Song playback rate is improper over Bluetooth a2dp

I recently purchased a Bluetooth a2dp dongle to stream music wirelessly from my MacBook and iPhone. My bed is about 2.5 meters from the dongle. The playback is fine with the MacBook but with my iPhone 3G it tends to be inconsistent. I can sense a rush in the playback and then sudden chops. Simply speaking it's not smooth. It's a 3G with ios4.1 and so background apps is not an issue. There is a direct line of sight with the dongle. The MacBook plays it fine over the same distance.
This problem is present even when my iPhone is placed next to the dongle (which actually kills the very meaning of having the dongle).
Any help?

the problem is only with the iPhone 3g and not with my MacBook pro.

Unwanted image added to song when sent from computer over bluetooth

When I send a song from my mac mini to my One via bluetooth--it adds an image from my computer that is not part of the mp3 file as the thumbnail for the song in "media." How can I stop this? Thanks for any help

Hi Kevin, thanks for the response.
I've done it three or four times, every time it adds the same photo, but it
is just one of many from my computer and I have no idea 1. why any image is
added, or 2. that image in particular is added. I don't want any
thumbnails, just the song!
The obvious workaround is to transfer via usb which worked, but I like
bluetoothing sometimes...
thanks

How can I get variable playback rates for podcasts/audiobooks downloaded from iTunes?

When I download a podcast from the iTunes Store, say Criminal or 99% Invisible, it shows up on my iPod Touch 4G just as a regular song as part of an album--it's not classified as a podcast episode and there's no way to speed it up. When downloading Serial episodes from the Serial site, however, it came with the 2x/.5x speed options, which is extremely useful for me. I tend to download the episodes directly to my computer and then add them to my iPod Touch via MediaMonkey, so I'm not sure what the difference is. With audiobooks, I have to manually change the genre to audiobook and then add to my iPod via iTunes to have the variable rates, so it's really quite a hassle. Is there any way to make this more efficient?

If you want to access the variable playback rates then the media must be transferred such that its media kind is either podcast or audiobook. I've just tried moving an mp3 audiobook file over to my iPad using MediaMonkey and it has ended up in the right section of the device's library so it must be possible. My understanding is that media kind is a private iTunes property, not stored in the tag, so perhaps MediaMonkey has used Genre to decide which part of the iPad library it should add the file to.

Is it possible to pair my 4th gen iPod with my tmobile sparq over Bluetooth?

I have some songs on a third party music app I would like to transfer to my phone. My phone ( tmobile sparq) does support file transfering over bluetooth, but i cant get them to connect. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps the manual is wrong. Or maybe it is just poorly worded and in fact means that it uses A2DP to send audio to a Bluetooth headset/headphones and a different profile of Bluetooth to enable file transfers that are not music. As far as I know, A2DP Bluetooth is for one-way transmission of stereo (or mono) audio. It does not allow file transfers. Certainly, the iPod Touch cannot perform file transfers via Bluetooth.
After all this effort you are putting in, perhaps it would be quicker, subject to certain conditions, to place the music files onto a memory card within the phone, physically connect the memory card to your computer and copy from the memory card to your computer and then into iTunes. The conditions being that you have a memory card facilty on your phone (I don't know it).
Subject - of course - to you already owning legitimate copy of the music in the first place. I wouldn't want to be seen to condone copyright theft.

IPhone 4 iOS7: Playing music over bluetooth, short dropout during mp3-id-transfer

After upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS7, i have a little problem with the music-player.
I use it, playing music in my car over Bluetooth. Everytime a new song starts, I have a short dropout while my iPhone transfers the MP3 tag to my car's soundsystem. It would be no problem, if that happens before starting to play a song, but it starts to play for about half a second, then drops out, sends the tag and my soundsystem displays it, then continues playing.
I use a Renault Carminat soundsystem with TomTom-Navigation (all builtin).
Any ideas?
Untagging the MP3-songs is out of discussion!
Buying iPhone 5s is in plan, but there must be another solution.

Hi,
I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
Anyway, thank you,
Chris

No sound from GB over Bluetooth connection

The function to perform sound of Garageband over Bluetooth doesn't work well!
The I-pad settings to play sound over BT are correct.
The pairing with my (bluetooth) VOIIS gateway was succesful.
Music (sound) from my I-Pad (i.e. Music APP) is transmitted correct to my amplifier through this device.
The special setting in Garageband have been done ( sound over Bluetoorth/HDMI)
however the sound of Garageband over Bluetooth is not transmitted to my BT device.
Without Bluetooth setting it is working well (sound from I-pad speakers (i should say squeeckers ))

The problem is solved!
I did what you suggest a couple of times, but i had no luck.
What might have somehow fixed the problem: I opened iWeb, and then previewed a GB song to import. It played great.
Then I opened GB and everything worked...
Strange.
Thank you all for your help anyway!

Bluetooth a2dp/avrcp

Ever since a week after the first Iphones were released (when I bought my first one), I've been waiting for Iphone to support bluetooth a2dp/avrcp.
I bought a 3G-S yesterday. I have 3 different a2dp/avrcp products I've paired it with: my Sony car stereo, a Motorola MOTOROKR S9 and a 3rd device (I forget the make/model). All three seem to play the music via a2dp fine. But I cannot get skip-to-next-track and skip-to-beginning-of-track ( |<< and >>| )to work on any of them. Play/pause works on the 2nd and 3rd device, but not on the car stereo. On the car stereo when I hit pause I hear a split-second pause and then it continues playing.
So my question is, does the Iphone 3G-S not support the avrcp protocol or is it buggy?

The iPhone 3GS' Bluetooth profile does not support forward and back, only pause and play via stereo Bluetooth. I had this issue as well, and had to dig around the apple site to find out the supported profiles. My car stereo has the capability to transfer the phonebook contacts to the stereo so you can see a name rather than a phone number; however since the iphone's profile does not support file transfer or sharing I cannot use this feature on my stereo. I hope Apple updates this soon as well as the forward/rewind Bluetooth functionality so I can keep my phone secured in my purse without having to take it out to change the song or see who is calling me while driving.
Go to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
it lists the supported profiles. Pay close attention to the * toward the bottom. It states only pause and play are supported.

So I'm having an issue where I can't stream audio from any of my portable devices to playback through the laptop speakers, over bluetooth. I have no issues pairing devices to the laptop, nor sendng or recieving files using bluetooth. The only problem is streaming audio through the laptops speakers
I have the latest Bluetooth drivers installed for the ' Ralink rt3290 01 adapter'. I got the drivers from the official HP website (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5386... yet audio streaming over bluetooth stll does not work
For testing purposes, I paired the same portable devices to another laptop from a different manufacturer, running windows 8.1 pro, and the audio streaming worked perfectly. All I did was pair the other laptop to my portable device, and press play.

I understand that your notebook computer is not able to stream audio from any of your portable devices to playback through the notebook speakers, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To ensure that the Bluetooth software is installed correctly on your computer, I recommend removing the drivers from Programs and Features or the Device Manager. Once the old software is removed, please restart your computer.
When the notebook has booted back into Windows, I recommend downloading the HP Wireless Button Driver, as well as any applicable wireless or Bluetooth drivers needed from the HP Support Assistant.
Additionally, I also suggest following the steps below:
Step 1. Go to device manager
Step 2. Right click on "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" that you want
Step 3. Select "Update Driver Software..."
Step 4. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software"
Step 5. Choose "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
Step 6. Select "Ports (COM & LPT)"
Step 7. Select "Microsoft" at "Manufacturer" list
Step 8. Finally select "Standard Serial over Bluetooth link"
If you are still unable to pair with a Bluetooth device try the following:
Step 1. Search for "Change device" in the Windows 8 Start menu.
Step 2. Click on where it says Change device installation settings.
Step 3. Select the No, let me choose what to do option.
Step 4. Check the automatically get the device app option
Step 5. Click Save changes to save the settings you just chose
As well you can try this:
Step 1: Go to RUN (Windows Logo + R) and type “services.msc” and Enter
Step 2: Now find “Bluetooth Support Service” and double click on it
Step 3: Now click on Log On Tab and Type in "Local Service" without quotes
Step 4. Click on “This Account”
Step 5: Now remove any passwords leave the password field blank
Step 6: Underneath the upper left title should be a hyperlink "Start"
Step 7. Click "Start"
You can also check Power Management tab and unchecked the box that said "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."

How to fix stuttering song playback?

Over the past week, I began experiencing stuttering song playback in iTunes. I tried to lower the sound enhancement settings to no avail. Please help. System: XP Home, 32 bit.
Note: Am using iTunes 10.7 because I had problems with missing tracks and error messages in the most recent version of iTunes. Haven't had any other problems since the downgrade.

Hello Ayanna R
Verify that you have done some of the other steps in the article below to resolve issues with audio playback. The only other advice I can give is updating iTunes.

QT Pro 7.0.4 playback rate problem

Since I updated to QT Pro 7.0.3, (I have QT Pro 7.0.4) I have problems with playback rate with most of QT .mov files.
Recently if I want to save anything in QT .mov file, Iike from AfterEffects 6.5 or FinalCut Pro 5 or even in QT Pro 7.0.4, most of time it won't properly make the saved file playback in normal 29.97/30 frames per second rate. No matter how hard I try to preset the FPS rate to 29.97/30 frames per second before I save a .mov file, it'll still playback like 1 frame per 6/8 seconds or something like that!!! The same saved file can play very smoothly in my schools PowerMac G5 comperters, so I know it shouldn't be the codec problems. Now I cannot even watch some saved or stream .mov file from the net because QT Pro has same playback problems with them as well.
I don't understand what's the problem with my QT Pro. However, none of my previously saved QT pro 7.0.1/7.0.2 .mov files has playback problems at my PowerBookG4. Can someone please help?

I just saw my pervious post, it seems like it didn't included the crucial information of my PowerBook G4 like I did on this one.
Anyway, I usually used H.264 for my FinalCut Pro 5 saves, and use "none compressed" on all my AfterEffects 6.5 files. The dimensions I used for save files never over 720x480. Since I updated on Tiger, with paid QT pro 7, I never had any problems on saving movies, with early version 7.0/7.01/7.0.2, never even have problems watching and save any .mov files from the internet.
But recently, the playback drop frame rate really become an obvious problem, bugs me very much. I no longer has any control over playback files on my QT pro. Currently 9 out of 10 QT files from the internet has problem playing back on my QT Pro 7.0.4 player. I have Snapz Pro X 2, and it's the current version, but this drop frames problem also effects on the files saving on this program. Now I can no longer save .mov on H.263 or H.264 codec, QT on my G4 PB just refuse to playback on those .mov files created from my Machine. I only currently tried to use Sorenson3 codec and it works OK most of time. I haven't try to save .mov on other codec yet on my G4 PB use QT Pro...
However, like I said, I still have no problems playback my saved QT Pro 7/7.0.1/7.0.2 files that I created on my current Pro 7.0.4 player. I also find out that all the "problemetic" files that cannot play on my QT Pro and my PB can play totally smooth on my school's G5 PowerMac. I don't really understand what's the meaning of my problem, but does this has something to do with my PB or maybe corrupted QT Pro program? I did uninstall and reinstalled the QT Pro and all it's related files on my PB, but still, nothing works after that either.
Because I did upgrade my ram to 1 GB (it was 512 MB), at one point I thought maybe it was the bad ram caused all the problems, but then when I changed back to my previous ram cards, my QT Pro 7.0.4 still refuse to work properly.
I really have no idea on this anymore. Should I just try to reinstall Tiger and see what happened? That's the last thing I can think of...

IPhone 5 won't play audio over Bluetooth in 2012 Lexus GX 460

My iPhone 5 can connect via Bluetooth to my 2012 Lexus GX460. I can make and receive calls over car speaker/Bluetooth.
However, when I attempt to connect and play music, it says Bluetooth connection failed -- Please see portable player settings.
Are there new settings on the iPhone to have the audio played over Bluetooth?
My iPhone 4S and 4 worked perfectly. Now, the iPhone 5 has issues.
I have tried this:
1. Removed the phone from the GX 460
2. Added the phone back using password
3. Says it is connected and I can make/receive calls
Since the audio did not work, I tried:
1. Turned off Bluetooth on the iPhone
2. Turned off the iPhone
3. Removed the phone from the GX 460
4. Turned off the GX 460
5. Started the GX 460
6. Turned on the iPhone
7. Turned on Bluetooth
8. Paired the phone with the GX 460
9. Calls can be made/received, but audio still does not connect
Lexus has not returned any calls/messages on this one -- hoping someone may have an answer.
Thanks!

Had this problem in my 2012 IS F. Fixed it by going to 'SETUP' -> 'Audio' -> BLuetooth settings. Deleted the existing pairings and then repaired my phone. Bingo!

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?

Ah, sure it actually won't. I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support. They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug. It's a feature!!"
Personally, I think this is insane. While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection. There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network. The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place. At least mine won't.

About a month ago a song randomly appeared in my songs list and when I tried swiping to the left to delete the song it wouldn't slide over to show the delete button. The delete slide appears with all of my other songs except that one. P.S. iCloud is off.

About a month ago a song randomly appeared in my songs list and when I tried swiping to the left to delete the song it wouldn't slide over to show the delete button. The delete slide appears with all of my other songs except that one. The ICloud songs are turned off and it wasn't iTunes Radio. 2 more songs like this have appeared and I can't delete them from both my iPhone or my computer (they don't even show up on my computer). If somebody knows how to fix this that would be amazing! Thank You.

Have you:
