How can I connect my new LG Sound Bar NB 3531A with my MacBook Pro Mid 2010 via Bluetooth

Hey,

bought a new sound bar and want to connect it to my MacBook Pro. When start pairing an error shows up telling me to check the Bluetooth range and so on. When I try to connect without a code (0000) there is a connection but it´s not possible to use the bar as a stereo headset in the bluetooth menue.

The Sound Bar should be ready to play because I can use it with my iPhone and on Win-notebooks.B

There are no system-updates availabe and I´m using OSX 10.8.4. Can someone help?

Best wishes from Germany

I suggest you contact the sound bar manufacturer for recommendations.

It seems that my bluetooth driver crashed or anything. Tried it with an other MacBook and worked fine. Called the Apple- and LG-Support.

The Apple-Supporter told my to reinstall my OS X. Crashed. I´ll start a complete new installation today.

I have an MBP Retina late 2013 running El Capitan and I just connected to an LG sound bar model LAS550H via bluetooth with no problem, AFTER I went to Bluetooth preferences on my MBP and removed all other connected bluetooth devices. I then switched on the LG sound bar and paired by selecting pair in MBP bluetooth, and it worked. No codes or similar were required.

I found out about removing all other connected bluetooth devices from the instructions for a Bose bluetooth speaker.

I hope that this helps.

you have to go on systemsettings then on sound then if the sound bar is connected you can switch on it
