Jaybird headphones and Macbook Pro Retina bluetooth connectivity issues

I recently purchased the Jaybird Bluebuds X Premium headphones and for awhile it would connect to my new Macbook Pro Retina 15'' via bluetooth, but now it doesn't anymore. The headphones connect just fine to my phone (iPhone 4S), and other Macbook Pros (not retina), but they do not connect to other Macbook Pro Retinas. I was wondering if this was a connectivity issue with Macbook Pro Retinas and if so how can I get around it to connect the headphones again?
Thanks

Hey there LongHorn16,
It sounds like your Bluetooth headphones aren't working with this one computer, but there is no issue with other devices that you have. I would start with these 2 steps from the following article:
Restart your computer
Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.
Reset your Bluetooth device
Try turning your device off and then on again. If that doesn't resolve the issue, see if you can reset your device—refer to the documentation that came with your device for instructions.
Bluetooth Quick Assist
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1153
If it still doesn't work, then I would next use this article to remove the device:
Bluetooth: How to Delete a Paired Device
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27116
Then restart your computer and pair it again:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

"Pairing Rejected" between Monster Micro speaker and Macbook Pro Retina bluetooth

Well,
My speaker has never had a problem connecting to my Macbook bluetooth. I turned off bluetooth on all phones in the vicinity.
After taking several attempts to even find the speaker it is being rejected.
Does anyone know why?
K

I'm having the same problem with my Beats by Dre Studio Wireless.
It makes connection and after a while (20 sec or so) it rejects the connection and states. Connection not possible (or something like that)
So if you have the solution please help us...

I cannot get my Macbook Pro retina to connect to my BT Home hub.

Hi,
I cannot get my Macbook Pro Retina to connect to my BT homehub either wirelessly or through ethernet using the thunderbolt adaptor. I know that this is a problem with my IP address as in Network Settings it tells me that
'Thunderbolt Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet.'
I know that my internet connection is fine as I can plug the ethernet cable back into my PC and it works fine. Also, my phone and ipad connect wirelessly just fine.
Bt have told me to contact Apple, but I can't get hold of Apple till tomorrow.
Amyone know how to overcome this?
I did also find my IP address and enter it manually, at which point netwrok settings showed my ethernet connection as green and connected, but it still wasn't working.
Thanks

Same for wifi. I have put in my IP address manually for the wifi network and it has gone green and connects to the hub, but gives me an exclamation mark on the wifi bar and still doesnt connect to the internet.
I am writing this whilst connected to the internet on the same laptop but connected to BTFON which is a really slow public network I have access to as a BT customer.

How do I activate continuity calls on my macbook pro? I have an iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014 and I live in Dubai

I have an iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014 and I live in Dubai, I bought my macbook from Canada and iPhone from UAE so it doesn't have FaceTime but i should be able to get calls on my mac right?

If you set your imessage off on your phone it will only turn it off on your phone i think I don't think it effects your mac. I'm not 100% sure on this though.
If you want to remove imessages from your mac - Open iMessage, go to Messages top left, and then select Preferences. Select "Accounts" and then simply "Sign out" That should do it.

Bluetooth cannot pair samsung s6 and macbook pro retina

Hi all,
I'm trying to pair my new samsung S6 to my 2013 macbook pro retina running yosemite. I have gone to "bluetooth preferences" and I can hit pair and the S6 receives the code to verify and it connects, but then immediately disconnects and goes to a not connected status on the MBPro. I keep receiving a "network is unavailable" message on the MBPro when I go to try again to connect it.
For troubleshooting, I have enabled file and bluetooth sharing in system pref's. I have re-started both devices. I have re-started bluetooth on both devices without a total restart. I have enabled media share on the S6 just in case it was that.
On the S6 under the bluetooth menu, it is saying it is paired up with my MBPro. On the MBPro however, it is showing a "not connected" status.
I would love to transfer photos and video from the S6 to my MBPro via the bluetooth connection. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Chris

I have the exact same issue. Furthermore, the problem extends to creating a wifi hotspot on my s6. May yosemite macbook will not recognize the network that was just created.

WRT1900AC and Macbook Pro Retina - refuses to connect with Wireless N

I have the first generation Macbook Pro Retina, and just recently upgraded my D-Link D-655 for the Linksys WRT1900AC. I also put the router on the first floor (the D-Link was in the basement) because there were some huge holes in wireless coverage I hoped to fix.
To my dismay, the thing will not negotiate a connection with ANY wireless N device as wireless N. When I set it to wireless-N only on 5 GHz, nothing will connect to it, and same with 2.4 GHz. My macbook's system report shows the network as being Wireless G on the 2.4 band and wireless A on the 5 GHz.
I have 50 MBPs internet here, and when I plug directly into the router, I get that. However, I am maxing out at 20 MBPs over wireless with both my macbook and my Samsung Galaxy S4.
I'm about at wits end, my next step is to return this thing. I have been on hold with support for 20 minutes, which is freakin eerie because they have no hold music or talking so it's just dead silent.
This morning I spent an hour on a live chat with support, and nothing she had me do made it better, and in fact any changes made it drop from 20-21 MBPs down to 16-17 maximum.
On her advice, I re-installed the firmware, downloading from online, and this had absolutely no effect. Any other ideas to try? I get these crappy connection speeds sitting 3 feet away from it. I live in a house, so no massive interference from neighbors (only 2 other wifi networks are visible)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

let me be clear here: I had the same slow speed with both my mac and my galaxy s4, it is not a mac problem. I had disabled media prioritization and the WMM thing in the settings for media prioritization. Yes I am sure I am connecting to the right SSID. The old router is DIR-655. Part of the reason I wanted to upgrade is it disconnected my galaxy s4 every 2 minutes (and many people have had that problem, a quick google search verified that the router just doesn't like galaxy s4). OS X 10.7.5 but as I said my Galaxy has the same issue - it does not connect as wireless N, and when I make the router Wireless N only, not one of the computers in the house can connect to it. That includes a Mac Mini, Galaxy S4, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro Retina, and a Chromecast (which only works on the 2.4 band, but same issue there).

Connection iMac and macbook pro retina

I am newbie to mac and apple computers. I just bought the mac book pro retina display. My lab owns an iMac which I have no idea what the model is (probably before mid 2011). I am trying to use my iMac as an external display from my macbook pro retina. Do you think it would work with mini display cable or thunderbolt cable. I am trying to avoid paying for thunderbolt cable as they are so much more expensive than mini display port. Thanks

Although Target Display Mode was offered on some previous iMacs, I understand that it is not available on the Retina 5K (supposedly because the current DisplayPort standard doesn't support a high enough refresh rate to drive a 5K display).

IPhone 5s and Macbook Pro via Bluetooth??

For some reason I cannot connect my iPhone 5s with my new Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display. On both my iPhone and Macbook Pro bluetooth menus they come up but when I am on my iPhone it keeps saying, "Macbook is not supported." Why is this????

Other than Internet tethering, BT file transfer is not supported.

MacBook Pro Retina Wont Connect back to Monitor

Hey Everyone,
I have a MacBook Pro Retina Early 2013 15in that is running OS X Yosemite - 10.10.2 - Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
At Work for the past 1.5 years i have been connecting to a Dell Monitor via a DVI to HDMI Cable to use as my primary screen and have never had any issues. During the day I often present on the projector in the BoardRoom a Dell 4610X using a direct HDMI cable.
The issue: Ever since I have updated my laptop to Yosemite, every time i connect my macbook to my monitor after its been connected to the projector it will no longer connect. The monitor will recognize that there is something connected but it wont show anything. Even if i try another display in the office the same thing happens. The issue will always resolve if i restart the computer.
Recently I had an issue with the Logic Board and it was replaced by an Apple Certified repair shop. This issue was happening even before the logic board was replaced and it is still having the same issues now, so I don't believe its an hardware issue.
Although this issue is not critical, its a nuisance to re-start my laptop each time i get back to my desk after a meeting in the boardroom...
I would high appreciate some help on this!!
Thanks in Advance

IMac and Macbook Pro no longer connecting to the Wifi?

Hi there,
I've been in London this weekend, only to return home to find issues connecting to my wifi. Weirdly, it's only the iMac and Macbook Pro having trouble, everything else is connecting fine e.g iPad, Phone, Android Tablet etc.
I'm getting disconnected around every 20 seconds and cannot figure it out! It's so frustrating as I'm wondering if there's been an update released for OS X that it has downloaded recently? Especially seeing that when I run windows from bootcamp on my iMac, it doesn't disconnect. And I also don't believe it's an issue with the hub.
Has anyone got any suggestions? I've tried removing the network and re-adding, help for about an hour but still not much use.
Thanks, Matt

Wifi Problem iPhone 3Gs AND MAcBook Pro Retina 13" 2014

Hey everyone,
I recently started to experience a problem with my wifi connection with both my apple devices (an old iPhone 3 Gs and a new Macbook Pro Retina 13''). Both are on the newest (availbe in case of the iPhone) Os X. Let me describe the circumstances:
I live in a house with 7 other students and the wifi router was quite far away, therefore I installed an ethernet connection with my laptop and tried to get used to a bad wifi signal on my iPhone. Well, at some point I was sick of that and installed an old router I found (Sweex LW050v2). For a time everything was working smoothly until other people in this house though they need another router on our floor and installed one (Sitecom0E5C02). As soon as they did that I started to have troubles on my iPhone and the Macbook as well (when I tried to use the wifi instead of the cable). The issue is not that I loose the wifi connection, but that I can not connect to the internet even though I have a connection to our wifi (I tried with all 3). In the beginning I though this was an issue with our router-setup (you can probably tell I am no expert) but at some point realised that I am the only one with a problem. Since then I have to disconnect from the wifi and connect again every time I loose the internet, which is now almost every 2 minutes!! Thus, my frustration and now me posting here with hopes of receiving help.
I would much appreciate help or constructive suggestions.
Thank you

Hi Fedaja,
There is a section in both of these articles for troubleshooting connecting to the Internet even when you can connect to Wi-Fi.

Macbook Pro Retina problem connecting to external monitor

Hello Community,
I've been experiencing a problem, I bought a 13' Macbook Pro Retina. Not quite a cheap machine.
But when I connect through HDMI to my HP 23xi , the screen gets blurry and cut. I tried messing with the configurations, but it simply won't get better.
I presume it's because it is retina, of course. But I bought this monitor, a quite nice monitor a month ago, and I do not want to sell it nor throw it away.
What should I do?
My Kindest Regards,
Luisvf7

Hi luisvf7,
So it seems you are having issues with your MacBook Pro not displaying properly on your external display. It does sound like a frustrating situation. Let’s see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you use the steps in this article to troubleshoot the problem -
