SBH9150 philips bluetooth headphone not detected in macbook pro retina 13"

I just purchased an SBH9150 philips bluetooth headphone. But my macbook pro retina 13" could not detect it. Anybody can help? It is perfectly working with my iphone 5.

Unpair it from your phone and then try pairing it to your Mac.
Does the Mac see any BT devices like KB or mouse?

  • No pairing a philips bluetooth headphones to a new macbook air

    I have a new macbook air with OS lion and philips bluetooth headphones model SHB6 100/5. The headphones are recongnised and connect to the laptop but would not pair. Any idea about how to solve that problem?

    You need Mac App Store to download OS X, and it's only in Macs, so you have to download 10.8 in the MacBook

  • Freed memory not available 2012 MacBook Pro Retina

    I have a 500 GB flash storage drive on my 2012 MacBook Pro Retina. In a bid to run things faster for my music production, I've moved my large ITunes library onto an external hard drive. I backed everything up and trashed the iTunes folder after the external was all working, repaired disk permissions and restarted but my freed memory is still not showing. Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

    Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It will show all of your files and the respective sizes.  See if this will assist you ion detecting the problem.

  • Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter not connecting on MacBook Pro Retina

    I recently purchased the Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter to connect to my 13in MacBook Pro Retina Late 2012 (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to a hardwired internet connection for faster downloads. However, when I connect the ethernet cord to the adapter nothing happens and only the wifi connection is identified.
    Ethernet or Thunderbolt Ethernet are not an option in the System Preference > Network. Also, either connection are options when trying to add a network interface ( System Preferences > Network > + > Interface).
    I have tried several fixes like Resetting PRAM or Removing Network Preferences File. The NetworkInferences.plist and Preferences.plist files did get recreated after reboot, but only the WIFI interface shows up.

    I am sure the Thunderbolt ports are functional since I am able to connect my display using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter
    Could I have corrupted the Network Preference File or is could the Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter damaged?
    Please help.

    I had this problem, too, and an Apple Support call and Genius Bar visit later, I had the answer: if you're using Network Locations that preexist your Thunderbolt display, it doesn't seem to auto-add the possibility of "Display Ethernet" to your available network ports. To solve this, either:
    Create a new Location in your Network system preferences. It will finally detect the "Display Ethernet" and use it. It'll slowly change from disconnected to No IP to green-is-for-go.
    or
    Fix an existing Location by clicking the + to add a port and choosing Display Ethernet. It'll slowly change from disconnected to No IP to green-is-for-go.

  • Old MagSafe Airline Adapter not working with MacBook Pro Retina

    I've got an old MagSafe Airline Adapter (one I bought when it first came out) that I'm trying to use with my MacBook Pro Retina (using a MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter). Sometimes the light is green, sometimes it is off, sometimes the battery icon in the menu bar shows plugged in, sometimes not, but in any combination, the machine is not maintaining charge; the battery discharges at a normal rate for just being on battery. For giggles, I borrowed my seatmate's year-or-two-old MagSafe adapter (the one with the right-angle plug) and plugged it into my machine (also using the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converter). The light on that one turns orange, and though the battery icon shows "Not Charging", the battery is maintaining charge with the newer adapter. (My adapter, BTW, is able to maintain the charge on her 13" MacBook Pro.)
    Was there a change to recent versions of this adapter to make the new ones work with the Retina MacBooks where the old one will not?

    the green light on the mag safe turns on?
    you should reduce your usage to a very minimal amount as I'm sure the airline doesn't output a strong enough signal for you to be running full screen films with high res. Maybe you should close your macbook P and see if it is charged after a little while of not using it.
    turn your screen lights down, turn the sound gHZ down, quit all the downloadin'.
    if you must run flash make sure you have the latest version (from the adobe site).
    You're computer is intense and if you use it more then it's gaining, of course it going to be draining .
    But this is probably moot since you're probably on said plane now. or was.
    I'd imagine if you're not satisfied with the product you should return it detailing your situation.

  • Mercury Playback Engine not available on Macbook Pro Retina 15"

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook Pro Retina 15" with 16gb of RAM and a 500GB SSD, and am trying to enable Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL) on a legitimate copy of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.  For some reason the selection for that option is shaded and stuck on Software Only.  I have tried installing and enabling the nVIDIA CUDA driver but nothing has changed.  How can I fix this? Thanks.

    Looking at this, it doesn't seem that the Retina MacBook Pro's NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M is on the list. And the NVIDIA CUDA driver will give you nothing but heartache (a frequent source of kernel panics).
    You might want to take your question to the Adobe Premiere discussion boad to see if there are any current 'workarounds' -> http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere.

  • ShureSM58 not working on MacBook Pro Retina

    Hello,
    Basically, I have bought the Shure SM58 microphone to record audio voice on my MacBook Pro Retina, but it doesn't seem to work.. The specifications and the seller clearly told me that the audio jack included output and input, is there anything I am doing wrong or I should know of? Please help!
    Michael Lafond

    The SM58 uses a 3 pin xlr connector, how are you connecting to a Mac?
    Where do you connect this? with some adaptor I assume (as there is no balanced microphone socket on any Mac)

  • Can't get bluetooth headphones to work with MacBook Pro

    I just bought a pair of Bluetooth stereo headphones.  They work fine with my iPad and my iPhone.  I paired them successfully with Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro.  However, when I try to use them with my MacBook Pro it asks if I want to use them as stereo or mono.  No matter which I choose I immediately get the error message "There was an error connecting to your headset.  Make sure it is turned on and within range."  How do I solve this?

    There is a forum however it's not the most intuitive to locate. It's located in the Snow Leopard forum and can be found at:

  • Samsung SSD 840 EVO not detected in MacBook Pro 2012.

    Hello,
    In January I had a problem with my computer where it would overheat, the battery would die quickly, and the overall computer speed was slower than a turtle for even the most basic functions. I brought my computer to a MacMan retailer and they fixed the issue. I then got my MBP back and it worked fine for about a month. It then repeated the same symptoms it had before I got it fixed. I talked to my roommate and did some research and ended up purchasing the Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250gb to replace my Hard Drive.
    I transferred all my data to the new SSD and then installed the SSD to the internal bay where the hard drive sits without any problems. After the SSD was in place I booted up the computer and I got a "flashing folder with question mark." The SSD was not internally recognized by my computer. I then tried to put my Hard Drive back in to see if it would be recognized and it was not. However, both the SSD and Hard Drive are externally recognized via USB enclosure. I have been working on this for a couple days and am getting frustrated.
    I have tried a number of fixes I thought would surely work. I reformatted the SSD to the appropriate Mac format that every forum and website recommend: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that does not work. I have reinstalled OS X Yosemite, I have tried updating the SSD Firmware through USB. Nothing has worked yet. I have tried using Apple's internet recovery system and neither drive is recognized when inside the computer. My best assumption but least favorable is the Cable within the MacBook Pro that connects to the Hard Drive/SSD is faulty. I fear that it may be faulty since now neither the SSD or Hard Drive is detected when they are installed in the MacBook Pro, only when external.
    Can anyone please help me figure out what could be wrong? If you need more information just ask and I will do my best to answer them to your satisfaction. Anyone input, conclusion, or direction would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank You for your time and knowledge!

    You have already defined the probable cause, the internal SATA cable.  For verification, take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.  It is not an expensive repair, even if done by Apple.
    Ciao.

  • HT6114 Camera not detected on Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.2

  • ITunes purchased movies do not run on macbook pro retina display - Error message: HDCP not supported.

    Hello community,
    If i try to play a iTunes purchased movie on may Macbook Pro 15 Retina, a Error message comes up "HDCP not supported". I try to run it on the notebook screen, I have not plugged in any external device (monitor, beamer..).
    Full Error message in german:
    Der gewählte Film kann auf dem angeschlossenen Bildschirm nicht wiedergegeben werden.
    Dieser Film kann nur auf Bildschirmen wiedergegeben werden, die HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) unterstützen.
    Any ideas?

    I had this same problem.  What worked for me- not sure which one did it, but I went to System Preferences-Displays, and I turned off "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" and I also changed my resolution from "Best for retina display" to scaled "More Space".  The other scaling options seemed to do similar.

  • WD My Passport drive works on old usb2 Macbook, but not on usb3 Macbook Pro Retina 13" Late 2013

    I have a 1TB WD My Passport drive that will not mount in finder or even appear in Disk Utilities in OSX Mavericks 10.9.1. It does however appear in System Report under the USB heading as My Passport 0748, but shows 480mb/sec speed rather than USB3 speed.
    It works on my old Macbook pro, which is a USB2 machine, perfectly well.
    Has anyone found a workaround to this? I have looked high and low for a solution but none has nailed it. Could it be a problem specifically with the USB 3 driver in OSX? Or maybe even the drive itself?
    Kind Regards

    Here is my post on another Forum. My problem with the UI is now solved :
    hi there,
    same problem here. i had a mba 13" 2012 and wanted to switch to rmbp 13 because i need more real estate.
    i sold the mba on ebay, but had a few days to compare my rmbp and mba side by side. both with exactly the same software configuration and OS Mavericks.
    the mba was obviously snappier and i didn't know why.
    after reading tons of threads, exchanging the rmbp one time and being frustrated i discovered this thread.
    so i downloaded RDM, set the resolution to 1680x1050 (non-high-dpi!!!) and there it is, a snappy rmbp with mavericks.
    (for me real estate is more import than a shiny retina thinggy, but also i don't see a bit difference between 1680 hiDPI and 1680 "normal")
    i suspect the os isn't yet optimized, but i am far away from a software expert.
    here is the link for RDM:

  • Why iphone 4s bluetooth is not compatible with MacBook Pro 13 new

    Both devices do not talk via Bluetooth. Their mutual compatibility will help in transferring stuff across both devices such as short video projects and personally designed songs.

    File transfer is not a supported Bluetooth protocol of the iPhone.

  • Thunderbolt ethernet en3 interface not appearing on MacBook Pro Retina

    2012 retina MBP, with a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter.  Fully up to date, including this week's Thunderbolt firmware update.  Plug the Thunderbolt ethernet adapter into any port -- the kernel sort of sees it, but nothing ever provides a network interface.
    Infuriatingly, I got it to work once after weeks of failure, but have never been to reproduce that fleeting success.
    I've seen and tried the comments in three seemingly-relevant threads:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19550825
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21335473
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17909404
    Like other reporters of similar problems, it's visible just fine in the system info:
    Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter:
      Vendor Name:    Apple Inc.
      Device Name:    Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
      Vendor ID:    0x1
      Device ID:    0x8003
      Device Revision:    0x1
      UID:    0x000100020014E9B0
      Apple Serial Number:    DTN22060026DWKHAR
      Route String:    3
      Firmware Version:    5.5
      Port:
      Status:    Device connected
      Link Status:    0x2
      Port Micro Firmware Version:    0.0.8
    It's getting power, at least, because the switch link light comes on when a cable's plugged in.
    And the kernel recognises it in either Thunderbolt port, at least to some degree:
    IOThunderboltSwitch(0x0)::listenerCallback - Thunderbolt HPD packet for route = 0x0 port = 1 unplug = 0
    [ PCI configuration begin ]
    PCI configuration changed (bridge=58 device=5 cardbus=0)
    [ PCI configuration end, bridges 14 devices 16 ]
    But no driver ever gets loaded, and the en3 device never appears.
    I've tried installing AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext manually, which does nothing apparent.  Unloading and reloading produces:
    AppleBCM5701Ethernet:     ffff     ffff getAdapterInfo - Vendor is unknown
    AppleBCM5701Ethernet:        0        0 start - getAdapterInfo failed, giving up
    It's unclear if any of that is relevant or related to this adapter.
    I've borrowed another physical adapter and tried that; it gives the same result.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21335473 suggests creating a new Network Location.  When I do that, the Thunderbolt Ethernet device (which does exist in my "Automatic" location) doesn't even appear in the new location.  Clicking the [+] does not list it as an option to add.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17909404 suggests resetting the SMC, which I've done in theory -- although I can find no documented way to know that the SMC reset actually occurred.  Certainly there was no indication that I could see.  So I'm not convinced that it did anything at all.
    I'm out of ideas.  This seems to me much more likely to be a software issue than hardware, at this point.  Almost like it just can't figure out which driver it needs to load.
    I humbly throw myself upon your mercy and wisdom.

    I had this problem, too, and an Apple Support call and Genius Bar visit later, I had the answer: if you're using Network Locations that preexist your Thunderbolt display, it doesn't seem to auto-add the possibility of "Display Ethernet" to your available network ports. To solve this, either:
