Has anyone found a Bluetooth Headset that works with Skype?

I have been reading reviews and I can't find anyone who has found a Bluetooth headset that successfully works with Skype with Leopard...
anyone?

Hi there...
I have the Jabra BT125 and I have a new Mac Book Pro on it's way. The headset is actually something I already had for my cell phone. And now I'm hoping to use it for skype as well. What I think I lack is the Blue Tooth adapter. I was looking for one that I can power via USB rather than the ones you have to charge. I also have a logitech V320 optical mouse. Do you think the blue tooth adapter can run both the mouse and the headset as not to take up too many USB ports at the same time? (I envision my computer eventually resembling that guy from He11 Raiser! with all the pins sticking out of it) Anyway... Jabra says the BT125 supports Bluetooth version 2. I'm not sure if the mouse is similar or not... (I'm actually really new to all this lingo and I just assume the wireless capability of the mouse is bluetooth... The specs say it's a "microreceiver") Any comments, experiences or suggestions are really appreciated... thanks!!!

Does anyone have a bluetooth receiver that works with iPod Hi-Fi?

I'm hoping to make my iPod Hi-Fi Bluetooth compatable. I purchased one and it didn't work.
Any suggestions?

I wear hearing aids and use the iphone 5 to control them. it does not have a 30 pin but the newer smaller usb. So far I have not been able to find some kind of receiver that will transmit or input audio back into the iphone. There are guitar applications, but nothing for "line in" of mp3 shuffle type audio. my riding instructor has an fm unit and students simply wear earphones. Because of my hearing loss and the bulky "behind the ear" aids, I cannot do that. My phone plays its music and phone calls directly into my aids, much like phones do for "jawbone" type hands free. But I need an auxiliary input to feed my instructor's voice into my aids. Any suggestions, that won't cost an additional $100+?

Does anyone have an Android phone that works with the hands free on a 2015 Honda Civic EXL -Nav?

Does anyone have an Android phone that works with the hands free on a 2015 Honda Civic EXL -Nav? I don't care about the HondaLink- just the hands free phone call/receive.

My 5 starting doing this today....constant rebooting and or shutting off even after restoring to new phone. Would love some impu!!

HT204389 I am looking for a descent bluetooth headset that works well with siri... any suggestions?

I seem to not be able to find any bluetooth headset that really works will with siri... are there any?

The iPad does not print via Bluetooth, unless there's a third-party app somewhere that supports that (which I doubt, but I don't say anything is impossible). The iPad prints only via WiFi, and only to printers that support AirPrint or that are connected to a computer that does. If you look to the right under "more like this" you'll find other discussions on this same question, but none offer any really good solution that I have seen.

Bluetooth headset not working with 2008 Macbook!

Hello,
I just got a new Macbook and love it!
But, the other day I tried out my Bluetooth headset and the A2DP headphone choice works great.
But when I change it to headset for use with skype I can hear the person but all they hear is weird repeating static. I listened to myself with skype call testing service and it sounds bad. I looked in preferences of sound and most of the sound bars are purple and moving as if
i am yelling into the microphone. I know it is not the headset for it works with my cellphone and eMac.
Anything I do to the headset doesn't solve this or even brake the pattern in the purple bars.
I turned off the headset when it was showing these bars and they kept going.
It is not the headset. The Macbook is capable of receiving files through Bluetooth so it is not the input of Bluetooth that is the problem.
Also, when I first started the microphone of the headset it was clear then after a couple seconds it started to drown out my voice then it was gone, replaced by shhhhhhchhh.
My headset is a Plantronics 590E.
Thanks,
MIBM

Yes, thank you.
I was recently on Vacation and scheduled a Genius Bar visit and they tested my headset with another Macbook and same thing. I am very mad at Apple after finding this out. I had a feeling it was drivers or something but obviously could not test seeing as I only have one computer running Leopard, eMac runs Tiger. I actually have a third party bluetooth dongle working with my eMac. It is an Iogear dongle and on the box it says all features work with Mac and then I plugged it in and was unable to turn on/off and couldn't use headsets, then after hours of research I found a forum and downloaded a Broadcom driver and voila! it worked. That is also why I wasn't sure if it was a driver problem or hardware.
If anyone needs a tutorial and the driver for a broadcom bluetooth USB dongle I would be happy to help.
Thanks,
MIBM

Has anyone found the solution to email disappearing with Apple Mail?

Hello,
I have seen quite a number of postings about email disappearing with Apple's Mail client, regardless of what account they are using (yahoo, gmail, aol, etc.). What I have noticed is that email vanishes right in front of my eyes from the folders I have created to keep my email in order. Sometimes I move a message or several and I see them in the folder for a day or two, and then a few days later they are simply gone. This happens from the sent folder too. It is random. No, they are not in the trash, or junk, or anywhere else. Doing a full search turns nothing. They are really, really gone.
Sometimes, I go to a folder and I see how in a second one or several messages disappear from the list and that is it. Never to be found again. Not even if I visit the web-based account I can retrieve them. They are gone.
The worst part is when they disappear from my sent folder immediately after they leave the outbox, so I am not sure if it sent or not, and I have to retype the whole thing again just to make sure.
This is extremely annoying, and I have seen I am not the only one to which this happens. Has anyone found a fix for this bug? Should I simply keep all my email in my inbox? Or should I just give up on Apple Mail and use Thunderbird?
I have an old powerbook G4 with 10.4 and Mail 2. Not like it makes much difference, I've seen people complaining about the same issue in later versions of OS and Mail.
Thanks for any help
Annie

Bluetooth headset not working with flash files

Just got a Plantronics Voyager 510 bluetooth headset. Works just fine, except when viewing clips at YouTube. Not only is there no sound, the clip freezes after a few seconds. I believe they are Adobe Flash. Now this is on my new late 2007 MacBook with Leopard.
So I figure I'll try the headset on my Intel 1.66 Mac Mine with Tiger 10.4.10. Same thing
Any ideas.

Apparently Apple cheaped out on the Bluetooth support in the Tiger OS X (or an official profile wasn't even available)....something to do with not having Stereo Headset support.
It is possible to circumvent it: http://blog.david.connolly.name/2007/06/stereo-bluetooth-profile-a2dp-on-mac-os. html However, as indicated on the top of that topic - it is outdated (and IMO too much effort).
In a nutshell - you're being quietly coaxed in to buying Leopard OS X - which does have the Stereo Bluetooth profile installed.
What I don't get is why Apple can't release to us a nice little patch for Tiger to give us the full use of our Bluetooth hardwares.

Webcams that work with Skype 6.3

Can anywone tell me of a webcam that DOES work with Skype 6.3?
I would prefer a Logitec - I have the Logitec Quikcam Pro HD which it seems does NOT work with 6.3.
Thanks in anticipation

I definitely believe you, all mine are recognized and function. Due to "ground up" modifications to video, some compatibility was lost on versions 6.2 and above. If you want your camera to operate, you can either try release 6.5 that came out today or downgrade to 6.1. One of those should work.

Is there a Bluetooth printer that works with the new Ipad?

Does anyone know yet if there are any portable Bluetooth printers that will work with the Ipad?
I found this one. But I'm not sure if it's going to work. becuase it only has setup disks for PC and BB phone.

deggie is correct; BT only works with some headphones and keyboards. You'd have to invest in one of the 3rd party apps in the App Store to get your printing done.

How do I get my Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headset to work with the iPhone5?

My excellent Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headset worked fine with my 4S but I can't get it to even be recognized by my new iPhone5...does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Try resetting the sd10-hd . That solved my problem. I was able to pair with my iPhone 5.
Follow this link to instruction to reset the s10-hd, https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/ 59350/p/1422,2690,7709
Essentially hold down the + and 0 (power button) until the LED turns blue. Then power off the headset and power on. Put the iPhone in discoverable mode and they should now sync.

Unable to get Bluetooth Headset Profile working with mic on Toshiba BT Stac

Hi.
I am having problems using my Motorola HT-820 Stereo headset, with the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack installed on Vista Home Premium 32bit laptop.
I am unable to get the mic to function at all, so cannot use it for Skype / VOIP calls etc. Features such as the A2DP and AVRCP work fine, and I can listen to music via media player without issues.
I have read in a FAQ on this site, to make sure I use the Custom Setup option rather than Express Setup when adding the device, but it doesnt seem to make any difference, am I missing a step here?
In the Windows Recording device properties, I can see the option listed for Bluetooth Mic, but even setting it as the default device doesnt work.
I know from connecting my headset to my Desktop PC which uses the Widdcom bluetooth stack, that i can use the Headset/mic function, but this stack seems to work differently, as in I can select the headset option within the bluetooth settings, but I cannot see such an option withing the Toshiba stack - and i think this is where the problem is.
I have updated to the latest Toshiba stack from this web site, but this has not helped any.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Regards
Matt

Hello Matt
Unfortunately I can not help you with this but if I am remembering well here on BT section someone already asked something similar. Please take a little bit time and check BT section on this forum.
You can also visit FAQ section on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/
Maybe will find something there.
Good luck!

Has anyone got an iBook G3 to work with an iPhone hotspot?

hi! First question here, and its been a real headscratcher.
I have an iBook G3 with 128bits airport card (picking up and connecting to routers no problem)
I also have an iPhone 4 which I've used as a personal hotspot, providing internet to my Macbook pro for around year.
Now as you can imagine, I've discovered that although the G3 discovered my iPhone, when i enter the password and hit connect, i get a glorious error. It say it could not connect because of a problem with encryption.
After a lot of internet research, I discovered the old, original Airport card does not support WPA2 encryption, which annoyingly is the encryption my phone uses.
Ok, so options... 1 can i upgrade this card? 2 Can I download software (3rd party?) to get around this problem? 3 Can i tell my phone to use WEP encryption? 4 Can i use an external (usb?) Wifi adapter? Ive also seen the possibility of Bluetooth or USB tethering? 5 Would a Bluetooth adapter work?
Any advice or solutions/suggestions would be incredibly welcome. As i've discovered there are a lot of questions about this online but few working solutions.
iBook G3, 500Mhz, 256RAM, 10gb HDD

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Question: If you have a MacBook Pro, why are you wanting the iBook G3 (which is 11 years old at this point) to work with an iPhone hotspot?
Why not just use the MacBook Pro?
That said, the MAXPower device is available at Other World Computing, if you really want to try it:

And if you'd rather use a cradle instead of plugging it directly into a port:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/MXP2802NU2C/
To boost your speed a little, you may want to consider maximizing the RAM with a 512 MB module:

Good luck.

Has anyone managed to get Hotmail to work with Mail?

Hotmail aka Windows Live Mail.
Has anyone got Mail 3 in Leopard to work with Win Live/Hotmail?
If so, I would love to hear about how you did so, as I would like to use Mail to check e-mail. =)
Thanks.
