Can't get MacBook Pro to recognize Motorola H500 Bluetooth headset

Hello all,
I am trying to get my MacBook Pro to recognize a Motorola H500 Bluetooth headset. Bluetooth is ON and "discoverable" on my mac. When I go to system preferences and click "bluetooth", then "devices", the headset won't show up (it is turned ON). I tried clicking "Set up new device..." and won't work either.
Any tips on how i can make this work?
Thanks a lot!

You need to put the H500 into discoverable mode:
turn it off
hold "call button" for 5 seconds or until the sold blue circle light appears
now go do the bluetooth set up on your Mac....your H500 will show up and then just click thru continue....

  • Can not get  MacBook Pro 10.7.2 connected to Panasonic LCD projector to work

    Any suggestions on how to get MacBook Pro 10.7.2 working with a LCD Panasonic Projector Model # PT-LB10NTU?

    Thanks for the replys.
    After spending an hour plus, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and still not able to print, my husband, sits down, plugs in an ethernet cable, reinstalls the printer with the ip, and it prints. !!! I'd already done that , but that was before I deleted the preferences and installed the Gutenprint driver. I think it was the new Gutenprint driver that did it.

  • How can I get MacBook Pro trackpad to recognize 4 finger tap as app switcher?

    On my Bluetooth trackpad I have it configured so that a 4 finger tap is the app switcher.
    I want to configure the trackpad on my new macBook Pro to do the same, so that when I am away from my desk and using only the laptop I can have a 4 finger tap be the gateway to an app switcher.
    Do I need to download some new capabilities to enable this 4 finger tap?
    The MBP trackpad does not seem to accept any 4 finger tap commands.

  • How do i get MacBook Pro to recognize an iRig as an input device?

    I have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina running Mavericks with the combo headphone-out/mic-in port.  I am trying to connect an iRig using this port to track guitar in Logic or GarageBand but when i plug in the iRig it is only seen by the computer as a headphone out (there is no line input or external mic detected). This same iRig works flawlessly on my iPhone so i know it is not broken.  Similarly, i plugged my iPhone earbuds-with-microphone into the port on the MacBook Pro and it recognizes both the headphones and external mic so the port seems to work ok.
    Any ideas????

    Make sure the power is off the irig and then plug it in.  
    took me a few tries, restarting the computer etc.  brand new Mavericks 13"
    Now it seems to recognize it on the computer as an input.
    Logic seems to be listening to it (when I jiggle the cable)
    but I still can't get a mic to work....
    I'll let you know...

  • Can't Get MacBook Pro and Mac Pro to Network

    I have a MacBook Pro (2008 - 2.5 Ghz. Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) that I have been connecting to my Mac Pro (2005 - 2 2.66 Ghz Xeon with 20 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) through an Ethernet switch on my school's network. This has worked without a hitch for years, but when I upgraded to 10.6.7 recently, the MacBook and Mac Pro fail to network. On the MacBook Pro, the Mac Pro's icon doesn't show in the shared area, and on the Mac Pro, I can see the icon for the MacBook Pro, but when I click on the icon to connect, I get the message that "Connection Failed There was an error connecting to the server (name of my MacBook Pro). Check the server name or IP address, and then try again." I have tried a direct connect using the "Connect to Server" under the Go menu on both machines, using their IP addresses, but no luck. Is there something I need to re-set to get these two to talk again? I have other Macs on the same network that my MacBook and my Mac Pro can see, and both machines can connect to them. They just can't connect to each other.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have on  how to fix this.

    I fixed the problem by re-setting the default values for my VirusBarrier X6 anti-virus program.

  • Can't get MacBook Pro to restart

    Last night I ran my battery down to recalibrate. The power drained, I let it sleep overnight, and this morning I plugged the MagSafe back in to recharge the battery. The light shows green instead of amber, as if the battery is fully charged. I left it plugged in for a little bit and then tried to restart the MacBook Pro and it won't do anything.
    Any suggestions as to what I can do to get back up and running?
    Thanks!

    Have you tried removing the battery all together and then tried restarting? Keep in the mind the processor will run and half-speed without the battery installed but hopefully you should be able to restart and use your Mac.
    Good luck.

  • How to get MacBook Pro to recognize full 1366x768 resolution of Plasma?

    When I hook up my MacBook Pro via DVI to my 1366 x 768 pixel Samsung plasma screen, the computer recognizes it as a Samsung PDP at 1024x768. The resulting image is stretched to fit the full 1366 horizontal pixels and thus ruins the aspect ratio. I know that I can switch the display mode on the Samsung to display 4x3 with black bars on the side, but what I really want is for the computer to take advantage of the full 1366x768. How do I do that?

    Check your documentation. Most Samsung 1366x768 monitors do not support the full native resolution in DVI mode unless using a specific card to drive them made by PixelPerfect Digital.
    I'm not entirely sure why that may be, but it does figure prominently in the product information on the Samsung product site.

  • Can't get Macbook Pro 2,1 to 64-bit mode

    I'm running a late 2006 macbook pro with an intel core 2 duo 2.33 mhz and I was wondering if there is anyone that knows if there's a way to get it to boot in 64-bit mode. Thanks.

    No 64 bit apps will run on the 32-bit kernel, but running 64-bit apps on the 64-bit kernel does not require start up to the 64-bit kernel. And, only some 32-bit apps will run on the 64-bit kernel.
    That's not quite correct.
    32-bit and 64-bit applications will run on either kernel.
    However 32-bit kernel extensions will only run on the 32-bit kernel, and 64-bit kernel extensions will only run on a 64-bit kernel.
    That's why Apple is currently defaulting to booting to the 32-bit kernel; most non-Apple kernel extensions have not yet been made available in 64-bit form for SL.

  • Can't get Mac Pro to recognize OWC Mercury Elite Al-Pro QX2 Raid on eSata

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a new OWC Mercury Elite Al-Pro QX2 Raid, set up as Raid 5, w 4 x 2TB Hitachi drives. I have been able to get it to mount on my Mac Pro via FireWire connection only, can't get it to mount via eSATA.
    Since the purpose is video editing, I need the eSATA connection to work.
    Any ideas on how to get the Mac Pro to see the eSATA?
    I've tried switching eSATA cables to one that has been verified to work, still no luck.
    Thanks!

    I have a new OWC Mercury Elite Al-Pro QX2 Raid, set up as Raid 5, w 4 x 2TB Hitachi drives. I have been able to get it to mount on my Mac Pro via FireWire connection only, can't get it to mount via eSATA.
    Dear Sunshine22,
    The QX2 uses an Oxford 936QS chip that can require up to 45 seconds to startup all of the hard disks and become ready to accept eSATA controller commands. Usually, the QX2 enclosure will beep when it is finally ready.
    The amount of time required to startup the enclosure can be longer than some eSATA drivers expect. There are two possible options you might try to get around this issue.
    1. Unplug the QX2 eSATA cable from the controller. Turn on the enclosure and wait 45 seconds or until the enclosure beeps indicating it is ready. Next, connect the eSATA cable and the enclosure should show up in Disk Utility within the next 20 - 30 seconds.
    OR
    2. Turn on the QX2 and wait for 45 seconds or until the enclosure beeps. Now restart the Mac Pro and the enclosure should mount on the desktop or show up in Disk Utility.
    Perhaps one of these methods will mount the QX2 for you.
    FirmTek has updated our eSATA drivers so that these work arounds are not usually necessary when an Oxford 936QS based enclosure is attached to a FirmTek PCIe controller.
    Good luck!

  • I can't get Macbook Pro DVD drive to read my Windows 7 upgrade disk.

    I have a 15" Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6.8.  I have been trying to upgrade the OS in my VMWare Virtual Machine from XP to Windows 7.  However, when I insert the upgrade disk, it just spins for a few minutes and then tells me the disk is a blank disk.  I  tried it with the drive tied to the VM XP OS, but that did not work and got the same result.  I then tried the disk in a PC I have and it seems to work fine there.  Also, I have tried other disks in my Mac drive (e.g. DVD movies) and they seem to work as well.  I am not quite sure where the problem is.  Any ideas?

  • Can't get Dlink DBT-122 to work with Bluetooth headset

    I have seen the various posts on trying to get an external usb bluetooth adapter to work with a mobile bluetooth headset e.g. Jabra bluetooth headset.

    Failed to setup the headset. Headsets are not supported on your Bluetooth hardware.
    When I try and use the bluetooth firmware updater i get the following error:

  • Can't get MacBook Pro to turn on.

    Hi, having some problems with my MacBook and could really use some help! Last night, I got the "system updates available" notification, so I downloaded and installed the updates. When it was finished, instead of restarting so the updates could take effect, I shut down and went to bed. Later, I got up in the middle of the night and noticed that the sleep indicator light was on (steady, not blinking) when I know for sure that I shut down. Didn't do anything about it right then. When I got up later in the morning, I tried to turn it on, and nothing. I looked in troubleshooting booklet that came with the computer and couldn't get anything fixed. I want to avoid having to completely wipe the HD clean, because I don't have hardly any of my files backed up (terrible, I know).
    Any help? or any tips on how I can at least back up my files? If I had that done, I wouldn't mind wiping it clean and re-installing everything. Thanks.

  • Can't get Macbook Pro to power on at all

    Hi, hope someone can help with this.
    Yesterday the comp was working fine, only thing I can think of is that the fans may have been running at the higher rpm for longer than usual.
    Shut it down properly, came back the next day and I'm getting no response from the power button.
    When connected to the mains there is a clicking noise from the top right of the machine, if you hold the button the clicking sounds like a car indicator, when "running" from the just the battery there is no sound.
    The battery will charge as normal.
    6 months ago the logic board was replaced due to the nvida issue then about a month after that the IO board failed. I replaced the IO board myself due to an "authorised" tech not being authorised and so ruining any warranty on the logic board. I've tried the old IO board and still no response.
    I've tried disconnecting the HD and holding the power button for 5 secs when not connected to anything with no luck.
    Anyone got any ideas or am I just extremely unlucky as every apple product seems to have a hardware fail with me!
    It's an A1226 early 08. Any ideas would be good, I'm really hoping it hasn't just suddenly become an expensive door stop.
    cheers
    colin

    After having another look at it again last night I think I was wrong in saying the click was coming from the right. It's coming from the left, think it's roughly where the mag connecter hits the io board. I'm still no further forward.
    The replacement logic board only had a warranty of 30 days!! Also as the folk I got to replace the board under warranty were no longer "apple authorised" despite claiming they were, they actually ruined any apple warranty I would have had anyway. This is what has forced me into having to try and fix it myself.
    I'm scared it is the logic board as the price of a new one completely puts me of trying that as a fix if this one has only lasted 6 months! Completely out of order that a serious top end machine has in just under 3 years had 2 failed logic boards, 1 failed power adapter and a failed io board.
