Powerbook and bluetooth headphone

When I try to pair my Motorola HT820 headphones with my Powerbook I am told my hardware does not support headphones. There seem to be other posts that indicate that people do use bluetooth headphones with power books. Whats the story?

It does appear to be the internal hardware on the powerbook. I bought an USB bluetooth addaptor (G-sat for about $15 on ebay) and now it works.

  • HT204387 Help with ipod touch and bluetooth headphones

    Hi
    I have an iPod Touch (5th gen) and I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth Headphones but my iPod can't find them.  I can connect them with my iPad no problem, but not my iPod.
    There's nothing on the headphones that I can change I don't think.
    Any suggestions??!
    Thanks
    Kerstey

    - Reset the headphones. Sometimes you have to do that to pair to another device. How yo do that depends upon the headphones
    - On the iPod
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Y will also have to rejoin all wifi netwporks

  • ITunes and bluetooth headphones

    Does the iPod part play music wirelessly via bluetooth?

    Phoenix_Rising,
    I tried to click the solved button yesterday but I keep getting an error.
    Thank you all for your helpful answers that is of course except the person talking about Menorca Spain. I didn't really get the relevance there.
    I do have a Jabra A120 and it is cool. I think it's kinda useless to have bluetooth built in that you cannot use for iTunes. So you have a wired ear piece for your music and a wireless for your phone conversations. It should definitely be integrated. I will provide feedback to Apple on this and hopefully they will get it sorted out sooner.
    Thanks again,
    me

  • Does use of bluetooth headphones disable your iMac's headphone jack?

    I know that if you plug corded headphones into your iMac, your iMac's internal speakers are automatically disabled.
    But, if you connect (pair) bluetooth headphones to your iMac, does that disable your iMac's headphone jack?  Or could you use corded and bluetooth headphones simultaneously?

    You can use any bluetooth stereo headphones with your Mac (stereo, A2DP, requires Leopard), though Apple doesn't make any or sell any made by third parties.

  • Bluetooth headphones playback issues with iOS 6

    Has anyone been experiencing some playback issues with the latest iOS 6 and Bluetooth headphones?
    A few weeks ago, I bought a pair of Sony's MDR-1RBT Bluetooth headphones and ever since I updated my iOS devices (4S & iPad 2), playback of tracks has been lagging for the first few seconds. Whenever I choose a song on my iPhone or iPad's player, I just can't hear its first 3~10 seconds. I've contacted Sony about this issue and they bluntly replied that it's Apple's issue, but when I contacted Apple, they referred me to their Bluetooth connectivity site. In other words, my problem still hasn't been solved.
    Could anyone help me solve this frustrating issue?
    Thanks.

  • My bluetooth headphones/-set problem?

    So, I bought these bluetooth headphones with a mic, I pair them with my Macbook.
    It says I can use it as audio in and audio out.
    But when I go to System Preferences, the headphones appear as Bluetooth Headset and Bluetooth Headphones. The microphone won't work unless I choose the Headset, but then the bluetooth connection crashes.
    When I go to audio-in, I see my built-in microphone and the bluetooth microphone. The problem comes when I choose the microphone. It gives me an error Bluetooth sound failed.
    I have to pair it every time just to get the normal sound to work, but my Mac just won't connect to the microphone?

    The type of headphone you describe can be used either as a headset or headphones, that's why you're given that choice. Connecting as headphones will give you better sound quality for music, whereas connecting as a headset will enable the mic for telephony, but the sound quality will be degraded.
    In addition to selecting the bluetooth device option, you may also need to go into the sound settings in System Preferences with it connected and make sure it's selected as the audio input and output device.
    Otherwise, bluetooth dropouts are an unfortunate but fairly frequent occurrence with OS X bluetooth. You might try deleting it from the bluetooth devices list and then pair it and go through the setup again.

  • Bluetooth headphones in 8.1 won't switch between laptop and headphones

    can set speakers or headhones as default but won't swich back and forth when push headphone on off button  worked perfect on old laptop with win7  now running win 8.1 on hp 13 split x2
    turns off headphones totally (need t factory reset) and shuts off music playing until restart

    Hi zimmetp,
    If I understand correctly you have paired a Bluetooth headphone to your notebook and it works fine. The problem arises when you go back to your regular notebook speakers and/or headphones and the sound doesn't work.
    Are you turning off the Bluetooth when you try to go back to regular sound? If the computer still sees a connection to the Bluetooth headphones and they are set to default then it will continue to use those and not the regular ones.
    What is your product number?

  • Use the headphone jack output and bluetooth at the same time

    I am going to buy a blue-tooth headset for my 3GS.
    Am I able to use the blue tooth mic and the headphone plug on the 3GS in the phone conversation?

    Now I listen the music with the Ipod through headphone amplifier for better sound quality. The amplifier is plug into the dock port. I have to buy a bluetooth headset come with the 3.5mm jack. I want the sound output still from the headphone jack or line-out. The bluetooth headset work like a cordless mic. Also, the headphone amplifier still getting work.

  • Looking for a bluetooth headphone for my Macbook Air and Ipad Mini, I am not looking for a headphone that needs a transmitter to be connected to the source rather a headphone that can be connected directly via bluetooth to the source device

    I am desperately looking for a bluetooth headphone that would be compatible to my Macbook air and Ipad mini both. I am more of looking for a headphone that does not need a transmitter device to be connected to the source (in this case Macbook Air and Ipad Mini) and headphone acting as a receiver, rather need a headphone that would be connected directly via bluetooth to the source, it would be great if multiple apple devices be connected simultaneously. Please suggest some good headphones.

    Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
    Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
    The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
    This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
    Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)

  • I use a 2003 FW800 MDD desktop, with dual 1.25 GHz processors, and OS10.4.11, and with native Bluetooth card, won't recognize a newer Bluetooth Headphone set as an Input or Output device in System Preferences

    I use a Mac 2003 FW800 MDD desktop with dual 1.25 GHz processors, 2 GB memory, and a native Bluetooth card installed. I use OS10.4.11.  The FW800 was the only MDD that could use Bluetooth natively, as an optional installation.  I use the installed Bluetooth to run an Apple Aluminum Keyboard, and would like to use it with a new (2010) Samsung SBH-600 Bluetooth Headphone set, but, although the set will pair with the computer, and is recognized in both the System Profiler, and the Bluetooth section of System Preferences, it is not recognized in the Sound preferences section of System Preferences as either an Input or Output device.  Only the installed external Apple speakers are recognized.  I'd like to know if there is anything that can be done to make the Bluetooth system installed work with these headphones - either something that can be changed in the computer settings, or an added external Bluetooth device with different Bluetooth capabilities.

    It it may be that you are running either an outdated BT software or the firmware of the card is not up to date.
    What version is your BT software? Is it later than 1.5?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1209
    Firmware:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL354
    Along with the firmware, it is likely that the headphones require a later BT revision than you are running. The headphones need rev.2.
    You may need to move to Leopard for support.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL889
    It also may be that headphone support is limited to iChat or the like in Tiger.....
    If you go to a USB BT dongle, D-Link often gets the nod as having native compatibility in OS X.

  • I would like to connect both my iphone and ipod to my bluetooth headphones at the same time. Is there anything that I can buy to accomplish this

    I am trying to connect both my ipod touch 5h gen and also my iphone 5c to my bluetooth headphones at the same time. I have been told because of the way the operating system works this is not possible. I used to be able to do this on my old  non apple handset.
    The reason I would like to do this is because when I am listening to my ipod and have my phone in my pocket it is not connected to bluetooth and I am missing important phone calls some of which are business calls.
    Is there any type of device that i can get from apple to allow this to work.
    Regards
    Bodi

    The iOS implementation of the Bluetooth Protocol does not permit use of a Bluetooth device with more than one source at a time.

  • Backbeat 903 Bluetooth Headphones and iOS4

    I have a pair of Backbeat 903 headphones (originally from Altec Lansing, now Plantronics) that I love, and they've worked great with my iPhone 3Gs for 6 months.
    I just upgraded to iOS4 on the iPhone, and I found that the Play/Pause toggle button on the headphones no longer works correctly. If the music is already paused, it does nothing. If the music is playing, the button makes the audio cut out for a few seconds while the track keeps playing, then the audio comes back in after a few seconds.
    I wondered if something had happened to the Backbeat's button, so I looked into exchanging it under warranty. Before sending it, though, I purchased a new pair. I just got the new pair and they are doing the same thing, which means this is probably an iPhone software issue or Bluetooth issue.
    Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

    I'm relieved -- I thought I had done a reset before, but I guess I didn't follow all the way through.
    My bluetooth issue was fixed by holding down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time, waiting through the power down screen, blackout, and finally the silver Apple logo.
    When I repaired with the bluetooth headphones, the play/pause toggle switch worked as expected.
