Motorola Bluetooth Headset H500 Soft Touch Black, lost in confusion.

Hi, I have a friend who gave me his old Motorola Bluetooth Headset H500 Soft Touch Black unfortunately he doesn't have any of the manuals or software that came with it because it was lost somewhere deep in piles of junk in his garage...
Anyways I'm wondering if there is a way to get it to be recognized with my MacBook. I believe he formerly used it on his cell phone. When I have my Mac search for Bluetooth devices however it doesn't find any.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Anyone has problems with delay answering with BT headset.. My Motorola BT pairs and I can make calls with no problems.

  • IPhone + Bluetooth Headset H710 = ????

    Will my Motorola Bluetooth Headset H710 work with my iPhone? I just bought it online and I didn't even think if it would be compatible with my iPhone and I don't want to open the box if it's not going to work. I tried connecting a different Motorola Bluetooth headset to my iPhone and nothing came up when it was trying to pair it. HELP!!!

    According to Motorola's website, apparently the H710 does support the iPhone.
    Take a look [here|http://www.motorola.com/consumer/v/index.jsp?ps=y&itemID=5041586a336a0110 VgnVCM1000008206b00a___&sectionName=SEC_TYP_00012&vgnextoid=38b5f7c0c1a0b010VgnVCM1000008206b00aRCRD &show=globalSupport&catID=7af81300ec3b0110VgnVCM1000008206b00a____&pg=PG_TYP00003&productID=69e5a8a6663c6110VgnVCM1000008206b00aRCRD].
    You should be able to use that web page to select the Apple iPhone and it'll show you how to use the two together.

  • Bluetooth Headset Case

    I can't seem to keep track of my Bluetooth headset, and I've already lost one. Any suggestions for what people are doing? The last one fell out of my pocket, and I don't like to wear in my ear when I'm not on the phone. I'm using a Jawbone2. Cool cases or other ideas appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    (I know that I saw a similar post here previously but can't seem to find it - apologies for any repeat.)

    Quick update for the retractable BlueCLIP ... I've had no problems keeping track of my headset, which is more than I can say for many friends. This product adds that little intangible (maybe convenience or security) that makes a headset usable. In the mornings, I remove my headset from the charger, attach to the BlueCLIP, clip to my shirt pocket, then anytime I hear my phone ring (whether it's in my briefcase or suit jacket pocket), I know exactly where the headset is and don't miss calls.
    I recommended this to a friend, who has a long commute. After a few weeks, I asked how he liked, and he said "It's now a part of me. I don't go anywhere without it." May sounds a little extreme, but I feel the same way too.
    Wanted to share as I learned about the product from this discussion board, thanks!

  • Can't get MacBook Pro to recognize Motorola H500 Bluetooth headset

    Hello all,
    I am trying to get my MacBook Pro to recognize a Motorola H500 Bluetooth headset. Bluetooth is ON and "discoverable" on my mac. When I go to system preferences and click "bluetooth", then "devices", the headset won't show up (it is turned ON). I tried clicking "Set up new device..." and won't work either.
    Any tips on how i can make this work?
    Thanks a lot!

    You need to put the H500 into discoverable mode:
    turn it off
    hold "call button" for 5 seconds or until the sold blue circle light appears
    now go do the bluetooth set up on your Mac....your H500 will show up and then just click thru continue....

  • Motorola H300 bluetooth headset and 3.0

    I have a Motorola H300 bluetooth headset. It pairs and shows as connected with my Iphone 3G S. However, it works only with the phone. I understood that the new 3.0 OS would allow bluetooth devices to work with the IPod functions also. Am I correct? Any suggestions as what may be wrong?

    I have a hands free earpiece headset I've been using for months. It would stay connected and in standby mode until a call came in — one touch and it would answer a call. I recently got a Insignia stereo Bluetooth headset in anticipation of 3.0 and they work great.
    The problem is my hands free earpiece headset also picks up the stereo from the iPod. This headset, will no longer go into standby because it's always connected. I can't listen to my iPod in my car and keep the earpiece on standby as in the past. I now have to completely shut off the earpiece just to listen to music through my car stereo. When a call comes in I have to boot up the earpiece. This takes longer, and while driving, more distracting.
    Any ideas on how to keep the iPhone from playing the iPod through my hands free telephone earpiece?

    I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5.  I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s.  However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call.  I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss.  The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens.  All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
    Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
    This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue

    If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:
    http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-legend (next paragraph is taken from the review since there is no direct link to the review.
    Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
    Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
    I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue.  I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web.  Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

  • Bluetooth Headset does not play sound from ipad touch 4th gen. ipod touch 4th gen. although it does pair ok! Please help!

    HM1200, BH99b, JabraBT2045 bluetooth headsets do not play music from ipad, ipod touch 4th generation, although it does pair ok. Why is that if it is compatable, why it does not play any music or sound via bluetooth headsets.  When I pair the headsets to Mac it does play music via bleutooth headsets!  Please help me!  Also, how to connect several or two bluetooth headsets to one device: Mac, or iPad iPod touch 4th generation? Please, reply as soon as possible!

    Your iPad has built-in WiFi. You cannot and don't need to use the USB dongle.
    Look in Settings > WiFi. Find the SSID of your wireless router, tap it's name and enter the WiFi password.

  • Using my Motorola V3 as a bluetooth headset.

    Hi
    While messing around with iChat AV i managed to set up my bluetooth Motorola V3 as a headset. But typical me, I didn;t make a note of how I did it and now when I try to set it up it wont appear in the microphone list etc.
    Any suggestions on how I can do it? I've read previous posts about this topic and people say it cant be done but it has worked for me in the past.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I couldn't get it to work so i got a bluetooth headset instead.

  • Bluetooth Headset Profile on IOS 4 Ipod Touch?

    Has anyone checked to see if they added the Bluetooth Headset Profile (cellphone style Mike and Headphone) to the Ipod touch in IOS 4?
    It wasn't there in 3.X (just AD2P for stereo sound), and I just wondered if they slipped it in unannounced is IOS 4.

    Try a restart first (hold down the on/off button until you get the red slider and turn it off).
    If that doesn't do it, reset it - hold down the Home button and the on/off button until you see the Apple logo.

  • Best adapter for a Motorola HS-850 bluetooth headset

    Hello,
    I just purcahsed a Motorola HS-850 Bluetooth headset for my cell phone, and wanted to use it to make skype calls aswell. What are my choices for a USB bluetooth adapter (dongle)??? I would prefer something that isn't the D-link (far to expensive) but works just as well. Im not really sure what to go for?

    The D-Link DBT-120 is the only adapter officially supported by Apple, with firmware updates etc. So if you want to guarantee the best compatibility with your Mac, that's the one to get. Try eBay if you want to save some cash.
    Buying a cheaper one may be a false economy, because if you do have problems, you'll end up having to buy another one anyway.

  • How do I get my Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headset to work with the iPhone5?

    My excellent Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headset worked fine with my 4S but I can't get it to even be recognized by my new iPhone5...does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Try resetting the sd10-hd .  That solved my problem. I was able to pair with my iPhone 5.
    Follow this link to instruction to reset the s10-hd, https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/ 59350/p/1422,2690,7709
    Essentially hold down the + and 0 (power button) until the LED turns blue. Then power off the headset and power on.  Put the iPhone in discoverable mode and they should now sync.
