Wireless Keyboard connection lost
Ok so my wireless keyboard to my iMac suddenly stopped working at random and I can't type anything. If I had read posts on the internet first I would have known the likely fix is to go into preferences and re-sync the keyboard in devices but a little voice in my head told me to reset my computer...- ImShane

iPad Pro Does Bluetooth in Pencil switch of when disconnected?
I was wondering when the Pencil is not connected with the iPad is it still emitting radiation or is it automatically switched off. Does anyone happen to know about the technical background of Bluetooth devices. (I know it's not that dangerous, I'd just like to know if this thing is on or off.)...- imagirlfriday

I've tried re-installing Sierra, SMC reset, and NVRAM reset. I've tried deleting the bluetooth plist file. When I go to About this Mac and select System...- Treadpool

iPhone drops Bluetooth speaker connexion for Phone app
the title should say it all. Bluetooth works with all my audio apps but when I place a phone call it drops the Bluetooth connection and resets it immediately after I hang up. I suspect this behavior is not avoidable.- SeptimusFry

Beats Solo 3 - Keep needing to re-pair
Anyone else got these? They've been fine for the most part. However it seems after they've been turned off for a few hours the next time you turn them on they don't automatically pair, you have to put them close to the phone again and click the little dialog box to say 'connect'. Pretty sure it...- neiled

iPhone 7 and bluetooth car audio
For some reason the bluetooth audio cuts out after a track or two and will not come back on until restarting bluetooth all together on my 2015 BMW with iDrive (latest idrive firmware). I thought it was the OS at first so I did a network reset first that didn't help. Second I did a full erase of... -

How will a wireless future work with GarageBand?
With Apple pushing for a wireless audio future on their iPhones, one scenario holding them back for a (probably small) group of people is with their own Garageband app and similar apps. Garageband requires wired headphones to hear a track while recording a new track on top, in order to stay... -

Since updating to iOS 10, Siri is now cut off when I use Apple Maps through my car's Bluetooth (not CarPlay, BTW). She'll go to say, for example, "Start at Smith Street," but only get through "Start at" and then stop. If I'm playing music or a podcast, it will pause for the full length of what... -

Hi all I've decided to create this post to hopefully impart some wisdom/experience onto you guys. A while back I broke the headphone jack on my iPhone 6 and was forced to go wireless as I didn't have a headphone jack BEFORE Apple made it cool. Since then I have upgraded to a 6S+ and although... -
