I just purchased dr dre bluetooth headphones. They crash the bluetooth support on my macbook pro after a couple minutes of
audio. They bring down the bt mouse also.
The headphones work okay on my ipad.
Any ideas?

Wireless Dre Beats & iPhone 4 (via Bluetooth)

I'm struggling to connect my new Wireless Beats by Dre (Headphones) to my iPhone 4 via Bluetooth. No such problems exist when I connect them to my Macbook. Can anyone help?

Thanks for the (negative) answer. So the only way to synchronize the iphone with the MacBook is to use the cable? Would not have expected that is does not work ...

Using bluetooth headset causes OSX to freeze regularly

I'm having problems using my Bluetooth Plantronics P590 headset. It causes OSX to become unstable. I've been using it for 2 days, and had about 4 crashes (OSX locking up) during that time. When I use the headset, lots of times my bluetooth Mighty Mouse becomes jittery (annoying but not more than that, and solvable by turning the mouse off and on). However, sometimes it just completely freezes my machine (the screen turns grey and a message appears in several languages saying I need to restart my computer by holding the power button). The last log sent to Apple looks like this:
Tue May 20 09:09:06 2008

When using the headset in combination with Skype, there are outgoing audio troubles (see http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=137331). I do feel though that that is a Skype problem, because I can record audio fine using Audacity. I just thought I'd mention it here as it might be important.
So basically the problem seems to be that using the bluetooth headset compromises the stability of OSX. I am using two more bluetooth devices (Mighty Mouse + wireless Apple keyboard).
I am now using my USB headset again and things work as expected, lockups do not appear anymore so it really seems to be related to the bluetooth headset.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Same problem, I'm using a Kensington 33348 USB Bluetooth adapter and a Cardo S2 Headset. Have been using the Kensington for over 6 months with other devices now and then. Just paired the S2 headset today and have had two kernel panics when listening to music. Not Good. So I wonder if the problem is the Kensington, the Cardo, or OS X Bluetooth.

System highly unstable and crashes while using Bluetooth (Plantronics)

I got the new Macbook Pro with Leopard 10.5.6 and "some what" happy with the performance. OS looks to be buggy, in particular while using bluetooth devices or with high load and I have uploaded crash dumps couple of times to apple (support listening??) . I observed that when I use the Plantronics Pulsar 590A (http://www.plantronics.com/northamerica/enUS/products/cat1150057/cat5420035/prod29780013) watching video (iTunes, iMovie) the headset behaves strange i.e after all the hassle of going through the frequent connectivity issue (for which there's a question pending with no answer ), the sound drops or there's some crackling noise etc.
More annoying problem is that the system crashes very frequently. i.e. while using the BT headset, watch video or listen to music for couple of minutes, close the app or put the system to sleep, then after some time try watching or listening some thing else, the system becomes unbelievably slow and finally gives up with an error message - Kernel panic, system needs to be restarted. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the Restart button. If I don't use the bluetooth head set, the crashes are not so frequent but will crash for sure (I extensively use Virtualbox with one or two guest oses and most of the other crashes are from Virtoalbox)
Also I observed that the Microsoft NB 5000 mouse also behaves odd i.e. Connection keeps getting dropped.
Any ideas/suggestions ? I think this is the problem with Mac OS bluetooth driver as both these devices works without any problem on Windows XP/Vista on other hardware (not Mac x86).

Try reinstalling OS X:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
Some third-party peripherals may not be compatible with OS X. This may be especially a problem with peripherals that use proprietary drivers such as mouse software. If you are using Microsoft's driver software with your mouse consider uninstalling the software and driver. If this helps with your mouse, then you might try using SteerMouse - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - instead of the Microsoft software.

How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband?

How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband? I can't get it to work after many tries.

I can pair the headphones with the computer but the sound from GB is distorted and muffled. I can barely hear it. The set works with iTunes, but not with GarageBand.

Can I use a bluetooth headset as a microphone in iTunes?

Don't know if this is te right forum but its about iTunes!
I am very new to all this "wireless" tech being of the old school where everything had a wire attached but thanks to Alexander Traud I now have a phone, headset and two computers all conversing nicely wirelesly.
So, to the question. I am the aging DJ for our ex-pats club here in Spain and use my white iBook as an iTunes jukebox at home and as the player at the club for my 50's to 70's disco. Its great not having to throw around disks of vinyl anymore and a lot lighter and smaller to carry the record collection too! I was wondering if I could use the BT Motorola H500 headset instead of the wired microphone. I have tried but despite being able to play the iTunes output through the headset (not what I want to do) and the Sound preferences indicate that when I speak I am registering on the input bar I can't get my voice out the headphone output ie. where the main disco amplifier is plugged in.
Can I do this and if so how please. It seem a shame if you can't.
TIA
Mike

Hi Robert
Thanks for answering. I didn't know where to post other than the bluetooth forum which is relatively quiet and had no answers forthcoming.
Yes the voice isn't reaching the amp although it is registering on the input bar in the Sound System Prefs, just won't "play through" as it were. I can't see how it could be done I was just hoping someone might see something I am missing.
It seems a shame that you can't do it as iTunes on an old iBook makes a good juke box for DJ'ing and with everything becoming wireless these days it seems sensible that you could cut that one last wire.

I am unable to use my bluetooth headset to record voice memos, is there a trick to this?

I have a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ Bluetooth headset, I am unable to use it to record voice memos on my Iphone 4, using IOS 6.1.3. The memos record fine when using the built-in mike but not the Bluetooth headset. Does anyone have any insight or comments that might help resolve this situation?
Thank you.

I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic. And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4. However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.

I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic. And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine. I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers. However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic. I just get barely audible static. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.
Thanks!

How do I use my bluetooth headset with apple maps?

I can't seem to get apple's maps to talk to my headset -- it's only using it's own speaker (I don't have a bluetooth-enabled car). Any ideas?

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then. Is there a way to fix this?

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen. Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

How can I use my computer as a Headset device for my phone with Bluetooth?

Hello, Both my laptop and my phone support A2DP but for some reason the service (from the phone) does not show up while I add a new connection and the phone does not let me initiate a connection with any other profile except FTP, even though it detects other services in the service list like A2DP and works perfectly fine with other profiles like DUN, HID, OPP, SSP if the connection is started through the computer. I am currently using the latest version of the Toshiba stack [v8.00.12(T)], I have tried using WIDCOMM but it refuses to install drivers for both the internal Bluetooth and the USB Bluetooth that I use on my desktop. The standard Microsoft stack (generic driver) does install but it does not seem to communicate with my internal and external (USB) Bluetooth. With BlueSoleil (the default stack that came with the USB Bluetooth) I could set my device as "headset" instead of only "laptop/desktop", and this allowed both my phones to detect my laptop as a device they can use as a headset, but the problem with this stack was that only the older phone could actually connect to my laptop and that the internal Bluetooth could not be used. Basically, I want to set the device type as a "headset" for my phone using the Toshiba stack like I did with BlueSoleil. Is there any way this could be done? Thanks. Attached: Device type selection

It's not possible. You can use the iMac as a display for the MBP, but the reverse is not possible. The MBP does not have Target Display Mode as a feature and no third-party app nor hack can enable something that doesn't exist. The only way to accomplish this will be one of the network solutions.

Is there anyway to use the ipad2 as a bluetooth headset?

Well that is my initial question.
i have well searched the internet for the answer but haven't found anything really relevant to my search.
i have a few tablets in my house for my kids, visitors, and for my wife and me. This question arose when i connected my iphone 4s to my hp touchpad.
Webos has a feature to connect my phone to the touchpad and use it as a secondary dialer and receiver for phone calls as the tablet itself has a mic, and speakers. ( Basically for those who have used a bluetooth headset, hands-free receiver in car, it is just that).
The neat feature of this is, when my kids are running around playing with my phone, or my phone is lost somewhere in the house or in my jacket, the tablet can be connected to the phone wherever it is in the house, and still receive the calls from my tablet.
Now for the people who will ask, why are you going to put a tablet to your face. No that is not the case. it's like using your bluetooth receiver in your car. i will listen through the speakers and speak to the mic of the hp touchpad. like a speaker phone. *i know for a fact that tablets in korea are made to make and receive calls just like a phone, But america just wants to limit everything for their people. you may really think how stupid is it to use a tablet as a phone but it really isn't. like i said before they either use a headset or use it like a speaker phone.
THIS comes VERY handy as while i am working on my car in my workshop, browsing the internet or looking through my FSM on my ipad, i can receive a call and not miss it. Sometimes i will miss the call because i am using my ipad2 to listen to pandora through my sound system and won't even hear my phone, or even my phone may be on vibrate.
For my wife this feature is GREAT, while she is in the kitchen she was able to receive calls easily because she was using it to look through receipes. all she had to see is the number and hit the green call button when a call came with one touch. she didn't have to wash her hands, dry, and then reach for the phone. i mean she was saying that she wanted another touchpad just for this purpose alone. ( also for those who don't know the touchpad has crazy speakers )
The hp touchpad does this and i am wondering WHY the ipad2 cannot. the BT tech is there.
you may also ask, why not use the hp touchpad? ... that is for my kids, and all my info is on the ipad2. also down to earth the ipad2 cost me more.
why not just use a speakerphone or a bluetooth headset? they are so annoying while you are working on your car. a speaker phone might be a good alternative but why buy something when it's something i may be able to do with my ipad2.
so is there a solution? even in the jailbroken community? i am willing to do whatever it may take to accomplish this because then it might be a neat feature.
so please i know this was long but i feel that there might be others who might want to use this type of feature.

ok that is understandable and fully reasonable. but tech is tech. when one is made to do everything it can also be limited through the code.
Would anyone be able to make or program something to override the code and just use it to send/receive through the hardware. like said the bluetooth tether feature was not doable but mywi was able to through jailbreaking.
what i am asking is, would be it possible?
( edit: didn't read the part of the profiles. )
profiles are not editable? ... or even replaceable?
or is it really just too much work ?

Can I use a bluetooth headset and a bluetooth isimple remote at the same time?

I use a wireless headphone when I ride my motorcycle and its great, but I would like to hook up a remote that would allow me to skip tracks, pause, and adjust volume.
I found this:
http://www.amazon.com/iSimple-Portable-Wireless-Smartphones-Bluetooth/dp/B00KPZN 5UC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428870380&sr=8-1&keywords=isimple+remote
I need to know if I can use it and my wireless headphones at same time before I buy it though since they both use bluetooth

There is no wired controller I know of. Your wired headphones should have a controller on them.
You can connect more than one BT device to an iPhone you just cannot use more than one A2DP stereo Bluetooth device or Handsfree Headset. Check with the iSimple people and see which BT profile they are using for their remote. If it is low power bluetooth then you can use it with your headset.

10.6.8 update causes bluetooth to repeatedly "crash" while using headphones

I'm having severe problems with bluetooth "crashing" during headphone use, causing bluetooth to become "bluetooth not available".
This problem is very frustrating, causing me to stop using my Sony DR-BT101 headphones with my iMac. I've tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC, but the problem still persists. In fact, last night, after resetting the SMC for what seems to be the millionth time, my bluetooth became "unavailable" about 10 minutes into using my Sony headphones, or 15 minutes from the SMC reset. But It's not all bluetooth activity that causes this problem. I use my Magic Trackpad all day without any hiccups. It's only when I use the bluetooth headphones that bluetooth crashes.
But I use the term "crash" loosly, since I can't find any problems identified in the console, and the bluetooth diagnostic utility doesn't work when the bluetooth controller becomes unavailable. I'll be watching a movie with my Sony headphones when all of a sudden silence, followed by a "lost connection" message from the Magic Trackpad. I check the bluetooth icon in the menu bar, and it's "Bluetooth not available" all over again.
Does anyone have an insight as to some solution to this problem? I was hoping that the last update to 10.6.8 (HDMI) might've fixed the bluetooth problem, but no luck.
Thanks.

Apple might fix the problem with SL; they did release the 10.6.8 Supplemental Update, which fixed an HDMI problem. So we might get a fix.
Don't know if this problem affects Lion. I haven't read much about it, since I'm not upgrading for another few months.
