Troubleshooting Bluettoh Speaker Not Playing:


A. Device Name:

Just Because nothing says "JBL", it does not mean any device is not a JBL speaker. So, try all items that are connected. Once paid with your device, you may see a different name.

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Bluetooth
  3. Select: the JBL Speaker
  4. Click: Connect button


B. Confirm the Connection:

To Find Out:

  1. Go to: Apple menu
  2. Select: About this Mac
  3. Click: System Report... button
  4. View: Hardware on left-column
  5. Click: Bluetooth
  6. Confirm if a Speaker is Even Seen
