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,

MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

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?

  • 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

  • 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!

  • N8 not pairing with bluetooth headset when connect...

    I have a weird issue!
    My N8 connects to my bluetooth headset and functions flawlessly usually. But whenever I connect my N8 via bluetooth to my PC it stops pairing with the headset. The moment it connects with the PC, the headset icon appears in my N8, despite it not having paired the headset.
    This issue is nagging me for quite some time. Any suggestions please...

    I'm running a bit on thin here but let's see.
    It might be possible that your N8 thinks the PC is acting as an audio device to your N8. Have you tried what happens when you have the connection establised over BT and you start playing music on the N8 or there's an incoming call? If the music is played through the N8 speakers or you can take a call, then audio is not routed through your PC.

  • Iphone 4 ios 6 does not pair with bluetooth on 2008 BMW 325i

    I just updated my iphone 4 to IOS 6 this morning.  I got in my car and tried to pair the phone with bluetooth but it did not pair.  I removed the device from the car's memory and tried to re-pair the device but it did not function.  Can I roll back my iphone's operating system to 5.1 or how do I fix this?

    I just discovered the same issue today in my efforts to get alert times synced on my iCal and iPhone after noticing a difference yesterday.  I have been using the iCloud calendar sync since iCloud first came out with zero problems.  Today I discover how terrible this sync is.  My wife and I use a macbook, imac, 2 phones and 2 ipads to enter in calendar information and we depend on a flawless sync for our work and family schedules.
    First, the iCal on my iMac has default times that get applied to every singe item, even if that item had an alert beforehand.  But this default alert time is not applied as an alert on my iPhone4 calendar just the imac.  I haven't even looked at my macbook yet for fear of what i may discover.  After changing alerts and unchanging them and activating default times and deactivating them and wasting time doing this i just need to go through every event on my iphone to make sure that is now correct since I use that the most.  What an unbelievable hassle for a program that worked flawlessly beforehand.  Apple needs to recify this and have the sync work like it did before. 
    I am running:
    Mavericks 10.9.1
    iTunes 11.1.3
    iCal Version 7.0 (1835.1)
    iPhone4 on 7.0.4 (11B554a)

  • Just got the Iphone 6 and it paired BT with the car phone system okay.  But it will not pair with the audio part where I could play my recorded music with my 5-C.  The system will not connect with the phone and the message is that the settings

    My toyota Seinna 2011 refuses to connect with my Iphone 6 as a "portable player".  Message says for me to adjust the player.  On the phone it is searching for other devices but not connecting.  Now same phone is paired with the car multimedia system and will take and make calls.  Help!

    I very much doubt it  if you consider how much data Apple release to App developers
    to allow them to create apps that  work under iOS
    Audi being lazy like most of the other motor manufacturers
    They will be registered developers and as such get all the info and data they need

  • Macbook not waking with bluetooth

    Feb 2011 MBP OSX 10.9.4
    External Display: Asus PB278Q using display port input.
    Occasionally when switching from another source on the monitor, my MBP will only wake by opening the lid.  It occasionally does not respond to any other user input like the bluetooth keyboard or trackpad.  The 'Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer' is already checked.

    Tried these steps : http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=20036064#post20036064
    I look at the power management too. pmset -g showed hibernatemode 0. I Changes it to 3 and it seems to solve part of the issue.
    Can you check if it solve your issue too?

  • 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?
    Puzzled and frustrated,

  • My iPhone 6 plus will not pair with my macbook air 2014

    My iPhone 6 plus gives a message unsuccessful not supported when I try and pair with my macbook air.
    both are running up to date iOS and OS X.

    An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

  • IPhone 4 Bluetooth will not pair with Jawbone Icon,  Jawbone 2

    Just got my iPhone today and am more or less thrilled to have it. The only problem (other than the antenna issue, which the bumper fixes beautifully) is that Bluetooth will not pair with any of my Bluetooth devices. When I turn on Bluetooth on the phone and turn on the headset, iPhone says it's "searching.." and "now discoverable" but it never discovers anything, let alone pair up. The Bluetooth on my MacBook recognized the iPhone and I was able to pair them, but no luck on the Jawbones. Sounds like a JB problem, but I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem and if there's a fix via the iPhone.

    On the icon, turn it off and hold button down while sliding the power switch on. This should put it in pairing mode. Then go into your i4's bluetooth menu and give it another go. Also, Jawbone has recently updated the firmware for the Icon so you need to load it as well. I have the icon and a Jabra cruiser and both work/paired fine. You may want to try rebooting phone and retrying as well.

  • IPhone 4s will not pair with car bluetooth

    My new iphone 4s will not pair with the bluetooth in my 07 Volvo XC70. The blue tooth is after market, looks similar to internet photos of Motorolla T605. Blue tooth says to put in scan mode and then enter code when prompted. Pairing fails and then the screen for the code shows up on the phone.
    I had a iPhone 3s paired with this Bluetooth, and once when I did a reset of that phone had this issue, put through many attempts it eventually paired. Despite many attempts, I cannot get the 4S running IOS 5 to pair.
    The phone does pair with a motorolla bluetooth ear piece.

    I've been having this issue since I got an iPhone 4S last week.  (Upgraded from iPhone 4 on iOS 5.0.1)
    I would think that this is a software issue but I went ahead and visited an AT&T store to see about a replacement phone.  I was directed to go to an Apple store which I then did.  I explained this bluetooth issue I was having as well as the other issue with no audio on outbound calls (described in a different thread) and they gave me a new phone.
    Well, I've tested it several times now with the nav/handsfree systems in two different cars as well as with my headset.  All is good so far!  No drop of bluetooth connection, can switch at will between audio sources and no lack of audio on outbound calls any more.  (And these problems were happening frequently before, even after a complete restore.)

  • My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will  not pair?  I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac.  Can someone help please?

    My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
    There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
    I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
    Can anyone help please?
    My iMac is 20 inch  Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

    Hi All, thank you for you suggestions.  I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp>  which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows.  No mention of iMac!  although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
    I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
    Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
    thanks again.

  • Bluetooth will not pair with Moto Droid4

    My Droid4 has will not pair with either my "Verzion" Jabra VBT-4050 nor my Jawbone Icon.  Both these earpieces paired with this phone before, but will not now.
    Makes no sense to me.
    Thanks...Andy

        westa510b,
    That can certainly be confusing since it previously paired just fine with your device. We will be happy to take a closer look at this matter with you. Have you attempted to reboot the device? Tried deleting the bluetooth connection from the device, then re-establishing connection? Any changes recently to the devices software or additions of an application when you first noticed this issue began?
