Yosemite Bugs, Bluetooth and Audio

MacBook Retina Early 2013. Bluetooth does not connect to any devices, Apple phone, iPad. and audio output has stopped working since Yosemite update. I am desperate for solutions. Can anyone help. How can Apple launch a new update with some many bugs. It is a disgrace.

Using Windows Update will cause untold grief, especially for drivers. I have the same hardware and W8.1 64-bit (not Pro). The BC drivers work without any issues.

Yosemite airplay video and audio stutter

After upgrading to the official Yosemite /not the beta version/ on my iMac 2013 and MBP the airplay streaming of video and audio through any of my two Apple TVs results in intermittent audio and video stuttering which can drive one crazy. Sound and picture are choppy no matter from which computer or to which apple tv streaming is implemented. Any advice how to fix this issue - airplay has become practically unusable to me and family....

You can see here that many people report for this problem.Unfortunately, OS X Yosemite has a minor bug and can stream correct video and audio to Apple TV via AirPlay. You can not do nothing expect to wait for next OS X update. I have same problem and can use my apple TV.
I don't know why Apple doesn't fix this before official OS X Yosemite release, because this problem was report in there beta program from many users.

Can anyone help with Bluetooth and Audio output conflict?

Audio ouput from media files on Quicktime, Real Player and Windows Media will only play through my Bluetooth headset .
I have tried resetting the Audio output preferences to no effect. Also tried reinstalling Bluetooth devices.
When opening file the player returns the following message:
"There was an error connecting to your headset. Make sure it is turned on and in range. The audio portion of the program you were using may have to be restarted."
Please Help!
Mac Book Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Sorry for repeat but new to this.

Hey DS.. Im having the same exact issue as you and Im sure alot of other people are as well... it seems to be touch and go. I currently own a Mac Mini Solo with an intel 1.5 ghz processor and I have a Motorolo H700 Bluetooth headset. I can get mine to work for a short while watching movies or what not or use it in iChat but then after so many minutes my computer has a spastic fit with the thing and i get the exact error message you described. However when I attempt to go back into my Audio Control Panel to switch audio from the BT headset back to the line out.. the control panel seems to freeze up as well causing me to reboot my entire system just enough to switch the audio back to the line out. I think that this is an issue on apples end that they need to update their blue tooth software or something as you really cannot update software to a BT headset only the device it communicates with. So I think in the meantime we are all screwed until apples gets off their butts and does something about this.

Bluetooth and Audio no longer work after 10.8.5 update

Hi,
I just updated my MBP (MacBookPro3,1) from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5. After reboot my Bluetooth is "not available" with a squiggly line through it in the menu bar and my audio is greyed out. Has anyone else had this problem? I tried using the combo updater, resetting the PRAM, clearing system caches etc. and nothing seems to have brought it back to life. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I've been struggling with this for 2 days, since I upgraded to 10.8.5 which I needed to go to get the latest iTunes, which I needed to upgrade my iPhone and iPad to IOS7 . . . yes, right down the garden path I walked
MacBook Pro 17", early 2009.
After the 10.8.5 upgrade Bluetooth is Not Available, same as seanluck13.
-System Preferences: no sign of Bluetooth
-System Search: no sign of Bluetooth
-System Profile Information: Bluetooth: No Information Found
-So Bluetooth is absent, removed, not present -- AGHHHHH!!!!!
Apple BT keyboard and trackpad can't be used. MacBook trackpad is worn out and I get wrist strain trying to activate it!
I read on a forum that a fix was to reinstall the system over the internet after a CMD-OPT-R restart. Did that -- 5 HOURS LATER -- NO CHANGE, BLUETOOTH STILL ABSENT !@(%&( )TY(@Q#*!!
Please someone help me before I throw this Mac down the garbage shoot. At the moment that's only a fantasy.

Bluetooth Headphones Audio Delayed after Updating to Yosemite

Ever since I upgraded to OS X Yosemite my Bluetooth headphones have started having pretty drastic delays on my iMac. When I first start up the computer it seems normal, but after a half an hour or so, I have more than a 2 second delay.
I googled it and found that lots of people have this problem, but I haven't found any fixes. Is there anything I can do??

I Just got an update on my bug report from Apple yesterday. They think they've fixed the bug in the next release 10.10.8.2.
Hopefully this does the trick and it's just a matter of time Before we all get the update.
I Havent been able to confirm the fix, but it's something!

IPhone 4: Since iOS5 Bluetooth issues when connected to car hands free and audio system

Hi @ all,
this discussion is either a kind of "warning" for those who hadn't yet updated to iOS 5 and a beg to Apple for fixing the issue:
Obviously the iOS 5 does have some problems with VW and Ford (germany) modells equipped with handsfree and audio systems (googling a little bit resulted in many, many complaints in german discussion forums about it). Unfortunatelly I'm facing these problems now too:
Issue 1:
When the iPhone is connected to the audio-system of the car via Bluetooth, the Audio Slider on the iPhone doesn't work any longer. The only thing that it is capable to do is, if you slide it completely to the left, which results in switching the audio completely off.
Issues 2 (much more annoying):
When the iPhone is connected to the handsfree system of the car, the ringtone volume is obviously set to "off" or at least "extreme low". This doesn't harm when using the phone with the handsfree since the ringtone still is coming from the cars loudspeakers. But as soon as you leave the car and the bluetooth connection is disconnected, the ringtone audio on the iPhone is STILL set to "off". Means: Each time, when you leave your car, you have to increase the ringtone volume manually.
Issue 1 is more a "not nice" or a "OK, it's first release" bug. But issue 2 would have been a reason for me to wait for upgrading to iOS 5, since I'm using my iPhone as a business tool and am quite frequent on travel.
To verify that I hadn't had a bug when upgrading for the first time my iPhone, I completely set my phone back to factory default, put it in maintenance mode and re-flashed it completely anew using iTunes. I only performed minimal setup to make sure, nothing else could cause this. The issue still remained, therefore it was clear to me, it is iOS 5. I never had any of these issues with iOS 3 und 4. A probable "workaround" would be a downgrade, but this doesn't work, as known, either.
@ Apple Engineering: Please fix this as soon as possible!
Cheers,
Frank

Good question... I haven't found a "reliable" way of sending constructive(!) Feedback to those at Apple who really care. I remember the beginning days of Mac OS X, when the reply-link was even on top of the dock.
Maybe I'm just not aware of working feedback channels, I only can hope that some of Apple's people with "influence" read statements like this...
Cheers,
Frank

IOS 8 and Bluetooth Phone and Audio Streaming Failing

I have a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder and a 2015 Nissan Leaf, both with bluetooth phone integration and audio streaming support. Both cars worked fine when I had two iPhone 5s paired to both cars and running latest iOS 7. Both phones worked in both cars and could fully integrate to make calls and also to stream audio from device to car.
When I upgraded one iPhone 5s to iOS 8 and replaced the other with an iPhone 6Plus running iOS 8, both are having problems with both cars.
1. Both gave a "failed connection" message but the phones do actually pair.
2. Both cars show a phone handset with a line through it on the in-car display which means no connection.
3. The "5 bars" cell signal indicator on the in-car display no longer shows up.
3. Outgoing calls made from phone and put through car system work fine except for some garbled audio.
4. Incoming calls make the wrong screen appear on the nissan display and can not be answered by the display on the car. Pushing the answer button on the in-car display doesn't do anything.
Lots of other tiny issues. Apple needs a fix here. I called Nissan and they said it's 100% Apple's fault.
Anyone else having issues with Nissan Bluetooth integration or any other manufacturer?

We have a 2008 Nissan Sentra - The bluetooth pairs ok. When a call comes in on my 5S or my wife's 4S the bluetooth does not do anything. The bluetooth does not ring and it does not connect to the call. The call has to be answered on the phone. Like I said, the phones are paired. You can access Siri through the bluetooth to initiate a call. Once the call is connecting, the bluetooth drops off and there is no sound. Just like when you receive a call. Apple needs to fix this. This is completely ridiculous. I WAS going to buy an iPhone 6. I will not if this is not fixed.

I have a big problem with IOS 6 and audio bluetooth

My Radio Car Pioneer AVH-2400 BT dont work with bluetooth, no tag, no control, just possibility to play from iPhone. All the function is OK in IOS 5
Nothing jn IOS 6 :-(
Plus de fonction Bluetooth audio depuis le passage en IOS 6 avec mon autoradio Pioneer AVH-2400 BT, tout fonctionnait bien sur IOS 5, maintenant je peux juste lire depuis l'iPhone et plus d'affichage d'infos sur le titre ou l'album (TAG)
Je viens d'acheter cet autoradio il y a 1 mois, c'est un modèle 2012 !
Help!

I have an iPhone4 and a Pioneer AVH-P2400BT car unit. I've upgraded to IOS 6. The update (from what I've tried and what I can tell) is NOT reversible.
Here's what I've found happening between the iPhone & Pioneer for bluetooth streaming audio:
1. The track/artist info no longer displays.
2. The track skip buttons no longer function.
3. The pause/play button no longer functions. It may SEEM like it does, but it simply mutes the audio, the content continues to play (silently) on the iPhone.
4. The content no longer resumes when the vehicle is started.
5. The content will pause when the vehicle is turned off, but a couple of seconds continue (silently) on the iPhone.
6. If content is paused by the vehicle being turned off, it will resume playing on the iPhone speakers following an incoming phone call, whether answered or not. (This can be a little embarrassing, depending on the content of your prefferred podcasts! )

Ics broke bluetooth to auto for calls and audio playback

After upgrading to ICS (4.0.4) on my RAZR MAXX, I can no longer maintain a bluetooth session with my car and the audio playback is not working at all. The connection begins and drops after less than 1 minute. This cycle repeats. Calls and audio worked with the same car configuration in Android 2.3.4. After a long search on the net I learn that this is a common problem. Has anyone heard about a patch or work around? I tried disabling wifi - no joy.

I have the same problem with my DROID RAZR. I use a Plantronics Pro+ headset and regularly have hour long conference calls. I had no connection problems prior to ICS. When I upgraded to ICS, the Bluetooth connection started dropping. It will drop then reconnect, then drop, then reconnect, every couple minutes. I end up holding my phone to one ear with the Bluetooth on the other, the call rotates between them. VERY ANNOYING. UNACCEPTABLE. I tried a second Bluetooth headset (also Plantronics Pro+). it worked for about 2 days, then had the same problem.
From reading various postings, I believe this is a problem with ICS and the Bluetooth connection. Nothing to do with what type of headset, automobile, etc. It may be only those of us that had Android 2.3.4 and upgraded to ICS.

Choppy Video and Audio in Chrome after update to Yosemite

Anyone having the same issue as me? In Chrome my video and audio is choppy (play 1/2 second, pause, play again, etc). If I close Chrome (and quit all the way), and restart all is good for a few hours, then right back to the choppy playback (YouTube, Pandora, anything...). Only since updating to Yosemite. Any tips/suggestions?

I have this issue as well.
Only way I know to fix it is to CMD + Q and quit the Chrome process entirely. I'm a web developer so it's super awesome when I have to kill my 20 browser sessions just to fix this issue.
I have confirmed this issue happens in the HTML 5 video player as well as in Flash video.
NOTE: In the video below the audio/video skipping is part of the recording.

When will the bluetooth support audio alerts for email and text messages?

When will the bluetooth support audio alerts for email and text messages? It works when I get a phone call, but I'd like it to work when getting a text message (I do this a lot in noisier areas and would rather not have to look at the phone every few minutes)
Or is there a configuration option I'm missing?

TS1630 I can't get my music to play all of sudden. It happened after I paired the audio with my Maxima. I turned off bluetooth and it still would not play

I tried the hard start and still the same! If I go under artist
I can get it to start playing one song. Then if I try shuffle
Nothing !! Then I can't get it to play anymore.
Very annoying

Yosemite issues with Airplay (audio and video stuttering)

I have two very annoying issues with Airplay after upgrading to OS Yosemite (these issues were non-existent with the OS Maverciks) -
1. Periods of Image and audio stuttering lasting approximately 20 seconds, coming on and off at regular and frequent intervals,
2. It is virtually impossible to disconnect the airplay from the Apple TV by selecting "disconnect airplay display" - one needs to restart the machine to disconnect.
The configuration I am using includes the latest release of Apple TV (with latest software), the latest Airport Extreme (with latest software) and the 2013 iMac with the latest OS - Yosemite. I would like to reiterate there was no image and video choppiness / stuttering issue with Macericks. A serach for the stuttering issue shows it was reported by other users as well (following upgrade to the official Yosemite) and was first reported by a number of users during the beta testing of Yosemite.
I would appreciate your advice how to fix the issue.

Hold down the menu and down buttons on the apple TV remote for 6 seconds. It worked for me.
I must admit to be getting a little tired of finding workarounds to Apple's glitches. I now spend hours searching the net to find out how to get their products to do what they say they will.
Remember when things just worked?

Yosemite: Bluetooth and speakers (again!)

Hi there!
instead of a question I'd like to share what happened, and maybe over there could have a clue.
MacBook Pro and Yosemite.
With first beta I succeeded to connect my JBL Onbeat Awake, and all of this worked until the final release. After that, and I'm still asking why, they stopped working without a valid reason (AFAIK). Until tonight.
By chance, while reconnecting a Magic Mouse I've removed speakers from the list of paired devices, paired again... and they're magically working!
What the ****!?
(Sorry for my bad english )

I have the Beats Wireless headphones and they were working perfectly fine with my Mac (mid-2010 iMac) prior to the Yosemite upgrade. After the Yosemite upgrade, when streaming audio to the headphones, there is a noticeable and annoying audio skip (silent pulse) that occurs roughly every 6 seconds. This anomaly unfortunately renders the headphones useless with the Mac as a wireless headset. I truly do hope that Apple provides a fix in an OSX update soon, especially as Beats headphones are now a product of Apple.

Yosemite in general and Office 2011 for Mac compatibility?

Hi,
Has anyone installed Office 2011 on Yosemite and what has been your experience?
On a related note, I have not yet updated to Yosemite and reading the many, many comments on the community, on other sites and in the App Store... I have concerns! Should I install or just wait for 10.10.1?
Thanks
(mid 2014 rMBP 13", 2.6 GHz i5, 8Gb, 256Gb)

Hi friends, I installed Yosemite in October and since then, I am having the following issue with Word / Powerpoint:
When I am trying to safe a file, in the "Safe under..." dialogue box, the part of the window with the cover flow is flickering and my computers performance is extremely delayed. Initially, I was thinking about a bug in the presentation which I was working on; however, just recently I noticed the same issue in MS Word. And this is my equipment:
- Mac Book Pro 13'' i7 from mid-2012 with 8GB memory, 500 GB HD storage, Mac-OS X 10.10.1
- MS Office for Mac 2011, last installed update 14.4.6 (The problem occurred already prior to the latest software update - however, the update didn't fix the issue...)
Is anyone of you experiencing similar problems? Does anybody have an idea how to fix it?
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
NT
