Bluetooth headset not working with flash files

Just got a Plantronics Voyager 510 bluetooth headset. Works just fine, except when viewing clips at YouTube. Not only is there no sound, the clip freezes after a few seconds. I believe they are Adobe Flash. Now this is on my new late 2007 MacBook with Leopard.
So I figure I'll try the headset on my Intel 1.66 Mac Mine with Tiger 10.4.10. Same thing
Any ideas.

Apparently Apple cheaped out on the Bluetooth support in the Tiger OS X (or an official profile wasn't even available)....something to do with not having Stereo Headset support.
It is possible to circumvent it: http://blog.david.connolly.name/2007/06/stereo-bluetooth-profile-a2dp-on-mac-os. html However, as indicated on the top of that topic - it is outdated (and IMO too much effort).
In a nutshell - you're being quietly coaxed in to buying Leopard OS X - which does have the Stereo Bluetooth profile installed.
What I don't get is why Apple can't release to us a nice little patch for Tiger to give us the full use of our Bluetooth hardwares.

  • Bluetooth headset not working with 2008 Macbook!

    Hello,
    I just got a new Macbook and love it!
    But, the other day I tried out my Bluetooth headset and the A2DP headphone choice works great.
    But when I change it to headset for use with skype I can hear the person but all they hear is weird repeating static. I listened to myself with skype call testing service and it sounds bad. I looked in preferences of sound and most of the sound bars are purple and moving as if
    i am yelling into the microphone. I know it is not the headset for it works with my cellphone and eMac.
    Anything I do to the headset doesn't solve this or even brake the pattern in the purple bars.
    I turned off the headset when it was showing these bars and they kept going.
    It is not the headset. The Macbook is capable of receiving files through Bluetooth so it is not the input of Bluetooth that is the problem.
    Also, when I first started the microphone of the headset it was clear then after a couple seconds it started to drown out my voice then it was gone, replaced by shhhhhhchhh.
    My headset is a Plantronics 590E.
    Thanks,

    Yes, thank you.
    I was recently on Vacation and scheduled a Genius Bar visit and they tested my headset with another Macbook and same thing. I am very mad at Apple after finding this out. I had a feeling it was drivers or something but obviously could not test seeing as I only have one computer running Leopard, eMac runs Tiger. I actually have a third party bluetooth dongle working with my eMac. It is an Iogear dongle and on the box it says all features work with Mac and then I plugged it in and was unable to turn on/off and couldn't use headsets, then after hours of research I found a forum and downloaded a Broadcom driver and voila! it worked. That is also why I wasn't sure if it was a driver problem or hardware.
    If anyone needs a tutorial and the driver for a broadcom bluetooth USB dongle I would be happy to help.
    Thanks,

  • Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11

    I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?

    You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
    While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
    AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
    I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.
    Thanks,

  • Has anyone not working with .dv files had synchronization problems?

    Has anyone not working with .dv files had sound synchronization problems? I'm not exactly sure what the alternatives to DV are, but I think one of them is HD.
    The reason for asking this question is to help isolate the nature and cause of a very serious flaw in iMovie '11. In the original release of iMovie '11 (version 9.0) there was a small--but serious--synchronization problem. In the 9.01 there is a large synchronization problem. We know of one person who has not experienced the problem, and he is not working with DV files (media). So we want to find out if anyone who is using something other than .dv files is experiencing a lack of synchronization between sound and picture. Knowing the answer to this will help with figuring out where the cause lies. For the initial iMovie '11 release (9.0), you probably would not notice a problem unless you had very long event-clips, e.g., two hours long. Events get this long if you are transferring from analog 8 mm tapes. Even then, it would have to be in scenes in which the connection between event and sound is obvious, e.g., close ups of people talking. It isn't until the 9.01 release that most people would notice anything. All we need to do is establish one case of a synchronization problem in which the person is using something other than DV.

    Hopefully, the 9.0.2 release will make my question moot. Zyfert must have posted the announcement of the release just as I was formulating my question. Still, if you have information on the subject, it would be interesting to hear.

  • AIR SDK 17 (BETA) is not working with Flash CS6

    Hi,
    The latest AIR SDK 17 is not working with Flash CS6.
    I tried to publish and install an iOS app to my connected device via USB but I always get an error "Check if iTunes is installed".
    The latest stable AIR SDK 16 is working fine, and yes, iTunes is installed on my PC.
    DETAILS:
    - Flash CS6
    - AIR SDK 17
    - System: Windows 8,1
    - iPodTouch with iOS 8.1
    REPRODUCE:
    Open new AIR iOS template and publish/install it to a USB connected iOS 8.1 device.
    Anyone else got that error?

    I was getting this intermittently.   Not a super problem.   A remove and install in iTunes gets it loaded (after you tell ITunes where it is).

  • I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash player on some of my favorite web sites. Is there any alternative that will work on I-pad instead of flash?

    I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash Player on some of my favorite web sites! Is there another alternative to watching these site options on my I-pad?

    Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices - something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app).

  • Bluetooth n95 not working with headset

    i have recently bought the motorola s9 bluetooth stereo headset. there are a couple of problems. it works fine to connect for the first time using the code on the phone. then if i turn the headset off and on it connects and immediatly disconnects. this is a problem but not a major one.
    the biggest problem is the music cuts out all the time for a couple of seconds. i have tried placing the phone right next to the headset and it stil happens. i have read the other n95 forums and see this is very common with the new firmware (i had already installed new firmware so i dont know if this happened on the old firmware).
    does anyone else have this problem with another headset or can anyone give me a solution. how often does firmware come out. and is it possible to delete the new firmware.

    Same problem here, unfortunately - iPhone 3G & 3.0 do not work with both the SHB6100 and SHB7100 by Philips.
    Philips SHB6100 + iPhone 3G 3.0: A2DP *does not work*
    Philips SHB6100 + Nokia and SE phones: A2DP works
    Philips SHB6100 + MacBook Leopard: A2DP works
    Sony DR-BT30Q + iPhone 3G 3.0: A2DP works
    Complaining here, however, is not really going to help as these are user to user forums and there is nothing users can do to fix this. Please report this issue at the Apple iPhone Feedback page @ http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Bluetooth Headset Not Working in Bootcamp/Windows XP

    I have a Plantronics Bluetooth headset that works fine in OSX, and is paired successfully in Windows XP. For some reason though, Skype doesn't recognize it, and it is not visible in the sound control panel. The latest Macintosh Drivers disk seems to have updated the Bluetooth driver, and I thought all of those issues were resolved. Anyone know what the problem could be here?
    Thanks.

    Late arrival. I posted re this topic about a year ago, to no avail. Then - 10.5.2 - the youtube, etc. files froze along with no audio via bluetooth, now (10.5.7) the video plays and only the audio stops!
    This is not 'a Safari problem', it is a bluetooth/Mac/Flash problem that is ultimately only going to be sorted by Apple, I fear. And, I fear, it is not much of a priority for them while all their talent is still puzzling over the Java security problems...
    You could try looking at this thread:

    doesn't work with my headset (and probably works with none) either. Anybody know a hack that will allow changes to audio sampling rates offered in the Audio MIDI Setup app??
    Or any other solution? A number of us would be very grateful!

  • IPhone Bluetooth Headset Not Working Now

    My Bluetooth Headset was working fine last night. I charged in completely over night, and when I went to use it on my handy dandy iPhone 3G, I could not hear anything. It showed on my phone as connected and I could hear the beeping when I pressed the button on the Bluetooth, but I could not hear the other person talking! My phone has the current update, 2.2.1, and I have never had this issue before!
    If someone could please help me, I would greatly appreciate it!

    You should try restoring your iPhone through iTunes. I hear restoring has helped in such situations. Please report back with any news.

  • Bluetooth is not working with Windows 8.1 on U410 touch

    Hello,
    I have a Lenovo U410 touch, and i just upgraded to windows 8.1 though the store.
    And the bluetooth is not working at all, it says that the PC is searching for Bluetooth devices. While everything was working great before.
    I have updated all the drivers from the Lenovo websites and still nothing is working
    I went to device manager and checked under bluetooth: Intel (R) Centrino Wireless Bluettoth 4.0 + High Speed. Microsoft Bluettoth Enumator, Microsoft Bluetooth LE enumarator all 3 are up to date.
    Then I went to network connections (from the start) and i have a red cross under Bluettoth network connection 2 and says not connected.
    My windows is also up to date
    I really think gooing back to Windows 8 since i cannot listen to my music on my beatbox and connect to my phone and tablet,
    Thank you for your help

    hi erabbath,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    If you have the Intel Centrino N2230 Wireless + Bluetooth adapter, can you try to:
    1. Navigate to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Devices and Printers and try to pair a bluetooth device (i.e. Bluetooth Headset) and observe if it gets detected under the device list.
    2. If the Bluetooth Headset is listed but it's not working try toright click on it > choose Properties. On the bluetooth properties Window, go to the Services Tab and check all the appropriate bluetooth services.
    Sample picture
    Let me know your findings.

  • Captivate 5.5 not working with Flash 11.4?

    I had Flash 11.4 and published a module with click boxes that jump to URLs.  The click boxes don't appear in either preview or published mode.   No hand cursor, no click box, no URL, nothing.  I've double checked the settings on the click boxes three times... they are correct, and the box is the top most thing on the slide.
    Based on advice I found on this forum on other flash problems, I tried uninstalling Flash 11.4 and going back to 10.3.  Now every time I try to launch the module I immediately go to the Flash 11.4 download page, and get the message "this content requires Flash to play - download now".  So apparently you can't install an earlier version of Flash and use it with Captivate.
    Which isn't a solution anyway, because my I don't want my viewers to have to do that to take this training.  So what do I do?  How do I make these urls available?
    I won't waste my time calling Adobe support... I've made that mistake in the past.  I'm really hoping someone here can help me.  Upgrading to Captivate 6 isn't an option...it's not in the budget.   They need to make 5.5 work with Flash - it's not that old.  It's SO frustrating that every time there is a Flash upgrade I have problems with this stupid software.  If they are going to publish to Flash, they need to keep the software current.  They own both products for goodness sake - why don't they work together?   Please help!
    Thanks for your help.
    Toni Rexrode

    I doubt that Flash 11.4 is the cause of these issues.  Having Flash 11.4 installed on your box doesn't mean your end users will need it..  Captivate 5.5 and 6 will only publish as high as Flash 10.2.  So all your end users would need is that version or above.
    I assume when you say you have check the settings on your click boxes, you made sure you have them configured to show the hand cursor?  If this is not turned on then the normal mouse pointer is all that will be visible.  But I'm betting you've checked that already.
    What you may not realise is that sometimes Captivate will APPEAR to show your click boxes are on the top layer of the timeline when you look at it in Edit mode, but in fact they may be buried down under other objects in the layers and NOT be clickable at runtime.  This has caught me out a few times.
    To ensure that your clickboxes ARE on the top layers, select each click box in the timeline and then click the icon on the main toolbar to Bring Selected Objects to the Front.  Then publish and test again.

    Validation Event handlers will not work with your trusted recon. You can use the GTC Validation provider, it is nothing but the plugins which you can insert with in your source field in GTC. I think you can easily get the steps for how to create a custom GTC Providers.
