MacBook Pro & JBL Charge bluetooth speaker won't pair.

My Macbook Pro will not pair with my JBL Charge Bluetooth speaker. I am operating OSX 10.8.4. The speaker isn't picking up on the bluetooth Mac to be found. Pairs with my iPhone 5 with no problem, but not the iPad mini or MacBook Pro. Anyone else have this problem?

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

Flash sound stops working after I pair my Macbook Pro with a Bluetooth speaker. What's going on?

I have a 2012 17 inch MBP, and regularly pair it with a Jambox bluetooth speaker for music. After pairing it, sound frequently stops working in Flash - Youtube videos and the like. Only restarting seems to do the trick. What's disabling the sound, and is there a way to re-enable it without the hassle of restarting?

Not enough memory, page-outs is too large
8.91 GB Page-outs
After removing adware, and do a safe boot of Safari and remove extensions, then reset cache history etc. You need to do a boot into Recovery Mode and run Disk Repair from there. Also boot the system in Safe Mode.
On startup it sounds like you have a problem with the directory which would also account for long startups and checking the directory. Along with or instead of DU Repair Disk you can use Single User Mode and fsck -fy to try to fix the directory but in some cases that may not be enough.
Backups from before you got this adware and problems helps and should always be ready and able to restore a system from known good backups or system restore image.
4GB of RAM may have been fine originally but "Early 2011" is now 5 years and 4 OS version changes. You can upgrade the memory and while at it consider a nice SSD internal drive which will help as well. Take a look and see what prices and options there are from http://www.macsales.com for your 2011 MacBook Pro.

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

Ah, sure it actually won't. I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support. They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug. It's a feature!!"
Personally, I think this is insane. While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection. There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network. The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place. At least mine won't.

My MacBook Pro battery is empty and won't charge, but charger is fine

My MacBook Pro battery is empty and won't charge. I did the PRAM reset when there was still some power left in the battery. The charger indicator light doesn't come on when I connect it to MacBook Pro, BUT it works just fine with my old white Mac book. This happened a few times before, and unplugging and plugging the adapter into the MacBook pro helped. Now nothing happens no matter how many times I reset the charger. Is there anything else I can do?

More than likely you need a new battery.

I just purchased a JBL charge wireless speaker that is supposed to be compatible with ipad using Bluetooth , but cannot get my ipad to find the device. Please help

How do I connect ipad to jbl charge wireless speaker using Bluetooth. My ipad and ipad mini do not find device

I am having the same issue as YCandy. My iPhone 5 paired immediately - then I had bluetooth on my iPhone "forget the device" - but when I try to pair with my iPad it doesn't find the speaker. I just purchased the JBL Charge wireless.
The directions that come with the speaker are just pictures - shows me how to connect everything and what each light and button means. But it doesn't explain how to make sure the device is in "pairing mode." What does that mean exactly? The power button is blinking Blue - and never pairs with my iPad.
Any suggestions?

Does a usb cab to 60 Watt L-Tip Power Adapter charger for Apple MacBook Pro Laptop Charger exist

does a usb cable
does a Usb cable to60 Watt L-Tip Power Adapter charger for Apple MacBook Pro Laptop Charger exist? i have an external battery pack i would like to use to charge my iphone and macbook pro.

Not that I am aware of. An Internet search on your part will be required. If you should find something to that effect, note it will not be endorsed by Apple and the magnetic connector will probably be in violation of Apple patents.
Ciao.

Using MacBook Pro while charged?

Hey
I've got a 2010 15" MacBook Pro - just bought in September - and its awesome.
Got a question though. Will using the MacBook Pro when charged fully, so theres a green light on the MagSafe Adapter, decrease battery life/health?
Thanks.

No. It's fine to leave it plugged in 95% of the time if that's most convenient for you. Just don't leave it plugged in 100% of the time: us it on battery power for an hour or two every day or two.

My 2014 Macbook Pro's charger is not secure. It flicked out while closing the laptop and cracked the screen, is this something apple will repair as its the chargers fault?

I have a 2014 15" Retina display Macbook Pro.
Moving on from my 13" 2012 Macbook Pro the charger on the 2014 model isn't as good and keeps flicking out, and not staying in place.
Unfortunately it flicked out on its own at the wrong point, when I was closing the screen. This resulted in the screen cracking!! Because this is a fault with the Macbook's charger that has cracked my screen, will apple cover it and replace my screen?
If not does anyone know how much screen replacements cost at apple?
I have applecare but screen damage does not cover it.
Thanks guys!

There's no one from Apple here, so we can't advise you on what it would cost to replace the screen. You should just take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP (making an appointment first) and get and estimate for replacement.
I doubt that Apple will fix the screen gratis - they will likely pin it down to a user accident. If you can actually demonstrate that it's the fault of the adapter, you may get a break.
Good luck,
Clinton

My MacBook Pro shut down unexpectedly and won't connect to wifi now.

My MacBook Pro shut down unexpectedly and won't connect to wifi now. All other devices in my house are connecting to the wifi just fine. The laptop just refuses to connect. Any ideas on how to fix this/what it might mean?

Try a SMC reset:

Can't connect iPhone 5s to macbook pro retina via bluetooth

Just downloaded Yosemite and am trying to pair my iPhone 5s to my macbook pro retina via bluetooth to take advantage of call handoff. I cannot get the pairing to work. It appears to try to connect, sends the pair code to my phone and I accept, but then fails. My phone mysteriously shows two available options for my Macbook Pro. Can't figure that out either. I tried resetting my network settings on my phone, and did a two button reset on my phone as well. Any suggestions?

I have a feeling this is a Yosemite bug (or iOS 8). I'm getting the same error message, and I also have 2 copies of my macbook air (2013) showing up on my phone (iphone 6 plus) . Bluetooth is on for both devices, its just still telling me it cant get network access even after momentarily saying its connected and giving me a pair code.
Update: Unpairing the phone and re-pairing doesn't fix anything. Still get a pair code, then it immediately disconnects.

2 small bulges on my macbook pro just above the speaker on the top right

2 small bulges on my macbook pro just above the speaker on the top right. Has anyone had an experience with this. I just noticed them the other day
thanks

"from right to left I'm looking at usb, hdmi, and sd card reader?"
Yes.
"Looks like there's nothing in the area to heat up."
Yup, so they're probably right, it was a mechanical pressure. I could see how that would happen if you had a USB plugged in and a cinder block fell on it.
"Apple is going to ridiculous lengths to promote thinner, lighter products over build quality."
Yes, the first time I saw these new MBPs I thought it was an Air!
Maybe if Steve was still around they would be making the tops out of a more rigid aluminum.
I had a friend out of college, a mechanical engineer. He was working for a major American auto manufacturer. He said his whole job was to design the stampings for the throttle linkage to use the minimum and to waste the minimum amount of material. Later he called me and said that they were going crazy with a recall and a redesign. The linkages got so thin that they were fracturing in normal driving and the cars would go immediately to full throttle.
Yah that would be bad.
So you could probably gently push that dimple back, being careful not to mar the surface. Then pray that one of those elements that comprise the top case fails!!
