A:Answer Ah, one needs to turn OFF the bluetooth on a device in range, so the ear buds will search for a new connection. Then, after almost a minute, they finally showed up on my laptop. So, maybe it's just my ignorance of technology, but is there a way (I assume app based higher end buds) would allow me to keep bluetooth on, on each device and select which to receive the audio. That is what I need, because If I turn off bluetooth to connect to the computer to connect to the iPhone, I loose other BT items I need on the laptop. So, there must be something I am missing -maybe more money? lol.:)
