Pairing bluetooth speaker

I have a new Kakkoi WOW speaker. I can pair it with my iphone 5, but when I try to pair it with my computer I get this error message:
"The pairing attempt was unsucessful. Make sure your headset is in range of this computer, turned on, and discoverable.When ready click Connect to try again."
There's no option to use it as a speaker, and it automatically picks "headset". Also, I'm running os x 10.5.8

1. Clear the memory of the Bluetooth speaker
2. Make sure all Bluetooth devices nearby are turned off
3. Make sure speaker are within range of device
4. Turn speaker off and on again
5. Make sure it's not muted

HT2995 Trouble Pairing Bluetooth speaker with Mac Mini

I can't seem to get the Bluetooth on my Mac Mini to recognize my LG wireless speakers (though the Bluetooth on my iPad recognizes the LG wireless speakers). Any thoughts on how to correct this?
The Mac Mini simply does not seem to recognize that the LG speaker exists. I know the LG speaker is in Bluetooth discxoverable mode, as my iPad sees it.

You do have the iPad's BT turned off, right, when you try to pair with the Mac?
Better yet, on the iPad make sure the speakers are unpaired-removed, and then try pairing with your mini.

Cannot pair bluetooth speaker with iPhone 6

My JBL Chrome worked perfectly with my iPhone 5. Now the iPhone 6 will not pair with the speaker, yet I'm able to pair the phone with my car (Infiniti Q50).The guy at the Apple store told me it likely is a bug in ios8. Is this true? Do I have to wait for several updates to restore former functionality. I'm disappointed.

I would try to reset the speaker. If you were able to pair it with the iPhone 5, and you activated the 6 from a backup of the 5, the speaker may be "confused" with a device of the same name. Also, the speaker may not be able to pair with more than one device and needs to be reset. Check the speaker's user guide to see how to reset the device and then put it into discovery/pairing mode again. Then attempt to pair with the phone.

Bluetooth speaker will not pair

My JBL Flip 2 Bluetooth speaker will no long pair or connect to my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, OS X Yosemite 10.10.3).
I have tried:
Following the instructions provided with the speaker
Resetting my PRAM
Restarting the computer
Restarting the speaker
Restarting Bluetooth
Restarting the computer with Bluetooth disabled and re-enabling it
Screaming at it
Repairing disk permissions
Removing the original pairing that was not connecting
Now it will not even pair. Its not even being detected.
My iPhone 5S detects it without issue. It was not working, then it was, now its not working again. I can airdrop between my Macbook and my iPhone without issue.
Please, please help. Gah.

Do you have the other device that it was paired with? Sometimes you have to un-pair a device before you can pair with another. For the iPad you do this by douching the button that say forget this device. Removing the battery from the speakers for a little while may also work.

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.

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?

Bluetooth speaker - JBL Flip . Bluetooth discovers it but is unable to pair

The speaker is recognized as JBL Flip and says ready to pair. I click on it and click on pair. It fails and disappears. The bluetooth continues to search and finds it again... and I get the same results. It works when directly plugged into speaker jack.

MUSIC SKIPPING OR PLAYING TOO FAST WHEN PAIRED WITH A BLUETOOTH SPEAKER?

Hi
I am writing to help others with this problem - there seem to be a number of posts about this, which have not been resolved.
I have just bought a Veho bluetooth speaker, which pairs and works perfectly with my brother's phone. However, although it does pair with my iPhone 4S, when I playback any music from my library, it sounds like a chipmunk is singing - it plays far too quickly and sometimes skips large parts of the song.
This is a firmware issue but can easily be solved by downloading the free app 'TuneMob' from the store (it is free). You can simply add albums from your library to its interface and it plays them perfectly through any speaker, irrespective of which OS you have installed. I hope this helps you!

Try resetting the PMU/SMU and PRAM/NVRAM. You'd need to identify the mode of resetting depending on the model of your G5 iMac. The Apple support sites that would help you for this are –

Bluetooth Speaker sometimes missing in the output list

Hi all !
My computer runs on the latest version of Gnome Shell, with pulseaudio as the sound manager.
I have a bluetooth speaker (Creative D100); I can pair it with my computer without any problem, but *sometimes* after having paired it successfully, the speaker doesn't appear in the list of the output device of the Pulseaudio panel. I need to either un-pair the speaker, restart Gnome-Shell, or sometimes even reboot my computer.
It doesn't occur every day, but when it does, that's pretty annoying.
I've searched on the net, but so far I could only find people who simply had a library missing or so, which doesn't seem to be my current problem =/
Does this sound familiar to somebody ?

How can I set up a bluetooth speaker with a mac mini?

Hi
I'm using a late 2012 Mac Mini processor, OS X 10.9.4 -- can't find any info on how to set up wireless Bluetooth speaker.
Would appreciate any help. Thanks

OK, thank you for that information. On your Mac, go to the Apple logo at the very top left. Then go to System Preferences. Then go to the Blue bluetooth logo to open bluetooth settings. In the window that opens, you'll see a + in the bottom left. Just before you click this, press the pair button on your speaker. The Mac will now search for the speaker, which is now discoverable. When you see the speaker, double click it in the list. Once you are connected, go back to system preferences, this time opening up the sound settings. In the list of speakers, select your Bluetooth one. it will now be highlighted and all audio will go through it. To go back to your regular speakers, either turn off the Bluetooth speaker, or go back to the sound settings and highlight 'build in speakers'. *****

Is it possible to connect a Bluetooth speaker to my receiver STRDN850?

I would like to use a wireless bluetooth headset or a bluetooth speaker to listen to CDs played on my receiver. I am able to pair my bluetooth phone to my receiver but can't see any way to connect bluetooth in the other direction. Any ideas?

Hi barfia,
You cannot connect a wireless speaker in this receiver because it doesn't have the capability to send bluetooth signals. It can only receive bluetooth signals however you can connect wired and model specific wireless headphones in this receiver. Model specific because these headphones comes with a transmitter(MDR-RF985RK). Transmitter that will send the signal to the headphones. Stand alone bluetooth headphones will not work. Use the PHONES jack in front of the receiver to connect your device.
Thanks,

HT204368 I have a Tango TRX bluetooth speaker that is suddenly not able to connect to my New iPad. It worked fine for a few eeks and now I get the previously unseen "This device not supported by iPad" message. It was supported for three weeks. Thanks

Most of the question is in the discussion header. I have a Tango TRX bluetooth speaker that worked fine for three weeks with my third generation iPad. I started having trouble connecting and recieved the "not supported by iPad" message. It connects just fine until I open any app that requires sound and at thet point I recieve the message and the device disconnects. The Tango still pairs flawlessly with my laptop which is not an Apple product. How could a product suddenly become unsupported?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.
