    Video Streaming via Bluetooth

    Hello guys. I bought an Apple TV under the assumption that I could just mirror my phone screen to my TV to watch videos so I wouldn’t have to use my Wi-Fi hotspot. (The struggle of a broke college kid). Anyway, every time I try to watch a title on Netflix or a video on YouTube or whatever on my...

    Unforget Bluetooth Device Help

    About three weeks whenever my iPhone 8 (iOS 11.3) connected via bluetooth to my car it would say "phone book update failed" over the car speaker. After unsuccessful attempts to fix this, I chose to forget this device with the intent of repairing the phone to the car. Now, the phone will not see...

    Bluetooth transfer to PC

    Is there a way to transfer files (photos, videos, etc.) wirelessly from an iphone 7 plus to a windows 10 PC and vice versa (without using airdrop, itunes, and wifi). Only using bluetooth (like how many android phones do by paring devices).

    Bad bluetooth signal but WIFI good

    I have a Macbook Pro mid 2012 non retina. My issue is that my wifi signal is ok but bluetooth is very poor, like 6 feet away from my speaker and I already get choppy sound (RSSI: -85 dBm). My iPhone connects with no problem, so am I just to say that it's not external interference? Maybe someone...

    Hi All A month ago I purchased a 27" iMac to replace my old mid-2007 iMac. I've been having bluetooth issues right from the outset. When I first set it up, it took awhile for it to recognise the keyboard and mouse via bluetooth. I chalked that down to first installation pains. After...

    Anyone else having bluetooth issues with 10.13.3? (iMac 2017)

    Hi! I have been having pretty severe bluetooth issues with my iMac 2017 since 10.13.3. I don't know if it's related to that update, or if it just happened at the same time anyways. It has at least gotten a lot worse since installing 10.13.3 for one reason or another. Ever since I bought it, I...

    I've noticed that whenever I initiate or accept a phone call on my Apple Watch, the call always gets routed through the Apple Watch. There are some scenarios where I'd like it to behave differently, most notably when I have a handsfree device connected via Bluetooth to my iPhone. In that case...

    I have had iPhones since the original I now have an iPhone X and really like it. I went to bluetooth headsets very early and I have had perhaps a half dozen different models. My previous headset was a Powerbeats3 with the Apple chip in it. My current set is a pair of Airpods I bought about 3...

    Beats X headphones suddenly make no sound on my MBP 10.9.5

    It was working fine with my MBP for the first few months and then all of a sudden it stopped maybe a month or two ago. Possibly because of an automatic firmware update on the headphones. It pairs and the MBP shows it is connected, but sound doesn't come through the headphones. You can even hear...
