MacBook Pro to Samsung sound bar Bluetooth not connecting

Hello all,


I recently purchased a Samsung sound bar with bluetooth connectivity. I can connect my iPhone 5s to it and stream music with no problem. But when I try to connect my MacBook Pro, it simply connects and promptly disconnects. I have tried shut down, restart, and even unplugging the battery on the MacBook with no luck.


I am running OSX 10.9.3 with all available updates.


Has anyone else had this problem?


Thanks,

Jerry

Same here I'm using a Samsung HW-H550 Sound Bar - Connect's with iPhone/iPad on IOS 7.1.1 on my Mac Book Pro Retina OS X 10.9.3. Having no joy even went down the root of deleting the Bluetooth Pref file didn't work either.


Looking forward to any workable solution

I just read this post today as I was trying to pair my older MacBook to my recently purchased Samsung sound bar. It turns out I was overthinking the problem entirely. Enabled the Bluetooth on the MacBook, then switched to BT on the sound bar. About 4 seconds later the Samsung "Air Track" was on the available devices to pair. Paired it quick and done, streaming iTunes just that quick.
