Connecting macbook air with bose wireless sound link?

Can someone tell me how to connect a previously paired macbook air to a bose wireless soundlink?  I can pair them, but they will not connect.

I had the same issue with my macbook air intel i5, latest os, and this is the way it worked for me:
1.- When you pair for the first time your macbook and your bose soundlink, your soundlink will appear in your Bluetooth menu at the left side list, but it is not conected yet... just recognized... so your soundlink doesnt make the tipical pairing sound...
2.- So the next step is to Set your Soundlink as Audio Device, in the same Bluetooth menu (below the devices list) just select the Soundlink so it becomes blue and then click on the mesh or gear icon and you,ll get a submenu, then just select Set as Audio Device, and done!
Please note that even at the time you do that your soundlink is not going to do the pairing sound, you need to start playing music or movies or games to get actually paired, and for some reason if you stop playing it for a few minutes it gets unpaired again and only start again if you play again music, movies or games... kind of anoying because then you will hear the pairing noise very often...
I hope this help somebody.

  • Connect MacBook Air with my iMac via Wifi

    How can I link my Mac Book air to my iMac, via WiFi, to transfer respectively synchronize data between both of them.
    Thx

    There are a few different ways of getting this accomplished.
    Method 1: Airdrop. If both computers are Airdrop capable, simply enter Airdrop on each computer, wait until they see each other and then connect and share.
    Method 2: WiFi Router. If both computers are on the same WiFi router network and file sharing is enabled on the computers, you can browse the contents of the source computer and copy/move to the target.
    Method 3: Ad Hoc. If no WiFi router is available, you can simply create a wireless ad hoc network on one of the computers and complete the transfers in that manner.
    There are probably a couple other methods out there, but those are the main 3 that come to mind.
    Cheers!

  • Problem connecting Macbook Pro with WRT160n wireless

    My roommate and I recently got WRT160n, and she has a PC and her connection was fine. But for my Macbook, whenever I try to connect to the network and put in my password (the one that I set up) it says that the password is incorrect. I'm not sure what the problem is. I tried configuring with the 192.168.1.1 thing, but that didn't help me much either (unless I was doing it wrong.) Help?

    Make sure that the wireless password is correct ....also disable all firewall on the MAC computer .... & check that you are able to connect the network or not ....
    If so then try to ping the DG ....

  • HT1941 trying to connect time  apsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port the airport utility doesn't detect it

    trying to connect time  capsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port but the airport utility doesn't detect it but when i put it in the LAN one it does but it doesn't let me configure
    any ideas?

    Isn't it fun trying to do things without an ethernet cable direct to the computer.. Apple sell a usb to ethernet adapter cable fairly cheap.. makes life a lot easier having something to do hard connections.. or as hard as usb can manage.
    Since you have to access the TC by wireless .. press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. don't worry about the ethernet cable.. leave it disconnected.
    Now click on the airport symbol and join another network. The TC should revert to its home name.. which will be a combo of Time Capsule and its MAC address. There is no wireless security and you can do the setup.

    Error message as above and below:

    BT won't deal with this - they redirect me to a 'partner' who want to charge to discuss the problem. Nice, eh!

  • Installation on a Macbook Air, with sounds on separate drive

    Is there a way to install Logic Studio on a Macbook Air so that all the sound libraries and the recordings (and as much of anything else as possible) are on an external HD drive? Space is tight.

    No, you got it. One USB port for Audio interface and the other for the streaming support files. I keep thinking of the 1st gen Macbook Airs with the one USB, sorry. The install is a very lengthy process made longer with the I/O limitations of the Air and USB 2.0 for the external support files. After you start the installer it will make sense with drop down menus for where and what get's copied.

    Macbook Air with OS X 10.8.2 not automatically connecting to known wifi network after sleep

    If you are using WEP as a security on your router that is why it won't connect. WEP is so old school and very insecure that Apple has made it so there WiFi cards won't connect to WEP. It might as well be wide open. You can try that. Take all security, WEP/WPA/WPA2, off your router and see if it connects.
    If it does then use either WPA or better WPA2.

    I can't help you with a direct answer.  For third-party devices you should contact the vendor (Vodafone). 
    If you have an iPhone (or an Android phone with hot-spot capability) you can use that to connect to the Internet without paying for a separate cellular service.
