Scala-500 headset and Bluetooth

When setting up my Bluetooth preferences, it said that I couln't use a headset with my present software, so I went to the Apple Bluetooth downloads Site, and downloaded the latest version of "Bluetooth 1.5 Update for Mac OS X" which would not install because it said that I already had the latest SW update. The Scala-500 Website offers no downloads. And I went to Belkin (I have a 100 yard Bluetooth USB adaptor) who had no Apple drivers to download (only WIN), but whoe's instatallation Mac_Man[ual].pdf says that I need a "Bluetooth MAC Driver 0.4" which I cannot even google and find. Does anyone know how to get a Scala-500 Headset to work with OSX 10.4.9 over a Belkin Bluetooth USB adaptor?

I just tried to pair it with a windows xp machine and it was detected as a phone.
I just tried again on the mini, and it's still showing up as a computer. So I started the assistant again, and this time chose "mobile phone" instead of "any device" and it showed up!
I swear it was showing "0 devices found" when I chose "mobile phone" before... anyway, finally, I have them paired, and the phone is available in isync. (I had previously paired up when it was showing up as a keyboard to see if it was in isync, but isync didn't see it)

HT4111 can headset and bluetooth speaker work at the same time?

On my iPad, can the headset option and a bluetooth speaker work at the same time? I am using the headset to listen to music, but I want my spouse to be able to hear the same music using a wireless bluetooth speaker in the other room.

Sorry, of course I tried it and it did not work!
To clarify, can it be MADE to work? The basic hook up does not seem to allow for both. I was hoping an intellengent, helpful person might be able to assist a novice.

IPhone 2.0 software and Bluetooth

I am sooo disappointed in the new software. I've successfully used my first generation iPhone with software 1.1.4 with my new Dodge uConnect system ($1,500 sound and bluetooth). Until today.
Upgraded my iPhone to version 2.0. Upgrade failed and got repeated error codes through iTunes. No big deal, I was on my way to Apple store to buy new 3G phone. 5 hours later, have new phone, and apple specialist fixed the original. New phone unable to use with uConnect. It pairs, but doesn't find the phone (?). Called Apple. They said they don't support auto bluetooth devices. (nice to know). Gave 3G phone to son, reactivated my original phone to me - still does not work.
Here I am $500 and one full day later and now there are TWO phones that won't connect to my system. PLEASE FIX THE BLUETOOTH!!!

Interesting, I have a Jeep 2007 Compass with uConnect. It pairs with the 3G but doesn't see the phone when I try to make a call, or when I get a call. Worked fine with the older iPhone.
I did something after an hour (literally!) of fiddling, I thought it was turning TTY mode on...that made it work. Then when I left the car and came back it didn't work. I tried the same thing and it didn't make it work again. I tried it with another phone. No dice. Finally I gave up, and after the phone had been off for a minute or 3 it suddenly worked. Of corse it stopped again after I got out of the car.
When I told the nice AppleCare guy this he said he could help. Unfortunately we then got cut off and I had to call back and try again.
So I would strongly recommend you call back and see if the next guy can help! (and then post the answer...race ya!)

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

I sed a phone headset (not bluetooth) and now internal speakers will not activate.

Phone thinks audio port still has jack. Ihave tried : turning on/off using headset and removing while in a call. Sound works on headset or bluetooth but not as speaker.
I have tried rebooting the phone by turning it on/off and removing the sim card.
I have also tried using the phone with headset in place and removing it during the call.
the phone still thinks the headset jack is in place and will not return to speaker.
This also keeps the internal speakers from activating for an incoming call.

I'm so sorry that is happening. We want you to have a great working device. Is there any damage to the device? Does this still occur with a different headset?

Mpd and bluetooth headset

Anyone of you guys got mpd and bluetooth audio up and working? I cant seam to find any good info in the matter.

I'm just guessing here, but maybe something along the lines of this in /etc/mpd.conf
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "My ALSA Device"
device "hw:0,0"
format "44100:16:2"
Change the 'device' line to suit whatever numbers your bluetooth headset is...

Front Row and bluetooth headset

Hi
I'm using a bluetooth headset (no mic) and each time I enable it I don't have sound at all in front row. It works fine when I use this headset and run quicktime or itunes fron desktop but as soon as i switch to front row it stop working. Sometimes I may hear 1 or 2 sound effect when I scroll in the fron row menu but as soon as I try to play a movie or a music, I don't hear anything.
Is there any tips to know to make them work together ?
Tks,
Xavier

I have the exact same issue. I've filed a bug with apple, but no response. This is with the latest version of Leopard, on a Core 2 Duo Mac Mini

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect; status bar looks good. But audio always comes out the speaker. Thx.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect as expected (with a PIN); status bar looks good and shows Bluetooth active, and I even see the iPhone displays the battery levels of the wireless earbuds. But audio always comes out the speaker. (If I plug in wired headphones into the headphone jack then audio comes into the wired headphones, as expected.) I have rebooted the iPhone; I have had it forget about the wireless earbuds, and repaired and reconnected; I have reset all network settings. Thx in advance.
PS: I understand that more recent versions of iOS have a way to choose where audio output goes (speaker, headphone jack, Bluetooth device). Does this older version of iOS? I could not find an option or setting.

I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

My ipod nano paired twice with my headset and now nothing. The headset states bluetooth profile is A2DP, AVRCP, HSP and HFP whatever this means.

The Apple BT headset? Did you press and hold the button for a few seconds? A set of rising tones indicates power on. The light only lights up when connected to the power cable (orange when charging, green when charged).

Bluetooth Headsets and D-Link DBT-120

Hi everyone,
I am running a PowerMac Dual 2.0 GHz G5 with OS 10.4.11. I have been having the hardest time finding a solution to pair my Plantronics headset with my Mac. I have tried several Bluetooth USB dongles, most recently the D-link DBT-120 and everytime I go to pair the headset, I get the error: "Failed to set up the headset. Headsets are not supported on your Bluetooth hardware." I have the most up to date bluetooth firmware and software on my Mac:
Software: 1.9.5f4
Firmware: 3.1915
I read in the support article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120276
"Headset support requires a Bluetooth enabled headset and either an internal Apple Bluetooth module or a D-Link DBT-120 rev. B or later."
so I understand why the 2 other cheap USB bluetooth dongles didn't work with headsets, but even after buying a new D-link dbt-120, I STILL get the error...any thoughts??? Thanks in advance!

Your link loops back to this thread.
So, what you are saying is, the Apple doc recommends this DBT-120:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/D%2DLink/DBT120/
But you have this one:
http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=34
is there a solution without upgrading to 10.5?
OS X 10.4.3 and later are supported, but note the disclaimer:
This device supports Bluetooth® Version 2.0. However D-Link cannot guarantee full compatibility with all devices due to modifications and/or other variations of the devices’ implementation of the Bluetooth 2.0/1.2/1.1 standard.

Utility to switch between Bluetooth headset and built-in audio input/output

I'm looking for a utility that will switch the Sound preference settings between my Mac's built-in audio input/output device and my Bluetooth headset for use with applications such as Skype.
The way I envision it working is that I would click an icon at the top of the screen and it would toggle the Sound preferences settings from
Output = Line Out (or Digital Out)
Input = Line In (or Digital In)
to
Output = (my Bluetooth headset)
Input = (my Bluetooth headset)
or vice-versa.
That's it. It doesn't need to automatically detect my headset as I might be using the headset on another device. Just a button that would toggle between the built-in and Bluetooth device settings.
Has anyone seen anything like this?

Thanks, it works great.
It would be even better if one could define device groups. e.g. Headset, built-in devices, etc. I'll drop a note to the developer.

E71 and bluetooth/FM wired headset concurrently

Hi all...
I want to listen to an FM radio through the bluetooth headset. So is it possible to connect the wired headset (as an antenna only) and also turn on the bluetooth to get the radio and phone calls through it? alternatively has anyone had any experience on the E71 with one of those rare bluetooth headsets that have a built in FM radio in them? will the E71 fully support radio and mp3 operation with such a gadget? (mp3 from the E71 and FM radio switchable from the bluetooth).
Requiring I guess full A2DP support or suchlike...

Thanks

Hi, I was intrigued with the first part of your question that I did not think of it first since I have both a bluetooth headset and the original wired headset.. so I will do this when I reach home and tell you if it works...
as for the 2nd part of your question, I would think that the bluetooth you mentioned is the one having the radio transceiver and that it is using that instead of your phone radio... I would guess that because I also have a FM/AM headset, albeit wired, and it has its own transceiver... so you have to ask the maker of that particular headset for the capability... I guess you could ask whether, if you are listening to radio on the headset, could you still accept calls along the way (my bet is you can)... if so, then you can use it on your e71...
-> 3210 -> 8210 -> 8350 -> 6600 -> n80ie -> e71

I have Sunglasses Bluetooth Headset and Apple Iphone 4, I Can Communicate Calls Using Headset. But I can't Listen Musics Using Headset.

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.

I have a 3GS. Am trying to sync a plantronics explorer 232 Bluetooth headset and can't figure it out. I have Bluetooth turned on but it searches for devices and the headset never shows up. Anyone know exactly how to do this? My tech skills are lacking

I have the same blueparrott headset headset with the directions. Actually reading them just fixed my iphone pairing issue.
Here they are in case u still need them along with what I needed to do to get mine to work with iphone 4
Pair Headset with Phone
Turn off headset off
Hold down headset's MFB (large top button) until red & blue lights flash and you hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones. Must wait for all before you release the MFB button!! (I had my hubby hold the MFB while I waited for the tones since both come from the headset
Release the MFB and follow your phone's instructions to place it in 'bluetooth' discoverable mode. With the iphone4, go to "General" and then "Bluetooth" and turn indicator to "ON".
This is where my issue occurred as the phone could not find the bluetooth, although it worked with my LG phone. So after trying it several times thinking I was nuts and that the issue was with the iphone, I looked further in the blueparrot's directions and found this step that fixed the issue.
Reset Paired Devices List
On the bluetooth, press and hold down both the volume up & volume down buttons for 5-6 seconds. A double beep will be heard and the list will be reset. Pairing info for devices previously paired will be lost.
The bluetooth directions provide this as step 4 but that did not work for my phone (see below)
4. Once the phone discovers the headset, select "pair" and enter "0000" code and that when pairing is complete the blue light on the headset will stop flashing and phone will prompt you to 'connect'.
This is what I had to do after resetting the device list on my bluetooth
4. My iphone instanting discovered the headset and displayed it under 'Devices" but showed a message that it was 'not connected'. Once I selected the device on the iphone by pressing on it then it changed to "connected".
Even when I turn the bluetooth on and off the device remains on the list and alll I do is select it to connect and disconnect after I turn on my blueparrott bluetooth
I hope this helps others!
