Insignia headphones connecting then disconnecting.

I am relatively new to Bluetooth and I wanted to use Bluetooth headphones with my Mac Mini. I bought the Insignia NS-BTHDP headphones/headset and it has successfully paired with the Mac Mini as indicated in the Bluetooth preference pael. When I first turn the headphones on the indication will change to "connected" but within a few seconds it changes back to "not connected" and the indicator lights on the headphone alternately flash blue and red indicating that it is in pairing mode. I tried disconnecting both the Bluetooth mouse and Bluetooth keyboard to see if it was a bandwidth problem but this did not help. In the Bluetooth preference panel I have selected to use the Insignia as headphones and not a headset. I am sitting less than 10 feet away when trying to get it to connect so it should not be a distance problem.
Any suggestions?
TIA

having same problem w/ a Southwing headset/headphones. just started recently. set will pair, connect, then disconnect. also does same thing w/ older motorola earpiece headset. both devices worked fine until one week ago. i've tried everything still can't get "connected" to hold.

When i plug the USB for my iPad into my computer it will connect then disconnect over and over again untill i wiggle the usb around alot. This is happening to all my ports. But not on the other computer.

Hi. Whenever i plug my iPad (Happens with ipod and iphone too) to my computer usb for itunes is will connect, then disconnect over and over again. It has happened for a long time but doesnt happen on my other computer. how do i fix this?

If you have a spare cable, try using that. But the fact that this doesn't happen on your other computer (I assume using the same old cable) leads me to conclude that something else is at work. Maybe even the "bad" computer.

IPhone 4s keep connecting then disconnecting with new MBA

Hi,
New MBA i5/4g/128 arrived this afternoon. During few hours of setting all my stuff, everything works just fine.
But when I try to connect my iPhone 4s with a official cable, it keeps connecting then disconnecting(about 2 times per second) and won't stop.
Is there anyone met the same issue? please help. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply
I've tried 2 cables at home. 1 is a offical cable and another one is a 3rd party cable, both of them didn't work, and both of them work perfectly with other PCs.
After read your reply, I decide to try another 3rd party cable at office, it worked.
No idea why, but maybe MBA choose cable more sensitively?
Anyway thanks a lot and have a nice day!

When charging phone it connects then disconnects over and over

for some reason tonight when i am charging my phone it keeps disconnecting. i haven't done anything to the phone today other than using it. itunes says to restore but the phone keeps connecting then disconnecting. what should i do? take it in to at&t? no apple store around me.

AT&T doesn't do repairs. Either need to take to Apple store or call 1-800-MY-IPHONE and choose for the "ship it in" option where they will send you a pre-paid return box to ship it in and send it back to you after.
However, issue could be your cable, or your computer just having issues as well. If you have access to another cable, I would try that, also with a reboot. I would also see if you can charge with the wall adaptor with your current cable, if you can, it may just be your computer is having an issue with it.

Ipod keeps connecting then disconnecting

I've tried everything possible to try to make my Ipod mini work. I can't connect it to the PC because it keeps connecting and disconnecting repeatedly. I can't restore it since I can't connect it. I've tried all the different USB ports and I've installed and uninstalled all the programs a few times. I've also reset it connected and disconnected. It has worked before but now it won't! This is driving me nuts

Similar problem here too plus when I do manage to get them to connect they will not charge.
Both my classic iPods work fine, in all my computers, and show that they are charging, but my family have 3 nanos, a 4th and two 5ths. Although they all connect to my PC and my laptop fine, none of these will connect correctly to my daughters PC no matter what USB port I put them in.
I have checked in device manager that the ports are powered (500ma) and nothing else is there to infringe on this supply. Still these items connect and disconnect constantly. Ironically every now and then, they will connect and allow me to look at the files etc in iTunes. I have at one point had two nanos and my classic connected to her computer and they all worked fine for about an hour, I thought that I had finally got rid of the problem but one by one the nanos started to play up again so this exacerbates the problem somewhat.
I also get various warnings when the Nanos are trying to connect like, software driver failure to install, it will work faster in a high speed USB port, nano needs formatted to work in windows plus a host of others. When I plug them back into my PC they connect fine, so that all adds to the confusion. If this was one nano I would suspect that it was faulty but it is three different ones.
I have done the 5 Rs, I have even gone as far as upgrading from XP to Windows 7, I have plugged the units into every USB port, I even bought a new PCI/USB card and tried that and still this problem persists.
I would like to hear from someone with any suggestions as to what is causing this and how to fix it.

Ipod keep connecting then disconnecting... What do I do?

I have a 4th generation Ipod nano. I tried to connect it to my computer to put new songs on it, but when I plugged it into the usb connector it went crazy. It goes from being connected to being disconnected, connected to disconnected... It continues untill I finally remove my Ipod. It never shows up on Itunes during the process either. What should I do?

Have you tried connecting it to a different USB port on your machine? Maybe attempt to restart the iPod (which will take it out of Disk Mode) by toggling the hold switch on and off a few times, then pressing and holding the Center and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
Maybe also attempt to use a seperate USB cable to sync the iPod with.
How long will it stay connected? Does it appear in "My Computer"? If it does (for a long enough period of time), maybe try reformatting it using the tools provided by windows.

If still no luck, also try plugging your iPod into a different computer if possible, to see if the problem lies with the iPod or computer. If you can get it hooked up to a second computer OK, I would recommend restoring it via iTunes.

Mini connects then disconnects from Windows Vista

I recently upgraded to Windows Vista Premium, and my 80gig iPod connects and syncs no problem to iTunes 7. I also have a 4gig mini that when I plug in the USB cable, Vista configures successfully and I can see the iPod as a drive and in device manager, and all is well until I open iTunes. As soon as I open iTunes, the mini shows up, but then Vista says it disconnects, then it reconnects, then disconnects, over and over. Has anyone else had this problem with Vista and their Mini??? Anything I should try??
4GB Mini Other OS

I left it plugged in over night and there is no change... I actually have 2 Mini's and the problem occurs with both, but not with the new 80GB iPod.

Ipod Connecting then Disconnecting 2 seconds later

Please help, my ipod is connecting to the computer, not showng in itunes and then disconnecting 2 seconds later, ive tried rrestarting and different usb ports and different wires but still no luck!
Please,

Have exactly the same problem with my wife's MacBook Air. After restaring in Restore mode and trying to repair the disk (Disk Utility showed errors in the verification), the system tells me to backup as much data as possible (how?), re-format the disk and restore backed-up files. Error comes up when "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required".
Original restart action was done due to software update requesting it, if I remember correctly, iTunes was updated.
I don't want to start a painful back-up procedure (although I do regular back-ups): how should I know, where iPhoto stores it's data or where my mails are (yes, still using local mail)? How can I access the data if I can't boot?
My iMac's disk crashed also a couple of months ago and I'm still recovering. I have four Apple devices, two of them have failed. Can Apple afford such a ratio?

Bluetooth connects then disconnects

Hello all. I have a nextel i880 phone that when purchased I was able to link it with bluetooth and it worked fine. So when I go to connect it, the connection is there then it disconnects. Im not sure if there is something going on with my software. My phone is fine. But this is really boggling my mind. Why does it connects and then disconnects. Thanks J.L.

TS1398 Wifi connects then disconnects

It is trying to connect to wifi then halts and reverts back to 3G. It was working yesterday, do not know why it stopped. Have 2 other iPhone 4 and IPod still working

Hi bobmyron,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the Mac will connect and disconnect from two different networks. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Share screen connects, then disconnects

I have a stumper. My screen share with my parents connects, then freezes and disconnects after 10 seconds of "innactivity"
I can see the screen, so it doesn't seem likely it's a firewall issue. Thoughts?

Hi,
Error 20 "No Data for 10 secs" is a message that iChat gives when the connection is lost other than iChat saying "Bye" properly.
The most common of these are things in the Router or modem software that is designed to stop Internet Attacks.
Denial Of Service (DoS) if you have it is threshold based.
When "Too much data comes Too Quickly" it cuts the one port that this happens on.
With modern Internet Speeds and the amount of Video Data iChat can send you can "bump" into this and it will cut the Chat and give you the 10 Secs Error message.
A related Filter for use of a better word is Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)
This tries to judge if the data is valid.
In Video chats it can get overwhelmed (in a simplistic view) but it cuts that one Data stream to the same Effect in iChat.
I had not heard of the last of these two being an issue for Screen Sharing but they both would be worth checking out and Disabling.
A reason for not even getting Error 20 (You get Error 8 instead) is if the port for the Screen Sharing part is not open.
A iChat Screen Sharing takes two ports - One for the Audio chat that goes with on port 16402 and a random port for the Screen Share itself.
If your Modem if it routes or you router is using UPnP to allow the ports iChat needs then there should be no problem
Port Forwarding the ports in the routing device can be an issue as the Screen Sharing port is random and not likely to be open.
I don't think from your description that this is the case for you but it would be helpful to exclude it.
Of course the issue may be on the other end and their Error log code would give clues.

IPod keeps connecting then disconnecting immediately... help?

So, I bought my iPod nano in April and it worked perfectly until about 1 month ago when my computer suddenly stopped recognizing it, and now whenever I try to connect it it disconnects after 1 second, then connects again, then disconnects etc etc....
I know this is a known issue cause as I've been trying to solve this for one month I've done some searching and seen plenty of other people having the same problem, but no one seems to have a resolution that works.
Basically my exact same problem is described in these 2 threads:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2240335&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1847791&start=0&tstart=2
I've done every thing suggested but no luck... I went back to the store as well and they didn't find anything wrong with it, so obviously it's my computer (I tried it at my mom's work as well and it worked there) but I don't know what's causing the problem. I don't wanna get my iPod replaced or buy a new one because it might just as well happen to that one too and then I'm stuck in the same boat again. Getting a new computer isn't really an option either. :/
So, any kind of help that hasn't been suggested already would be highly appreciated...
thanks in advance

Iphone 4 repeatedly connecting then disconnecting at random times.

Hi,
Well that is just it. I have tried all the normal solutions seen when Googling the problem, uninstalling this and reinstalling that... none of it works. I didnt drop it, I didnt spill liquid on it. No physical damage occured to the Iphone, or my computer or USB ports, I didnt update anything, and it was working fine a couple weeks ago (last time I synced). I plug it is via USB (yes, it is USB 2.0) and, sometimes after a few seconds, sometimes just long enough to ALMOST finish a sync, it disconnects. Then it reconnects, and it does this repeatedly. Sometimes it will stay connected until I click sync, then 'poof' it disconnects.
It did make it through a sync once but it didn't try to back up the Iphone, and it didnt add any songs.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I must point out that there is no other device I own that has ever shown connectivity problems on said computer and even now, even when charged to 100% I still cannot stay connected through a sync. I havent had any trouble with the phone since purchase about 3 months ago other than this connectivity issue (very recent) I have uninstalled and reinstalled all versions of Itunes compatible with the phone to see if there was a problem with an update. I have done this methodically and according to Apples instructions on how to uninstall / reinstall.
Now, for the restore suggestion. This may have worked, had it stayed connected long enough to make it through a back up / restore cycle. It didnt. Now, on the data breakdown that I see when the device is connected to Itunes, I get a nice red area of unknown data allocation. The connectivity is just like I was plugging it in and unplugging it repeatedly. Sometimes it will connect and disconnect 3-4 times in the space of 2 minutes. Sometimes it will make it through all steps of the sync, until the "finshing sync" part, and then at about 90%, it stops as it has suddenly disconnected itself.
Money well spent I'd say. As a first foray into the Apple world. I am truly impressed.
