Still suffering with dropping, unresponsive bluetooth on MBP Retina. When will this be fixed?

I am still having this problem with my MBP Retina display. I am currently typing on the keyboard on the machine because it just lost the bluetooth connection, yet again. After the message flashes up saying "connection lost" for my keyboard the bluetooth settings on my system preferences are not responsive. It drops the connection very regularly, usually at the end of the day but it's something that goes wrong with the bluetooth on the macbook because I get the same <<do not localize...Name not available>> message that others have mentioned.
What has NOT fixed this issue:
I have reset NVRAM/PRAM
I have reset the SMC
I have the latest OSX v. 10.9.2
I have new batteries in two different apple wireless keyboards that have both suffered the same issue
I have switched off wifi and run from ethernet, but bluetooth still fails, it still happens.
I have searched the discussions and found many people reporting the same problem going back many months now but nobody posting a solution that works. When is this going to get sorted out?

This is still happening to me on a daily basis. I'm unable to connect to, or switch off bluetooth on my MBPRetina from Spring 2013. I get the message <<do not localize...name not available>> on my bluetooth preferences. I'm now going to restart my computer so I can connect to the wireless keybaoard. Is there nothing that can be done about this glitch?

IOS 5.1 - Photo Quality STILL broken! When will this be FIXED?

The update to iOS 5 broke something with ISO capability of the iPhone 4 camera. Flash pictures are fine, with proper ISO (check here if you don't know what ISO is http://www.photoxels.com/tutorial_iso.html
Low light and non-flash pictures have the wrong ISO since iOS 5 and have LOTS of grain and noise. This has rendered the camera in the iPhone 4 useless since the update from iOS 4. With iOS 4, my pictures had brilliant quality. This was a BIG reason why I purchased this phone in the first place. If you haven't noticed the difference, users who have had the phone since before the update can look at the difference in their pictures since. Massive difference.
Many have suggest that restoring the device from new (after a backup) can fix this. It doesn't work. At least, not for the iPhone 4. Don't bother. I check regularly for an iOS update, and after seeing one today for iOS 5.1, I was really hoping this issue would be addressed. It wasn't.
I can't imagine this hasn't been noticed by Apple, but the lack of updates and some sort of status to their customers is incredibly irritating. When will this be fixed?
Robert Heaney

if you have nothing useful to add, why bother? I'm trying to find a solution to a problem that I KNOW many, many other people are experiencing...
I don't really care much if Apple reads this, I'm just trying to find a solution. Geez.
If you genuinely were just looking for other users help to fix a problem, and weren't expecting Apple to read or respond you wouldn't have titleled this thread as you did. You wouldn't have said: "I can't imagine this hasn't been noticed by Apple, but the lack of updates and some sort of status to their customers is incredibly irritating. When will this be fixed?" It is YOU who are trolling by deliberately posting inflamatory and misleading statements.
The probolem is clearly in YOUR DEVICE. Maybe there is a a hardware issue. However, the other 99.999+% don't have the issue - and we're not bilind, oblivious idiots either.

What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed?

When running Second Life or Worlds of Warcraft or just quick browing... anything graphically intensive on the MacBook Pro, the machine slows to a crawl, eventually completely freezes up. The cursor doesn't move, pressing the Caps Lock key does not change the Caps Lock light and the machine is no longer reachable from any other machine on the network. The only means available to recover is to hold the power button down until the Mac powers off and then restart it. This doesn't happen when running XP through boot camp and windows client versions of these programs. What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed? Thanks.

I am not sure that this relevant to the discussion. But I am searching for anyone else who is seeing random freezes on 10.4. I usually don't see anything in the log after I have to do a hard reboot of the box. However, I have noticed some I/O messages when I have been able to console into an affected device, but have not captured to this point. Also, when I am able to console, the box will accept the login, but times out when trying to authenticate the password.
I am also seeing a server freeze on my G4s. I am able to reproduce the problem with a clean install from the 10.4 disk. The issue is reproducible with tcpdump, dumpcap as well as tshark. I have also tried compiling the tools with different versions of libpcap. I am able to reproduce this problem every time with a packet generator sending small packets.
It seems that the small packets aggravate the underlying cause. As the more small packets are sent the quicker I am able to reproduce the problem. With a mix of packet sizes, as seen in most networks, this issue is hard to reproduce. We have been using the G4 since 2003 as a packet analysis tool and it has been very stable up until we attempted to do analysis of a VOIP network with 10.4. The small RTP packets in conjunction with 10.4 seem to be the culprit.
So far I am not able to reproduce the freeze on a 10.2 or 10.3 image. This is not isolated to bad hardware, as I have been able to reproduce on 4 different Xserves in my labs with similar configurations.
I currently have a G4 set up in my lab and would be able to supply any info that may be needed to track down this issue. I have been thrust into administration on this box recently so I am not very familiar with debugging procedures on the Xserve or MacOS. However, I have the hardware and the test equipment that many in a production setting may not have at their disposal. So if anyone, with extensive knowledge of the Xserve or MacOS, is willing to work with me to track down this issue I am willing to do the leg work in the lab. I would appreciate any assistance that is available.

Alien Skin Eye Candy 7 incompatible with Fireworks - when will this be fixed?

Alien Skin Eye Candy 6 worked fine with my Fireworks CS4. Then Alien Skin updated me to Eye Candy 7. While Eye Candy pops up and looks beautiful, even showcasing the effects within the screen, once I hit "OK", it crashes. I already complained to Alien Skin but they say it is an Adobe issues. I uninstalled Eye Candy and reinstalled it as 32-bit only in the 32-bit version of Photoshop CS4, and again it works fine in Photoshop and looks great in Fireworks, once I hit "OK" it crashes again. My boss is now pissed because basically the effects are not usable except in Photoshop, and we use primarily Fireworks. What will be done about this? The Alien Skin site says this: "I completely understand your disappointment with the lack of Fireworks support. Due to the multiple changes made by Adobe, it has become prohibitively difficult to maintain Fireworks compatibility. For this reason we had to drop support for this program." There are many people complaining about this but what is the solution? I cannot randomly start using Photoshop esp when most of my files are in PNG format, and right now it is just wasted money and extremely frustrating.

When I responded to your initial forum post on the Adobe forums, I was not 100% accurate. Eye Candy 7 does support the 32-bit Carbon API. Fireworks and Elements are both Carbon apps. However plug-in support for Fireworks is not near as good as the plug-in support for Elements. The plug-in API in Fireworks needs to be updated and improved before Fireworks will work with Eye Candy 7.
I completely understand your frustration, and if you would like a refund, I would be more than happy to process it for you. Just email me at [email protected] There, I can process your request. Again, I apologize for the trouble, and wish there was more we could do to resolve this issue for you.
In regards to Eye Candy 6, If you submit a support ticket as mentioned above, and I will do everything I can to get you up and running in Fireworks with Eye Candy 6.
Question: Are you running Windows or Mac?

This is the second time I have been unable to open Firefox after an update. On both occassions nothing is displayed (no splash screen, nor errors). A firefox.exe task is then shown in Task Manager.

Before I update, Firefox latest version must be compatible with Nuance PDF Converter Professional 7.0 When will this happen?

When Firefox prompts me to upgrade to the latest version, it shows PDF Converter plug-in as not being compatible. This is not acceptable, and therefore I have not upgraded.

If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.

Disapointed with upgrade cant use google toolbar when will this be fixed??

I upgraded to the newest firefox after being asked a gazillion times
Now i cant use google toolbar, when will this be resolved?

Google needs to update the Google Toolbar program for Firefox 5.0.
The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version does work in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension, I tried it myself due to the large number of postings about GTB problems. <br />

Try resetting the iPad. Hold down the home and power/sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds or until the Apple Logo shows up. Let the iPad reboot and then try to pair again. Not data should be lost.

What is up with the I pad pre loaded Calender? Am told it is faulty, which is why I can't see the month of March. When will this be sorted. It is a nuisance

What is up with the preloaded Calendar on my I pad? I can't see the month of March! Am told that there is a fault, but when will it be fixed?

I have to assume that Apple is aware of it and its working on it. Hopefully, it will be fixed in a new update. But nobody here knows when that will be.
A workaround is to remove any all day events from April 1st or change them to a few hours - but remove all day events.

Using 7921 with AP541N connected to C881SRST-K9 (CUCM BE) - Will this work?

Hi Gang,
I know the AP541N can support the 7921 phone but all the documentation I've read assumes the AP541N is registering the phone with a UC500 system. I was curious if there would be any problems using this AP with a 7921 at a remote site (881SRST gateway used). It would be tieing into a CUCM BE system at the central office.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Mike

eric,
so it's recovery volume it should still give me the following:
1: correct version for late model 2013 15" rMBP
2: a clean install
am I incorrect?
I take your post as meaning the hidden 650mb partition I speak of is my recovery volume.
Am I going about this wrong as I read of many using USB thumb drives for late 2013 models but those posts were also from Nov and Dec when it was still 10.9.0..... I recieved this 15" rMBP on 12-24-2014
i am currently on 10.9.2
OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
trying to clean install and still have 2 things i read of many losing one is the hidden partition and another which may or may not be part of it but also the "Find My MAC" option via icloud. these things i read on these forums searching clean install.
Thank you
also I was using this info: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14243
