Mac Pro did not paire With Bose Sound Link!

COuld not pairing Bluetooth between Mac Pro and Bose Sound Link?

I forgot to mention that I followed the same instructions that did solve the problem.
The things I tried were:
1. turning off wi-fi
2. closing all apps
Doing this however did not solve my problem either.

  • Macbook pro will not pair with Vizio sound bar.

    Macbook will not pair with Vizio sound bar. It has paired and worked fine in the past. in the menu bar at the top of the screen it says it is connected but it is not. when I open the bluetooth preferences and try to pair it says pairing failed. any help would be great. thanks.

    Me too. sigh
    All was well until this afternoon, when I swapped out the batteries on my trusty old Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, which has worked flawlessly for me for a few years now. After I put new batteries in, my MBP wouldn't recognize it. I went through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and it "saw" the mouse and properly listed it as "Microsoft Mouse". I hit "continue", of course, and the Assistant said "Pairing with your Bluetooth mouse". It got as far as "Connection established" (and I saw the mouse appear in the Bluetooth preference pane", but then I got the dreaded red words: "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your mouse is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." Etc., etc. I made sure of all of those things and tried again, many times, with the same failure every time. I tried different batteries, rebooted the Mac, and so on. No luck.
    Figuring my mouse was dead, I went out and bought a Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse, brand new, never been paired with anything. Same problem!
    Also, I can no longer get my Palm Treo 650 to sync via Bluetooth. It used to be a little flaky (often complained that the port was in use by another application), but rebooting the Treo always solved that. Now, it doesn't.
    One trusty old mouse suddenly stops pairing, one brand-new one refuses to pair, smartphone won't sync any more. I haven't installed any system updates or anything else since the Microsoft mouse worked. The only weird thing going on is that I'm having massive network connectivity issues with my broadband connection (probably a flaky cable modem), and a couple of days ago I bought a new Airport Extreme a/b/g/n wireless router, which is at the other end of the house from my computer and now-defunct mice.
    Very bizarre. Can the Bluetooth chip or antenna in a MacBook Pro burn out or otherwise fail?

  • Z10 pairing with bose sound link

    Can My Z10 pair with bose soundLink 2 ? and how?

    Hi bbattaglia,
    Does your Bose SoundLink 2 pair using Bluetooth? Have you tried pairing it? If so, what happens when you pair it?
    Thanks.

  • Since my MacBook Pro did not come with an iDVD

    Since my MacBook Pro did not come with an iDVD and my old mac has an old iDVD, if I get an iLife 09 or 11 will I be able to install the iDVDs from these programs or are the iDVDs just an upgrade? Thank you.
    Richard DeAngelis

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

  • Why my mac pro did not have iphoto software

    why my mac pro did not have iphoto software

    It could be that you haven't set up your machine properly. Or it could be just a mistake. But since you give us no information - heck, you don't even give us punctuation - how on earth could we know?

  • 2008 mac pro will not boot with HD 5770 installed.

    Does anyone have suggestions for this.  When I say it will not boot, I mean it will not respond at all to the power button if the card is installed (or at least if the power cord for the card is plugged into the motherboard.  This is a mac pro version 3,1 with 8 cores 2.8 xeon, 22GB ram, running 10.6.8.  Boots fine with xt2600 but will not boot if the 5770 power cord is plugged in. THis is an apple specific card from B and H.  Perhaps I received a bad card.  I have tried with and without the xt2600 installed and have tried in slots 1 and 2.  I do not have any other PCI cards installed.  Iknow this is not an "officially supported card" but it seems to work for everyone else.

    Sounds like the ATI 5770 issue to me.
    And 5770 worked on 1000s and 1000s of Mac Pro all models, like mine a 1,1 (there is even a thread of 160+ posts)
    Where did you buy the cable and card, if from Apple and it is recent, exchange.
    You are saying you never got to work...

  • Mac Pro does not sleep with lid open

    Hi this was the original post I posted a couple days ago.
    "Hi All,
    I have had a problem with my mac book pro, it does not sleep while the screen is left open. The way I used to be able to tell if the mac is sleeping is the light on the front should flash as it does when the screen is closed. Here is what has happened in the past.
    1. The original hard drive failed and was replaced with a 500gb
    2. I have had the top case replaced as the mac book pro would not sleep with the screen closed
    3. A clean install with OSX 10.6.8
    After doing all this, the mac is still having the same issue.
    When the screen is left open, I can hear the fans whirring away and the battery is drained as if I am running an intensive program. I can leave it all night with the screen up and wake up to the battery being completely dead. It usually takes about 3 hours or so. (105 cycles on the battery). The settings are set so that the screen and mac hibernate after 1 minute, and all applications are closed with wi-fi, etc turned off.
    When my fathers and my brothers mac book pro is left open, the light on the front of the case flashes.
    I have been to the apple store repeatedly and they are adament there is no issue with the mac. They did all their "tests" and the hardware was tested as "good".
    Thanks for any help!
    Chris"
    The problem was solved with the following:
    1. Deleting Login Items
    2. Turning off blu-tooth
    3. Unchecking "wake for network access"

  • Newest Mac Pro does NOT work with CC14 - Will Adobe address this or not?

    I have a Mac Pro late 2013 - the "trash can" - and when I tried installing Premiere CC14, it crashed multiple times before even completing the program's initial bootup. I had to install CS6 just to get operable, though this does not help me open the CC14 projects I have inherited. I have a colleague who uses a $1.5K laptop, and it works logarithmically faster and better with CC14 than my $4K new Mac Pro.  I have all the Adobe permissions set to "Read/Write" and it shows absolutely no speed improvements over a much less expensive iMac.  The CUDA feature is worthless unless Adobe develops a way for it to take advantage of the hardware configuration of the Mac Pro... And I'm having a hard time finding anything resembling an official statement suggesting this is anywhere close to a reality.  I have many After Effects plug ins, and while yes: They are 3rd party plug ins, these are not just electives - They are part of my arsenal that my loyal clients have come to expect.
    For 15 years I have used After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator, all 15 of them on a Mac. In all that time I have NEVER experienced this kind of vagueness, finger pointing, and dodgy avoidance.  There seems to be an allergy to making an announcement that anything resembling a coordinated effort is going to happen.
    Why would I buy "the fastest" Mac if Adobe didn't work with it?  MAC STORE staff didn't seem to think this was going to be an issue... Yet I can't find any official date as to when CC14 is projected to work with AMD architecture.
    I'm feeling a lot like I did when Mac juked us with FCP-7 to FCP-X "upgrade.'   Et tu, Adobe?
    -JOHN BEYER
    (PS - Yes I had Adobe Creative Cloud assistance help me troubleshoot)

    No offense meant, but did you come here to ask for help, or are you just complaining?  Because it seems an awful lot like the latter...

    So does CC2014 work on your Mac Pro or not?  The laptop doesn't "work logarithmically faster..." than your Mac Pro if the software isn't working to begin with.  Hyperbole, much?
    The CUDA feature is worthless unless Adobe develops a way for it to take advantage of the hardware configuration of the Mac Pro...
    CUDA isn't available on the new Mac Pro.  OpenCL is.  If you have the CUDA preference panel installed due to another piece of software putting it there, you're better served by deleting it.  It's not going to help you at all on the new Mac.  It may, in fact, cause problems.
    Pr CC2014 works fine with OpenCL on the new Mac.  Ae doesn't, but Adobe has never said Ae does or would.  Anything you do in Ae is going to be CPU-bound.  If Pr is crashing, then it likely means you have something else on your system that's mucking things up.  Did you recover your user directory with something like Time Machine when you installed your new Mac?  Was your user directory originally on some other Mac?  What happens if you create an entirely new user from scratch, without restoring the home directory, and then try to kick Pr into gear?  Does it run?
    Provide some details and perhaps someone can help.

  • TS3649 my mac (2012) did not come with idvd.where can i get this program for download?

    My iMac os lion 10.7.2 (2012) did not come with idvd program. Where can I get this program for download?

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - a free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    • Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • HT1338 My Macbook Pro did not come with apps like iMovie or GarageBand...why?

    I just purchased the Macbook Pro after it had recently been updated in-store with OS X Lion, and today I also upgraded it to Mountain Lion. However, my macbook did not come with iLife, iMovie, or GarageBand. How do I go about fixing this? I don;t want to pay for them online via the app store, because they are supposed to come with the laptop.

    iLife is no longer offered with the upgrade OS, a inconvenience for many. 
    iLife was never offered with an OS update. It comes with the purchase of the Mac.
    If the Mac was updated by someone in the store to Lion, that means it was old enough that it came with probably Snow Leopard. There should be a set of grey DVDs that came with the Mac. The iLife applications were on one of the DVDs.

  • My mac pro won't pair with my magic trackpad.

    I'm posting in this forum because I am using a Mac Pro, what we used to call a "tower," and my Magic Trackpad isn't recognized & won't pair. This has been an increasing problem over the past year, and I actually blamed the trackpad and bought a new one -- and of course it doesn't work either. My MacBook Pro (actually two of them) use the same latest version of Mountain Lion and they pair up just fine, never dropping the connection. I'm an old-timer with 25 years on the Mac, and I'm stumped. The support forums here confirm that this is a common problem -- MT not pairing -- and I have tried every suggestion I can find. Booting in safe mode, repairing permissions, trashing the bluetooth prefs file, VRAM and SMC resets, moving computer away from any possible interference, and probably two or three more I can't recall. I don't have any exotic apps installed (there's one that has something to do with Windows that can cause this problem, but I don't have it), nothing on the tower that's not on the two laptops running the same OS X version. For the record, I have a 2x2.8 Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM, all the original Apple installation. OS X is 10.8.4. I've tried three different brands of alkaline batteries. For a time the problem was intermittent (the dreaded "dropped connection") but now it doesn't pair up at all, i.e. neither of my two trackpads pair up. I've let the "searching" function run for as long as 30 minutes, including some restarts of the trackpad...you get the picture. Although this has been addressed in other places in support, I am posting here because so far I don't have a solution. Any ideas? I really appreciate the forum, have been here a long time, and hope that someone has that next good idea that's going to help me. Thanks in advance!

    I had the same problem as you with Bluetooth stuff. It was suggested to me that I buy an external BT dongle
    as the bluetooth reception in the stock Mac Pro was spotty at best.I did so- iogear 421 (the 521 is supported but ONLY in Mountain Lion, so I was told) and bluetooth works just fine.  Of course it might be that the cables for your Bluetooth/Airport card in your Mac Pro could have been installed incorrectly (just google bluetooth in Mac Pro help) but...if they have been, then the dongle might be your best bet, or some kind of external antenna
    (the G5 had one, as you may know, but we don't......)
    I see by your posting you have tried every suggestion you possibly could, and it's not software related
    and it's not a simple one-shot-done fix...
    that's the best I have for now. I think I paid about $25 for the dongle and it was easy as pie to install

  • MacBook Pro will not pair with any Bluetooth device

    Last night my MacBook Pro stopped pairing with any bluetooth device (I've tried Apple Pro Wireless Keyboard, Wireless Mighty Mouse, Logitech MX900 mouse, Apple Aluminum Wireless Keyboard) and it simply won't pair with anything.
    It sees each device but when it tries to pair it fails. With the keyboards, sometimes it'll give me the passkey to type on the keyboard but then it doesn't recognize that I've actually typed it and hit enter. Eventually I just end up with:
    "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your keyboard is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." When ready, click Continue to try again."
    I've reinstalled 10.5.6 Combo update, tried to pair under a different user account, turned off/on bluetooth, and still nothing.
    I did install VMWare Fusion last night and briefly shared the Bluetooth connection to that, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.
    Any suggestions?

  • Mac Pro will not boot with Snow Leopard - need help!

    I have had a lot of issues with Snow Leopard since I upgraded from 10.5.8. Most of my problems started after installing Office 2007. I finally wiped the hard drive and reinstalled everything. No problems until last week. Start up was taking longer and had to reboot a couple of times because of grey screen. So I would just put computer to sleep. Yesterday the computer was frozen on screen saver with scrambled rows of pixels on screen two and the main monitor had a frozen image.
    I initially pulled all peripherals out and pulled the power plug for 5 minutes. I have left the peripherals out and pulled the second monitor as well. I tried pulling the power plug during a few more starts but nothing gets me to a complete start up screen.
    I have tried resetting PRAM and VRAM and tried a safe boot. I tried booting from Snow Leopard and my Leopard disk stayed on either a blue or gray screen with spinning beach ball (on gray screen).
    Put original install disk in and booted from using D to check the hardware. Good news is that the hardware test was OK. I did the extended test.
    All different kind of start up problems.
    - Some start with start up sound goes to Apple logo to blue screen to grey screen with beachball
    - Some start ups with no initial sound then Apple logo to blue screen to grey screen with no cursor or beachball
    - Some start ups with no sound to gray screen to blue screen to grey screen.
    I have no problem wiping the HD1 again but I can't even get the OS disk to be recognized with holding the C key during start up. This last time it went to a blue screen (holding the C key) and a cursor.
    I don't know what else to do - Please help!!!

    There are lists (MacIntouch and MacFixit) of hardware / software support issues with 10.6. Accelerateyourmac is another place to watch.
    There were some really long threads back in Sept about printer driver support.
    The 7300 firmware was more about Windows support; those cards are failing and dropping like flies (how DO they know 3 yrs has expired anyway?) and they don't support SL features like OpenCL etc so I'd invest in ATI 4870, best graphic card and works in all models Mac Pro.
    Lots and lots of bootable clones for backup. Never need to wipe and install again.

  • 4.3 not compatible with Bose sound dock

    I updated iPhone 3GS to 4.2 then 4.3 last week and I now get an error about incompatible product when I plug it in to my new Bose sound dock 10 (and I get no sound).before the updates it worked fine. My wife has the same phone still running 4.0.1 and hers still works fine. Any suggestions?
    Perhaps apple would like to refund my $1000 spent on the sound dock

    I am not sure about the certification you are talking about (will check) spoke to both apple phone support and BOSE support. Neither had heard about it or come across it. Apple suggested to contact BOSE and see if there was an update (which can't be done) - Spoke to BOSE and at least they were going to get someone who had an Iphone 3gs to update theirs and do a test. I did visit the apple reseller where I purchased the sound dock and they were no help stating they had no way of logging anything with apple. tried the iphone in another sound dock 10 which did exactly the same thing.

  • Since Snow Leopard, Mac Pro will not sleep with Apple wireless keyboard

    I have an odd problem, now on 2 Mac Pro (Nehalem) with 10.6.1:
    Since Snow Leopard, the system will not sleep as long as a) the user is logged on (any users/profile) and b) the Apple aluminum wireless keyboard is 'attached'.
    If I log off first, sleep works fine. If I turn the keyboard off first, it's fine. But if hitting 'sleep' when logged on, the screen turns dark, sleep process begins, but the system comes right back (with a note 'keyboard disconnected'.
    It's as if the keyboard disconnects after sleep, but the system still monitors it, and wakes up.
    Note: Wake for bluetooth devices IS NOT ENABLED!
    Here is the console log (relevant info):
    10/18/09 4:57:33 PM kernel System Sleep
    10/18/09 4:57:48 PM kernel Wake reason = UHC1

    Does anyone have any idea? While on, the keyboard never disconnects - i.e. I don't have any other issues with BT or the keyboard (this is the 2nd I tried).
    Also, my apologies for double-posting this earlier in a different forum; cheers!
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Hi,
    and thanks for posting that.
    That's too bad. I am probably going to log off if needed, rather than going wired, but I can't believe that this might be more prevalent than just me and there is no 'fix'...
    Anyone ?!
    Thanks as always,
    Dan
