Logiix Bluepiston not connecting via bluetooth to Macbook Pro

Hello
I recently purchased a macbook pro retina in january 2015. I also have a magic mouse which connects fine via bluetooth to the mac. I also have a blue piston speaker which just doesnt seem to connect. it doesnt appear at all under bluetooth preferences when its on, but it will appear in the bluetooth settings on my phone, so my phone is able to pick it up by the mac isnt.
any help would be appreciated. So far ive looked at similar posts which either used macs with older OS's and thus different options or the speakers had a seperate bluetooh button to press. (the bluepiston automatically turns on bluetooth when you turn it on)
thank you for the help

  • TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work).  "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
    That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

  • Cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    That is because they do not generally pair. What is it that you are trying to do by connecting them via Bluetooth? If you are referring to AirDrop or continuity, then all you need to do is have Bluetooth turned on, they do not pair.

  • My 2010 MacBook A1342 will not connect via Bluetooth to my iPhone 5S

    I am able to connect my 2010 MacBook Pro to my iPhone 5s in order to use the Internet connection via Bluetooth. However I just purchased my son a 2010 white MacBook A1342 via Bluetooth to my iPhone 5s in order to use the Internet, I received a message on my phone that says "MacBook not supported".
    I am able to pair other Bluetooth devices to this same MacBook and I know that I can connect via Wi-Fi but I would like to know why this is not working.
    Thanks!

    And I am also trying to connect it to my iPhone 5s via Bluetooth***
    excuse the typo.

  • HT1338 hp 100 office jet printer will not connect via bluetooth to my mac pro running os 10.9

    I once was able to connect via blue tooth to my HP mobile office jet printer with my Mac pro. but ever since i have upgraded to OS 10.9 it will not pair with my laptop. I have gone too the HP site and downloaded the current drivers for this printer as well as check apple updates. it still will not connect via bluetooth

    System Preferences>Fax & Scan. Delete the printers and re-add them back in.

  • Sometimes car will not connect via bluetooth unless I go into settings app

    I've updated my Iphone 4 to IOS5.  I've paired the phone with my car (Infinity) and it usually works.  But sometimes it does not connect.  I've notice that in those cases I can get my phone to connect immediately by going into the settings app on my iphone.  I just have to enter the settings app, I don't have to change anything, I don't even have to go into general settings where bluetooth is.  I just have to enter the settings app and the car will connect to my iphone via bluetooth immediately every time.  has anyone run into this?

    Just checking again to see if anyone has run into the problem I described above and may have an answer.  It is really annonying.

  • HT204368 my iphone 4 will not connect via bluetooth to my laptop

    I cannot connect my iphone 4 via bluetooth to my laptop

    That is correct.
    This has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards, some apps from the app store, and internet tethering (if provided by the carrier)

  • Disconnect or connect the bluetooth makes MacBook Pro restart.

    I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch, mid 2010, running OS X 10.9.2.
    Everytime (well, most of everytime) when the bluetooth disconnects from my wireless device,
    Such as:
    *Out of bluetooth distance
    *Manually turn off bluetooth connection on macbook pro
    *Switching off bluetooth on mouse (means connection dropped with the mac's bluetooth)
    *Bluetooth device out of batteries (means connection dropped with the mac's bluetooth)
    *Connecting bluetooth mouse to macbook pro
    *Turning on bluetooth (and then when its auto trying to connect to bluetooth device)
    From all the incident above, not all at a time, but time to time, performing one of the event above will cause my MacBook Pro to restart / force restart it self.
    Sometimes it comes with an white error note screen after restart, asking press anybutton to continue. Anything related to bluetooth disconnecting and connecting makes mbp restart and it's really getting me annoyed and frustrating.
    My macbook pro just out of the service center less than six month ago, replaced / fixed / tested all the parts for the best condition as it should, no problem at time. Just found or realise this bluetooth issue last two months. Been looking some websites seems like no issue arround similar to this, so here I am with this thread.
    I wonder anyone else suffer from this, or some expert will have some magic advise to fix this issue? Software or hardware problem? I hope it is not hardware as I just literally have all brand new hardware since last service. The problem should not come this soon.

    did you try to Browse Device on Mac Bluetooth at the top-right corner? I faced the same problem but it was worked after I made macbook find my phone bluetooth.

  • Time Capsule cannot connect via PPPoe when MacBook Pro can.

    I used to connect to the internet using my TC as a router, connecting via PPPoE using a DSL modem.
    While my ISP had a problem with their network, the TC stop connecting to the PPPoE host and the amber light kept blinking. Because this was taking too long, I decided to investigate this issue.
    I tried connecting my laptop directly to the modem, the restored my original configuration.
    My MacBook Pro connected via ethernet to the DSL modem, is able to connect to the internet using a PPPoE connection. When I try the same via the TC, it just doesn't connect!
    What should I do to troubleshoot this?
    Is it possible that it is related to my ISP? Even though the laptop manages to connect via PPPoE.
    Even the DSL modem when switched to router functionality is able to connect via PPPoE.
    Only the TC seems to fail. What could be the problem?
    (I have ruled out incorrect passwords and faulty wiring...)

    There is some extra info I need.
    What modem.. make and model..?? What kind of broadband?
    How is the Buffalo setup? Is it router or bridged and if router is it using pppoe?
    There is nothing wrong with keeping the buffalo .. it is a very reasonable router.. and just use the TC in bridge plugged into it..
    I have to confess I really dislike the airport utility v6 in Mountain Lion.. it is a kiddie toy version of the real v5 utility. Half your problems relate to the near to useless nature of the utility.
    Can you install 5.6 and then we can get somewhere.
    Here is howto..
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • HT2275 Do I need to choose "Share this printer on the network" for printers that are not connected directly to my MacBook Pro? I have two HP printers connected to an Airport Extreme (WiFi turned off). I connect by WiFi to another Airport Extreme w cable t

    I have three Airport Extreme (AE) routers in my home network.
    The main AE is set up for wifi access. The other two are connected by ethernet cables to the main AE. My MacBook Pro connects to the network wirelessly through the main AE. The AE in my office has two HP printers connected to it by ethernet cables. I have a Kodak All-in-one that is connected by USB to my MacBook Pro.
    I reset my printer connections on my MacBook Pro and had to add all the printers back to my printer list. I don't know if I understand what the checkbox "Share this printer on the network" in the Print & Fax System Preferences window is for. My guess is that I don't need to share printers unless they are connected to my MacBook Pro by USB, so I should uncheck the "Share this printer on the network" box for the two HP printers that are connected to the AE. I print to them over the network, but they're not connected directly to any computer. I thought if my MacBook Pro wasset to share them and was shutdown, the printers might not be available to my Mac mini or Dell PC, which connect by ethernet to the office AE (which has the two printers connected to it).
    What should I do?
    For printers connected directly to a Mac (or PC) by USB, check the "Share this printer on the network" box? In my Sharing Preferences, I check "Share Printers."
    For printers connected to the AE by ethernet, UNcheck the "Share this printer on the network" box on my Macs (& PCs?) when I add the printers to my printer list? In my Sharing Preferences, I UNcheck "Share Printers?"

    Question is - will the 2 networks (using auto channel negotiations) exist well in the same house or will there be interference?
    Things will be fine since the AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme will automatically search for a good wireless channel. If you assign a separate name for the wireless network, then devices will need to log in separately to this network. The extending device will need to be configured in Bridge Mode.
    My suggestion would be to configure what is known as a "roaming" network in your question #2. In this case, you would assign the same wireless network name, security and password settings to the extending device and configure it in Bridge Mode.
    The advantage to #2 is that you will be able to walk your laptop from a location near the Time Capsule and as you move close to the extending device, the laptop will automatically switch to pick up the stronger signal from the extending AirPort.
    You are actually creating a separate network in #2, so you have the advantage of maximum bandwidth for both the TC network and the AirPort network.
    Question - does the Airport Express have to be directly connected to the TC or can that connected be through a switched network?
    I'm assuming that you are asking about an Ethernet switch here, correct?  The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme can connect to the Ethernet switch, or directly back to a LAN port on the Time Capsule, whichever is easier to setup.
    Question 2 - assuming I can connect the Airport Express to the TC over a switched network, will "extending" the network using the Ethernet network still reduce my overall wireless bandwidth?
    Connecting the remote device using Ethernet is by far the best way to extend a wireless network because it maintains maximum bandwidth on the network. This is the way that any good commercial network is designed.
    Post back if you need any tips to get things setup.
