Instead, click on the small “+” button on the lower left. This is where it’s confusing the first time you use it because I always expect either for the Bluetooth device to magically show up or a button labeled “Add new Bluetooth Device”. Look for the Bluetooth icon, as highlighted below:Ĭlick on Bluetooth and you’ll see a list of previously paired Bluetooth devices - if any - along with a few minimally labelled control buttons: Once launched, you’ll see a lot of icons representing different areas of your system. Start by launching your “System Preferences…” from the Apple menu: There are two steps required too: first you have to “pair” the bluetooth speaker with your computer, then once that’s done you can select the new device as an audio output device and use it. On the Mac you can have a Bluetooth icon on your menu bar, but it’s not enabled by default so you’re still going to have to delve a bit into the system preferences to turn things on and get them running. Getting Bluetooth up and running on any computer can be a bit tricky because it’s not a commonly used service, so it tends to be tucked away in the dusty corners of the operating system. It’ll also work with PCs that support Bluetooth, of course: it’s platform agnostic. It’s nice, portable, sounds good for the size and works as an audio device for any Bluetooth compatible source, including iPhones and, yes, MacBooks and MacBook Pro computers. I know the wireless speaker you’re talking about, actually, as we have one too, the Logitech Z515 wireless speaker (they need cooler names for their products, I think!).
