    Airpods with old versions of OS X?

    I recently bought the Airpods Pro (gen 2). They work with my modern iPhone and Apple Watch, and my Nintendo Switch. However, I can't seem to make them consistently work with my desktop or laptop which both run OS X 10.9 Mavericks. I of course don't expect the automagic Apple ID syncing stuff to...

    Ventura 13.1b3 Bluetooth Audio borked

    I updated to Ventura 13.1b3 and find the AirPod's audio Bluetooth completely borked. This is on my Mac Studio, where all three types I own were working fine before. Now they stutters and stop, play only on one head set, etc. Anybody else seeing this?

    Media player apps seemingly unable to start playback at bluetooth connect

    Having just switched back to iPhone (after several years with Android) I was surprised that when my device connects to a bluetooth output device (like headset or car stereo) playback does not start automatically. Interestingly in the net there's a lot of people not liking this and complaining...

    Anyone ever had music playing over your phone call while using hands free mode?

    Somehow my car sound system was playing music from my iPhone which was surprising but sounded great (none of the music sucked), and I searched, at a stoplight, the phone number for a store I was heading to to make sure they had something I was looking for. I hear the ringing through the...

    I can't figure out why my iPhone keeps disconnecting from my car ...

    Lately when I am listening to music on my iPhone 11 Pro through my car stereo (via Bluetooth) and I ask Siri a question, (sometimes) my music will quit playing through via Bluetooth and will start playing on the built in speaker on my iPhone. When I look at my car stereo it says that it is still...

    Old ipads and new bluetooth speakers (iPad Air 1st gen)

    I'm looking for feedback and advice towards finding a compatible bluetooth speaker model, to pair with an old ipad of mine. Past experience has taught me that getting bluetooth devices to communicate is far from guaranteed - especially when there is an age gap in the hardware. Unexpected...

    iPhone 8/Plus Bluetooth audio bug - anyone else get this?

    Hi all, This has been happening to me for literally years, so I'm wondering if anyone else gets it. I also want to try and figure out if getting a CarPlay unit will make it go away... So, every time I get in my Toyota Corolla with stock radio, the bluetooth auto-connects and audio starts...

    iPhone XS Max plays Bluetooth audio in car but cannot be controlled from car

    On my 6 Plus with all versions of iOS 12, the communication between the phone and car was perfect with Pandora and Apple Music. Album art and song artist/title always displayed, and I could control the music apps from the car controls. This car, a Tesla Model S does not have Car Play, but...

    Third-Party audio adapters that respect set volume limits? (sorry for double post on iPhone forum)

    I've had the iPhone 8 for just over a week now, and I am having serious issues with finding lightning jack adapters and bluetooth devices that don't ignore the volume limit I use for listening to music. I'm pretty sensitive to loud noises and music, and any accessories besides the original jack...

    iPad AirPods not connecting with iPad Air 2

    Yesterday I had an issue with my AirPods: they appeared as tuned off. So I reset them and paired them again with my iCloud (via my iPhone 6s Plus). Now they work again with the iPhone and the MacBook, but the iPad Air 2 doesn't see the AirPods. In the Bluetooth settings they seem paired. How...

    Logitech Bluetooth adapter and other devices

    I just got the Logitech Bluetooth adapter for my speakers, which works great, but its connectivity is really aggressive. For example, if I turn on my Bluetooth headphones, they'll briefly connect and then disconnect a few seconds later, leaving only the adapter connected. Similarly, if I try to...
