Trouble with Bluetooth Devices

I have a MacBook Pro 13" from late-2011.  Recently I have decided to use Bluetooth headsets instead of wired earbuds because I tend to forget they are in my ears and when I get up, they are yanked out of my ears, hurting me and potentially pulling my notebook off of something.  I had an LG Tone before getting my current Motorola S11-FLEX HD headset.  I switched because of the problems I have been having with Bluetooth but switching has not solved the issue.
My biggest problem with my Bluetooth headsets is that the audio stutters and then de-syncs with any video.  The de-sync can be as bad as a full second.  I'll see the video's actions before I hear them.  The de-sync also affects the responsiveness of controls.  After I give a command, the audio will continue to play for however long the de-sync is before the command is performed.  It's like it's making up for the lost time.  The only solution I have come across is turning off the device, then turning it back on but that only works some of the time.  Usually, I have to turn it off and then on again two or three times before the de-syncing issue disappears.  I have no idea the cause as my LG Tone works to specifications with devices that belong to other people.  I have found that moving my head in a certain direction will cause the de-sync.  Sometimes, it's leaning back; other times, it's tilting my head.  It's as if the Bluetooth field is planar and I'm jumping out of the plane.
Another issue is the distance I can be from my device.  My Bluetooth headsets boasts being able to function perfectly as far as 30 feet for one headset but moving even 5 feet will cause the previously mentioned de-syncing if the audio is playing.  If I pause the audio, I can move about 10 feet.  After I move 10 feet, when I press play, the de-sync appears.  It renders the function of being wireless to being useless.  I wanted to Bluetooth so I didn't have to pause, take off my device, do what I need to do, and before coming back, putting on the device, and resuming play, hoping that nothing has gone wrong to cause a de-syncing issue.
A third issue I have is that sometimes, while listening to some audio of some kind, another program will make a noise causing the audio to cut out.  My notebook or the web browser is not aware that audio is no longer playing.  It's as if the new program has muted the original audio.  The only cure: turning off the device and turning it on again and hoping it's working.
The last issue I can think of is that when I turn my notebook off for any reason, all Bluetooth devices are forgotten causing me to go through the hassle of repairing the devices again but many times, the repairing process fails and despite being on and not paired to anything else, my notebook is unable to pair unless I turn both the device off and my notebook's Bluetooth off before turning both back on.
Has anyone run into issues like this? If so, does anyone have any recommendations on how to correct the problem? The problem is on my notebook side as the devices work fine with other products.  The LG Tone could be used across the house when it was attached to my father's Kindle Fire and when attached to my iPhone 5, I could walk 20 feet with doors and concrete between me and the device before any issues began (both devices had trouble with my iPhone but pausing usually fixes the issue so I don't care).  Please, I need some advice and help.

Some details missing.
I have a Pioneer DEH-P7000BT. On telephone settings, everything OK.
When I want to sync to my Audio Bluetooth, I hear the sound in slow motion :-)
I have to delete the Bluetooth device on the radio, and re-syncing on Audio Devices and everything fine.
Same thing all the time.
When I had iOS 3.1.3 on my iPhone 3G, everything was OK.
I can't find Firmware Update for my radio.

  • Edge Animation having troubles with iOS devices within Muse Site

    Hi All! I've been creating a mobile version of my website www.rinkdesigns.com and have it all complete. I created an animation/navigation bar within Adobe Edge Animate and imported it into Muse. It functions AMAZINGLY on my Nexus 4 (Android) in Chrome but on a buddies iPhone 5 Chrome only loads about 3/4 of the animation/nav bar, in Safari the animation does not load at all and half of the page background does not load either. Please check out the preview site here http://rinkdesignsmobile.businesscatalyst.com/phone
    Has anyone else been having animation/mobile troubles with iOS devices? Any hints as to how you fixed your errors would be extremely helpful! I also posted this question in the Muse forum and haven't gotten a response...
    Thanks,
    John

    Or, how about this:
    Does anyone know how to have Edge Animate objects that utilize "_top" in an open url trigger make the Muse site that they are a part of open a new window/tab with that action (as opposed to having it open the url in the current page, or using "_blank" in the trigger)?

  • Trouble with Boot Device

    I'm having some trouble with boot devices on my Neo Plat and I hoped someone here might have a fix.
    I recently installed a new hard-drive as C. I've gone into Bios/Advanced Features and set the boot order to the following:
    Hard Drive
    CD-ROM
    Floppy
    When I reboot now I get the message "Booting from CD" which it can't do because there is no bootable CD-ROM present. I then get a message like "No Boot Device Present" and the system halts.
    The strange thing is that if I select F11(Select Boot Device) at the BIOS test screen and select Hard Drive and then my C: Drive it boots just fine from that drive! But it will not do this automatically.
    Anyone know what the problem might be?

    F11 is pr. boot only .
    Need to be in the bios ..
    You need to go into "hd boot priority" submenu in advanced features menu and set/save the HD order there . (number three from the top)
    Toggle the boot drive from pos 1. to 2. in the list and back to pos 1.
    Then save the bios and exit .

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Trouble with audio devices

    I wrote a simple Java application to record audio on some mixer and then play it back. With my headphones / microphone connected, I got the following list of mixers:
    1. Primary Sound Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
    2. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
    3. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
    4. Primary Sound Capture Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
    5. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
    6. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
    7. Java Sound Audio Engine : Software mixer and synthesizer
    8. Port Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Port Mixer
    9. Port SoundMAX HD Audio : Port Mixer
    Of these, mixers 2, 5 and 8 are not available when the headphones are detached, as expected.
    Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer. I tried mixer 6 above without success.
    Is it not possible to record computer audiio when a microphone is connected? If it is, how?

    There is no simple way to record sound in Java, AFAIU.

    Significant question. Are you interested in getting this code to work for the machine you sit in front of, or is this for 'the general end user'?
    I have no general solution for the latter, but for a single machine, installing an 'audio loop-back' (either software or hardware) might be the answer. That is the most intelligent thing I can offer that might help get around this problem.

  • Spotify connection with bluetooth devices

    Hi guys!
    I really enjoy this app, it's just gorgeous!
    I play my whole music with Bluetooth devices (Powerbeats Wireless 2 and Samsung Audio-Multiroom M7) and those doesn't work very well just with Spotify, it stops and disconnects every end of a song, it's really annoying because I have to wait for the pairing of any device. I've tried pairing them to Spotify Connect. Samsung M7 pairs but doesn't work very well and Spotify Connect doesn't recognise Powerbeats...
    I hope you could help me because I wouldn't like to cancel my subscription.

    Thank u so much! :D
    Anyway now I have to use my tablet and take it everywhere instead of my phone...
    I love music so I'd do anything just to listen to it.
    Hopefully, I suppose there's an update of Spotify so I'll look forward to it.

  • Trouble with bluetooth keyboard/mouse and wake from sleep option

    Hi,
    I have a 12" PB G4 that has in-built BT. I got a Microsoft Elite bluetooth desktop (keyboard + mouse) and the keyboard and mouse are recognized by my Powerbook but the option to "Allow bluetooth devices to wake up this computer" option is dimmed so I can't check it.. I googled and came upon Apple's howto on this and downloaded/installed the latest firmware.... no luck.. I opened up the firmware updater in Applications\Utilities and hit the Update button but get an error saying no apple bluetooth module exists... given that the keyboard and mouse do show up in the list of bluetooth devices, does this mean that there is no firmware update for this make of keyboard/mouse?
    Anything else I can try to get this option to work so I can use the BT keyboard/mouse to wake up the computer?
    Thanks,
    NG

    Seems I am the only one using a Bluetooth mouse. I went a bought a mouse with an RF receiver and have packed the BT mouse away.
