Disable bluetooth speaker

I have a bluetooth speaker connected to my iPad, but when I try to dictate a message the dictation will not work, Is there a way to just disable the bluetooth speaker so I don't have to go through the reconnect process?

@joeyman2 I can't  or rather I don't want to.  I am listening to a podcast or music and I need to send a quickie text message.  I don't want to have to go through turning things off, then turning it back on and having to wait for bluetooth to pair.

  • IMac G5 running OS 10.4.11. Started playing with a bluetooth speaker (may or may not be related). Now I cannot get past the blue screen on startup. I can get into safe mode. Tried install disc for disc utility and reloaded OS. Still get blue screen.

    I have an older iMac G5 running OS 10.4.11. The other day I started playing with a bluetooth speaker (may or may not be related). Now I cannot get past the blue screen on startup.
    I can get into safe mode. But no regular startup.
    I tried disabling bluetooth, thinking that might be related. It didn't help.
    I even tried using the install disc to run disc utility. That didn't work so I reloaded the OS.
    But I still get hung on the blue screen when trying a normal startup.
    All help would be appreciated.

    Try resetting the PMU/SMU and PRAM/NVRAM. You'd need to identify the mode of resetting depending on the model of your G5 iMac. The Apple support sites that would help you for this are –

  • ITunes keeps opening itself when I connect to my Bluetooth speaker

    Every time I connect my computer to my Bluetooth speaker, iTunes automatically opens itself. I can't figure out what causes this, but it's annoying and I would like for it to stop. Does anyone know what causes this? Thanks in advance

  • External bluetooth speaker volume to low

    Hello,
    I have an external bluetooth speaker from jawbone called jambox. From the start on I had the normal speaker volume like I also stil have it if I connected the bluetooth speaker with my iPod touch. But some day ago, the volume from my whole Mac (not just from iTunes) dropped through my Jawbone. It is not just about 40% of that, what I know of, that the Jawbone Jambox is able to bring.
    This problem exists through all audio / video programs on my Macbook Pro. So like in iTunes, also in VLC or MplayerX. Everywhere. The software sound of MacOS Lion is on maximum. Also the sound control of the jambox itself is reached. It seems like there is a protection against to high volume anywhere turned on which just do not allow me to turn up the volume beyond a specifc point of db.
    But, I can only repeat: The speaker is in a good shape. I am able to play music much more louder with my iPod paired. But just not with my macbook. I am looking for a "hidden" option to disable the maximum volume limitation of my Mac to the speaker.
    Would be happy if anyone know a solution for that issue...

    Same issue
    Works fine on my HTC thunderbolt, Even works fine on my brothers Mac (same year and OS build).
    My audio used to work fine through my bluetooth adapters but now the audio is way lower than it should be. This is a recent problem, it worked fine before. I believe an update may have cuased this, then again my brothers mac is working just fine even after the update. I even tried switching the bluetooth adapter and it still has the problem so I know its my Mac.
    Please fix this issue...
    Me and my brother Both have 2011 Macbook Pros, running 10.7.4 and the adapters are Blackberry adapters used to receive the audio from my mac and play through my home entertainment system via aux jack from the bluetooth adapter.

  • Bluetooth speaker will not pair

    My JBL Flip 2 Bluetooth speaker will no long pair or connect to my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, OS X Yosemite 10.10.3).
    I have tried:
    Following the instructions provided with the speaker
    Resetting my PRAM
    Restarting the computer
    Restarting the speaker
    Restarting Bluetooth
    Restarting the computer with Bluetooth disabled and re-enabling it
    Screaming at it
    Repairing disk permissions
    Removing the original pairing that was not connecting
    Now it will not even pair. Its not even being detected.
    My iPhone 5S detects it without issue. It was not working, then it was, now its not working again. I can airdrop between my Macbook and my iPhone without issue.
    Please, please help. Gah.

    Do you have the other device that it was paired with? Sometimes you have to un-pair a device before you can pair with another. For the iPad you do this by douching the button that say forget this device. Removing the battery from the speakers for a little while may also work.

  • Flash sound stops working after I pair my Macbook Pro with a Bluetooth speaker.  What's going on?

    I have a 2012 17 inch MBP, and regularly pair it with a Jambox bluetooth speaker for music.  After pairing it, sound frequently stops working in Flash - Youtube videos and the like.  Only restarting seems to do the trick.  What's disabling the sound, and is there a way to re-enable it without the hassle of restarting?

    After removing adware, and do a safe boot of Safari and remove extensions, then reset cache history etc. You need to do a boot into Recovery Mode and run Disk Repair from there. Also boot the system in Safe Mode.
    On startup it sounds like you have a problem with the directory which would also account for long startups and checking the directory. Along with or instead of DU Repair Disk you can use Single User Mode and fsck -fy to try to fix the directory but in some cases that may not be enough.
    Backups from before you got this adware and problems helps and should always be ready and able to restore a system from known good backups or system restore image.
    4GB of RAM may have been fine originally but "Early 2011" is now 5 years and 4 OS version changes. You can upgrade the memory and while at it consider a nice SSD internal drive which will help as well. Take a look and see what prices and options there are from http://www.macsales.com for your 2011 MacBook Pro.

  • Logitech bluetooth speaker adapter kaput since update

    Since the new Mac OS X 10.7.3 update, my Logitech Bluetooth speaker adapter has not functioned. When I choose to use it as my audio device, there is a very long pause and then I receive the message "A Bluetooth audio error occurred." (Normally, I wait through a short pause after which I hear a beep from my stereo speakers that tells me that the Logitech adapter is working.)
    This device has been working fine since I bought it two months ago. It hasn't worked since the update.
    I'm running a MacBook Pro (2.2GHx Intel Core 2 Duo w/ 4GB 667 RAM).
    Anyone else having this problem? I am not sure if this problem is directly related to the update. Just looking for info right now.

    Greetings everyone! I reinstalled Lion and paired my Logitech Bluetooth Headset at 10.7.2. But the system won't connect to it after updating to 10.7.3.
    Finally I made my bluetooth headset work again. Here's how I did it;
    1. In Preference>Bluetooth, remove my paired device. Reboot mac.
    2. Deleted the following two files in Library/Preferences/
    ---com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
    ---com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile
    (These files will be reconstructed by the system)
    The system will ask for your administration password. Reboot mac.
    3. In Preference>Bluetooth, pair my BT headset again and assign it to be the audio device. You may find the BT device not connected, then by playing a music or youtube video, connection should be established and sound is output.
    4. Reboot to make sure BT headset work steadily(leave the BT headset turned on). But I encountered kernel panic and forced restart (twice!) Upon the third restart, I logged in, and BT headset worked properly.
    The normal situation is, Mac automatically connects to BT headset few seconds after the headset is turned on. And I think we can just turn off BT deveice (whenever we don't need them) instead of disabling Bluetooth in Preference. Just leave the BT settings, so next time your Mac sees the BT device, it automatically connects to it.
    I hope the above information can be helpful. Any comments are welcomed!

  • Bluetooth Speaker adapter

    I've been trying to setup a bluetooth connection between my mac and bluetooth speaker adapter that is hooked up to my home stereo. The pairing is working and it shows up in my bluetooth settings, but it is showing that the bluetooth adapter is not connected. I have tried with multiple adapters and nothing. I thought I read somewhere that Leopard is the first OS that supports this type of pairing, and obviously I'm still running Tiger. Is this true? Any ideas? I'm getting frustrated trying to figure this out.

  • How to disable Bluetooth Auto-Connect

    Hello Everybody
    I have a JBL Micro-Wireless Bluetooth enabled speaker.
    My Laptop model is Lenovo Thinkpad X220 running Windows 7.
    My laptop has Broadcom Bluetooth stack.
    Now, the problem is, whenever i turn on the speaker, my laptop connects to it immediately.
    But, It just shows as connected with JBL Micro-Wireless in Bluetooth Device Control
    The Bluetooth Hands free audio in Available Playback Devices be kept disconnected and i won't be able to connect to it.
    I won't be able to also disconnect the Bluetooth speaker in Bluetooth Device Control.
    I found that, Either if i disable the Thinkpad Bluetooth 3.0 device in device manager and enable it back or Uptick and Tick Audo Sink service in JBL Micro-Wireless properties dialog box in Sound, i can connect to the speaker manually and it starts working
    just fine and i can disconnect the speaker also any number times.
    You can blame the Broadcom Bluetooth Drive Stack for this issue, but i have tried using the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack too.
    You can now blame my JBL Micro-Wireless speakers for this issue, but, i don't have any problems with any other audio source.
    So, you have to give solution to disable Auto-Connect for my Bluetooth Speaker from my Laptop.
    My Bluetooth speaker don't have any interface to disable auto-connect.
    I have tried stopping both the Bluetooth Services in Windows Services to disable Auto-Connection, but it didn't help. 

    Hi,
    Untill now, there is no effective method in Windows to disable Bluetooth device connect automaticlly. Here is another workaround method maybe helpful.
    That's using net stop/start service command to disable Bluetooth service.
    Firstly, you can access Services by typing services.msc
    command in RUN. Then choose Bluetooth service and change its startup type to
    Manual.
    Next time when you need using Bluetooth, just run net start bthserv in Command Prompt with administrator.
    The bluetooth should be work normally.
    When you didn't want to use it, just run net stop bthserv command to stop it.

  • Bluetooth Speaker sometimes missing in the output list

    Hi all !
    My computer runs on the latest version of Gnome Shell, with pulseaudio as the sound manager.
    I have a bluetooth speaker (Creative D100); I can pair it with my computer without any problem, but *sometimes* after having paired it successfully, the speaker doesn't appear in the list of the output device of the Pulseaudio panel. I need to either un-pair the speaker, restart Gnome-Shell, or sometimes even reboot my computer.
    It doesn't occur every day, but when it does, that's pretty annoying.
    I've searched on the net, but so far I could only find people who simply had a library missing or so, which doesn't seem to be my current problem =/
    Does this sound familiar to somebody ?

  • How can I simultaneously play music through Bluetooth and AirPlay to my Bluetooth speaker and Apple TV?

    Hello, I have recently purchased a new Bluetooth speaker and I would like to use it with my already working home audio system which I control with the airplay feature on my Apple TV. I tried to use the airplay function on my iPhone 4S and connect the 2 at the same time but It would only let me connect one. If there is an app that will allow me to connect the Bluetooth speaker and the Apple TV simultaneously thought my iPhone 4S or any other solution please feel free to let me know. Thanks...

    There is not one and it cannot be done at this time.

  • Can Apple TV simultaneously play music through my stereo (wired) and a bluetooth speaker in another room?

    I am looking at buying a bluetooth speaker that I could stream to from my Apple TV.  I also want to be able to play the same music through the stereo that my Apple TV is connected to. Can that be done simultaneously?
    Ay recommendations for a good quality bluetooth speaker?

  • How can I set up a bluetooth speaker with a mac mini?

    Hi
    I'm using a late 2012 Mac Mini processor, OS X 10.9.4 -- can't find any info on how to set up wireless Bluetooth speaker. 
    Would appreciate any help. Thanks

    OK, thank you for that information. On your Mac, go to the Apple logo at the very top left. Then go to System Preferences. Then go to the Blue bluetooth logo to open bluetooth settings. In the window that opens, you'll see a + in the bottom left. Just before you click this, press the pair button on your speaker. The Mac will now search for the speaker, which is now discoverable. When you see the speaker, double click it in the list. Once you are connected, go back to system preferences, this time opening up the sound settings. In the list of speakers, select your Bluetooth one. it will now be highlighted and all audio will go through it. To go back to your regular speakers, either turn off the Bluetooth speaker, or go back to the sound settings and highlight 'build in speakers'. *****

  • Why is my bluetooth speaker connected but sound only comes out of the computer speakers?

    My bluetooth speaker (JBL Charge 2) is shown as "connected in the blu tooth section of the task bar. I have also gone to system preferences and the speakers are also shown to be connected and chosen as the main speakers. However, no sound comes out of the bluetooth speaker but rather the sounds still comes out of the computer. speakers. I have tried connecting, reconnecting, and restarting computer. The bluetooth speaker is also shown as connected in bluetooth preferences. What is wrong?
