Bluetooth Headphones with FM Radio?

Can I use Bluetooth Headphones to listen to the FM Radio on a 7th Generation Ipod nano?

The irritating part is that if you connect the wired earphones and play music it WILL connect to BT headphones and speakes and send the audio to those BT devices. So it is absolutely possible to have wired headphones attached and redirect the audio to BT. They just didn't implement this for the FM Radio, or forgot, or didn't think it was important. The requirement for the headphones for the antenna, shouldn't preclude using BT as an output for the FM Radio. The switch output device shown in the nano manual (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf) pg 55 only appears next to the volume control if you are playing music.
Needs to be fixed, if for no other reason than it is inconsistent. A blight on the interface.

Bluetooth headphone with MIC

I'm considering to purchase a Bluetooth headphone with MIC for my iPad mini. If I connect, will the headphone MIC take over the iPad's builtin microphone?

However, it sounds like you're saying that the headphones will work but the microphone won't, right? Thanks
mainly true and most likely yeah! The sound will come through the headsets but the microphone will not be able to function at all.... The bluetooth on the iPod touch is very limited to what function it can perform, like Meg St. Clair mentioned is for stereo Headphone; wireless speakers and games. Things like headsets or anything(like microphones)that might be used as with Bluetooth is not supported. The only way you can get a microphone to work is if it's plugged in on the headphone Jack at the bottom of the iPod touch. Sorry that you had to hear that, you were probably hoping that you could use the Bluetooth with that microphone.....

Can I use Bluetooth headphones with a 1st generation iPhone?

Can I use Bluetooth headphones with a 1st generation iPhone? The headphones pair but the sound comes out of the phone and not the headphones. The phone has iOS 3.1 which is the last software the phone will support. Thanks.

This will help you:
Original iPhone
The original iPhone features Bluetooth capabilities only for making calls. Connecting to a PC or streaming audio other than phones calls through Bluetooth is not supported.
IPhone 3G
With the iPhone 3G operating system, its Bluetooth capabilities are expanded to support wireless stereo headsets, file sharing with other Bluetooth devices, and use of the iPhone as a 3G modem. Also supported are new capabilities for combining the iPhone with Bluetooth accessories.
IPhone 4.0
The 4.0 version of the iPhone's operating systems keeps the expanded Bluetooth functions introduced in version 3 and adds one new benefit: Bluetooth keyboard support, so iPhone owners can use wireless keyboards wherever they go.

Is there a way to use Bluetooth headphones with apple tv

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to use my Bluetooth headphones with my Apple TV3. I know it has Bluetooth as I can use the keyboard.

It's a pretty good idea - why not send a suggestion here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
....especially as AppleTV has no analogue audio out, and most non-Bluetooth wireless headphones would expect an analogue input (there are some expensive ones that handle optical, or the user coudl maybe use TV headphone/audio out, but Bluetooth audio might be handy for many.

Iphone 6 with IOS 8.0.2 bluetooth broken with RHB430N Radio in 2011 Ram 1500

I got my 64GB Iphone 6 just after release date, paired properly with my RHB430N radio in my 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 and worked great. When the new update of IOS came out 8.0.2, I installed that on my phone. Now the bluetooth is broken with my radio. It seems to pair ok from the radio side but I get a message that the phone cant see the uconnect radio during pairing. When I try and make a call, It wont work through voice activation, if I do get to work, the call stays active for about 5sec on the radio then it shuts off, the phone stays on making the call. Weird!
I tried a factory reset on the radio, as well as network reset on my iphone with no luck. My Iphone 4S i had previously paired and worked fine with IOS 7.1.2
anyone else with the issue? I noticed a few other people with different vehicle makes with the same issue after the 8.0.2 update and like I said it paired and worked fine with IOS 8.0 out of the box.
any fixes or work arounds available meantime?

I got my 6 three days ago (fine device, by the way. Meg St Clair will be proud of me: I finally took the plunge, I who claimed that I would never buy another iPhone, but I'm dithering...), and so far, no issues, none whatsoever, when syncing my phone via USB.
WiFi syncing is another matter, though, because the phone simply doesn't appear in iTunes. I've checked all the right boxes, made sure the phone was set to accept WiFi syncing, to no avail.
I'll look into it this weekend, just in case I missed something.
But I can tell you this: all the content I had backed-up is now back on the phone, nothing's missing. I have a 2006 MacBook Pro running Snow Leppard.

Videos/Games use internal speaker and not Bluetooth headphones with 4.2

Until yesterday, the bluetooth headphones would output all sounds.. music, videos, games..
With 4.2, it now only outputs sound on MUSIC. For videos, you need to click the sound icon and select the headphones. If you're listening to the ipod music on shuffle (and have music videos in there), it will play the music part in the headphones but switch the ipad speaker when a video comes on.
As annoying as that is, this part can be changed. In games, theres no way to change the output to the headphones (it's all the ipad speaker).
Is this intentional? something I need to change in settings somewhere?

You've done well with troubleshooting so far. Next step would be to back up and then restore from iTunes. Good luck!

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
No, the iPod and the Mac have different operating systems; iOS and OS X respectively. The apps must be developed for the Specific OS. When the same app is for both platforms, they are actually two different apps and if you want both, then you have to buy both separately from their respective app stores.

Bose Bluetooth headphone with skype

I recently purchased a Bose Bluetooth headphone planing on using my 3g iPhone with Skype, as ie does work with the plug in set that came with the phone. Is there any way I can do this ?

I have found the answer to my question. Leave the ipad at home and use a laptop.

Bluetooth headphones with itunes

i have some bluetooth headphones, LG HBS-200 and a bluetooth usb dongle for my laptop. I can connect my headphones to my computer, but i don't know how to make itunes work through them. (or any other media like power dvd for that matter) any help would be greatly appreciated.

i finally figured out how to make itunes play on your bluetooth headset...kind of a pain.
this is on vista...
click on the start bar, click on search, type sound.
click on sound, when sound loads you should see a list of sound devices for your computer. you have to disable your primary audio output.
FYI, right click and click display disabled items, so you dont have to go manually turn your internal speaker or speaker outputs back on

Anyone else lose bluetooth connection with car radio since updating to IOS 6?

I've lost consistent connection between my iPhone 4S and car radio (Kenwood) ever since I upgraded to IOS 6. This is apparantly happening to lots of people. I use this bluetooth for hands-free calling on my phone so I'm hoping Apple will come out with IOS 6.1 soon to address this software patch. Others experiencing this with their phones and car stereo systems?

I'm having probems as well. I can make calls and play music but I can only change songs on my iPhone 4S but not with the controls on the car. I was able to do this before the upgrade.

E51 Drops Bluetooth connection with Car Radio afte...

Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anybody has seen this before. It seems like a few people are seeing this but I have yet to find a solution. My phone pairs perfectly and works as it should for about the first 30 mins, then for no reason, it drops the bluetooth connection and I either have to power my phone or radio on/off. This is very annoying as it has now dropped the call too and I am force to redial.
Sometimes it does not even last 30 mins, and might happen after only 10 mins or so.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks.

Yes, I have a similar problem which is a real pain if the call is dropped mid-conversation. Have you installed the MS Exchange email client from Nokia because that may cause a disconnect during a poll update.
Other than that I can't suggest anything, except it would be good to get a solution to the problem!

Bluetooth headphone problem with miix 2 8"

I used to listen internet radio preferred by bluetooth headphones via Wi-Fi home network. The sound however is like "underground" and intermitted. With wired and RF headphones sound is clear and steady.
I have tested the bluetooth headphones with my desktop computer and Lumia. Both of them works very well, no interruptions or bad sound.
I have checked all sound and BT drivers, all Ok. What can I do, buy a new tablet?
Solved!

Full Windows recovery and everything OK

Bluetooth Headphones not working with the Nano 6th Gen

I was wondering if anyone else out there has issues with using bluetooth headphone with the new nano. I have a pair of Motorola Motoroka S9 headphones and have to use the D650 Adapter with it and when I plug into the bottom of the iPod I get "Unsupported" Accessory is not supported. As I know Apple hates to put bluetooth in anything other then iPod Touch & iPhones. What's up with that?? All my other nanos 2nd & 3rd Gens work fine with the adapter......but my current and newest one doesn't. Anyone else having that issue?

How did you reboot the ipod nano 6th gen?
Two things this thing needs.
1. Digital / regular watch face combo.
2. capable bluetooth headphones. Either a plug in add-on to either headphone or multi-pin port. Also a speaker of some sort to tell that an alarm is going off.
I use alarms on my watch.
more watch face designs(digital and analogue) would be awesome.
