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

I've seen many reviews on different bluetooth headsets and the same complaints are with itunes not working right.......evidently it may be something with itunes, not your PC.

I have the same stereo motorola bluetooth Ithink. I can only guess why and it IS complicated.On my PC, I have the default audio input and outputs... so the PC has defaults, if the wrong one is selected that may be an issue.More important is that when a program using audio loads for simplicity sake it is going to load audio "into" whats available, if the bluetooth is missing, and the program is loaded, I think there is no way to have it go through the audio "load" portion of the program again.

I newer didn't have Ipod and I'm not sure that iPod has Bluetooth connection at all. Regarding other devices which haves Bluetooth connection, put your device in pairing mode, then press Pairing button on the top of right earphone for 3 seconds. It will start blinking blue light fast. At that time on your device find DRBT101 headphones and press "Pair". After pairing is completed blue LED will blink slowly (once in 5 seconds). That is all.

I have a number of bluetooth devices and and another similar bluetooth receiver for a 30 pin apple ipod/ipad dock and I can say all bluetooth devices "forget" from time to time. With the GoGroove, after the initial pairing, if I power it on and if I do not have any other bluetooth headphones or other bluetooth devices turned on nearby, the GOgroove usually finds my ipod right away. I have a set of bluetooth headphones and a iHome speaker which pair with no problem about 80% of the time, but sometimes it's necessary to "re pair" or forget the device then set it up again. I suspect it's a problem of both the sending device and the bluetooth receivers ability to recognize each other and confusion when multiple bluetooth devices are on at the same time. I use the GOgroove with a set of hearing protectors out in my woodshop, and most of the time it pairs up with no issues.

I turned both on. Then I went to set up in my iPad. Then I pushed Bluetooth on my iPad. When it recognize the headphone, I tapped it And they connected.

I did not know, so I went and tried this on an iPhone. Unfortunately, no, you get one or the other. If listening on the Bluetooth headphones, the sound is switched away when you plug in headphones. The other way around, playback stops when you unplug headphones. It will switch back to Bluetooth when you start playing again. But to be clear, I assume when you say "phone input" you actually mean headphones?

It can sometimes take a few tries which will be frustrating. This is especially true if your receiver is already paired with another device (even if not currently connected), but make sure it is not connected because this can prevent pairing altogether. For example if you are using an iPhone as well turn the bluetooth off on your iPhone. Then I suggest you turn off both the headset and the transmitter, then turn hour headset on and wait 2-6 seconds for it to enter pairing mode then turn the transmitter on. Repeat a few times if necessary. Good luck. It hasn't failed me yet.

Thanks for your inquiry. You may need to turn off bluetooth in one device and then turn bluetooth in the second. This is a fantastic sounding unit!

It depends. When you turn it on, hold it down until it sais 'pairing'. On your iphone or device, pair with the headset. It will beep, once it is paired you should see a flashing blue light

Did some testing back and forth between the Thunderbolt station and my computer... while the headphones worked fine, the playback / volume in iTunes cannot be controlled through the station. I had to do the test twice on the station because I almost never use headphones with my computer so I wanted to confirm the results.

The pause/ff/rewind functions with music will not work with any bluetooth headset - although I have heard with some that pause works but nothing else, I haven't seen one yet that works on music (just videos). Apple has not properly implemented the controls yet.

Dear Robert,Thank you for your question regarding our BTE40 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones. The BTE40 can store pairing information for multiple devices, but can only be actively connected to one device at a time. To switch devices, you will probably need to tap the BTE40 within the Bluetooth settings screen of your mobile device to reconnect, but a full pairing process will not be necessary.Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.Thank you,Kinivo Product SupportEmail: support@kinivo.comToll Free: 1-855-4Kinivo (1-855-454-6486)Live Chat: http://support.kinivo.com(Mon-Fri: 9am-5pm Pacific) Dear Robert,Thank you for your question regarding our BTE40 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones.

I just got these and had the same question, because my iPhone, iPad and Mac were always connecting to it so quickly that I couldn't pair it to the device I wanted. Figured it out, without having to do anything with the previous device. All you have to do is turn the headphones off (unless they are already off). Then hold down the power button and KEEP HOLDING IT even when the red/blue lights flash. Then while holding the power button still, select it on the device you want to use now. It connects to that device and you can let go of the button. Then repeat the process to pair it with the other device.

Make certain that you have you have your computer in discovery mode aswell. After charging your headphones fully hold the power button from off position until you see the red/blue leds. It doesn't work if the headsets are already on. You can only pair the headphones from the off position and if the computer is actively searching for it aswell.

As long as you have both devices paired already, Bluetooth will start streaming where your music was last played. Otherwise, open the application you wish to use and enjoy your music. I have Windows Phone. If I was listening to the Music Hub last, it will start that. If I was listening to Pandora last, it will start there. Etc., etc., etc. If no app was open when it connected, it automatically starts a shuffle of the Music Hub.

My headphone pair worked fine. I always turn on the headset on first and wait for the 2nd beep (the one that lets you know that the headphones are searchable), i go to my device and turn on it's blue tooth and look for RevJams. That's the name of my blue tooth headset. It might be yours too. Anyway, try turning on the headset first and then the device's bluetooth. Hope that helps! :)

Well I can't say for sure, as I don't have an iPhone with the current firmware. my guess is that you will have to "forget" the device in the iPhone bluetooth menu and then repair it like Nicole suggested.If the bluetooth doesn't even appear in the list of devices after the iPhone has been unpaired (forgotten it) then I would suspect that there might be something wrong with the earpiece. Before counting it as unusable, try pairing it with another device and see if it will recognize/connect.
