Iphone bluetooth headset stops bluetooth keyboard from connecting

has anyone else had a problem using an iphone bluetooth headset in close proximity to an bluetooth keyboard? If i wake up or boot up my macbook pro when my headset is switched on and close by, the keyboard will not connect to the mac! any ideas anyone please?

Hi.
I have found that having my WiFi on at the same time I try to pair with my Plantronics 925 prevents me from hooking up. If you have WiFi you may want to turn it off why you pair. Once paired you can then turn your WiFi back on with no problems.

  • Bluetooth keyboard & mouse connection less user friendly

    In Leopard I was able to power up my bluetooth keyboard and mouse and they would connect automatically. With Snow Leopard I have to power up, get out of my couch (I mostly use my TV as a monitor), go across the room, use the mousepad to click bluetooth icon, click mouse on pulldown menu, click connect and then the same for the keyboard.
    Seems like a small problem, but it actually results in having to do this process an annoying amount of times each day (I turn them off after each use to keep the amount of electromagnetic radiation in the room I spend the most part of every day to a minimum).
    Anyone know if I can get back the functionality of Leopard without uninstalling Snow Leopard? Anyone know why the automaticity of it has been removed/lost?
    (PS: pairing went flawlessly)

    I am experiencing exactly the same problem the the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard that I use with the Mac mini that is part of my entertainment system. It seems kind of silly to have to use a USB mouse to start up the Bluetooth mouse every time I want to use it. Also, I have found that it is very difficult to get the Bluetooth keyboard to connect, even though the mini shows it to exist and be paired and even though it has fresh batteries. Sometimes the only way that I can get the keyboard to connect is to delete it from the list of recognized devices and then pair it all over again. That goes smoothly, but obviously it is not the ideal way to do things!
    Before I installed Snow Leopard, these devices worked flawlessly!

  • How to keep bluetooth speakers from connecting

    How do I keep my bluetooth speakers from connecting automatically when I wake my iMac?

    I think i found the fix.
    Apple icon -> About this mac ->  more info -> System report -> bluetooth  ->  to see the all the bluetooth paired, configured devices
    Now with the alt key pressed, right click on the bluetooth icon on the top right corner -> the device -> remove
    This way it removes the device permanently

  • HT5293 how do I rename the bluetooth keyboard from a previous owner

    how do I rename the bluetooth keyboard from a previous owner many thanks in advance.

    System Preferences > Bluetooth. Turn Bluetooth Off. Under Devices listing, click once on the particular keyboard entry. Click the X to the right to remove it. Select Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Under Advanced, check all three buttons and click OK.
    Put freshly charged batteries in the Bluetooth keyboard you want to pair. If it has an on/off switch, turn it on, and then also renable Turn Bluetooth On in the above bluetooth preference pane, and it will scan for the Bluetooth keyboard, which you can now name as your own.

    How do I stop my mac from connecting to a non-secure network in my area instead of my preferred secure network

    Linc's answer is correct but I know it does not always work.
    If security is critical use a wired ethernet connection preferably with a fixed IP and the router's DHCP server turned off.

  • How do you stop the keyboard from covering what you are typing

    How do you stop the keyboard from covering up what you are typing- one of the worst features of the new iOS

    What kind of problems are you having with the iPad?
    If the keyboard is split and covering your text, Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
    If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
    You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.
    if none of those are the issue, reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • How can I stop my bluetooth keyboard from crashing my macbook pro???

    I have a bluetooth keyboard I use at my desk. Often, I'll pack my macbook pro and use it away from home. When I bring it back, what often happens as soon as I hit a key or two on the bluetooth keyboard, causing it to wake up and re-establish its connection with the macbook, is the macbook immediately freezes up and crashes.
    When it does this, a gray tint will make its way across the screen, starting from the top and working downward. Before it reaches about halfway (how far it gets seems to vary) it will freeze completely and I am forced to do a hard reset.
    Is this a known issue? Is there a known fix? It's been happening for a while now.

    Well, Charles, since no one else is taking a stab ... have ya checked your prefs in System Preferences > Hardware > Bluetooth > Advanced? "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" is enabled? Must be, already; nevermind ...
    Have you taken a peek at the output from running Applications > Utilities > Console.app > > LOG DATABASE QUERIES > Console messages? And, the ever-popular > LOG FILES > `/Library/Logs > CrashReporter? For you to have the Descending Grey Wall of Death ... the DGWoD is really creepy ( I have seen it, on the hoof, twice!), especially if it is repeatable (check the definition of insanity, as you say this has been going on for a while). Check your Console and see what is happening, and please post back: this will be so fixable! Aloha and have a great weekend!

  • Connecting my Bluetooth keyboard from Ps3 to Ipad2??

    Hi,
    I own an Ipad2 and just bought the official bluetooth keyboard for my PS3. Not the small one you connect on the controller, neither a large one. It is the special one made for the PS3.
    I am trying to connect it, but there is no way. Anybody tried it? Anybody can tell me to do?
    Thx
    Rocky

  • Iphone & Bluetooth Keyboard

    Just bought a Bluetooth Keyboard and I was wondering if I could use it with my Iphone.
    First I looked in previous discussions, where I read that Bluetooth Keyboard can´t be used with the Iphone. But they where wrong!
    The Bluetooth Keyboard works fine.
    I now use it for typing, so I can write my mails and reports easy when traveling without any laptop or Ipad.
    By the way, it also controls screen brigthness and play and stop music, volume, scan, etc.
    I write this because in forums no one says it can be done. Try it!
    Still haven´t found a way to place a call with the keyboard (the Send Button function) of course just for fun.
    Please post your comments.

  • I have an ipad and a bluetooth keyboard which was initially set up with a family member's account. Their account has been erased I am now using the ipad but cannot get the bluetooth keyboard to connect. no device is recognized. any suggestions????

    I have an Apple iPad Mini With Wi-Fi 16GB and a Rock Bluetooth keyboard that was previously used by my daughter. Her information was erased from the ipad and I have set it up as a new user under my account. All went well until I tried to set up the keyboard. When I go to Settings and turn on Bluetooth the ipad does not detect any device. I know they were paired and working when she was using them. Could it be because the ipad/keyboard were operating with her account and know won't connect to mine? We do not live in the same city so how would I clear the keyboard so that I could connect it to a 'new' ipad?

    Hi sugaliko,
    You may need to set up your BlueTooth connection to the keyboard again. Use the steps in this article for guidance -

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Not Connecting

    Hello,
      I have an iPad 3 (model MD340LL/A) given to me by my school and the standard Apple Bluetooth keyboard.  Last year, I used the keyboard with my iPad without a problem.  However, my school collected our iPads over summer and did a software reset on them and set them up with their own system (a few standard apple apps are disabled).  Since I got my iPad back, my keyboard will not connect to it.  The iPad is physically the same one I had last year, but the software was reset.  When I press the power button on the keyboard, the light turns green for around 3-4 seconds and then turns off.  It won't go into discoverable mode where the light starts flashing.  we have tried connecting it to my dad's MacBook, and it sometimes shows up while searching for a device, but any attempt to connect to it ends in a pairing unsuccessful message.  How can I get my keyboard to connect to my iPad?  The iPad is on iOS 7.1, and I know that none of my school's changes to the iPad should affect my keyboard, since they haven't changed from last year when they worked fine.
    Thanks,
      Nihar

    Change the battery in the keyboard.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • 3rd party bluetooth keyboard not connecting to Mac

    I have a 3rd party bluetooth keyboard that works fine on m iphone,
    When I try to connect it to my Mac, the keyboard is discoverable as "Bluetooth Keyboard" where it always fails at the pairing process.
    "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OSX and bluetoot software could be invalid or unsupported."
    The bluetooth on my Mac connects fine to my trackpad.
    Is there any reason why this shouldnt work on my Mac and is there any way to get it working?

    I had the same problem with my third party bluetooth keyboard. When pairing, I could enter the passphrase but then the RETURN button would not register to complete the pairing and it would give me the same error message. It seems to work if you pair the keyboard by going into System Preferences>Keyboard>Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard instead of using the Bluetooth Setup Assistant.

  • HT3887 My Bluetooth keyboard lost connectivity

    I lost connectivity to my keyboard after restarting my Mac.  I cannot type in my password. Any suggestions?

    You can substitute almost any wired USB keyboard (does not need to be an Apple board). So if you have one laying around, or if you can borrow one, you can use it to enable your Bluetooth keyboard again.

  • T43p -- bluetooth keyboard loses connection upon hibernation, reboot, or shutdown (not suspend)

    I have a T43p running WinXP that is primarily docked.  I just purchased a Dell Bluetooth keyboard and mouse (without a Dell bluetooth adapter).  The initial pairing went fine with the TP's built-in bluetooth.  However, if I restart the computer, the keyboard needs to be re-paired before it'll start working.  For whatever reason the mouse does not have this problem.  Moreover, the connection holds during suspend mode.  Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    It works fine with lxdm, so I guess this is a gdm specific problem. I'd prefer to use gdm though, if only because it supports suspend on lid close.
