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
I had the same problem with my macbook pro, as many others users too, it seems.
For me the firmware Update at Samsung support site just worked out fine, now the soundbar stays connected!
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.
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
same problem here... Can't believe the macbook pro can't connect to a sound bar!
did u find any solution ??
Posting the same comment on all the old threads is not at all helpful. Candidly, there is little interest in what you believe.
I've just registered to thank you. Your suggestion helped me. I've never thought before that the problem might be on the soundbar side.
