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.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
No, the iPod and the Mac have different operating systems; iOS and OS X respectively. The apps must be developed for the Specific OS. When the same app is for both platforms, they are actually two different apps and if you want both, then you have to buy both separately from their respective app stores.

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.

Can you use a bluetooth headset with iPad 2? I.e. Plantronics Discovery 975.

I want to use Bria (softphone) as my "phone" on the iPad 2 and be able to answer calls from the bluetooth deivce. Ideally, I would want Bria to run in the background, my ipad on my desk or backpack and be able to answer calls. Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks,
Dan

No. You can use a wireless keyboard. A mouse would be pointless because there is no cursor.

Can you use any Bluetooth headset?

Topic. Or is it Just the Apple One?

I don't know if it works with EVERY BT headset, but no one hear has ever reported that they had a headset it did not work with. Among the ones that I know work (because others have posted their successes) include several Motorolas, 3 Jabras and the Jawbones.

Hi sausage,
Unless you can find out the Apple ID and password of the previous owner, there is nothing you can do to remove the previous user's information. Return it for a refund.

How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband?

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 share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac?

Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac? I don't mean both at the same time. I just think it's silly to buy a separate headset for each. I'd like to be able to sometimes use the headset with my Mac and other times use it with my iPhone. Is this possible? How hard is it to set up and is it annoying to switch over from one to the other.
The headset would be used 75% of the time with my iPhone.

Contacts can be synced direct with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 via the iTunes sync process along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If you don't use Outlook for contacts - your Outlook address book is empty, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the Outlook address book. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data.
Or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 6, you can create your hotmail account using the hotmail account preset with the iPhone's Mail app per the instructions included with this link. If your iPhone 4 is not running iOS 6, you will need to manually create the account as an Exchange account.
http://www.wikihow.com/Sync-a-Hotmail-Account-on-an-iPhone
Regardless if you have any contacts available in your hotmail online address book, you should be provided a merge prompt when turning contacts on for over the air syncing with your hotmail account settings on the iPhone, which you want to select. This will merge your existing iPhone contacts with your hotmail online address book and merge your hotmail online address book with your iPhone contacts.
To have the contacts available on the iPhone 5, create your hotmal account with the Mail.app on the iPhone 5 followed by turning contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
Or after syncing your iPhone 4 contacts direct with your Outlook address book, sync your Outlook contacts with the iPhone 5.

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.

Can I use a Bluetooth headphone/microphone for capture sound instead of normal iPhone mic when shooting video?

Can I use a Bluetooth headphone/microphone for capture sound instead of normal iPhone mic when shooting video?
The sound when I record video is not so good, so I'm trying to use the Bluetooth headphone/microphone to capture a person voice but not know which setting to use.

Why do I get this error when trying to use my bluetooth headset as a listening device? There was an error connecting to your audio device. Make sure it is turned on and in range. The audio portion of the program you were using may have to be restarted.

I may have already resolved this issue buy removing the device from my computer and re-pairing it. It is currently working just fine.

Can I connect multiple bluetooth headsets to my iPod at the same time?

Can I connect multiple bluetooth headsets to my iPod at the same time?

After 1 or 2 reboot system I managed was enter my MacBook Pro my AppleID and it is connected I managed so to have the flow of "Stream Photo" from my iPhone 4 S to my iPad 2 on the MacBook. But incomprehensible how the function "find my Mac" not recognize the MacBook Pro in "iCloud.com" or App in the iPhone 4 / iPad 2. Thus I do little "see the iMac, iPhone 4 and my iPad 2" and not the Macbook Pro !?!
I am sorry about my English quality but I'm not English speaking this text is translated by Microsoft Translator.

Can I use apple bluetooth keyboard with my samsung tv that does not have a built in bluetooth

To my knowledge, no. A Bluetooth device will connect to something that has appropriate BT hardware.
