Bluetooth Settings Issue.

I have bluetooth installed in my car through the stereo system, which works wonderfully 99% of the time. If a call comes into my phone, the Radio/CD Player is automatically silenced, and the audio coming from my speakers switches to my phone bluetooth.
This is both good and bad. On the good side, it obviously let's me know immediately there is a call, and I don't have to do anything other than answer the phone to start the conversation.
The bad side is that ANY notification from my phone, be it Text Message, Email, whatever, does the same thing; it pauses(cd player) or mutes (radio) the audio, to "DING" at me that there is a notification.
What I like to do, is stream Pandora through my iPhone while I drive, and unfortunately since I have my work email (exchange) going to my phone, the "DING" notifications, are almost non-stop, and are constantly interrupting my Pandora/Radio/Etc Etc.
Is there a way to set the Bluetooth so it only overrides my stereo when a call is coming through? Maybe it can ignore texts and emails?
I can't disable notification on my E-Mail either, since work pays for my phone, it's vital for me to keep that on, but while I'm driving it's an absolute nuisance.
Any recommendations?

Any ideas?

Bluetooth buggy issues with iphone 5s after ios 8 upgrade

I am having issues with my Handsfreelink in my 2013 Honda Pilot after the ios 8 upgrade.Basically, music works the phone does not.
What I have tried:
1) Hard reset
2) deleted and re-setup all bluetooth settings on both phone and car
I suspect this is a bug in ios8 that needs to be addressed. On a sidenote I am also unable to plug my phone into the USB port on the car, now says unsupported.

The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback. I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6. However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically. I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car. Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device. So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it. YMMV

IPhone 4S Bluetooth reconnect issue

Hi All,
I recently bought an iPhone 4S and am having problems with Bluetooth.
I have two devices that I used on my iPhone 3GS (TomTom Car Kit and Philips ActionFit Bluetooth Stereo Sports Headset,) with which they worked perfectly. Now that I am using my iPhone 4S, I am having a problem the second time I attempt to use them.
The first time time I connect either of the devices, they work perfectly with the iPhone 4S. However, the second time I attempt to use them they will not connect automatically. If I go into the iPhone 4S Bluetooth settings and attempt to connect them manually (by clicking on the device) the iPhone 4S says that it cannot find the device. To connect the device, I first have to forget the device then go through the pairing process all over again.
Has anyone had the same issue? Any thought on what might be the problem or how to resolve it?
This is the second iPhone 4S I have had. I returned the first one due to a multitude of problems including this same Bluetooth issue, so I am assuming the problem is not unique to my device.
Thanks,
Noilly

I have been having the same exact problem since I bought my phone a year ago. I have tried 3 different devices with same result. Very frustrating!! I have not found anything that helps. Any information would be much appreciated.

TS1559 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim, can't change

This has happened to me very recently too. Is it a know hardware issue or do we need an update?
Follow this article: iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
If that fails to resolve the issue, follow this article: iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
If that fails, the device has a hardware fault.

MacBook won't wake up from sleep and Bluetooth Settings (Possible fix)

Hi,
I rest my SMC as per the instructions. I've done this a few times before and it my system sleeps one time correctly then glitches as previously noted. However, this time I did not use any Bluetooth device but I was connected to the internet via my wireless router. The computer has successfully entered 'sleep' and woke up several times without a glitch (white light flashing in front during sleep).
I the tried various Bluetooth settings starting with switching ALL the choices listed under the Bluetooth Advanced tab to off. I then switched on my Bluetooth mouse, used it for a while then I switched off the mouse (Microsoft Notebook Mouse 5000) and waited for the laptop to give the 'lost connection' notice. Once the notice disappeared I close the lid and the system entered sleep again (white light flashing in front) and woke without a hitch.
Next I restored the default Bluetooth Advanced tab settings including the ‘Allow Bluetooth device to wake system’, reconnected the Bluetooth mouse and used it for a while before closing the lid and placing the computer in sleep mode. I left the mouse on. Something very interesting happened…….the system properly entered sleep mode with the front white light flashing, I then intentionally moved the Bluetooth mouse and the system tried to wake with the lid closed. I saw the Apple logo light up briefly then shut off AND I also heard the Superdrive mechanism respond. The white light in the front of the system stopped flashing and just stayed on. The system would not wake. I had to hold the power button down till the white sleep indicator light shut off the boot the system back up. It is important to note that I DID NOT reset the SMC.
Once the system rebooted I made one change to the Bluetooth Advanced tab settings, Specifically, I switched off the ‘Allow Bluetooth device to wake system’. I used reconnected my Bluetooth mouse by turning it on. Used it for a while then closed the lid. The system entered sleep again (white light flashing in front) and woke without a hitch. The sleep mode works equally well now if I close the lid or select sleep from the menu.
I realize this may not help everyone but it has aleviated this problem, at least for the present on my system. I hope this helps some folks as well as the Apple techs.

Hi,
Just an update, it has now been one week since I modified my Bluetooth setting as per my post above. The computer is still going to sleep and waking without problems.

Plug in Manager released today doesn't fix print settings issue

The download page says it improves reliability in Aperture and other apps. But it didn't fix the print settings issue in Aperture. I sent feedback on the problem. Try to hit the print settings button after hitting command P. If you have Aperture 2 and the latest security update the settings won't come up. Look at the top of the list for the Plug In Manager update.

Hopefully an update fixes this. I have had this problem for a long time, tried many different fixes, no luck. Horizontal scrolling works in IE9 however.

Hidden Bluetooth settings in 10.9 for serial

The new OS 10.9 Maverick hides the Bluetooth settings, I am no longer able to add new serial ports for my Bluetooth devices in order to connect to them via the screen command (screen /dev/tty.Bluetooth...).
I'm interfacing my phone with my computer and need a serial port to communication, this needs to be set up in the Bluetooth settings. As of the new OS it has been dumbed-down so much that these settings do not exist anymore. Funny thing is when you search for "serial" in the system preferences window it will only highlight the Bluetooth settings:
Please give back these settings, I'm no longer able to work with my computer because of this.

I'm hoping the original poster has found some way to remedy this situation since this is an old topic. I do wonder how far you are all getting into the process, from what I can tell once you pair a device & connect to it you get new entries under /dev. One for a tty and one for a call up device (cu…). You may have others depending on the device capabilities.
ls /dev
/dev/cu.DeviceName-SerialPort
/dev/tty.DeviceName-SerialPort
Are they not the connections you are looking for? I'm not sure that you need to see the serial ports in the GUI to be able to use them via Terminal.
Please tell me what I'm missing.

Bluetooth settings for BT Arc Mouse lost on restart since upgrade

Upgraded OSX last night and on restart my Bluetooth BT Arc Touch mouse is not working.
I remove the mouse from the bluetooth settings and, resetting the mouse, it then finds the device and I pair the mouse again.
It works!
Then when I shutdown my MacBook Pro, next time I switch on the mouse does not work again. Its showing as "Not Connected" in the bluetooth settings.
Very, very frustrating.
Have downloaded latest Arc Touch mouse drivers but no fix.
Any ideas?

PS.
In menu bar, bluetooth icon states "Bluetooth: Not Available".
Bluetooth is switched on.
The mouse is blinking red and green which means "Device is discoverable (trying to connect to the transceiver)."

How do i u acsess my bluetooth settings thru my phone to change name etc. Also cant connect to any devices

How do i u acsess my bluetooth settings thru my phone to change name etc. Also cant connect to any devices

What devices are you trying to connect to, and are they in pairing mode? Is the phone in pairing mode? The iPhone only connects to audio devices and to computers for tethering. You cannot use BlueTooth on an iPhone for file transfers to other phones or computers.

TS3048 Keyboard won't link and screen is locked, I cant access Bluetooth settings

My keyboard won't link and screen is locked, I cant access Bluetooth settings. What do I do?

First make sure the batteries aren't dead and that the keyboard hasn't already been paired with another device. If it hasn't, the keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Otherwise see these support articles:
Mac mini (Mid 2011 and later) and iMac (Late 2012): Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
If you have a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, you may need a wired keyboard to complete the pairing process. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.

Bluetooth Mouse Issues

Anybody having bluetooth connectivity issues after devices are paired? Periodically, my mouse stops working and I have to turn it off and back on for it to reconnect. Mouse doesn't do this when paired with my old Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop.-bp

Hi All, I have been experiencing this random disconnect problem as well. Sometimes it came good and then sometimes I had to remove and reinstall the same as everyone else.
My problem is with a Logitech V470 mouse. <o:p></o:p>
Recently the symptoms changed and it became a permanent device instead of a bluetooth connected device. <o:p></o:p>
Furthermore, it couldn't be removed at all. The only way to remove it was to uninstall all of the Bluetooth module drivers. When the system rebooted,
it again loaded as a permanent device along with printers. Please note I'm talking about it being fully connected but not functioning whether it was turned on or off (present or not present). I wondered what had changed this time to make this significant
change in behaviour. Okay time to roll-back updates and go to a previous restore point/s. Guess what, problem solved! I had to go back two restore points to fix the problem. What was it, it was a JAVASCRIPT auto update!<o:p></o:p>
Once I past (rolled back) the most recent Javascript update the mouse returned to a bluetooth connected device and I could disconnect and reconnect. Javascript
changed the way this device was being recognised and connected.
JAVASCRIPT is underlying all of these problems of connection. Roll it back and suddenly you'll have control again! Hopefully Oracle will soon fix
this, until then, I'm disabling updates of JAVA.<o:p></o:p>

I have one problem and I think it is a settings issue. When I google the web I get results. Now, when I visit some website and I return to my search results I don't have any markers (diffrent link colour for visited sites in IE).

Question
I have one problem and I think it is a settings issue. When I google the web I get results. Now, I visited some website and then I want to return to my search results and pick another search result. And there is a problem: I don't have any markers (diffrent link colour for visited sites in IE) that would help me to distinguish visited and not visited sites.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

I am unable to access mail folders on my mac from my iPad: is this s settings issue?

I keep a selected number of incoming e-mails in subject specific folders on my Mac for future reference. I am able to access all incoming e-mails on both my Mac and my iPad but these mail folders only on my Mac. If this is a settings issue, can anyone advise me how to correct the issue?

If you are using a POP type email account, no, those folders would not transfer over. They only exist on your Mac.
If you are using an IMAP type account, it is still possible you created the folders locally on the Mac rather than on the server. You may need to recreate them and then move emails over to the new folders.

Portege R600-S4201 -- a new Bluetooth connectivity issue

R600-S4201
Windows XP - SP3
Nothing wierd on it.
This one kilo laptop has been wonderful for 1.5 years, though the "speaker" is inadequate. I just bought an excellent Yamaha Bluetooth stereo speaker, and paired it successfully.
HOWEVER, "pairing" doesn't last. After a few minutes, I can hear system sounds but not music or video.
I installed the K-Lite Codec Pack - no help. Various settings and driver configuration changes also make no difference.
Periodically I get an alert over the tray clock that says:
*AV automatic connection*
*Automatic connection failed*
Googling that, it appears to be a Toshiba+Bluetooth problem. That text string should point to a specific solution, but I haven't found it.
I assume there's a bad driver - can you help me locate and replace it?
Thanks!

Have you already checked if the *suitable default audio device* was selected:
*Control Panel > Sound, Speech, and Audio Devices >Sound and Audio Devices > Audio > Sound playback: Bluetooth Wave*
My NX-B02 Yamaha stereo speeker works fine (BTW an excellent speeker).
The used Bluetotoh stack version was 7.10.16 (download here: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/)
The setup was a breeze (set BT speeker pairable via long button press and right click the Bluetooth system tray icon and select Add New Connection).
The message "Automatic connection failed" appears only in my case if the Bluetooth speeker is off and the Bluetooth stack tries to connect it.
You can turn of the auto-connect function if you like as follows:
- Double click on the bluetooth system tray icon in order to open the Bluetooth Settings window.
- Right click on the yamaha icon > Details > uncheck "Automatic connection function will be validated.
If you just want to modify the connection settings then check the following settings:
- Right the Bluetooth system tray icon > Options...> Audio > AV Auto Connect Setting

Can we have them back??

Hi,
I am having the same problem, could you find a solution?
Do you know if there is way to do the same thing from terminal?
Since I am pretty new to this advanced configuration, do you think this software could be useful for our case:
