pairing JBL Flip to my MacBook Pro

I am trying to pair my JBL Flip with my MacBook Pro and for some reason it is not picking it up. Can anyone give me any input on this?😐

MacBook, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Just tried this earlier today and was able to get it to work.

1. Turn on Flip (short hold of the power button) - the power button should light up blue.

2. On your MBP, select "Set up Bluetooth Device" from the Bluetooth drop down in the menu bar - your MBP should start browsing for devices.

3. Hold down the power button on the Flip until it begins alternating back and forth from blue to red.

4. Your MBP should discover the Flip at this point and automagically pair with it. I didn't need to enter "0000" like I did when pairing it with my iPhone.

5. Under the Bluetooth drop down menu the Flip should be listed under Devices.

6. Go to the Flip in the menu and select "Use as Audio Device"

7. The Flip should chirp and sounds should begin playing via the Flip.

Hope this helps!

at the top menu, under the 'GO' tab, select 'Go to folder'


search for '/Library/Preferences' folder


locate and delete 'com.apple.Bluetooth.plist'



2. go to finder


at the top menu, under the 'GO' tab, select 'Go to folder'


search for '~/Library/Preferences/Byhost'`folder


locate and delete 'com.apple.Bluetooth.******'


(****** this file will end in various numbers and letters, just get rid of it)


3. Restart mac
