First off, I was talking about making the bar discoverable not the IPod or the mac. Secondly, ok, yes, this does give a bit more info. It sounds like what's going on is you can only have X amount of devices pared to the bar at one time. This being said, on the bar remote, try hitting the pare button, then go see if it'll let you connect it to the mac.

Then I got my iPhone, and that connected ok too, without me having to unpair it as it were, from the Pod. Given how those two devices connected, I'd have thought I could just come along and do the same with my Mac, but it seems not. I can understand why say devices like the Mac have a make discoverable as an option, There might be times when you wouldn't want it found by a nearby snooper,but not a sound bar. , there's actually a pairing button on the sound bar's remote, and I always have to press that each tine I want the pod or phone to connect. Incidentally, there doesn't appear to be a make discoverable option for the pod or the phone, they just have a turn Bluetooth off/on option - Andy On 20 Nov 2013, at 20:43, "Christopher-Mark Gilland" <[email protected]> wrote: > There has to be a way.
