[QUOTE="DonnaMarilyn, post: 1616653, member: 166085"] I hope someone here can advise. I wanted a set of wireless headphones so that I could watch movies on my TV screen with no possible danger of disturbing the neighbours. Yesterday I bought the JBL Reflect BT set of earbuds. [url]http://www.jbl.com/estore/jbl/us/pro...FLECTBT_JBL_US[/url] After some frustration due to the lack of information in the instructions (even two workers at the local Apple store took a while to figure out how to set up the connection correctly), I was able today to sync the device to my iPad Air, MacBookPro, and iPhone. The buds work well. However, no luck with the Apple TV. In the Bluetooth section of the menu, the 'searching' circle just kept spinning, and I got the message that I need to use a bluetooth keyboard to control my Apple TV. I'm presuming that means I need a bluetooth keyboard for my iMac, as that's where my movies are being streamed from. OK. Easy enough to buy a new keyboard (e.g. the Logitech K11). Unfortunately, the expensive (ca. €120) and highly effective ergonomic mouse I bought recently (due to carpal tunnel symptoms) is wireless (not BT). I'm wondering whether there's any kind of workaround whereby I can either pair the mouse with a bluetooth keyboard somehow (an online search was fruitless), or whether there's a way to sync the bluetooth earbuds with Apple TV without using a bluetooth keyboard. I hope the question has made sense. Any advice will be gratefully received. :) Donna [/QUOTE]
