Thank you Marion555....you fixed my problem.

I should not have paired the first speaker to my iphone by itself. When I (1)deleted that bluetooth connection (on the phone), (2)paired the two speakers to each other, and then (3)bluetoothed the SET to the phone, it worked.

Now I'm not so sure the speaker quality is what I wanted.....but your solution worked!!!

My wife had a similar problem with her iPod nano and I thought the nano was the problem. I checked to see if the speaker was able to pair with my iMac computer and found it was not able to locate the speaker in order to pair on my desktop iMac. I shut off the speaker and waited a few minutes, turned back on and saw a quick flashing blue light which means it is in pairing mode and looking for devices to connect with. It popped up on my iMac, but I did not want to pair to that device. I tried the iPod nano again and could tell it was attempting to pair up and then after a few minutes it said it was connected.

I guess shut the speaker off and for a few minutes and turn it back on and see if that helps you.

Worked just like you said the first time I tried it! I guess once it's paired to a device it has be be unpaired to pair with another device. I held down the big button on the bottom and the play/pause button for 5 seconds and it erased the original pairing to my iPhone. Then I turned on the Bluetooth on my iPad and it worked! It paired. 🙂

I just bought the Jam because my friend at work let he hold his so I could watch my netflix on my Iphone 5S hands free.

The sound was awesome. Of course I couldn't pair the one I bought so I came here where I would find helpful suggestions.

I charged jam for 3 hours and turned off both the Iphone and Jam. Turned on Jam first and it made a sound (promising sound

to say the least). Then I turned on Iphone and it discovered the Jam...now I'm jamming 🙂

I had a similar problem, my Jam Classic would only sync to my desktop after a few weeks.


  1. I pressed pause and play and held both for a few seconds. Until the the blue light went out
  2. then turned the Jam off then on
  3. after a few seconds I got a number key pad pop-up on my 4th Gen. Itouch .....but I entered the wrong number.
  4. repeated the above and they paired without any fuss.

Thanks to other replies I remembered the need to press pause+play.

Thanks everyone!
