AppleTV option which makes it really easy...
Here's the settings used for a typical video file: 1280x720 resolution with a 3500kbs bit-rate at 25fps, audio bit-rate of 128kbs with a 44100 sample rate. 2 channels.
Would be grateful for any ideas on what's going wrong here as this is really spoiling my enjoyment of the apple tv.
Cheers,
Steve

Sounds like the encoder software causing issues.
When I encode on the Mac from my Camcorder to itunes/ATV I use HandBrake with good results - there is linux and Windoze versions versions available.
It has a preset for ATV as the destination which saves the hassle of tweaking the settings to start with....
It's been around sometime and was fantastic help when I went from Windoze to Mac a few years ago, and I wanted to re-encode all those files I had still in raw DV format from the camera.

Audio out of sync after pausing video

I have recently bought an Apple TV and the first thing I did was to update it with the latest firmware. I synced the Apple TV with my PC's library. When I watch my videos they run okay... until I hit the pause button.
Every time I pause a video the picture lags by a few seconds behind the audio. The same issue occurs if I try to restart the movie and fast forward it to where I reached. It's frustrating and I couldn't find a solution for it. The only thing available to me, it seems is to watch the video again from the start.
These are home movies that have been encoded to MP4 on my PC using Format Factory. Is there a way to get rid of the lags, perhaps a better encoding software?

Could be the encoding. Never heard of that software.
You could possibly convert the files in iTunes by right clicking and choosing conversion for AppleTv option but that takes time and will only work for things iTunes can play natively. There may be better options but MPEGStreamclip is a versatile free video converter as I believe is the latest version of the Handbrake utility.

Bluetooth mouse disconnects after sleep in W540, Windows 8.1

I have paired a bluetooth mouse and it works fine - until computer has been in sleep. After sleep the mouse does not work until I go into settings - Change PC Settings - PC and Devices - Bluetooth. I do not have to do anything, it just connects when "Manage Bluetooth Devices" opens.
I have looked into forum and swithed off the "allow the computer to turn off device to save power" in device manager for device Intel Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 + HS adapter. No effect.
I have Windows 8.1. The mouse worked fine in my older HP laptop with Windows 7.1

Backbeat 903 Bluetooth Headphones and iOS4

I have a pair of Backbeat 903 headphones (originally from Altec Lansing, now Plantronics) that I love, and they've worked great with my iPhone 3Gs for 6 months.
I just upgraded to iOS4 on the iPhone, and I found that the Play/Pause toggle button on the headphones no longer works correctly. If the music is already paused, it does nothing. If the music is playing, the button makes the audio cut out for a few seconds while the track keeps playing, then the audio comes back in after a few seconds.
I wondered if something had happened to the Backbeat's button, so I looked into exchanging it under warranty. Before sending it, though, I purchased a new pair. I just got the new pair and they are doing the same thing, which means this is probably an iPhone software issue or Bluetooth issue.
Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

I'm relieved -- I thought I had done a reset before, but I guess I didn't follow all the way through.
My bluetooth issue was fixed by holding down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time, waiting through the power down screen, blackout, and finally the silver Apple logo.
When I repaired with the bluetooth headphones, the play/pause toggle switch worked as expected.

Bluetooth audio disconnects

Why does my aptx bluetooth connection disconnect after 3 minutes and 6 seconds repeatedly?
I'm using a cambridge DAT Magic Plus with a BT 100 and a Sennheiser aptx dongle on my mac pro.

CA have issued a patch for BT100 that fixes this aptX problem, it's available on the website here...

You need Windows to run the patch though

How can I stop iPad from starting the music app after ending a phone call when using Bluetooth headphones?

music app automatically starts after using Bluetooth headphones during a phone call

If you don't have iTunes you will need to buy the song from the iTunes store and download it that way. If it is a custom track you may be out of luck. The only way to get a song on your device without iTunes involves jailbreaking it.
iOS is set up to prevent people from emailing each other songs, videos, movies, books, etc. This is how Apple got their contracts with the content providers by promising that they would do what ever it takes to prevent people from sharing content that they didn't pay for.

Pause or mute music when headphones disconnect

Would there be any way to be able to pause or mute the music player when the headphones accidentally disconnect ?, similar to how an iPod/iPhone would.
I own a E71 but that should not make a difference, i have used other nokia devices before, and was not able to get that setting
Thanks,
Neil

I'd like to see this one, I work in a quiet office but listen to music off my 5800 via bluetooth headphones. Occasionally I walk away from phone with my headset slung round me neck forgetting about it. The phone loses the connection, so automatically switches to blaring the music out the speakers! I then have to charge back to my desk, unlock the phone and hurriedly pause the music.
Frankly there is no situation where I want music to play out of the speakers, I'm not a teenager walking down the street!

Problem with video audio sync using Bluetooth headphones

I have recently bought a pair of beats studio wireless headphones but when using my ipad there are sync issues with video and audio. Many apps have the problem but sky go seems to be the worst followed by YouTube. Apple video is not too bad but not perfect.

Hello Jamie,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your new Bluetooth headphones. It can certainly get frustrating if the audio gets out of sync when using the headphones.
I recommend reviewing the sections titled "Resolution" and "Bluetooth disconnects, intermittent connectivity, or unable to find" in the following article for steps to troubleshoot the issue you described:
