Bose bluetooth headphones pairing issue

I have an iPhone 5 32Gb and an iPad 3 32Gb.  I had both running iOS 7.1 and my Bose Bluetooth headphones worked exactly as they should.  One of the great features of these is that they can pair to the iPhone and iPad at the same time, meaning that I can watch a video on my iPad and when the iPhone rings, it rings through the headphones and pauses the video. 
Since upgrading both devices to iOS 7.1.1, I can only pair to one of them at a time.  Let's say that I am paired to my iPad, but now want to use my headphones to listen to music on my iPhone.  I now have to go into Bluetooth on my iPhone, have it forget the Bose headphones and then repair.  If I want to go back to my iPad, I have to go through the same process for the headphones to work on that device. 
Has anyone else come across this issue?  From briefly looking at this forum, Apple seems to have made a mess of Bluetooth in this iOS release.  Any ideas on a fix? 

I actually did both iPhone and iPad tethered to iTunes. I favour doing this instead of OTA.  The iPhone was a replacement from Apple and immediately updated through iTunes to iOS 7.1.1. 
@Peter Gillespie, are you using an iPhone and iPad with your AE2?

  • Bluetooth headphones playback issues with iOS 6

    Has anyone been experiencing some playback issues with the latest iOS 6 and Bluetooth headphones?
    A few weeks ago, I bought a pair of Sony's MDR-1RBT Bluetooth headphones and ever since I updated my iOS devices (4S & iPad 2), playback of tracks has been lagging for the first few seconds. Whenever I choose a song on my iPhone or iPad's player, I just can't hear its first 3~10 seconds. I've contacted Sony about this issue and they bluntly replied that it's Apple's issue, but when I contacted Apple, they referred me to their Bluetooth connectivity site. In other words, my problem still hasn't been solved.
    Could anyone help me solve this frustrating issue?
    Thanks.

  • Bose bluetooth headphones jumping on music

    i have just bought a pair of Bose sound link bluetooth headphones for use with iphone 6 but they have an annoying habit of jumping during songs, maybe once twice or more during one song maybe not at all. It only hapens with music player and not on utube, Amazon instant or on any other Bluetooth device including when I turn Bluetooth of on phone and plug a Bluetooth transmiter in and play music through that. It's doing my head in, Bose can't explain it. Help me please someone.

  • Difficulty with iPad Mini and Moto sd10-hd Bluetooth headphone pairing.

    My Bluetooth headphones work fine with my iPhone 4. However, my new iPad mini can't find them in discovery mode (iPhone was shut down at the time to prevent conflict). Contacted Motorola, who said that any device which uses Bluetooth profile A2DP 1.2, AVCRP 1.0, or HFP 1.5 should work. They said the problem must be on the iPad end since they work fine with the phone. I'm no Bluetooth guru. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks.

  • IPad no longer pairing with Bose bluetooth headphones

    I have a iPad  with iOS 8.2. Suddenly I am not able to connect to my headphones. I rebooted the iPad but still no luck. I am able to connect the headphones to my Blackberry so do not think problem is with headphones. Will appreciate any help.

    Make sure that the headphones are put into "Discovery Mode" before trying to connect. Check the user guide for the headphones.

  • Bluetooth keyboard pairing issues

    HI, recently my wireless keyboard got disconnected to my IMac and now I can't pair it. I have read various posts on the subject and tried many remedies including battery change, holding power button whilst entering code multiple times, removing com.applebluetoothexchange file and restart and none have worked. i am only being asked to enter a 6 digit code however and lots of the posts refer to an 8 digit code.
    any thoughts, help, advice or counselling would be warmly received.
    matt

    Which Apple wireless keyboard are you using?
    See this Apple doc -> iOS: Apple Wireless Keyboard compatibility
    The original Apple Wireless Keyboard, introduced in 2003, is not compatible:
    Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003): Features a white case and uses four AA batteries.
    If you're using a compatible keyboard, does it pair with your Mac? Try turning it off and then back on and then pairing it again.

  • Jabra Bluetooth Headphones pairing problem

    I wrote jabra about my problem with my headset sounding like crapola when paired to macs, but sounding grand when paired to iPhone, and got this back from tech support:
    Sounds like your unit it's not pairing correctly with the macs (like it's pairing HSP/HFP only). We cannot troubleshoot the PC's and it sounds like there's nothing wrong with the BT3030.
    I have no idea what that means or how to fix. Any ideas? thx!

    I bought a new jabra halo stereo headset... But it is not discovered by Apple I-touch ... but it is discovered by HTC Incredible S and my Lenova G460...

  • Bluetooth headphones: Bose AE2w failed to pair

    Hi! I'm a ower of a bluetooth headphones / headset, Bose AE2w. I can not pair with the headphones.
    I'm using blueman-manager to pair. The headphones are detected but not connected. The message is: "Device Added successfuly, but failed to connect". Then, the only error that I can see is: "Connection Failed: DBusFailedError: No such file or directory..."
    I do not know how to pair the headphones / headset.

    I had a very similar issue. If your system uses pulse audio for sound, I may have a clue to the problem.
    Read my previous post. I think it may be relevant to you:
    Hi,
    Some time ago, my Bluetooth headset used to work fine with my Arch install consisting of gnome-de , pulseaudio and blueman. But around 16 May it stopped working properly. The connection would get established with the headset and then immediately disconnect. I didn't try too hard to diagnose the issue.
    Today, when I read the news about Pulseaudio split , I suspected my issues might have been due to this.
    When I checked my installed packages, it did not have the pulseaudio-bluetoth package installed. Installing the package and restarting magically solved my problem.
    Thought I'll share this so others with similar situation might be helped.
    Cheers
    Please let me know if it works or not.

  • HT204387 BOSE Bluetooth wireless headphones work with iPhone but not iMac - Profile issue I assume - but why not!!!!

    I have a great pair of BOSE wirless headphones that connect faultlessy to my iPhone.  I'm very dissappointed however to find that I cannot use the same headphonse on my iMac or my MacBook Air.  I assume it's a bluetooth profile issue but in product utility terms it makes no sense.  Is anyone aware of a way of circumventing this resytiction (e.g. third-party product, mac setting,...etc)?

    Yes. This has to be the 8.xx iOS.
    I have experienced this since purchasing the 6+. Now, I attempting to pair the phone to Sync in my Ford F150, it
    can't find the phone. I go through any number of attempts: rebooting the phone, finding a bluetooth device on Sync, etc.
    Most of the time it shows a "cannot find bluetooth device". Or the Sync shows a pairing number to type in the phone in order
    to pair, but the iPhone doesn't see Sync, so nothing can be done.
    Sometimes, and I mean only sometime, the device is paired by itself. (On sync, "choose input: usb or bluetooth" and trying this
    several times, Lo and Behold.....wait for it......the iPhone 6+ connects!
    This is not what I had, an iPhone 4S, that one pairing, and always paired. (truck off, crank and instantly paired). The old days!
    I have check Ford to look for an update. I have the latest from 2012. The final one for my truck model year.
    This version of iOS needs works and must be updated again.
    I don't know who to contact at Apple but the mods here don't say how to do that.  It another Apple waiting and see.
    If I find a solution, I will post it immediately. I hope you will post as well. Thanks for reading.

  • Has anyone found bluetooth headphones that successfully pair with Apple Watch (not Beats)

    I've been trying to pair the Apple Watch with a few different bluetooth headphones including LG and Kinivo without success. Not really interested in buying another set of bluetooth headphones or dropping $200 on them. Any one have success pairing Apple Watch with any bluetooth device?

    I have the Jaybird Bluebuds X and while I did get them to pair with the Watch, it required me to tell my iPhone 6 to forget the device. Normally I have it paired in Bluetooth settings to both my iPad Mini and iPhone, and while it attempt to pair with the last paired device, just going into Bluetooth Settings  and tapping connect will switch device.
    But apparently that won't work with the Watch - as I said I had to tell the iPhone to forget this device first.
    But what annoyed me even more was after getting it to pair with the Watch, when I attempted to play music using the Glances music app, the music played through the iPhone speaker. Sort of understand this as I don't have any music synced to my Watch and generally have the Bluebuds paired directly to the iPhone.
    Not sure if I did something wrong - might get around to playing around with it again.

  • Need help pairing Jarv Nmotion BTHL-201 bluetooth headphones

    Hello...
    I just received my Jarv Nmotion BTHL-201 bluetooth headphones and my iPhone 4s (I have not done the most recent IOS update) and the phone is not finding the  bluetooth headphones.
    I followed the directions -  completely charged the headphones and then tried to pair.  My phone just keeps searching but never finds the headphones.
    Any suggestions? ( I have tried it several times. Turned the phone off completely, then powered it back and tried again - all to no avail).
    Thanks.
    - Jill

    Never mind!!  Pilot error. Came to my senses - it works!  Great set of headphones

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.
