Multiple Bluetooth devices

i have a Pioneer AVH-P8400BH receiver in my vehicle that has Bluetooth. The microphone pickup isn't great so I use a Bluetooth headset. Both work great individually but not together. Skype always defaults to the Pioneer since its first on my iPhone device list. It's possible to switch by toggling the headset off/on but I'm now losing sound on both devices if I need to toggle twice. I'm doing that if the Pioneer switches back to music.
I've tried disconnecting and calling again but I get the same result. I don't recall if I've closed the app and tried again. I'll give that a try.
Any ideas. This isn't much of a problem on the default iPhone telephone app since I can select the Bluetooth device to use. Better yet would be if iOS allowed me to reorder my Bluetooth devices so I could always default to my headset.

The name of the device comes from the device itself, thus there is no way to change this on the iPhone.
===============================================
Is this still true even for iOS5.0.1 & iPhone4S?
I just paired it to my 2011 car & the iP4S shows up on the bluetooth devices list as iOS.

Multiple Bluetooth Devices with different functions

Is it possible to run multiple Bluetooth devices at once?
For example, my BMW is currently paired to my phone and the integrated hands-free operates flawlessly. I would like to run a seperate A2DP device to my Aux input to be wire-free, but before I buy it, will I be able to run my BMW hands-free and my A2DP paired at the same time. Will the phone transfer to the BMW when an incoming/outgoing call comes? As far as I know the A2DP device has no microphone, so I don't believe it's meant for taking calls.
Thanks

I second that question for my Audi A4. Have the phone paired with the car via Bluetooth for calling, but don't want to use the Audi AMI cable for playing music, as that fixes the iPhone to the "Accessory enabled" screen ( know I can get around that by jailbreaking) and start Auto Play. I'd like to use the iSkin Cerulean RX Bluetooth dongle instead, and plug that into the Audo AMI cable.
But I'd have to have my iPhone paired to both the car (for phone) and the Cerulean RX (for A2DP audio) simultaneously. Is that possible? Anyone?

How do I connect multiple bluetooth devices to macbook pro

Hi,
I would like to connect bluetooth headset(Bose), my Magic mouse together to my macbook pro.
Also, If possible, I would like to use bluetooh headset and wired headset at the same time.
Is it possible, if yes, could some one guide me.
Regards
Sandy

Multiple Bluetooth devices may be connected to your computer at the same time.
Set up differs from device to device. The Bluetooth set up assistant should find new devices when they are turned on and in range of your computer.

Can I connect multiple bluetooth devices, to an IOS device

Hi I have a Logitech Ultrathin keyboard cover, for the new IPad. I'm using the keyboard, all the time my IPad is in use. And sometimes I want to connect my Bluedio R+ bluetooth stereo headset, with bluetooth 4.0 NFC technology. So my question is can I connect both of my external bluetooth devices, at th same time?
Best Regards Alican!

Yes.

Managing multiple bluetooth devices at home (permanently disconnect some)

Hi. Small apartment. Two rooms. Both have iMacs, and a wireless keyboard and wireless trackpad respectively.
So 2 iMacs, 4 bluetooth devices.
My iMac in my room keeps picking up the bluetooth keyboard and trackpad from the next room.
I keep "disconnect"ing the ones I do not need (by guessing, because their name shows up the same).
But the computer stupidly keeps switching them on again.
How can I permanently tell my iMac to ONLY connect itself to my keyboard and trackpad which are 10 inches from it, and NOT to connect to those that are in the next room?
Thanks!

System Preferences/Bluetooth - hover the cursor over the keyboard/trackpad you want to delete and an x should appear on the right edge.

Operating multiple bluetooth devices and "default ...

Hi everyone, I recently i got my self one of these bluetooth bracelets and as i have a stereo bluetooth kit in my car, i started to have problems with these connections.
They won't work together because both of them are recognized as audio devices for the n95. The bad thing is that i can't have the bracelet already paired with the phone in order to pair the bluetooth kit (the bracelet must be manually unpaired, turned-off, etc BEFORE THAT), and vice versa.
What i wanted is not to have to manually unpair anything before a new pairing process, and i thought that toggling an enhancement as default in settings, would do that, but it doesn't, and i don't know what's the use of it then.
Can you please point me a solution, or maybe a 3rd party software that can handle these bluetooth connections in a better way?

Thank you

Unfortunately, Bluetooth for the iPhone only works with phone calls. That's it. It will not let you transfer files to other Bluetooth devices, or stream audio to Bluetooth headphones or speaker systems.

Multiple bluetooth devices(Speakers) attached to Ipad mini

Hi There , I wonder if you can tell me if I can connect multiple ie 2 or 3 seperate bluetooth speakers to my Ipad mini as I have speakers in different rooms in the house and wanted to know if I can connect more than one at a time so I get music through the house , Thanks J

You can connect multiple, but the ipad is limited to playback on a single device.
There are methods to add splitters with additional bluetooth broadcasters to achieve what you want, but it is not an inexpensive option.
Itunes on a computer does offer multiple speaker options.

Is there no way to make the iPhone 3G support multiple bluetooth devices?

I use a bluetooth headset and my car has bluetooth support. My old phone would automatically connect to whichever device is on and in range. On the iPhone 3G, I have to manually unpair/pair each time I get home or leave home. This is very cumbersome. Is there no way around this and/or will there be a fix update out soon?

Go to the control panel/devices and printers, right click on the printer and then select printing preferences. There should be an option in the printing preferences for Page Order. Just change it to the other setting, click Apply then Ok. Print another document and see if page 1 is now on top.

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
It may depend on the manufacturer of the accessories. HP offers peripherals that can pair 5 devices to one USB receiver!

Yes. I'm sorry to see that no-one has replied. And it's now April.

Multiple Bluetooth devices for ipad

i want both of my kids to watch a movie on my iPad but I can't figure out how to get two Bluetooth headsets to workout the same time

This might seem really old fashioned, but you can buy a headphone splitter and plug two sets of headphones into the splitter, which will permit two sets of headphones to be used at the same time. A headphone splitter is pretty inexpensive too. Here's a link to some options I found.........

Connect other bluetooth device to mac once magic mouse is connected

Hi all,
First of all, I would like to apologize if a thread already covers this issue.
I am planning on getting a Magic Mouse. I understand that it pairs with the mac via blue tooth. My question is, will I still be able to pair another blue tooth device (phone) to my mac once the magic mouse is already connected.
Has anyone tried this?
Thanks in advance!

You can pair up multiple bluetooth devices at the same time, such as the Magic Mouse and a cell phone, no problem. My mouse can get a bit jerky while I transfer files, but that's the only problem I've seen.

Why won't my new iPhone 6 connect to some bluetooth devices automatically?

I purchased my iPhone 6 (64GB) last month and have been having trouble with it connecting to bluetooth devices ever since. I have to most up-to-date software (8.1.2). I listen to a lot of music and have multiple bluetooth accessories that I use to connect with my phone for playback. Because of this I always leave the iPhone's bluetooth turned on. The main problem I've been experiencing is automatically connecting to devices that have already been paired and saved to the phone's "My Devices" list. I drive a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek and while I had my iPhone 5 (with iOS8) I could hop in the car, turn it on, and since the bluetooth in the phone and car were both already turned on (and had previously been paired) they would automatically connect and I'd be listening to music immediately. Now, with my iPhone 6, that does not happen. I get in my car, turn it on, and with bluetooth turned on in the phone and the car I get no automatic connection. If I go into my phone's settings and manually select my car's bluetooth sometimes it will make a connection. Other times it won't and I actually have to forget the car on my phone and re-pair the two devices. (Once the phone is finally paired the bluetooth connection works perfectly.) This is extremely time consuming and annoying, and most definitely not the way these products are meant to function. I've tried lots of different ways to get around this. I've reset the phone's network settings, and have done a full system restore. At this point I'm not sure what else I could do other than going in and talking to someone at a Genius Bar. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi eighty1camaro,

Bluetooth devices lagging after wake from sleep sometimes.

I have the Apple bluetooth keyboard, magic mouse, and magic trackpad. All batteries are charged and I have tried others by the way. This issue only happens sometimes, as it has happened before, but stopped for a few months, and now happened again tonight. What is happening is that my laptop (macbook late 2009 with mac os x 10.7.2) wakes from sleep (all default energy saver settings set and I am able to wake the macbook with any of the bluetooth devices), and my bluetooth devices mentioned above are laggy for about 15-45 seconds. What i mean by laggy is that when moving the mouse across the desk after the login screen is already fully loaded, it jumps and is clearly not tracking like it usually does. The bluetooth trackpad and keyboard experience this same issue.
Now the thing that leads me to believe it's bluetooth or software is that my macbook's built in keyboard and trackpad do not lag and function correctly as soon as the computer is woken from sleep and prompts me with my login screen. This also leads me to assume that it's not my computer running slowly or having too many processes or not enough memory. This problem happens even if I have no programs running (other than OS X's default processes). I have taken my macbook into the Apple genius bar thinking it was a bluetooth hardware issue, but they ran checks and confirmed that it was not and obciously, we could not get the issue to reproduce their at that time. I would love to hear from anyone who has experiecned this before, or is currently. We need to get Apple's attention with this issue because they have not listened to me when I submit a feekback form. This has been happening since 10.7.0 by the way. Thanks and happy holidays.
macbook 6,1
8gb memory
mac os x 10.7.2 (happened on 10.7.0, and 10.7.1)
-I can wake my macbook with my bluetooth devices
-My built in macbook keyboard and trackpad do not experience this issue
-I don't see the "connected symbol" when the computer wake (everything is already connected)
-All default energy saver preferences set
-Using apple's rechargeable batteries for all three devices
-minimal processes running
-devices function as normal after 15-45 seconds (it's not my desk)

I've got what sounds like the same problem with my new unibody MacBook Pro.
I've had the problem with both 10.6.1 and 10.6.2.
I also find that a reboot fixes things. In my case, I can sleep/wake multiple times with
no problem, but once the BT goes unresponsive upon wake, every subsequent sleep/wake
will suffer the problem until I next reboot.
I also discovered that in my case I can re-pair the non-responsive devices (two flavors
of Logitech mice and an Apple wireless keyboard) while in sick-BT mode and they will
work until I next sleep/wake, whereupon they will again fail to connect and my
choice is either to re-pair yet again, or reboot and have the problem go away, at least
for awhile.
I'm trying to correlate my activity with my BT going out to lunch, but have yet to narrow
it down definitively. I have one or two data points that make me suspect it goes south
after I use VMware Fusion (Version 2), but I cannot yet rule that one completely in or out.

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups
