Bluetooth pairing failure

I "upgraded" to Yosemite last night and tonight I am having problems with my Trackpad and Microsoft wireless mouse 8000 pairing with my iMac. It was not a problem until I installed Yosemite last night and was actually using the Trackpad and Microsoft wireless mouse without difficulty until 15 minutes ago when everything went buggy. Trackpad will not pair and the Microsoft mouse pairing asks for pairing code that does not seem to exist with Microsoft.
Change does not necessarily mean better.

Hi there,
Sounds like you have the same problems as several people here and on other forums. Once I upgraded my eMac to 10.4.4 I found that I could no longer send from my Nokia 6670 to my Mac. Could still send to the phone and iSync. You'll see other threads about this in this forum, as well as Macfixit and Macworld.
Sorry I can't help you, I'm in the same boat! Really wish I'd never upgraded to 10.4.4
Regards,
Steve

IPhone 5S bluetooth pairing with prius in-car phone Issue

Let me begin by saying that this is my first problem with any apple device! EVER!!
I have an Verizon iPhone 5S, less than 2 months old, with the new OS 8.0.2 update and it will no longer pair correctly with my 2012 Prius V's in-car bluetooth phone. You try to call someone, it doesn't connect and you can't hang up!!!! Then auto-calls them when you turn the bluetooth on (in the phone)... but doesn't physically make the call on the phone. Now if the bluetooth in my phone is on, and I even start the car, the car states it's trying to call home. I have attempted many of the following in different combinations with no success:
Tried to end the call on the car's interface (it won't turn off), pressed the hang up button on the steering wheel -- nada.
Restarted Phone
Turned Car on/off/on
Removed all pairings and re-paired them together
Made sure the LTE option was on (the iPhone 6 option, which seems to be relatively successful, for data and voice/voice only/data only is not an option on iPhone 5S)
Now, my husband has a Droid 4 and it works seamlessly with the bluetooth pairing. The car does play, through the bluetooth, Audio through the phone.
I guess I should also state I did NOT have any issues with iOS 8.0 or the 8.0.1 upgrades with pairing with the car's bluetooth technology. I have checked and my Entune "upgrades" are all up to date.

Hello Sorridera,
The article linked below details a number of steps that can restore your iPhone's ability to correctly connect to your vehicle's Bluetooth system.

Bluetooth Pairing with Microsoft Sync - Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD

After the upgrade of my father-in-law's phone to KitKat (v 4.4.2) the bluetooth pairing to his Microsoft Sync in a 2013 Ford Explorer no longer works right. After deleting the pairing on the vehicle and then repairing, the contacts do not copy over. It says "downloading contacts, please wait" then comes back a few seconds later saying "no contacts". I've deleted and recreated the pairing on the vehicle twice but I cannot seem to delete it in the displayed devices on the phone.
I would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks for confirming Werica. I'm pleased to hear that the bluetooth functionality is still working. This sounds more specific to the hands free bluetooth system in your vehicle. Have you been able to test the device with another vehicle or another bluetooth capable accessory? If the device will works successfully with the others, I apologize our control is limited with a specific vehicle.

I have iphone 6 with ios 8.1.1. The bluetooth pairs with my sony car radio and everything works fine. However, the iphone won't stop searching for other devices.

I have an iPhone 6 with ios 8.1.1 operating system. The Bluetooth pairs with my Sony car radio and works fine. However, the iPhone will not stop searching for other devices. This does not seem to affect anything, but I can't help but think it is using battery power.

One possibility:
How do you know it is searching for other devices? Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?
Why is it searching for other devices? Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?

IPad mini retina won't bluetooth pair - even with Apple products!

my brand new ipad mini retina 128 doesn't bluetooth pair - even with an apple chicklet keyboard (or other keyboards or even with my iphone 5s)!!!!
what a joke
I've read posts and tried resetting ipad, bluetooth, peripherals, etc
any suggestions? again, totally weak on apple's part

Also, iOS devices will not pair with any other iPhone or iPad as you have found out. They are designed to be paired with bluetooth keyboards, stereos, headsets and, for thethering only, phones and computers.

HT204387 Does the IPhone 4S support NFC technology for Bluetooth pairing?

Does the IPhone 4s support NFC technology for Bluetooth pairing.

NFC and bluetooth are not the same thing.
The iPhone (no currently existing model) does not have the hardware required for NFC.

HT204387 what is the bluetooth pairing default code to connect to bluetooth device (car).

What is the bluetooth pairing code to connect to bluetooth device (car) for iphone 4 w 7.os

first you must put your iphone in the discover mode by going to bluetooth on your phone which places it in discovery mode. Them you must go to your car's bluetooth discovery mode and place it in discovery mode. If the phone sees the car and visa versa, the car will give you a code to place into your phone. Once you put the code into the phone the two will be linked. Make sure that your car has "automatic" link set so that your phone will link every time you turn on the ignition. Refer to your car's manual for more help or go to your dealer, they should be able to help you or even do it for you, but you need to know how to be able to discover and then link bluetooth devices yourself because every bluetooth device uses the same discovery formula especially if you want to use your IOS devices to play music through your system using bluetooth.

HT1338 Macbook Bluetooth paired but does not connect, how do i fix this?

Hello,
I have a Rocketfish Bluetooth device that I use to stream music wirelessly from my Macbook to my stereo. The macbook and bluetooth pair then connect but once i activate the connection fails. I've used other devices (ipad) to connect with the Rocketfish and it works so the bluetooth device is funtional so the issue must be on my macbooks end. Any thoughts on how i can get this to work?
Thanks,
Seth

Bluetooth

I have suddenly started getting "A Bluetooth Serial Failure Has Occurred" message suggesting the computer failed to open an RFCOMM serial channel: what do I do?

I have suddenly started getting "A Bluetooth Serial Failure Has Occurred" message suggesting the computer failed to open an RFCOMM serial channel: what do I do? This "opens" multiple times: three or four 'tiles.' It seems like the computer is looking for something, but can't find it. I'm not sure why this would start all of a sudden, but it concerns me. What should I do or what should I look for? Are there settings that need to be changed?

Can't regain Bluetooth pairing after 10.4.11 upgrade.

I upgraded last week to 10.4.11 and shortly after lost Bluetooth pairing with my Apple wireless keyboard. ? if the upgrade is involved in the malfuntion - but the timing is suspicious. DOZENS of attempts to re-pair the two have resulted only in the need to dig out my ancient G3 usb keyboard.
What have I tried? Restarting. Shutdown. Unplugging. Logging in and out. Resetting PRAM (which solved the problem of my machine also refusing to sleep after the upgrade - but zip on the Bluetooth front) I have replaced/rearranged the keyboards batteries. I checked the Bluetooth settings and made sure mouse keys are off. I have directed vibes, both loving and apocalyptic, towards Apple Computer.
Nothing.
This isn’t the first time Bluetooth has failed. Shortly after the initial set-up - which was slick as snot - it quit, requiring days of frustration for me and a half dozen Apple Care people, a replacement keyboard, and a trip to the shop. As I recall, it was never really established what the problem was, but I pitched my wireless mouse into the trash then and I’m hoping I won’t have to do the same with the keyboard ‘cos I hate cords....
Has anyone got any magic bullets for this? My machine consistently locates and recognizes the keyboard - it just won’t pair. It either loses the connection or times out.

I think I may have a similar issue, My Mighty Mouse works intermittently since I updated to 10.4.11.
Today was the strangest event - I could still point with the mouse but none of the buttons would work.
I believe I upgraded on 11/16/07, and the mouse connection has been lost a few times, but today I turned it off and on as usual, but the iMac didn't find it again.
I dug out an old USB mouse, and found that the mouse wasn't listed in the Mouse & Keybaord preference panel. I had to "set-up" the Mighty Mouse again. I decided to dust the mouse, so I shut it off, and again it was not recognized by the iMac until I went to "set-up" the mouse again.

Add a bluetooth pairing to a BTN200 headset

Hi,
The only way to connect to a new device is by first resetting the pairings by pushing the phone button and on-off buttn for 10 seconds.
This I have to doech time I switch the sending device. ( Samsung tab3, Acer smarphone, Taotronics transmitter)
What is the proper way to add a pairing while keeping the older ones?
How can I consult the existing pairings?
How can I select the proper device whn more than one device is sending bluetooth signals?
Thanks.

The headset can be paired with up to 8 devices. Make sure you do proper Bluetooth initialization (pages 41-42 of the manual). Bluetooth pairing only works one at a time and not at the same time.

Bluetooth to Bluetooth Pairing up...

i just got my i-phone on Friday and i was wondering if any knows why you can't pair up 2 i-phones bluetooth to bluetooh.. ?? i found my head set but not my wife's i-phone ?? anyone know ?? also, is there any way to add a custom ring tone when you get a text message instead of the usual ring tones it has built in ?? your help is greatly appreciated it..

Sorry, but Bluetooth pairing to anything other than headsets and some car systems is not a feature of the iPhone. Whether or not that will appear in the future, no one here can say.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

Jaguar - Blackberry Bluetooth Pairing Issue

My new 8100 Pearl recognises the hands-free kit in my 2007 Jaguar X-type ("Jaguar" shows on the Bluetooth paired devices screen), but the pairing won't complete through to connection. The dealer confirmed that other phones will pair with the Jaguar touch screens. The Jaguar touch screen reads "No BT Phone" and never connects. I noticed someone else had a similar post back in June 2008 but no one ever replied with an answer. It seems that I have the same issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi jeetenderbatra,
Welcome to the support community!
Are you able to sucessfully pair your BlackBerry Curve smartphone with any other Bluetooth enabled devices or other BlackBerry smartphones? If not, do you also see the same issue with the Bluetooth passkey disappearing during pairing?
I look forward to your response.

A bluetooth serial failure has occurred?

Hi,
After playing around for a while, I finally got my Nokia N82 to work as a modem on my MacBook Pro using scripts from http://www.taniwha.org.uk
But after 30mins online I was disconnected and now if I try to connect again I get the following dialogue:
A bluetooth serial failure has occurred.
Failed to open an RFCOMM serial channel. Check if authentication needs to be enabled in your device.
The only thing I understand about this is the authentication part. My phone is set to automatically allow all connections from my computer.
Any idea what is going on?
Any help is appreciated.

I'll take a shot. Who is your cell phone provider? Did you look at the modem scripts in /Library/Modem\ Scripts for Nokia one(s). There are some. Possibly generic that would work. To make this simple, since it is late, #1 here is system log of my Panther and LG phone using one of above mentioned scripts.#2 And the link is an older one about doing the same type connection and the problems with Verizon. But then I never had same error message you got. I searched on that error and it appears that rfcomm can loop and the way to fix that is to bind to more channels which I am not sure how, since the only thing to change , it appears is in bluetooth preferences. I would not touch that, yet. The problem on configs, I believe, is the property is propriotory(spelling?). Or the channel is in the phone settings. Anyway I would try a different modem script in the Library and also check out the other links in #2.
