Why does iPhone (3gs) sound better than Macs via Bluetooth?

Why does my iPhone (3gs) sound so much better via Bluetooth on my (Jawbone) Jambox than my new Mac Mini or 3 year old MacBook Pro?  Proxmity is about the same and doesn't seem to make a difference.
sound from via Bluetooth sounds muted like in a cave or can, pretty darn good from the iPhone, ideas? (in a test I did with a Braven speaker via Bluetooth = same, in that case the Macs sounded even worse!)
Thanks,
Paul

If I were you then I would have asked this question in the mac forums
as people there have a much much higher chance of owning those macs then people in the iphone forum who could own windows computer or linux computer or no computer at all

  • Why does my Shuffle sound better than my Nano?

    I have a 1st Gen Shuffle and a 2nd Gen Nano. I run them both from the same computer, using the same version of iTunes on the same account.
    Unless my ears are playing me up the sound from the shuffle seems to be better. The nano sometimes sounds a bit fuzzy on bass notes, this is particularly noticeable on bass drum beats where the beat sounds almost crackly. I particularly noticed this on the Amy Winehouse album (May mean nothing to you)and thought it may be authentic crackle from a sampled drum loop, but it does not do this on the shuffle.
    I have swapped the headphones and fiddled with the Eq on the Nano, which can sometimes improve but not remove the problem.
    Is there anything I can do or is this just one of those things?

    It's one of those things... the 1st Gen Shuffle has a different processor (sigmatel) AND a different digital audio decoder chip from the 2nd Gen nano (Samsung) which, in turn has a processor and digital decoder related to the 2nd Gen Shuffle.
    It's one of life's strange turns that the 1st Gen Shuffle seems to have the BEST audio performance (although without builtin equalization) of the iPods.

    From your point of view and the framing of your question, Apple does indeed support WIndows better than Mac for the limited issue of iCloud.

    ...YET, Leopard and Snow Leopard are NOT iCloud compatible. How can that be justified? Obviously, Apple can make iCloud available to Snow Leopard, but disdains us...
    Historically speaking, Apple has rarely gone backwards in its OS development.  Once they have released a new OS with new technology, I can only think of one example of when they backtracked:  They released TrueType technology in System 7 and then released System 6.0.8, which included TrueType technology for continuing System 6 users.
    So it is part of their culture to move forward and not backwards.  Other examples:
    •  Inclusion of the then novel SONY 3.5" disk drive in its release of the first Macintosh (and not the industry standard 5.25" drive); after its use in the Lisa and adoption for the Apple II series of computers.
    •  Elimination of the floppy drive completely in the release of the first iMac.
    •  Use of then novel AAC audio compression as "state of the art" compression for the iPod release in 2001 instead of the outdated mp3 standard.
    •  Refusal to allow use of FLASH in iPod Touch/iPhone/iPads.
    How could they justify these decisions?  The marketplace justified them for Apple!
    So, yes, they could release 10.6.9 with iCloud support.  But why now, if not then?

  • TS1398 why does iphone 3gs switch from wifi to 3g while still in wifi range?

    I have an iphone 3gs and recently updated to ios 5.1.1.Now I'm having trouble with my wifi switching back to 3g,while still in wifi range.Didn't have this problem before i updated to ios 5.1.1 software.How do I resolve this issue?

    I said WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), not WAP (Wireless Access Point)
    If you have wi-fi you already have an Access Point, either as a separate box or (more likely) as part of your router.  Go into your router's administration to see what kind of security you're using.  If you're using WEP, which is an older technology that is not very secure, your router may very likely provide WPA2 as an option.  If so, try using that along with a new passcode for the network.  You'll likely have to "forget the network" on your device and then re-connect and re-enter your new passcode.

  • Why does my PS work better than my Lightroom 5 exporting jpegs from raw files?

    So,
    I'm editing some raw files with Lightroom 5
    but when I export the jpg file, the result is terrible, it looks washed out, loses contrast, noise levels are higher than the edited file on suite
    However, if I do the same thing using camera raw through PsCS6, the exported jpg is perfect. Any reason for that to happen?
    've been reading a lot about color spaces, and I don't think is the case, since the same doesn't happen with photoshop.
    Also, it might be worth mentioning I'm exporting B&W images
    Thanks!

    ok
    just to illustrate the problem a little better, here's the actual difference
    this is what I have in Lightroom after editing:
    and here's what I get after exporting

  • How do you send contacts from iphone 3gs (ios 5.0.1) via bluetooth to my car?

    My JVC KW-NT30HD is capable of importing my contacts, and in fact has a set procedure. When I get to the step that involves the phone it says see phone instructions. Other than marking share contacts under blue tooth, is there a way to push it to the stereo?

    This is under the control of the car system, it must request the contacts from the phone. Normally car systems (and good BT headsets) have a function for doing this. You will need to pair the car with the iPhone first, if you haven't already.

  • Why my iphone 3gs doesn't appears in windows bou not in itunes..??

    why my iphone 3gs doesn't appears in windows bou not in itunes..??
    That damage happen, before i upgrade my iphone.. After back up proses, the iphone can't appears in my itunes...
    please help meee...

    Sounds like your iPhone is locked to your home carrier.
    See if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. Otherwise,
    there is nothing you can do besides rent/but a cheap
    phone for your month in Argentina.

  • Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open

    Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open. Brand new are there any upates I am unaware of?

    "sync" fails to open?  Do you mean, iTunes?
    If you manually open iTunes, does your iPhone show up in the left column?
    If so...
    Click on your iPhone in the left column of iTunes.
    Click on the "Summary" tab in the right colum of iTunes.
    Scroll down to "Options"
    Select "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected"
    Apply
    My apologies if I misunderstood the question.

  • Why does my Premiere Elements 10 for mac freeze?

    Why does my Premiere Elements 10 for mac freeze (makes spinning circle loading) and doesn't stop when I am asked to select my country/region? I already had trouble downloading it originally because there was an error downloading, and then the following image happens (note: the screenshot couldn't capture the spinning circle freeze, but just look at the "application not responding" message below):
    Why does this happen? I downloaded and opened photoshop elements 10 (that came with the bundle) fine, but I can't open this.
    For reference, I am using a mac book pro from 2012 that is 64bit on OS X 10.8.5.
    Edit: Also, for the aforementioned error that I was getting earlier when installing, I would try to install and then half way through it said that the download failed. I had to follow the second method to fix in this link:

    I do not think we are in sync yet, but I will need to sign off soon. It is about 1 am where I am.
    1. Not sure what you mean by 2 warranty licenses that the CD comes ith in the package.
    If you purchased the Premiere Elements 10 Mac in boxed packaging, then you should have an installation disc and a purchased serial number. You cannot lose that. You can install and reinstall the program when you need to do so. There is no limit on uninstalling or reinstalling. The only limit is Adobe allows you to have your purchased serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. We can talk about it some more if necessary but there is a distinction between Deactivate and Uninstall. There has not been a limit on Deactivations in years.
    Another approach if you think your installation files or disc is corrupt is to download tryout files from the following web site and then install from them and insert you purchased serial number at installation.
    http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    You have to read the Note: Very Important Instructions very carefully otherwise you end up with Access Denied.
    If you think that we are now in sync, then I would suggest
    a. Delete the preference file (settings file)
    or
    b. Deactivate, uninstall, ccleaner run through, reinstall as per your instructions that worked for you.
    I will be watching for further details in the morning. Hopefully some of the Premiere Elements Mac users will join the thread to give the Mac perspective to the situation.
    Thanks.

  • Why does iPhone 5 shuts down in  2 C degrees? This should be inside operating temperature limits?

    Hello,
    Why does iPhone 5 shuts down with  +2 C (celsius) degrees outside? This should be inside operating temperature limits? I´m living in Estonia and I was using iPhone 5 approximately 1 hour with +2 C (celsius) outside. Suddenly it just powered itself off with 25% of remaining battery. I was not able to switch it on again before warming it up inside the house.
    I´ve been reading lots of similar complaints regarding other customers iPhone 5-s. Seems that the problem may be the aluminium back cover and thin, large-surfaced battery cause older iPhones are operating with same temperature just fine. Do you have any plan to fix this issue in the future?
    Best regards,
    Silver Siilak

    You're not speaking to Apple, just your fellow users.  The specs say it's good down to 0°C... sounds like you have a hardware problem, likely battery.  Contact Apple, it's still under warranty.
    Hint: NEVER put your personal info in a public forum.  Edit your post to remove this info.  Also, I'll ask the moderators to do it if you can't.

  • HT3777 why does my boot camp on my mac pro ask for a windows 7 disk

    why does my boot camp on my mac pro ask for a windows 7 disk?  Can I just install my vista home premium in and proceed?

    Lion and Mountain Lion can only install 7 under BootCamp.
    You can load Vista under a VM (virtual machine) such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox (Oracle ownload).

  • How to I transfer my Itunes on my Iphone 3gs to my new mac?

    How do i transfer my itunes on my Iphone 3gs to my new mac? My old laptop died so I am unable to access my itunes on my computer but would like to retrieve the songs I purchased previously.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone.  Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases.
    If you sync contacts and calendars to a blank computer, then they will be erased as well. Another reason a backup copy is critical.  If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer, then you should get the option to merge the data.
