Connect Bluetooth as Headphones instead of Headset by Default?

Does anyone know of a way to force Leopard to connect my bluetooth headphones as headphones instead of a headset by default? I have a pair of Sony DR-BT22 bluetooth headphones and Leopard picks up headphones and headset services from them. When I turn them on, Leopard asks if I want to use them, but it defaults to using them as a headset which doesn't support stereo sound. Is there a way to force it to use them as headphones by default? Now i have to disconnect from them an reconnect via the bluetooth menu.

I'm experiencing the same problem with my jbl bluetooth stereo headphones since upgrading to snow leopard or should i say DOWNGRADING. They worked just fine prior to the download. There is obviously a problem with bluetooth in snow leopard and i wonder how apple could have let this error slip through. Does anyone know if they will fix this or are we left with crappy mono sound and a pair of useless headphones. Personally I'm astounded that a company that prides itself on attention to detail and reliability missed this.

Connect Bluetooth with Samsung mobile phone headset?

I'm making a movie in Garageband and using the iMac internal speaker for recording my voice. I have a Samsung Bluetooth device I use with my mobile phone and I thought the sound would be better. I can't seem to get it to connect with my Mac. I have bluetooth sharing on, but when I go to the bluetooth set-up window, it doesn't recognize it. Am I doing something wrong, or is it incompatible?
Thanks for any help, I'm trying to avoid buying a new mic.

Have you tried pairing using the Bluetooth icon in the system tray?
Also make sure your Bluetooth drivers are up to date: http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/be/nl/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/lenovo-g...

ATV does not asupport bluetooth for audio or any type of wireless headsets.
If you want to connect the ATV to a receiver, connect it either via HDMI or Optical Audio.

have you tried toggling bluetooth off/on again? if so, try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If you still can't detect or pair with any compatible bluetooth device you should offer the device for service.
If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
Good luck

Is there an Auto connect bluetooth headset option?

Is there an Auto connect bluetooth headset option? I hate having to always choose to send a phone call to my hands-free device. What's the point of a Bluetooth headset if I have to use the phone every time to connect to it?

Keep it on or re-pair the devices and toggle the Auto-connect setting.

IPhone 4 bluetooth and headphones won't work.

When I connect to bluetooth or headphone jack. The music/sound plays through my iPhone speakers. I've tried with Bluetooth headsets and speakers. Also with an aux cord and headphones. It just started recently with the latest iOS 7.1.2 update. I will be downgrading my software to see if that works. Couldn't figure out what what going wrong.

Figured out that, with the update, the new pull up menu has a place to change where the sound plays through. It loaded it as default to the phone. All I had to do was change it. Whoops.

My Fall 2009 system DVI output to our HDTV doesn't include audio. Connecting the Macbook headphone output to the TV's RCA plugs works if TV is in AV (PC) mode, but no picture. DVI to HDMI adapter to TV works fine for picture, but no audio.

My Fall 2009 model Macbook Pro DVI output apparently doesn't include audion. Adapting DVI to HDMI works with new LG TV, but doesn't provide sound. Connecting the Macbook headphone output to the TV's RCA jacks give sound with the TV in AV (PC) mode, but no video. Is there a fix for this? Search for a DVI to HDMI adapter that includes a plug for the headphone jack comes up empty, so far.

DVI has never included audio, sorry.
There is also no DVI->HDMI adapter including a plug for audio; such thing cannot work without quite a bit of electronic extra effort.
Instead of much bla-bla, why don't you tell the exact TV model, and we'll try to come up with a solution?
BTW, no home theater AV receiver present, correct? Sound to come from the TV, correct?

Add a bluetooth pairing to a BTN200 headset

Hi,
The only way to connect to a new device is by first resetting the pairings by pushing the phone button and on-off buttn for 10 seconds.
This I have to doech time I switch the sending device. ( Samsung tab3, Acer smarphone, Taotronics transmitter)
What is the proper way to add a pairing while keeping the older ones?
How can I consult the existing pairings?
How can I select the proper device whn more than one device is sending bluetooth signals?
Thanks.

The headset can be paired with up to 8 devices. Make sure you do proper Bluetooth initialization (pages 41-42 of the manual). Bluetooth pairing only works one at a time and not at the same time.

By the looks of it they are not Bluetooth wireless headphones. You will have to plug the iPad into the base station's audio input jack.

This worked in the previous version of PC-Suite.
I have tried to re-install , clean out previous settings etc etc... I can workaround for now with my USB cable but any pointers as to what is worng would be most helpful.
Thank you all in advance.

I had the same problem as this on a Nokia E51.
The general solution to this problem for any phone.... from first principles...
1... Delete the Modem entry for the phone, in Phone and Modems,
       Control Panel.
2... Delete the RFCOMM Protocol TDI in Device Manager.
3... Delete the pairing for the phone in Nokia PC Suite.
4... Unpair the computer in your phone handset
5... Re-Pair the phone, and test its paired and connects
       in PC Suite.
6... Rescan for devices, Device Manager.
       This will reinstall the 'RFCOMM Protocol TDI' in Device Manager.
7... Check you are connecting to the correct access end-point for your network.
       You can...
            7.1... enter the correct network address in the PC Suite
                      'Connect to Internet settings', Access point box.
                       If you configure the connection manually,
                       there is a greater chance it will work, as opposed to auto.
                      OR
            7.2... enter the correct network address in the modem Properties,
                     Advanced, 'Extra initialisation commands' box.
Extra Initialisation commands for the UK Vodafone network would be
      +CGDCONT=,,"wap.vodafone.co.uk"
If you choose the 7.2 option you don't need PC Suite open to connect in future. You can simply find the connection in Start Menu, 'Connect to' menu. Either 'double-click', or 'right-click | connect' and you will be connected.
This network connection is normally created by PC Suite. If you play around with it and connections start failing, you could 'right-click | delete' and set it back up in PC Suite. to reinitialise it back to sensible settings - remebering to re-enter your network access end-point.
That should deal with any hosed connection, whatever the reported reason on connect.
Happy browsing :-)

My ipod touch 4th generation's audio jack is no longer making a connection with my headphones, i dont think my ipod is under warranty and therefor would i be able to pay apple to fix my ipod.

If not under warranty,
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

Problems Connecting Bluetooth

I Can't get my new i6 to connect with Bluetooth. Any suggestions.

The attempted connection is to a land line Panasonic home phone. The car
is a 2015 model. I did not restore the 6 from my old 4s. Does the name
have any relevance? Pardon my ignorance, but I am NOT a sophisticated
techie. It was very simple with the 4s. I turned on bluetooth, put it in
proximity to the other electronics, the phone identified them and I could
connect. With the 6, the phone won't identify any bluetooth device with which to
connect. In my simplistic mind that seems to point to a problem with the 6
or its software. I have noted that others report similar problems on the
internet in non-Apple forums. Do you have any suggestions?

The Bluetooth in the iPhone will not connect to another phone. What
year/make/model of car are you trying to connect to? Did you restore the iPhone
6 from a backup of the iPhone 4s? Does it have the same name as the iPhone
4s?
