Why do I need to restart iTunes to hear audio on my Bluetooth headphones?

I just bought a pair of Motorola S805 headphones, paired with an IOGear Bluetooth 2.0 dongle. If iTunes is running when I connect my headphones, I cannot get audio to play, no matter what I do in iTunes.
If I shut down iTunes, wait a few seconds, I can hear audio again. This method is not 100%, as I may have to restart iTunes 2 or 3 times to hear audio.
This is obviously just an annoyance, but I think that there should be a setting to allow iTunes to pick up new audio connections. Why do I need to go through this song & dance of restarting iTunes just to get audio working?
I have my S805's paired correctly, and they are set as the Stereo Audio device through the Microsoft Bluetooth devices. Is there any iTunes or Bluetooth settings that I can adjust?

Hi everyone, for the sake of posterity and if anyone encounters this problem, I have found a solution. I added a Motorola D200 bluetooth adaptor and I no longer have the problem. Since the D200 is an audio device it behaves better with iTunes.
I think the original problem stems from the fact that iTunes does not play well with audio devices on the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. I suspect that iTunes does not check for audio device updates of this type.

  • Why do i need to restart my imac everyday like ten times to get it to work, also the screen displays little digital squares.

    Why do i need to restart my imac everyday like ten times to get it to work, also the screen displays little digital squares.

    Hi Matt,
    I purchased my imac in November of 2010 and below is a cut and past from Hardware overview. It has 1 TB hardrive, with 670 GB free. When i start up in the morning, it boots normal then freezes. Half the time i can get it to restart before it freezes, other half i have to power down then restart. At the same time throughout this process the little pixel squares show up sometimes in a single line or two aross the screen, then sometimes more random. After about 7 times of rebooting, everything runs fine for the day with no weird pixels. then i shut down at night, and start the porcess over in the morning. Thanks for your help!

  • Why do I need to restart to play a DVD movie?

    I'm not sure if this MacBook related or Leopard related. When I put a DVD in my internal or external optical drive my MacBook locks up completely and a message appears stating that I need to restart by holding down the power button or using the reset button. I hold the power button down to shut the MB down and then I reboot and I'm able to play the movie which is still in the drive. These are original commercial movie DVDs and the problem is repeatable with different movies.
    Any ideas why this would be happening?

    I'm still experiencing this problem and can't pin it down so if anyone can understand these things I'd appreciate it. I have of course used the Report function to send Apple this panic log:

  • Why do I have to restart iTunes on my iMac to get Home Sharing to work again on my ATV2 and ATV3?

    Last week I ordered two more Apple TVs 3rd generation.  I have connected them to my network and the ATV2 that I had, seems to be working differently.  I have to restart my iTunes on my iMac to get Home Sharing to work again.  I go to Apple Support and reference this page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972) and it seems to be the only solution, reset iTunes.
    I currently have all apple products from end to end.  This doesn't seem to be working out as seamless as it should.  Any suggestions?

    Until Apple gets off their butts to fix this, you can do this.  Create a workflow that 1. Closes iTunes, 2. Pauses 10 seconds, 3. Opens iTunes.  Then Save it as an Application.
    Then...
    Create an Apple Script by "recording yourself" launching your new workflow.  Save that Apple Script.
    Finally..
    Go into Mail, and create a Rule that when you receive an email with the subject as "Restart iTunes" it will run your Apple Script (wchich launches your workflow app).
    Just send yourself an email from you chair!!!  :-)  Please reply if this works for you.  It works GREAT for me on Mountain Lion!
    Enjoy!

  • Need to restart iTunes after each CD import... what's up with that ?

    Having an issue with my new Toshiba laptop, after bringing my library in from my HTPC(now gone) and finding atleast one song on each album cut short, i've decided to start from scratch and re-import my 350 odd CD collection.
    But i'm having an issue... i start iTunes, import one CD, then go to do another and it either tells me there is no CD in the drive, or won't download any track names/album info etc. So after each CD i have to exit iTunes and then restart it. Sometimes have to reboot... what a nightmare that has turned into.
    Any help would be very much appreciated
    Thanks

  • Every time I burn a CD I need to restart itunes!

    Whenever I am burning CD's, I insert a new CD and itunes says I need to insert a blank CD. So I have to close itunes, than reopen it for it to recognize the blank CD. This has been an issue over multiple versions of itunes, but I am just now annoyed enough to try and find a solution. Anybody?

    My computer does the same thing, it was fine before i updated I tunes. Im going to uninstall it, then reinstall the original i had and not update it untill the problem is fixed. I did that on my other computer and i dont have a problem at all with I tunes now.

  • Why do I need to restart Apache and Tomcat every time a java file is change

    If a java file is changed and complied the changes are not reflected if Tomcat is not restarted.
    The settings in server.xml are as:
    <!-- Tomcat Manager Context -->
    <Context path="/manager" docBase="manager" debug="0" privileged="true"/>
         <Context path="/cf" docBase="cf" debug="0" reloadable="false"/>
    Here "cf" is my Application folder under webapps. The reloadable property when set to "true" for standalone Tomcat on Windows98 reflects the changes for compiled java files without restarting Tomcat. But on Linux 7.1 with Apache 1.3.19 and Tomcat 4.0.3 this is not working.
    Also tried out with Manager Application of tomcat-users.xml with reloadable="false" as well as reloadable="true",
    But when I reload the application using the command
    http://servername:8080/manager/reload?path=/appli.name
    It tells me that the application is reloaded but changes in the java file are still not reflected.
    Also when reloaded through Manager Servlet, Only my load-on-startup servlet is reloaded, but other java classes are not.
    Is it neccessary to execute this reload command from the server itself. I m executing it from a remote m/c. and have mapped the application with a domain name virtually.
    Is it the case with Tomcat on Linux with Apache. Or is something going wrong on my part.
    Can someone Help out plz.

    or you can "touch" your web.xml file.
    touch web.xmlor that command is for *nix systems, not sure what the Windows command is.  But basically, when you edit the web.xml, even if it means updating the last modified time, it will restart only your application and you should see the changes.

  • My Apple TV and IPad drop after x mintues from "Home Sharing". To restart it, I need to close iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, open it , then I can listen again X minutes (15-90 minutes) to my music via "Home Sharing". Any idea why? What worked for you?

    I believe if you updated your Apple TV, you need iTunes 11 to make it work.

  • When and Why Do We Need to Create 2 Diff iTunes Libraries?

    Hi,
    When and Why Do We Need to Create 2 Diff iTunes Libraries?
    Thanks.
    Ed

    There's no fast rule sayng you must, and I suspect most people only use one.
    You might want to set up a second library if your first one is so huge that it is slow to operate.  Split your media. For example, I don't listen to classical and rock music at the same time and could restart iTunes ffrom a different library when the time came to switch.
    I have a few extra libraries. One's for music I organized for a special occasion but don't really listen to myself and don't want it cluttering mine. I also have a special library for my mp3 player (not an Apple model) with its own set of files which match some in my main library but they are tagged differently to be compatible with the player's quirks.
    I could also see having a different library for files on an external drive if you have some on your internal drive too.  You might, for example, have a bunch of movie files on an external drive that you don't normally need to have plugged in all the time and don't want iTunes giving you a bunch of exclamation marks if are using it to play your music media on your internal drive.

  • I have windows 7 and I can't sign into ITunes.  Message says to turn off compatibility mode to use.  How and why do I need to do this?

    I have Windows 7.  I was previously using Windows 98 when I set up ITunes and developed a library of music and movies.  When I try to log in I keep getting a message stating that am using an older version of Windows and that I need to turn off "compatability mode to use ITunes.  Where and why do I need to do this?

  • Share no longer working without restarting iTunes. Why?

    Hey guys.
    Once upon a time, I could open a video in QuickTime, select Share > iTunes and the video would appear in my iTunes library automatically after processing. For the past month or two (perhaps since upgrading to Lion), I've found I have to restart iTunes for it to recognise the new import.
    Does anyone else have this problem and/or know if there's a fix?

    I just figured it out. My computer is wirelessly connected to my network and when it restarted after the Mavericks update it connected to my guest network. I disabled sharing on my guest network, so that was why....lol I guess I should check the obvious things before I ask a question? I am leaving this up just in case someone else makes the dumb mistake I did.....lol
