Connecting bluetooth device to mac

I have Sennheiser M450-X bluetooth headpones, a mac book pro running osx 10.8.2 and an iphone 4S running ios 6.1.3. I have paired my headphones with my mac fine and they work as expected. When my mac is turned off I have my headphones also paired with my iphone. The problem is when I have my headphones connected to my iphone then I want to listen to my mac, I dissconnect my headphones from my iphone then try to connect them to my mac. They don't connect with my mac, the only way I can get the headphones to connect to the mac is to delete the pairing on my mac and pair them again. Surely there must be an easier way. Please help.
I understand if this question would be better asked on the sennheiser website.

There seems to be no "connect" button on the bluetooth system preferences window on mac. Whereas on iphone you can tap the device name to connect.

Connect other bluetooth device to mac once magic mouse is connected

Hi all,
First of all, I would like to apologize if a thread already covers this issue.
I am planning on getting a Magic Mouse. I understand that it pairs with the mac via blue tooth. My question is, will I still be able to pair another blue tooth device (phone) to my mac once the magic mouse is already connected.
Has anyone tried this?
Thanks in advance!

You can pair up multiple bluetooth devices at the same time, such as the Magic Mouse and a cell phone, no problem. My mouse can get a bit jerky while I transfer files, but that's the only problem I've seen.

X230 Cannot connect bluetooth device

Hi All,
I know other people have posted similar issues but this one doens't match any other so I'll ask the community for help.
I have an X230 running WinXP, and I cannot find a way to add a Bluetooth device to the computer.
The latest bluetooth driver for XP is installed. The Bluetooth is enabled in the BIOS.
The Bluetooth icon is in the systray. It is Red.
All I can do is right click on it - it says "Bluetooth Device not found".
In My Computer, the My Bluetooth places icon doesn't do anything when I click it other than create a shortcut on my Desktop.
When I click the Desktop shortcut, it only runs a Bluetooth file transfer wizard sugessting Bluetooth is working.
I cannot find an add device bluetooth wizard anywhere. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Solved!

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that you are not able to use Bluetooth in your Lenovo ThinkPad X230.
Make sure that you have turned on the physical switch to turn on the Wireless connections.
Install hotkey drivers and turn on wireless connections using FN+F5.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

How can I get the battery level of a connected Bluetooth device on my iPhone 4S?

My Bluetooth device is the Merkury Hexagon Bluetooth speaker, I want to know how to get the its battery level, In the manual, it says there: "Speaker battery indicator will show right on your media device (iOS support only)
Additional details:
- I have the latest iOS
- Not jailbroken
- The speaker doesn't have a "battery indicator" on it

this is not a build in part of any bluetooth profiles so to get that feature one needs third party software from the maker of the bluetooth device installed on the device in question
so maybe you should look for apps made for mercury hexagon in app store?

MacAir can't connect Bluetooth Device successfully

My laptop OS is running Windows7 32bit in Bootcamp 4.0. I bought a Plantronics BackBeat GO2 bluetooth headset recently. This headset can be pairing with my laptop. However, it was can't install the necessary driver properly. And Windows has shown the error as following : "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)".
I tried download a bluetooth driver from Broadcom official web site but still doesn't work.

I think you need to contact either Microsoft or the headset manufacturer.
No Apple products are involved.

Is there any way to connect ThunderBolt device to Mac Pro?

Dear all,
I have a Mac Pro, and a Promise Pegasus R4 4TB (4x1TB) RAID System. But Mac Pro can not connect to Pegasus, since it does not have ThunderBolt interface. So is there any way I can do to connect them together?
Thanks in advance

Asus has released a card, but it's only compatible with some of their motherboards. I'd guess you'll probably upgrade your Mac Pro out of need before you see a compatible card on the market.

How can I connect multiple devices to Mac mini display port? I need to connect a Canon 5D to my Mac and display the result on a VGA video projector. I am using mini hdmi to mini display for the camera. Can I connect the VGA to any other port?

Hi there I am connecting a Canon 5D to my laptop trying to use it as a webcam trough camtwist.
At the same time I need to output the streaming to a videoprojector.
The cam is connected to the mini display port do there is no port available for the VGA cable anymore.
Do I need to use a different port for the projector? Should I buy a video card?
Can't connect the camera via USB as that is too slow and it will freeze.
Many thanks for all your help

Problems Connecting Apple Bluetooth Devices in Windows using BootCamp

People are having trouble connecting bluetooth devices in windows 7 while using bootcamp. I solved the problem by clicking on bluetooth>ADD A DEVICE once windows has detected the bluetooth device you want to add. Now, right click on the device you are adding (make sure it's "inside the add bluetooth
Device window "see below" ) it will say "select your device". Then tick the box beside "drivers for Keyboard, Mice etc.," under "Bluetooth Services" (see below) and it will search the internet for your drivers and automatically install them. If you have any problems post a message. Good Luck

Not sure if you can help me, but I can't add my phone or some bt speakers to my MBA2011 in bootcamp. Drivers can't be found...and this is usually a problem of the bt controller drivers, not the device.
It does seem the apple bt drivers are gimped in bootcamp.

Windows Vista - cannot use Bluetooth device TRENDNet TBW-102UB

Hello,
I'm facing a problem that occurs when try to connect Bluetooth device on Satellite A135-S4637 with Windows Vista Home Premium.
The Bluetooth device is a TrendNet TBW-102UB, and at XP it's working just fine.
The error message is "Bluetooth device is not ready".
After install new updates from manufacturer's website the problem still occurs.
Is there any service pack from Vista that fix that kind of problem or it is something relational to Toshiba's Bluetooth software?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hello
Please do not be mad on me but I do not understand relations to Toshiba notebook. Are you 100% sure that all USB ports on your notebook work properly?
If yes the whole thing has something to do with this external device, driver and settings. To be honest the manufacturer must offer Vista compatible software. Do you think so?

L775D-S7330 Need software to connect bluetooth.

I did a fresh reinstall of Windows. I need to be able to connect my bluetooth devices. I believe I have successfully installed the driver, but I need some utility that will let me manage my device connections for this laptop. I prefer to not use the Toshiba recovery software to do this.
thanks

Here’s how to connect Bluetooth devices in Win 7; however note this fact:
If you’re using Bluetooth software from a manufacturer other than Microsoft, Windows might not be able to detect your Bluetooth device and let you add it to your computer. This certainly the way my Qosmio works searching for the help, such as “Change settings for a Bluetooth enabled device” is not supported in Toshiba.

On the other hand, another computer I have with Win 7 OEM installed will support exactly as help states.

TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

Mac mini server has suddenly stopped seeing one or the other bluetooth devices! Batteries have been changed and they will connect to an older Mac mini. Server will now only see one or the other but not both.

My Mac mini server has suddenly stopped seeing one or the other bluetooth devices, either the wireless keyboard or the mouse( both apple products) have tried new batteries, at first it was the mouse that stopped responding, but upon rebooting the computer now the keyboard will not respond and the mouse works. Both work fine on an older Mac mini that I hooked back up to check.

There is absolutely no reason why they should not bothe be able to connect to your WiFi network. The easiest place to start would be to reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. I would also restart both the iPad and the iPhone.
