Motorola Hz800 Bluetooth headset shorts out MBA Bluetooth Module when plugged into MBA USB port for charging

This is the weiredest thing.  Everything is fine with my MBA, I have an apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse running smoothy then I plug in my Motorola HZ800 bluetooth headset using a USB to mico USB cable to my MBA to charge it and BAM! I get a the bluetooth logo with a sawtooth wave through it.  It shuts down the bluetooth module completely. I have to restart the computer to bring back the bluetooth module to life. And now my keyboard won't pair again, but that's a whole other issue.  Any reason why this would be?  Thanks.

Yes.  USB ports are limited to a maximum of 500 ma of current.  Check the current rating on the charger for your headset.  It is probably higher than 500 ma.  It overloads the port forcing it to shut down.

  • Cannot pair Sony MW1 smart bluetooth headset with Avantree Saturn (bluetooth dongle)

    How can I pair my Sony MW1 smart bluetooth headset with Avantree Saturn (bluetooth dongle)? It kept showing "codes not matching", which means the wrong passkey codes auto-entered. But I can't enter any right codes the Avantree Saturn needed ("0000","1111",.....). Or where can I find the information to solve the problem? Thanks!

  • I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

    I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

  • My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into a itouch radio.  When I take it out, it goes blank.  Why can I do?

    My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into an Itouch radio.  When I take it out of the charger, it goes blank.  The battery shows fully charged.  It appears that the battery is no longer charging.  What should I do?

    Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. If that fails, the battery may have gone kaput.

    Let the battery fully darain. After charging for an least an hour try a reset and restore. Use Recovery mode if necessary.
    If not successful, then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Any Bluetooth Headset Recommendations Out There?

    I realize the new 3G doesn't have voice-call activation (name recognition/dialing) capabilities... but interested on anyone out there that
    a. has Bluetooth headset recommendations?
    b. specifically around the Jawbone 1 and Jawbone 2?
    AT&T Stores indicate that the slimmer Jawbone 2 is a hot-sell, but has the highest return rate compared to the Jawbone 1? Jawbone 2 is more comfortable but its plastic contact with the jaw is not consistent, creating breaks in conversation for those on the receiving end? They also offered feedback that while both Jawbones are the best on the market, the Jawbone 1 is better, despite its bulky size. (I know, another bleed site for the controversial 3G battery life) Anyone's feedback will be appreciated. Thx

    If it was last yr. you must have tried that bulky Jawbone 1.. i can see where you would have been attracted to iPhones BT. I ended up getting the Jawbone 2 and after three days no problems and seemingly satisfied. Plantronics 800 series wasn't available (I think the 856 or 865?)
    Thanks for your input though... If I return my Jawbone 2 in the next week or so, I will chk out Apple's but its reviews on Consumer Reports and CNET Reviews were not very high to others out there? To each their own I guess... almost like having buy suntan lotion at a CVS with A LOT of different choices.

  • If the Apple Bluetooth Headset falls out of your ear, try an EarGel...

    For me, the perfect solution to fit (comfort and having it stay in my ear) has been to use a Jabra EarGel. I got them from Amazon, with each package containing three pair (small, medium and large)...
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004WINT/103-0456661-0716623
    The fit of the eargel on the Apple Bluetooth Headset is tight, so work it onto the headset carefully. But once it's in place, it will stay there with reasonable care inserting and removing it from your ear. Of course, if you just grab the boom of the headset and rip it out of your ear, the EarGel is gonna remain in your ear. Just gently pull the EarGel and it'll come out with the headset attached.
    I did first try a Griffin EarJam, but it stuck way out from my head, and in no way followed the line of my jaw (i.e., it kind of stuck out into space). Not to mention the fact that the EarJam is white, so it looked ridiculous. But the Jabra EarGel I am using is clear, and I end up with the absolutely perfect positioning.
    I know nobody wants to spend more money after the cost of the headset itself, but the EarGel pak is $9.00 and pretty much a no brainer.
    I couldn't be more pleased...

    Here's another option if the Apple Headset won't stay in your ear comfortably.

  • HT204387 How can I get my bluetooth headset to ring in my ear when I receive a text?? It works just fine when I get a call because I set it up that way when I went to settings

    I connected my iPhone 4S to a bluetooth headset, and I went to setting/general/access ability/ and whatever else to set it up to where when I receive a call it goes to my headset automatically, but when I receive a text it doesn't come through to my headset. How can I make my text ringtone go to my headset??

    The headset must support A2DP audio streaming and the notification sound has to be long enough that it actually kicks in and plays it.

  • HT6437 My itunes cannot locate my ipod. All the sync option are grayed out and diagnostics says that itunes cannot find usb ports and that no device is connected when it is. What should I do to solve this issue?

    So itunes is giving me problems. Since around Christmas time, itunes decided to stop reading my ipod. I connect it to my computer with the usb cable and my computer will recognize that a device is connected but itunes will not. If I go to file->devices and try to sync, all of my sync options are grayed out, while before it would just automatically sync.
    When I run diagnostics it tells me that under ports that it cannot find usb ports (it has a green circle?), a type of cable isn't found, and that no device is connected with the usb cable (which my ipod is). I have been trying to fix this issue but nothing is working. I've tried restarting my ipod, itunes, and my computer, i've also tried resetting my ipod and uninstalling itunes then reinstalling itunes but nothing seems to be working.
    Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

    Do the USB ports work for other devices?
    Does the iPod charge?
    See

    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • Help with audio out when plugging into 3.5" jack on a MacBook's combo input

    With my old iMac, I used to plug my guitar into the 3.5" microphone jack* and either used the computer's speakers or plug headphones into the separate headphone port for audio out.
    Now I have MacBook Air with a headphone/mic combo port. I checked the sound settings in System Preferences and couldn't select speakers for external audio. Is there a way to assign audio-out to the speakers and keep audio-in assigned to the mic/headphone port? Or am I going to need to buy some dongle or adapter now?
    *How did I connect a guitar to the 3.5" port? I used a generic computer speaker wire (3.5" on each side) and plugged a 3.5" to 1" adapter (the kind you use for stereo headphones) into the guitar.

    Hi Tim -
    Please bear with me because I am no Apple expert. However, I do remember reading something that might help you out.
    You wrote that you store your sound libraries are installed on an external drive. Someone, who posted either here or on another Logic bulletin board, basically stated that problems may occur if an external hard disk drive that carries the sound libraries is FAT32 or NTFS formatted (formatted for a Windows-based computer). Apparently, an external hard disk drive utilized for sound libraries should be formatted as *Mac OS Extended* (not journaled). (I hope that someone more expert on this subject will either validate this claim or suggest another option.)
    Try doing a Search in this forum for more information on this subject. But I think how that external drive is formatted might make a difference on performance for the Mac computer.
    I come from the PC world as well. I like both the Apple and PC systems. But I really like working with the Logic program.
    Good luck to you

  • Macbook Pro loses bluetooth functionality when plugged into thunderbolt display

    This a fix that I think should be out there, because I searched and searched for months, then just found the solution myself. Want to make sure someone else doesn't have to deal with what I've been going through...
    I've been dealing with bluetooth mouse, keyboard and trackpad dropping off unexpectedly on my MacbookPro Retina 15" ever since Yosemite. No bluetooth at all, even though it's showing that it is functioning normally. Usually this happened whenever I plugged in my thunderbolt monitor. It's maddening when you pop out for a meeting with your laptop, then get back to your desk ready to jam - then you're just frustrated clicking hopelessly on your mouse. Sometimes bluetooth comes backs, sometimes it doesn't until I restart. Turning bluetooth on or off had no affect. I came up with the weirdest fix yesterday, and so far it is working...
    1) turn your wifi off
    2) start clicking/moving your mouse, trackpad or keyboard until it gives you the "connected" notification on screen
    3) turn your wifi back on
    Weird! I made the connection when seeing people griping about wifi being hampered when bluetooth was on in Yosemite, and thought it might go both ways. Hope this helps.

  • I just moved to the UK and am trying to charge my computer yet it won't charge when plugged into the adapter, what am I doing wrong? I'm almost out of battery!!

    I just moved to the UK the US. I have a 2009 Macbook Pro and today attempted to charge it, with an adapter for the plug.  BUT I can't get the computer to charge, what am I doing wrong? I am almost out of battery! Help!

    To be on the safe side, get the travel pack for the magsafe; the UK 3-pin adapter replaces your 2-pin US adapter on the transformer.
    Meanwhile, check that the adapter you're using is compatible with the US 2-pin; most adapters sold in UK are for French and German 2-pin plugs, which are slightly differently spaced, so you may not be getting a proper connection.

  • Need bluetooth headset that is compatible with the iPhone and a blackberry

    Alright I have a blackberry curve right now because Ive been waiting for 2.0 to come out.
    Now that its here, I need a little bit more time to to gather up the funds to get the phone, but I need to get a bluetooth now for work.
    I'd like get a bluetooth now that I can use on my blackberry temporarily and then use it on my iPhone instead of having to fork over money twice.
    Now I really want to get the dock for the iphone and I think I have seen pictures of a dock for a phone AND bluetooth?
    Am I correct that this exsists?
    I've seen the apple bluetooths and they dont have a ring that goes around your ear like most and I'm worried that just sticking it in my ear is not solid enough.
    Normal music earphone buds dont seem to fit comfortablly in my ear, so I'd rather having something hanging from my ear as opposed to stuffed in it.
    So is there a bluetooth headset with an ear ring that will plug into an apple phone dock for charging?

    Not that we've heard, though I'd imagine that one will be coming eventually.
    If they are, and there is a universal hook that will clip on their ear piece, I would prefer to stick with the apple gear.
    Apple doesn't make one to my knowledge
