Bluetooth audio lag

Just updated (17th.Oct.2014) to OS X Yosemite. Im having trouble with bluetooth connection. There is an audio lag on my bluetooth headphone which progressively gets worse. Im using Sony DR-BTN 200. Is there a temporary solution until they fix it?


P.S. I found others with similar issues as well. Ive tried re-pairing the connection to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

thanks, this decision took over a month to make and, in the end, after accepting that I had an adequate "picture" of the hard drive (having used Time Machine with my external hd) I decided to wipe the drive and the system. Wasn't easy but it was a question of dealing with problems every day or taking the chance it would work.

i restarted while pressing cmd r: the computer shifts into the recovery utility. i went into the disk utilities and chose Erase.

after that i went to the file menu ad restarted my machine. this is a different step than my first time restoring.

the first time i went to the recovery menu after erasing my disk and reinstalled. this reinstalled Yosemite.


the difference on the 2nd time around was, after erasing the hard drive i restarted the machine. it took me to Internet Recovery and then to a similar Recovery utility as before.. this is where the program set up the original OS that came with the computer.. so mine was Mountain Lion.

after it set up and the system was running i went into the app store and downloaded Mavericks from my previous purchases.


hope that keeps it simple, I'm no computer dude either, but most of my questions and problems I was able to look up with Google and read a lot, and from multiple sources. Good Luck, the only constant during [my only] problematic times with this computer were when Yosemite was present, that was the line in the sand for me. Just make sure you know you have everything you want in terms of personal data. so far tho, no problems with Mavericks and great for the daily grind - having a secure system takes away daily anxiety about what process would kill what next. now I can get back to work. smoke weed.

LOL! Now I see where the patience comes from... 😉


Well, all I have is the Time Machine backups, and I'm not even totally sure that's reliable enough in this case. I don't have another harddrive to rely on, so looks like I'm stuck waiting for Apple to do something about the CPU stuff and everything else, all the other quirks (like Facetime ringing whenever I get a regular phone call on my cell at the same time - oy!)


I will keep this post in mind though if I end up freaking out at some point and decide to do the downgrade. Wish it was easier, for sure, but I'm glad it worked out for you. Thanks for your help

No end of stuttering in conversation between mac air and Bose mini after clean update. My last Apple purchase after my many grumbles and few replies, I fear. For the money, I might as well by a Windows user for the service. To release an update that has errors is one thing, to release a second to repair it, that doesn't, is, for the money we pay, in-excusable. Apple is not going to do well from this.

It's only for developers now. But I couldn't wait for apple seed release and downloaded dev beta from torrent. Bluetooth problem is finally gone! It's so great when everything works fine! So wait for official update with fix or install dev beta on your own risk. It might have other problems. For example lots of people say that Chrome isn't working. I use Safari so it's ok for me.

Hope next time Apple will work better on their updates. I hadn't so much problems with my Apple products in past 5 years like last three months. Don't became Microsoft stay Apple!
