Can you pair BT headset whit iPhone and iChat at same time?

Is it possible to wear the BT headset at your desk, use it for audio iChat and have it pick up phone calls?
Just curious how it decides which one to listen to if so.....

iPhone can only be 'connected' to one Bluetooth host at a time. So, you would need to 'disconnect' from one and 'connect' to another, to switch... You do not need to 'unpair' them...
Chas,
You are correct. I should have chosen my wording a little better. You can pair the Bluetooth headset with multiple devices (meaning the passkey has already been exchanged and the headset can be connected to that device in the future), but it can only be actively connected with one device at a time. Meaning, you cannot be using the headset for iChat on your computer, and also have it available to pick up phone calls with your iPhone. You would need to disconnect the headset from the computer and connect it to the iPhone in order to use it for phone calls.
The iPhone's auto-pairing feature does not automatically disconnect the iPhone from another connected device as found in this article:

  • Can I use Imassage on the Iphone and Macbook at same time?

    Thank you

    I don't know about iMassage () but you can use iMessage on multiple devices. I have mine set up on my iPhone, iPad and MBA. I can switch between them and all of the conversations are synced. You just have to be logged in with the same Apple ID.

  • Can't set up email on Iphone and Mac at same time with Outlook 2010

    I installed outlook 2010 on a Mac and set up the email account.  When I added the email account to my iphone my outlook stopped working.  Gave me the error "Trying to get mailbox lock from process".  I deleted my iphone account and my outlook email worked

    Hello afrost24,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your account may have been setup using POP, see the following article:
    iOS: 'Mailbox Locked', account is in use on another device, or prompt to re-enter POP3 password

  • Can you pass multiple files to Business Catalyst at the same time?

    I need to pass information from a client. The infromation is split into several files. I can not access the files to combine them to send as one document to BC. Can I send the two files over even though they do not full fill the necessity of all the user information. File 1 is the personal information and has no other details. When this fill crosses over BC accepts with no trouble. When the second file goes across the personal information is not there but the form details are and this file wipesout the DB. Going through debug when the first file executes I see the data on the BC side. When the second file executes the data is all gone. I cannot combine both files to create one document. Files do not have the same number of users so import of file with file helper would not work since it needs to meet certain requirements to process correctly everytime. By combining the two files would give a different number of tabs than what file helper is looking for and by that matter the data may not be in the correct order. Retrieving the data from the file also would not work since I would have to retrieve from both files at the same time and there would be issues if the user does not occur on both files.
    Please help.
    Thank you,
    Carlos

    To save time with videos that are not critical, can you capture one video to Premiere Pro at the same time you are authoring to Encore a previously captured video?
    The short answer is yes.
    I have just done that and I am happy to report that it worked like a charm.
    I captured from a DVCAM tape via firewire using PPro CS6 while authoring a Blu-ray disk in Encore CS6.
    No frames were lost during capture and my test blu-ray project was completed without a hitch.

  • HOW MANY DEVICES CAN YOU PAIR VIA BLUETOOTH TO IPHONE

    As the title states, how many? One, two, more? If so can they be used simultaneuosly? For example pairing it to my aftermarket car stereo for music streaming, while also pairing to the factory bluetooth for phone calls.

    I have a question specific to your Zomm..  I'm thinking of getting one for my husband, he has BT in the truck he uses with his iPhone 4, I've  read reviews about the zomm creating problems in the vehicle, phone can't be connected to zomm & vehicles BT hands free at the same time. So the zomm alarm goes off until the BT  is reconnected? What's your experiences with the zomm? Looks to be a handy gadget, but if it interferes with the trucks hands free I'm not sure he'd like it very much.
    Would love to hear your opinion on the iPhone, hands free bt in a vehicle, & zomm combination..

  • Can you listen to iTunes on two computers at the same time?

    If I've got iTunes playing on one computer, is it possible to listen on another computer on the same network what's playing on the first computer? I've often got two computers on the go over two floors and it would be smart if they were playing the same music at the same time. Thanks for your help.

    Hi Andy, if you want to listen through remote speakers connected to an AirPort Express you can choose the remote speakers (or computer) from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window
    However, to the best of my knowledge you can only listen to iTunes through one set of speakers at a time.

  • Can you use two bluetooth devices on iPad at the same time?

    Want to use the wireless keyboard along with the Jambox wireless speaker. Will the iPad allow you to connect to two Bluetooth devices at once?  Thanks!

    Seven is the Bluetooth max, but you should probably not do more than three or four and then depending on the BT protocols that each device is using.
    I use my Apple BT keyboard and my Cellular Innovations BT headphone clip at the same time without any issue whatsoever.

  • Can you use 2 sets of bluetooth headphones at the same time with the Ipad 4?

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I can use 2 sets of bluetooth headphones at the same time with the Ipad?
    It is so my children can watch a film or listen to music together.
    Thanks

    No

  • Do i use bonjour and ichat at same time

    ive just been through an ordeal of discovering after a year that to have certain secutrity functions etc my "macbook has to be online" to do this i needed to sort out ichat.
    this means dealing with bonjour.... do i need to have them both on at the same time or can i turn off bonjour now.

    Basterus
    Thank you for the reply with additional information.
    Since you are using Premiere Elements 13, then you are using the new Shake Stabilizer, not the Stabilizer seen in prior versions.
    I want to make sure of exactly what you are doing with regard to "overblending". This is my first impression....
    1. You have video on Video Track 1, and this video has applied to it Shake Stabilizer.
    2. You also have video on Video Track 2 directly above the video on Video Track 1, and this video has had applied to it Shake Stabilizer.
    3. Then you select video on Video Track 2 and adjust the Opacity and Blend Mode for this video.
    And, after the Opacity adjustments, the Shake Stabilizer effect is lost in the video on Video Track 2.
    Is that interpretation correct? If not, please explain further.
    Thank you.

  • Can you sync an unlocked verizon iphone and keep unlock

    hi guyz
    i just brought an unlocked verizon iphone 4s
    and i wanna know is it safe to sync iphone to my pc
    without losing my unlock? idk kno if itz factory or not
    but i dont have cydia.one thing that scares me tho is that, i know when i
    sync I'll lose all apps, and it came with an app called APN (unlockit.co.nz)
    which states when i open it:
                         iphone APN changer
    this website will set mobile carrier info for dat access when you cannot edit
    or do not kno settings.
    it dose not jailbreak or carrier unlock iphones
    click on the icon below to choose what you wish to do.
    i dont really know if i need this or not but itz another reason i been hesitant
    to sync my iphone. sorry for sounding like such a noob but i could use some
    help.
    Thanks

    ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it.
    If it was unlocked any other way, then it will likely lock after update.

  • HT3819 can you home share apps between iphones and ipads?

    just wondering if we're able to share apps in the house hold.  I have iphone 4, ios 5.1.  My husband has iphone 4, ios 4.3, (still hasn't upgraded to 5....lazy.)
    and we have an ipad2.
    I'm just learning about the home sharing thing.....any help is appreciated!

    Sounds like you got the answer you were looking for, but I wanted to add that when you have home sharing up on the computer and the home share account is activated, the home share account listed in iTunes has a little triangle to the right of the account name, and if you click that a submenu appears that lists the apps videos etc. on the other account you then can add those to your other devices/computers the same way you add songs, just drag them into your iTunes library listed at the top of the column. 
    I just wanted to add this to this thread since I found that it clears things up for other people searching for an answer.

  • How can I export photos from my Iphone and show the filming time

    I tried to export my photos from my iphone, but the times of them are created time and modified time, how can they show the filming time?

    I tried to export my photos from my iphone, but the times of them are created time and modified time, how can they show the filming time?
    How are you trying to view the times of the photos? On a Mac you cannot see the capture date of a photo in the or video in the Finder.  The Finder will always show the date the file was created or modified, and not when the photo has been taken. The capture date, when the iPhone took the photo will be encoded in the EXIF tags of the file, and that is different from the file creation. Photo software will show you the EXIF, the Info panel in iPhoto, or the Info panel in Preview.

  • How can you view what your cropping on FCE at the same time as cropping....

    I need to crop a clip however don't know how to work the 'sliders'. How can i preview what i am cropping as i am doing it?
    Many thanks,
    Ed

    Put the clip into the timeline. Put the playhead over the clip. Double click the clip in the timeline. In the Motion tab adjust the sliders. Or use the Crop tool in the Canvas with the View popup set to Image+Wireframe.

    The iphone and ipad must be connected to the same icloud account.  Are you by chance using different IDs to connect from each device?
