Toshiba Bluetooth Headphones and Tiger?

I'm well aware that the product is meant for a PC, but has anyone successfully, or knows of any way, to use the Toshiba bluetooth headphones with a Mac? I can pair them using the D-Link DBT-120 adapter (pre-firmware updater as an "other" device, post-firmware updater, as a headset) and I also have a Targus Bluetooth 1.2 USB adapter that I can pair with the headset. In Bluetooth preferences it is listed as an audio type, but it never shows up in the Sound preferences.

I am also wondering about using bluetooth headphones to listen to audio from my iBook. I just bought a pair of Combi AP11 bluetooth headphones. I know they come with an adapter for the iPod mini, but I am wondering if anyone has been able to get a pair of bluetooth heaphone running through OSX?

Conflict Between Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and Power Drawers on Tecra M5

There seems to be a bug in TosBtShell.dll and I'm hoping this alert might get it repaired in a future revision. Maybe also it will save others the considerable effort it cost me to track down the problem on my new Tecra M5. I've had to abandon Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and now use the one in XP SP2.
When Bluetooth Manager is running, TosBtShell.dll puts the item 'to Bluetooth' next to 'Send To' in the context menu for files and folders. Unfortunately it conflicts with the shell enhancement software Power Drawers http://www.dynamickarma.com/powerdrawers.htm that I rely on to speed up access to my computer files. This software lets you right-click on a folder to display its contents in a list. You can then mouse to any folder in the list and that one also expands as a sub-list - and so on as deep as you like until you reach the folder or file that you want. Right-click an item in the cascade and you get a list of useful options. However if Bluetooth Manager is running when you do the right-click, Power Drawers crashes and you have to close and reopen explorer.exe to get it back.
The conflict stops if you remove 'to Bluetooth' from the context menu for files and folders. I proved this by using ShellExView from Nirsoft http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html to disable the Registry key 'Bluetooth File Extenstion' [sic]. This key is associated with C:\WINDOWS\system32\TosBtShell.dll and CLSID {6BEF3D0B-53F0-4b0d-B91C-C19ED3D4C9D1}. Unfortunately the Registry key comes back again whenever you restart Bluetooth Manager.

I forgot to say in my original posting that the problem still exists in the current version of Toshiba Bluetooth Stack that I downloaded on 6th July from the Bluetooth page.
R2D2, your 'recommendation' would be useful if the site showed in detail what bugs have been fixed. I tried the new version because, although there was no mention of a fix for context menu issues, it does mention that "minor bug-fixes" have been made. I discovered the hard way that these fixes do not deal with the issue I described.
My experience with new Toshiba laptops over the past 15 years is that the update documentation seldom states clearly enough what has changed when new software versions appear. Yet such information could save users a lot of time.
Changing the Bluetooth stack from Microsoft to Toshiba and back is not a five-minute task.
But it seems that the MS Bluettooth stack works with Power Drawers

Backbeat 903 Bluetooth Headphones and iOS4

I have a pair of Backbeat 903 headphones (originally from Altec Lansing, now Plantronics) that I love, and they've worked great with my iPhone 3Gs for 6 months.
I just upgraded to iOS4 on the iPhone, and I found that the Play/Pause toggle button on the headphones no longer works correctly. If the music is already paused, it does nothing. If the music is playing, the button makes the audio cut out for a few seconds while the track keeps playing, then the audio comes back in after a few seconds.
I wondered if something had happened to the Backbeat's button, so I looked into exchanging it under warranty. Before sending it, though, I purchased a new pair. I just got the new pair and they are doing the same thing, which means this is probably an iPhone software issue or Bluetooth issue.
Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

I'm relieved -- I thought I had done a reset before, but I guess I didn't follow all the way through.
My bluetooth issue was fixed by holding down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time, waiting through the power down screen, blackout, and finally the silver Apple logo.
When I repaired with the bluetooth headphones, the play/pause toggle switch worked as expected.

Bluetooth headphones and the (Intel) iMac

I want to buy a set of Bluetooth wireless headphones to use with my iMac (Intel) which is running OS X Lion as well as with my iPod Touch and iPad. The iMac supports Apple's wireless Bluetooth keyboard and Trackpad. Will it also support Bluetooth headphones?
Any recommendations for those headphones?
Many thanks!

Bluetooth Headphones and iPad/Apple TV; audio-video split

Apparently Apple TV can't output to Bluetooth headphones?
Is it possible to say; play a YouTube Vid on iPad; where the video is Airstreamed to Apple TV; but the audio output goes from the iPad to a set of Bluetooth Headphones; instead of to the TV? Bluetooth headphones work fine with an iPad.

Probably software - it would actually be a great enhancement for many people.

Bluetooth dongles and Tiger

I have a G4 iMac running MacOS 10.4.10.
I've been considering buying an aftermarket Bluetooth USB dongle so that I can use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with my iMac.
I noticed a cheapie dongle on a mail-order web-site I source my blank DVD-Rs from:
http://meritline.stores.yahoo.net/usb-bluetooth-wireless-dongle-adapter.html
I notice the mail-order page lists compatibility with various flavors of Windows but no mention of the MacOS. Should I be concerned by this? Is there some specification I should look for?

The D-Link uses the same chip that Apple uses. It even works with the Apple Bluetooth firmware updates, so if Apple adds new supported devices, it will still work. Other models may work, but there is no guarantee they will handle the same devices as the Apple or D-Link unit. They may work with the devices you need, though.

Can i use a bluetooth headphone and a bluetooth cycle computer at the same time on a 4s?

I was wanting to get the wahoo bluetooth enabled cycle computer and heart rate monitor and use it at the same time as I use bluebird bluebuds bluetooth head phones. Does this many divices work at the same time?

No, you can connect only one bluetooth device at a time.

Bluetooth headphones and Nike Plus system at same time?

I have been using the Nike Plus system with my nano for a while now, but would like to use wireless headphones while running. Is there a bluetooth adapter that will allow for the Nike Plus receiver to be plugged in simultaneously? Or is there some kind of splitter available?

Yeah I do it. I use a Jabra bluetooth adaptor that uses the headphone port. Then I tuck the luetooth unit under my Marware Relay wristband.

Bluetooth headphones in 8.1 won't switch between laptop and headphones

can set speakers or headhones as default but won't swich back and forth when push headphone on off button worked perfect on old laptop with win7 now running win 8.1 on hp 13 split x2
turns off headphones totally (need t factory reset) and shuts off music playing until restart

Hi zimmetp,
If I understand correctly you have paired a Bluetooth headphone to your notebook and it works fine. The problem arises when you go back to your regular notebook speakers and/or headphones and the sound doesn't work.
Are you turning off the Bluetooth when you try to go back to regular sound? If the computer still sees a connection to the Bluetooth headphones and they are set to default then it will continue to use those and not the regular ones.
What is your product number?

Need advice on bluetooth driver and software download

*PLEASE HELP*: just bought a Nexus bluemicro pro bluetooth v2.1 dongle. and ive damaged the disk it came with when I was opening the packet.
The disk says: Toshiba bluetooth driver and software bluetooth BT1.2/2/0/2.1.
Does anyone know if there is a download for this online somewhere or will I have to go out and buy another one? I'm not clued up when it comes to computers and would very much appreciate any advice and help.... I;m using windows vista so it would have to be compatible.

On Toshiba support and download page you can download Toshiba BT stack but it is for usage with Toshiba notebooks.
You bought non-Toshiba product so for download contact Nexus or visit Nexus support page.

Need help pairing Jarv Nmotion BTHL-201 bluetooth headphones

Hello...
I just received my Jarv Nmotion BTHL-201 bluetooth headphones and my iPhone 4s (I have not done the most recent IOS update) and the phone is not finding the bluetooth headphones.
I followed the directions - completely charged the headphones and then tried to pair. My phone just keeps searching but never finds the headphones.
Any suggestions? ( I have tried it several times. Turned the phone off completely, then powered it back and tried again - all to no avail).
Thanks.

Never mind!! Pilot error. Came to my senses - it works! Great set of headphones

Portege S100: Can't install Toshiba SD Host to use Toshiba Bluetooth SD Card2

I'm trying to install the Toshiba Bluetooth SD Card2 onto my Portege S100 but I can't get it to work, i get the error
"Could not open the Bluetooth ACPI device driver (tosrfec.sys). Try again?)
which suggests that the SD slot is not reading the card. I then went onto the Toshiba bluetooth section and found the driver files for the Toshiba SD Host Controller Driver (at http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/). I believe that I should install this as the Host Controller Driver, and not the SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller.
However, when i try to update the Driver, selecting specifically the folder of the Toshiba Host Controller Driver, it says that it couldn't find a better match than the one installed already. Therefore, I decided to install it manually, but instead, i get the error
"The specific location does not contain any information about your hardware"
I've run out of ideas, can anyone help me please?
Thank you
Regards
Danh

Bluetooth headphones sound terrible

I just purchased a pair of Philips SHB7000 bluetooth headphones and they sound absolutely terrible when paired with my Lenovo Yoga 10 tablet. Worse than an AM radio. But when I use these headphones with my PC or my Galaxy tab or my HTC One phone (all via bluetooth), it sounds great. When I try other bluetooth headphones with my Lenovo Yoga, they sound fine as well. It is this particular combination of this headphone with this tablet that it is unlistenable. Ironically, I bought these headphones specifically so I could watch videos and listen to music on the Lenovo Yoga, which is the one combination of device and headphones that does NOT work.
Any ideas why only this combo has a problem? I asked Philips and they were completely unhelpful and pointed the finger at Lenovo.

I'm starting to think my next tablet is going to be from another manufacturer... :-(
Thanks for finding that older post. That's really disappointing but sadly, not surprising. I have to agree with you, my next tablet will definitely NOT be a Lenovo. I've had a lot of problems with this tablet, this being the latest problem. For example, I've found several apps that work with all my devices but not with the Lenovo. Like I can't use it for Hangouts and Skype. It also crashes a lot. Often times I go to use it and it has shut itself off and I have to boot it. And sometimes it won't charge because it starts draining faster than the charge, even when it is plugged into the outlet. So this tablet is really quite useless and I'm looking for a replacement.
Thanks for letting me vent...

ITunes refuses to use bluetooth headphone

At first, I didn't realize there is this forum, and posted the following in a forum which is less suitable than this one. So, I copy it here.
I'm bewildered. Consider these three items: The bluetooth setting of Mac OS (the bluetooth icon near the top right corner), a bluetooth headphone, and iTunes. In what order should I switch them on?
First of all, I use the same headphone (S305 of Motorola) with the iPhone 4 and the 6th-gen. iPod Nano without any problems. It doesn't seem to matter which is switched on first.
Now, on my iMac, I experience wierd things. For example,
1) Switch on the headset.
2) Bluetooth menu of iMac -> Turn on Bluetooth.
3) Bluetooth menu of iMac -> S305 -> Use headphones.
After a while, my headset beeps and the Bluetooth
icon of the iMac turns to three dots. (Connection
established.)
4) Invoke iTunes. Then, the Bluetooth icon turns back
to the Bluetooth symbol, and music starts to flow
from the buildin speaker. Not from the headset!
5) Quit iTunes.
6) Bluetooth menu -> Turn off bluetooth.
7) Do item (2).
8) Do item (3).
9) Do item (4). And then, there is an error pop-up
window, saying that the bluetooth audio failed,
or somthing to the effect.
10) Restart the iMac.
11) Repeat from (1). Then, SOMETIMES, iTunes plays music
through my headset!
I failed to see any "systematicness". It SOMETIMES works and SOMETIMES fails.
Is there any pattern here? What's the correct order to turn on various things? I ask this, because establishing a Bluetooth connection after starting iTunes SOMETIMES works!
Oh, and I'm sitting right in front of the iMac and the strength of the signal should be very good. When I do a test like the above, I turn off all other Bluetooth signals. (For example, if its Bluetooth is on, my iPhone 4 establishes a connection with my headset before my iMac does so.)
Ryo

Are these tracks ones that iTunes played successfully before the update? If not, what format are the tracks (MP3, WAV, WMA, etc.)?
