Can my Mac act as a Bluetooth headset?

I would like to pair my iPhone to my Mac, so I can answer phone calls from my Mac without picking up the phone. Is that possible?
I have tried the pairing, but iPhone refuses to recognize MacBook Pro has a valid Bluetooth device.

The App Store reviews are all for older versions, and the iPhone 4 failure reports were from just two people. A third person reported no problems with using it with an iPhone 4. There were some audio problems in earlier versions that could make it look like it just didn't work. I exchanged some e-mails with the developer several weeks ago about intermittent audio, and he was very responsive. 1.2.20 doesn't appear to have any problems.
It works perfectly with my 3G, but I don't have an iPhone 4, so I can't tell you for certain that it works. But, if you go directly to the developer's web site that I linked earlier, you can download the application and try it free for 21 days. Then you can see for yourself if it works for your needs, rather than relying on just the App Store reviews.

Can someone please recommend a Plantronics bluetooth headset for SPA525G2

Can someone please recommend a Plantronics bluetooth headset for SPA525G2

Hi Juan,
He is a link to Plantronics website with a list of headsets they support with the SPA525G's.
http://www.plantronics.com/us/configurator/default.jsp?use=Deskphone&wl=&ec=&sl=&spn=&skb=&sds=
The Voyager Legend looks like that may be a good option. Plantronics supports this headset with Bluetooth and as long as you the right phone load with Bluetooth enabled, then you should not have any issues.
Hope this helps.

HT3563 can I connect more than one bluetooth headset to my imac?

Can I connecy more than one bluetooth headset to my imac?
Thanks

I have a Plantronics 975 earpiece that works very well with my Razr. I
just got a Panasonic KX-TG7873S phone system for my home, it has a
"Link-to-Cell" cellular convergence solution, from what I understand it is
just Bluetooth enabled. I have paired both device with my Razr. In
settings, Bluetooth setting, both device show. But only one device can
connect at a time. If my Plantronics is connected and I choose the
Panasonic device, the Plantronics device disconnects and the Panasonic
device then says it is connected. Both devices work when they
are connected. Is it because they are both "headsets"?
So, to have to remember to connect to one or the other device, depending on
weather I am coming or going is not practical.

Callers Can't Hear Me on Multiple Bluetooth Headsets

After getting tired of having my corded headphones ripped out of my ears when they get snagged on doorknobs I broke down and bought a wireless Bluetooth headphones (a Samsung Circle).
I was able to pair it with no issue.
I could hear music fine.
I could stream Sirius XM.
I could voice-to-text with no issue.
I could voice-to-text (email) with no issue.
I could voice-to-text (Facebook Messenger) with no issue.
I could talk to Siri with no issue.
However, when I was trying to talk on the phone, the person on the other side could NOT hear me, but I could hear them.
I dismissed this as a faulty headphones and returned it to Best Buy. I got a different one, a different brand and everything. Got the exact same result.
This is ridiculous. So I tried my Plantronics bluetooth headset which worked in the past. Now THAT ONE isn't working. I can hear callers, but they can't hear me. So that's three different Bluetooth headsets.
My earbuds work fine.
My speakerphone works fine.
The standard iPhone handset works fine.
The problem is isolated to Bluetooth headsets (single ear and double), while using the phone... people just can't hear me. I tried muting/unmuting and that didn't work either. I can click back and forth between the speaker and iPhone and they work fine, but I switch to the Bluetooth and nothing. No one can hear me.
I have an iPhone 5s running 8.1.3. I tried restarted, synching, deleting all the Bluetooth connections and rediscovering them ... nothing.

I've had this same problem for a while now. iPhone 5s on Verizon, and same issue with Blueant, Jabra, and Plantronics headsets.
Sometimes the people on the other end can hear me, most of the time not. I can always hear them.
I had the Blueant headset for a while and it worked fine. It was just a cheap one to keep me going until I got another one. Got the Jabra Supreme, it worked fine for a while but then started intermittently not transmitting my voice to the listener. I can hear them fine but they can't hear me. Thought it was the headset, so got the Plantronics Voyager Edge bluetooth headset but same issue. Can't figure out if it was concurrent with a system update or not that the problem manifested itself, but it wasn't apparent from the getgo, so it started sometime after I'd been using the phone with headset for a while.
I'm glad (but sorry) to read that your wiping the device didn't make a difference as I was just about to try that, but don't want to do so if it's not going to make a difference.
Just updated to 8.3 today, so hoping that maybe something will be different. Charging up all 3 headsets now in hopes that problem will be miraculously gone.
No one seems to have a clue as to why this is, what could be causing it, and what to do about it. Frustrating to say the least. I had a Plantronics with my cheap old flip phone and it was fantastic. I used it for business every day. Now I'm relegated to using the speaker phone on the iPhone until I can get this figured out.

Can I connect more than one bluetooth headset at a time?

Just got a Panasonic Bluetooth enabled phone, paired fine with the device. But each time I leave/come back to the house I have to set in settings which headset I want to use.

Can a Mac act as a 3G to wifi bridge?

If a MacBook Pro is connected to the internet using a 3G dongle, can internet sharing allow a wifi connection to an iPad? I'm still debating whether to get a Wifi only iPad.

Works like a charm, You set it up under sharing preferences. I have done this a number of times. This method also works for sharing a hard wired ethernet connection on the Mac via WiFi to the iPad. This is great for hotels, and also for people who do not have a wireless router at home, but have cable or DSL direct to their computer. I also have a few friends who have hardwired Macs and also B/G Routers. They are able to use the Mac Sharing to get N WiFi connectivity.

Can't activate Razr with Bluetooth Headset while in Standby

I can't activate my Razr with my Bluetooth headset if it is in the standby mode. To dial a number, I have to remove the phone from the case, push the power button and swipe the screen to wake it up. Only then I can push the button on my Bluetooth headset and dial the number. I had a Sprint Evo previously, and I could use the Bluetooth headset when the phone was in standby mode. This problem is dangerous when driving and pretty much negates the advantage of hands free operation.Blue Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I have problem with bluetooth headset.

My bluetooth headset does not work well.
and google and wiki.archlinux do not give me a good answer.
so I come here, ask you.
bluez gnome-bluetooth and other packages related to bluetooth are installed.
and gnome-bluetooth can find and connect to my bluetooth headset in mode A2DP.
but when I open music player Rhythmbox, the sound goes to loudspeaker, not bluetooth.
i find it need .asoundrc to play via bluetooth, and "aplay -D btheadset xxx.wav" works well.
Rhythmbox still can't use bluetooth. I think some plugin may do this, but I can't find it.
and more funny, "mplayer -ao alsa:device=btheadset xxx.mp3" makes system die. Is that command right?
Do i need install pulseaudio, if I want bluetooth headset is connected, and sound is switched automatically.

With the word 'automatically', yes you do need pulseaudio. I'm sure you could cook up some udev or related rule to do that in Alsa, but pulseaudio would be easier.

Is there any way for 2 bluetooth headsets to participate in a FaceTime call on the same device?

From what I can tell, one cannot use two Bluetooth headsets at the same time, using the built-in reciever. However, it seems as though one can transmit audio to 2 devices using the KOKKIA i10, but the deal breaker is: can one send audio using 2 headets? Is there some obscure version of the Kokkia that will reciever audio as well?

It sounds like you are using two independent libraries with a common media folder, whereas the plan would have been to ensure that both profiles were using the same library library database. Although you can place this within the Public folder I would normally create a shared library at the root of a drive, e.g. at X:\iTunes where X: is the drive that you want to use. See Make a split library portable for information on moving the library around back into a standard shape.
As for duplicates, Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

When archlinux finally will support bluetooth headsets?

Today after upgrading to the new bluez libs i hoped all evil problems with arch and bluetooth headsets should be gone over. But i was wrong.
I love arch but the only thing i can't set is my own bluetooth headset. It works perfectly on ubuntu following this guide -> http://gablog.eu/online/node/80
On arch i can't apply this guide because snd-bt-sco module doesn't exist (while sco does).
Then now, with new bluez, i noted that the gnome-bluetooth-icon doesn't appear any more.

damjan wrote:*YOU* *DONT* *NEED* snd-bt-sco
regulary not, that's right; but the problem is, otherwise it will *NOT* work;
and "File a bug report" would not solve anything, as long as i don't know, if it is even a bug;
the point is, that before this f***ing "bluez" think came, my bluetooth headset worked like a charm, but since then i'm trying maybe twice a year to get it work, unsuccessful till now.
maybe snd-bt-sco was never included in the mainline, but it worked without any complications.
and the documentation for bluez is as useful as the "File a bug report" quote.
reminds me kinda "pulse-audio", which is also an absolutely pain, if you're not on gnome/kde or ubuntu;
i've tried another time today and after 5 hours of work i'll put my bluetooth headset back into it's box and stay waiting;

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.

Can I use my Mac as a bluetooth headset?

I have a USB headset with a mic connected to the Mac I sit in front of most of the day for work. I'm wondering... can I use my Mac as a bluetooth headset when talking on the phone? If so, how do I set this up and how do I activate it when I want to use it?

No
