Cannot pair bluetooth headset

Is there a list of supported devices? I've attempt to pair a Jabra BT350 to my ipod touch after upgrading to 3.0. The headset can be paired with a mobile phone, but the ipod cannot seem to find it while searching.

I cannot find a way to delete this, but I've noticed a better thread at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2043868&tstart=0
so I am marking this as answered.
I did type "bluetooth" in the "search discussions" box. There were no results found (which did seem odd to me).

No audio on paired Bluetooth headsets

Since the ICS update months ago, I have had Bluetooth headset audio issues. Trying both my original headset and a brand new headset, I can pair successfully. But neither headset has any audio - I cannot hear anything and no one can hear me. I have tried both headsets with another phone and both work great.
I have done multiple hard resets. Nothing helps. Any suggestions?

I also have a Bluetooth OBD II device to read status from my cars. It works just fine on multiple vehicles. It pairs and gives real time data without issue. So it's not a Bluetooth general issue but specific to audio.

I anonymized the MAC of the Bluetooth headset because otherwise, somebody would probably yell at me for the security vulnerability. Because with that MAC, someone could uh ..... they could ...... uhm ...... well I anonymized it anyways.
So without further ado, here's what I do to try and get my bluetooth headset going:
[root@yvonne bluetooth]# lsmod | grep ^snd_bt_sco
snd_bt_sco 14028 0
[root@yvonne bluetooth]#
That ensures I've got the appropriate module loaded.
[root@yvonne bluetooth]# ps ax | fgrep "hcid

I've got HCID going, with DBus started first (read up about that on the forums)
[root@yvonne bluetooth]# rm /var/lib/bluetooth/00:08:2B:03:68:D2/linkkeys && touch /var/lib/bluetooth/00:11:1B:09:31:E5/linkkeys

Note that each time after I wipe out the keys from /var/lib/bluetooth, I'm putting the headset back into pairing mode by holding down its "phone" button.
So I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Something is going wrong during pairing, but what is it? dmesg isn't giving me any clues here either. Is the PIN not getting transmitted properly or something?[/code]

Ok, there's some strange things happening with bluetooth these days it seems. I had a lot of trouble setting up a connection to my phone, even after following avery bit of advice I found on the net.
But somehow I found a way, and now it works. I had to do some things not documented anywhere, excepte from some obscure places from 2003 etc.
The most significant problem I encountered was that my phone would never find my computer, even though I set pscan and iscan enabled.
Here's a line of code I found that fixed the problem for me. It could work for you too, since your problem looks exactly like the things I saw when the phone couldn't see my computer.
dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0
org.bluez.Adapter.SetMode string:discoverable
I write this after the bluetooth system has started.
Hope it helps

My T530 is not showing the paired Bluetooth headset in "Sound"

I just paired my Samsung HM1700 Bluetooth Headset to use it as headphone.
The pairing was successful, although I didn't need to enter the pairing code, mlaptop found it, and installed necessary drivers, also I see it in the Devices & Printers.
But when I went to "Sound" setting to set it for the headphone to listen under "Playback", I don't see it...
I hope someone can help me!
Thank you.

It sounds like you have a bad USB driver for the phone. That software is installed with iTunes. Like I said earlier, you need to make sure to uninstall everything using that support document. That clears out all Apple software. Do that without the phone attached to the computer of course. Once you have reinstalled everything, then try and connect it. It should load the USB driver and begin to work.
Let me ask you this. How many pictures do you have in the camera roll? If you have a large number of them and you have not imported them to the computer, there could be a corrupt picture causing you some problems. While that was known in the past to cause syncing problems, I thought that was fixed. If after you uninstalled iTunes the phone was recognized as a camera, I suggest importing the pictures and then deleting them from the camera roll and try the process all over with uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. See if that helps.

Cannot pair samsung headset !

Cannot pair samsung b.t headset. It gets discovered. But just hangs trying to pair ! Any thoughts ??

I'm having the same problem with my Samsung WEP-200 headset. The iPhone sees it, I select it, says it's paired, but the bt icon at the top never turns blue, and the phone doesn't recognize there's a bt headset attached.
I've tried all variations of reset with no results. The headset worked fine on my old Motorola v551 phone. Apple won't support non-Apple headsets and Samsung says it's Apple's problem.
Any suggestions?

Cannot pair Bluetooth with 2008 BMW - 'Uncaught exception: java.lang.Classcast Exception' message

I have been trying to pair my 8100 with my new 2008 model BMW 135i built in car kit using Bluetooth set up. The phone finds the car kit and the two appear to pair (confirmation numbers entered etc) but then the Smartphone screen freezes and the following error message appears 'Uncaught exception: java.lang.Classcast Exception'. The phone cannot then receive or make calls (won't even turn off until battery removed). Have been through the whole process several times. The car will pair with other phones and my 8100 will pair OK with other devices. Can anyone help?
Thanks, Paul.

I have got aorund the problem by disabling address book transfer. I can now receive calls and make outgoing calls by either dialling on the blackberry itself or using the BMW idrive controller. It is better than nothing and my main use anyway is for incoming calls while driving. The whole idea of the integrated system was to be able to scroll through the address book on the steering wheel buttons and view the address book entries on the satnav screen.
I have had similar problems in the past with an integrated system in a Porsche. The Blackberry never establised bluetooth contact with that system at all.

Brand new iMac cannot pair bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse

Hi there!
Just received brand new iMac 21" yesterday. Unboxed it, turned it on and none of both bluetooth devices (keyboard and magic mouse) managed to get paired.
I was able to connect a USB mouse to log into the Mac. Did all turn off/on Bluetooth, turn off/on iMac several times with no luck. Weird thing is that when I lift keyboard on a 30 degree angle above my desk it seems to actually pair with the iMac but then when back to original position it disconnects.
I've tried the magic mouse with my 2008 Macbook and works flawlessly. After several attempts never managed to pair magic mouse with iMac and as said earlier keyboard is not working on a standard position on my desk. It is frustrating to have paid close to 2,000$ for something that does not even work out of the box... Any ideas or suggestions?
I'm planning to take it today to nearest Apple Stores but have a bad feeling about "genius" folks being able to help me out. Would be worth changing iMac for new one?
Thanks a lot in advanced!

Thanks Barry! If SCM reset means the following:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
I've done that several times yesterday with no success. "SMC Reset" sounds quite fancy but then you google it and find that is a "simple" shut down and restart protocol... I tried "shutting down" by both selecting option via OS and also physically on the button behind screen.
I appreciate the help but unless I've done that "simple" protocol wrong it is not working.
Sorry for the frustration from my side. It just seems too much of a vague story when you hear Apple friends talking things about "the best OS", "best desktop",...and then you pay about $2,000 and find this yourself.
If anyone else interested I commit to keep this up to date with the feedback I'll get from "genius" folks today. Hopefully they'll prove themselves to live up to their position naming.

Cannot pair bluetooth with iPhone

Hi!
I am trying to pair my Macbook Pro (10.6.4) with my iPhone (3GS, iOS4.0.2) via bluetooth in order to get internet tethering to work.
When I initiate the pairing from the Macbook, the "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" finds my iPhone, attempts to pair and shows me in big numbers the code. On the iPhone, an alert pops up to confirm that "...woult like to pair with your iPhone" and to confirm the passkey is the right one.
I now press "Pair" on the iPhone, and a few seconds later an alert pops up, saying "Could not pair with ..."
I can pair different devices to my Macbook (keyboard, mouse,...) and also the iPhone pairs without problems with a company Dell laptop, just Apple with Apple seems not to work.
Rebooted both Mac and iPhone, no success. And, no, the iPhone is not jailbroken.
Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work? Thanks lot!!
Cheers,
Hendrik

Cannot pair bluetooth keyboard and mouse at the same time

I cannot seem to use my bluetooth keyboard (offbrand) and microsoft bluetooth mouse at the same time on Mountain Lion. Whenever I switch over to using the mouse, the keyboard stops working even though under the bluetooth menu it says it is still connected. I either have to switch off the mouse or turn off and on the keyboard to start typing again. I have tried resetting the PRAM but that didn't make a difference. I also updated the aluminum keyboard firmware update 1.1 and it doesn't seem to do anything either. I know it probably isn't interference because they both work flawless on the same machine in a windows bootcamp partition. Is there anyfix for this?

Sorry, but after doing some research, it appears you can only use one at a time.

Cannot pair bluetooth speaker with iPhone 6

My JBL Chrome worked perfectly with my iPhone 5. Now the iPhone 6 will not pair with the speaker, yet I'm able to pair the phone with my car (Infiniti Q50).The guy at the Apple store told me it likely is a bug in ios8. Is this true? Do I have to wait for several updates to restore former functionality. I'm disappointed.

I would try to reset the speaker. If you were able to pair it with the iPhone 5, and you activated the 6 from a backup of the 5, the speaker may be "confused" with a device of the same name. Also, the speaker may not be able to pair with more than one device and needs to be reset. Check the speaker's user guide to see how to reset the device and then put it into discovery/pairing mode again. Then attempt to pair with the phone.

N96 cannot pair bluetooth gps

Quite happy with phone I guess, but unable to pair with my otherwise faithful bt-gps device.
I have tried everything, factory defaults, reset etc... it just will not pair.
N96 discovers device, device asks for passcode, enter pass code... and pairing fails.
My non-nokia stuff pairs ok so feeling let down.
Any help?
GP.

Hi goodp
Although you rightly posted this in "N" Series devices in the first place, it has broader implications in that Nokia Maps is installed on a large number of devices and there is a specific section for "Navigation & GPS" issues.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

GN Netcom bluetooth headset

I have a GN Netcom 6210. I have tried pairing it but the Iphone doesn't seem to recognize it. I followed the instructions from the headset to try and pair it. Does the Iphone only work with a specific headset or is it compatible. Thanks

Hey tjones1,
The iPhone is compatible with other bluetooth headsets that support the HFP or HSP profiles.
Make sure your headset is in discoverable mode.
Page 39 of the iPhone user guide will walk you through pairing bluetooth headset.

If JAWBONE bluetooth headset cannot pair with my iphone

if Jawbone bluetooth headset cannot pair with my iphone but able to pair with another iphone, is that bluetooth issue with my iphone, thanks?

Possibly - but, are you certain you are properly putting the Jawbone in discoverable mode? You must do that to pair it with the iPhone. A Jawbone headset certainly can be paired with the iPhone. Have you tried pairing any other headset with the iPhone?

Cannot pair Sony MW1 smart bluetooth headset with Avantree Saturn (bluetooth dongle)

How can I pair my Sony MW1 smart bluetooth headset with Avantree Saturn (bluetooth dongle)? It kept showing "codes not matching", which means the wrong passkey codes auto-entered. But I can't enter any right codes the Avantree Saturn needed ("0000","1111",.....). Or where can I find the information to solve the problem? Thanks!

This should help
