This device shows up in my Bluetooth window on my MacBook as PH-BT1000 HEADSEAT not SPEAKER. And it says it's paired but then doesn't work. ????

When you connect to the BT 1000 go to the tools and change the setting to speaker only/media only, that should fix it, I know my computer only recognizes only headphones, not speaker, but still works fine.

Check the sound output option to make sure that you are indeed using it as your main output source.Test the speaker with another bluetooth device to see where the fault lies.

I would go to the Kenwood site and find out if there is a newer firmware version for the BT300 than your current version. I updated mine a while back and have since sold the car it was installed in. As I recall the update was done using a Bluetooth connection between the BT300 and my Bluetooth capable laptop and the whole process was pretty easy following the instructions they gave. Have no idea if they have a Mac version. There are some setup selections in the head units Bluetooth settings that could be affecting your phone connection and as I remember you have to turn off and not allow the connection to playback audio files on your phone or you will have the problem of sporadic phone call capability connection.

This worked for me also. I accidentally missed step 3, but it found the headset anyway. I had trouble getting it to connect (right click on headset in bluetooth device menu -> Control then pushing the connect button), but after a couple off/on cycles of the headset and hitting the connect button after turning on, it finally connected and now I have music playing. Thanks to OP for solution.

My macbook had the same issue although these headphones work great with my ipad and iphone.If you havent already tried this, I recommend you hold down the power button on the earphones until the light begins cycling red and blue. This is the pairing mode and generally works

on my computer a popup from the computer appears which says something about not being able to connect bluetooth devices.... I have no other experience than that to report.

Never wanted or had a apple device, check with an apple user. I would imagine since I think the Bluetooth format is universal, it SHOULD work, but again, not an apple person.

Your mac cant find the speaker? Have you paired things before? Silly question but is the blue light flashing on the speaker when you're trying to pair it?

Ok what i did is that i just turn on the bluetooth interface on my macbook then turn on my jlab by pressing that left button in front. My macbook was able to recognized it and jusg connect right away. You will hear a single beep when it connects.

I ordered the Bluetooth version (2 times) but the seller (iPazzPort) sent me the non-BT Dongle version both time, so am not sure of the BT sync functionality. On the whole since it is working correctly with my laptop, I kept the device. I tried contacting iPazzPort but they are not reachable.

Thanks for the feedback Ryan. In fact, i was able to solve this by using one simple piece of kit - a USB 2.0 to 3.5mm jack. It works flawlessly since the audio is now going through USB as opposed to the 3.5MM analog port on the MBP. BIRUGEAR USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Female Audio Stereo Microphone Adapter + Neck Strap Lanyard

The best thing I can think of is to 'delete' the speaker as a device from whatever you were synching it to, then have it 'discover' the speaker again. I seem to remember having to try that when I had been synching it to my iPhone, then switched over to almost exclusively using it with my Macbook.

I don't think I've tried pairing it with my MacBook Pro, but try the Bluetooth setup assistant. I've had that work for other devices that weren't found automatically.

Using a Mac with osX10.7 I was able, not on a Mac with osX 10.5.8- I do not have access to a PC with Bluetooth to say so or not.

Always, always update the Bluetooth stack on your computer or device before returning anything, it it is not updated automatically and updates will likely fix any issues. I haven't been using mine with the dongle so I don't know about issues there

From reading your problem, after it is installed you need to go into the device manager , remove all the Bluetooth devices that have and exclamation mark or question mark, then restart your computer and you should be fine. If you are trying to connect a Bluetooth headset make sure that it supports ad2p

I'm not familiar with Macs but here is a website article that seems to answer your question: http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_can_i_pair_connect_bluetooth_speakers_mac_macbook/
