I am having a problem connecting my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.8) to a bluetooth music streaming devise (Arcam r-blink)

Good evening all,
When i am trying to connent my MBP to an Arcam R-blink (a rather expensive music streaming receiver) i am getting a 'Bluetooth audio failed'.
The device is turned on and they are paired.  I just appears they don't like talking to each other.
Eventually after several fustrating attempts they will finally connect - mainly after i have unpaired then repaired.
Anyone else had this problem? Can it be fixed?
Thanks,

Here are a couple of User Tip Articles that may help you:

On a personal note, I would seriously consider reinstalling Snow Leopard 10.6.  It still is the most stable and efficient Mac OS.
Ciao.

  • Problem connecting my macbook pro to a wired internet connection via ethernet cable adapter

    I am having a problem connecting my macbook to a wired internet connection in an area in my workplace where there is no wifi.  The macbook works fine on the same internet connection via wifi in other parts but when I add it as a wired connection it doesn't show any connection.  I have turned off wifi to make sure that it is not trying to pick up a poor connection but I still can't get this to work.  I think I am trying to set up the connection properly but can't be completely sure.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Open System Preferences>Network and make sure Ethernet is selected. If it is, open Advanced Settings (at the bottom of the Network window). Click on the TCP/IP tab. Configure IPv4 should be set to "Using  DHCP".
    Configure IPv6 should be set to "Automatically". When those are set click the "Renew DHCP Lease" button

  • I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro running on OS 10.8.2 to a Linksys EA3500 router and when I go to click on the set up icon I get an "unsupported operating system". Any suggestions on what to do? The Linksys site is useless.

    Don't use the CD software its not necessary.
    Infact put it in the trash.
    Your router will have an IP address in the range 192.168.1.1
    Connect your router to your Mac via Ethernet cable (They usually supply one with the router and don't worry which end goes where the Mac LAN socket is bi-directional)
    Also connect your router to your telephone line.
    Now open your Web browser Safari . Type in the IP address above and a Javascript control panel will launch
    Enter the default password and username (They are on a label on the router )
    Your now have the ability to set up your router.
    Your will need the password and user name supplied to you by your ISP at a minimum.
    Enter these and most modern routers automatically configure the basic networking setting.
    You now need to go to the security setting and set this as WPA2 Personal (NOT Enterprise) or WPA2 with AES and TKIP which ever it refers to and create a pass-phase. WRITE it down
    You should be online.
    Now remove the cable and connect to the Wifi and enter that passphase.

  • Problems connecting my MacBook Pro to an external monitor

    For the past 2 years, I have regularly connected my MacBook Pro to an external monitor (Dell SR2320L) using a VGA cable. When I do so, the picture  automatically comes up in the maximum resolution of the external monitor (1920 x 1080). However, just in the past few weeks, the picture on my external monitor automatically comes up in 1600 x 1200 instead.  When I click on the display menu in the upper right corner of my screen, there isn't even an option for 1920 x 1080 anymore.  I've tried restarting my computer and even unplugging and replugging in the cable, but nothing seems to fix the problem. However, on at least some occasions, the problem seems to fix itself after about a day or so of use, and the picture reverts back to 1920 x 1080. I should note a couple of things: when I connect another MacBook to my monitor, the display automatically comes up in 1920 x 1080. And when I connect my Macbook to a different display, I have the same problem as I have with my display. So I think the issue is definitely with my computer, not my monitor. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to solve this problem? Or, when the problem arises, is there anything I can do to reset the display to 1920 x 1080 other than waiting for the problem to fix itself? Any suggestions woudl be greatly appreciated!

    Hi bonfig,
    If you are having issues with the external display settings on your MacBook Pro, it may be worth going throught the following article, in particular the portion about resetting the SMC and PRAM:

  • Problems connecting my macbook pro to my samsung led Tv

    Hi. I try to present some pictures and videos by connecting my macbook pro to my samsung led Tv but my mac doesn't recognize the Tv (or it could be that my TV doesn't recognize the mac). What should I do?

    I have problems too with some projectors and the DVI--VGA adapter that came with my MBP. The projector is recognized by the computer, but does not show any signal.
    With the help of Stéphane Madrau, who has written the excellent tool SwitchResX, I found out that the projector reports that it takes digital input when I connect the MacBook Pro, but analog when I connect it to my 12" PBG4. From the DDC information (collected with SwitchResX):
    MacBook Pro, DVI--VGA:
    Input signal & sync:
    Digital
    PBG4, miniDVI--VGA:
    Input signal & sync:
    Analog input with: 0.700V / 0.300V
    Separate Sync
    Composite Sync
    Given that the VGA cable is analog only, I would think that the MBP tries (or rather, does) output digital signals only, which don't make it into the VGA cable. If I find a solution I will post it here.
    The clue was that the computer did not report any vertical scan frequencies for the external display, while it did so for a projector that worked.

  • Problems connecting 2009 macbook pro to samsung plasma tv(pn50b450b1d)

    So I am using a macbook pro running osx 10.6.8 and I am having trouble connecting it to my tv. I have tested the cord on other tvs and it works fine. but when I connect to my tv my mbp screen flashes blue once then goes back to the desktop. If I am already plugged in to my tv and change to the source I am plugged into the mbp screen will flash blue twice before going back to the desktop. The tv screen has a moving box that says "no signal". When I am in the "displays" section on my mbp I dont have a "arrangement" tab and when try clicking "gather windows" or "detect displays" nothing changes. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Problems connecting my  MacBook Pro to a video projector

    I have a MacBook Pro. I have used it many times to connect to a video projector and give presentations in my classroom. Lately, it is hit or miss concerning whether the laptop will give a signal to the computer. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have followed the instructions in the MacBook guide.(Start with projector and laptop off, connect, turn on, etc. )
    I am using the DVI to VGA adapter. I have also tried to use the function keys and manually tried to get it to detect displays. Can't think of what to do next. I gave up and hooked up a Windows computer and it worked.
    Could it be the adapter? Does anyone have any ideas I can try? Thanks!

  • I am having trouble receiving email on Macbook Pro running lion.  No problem with cloud mail, but other accounts do not receive mail.

    Trying to set up email on MacBook Pro running Lion (10.7.4), I can send messages, but receive only messages sent to my cloud address.  Two other email accounts do not receive messages at all.  Passwords, etc are correct.  Anyone else have this problem?

    I am assuming you are using the mail app.  You may have turned off recieving mail function.  Open up mail.  HIt Command comma to open preferences.  Go into general and set it like this.

  • Can't connect to Macbook Pro running ML shares from Windows 7 Pro computers

    On my Macbook Pro I can see all the network shares on the windows machines and connect to them. On my Windows 7 Pro computers I can see the Mac but when I try to connect to it asks for a username and pawword. No username/password combo works. On the windows machines I can ping the Macbook's ip but when I try pinging the Macbook's name it returns 127.0.0.1. None of the windows machines have entires in the hosts file other than the ones commented out which is the factory default.
    When I ping machinename.local on the mac it returns the correct ip address so I'm pretty sure the Mac is working fine. I also went into the wins setting and put in the machinename and correct workgroup on the mac. The issue seems to be on the windows machines thinking the mac's dns name is localhost. Resetting the u-verse router didn't work. Turning file sharing off and on on the mac didn't solve the problem either.
    I was at one point able to connect to the mac shares from my windows machines but it just stopped working several days ago for no apparent reason.

    Try changing the encryption, also make sure the computer is fully updated. Windows Xp computers do not all have native WPA2 capability. Try disabling security and see if that works. If it does not, it may be an interfernce problem on one computer. Try changing the wireless channel to 3 or 9

  • Airport Extreme can't connect to MacBook Pro running Windows XP

    I have a new Airport Extreme Base Station and an intel MacBook pro that is 6 months old and dual boot. The AEBS is set up with WPA2 and AEs. All works well for both MacOS (Leopard) and WindowsXP in wired mode and wireless works fine for the Mac side. When i run Windows, i can see the wireless network but i can't seem to configure it to actually connect to the network. I set it to WPA-PSK/AES, but it never can connect, and when i go back to check the settings in zeroconfig (the Windows connection manager) the connection is always reset to "WEP". Any suggestions? BTWQ, we can't connect my son's laptop (Windows XP ) either.

  • I am having airport problems on my macbook pro

    When I go online me screens partly load and then stop and then no other pages will load, and i have taken my macbook in for other internet issues which they tell me have been fixed. any help would be great!!

    It has (mostly) nothing to do with the router settings.
    If you have the same problem on other places too, you might try the following if you run Lion (OS X 10.7.x).
    Switch off wifi on the machine.
    Then delete the below mentioned (bold) files. On Lion, the Library is hidden. You have to use "go to" -> "Go to folder" on finder to access them.
    You will find the files on your system drive (not your home folder) as follow:
    /library/preferences/com.apple.preferences.accounts.plist
    /library/preferences/com.apple.preferences.sharing.plist
    /library/preferences/SstemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    /library/preferences/SstemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    If there are files in this folders with the same name but additional .orig at the end, delete them too.
    If done, go to Disk Utility (Applications - Utilitys) and perform a "permissions repair" on the system disk. You can safely ignore upcoming warnings during that process. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448
    When the run is finnished, reboot the Mac.
    Join your wireless again.

  • Why is netflix having display problems on my macbook pro... HDCP compliance?

    Watching Netflix and all of a sudden it says "Display Problems"  Make sure your monitor is HDCP Compliant and is not setup for mirror airplay??

    The issue is from Safari defaulting to HTML5 vs using Silverlight like it did in Mavericks.
    So the options are, if you want to use Safari goto your Netflix account, playback preferences and turn off HTML5. This will revert to Silverlight and will AirPlay fine*in Safari.
    If you want to use HTML5, just leave the setting for HTML5 on in Netflix and use Chrome, Firefox, etc.
    You can't currently have both Safari and HTML5 Netflix when using AirPlay. You'd think Safari would be a little bit more powerful with Apples stances on browser extensions.

  • So sick of having Java problems on my Macbook Pro

    I have problems with Java with every single browser on my mac. I have tried 6 different browsers and I cannot run any Java applications on any of the browsers. Every single time I open RuneScape or Minecraft, there is just a black screen. I can't even re-install Java since it is only available through software update...
    Does anyone know a possible fix for this?

    Although I don't play games, I went to both websites and had absolutely no problem with either; in fact, the Runescape started all by itself. So, there must be some sort of problem with your system - my first suggestion would be to repair permissions (Disk Utility in Applications -> Utilities). Restart.
    If that doesn't do it, I would do this next: go to the Apple download page and download the combo updater and install that again. After the install, make sure you repair Permissions and restart.

  • Why is it impossible to connect a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.5 to a Panasonic projector using VGA adapter?

    A few of us tried for 45 minutes to connect a BMP to a Panasonic PT-F200NT projector.
    Please help.
    Display options didn't work.
    Computer search on the projector remote didn't work.
    The button to automatically find connected devices didn't work.
    Changing the VGA connection didn't work.
    Turning off the projector, then turning on again with the cable and VGA adapter plugged into the computer didn't work.
    Selecting computer 1 or computer 2 didn't work.
    Pressing F7 or fn+F7 didn't work, neither did and other combination of fn+F#, or alt+F#.
    Unpluggin and pluggin in again didn't work.
    What does work?
    Why is it that when conncting to projectors all Windows machines work perfectly, without any trouble every time, but Mac machines always cause trouble.
    Why is it that Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8.5) makes it harder than previous OSs?
    If you have any suggestions that would be great, thanks.

    Thank you.
    Other advice I've had is to keep unpluggin it and plugging it in again (thunderbolt adapter).
    I'm nowhere better than I was before.
    I guess it's just as you say (how I'm interpretting what you say):
    The Thunderbolt adapters are just poorly made.
    It works 50 % of the time, maybe they have random number generators in them centred on 1, and they only work if the random number is 1.
