Procedure to pair a bluetooth headset to the iphone??
This is the first time that I have ever used the bluetooth on my iPhone. I just received a Motorola H550 bluetooth headset. This lists the iPhone as compatible. Is there some special procedure to follow to get it to pair? I turned on the headset and let it come on completely, then went to setting and turned on the bluetooth on the iPhone. It recognized the H550 Device, but the spinning gear continued and showed "Not Paired". It also says "Now Discoverable" Did I miss something? It has been updated to 1.1.4.
Thanks

Hey Herschel,
It sounds like you'll need to put the Motorola headset into a discoverable mode. Generally this is done by holding down a button or pressing multiple buttons until you see it blink. You'll have to check the manual that came with the headset to find the exact way to make the headset discoverable.
This article walks you through pairing the iPhone with a third party headset.

Can anybody actually RECOMMEND a bluetooth headset for the iPhone?
I see a lot of bad experiences, & not too many good ones.
Can anybody actually RECOMMEND a bluetooth headset for the iPhone? I just need one that works, with very little features (ie: redial button on headset).I've actually posted another thread, and I don't mean to take over the original members post, but I'm hoping this will help others who may be having the same problems. Thanks to all of you who have posted your results with the various headsets!
I am now on my third iPhone 3G in under six months. The first one would drop calls when the corded Apple headset was plugged in during the call, and the second would cause the caller on the other end to hear an echo when I used the Apple headset. Plus, it did not respond well at all to Bluetooth headsets. Tons of static, call echoes, and noise cancellation not working.
My experience with the Jawbone 2 has been disappointing. I have heard way too many testimonials of satisfied iPhone users who love the JB2, so I'm beginning to think it's just me. I went through FOUR Jawbone 2 devices in under a month, all because of poor sound quality, and the Noise Assassin not working properly.
The white rubber tip sat very well against my cheek, and the default medium earpiece fit perfectly in my ear and was very comfortable to wear. Everything seemed to be in order, but the same problems would arise over and over again. I would get poor sound quality on both ends of the call, and people could hear the tv or the radio playing in the background on my end.
Maybe the structure of my head isn't suited for the JB2, but I have a very normally proportioned head. I refuse to believe it's the device——It has been rated highly by too many people to be the issue. I've all but given up on it, regrettably.
The Plantronics Discovery 665 I tested had issues with static. I would hear it on my end, even thought the phone was no more than two feet away.
I'll give the Plantronics 925 a try, as well as the Blue Ant V1. We'll see... -
Using Multiple Bluetooth Headsets With the iPhone
I have a jawbone 2 & blueant v1 bluetooth headsets both paired & working with my 3G iPhone but i dont know how to switch between them. anyone know about this?
I have to reply here. I just came over after a horrible three weeks on a new BlackBerry Bold. I've been a BB user for several years and, being a Mac user, have LOVED the way my wife's iPhone worked, especially connection and updating from her iBook.
So, when I finally gave up on the BB and got the 3G I expected some things to be the same. One of them being the way the BlackBerry would virtually 'float' between Bluetooth devices, almost seamlessly. It took a while to get it working, but finally got it.
I have a Jabra BT500 earpiece, BlueAnt ST3 speakerphone in my car, and a Motorola Bluetooth device that adds my iPhone to the cordless phone network in my home.
The trick is to PAIR EACH DEVICE as if it were the ONLY DEVICE CONNECTED. DO NOT UNPAIR the first device and move on to device #2. Enter the code, let it PAIR and move on to device #3 doing the same. Once you've done all of your devices, you simply move 'into the zone' of each one and they should connect.
The Jabra, obviously, had to be turned on, but paired immediately. The BlueAnt ST3 turns on when it senses movement in the car, i.e. opening the door, etc. Once it's on, it pairs immediately. When I get home and are out of my car, I place the iPhone near the Motorola device and my cell number is now part of my home cordless system.
If I look at the Bluetooth setup in the general prefs, it shows all three devices as being paired. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!! IT ALL WORKS!!! -
What would you consider to be the "best" non-bluetooth headset for the Iphone 5? I have had some serious health issues of which could be stemming from the bluetooth and I need great sound quality both listening and speaking. Any suggestions?
Problem with wired headsets is that there is not std for mic in headsets so if its not 100 % made for iphones it will not work

How do I pair a bluetooth headset when my MAC doesn't recognize it? The hedset work properly because they are paired with my iPhone. The headset is not an Apple product. It'd 3rd party.
Ask the headset manufacturer.

when bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone but it rings through the bluetooth headsets?
In other phones, you can hear the phone ringing and if it was connected to bluetooth, you could pick up the call from the bluetooth headset.
Here with iphone, if its connected to bluetooth headset, it only rings through the headset, which means that if you dont have the headset in the ear all the time, you cannot know that you have an incoming call or message.
Any ideas - solutions - comments please?I'm having the same problem. I had a plantronics 975 (which I lost, sadly). When connected, the ringer would always be routed through the bluetooth and the iPhone's external speaker. When in silent mode, the iPhone would only vibrate, but I could still hear the ringer in the bluetooth.
I just bought a new Plantronics Voyager+. Now when it's connected, all sounds are routed to the earpiece - including the taps, etc. The iPhone's speaker doesn't ring at all, unless the bluetooth is disconnected or powered off. I'd really like to be able to hear both, like I was before. This is an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 (latest version, not sure what it is exactly). Haven't updated software/firmware in between bluetooths, just changed the earpiece. -
I am having trouble connecting my bluetooth headset on the ipad 1. I have now been told that Apple is only allowing several headsets to be used with Ipad. Is this correct? I have a grundig headset and a plantronics headset but these can both not be found

can two bluetooth headsets access the ipad at the same time, for example, to watch a movie together on an airplane trip? does bluetooth work when the ipad is in airplane mode?
This article: http://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/97903 helped to clear up confusion I had re your point
when Airplane mode is on you can turn on either or both wifi and bluetooth
It makes it clear that airplane mode turns off processes involving cellular networks, which doubtless involve rather strong transmissions, while allowing others such as wi-fi and Bluetooth. I'm puzzled though why the iPod rather than the iPhone has the airplaine mode when it has no cellular capacity. Perhaps it's there but doesn't actually do anything other than making it possible to conform to a request to switch into airplane mode, and display an airplane icon to satisfy flight attendants who are checkng up on you! -
I'm working on trying to pair my bluetooth keyboard with the Mac. They seem to pair just fine, I can enter the code but when it's time to "enter" it won't take it. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong??
Thank you!!Hi, Chris.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.

Bluetooth Headset Loyalty to iPhone?
I paired my apple bluetooth headset with my iphone through the dual-charge dock, and I read somewhere on this forum that there is this loyalty between those two. Now as I was trying to pair the headset with my MBP, the bluetooth radar couldn't detect the thing, although I'm pretty sure it's turned on, and my iphone is no where near the headset (had to send it back to replace the battery, two days out of warranty and battery cracks, thanks apple!)
Anyone know a way to break the loyalty bond?To pair the headset with a Bluetooth enabled Mac using Mac OS X version 10.4.9 or later:
1. Open System Preferences and click Bluetooth.
2. If this is the first Bluetooth device you’ve set up, click the Set Up New Device button. Otherwise, click the Add button below the list of your existing devices.
3. Choose Headset.
4. Set the headset to be discoverable.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions. When prompted for a passkey, enter 0000.
To set the headset to be discoverable, so the other device can sense it:
1. Turn the headset off.
2. Press and hold the headset button for about eight seconds, until you hear the startup tones and then five quick high beeps. The headset remains discoverable for about five minutes. The status light blinks green for as long as the headset
is discoverable. -
Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac?
Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac? I don't mean both at the same time. I just think it's silly to buy a separate headset for each. I'd like to be able to sometimes use the headset with my Mac and other times use it with my iPhone. Is this possible? How hard is it to set up and is it annoying to switch over from one to the other.
The headset would be used 75% of the time with my iPhone.Contacts can be synced direct with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 via the iTunes sync process along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If you don't use Outlook for contacts - your Outlook address book is empty, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the Outlook address book. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data.
Or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 6, you can create your hotmail account using the hotmail account preset with the iPhone's Mail app per the instructions included with this link. If your iPhone 4 is not running iOS 6, you will need to manually create the account as an Exchange account.
http://www.wikihow.com/Sync-a-Hotmail-Account-on-an-iPhone
Regardless if you have any contacts available in your hotmail online address book, you should be provided a merge prompt when turning contacts on for over the air syncing with your hotmail account settings on the iPhone, which you want to select. This will merge your existing iPhone contacts with your hotmail online address book and merge your hotmail online address book with your iPhone contacts.
To have the contacts available on the iPhone 5, create your hotmal account with the Mail.app on the iPhone 5 followed by turning contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
Or after syncing your iPhone 4 contacts direct with your Outlook address book, sync your Outlook contacts with the iPhone 5. -

I have Sunglasses Bluetooth Headset and Apple Iphone 4, I Can Communicate Calls Using Headset. But I can't Listen Musics Using Headset.
The iPhone supports the following Bluetooth profiles. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
In order to play music through the headset, it must support this particular profile, A2DP. You can check the specs on the headset to see if it does support that. Not all headsets that support phone calls will support music. -
