Macbook automatically pairs with bluetooth speaker device

Hi
I've got a little problem with my Macbook (late 2008 aluminium unibody).
I have a Belkin bluetooth device that is connected to my surround sound system so that I can stream music from my Macbook to the sound system.
When I leave the bluetooth on my Mac switched on (not paired with the Belkin device however) and I let my Mac go into sleeping mode. Then when I power up my Macbook again it pairs automatically with the Belkin device. I don't want this to happen because if I want to use the device I want to select it in the bluetooth menu in the top menu bar myself.
I had the same problem with OS X Mavericks, but after a reinstall of OS X (which I did for other reasons) it didn't pair automatically anymore. And now since my update to Yosemite I have the same problem again. So there must be a way to fix this.
Does anyone know a solution for this?

I found this hit better https://discussions.apple.com/message/22091984#22091984#22091984

MacBook not pairing with Bluetooth Audio Sink Typhoon

I did not have success trying to get my MacBook to pair with a Typhoon Bluetooth Audio Receiver Set (http://www.typhoon.de/en/art.php?p=1523&pv=3 ).
The Typhoon device claims to be a A2DP-SNK (stereo audio sink) .
My MacBook (10.4.8 up to date, with a Bluetooth-MightyMouse) Bluetooth-Assistant finds it in "Search-all"-Mode and labels it as "BT Receiver", and also finds it if I search for Headsets alone.
But after that, it just sits there and "collects additional information.", which "should take only seconds".
There is no timeout on this, no error message is given either.
Actually, with this Audio-Receiver came an Audio-Transmitter (a USB-BT-Dongle). Connecting this with a MacBook USB-Port does not result in any reaction of the machine.
The BT-Dongle should be able to do most BT-profiles, including GAP,SPP,HSP,HID and A2DP.
The System.log does not show anything, except for a "kernel[0]: (3795: ps)tfp: failed on 0:" happening every 3 seconds continually.
I'm hoping for any ideas... Or should I dump this device?
Did anyone of you get an audio-sink (with Line-Out) working with OSX?
Thanks,

I've just found out that my Macbook's Bluetooth spec is Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and my keyboard's Bluetooth is 3.0. Would this be of any issue?

You need to supply more specifics. The device(s) need to be identified.

Thunderbolt wont pair with bluetooth devices

have tried to get it to pair with the following devices, with no success:
plantronics voyager pro (brand new)
LG HSB-200 headphones
these devices formerly all worked perfectly with our BB storm, LG 8000 series and droid I
please help!

Same problem here - my Thunderbolt will connect and disconnect repeatedly to my vehicle. I reached out to HTC and received this response:
Thank you for replying to my email concerning the connection between your Thunderbolt VIA Bluetooth to your vehicle. The Bluetooth stack in the Android Operating system for the Thunderbolt is different from the Bluetooth profile that is used for the Motorola [Droid] X. The device is not compatible with the Bluetooth of your BMW. There is not an option to force the device to stay connected if the device will not stay connected.
Unfortunately it looks like I'll have to take back this wonderful phone due to a silly issue like this

IPhone6 won't pair with BlueTooth on MBPro

IPhone6, iOS 8.1.1 won't pair with BlueTooth on MBPro nor can I use it as Blue Tooth "hands free" device in my car. Blue Tooth is enabled on the phone and on the MBPro. I try to "connect to network" on the iPhone, using BT preferences on the MBPro, but get the message "can't connect" . On the MBPro, have gone to Sys. Pref., Network, can see the phone but again get the same message when I try to connect.
On the phone under the green button (which enables) the BlueTooth, I see the word "other devices" and a spinning beach ball as the phone tries to find additional devices but no joy.
Have Googled the problem, am reading similar issues - people seem to think it was the new iOS 8.0 and 8.1.1 was supposed to be a fix but it isn't. Any thoughts out there would be much appreciated.

Great - finally got our iPhones6 "discoverable" on our car. Whew!!! Thank you so much.
But, still can't pair our iPHone with my MBPro. Follwed directions on your link but no joy....<sigh>
The MBPro does NOT find the iPhone device. Don't know why......
However, the biggest problem is solved, hopefully.....that being the car/phone connection.
Appreciate the assistance.
thx

You don't connect the iPhone to the Pill using NFC.
You connect 2 Pills using NFC.

Can iOS automatically pair with various bluetooth devices (computers...) to stream audio?

We are trying to develop an application capable of streaming audio thru bluetooth from a computer to an iOS device. If we were to use various bluetooth computers to transmit this audio, do we have to manually pair the devices or is there a way for iOS to automatically pair to these computers?
We know that streaming audio to ios devices is possible. There are various applications like Eavesdrop that permit this audio streaming.
We would be very grateful if anybody could help us!

Guess that the best way to do this is with wifi then..

My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with bluetooth audio receiver?

My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with my aluratech istream universal bluetooth audio receiver. It automatically paired the first time I used it, but now will not pair. I removed the bluetooth receiver from the ipod because it kept saying make sure the receiver device is on and within range. Now it doesn't even detect the bluetooth receiver. Any ideas?

Thank you! We got the bluetooth receiver to use with our car stereo and our motorcycle stereo and were very frustrated when it quit working. Thank you for helping me solve the problem!
