Can't get Bluetooth to work

I can't seem to get bluetooth to work from the Desktop software.
I can pair my laptop and my Storm and transfer my contact to the PC outside of the desktop software but when I go into the desktop software and select configure bluetooth it doesn't see my Storm device.
Any ideas?
Best Regards,
Brian

on your PC, you need to uninstall the Bluetooth stack from the third party, and have the drivers from Microsoft installed.
Otherwise no Bluetooth in the Desktop Manager.

    Windows Server 2008 is not supported by Boot Camp, no drivers.

  • Late 2013 MBP/Fusion/Boot Camp partition w/Windows XP (!), can I get Bluetooth working or should I give up?

    Hello and please bear with the length of this post.  I had an old MacBook Pro (2007 Santa Rosa) that ran Windows XP in a Boot Camp partition just fine.  One thing Windows has that the Mac doesn't is a free OBD2 app that lets me communicate with a Bluetooth OBD2 scanner to reset my check engine light and read the codes.  This scanner uses Bluetooth.
    A few months ago by a stroke of good luck I got a new Retina MacBook Pro.  Windows XP will not install on it, only Win 7 & 8 (I don't have the install disks anymore anyway).  I did not want to buy a new Windows just to run this one program (the only Windows app I really need).  I thought I could possibly run my old Win XP Boot Camp partition (now in an external USB3 case) under Fusion, and it turns out that I can indeed do this.  However I can not get Bluetooth to work – Win XP, under Fusion, does not see any Bluetooth hardware.  I got some help on the Fusion forum – I was told to uncheck the Share Bluetooth devices with the virtual machine box and check the Apple Bluetooth USB Host Controller box to connect Bluetooth to the virtual machine.  WIn XP, under Fusion, does not seem to see any Bluetooth hardware.
    My question is, do the Boot Camp drivers originally installed when I first used Win XP on my old Santa Rosa MBP have any role here?  I was thinking I might have to update those drivers since I'm on a new Retina MBP, but the update notes specifically say the newer drivers are for Windows 7 and 8.  I haven't tried to install them yet – maybe they'll even refuse to install, I don't know.
    If I'm truly wasting my time trying to get this to work I'll fork over the $40 for the Mac OBD2 software, although I really only need it for a "single use" (trying to pass a state inspection, lol!).  TIA for any help!

    Please ignore the last message - I was hoping I could delete the thread but it looks like I can't.
    After a little more investigation I've decided to give up this quest and pay the $40 for the Mac software.

  • [SOLVED] Cannot get Bluetooth to work.

    Hallo,
    Well. I can't get bluetooth to work. I have 3 different Bluetooth Dongles to test. lsusb lists them like this:
    Bus 001 Device 027: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
    Bus 001 Device 026: ID 057c:3800 AVM GmbH BlueFRITZ! Bluetooth Stick
    Bus 002 Device 014: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
    2 Obviously have the same chip. On my fathers Fedora box all these dongles work. So I started the bluetooth daemon. I connected all 3 sticks and this is what my messages.log tells me:

    They are not recognized. hcid should detect them according to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth
    After searching the forums the solution for others was to turn on dbus. But my dbus is on.
    lsmod | grep blue:
    bluetooth 56484 8 hidp,hci_vhci,hci_uart,bpa10x,bfusb,rfcomm,l2cap,hci_usb
    hcitool lists no available devices. What am I missing? Someone has an idea?

    I have a Yamaha RX-V673 which is Airplay enabled, but i can't get Airplay to work either on my Mac book or my iphone. The receiver is connected to my network and i can control it using the iphone App and via the web browser option.
    Do I need Apple TV or to change some settings somewhere?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    You are making some progress with setup of wireless network. Apparently there is reliability problem with the wireless connection. Perhaps you want to refer to following Apple support documents and start tweaking parameters in the router to improve the reliability. I used to have third-party routers such as Belkin and Netgear but switched to Apple Airport routers (Time Capsule then Airport Extreme for now) because of incompatibility issues whenever Apple upgrade Mac OS X. But since Apple develops Airplay protocol as alternative to Bluetooth for wireless audio/video streaming (with much better bandwidth) and must be deployed in any wireless network, there is no reason third-party routers not working for Airplay protocol.

  • Still can't get airplay to work!!!!!

    Grrrrrrrrr. Still can't get airplay to work with either my iPad or my iPhone to my atv2. Everything has the latest firmware, including my airport extreme. Airplay is turned on in options on the atv2.
    Everything is on the same network. I even switched networks but still nothing.
    I do not see the blue icon that let's me stream to the tv.
    What the heck am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    Your profile indicates you are running v10.5.7. If that's the case, you need to update your system software to v10.5.8 which is the minimum requirement for the iPad.
    Click the Apple () menu then click: Software Update...
    And make sure Bluetooth is not enabled on either the iPad or the iPhone. Tapping Settings / General / Bluetooth.

  • Have entrourage and want to use Mail. Can't get it to work.

    I had a macbook and purchased the Microsoft office for Mac which included Entrourage.
    I have now purchased a new macbook Pro and want to begin to use Mail rather than Entrourage. 
    I have Entrourage on my new computer but i can't get it to transfer my information to the the Mail program
    I am on Charter.net at my office and sbcglobal.net at home.
    How can i get this to work.  I can receive on Mail, but i can't send.

    check your outgoing port settings and make sure it's using a specific port and not the default port, also you might want to check to see if it is using SSL, TLS or any other encryption.  Verify the setting from your old machine setup.

    If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

    Hi,
    Is there an iPhone involved ?
    If not, what happens  if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
    What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
    Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

  • I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

    I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.

    Hello,
    You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
    If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
    Best of luck

    I have a go daddy email account and I can't get it to work on my iPad

    Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
    If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad.
