Bose soundlink mini cannot update

The insructions DO say to plug in to power, and people have tried this yet it is still not working.

I purchased the Soundlink Mini in December 2013, and have also tried to update it with it plugged into AC with the Bose drivers installed. Like others, all three lights blink without the software either not detecting it, or as someone before pointed out, not detecting any new updates. Either way, it works well, but Bose does need something more user friendly to inform buyers that no new update is available. If that's the case...

I had the same problem with my Bose Soundlink Bluetooth Speaker. I was unable to pair a new iPhone after having owned the speaker for two years. I tried to update the firmware, which didn't work. This was explained in an earlier post by GoKce. In short, since no firmware update was needed, the downloaded Bose software didn't recognize the speaker.

The solution I then found came from this Bose troubleshooting link:

http://worldwide.bose.com/productsupport/en_us/web/troubleshooting_soundlink_mob ile_pairing_connecting/page.html

I followed the instructions to "clear the pairing list" on the Bose speaker. After that, I was able to pair two iPhones and my macBook.

There is no Software/Firmware update for the SoundLink Mini.

Having the same problem. The lights just keep blinking and its been 10minutes. I repeated all the steps over again and the same outcome. I think there is no update but my sound link keeps switching off at intervals when I'm playing it off its base. *****.

@mbjammer have you found any solution to the "my sound link keeps switching off at intervals when I'm playing it off its base." That's happening to me too.

Can't get mine to work either. I have the Soundlink III and it pairs with everything flawlessly - except my Macbook Pro. It cuts in and out while playing from iTunes, youtube, etc. I have other portable speakers that paired up with my Mac with zero problems, so I don't know why this speaker isn't. I've followed all the directions like everyone else (power is plugged in), and it never detects anything, lights just continually flash. Am I just out of luck getting this to work with my Mac?? That *****.

This is just irritating.

Edit

has anyone figure out how to get the AUX blinking lights working. I downloaded the driver like the installer said, I have a good USB cable, I press the AUX for 10 seconds and got blinking lights and yes... it's plugged in to AC. The software will simply not recognize it and nothing is happening. I do get the cut in/out music with bluetooth and hope the update fixes this issue. Any thoughts?

I've got this annoying cut in/out while playing music with MBP as well, and it only happens when battery indicates orange.

It works flawlessly when it's fully charged, but when turn it on the next day, it starts the cut in again...

Trying update the firmware without luck, guess there's no update for it😟 yet

I have the same problem but I tried to clear a speaker memory by pressing a bluetooth button for 10 sec. until you hear the sound

And it did work, no cutting off, no self shut down so far but I still fingers crossed for an officially update arrive

i have the same problem. tried all the resets and still the same problem Bose soundlink mini connected with ipad mini turning off during play at normal charge
