  • TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work).  "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
    That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

  • Cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    cannot pair iPhone4 (iOS 7.1) with Macbook air (iOS 10 yosemite); they do see each other but will not connect via bluetooth

    That is because they do not generally pair. What is it that you are trying to do by connecting them via Bluetooth? If you are referring to AirDrop or continuity, then all you need to do is have Bluetooth turned on, they do not pair.

  • My 2010 MacBook A1342 will not connect via Bluetooth to my iPhone 5S

    I am able to connect my 2010 MacBook Pro to my iPhone 5s in order to use the Internet connection via Bluetooth. However I just purchased my son a 2010 white MacBook A1342 via Bluetooth to my iPhone 5s in order to use the Internet, I received a message on my phone that says "MacBook not supported".
    I am able to pair other Bluetooth devices to this same MacBook and I know that I can connect via Wi-Fi but I would like to know why this is not working.
    Thanks!

    And I am also trying to connect it to my iPhone 5s via Bluetooth***
    excuse the typo.

  • HT204368 Android smartphone will pair but not connect to iPad 4

    Android Motorola bionic smartphone will pair w/ iPad 4 but says its not connected. Help

    You can't via Bluetooth - it would take forever even if you could.
    Transfer the music and pictures from your smartphone to your computer, import the music into iTunes, then sync it and the pictures to the iPad via iTunes. Using iTunes with your iPad is covered in the iPad user guide:

  • My headset is paired ,but not connected

    My headset is paired but it is not connected,can anybody help please

    After attempting to connect via a bluetooth dongle (USB external bluetooth send/receive device), I am fairly certain that the bluetooth-Mac problem is software based. The same headset worked wonderfully under previous OS-X versions. I really do not appreciate having to reconnect every few minutes and to continually reinstall my bluethooth headset. Obviously, Apple does NOT want to fix the problem.

  • Android phone could pair but not connect to Ipad 2. any reason?

    I'm trying to connect my Android phone 2.3.5 to new Ipad 2 with IOS 4.3.5 via Bluetooth. It does pair but does not connect.
    Anybody knows why?
    thanks 

    The iPad doesn't support file transfer over bluetooth. Are you able to copy the info over to your computer from the phone and then sync them to the iPad - the iPad supports contact syncing from (from the iPad manual):
    You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.)
    or :
    MobileMe or Microsoft Exchange account on iPad with Contacts enabled
    So I think that you will need to get the contacts into one of those before you can sync them to the iPad (it's not something that I've done).

  • Sometimes car will not connect via bluetooth unless I go into settings app

    I've updated my Iphone 4 to IOS5.  I've paired the phone with my car (Infinity) and it usually works.  But sometimes it does not connect.  I've notice that in those cases I can get my phone to connect immediately by going into the settings app on my iphone.  I just have to enter the settings app, I don't have to change anything, I don't even have to go into general settings where bluetooth is.  I just have to enter the settings app and the car will connect to my iphone via bluetooth immediately every time.  has anyone run into this?

    Just checking again to see if anyone has run into the problem I described above and may have an answer.  It is really annonying.

  • Headset pairs but not connecting! N95

    Hi, Hope someone can help. I have a Samsung WEP200 headset that works with other phones, but will not connect to my N95. The headset is found, paired and authorised but just "gets unable to connect" error.
    The Bluetooth symbol also has the () symbols either side when the headset is on.

  • Logiix Bluepiston not connecting via bluetooth to Macbook Pro

    Hello
    I recently purchased a macbook pro retina in january 2015. I also have a magic mouse which connects fine via bluetooth to the mac. I also have a blue piston speaker which just doesnt seem to connect. it doesnt appear at all under bluetooth preferences when its on, but it will appear in the bluetooth settings on my phone, so my phone is able to pick it up by the mac isnt.
    any help would be appreciated. So far ive looked at similar posts which either used macs with older OS's and thus different options or the speakers had a seperate bluetooh button to press. (the bluepiston automatically turns on bluetooth when you turn it on)
    thank you for the help

  • My mini ipad will not connect via bluetooth to bose wifi speaker

    Can anyone help, I have blue tooth on iPad 2 and it works but not with my mini iPad, any ideas please?
    Thanks

    I have the same stereo... connecting the first time is a bit tricky.
    READ THE MANUAL FOR THE STEREO.
    http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/4125798211.pdf        Page 16
    It tells you how to make the stereo discoverable and pair it with your phone.
    After it's been paired once, it remembers.
    When I get into my car and start the engine, it will usually pair automatically now.
    If not, hitting "Pause" on the stereo once or twice will usually make it pair up and start playing music from itunes.
    The only thing that ***** about that stereo is that BT Pandora doesnt have the thumbsup/down option for iPhone(Does for Android tho!)
