When is Bluetooth going to be fixed?

I have a pair of Sony Bluetooth headphones. If I want to use them with Snow Leopard, I have to reboot my Mac between sessions. The headphones will apparently stay paired but not connected between sessions. For example, after rebooting I can see several Bluetooth devices listed. But if I put my Mac to sleep and then try to resume listening to music, no Bluetooth devices are listed. The Bluetooth menu remembers my headphones, but if I choose "Use for stereo output" an error appears saying "Stop using headphones." And if I turn Bluetooth off in an attempt to reset it, it can't be turned back on until after I reboot.
Snow Leopard's been out for months and surely I'm not the only one experiencing this. Anyone at Apple care to comment?

Turn Bluetooth off - then locate these files in your userName/Library/Preferences folder and delete:
com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent.plist
com.apple.BluetoothExplorer.plist
com.apple.BluetoothFileExchange.plist
Restart and pair. Restart again and check for persistent connection.
That said, Apple support for BT has always dragged so I wouldn't hold my breath for a breakthru.
You can help your usage situation by reducing any radio conflicts such as nearby cordless phone or mega-watt WiFi generators, etc. but again, BT competes with WiFi and Apple software prioritizes in WiFi's favor.
Note that I use Motorola BT headphones with no issues.

  • Phone does not sync w/exchange.  When is this going to get fixed?  My smart phone is now a dumb phone?

    The iphone does not sync with exchange even after apple says the new upgrade addresses calendar issues.   When is this going to be fixed?  My smart phone is now dumb?
    <Edited by Host>

    Sorry, quite right.  My note was not helpful, just plain frustrated.  the sync does not hold.  So the phone keeps trying to establish the synchronization.   Thus, it zero's out the emails and intermittently does not hold the calendar, the phone shows the calendar unchecked.  When you manually recheck the calendar it begins to sync.  There was quite a lot of blogging about the issues of exchange and the iphone.  Also contacts will revert to telphone numbers only with the name of the individuals disappearing. After sync is restablished everything looks normal and then when it losses synchronicity, it starts all over again.   It is happening as I type.  There were a nbr of user suggestions about how to maintain stablility with synchronicity.   However, none of the issues resolved the matter.  I have spoken with my IT department.   What settings do you have for exchange....what version of exchange.   I also heard the apple dismissed its chief overseeing this aspect of the iphone 5 because of the issues. 
    Apple is very unhelpful....

  • No mail since over 36 hours, when is this going to be fixed???

    My family and I haven't been able to use mail in the last 36 hours.  The status message on Apple support site remains the same, when is this going to be fixed?

    So Firefox is leaving you in "the lurch" because you installed a POS toolbar which is supported by freecause.com which doesn't have its' act together enough to make sure that their security certificate is up-to-date??
    Firefox is doing its' job by alerting you to the out-of-date certificate! You need to figure out what extension you have installed which is causing that message, and disable that extension until the certificate is replaced by a current certificate.

  • IChat Sharing doesn't work... When is it going to be fixed?

    After attempting several times to resolve this issue with an Apple technician, with the last technician advising me that it was a bandwidth issue, (I have since increased my bandwidth to 7 Mbps, and the problem still haven't been resolved) when is this issue going to be fixed? After the 10.5.7 update, the iChat software no longer works. The error message states "No activity has been received in the last 10s" which is seen on both computers after the connection is completed for 15 seconds. I've done every thing from changing the port number, to reinstalling iChat. Can anyone give me any info about any update to fix this problem?

    Use UPnP in you routing device.

  • Adobe Send - Problem with uploading files. When is this going to get fixed?

    When is the Adobe Send problem with uploading files going to get fixed. Similar to others - I have tried and tried to make Adobe Send work and get an error. I have tried to upload the file and it looks like it uploads and then - it is nowhere to be found.
    I then go to Adobe Send Now and it works fine.

    The problem is the same as described in other similar threads.
    I have a 57 MB PowerPoint file I am trying to send using Adobe Send. I go through the normal steps to identify the file and select recipients and then send the file. After the file completes the upload - an error saying there was a problem comes up and the file is not uploaded.
    I have tried to upload the file to the site with similar results - error and the file doesn't go.
    I can go to the old SendNow site and it works flawlessly.
    If I need to get screenshots - let me know. There are several other threads describing this same problem. It isn't something new or not heard of before.

  • Just this past week, I noticed that Firefox is not keeping my passwords. This is MADDENING. I'm on a Mac, but it seems many are having this issue. I don't see a solution given for this. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE FIXED??? I like FF the way is USED to be!

    It seems Firefox has stopped retaining passwords. This happens with all of my accounts. I must fill in the password manually.
    This password issue is not computer specific either. It happens on my G5 as well.
    What's going on???

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • The latest update is going to disable the google toolbar, when is this going to be fixed so I will be willing to up date?

    Even though my Google toolbar doesn't work as easily as I would like with Firefox, I don't want it not working at all, so I continue to tell the, ( up date now is recommended) reminder to ask me later. How long can I continue to do this?

    Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox beyond Firefox 4. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

  • HT5711 when is this going to be fixed?????

    We are trying to encourage the use of digital books, but if these can't be created...

    Hopefully you understand that HT5711 applies only to iBooks Author, whose format can only be read on an iPad or OS 10.9 in any case.  Japanese ebooks can be created in epub3 format for the iBookstore and these will be readable on any platform.  You will have to use an app like InDesign for Sigil for this instead of iBA or Pages.
    Nobody can tell you if or when Apple will expand the capabilities of iBA to cover these languages.

  • NSU V1.7.3 When is it going to get fixed?

    The Nokia NSU V1.7.3 en. us is all screwed up..Reason I say this is beacause I have a Nokia 6301 and a Nokia 5310..I updated the software on my 6301 and the wi-fi won't work anymore,updated the 5310 and I can't get Gmail App. or Yahoo!Go to work anymore,both saying a certificate missing or invalid.. I've updated both phones before this version of the NSU and never had any problems untill this version..I hope someone from Nokia reads this post and gets the problems straightened out Soon..

    NSU simply delivers the firmware to your phone.  If you upgrade your phone and you find features added/missing/changed, then it is the firmware you should suspect, not NSU.
    Since you have a T-Mobile branded phone, then NSU is delivering you firmware updates customized by T-Mobile.  If your wifi stopped working, blame them, not NSU.
    Also, this is a user to user forum.  Nokia employees do not read this except for to moderate (foul language, miscategorized posts, ...).
