10.4.6 Update: Bluetooth is gone

Hi guys.
Yesterday I updated my PB to 10.4.6 but now my bluetooth is gone (Not available). Restarts didn't work to fix it.
Suggestions?
Many thanks in advance.

Same problem. On G5 iMac (dc iMac OK), fter 10.4.6 bluetooth gone. "No info available" in system profiler. Network control panel shows BT greyed out. Menu bar BT item shows BT not available. Do not use any BT devices, but used to work with a BT mouse. Did not notice it was gone until I went to try connecting my iMacs via BT internet sharing instead of the FW connection I am now using. Reason is that I have WinXP native on the dc and it does not do FW TCP as well as the mac.
Anyway, tried the power off and disconnect all USB & FW and PRAM reset process described in other posts without luck. Anyone figured this out yet? My G5 iMac is the no light sensor unit.

I've got a fix, even for those who don't have hotspot (like me) who want to get the ipad and iphone talking over bluetooth again.
First, I should say that I said when I got my 4s, the problem was solved. It was not. I was just connecting via wifi, but I wanted bluetooth back.
Here is how I got it back without hotspot.
1. Launch keynote on one device and the remote on the other as you normall would.
2. Find another app that bluetooth links ipad and iphone (I used 'pictransfer light'). Install on both devices and launch on both devices. Follow the promt to get a bluetooth sync.
3. Double push the home button both devices to pull up the multi-tasking and open keynote and keynote remote on the relevant devices.
4. In keynote, go to settings; advances; remote. You should now be able to get the remote to link (you may, on the device running the remote, need to hit settings and then 'new keynote link'.
Once I launched pictransfer, the bluetooth logo was blue on both devices the whole time I ran through the other steps. I suspect that that was also the point of using the hotspot service.
Also noteworthy: I am yet to try this 'in the field'. For all I know, this won't keep a connection for as long as one might need. I'll find out on Thursday when I rely on the remote for 90min. On the positive side, I was able to keep the connection even when I double clicked home and closed pictransfer while leaving keynote and keynote remote open...
This work-around worked -- I found that as long as I launched the "Pictransfer for iPad Lite" app just before the presentation that it seemed to work fine. However, if Bluetooth gets turned off or you disconnect I think you will have to repeat the work-around -- nice find.
Apple really needs to fix this. They even have a posted document describing how to link two devices by Bluetooth and the truth is that it just does not work as they say. They need to add whatever code into the Keynote & Keynote Remote apps to initiate bluetooth to connect the devices. It's fine if it prefers WiFi, but it should give you the bluetooth option as well.

Update Bluetooth 2.0

I can't update my Bluetooth Firmware to 2.0 with Software Update.
It says: "There was a problem updating Bluetooth so that the update cannot continue. Turn off any unnecessary Bluetooth devices you are using and try updating again."
Also, I am new on a Mac. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks

I started Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0 about 14 hours ago and the progress bar shows no progress. I have received no errors so far, but there is no progress.
- Bluetooth shows on the menu bar as being turned off
- No Bluetooth devices are configured for this machine
- "Discoverable" is turned off
- No Bluetooth device has ever been paired with this Mac
- Sleep mode is disabled to let the firmware update run
- No applications have been running for about 10 of the 14 hours
- Time Machine has run from time to time, but it doesn't seem like that would matter
When I try to quit Bluetooth Firmware Update, I get a message saying "You cannot quit while the update is in progress."
When I try to restart the Mac, I get a message saying "The application Bluetooth Update canceled restart."
I'm afraid to do anything more drastic to restart the Mac, as I don't want ruin things in the middle of a firmware update. However, it doesn't look like the update has even started, judging from the status bar.
Any suggestions?

After 10.6.3 update: Bluetooth won't turn on

After installing the incremental update, Bluetooth will not reactivate after sleep. The Bluetooth icon is in the menu bar, but Bluetooth is 'off' and wasn't before sleep. If I try to turn it on, it won't come on. Works fine if I do a full restart.

Since the latest updates I have exactly the same.
Bluetooth Mighty mouse works fine. Logout and put the iMac to sleep.
Pressing the mouse doesn't do anything at all.
To wake the mouse I have to press the keyboard at which point the screen displays an outline of the mouse with connection lost.
20 - 30 seconds later connectivity is fine and I can log in again.
Very frustrating.
I booted from a 10.5.x on an external disk and the wake from sleep functionality works fine.

Update bluetooth on driod 2

How do you update bluetooth on a driod2 phone.

Hello bclautz! I'm very eager to help you with your device's Bluetooth capability. In order to do that, I'll need some information. When you say that you're looking to update Bluetooth, what does that mean? Are you attempting to add a Bluetooth connection profile?

Sony Update Centre app gone in Lollipop? Star in notification bar?

Two questions I have about the new Lollipop update, where has the Update Centre app gone, its the one for updating the Sony apps like Walkman, Album and Movies etc... My second question is what is the little star for in the notifications bar?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, they are shown as updates to the preinstalled versions so Google Play should give you a notification or update them automatically depending on your setting in Google Play for automatic updates.
But if you would like to check manually they are available here:

Updating Bluetooth on 8120

I have recently updated a software on a Garmin satnav that I use to pair with my 8120 for hands free phone usage while driving. Prior to update reception was excellent. Post update it is dreadful. The satnav is now Bluetooth vs 2.1 while my 8120 remains on vs 2.0. Is there a way to update Bluetooth on my 8120 to vs 2.1. They are meant to be 'backwards compatible - my experience indicates otherwise. Any help grateful appreciated.

Hello,

The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix?

The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix? Updated everything and synced. App Sore icon shows there are updates.

Until Apple resolves this problem, when you are in the App Store, if you have updates, try going to your "Purchased" Apps and you can update from there. Apps with updates will show "Update" next to them, just tap on "Update" and the update will be installed.

10.5.7 update: Bluetooth gone, disks won't mount

Installation of the 10.5.7 update sort of worked. My system says it installed, but I did get a message saying something like "Update was not completely succesful".
The one reason for updating was that I hoped to be able to use my wireless mouse again, which on 10.5.6 would disconnect seconds after I connected it.
Now, Bluetooth isn't even able to connect to the mouse.
So I tried to do a Combo update reinstall of 10.5.7, but then I got the message "Mounting failed". I tried a random piece of different software and got the same message.
When I double click the .dmg file, I get the message "Device not configured".
Any solutions?

Thanks for replying. It's Apple's infamous Mighty Mouse.
Just ran Disk Utility > Repair permissions to see if that would solve anything, but no luck.
It did give warnings that the following permissions could not be repaired:
- System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpload
- usr/bin/setregion
- System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Versions/A/Resources/runner
- System/Library/Printers/IOMs/LPRIOM.plugin/Contents/MacOS/LPRIOMHelper
It's the first time ever that an OS X update has given me headaches.

My Bluetooth is GONE after update to 10.8.5

I just did the latest update, to 10.8.5 I beleive (at least that's what my About This Mac says) and when my system rebooted, I no longer have Bluetooth--which means I can't use my Apple Magic Trackpad. The icon on the taskbar is grayed out, and this is the error I get:
It was working fine before I updated. Any suggestions? Luckily I did a full backup before the update, but I'd rather not restore my system if I don't have to.
Thanks in advance,

Bluetooth preferences GONE?!

My bluetooth icon is gone from system preferences. My mouse lights up but does not connect. My phone is unable to connect. What could possibly be wrong? I've restarted and shutdown, no luck. Thanks in advance

The Apple Bluetooth Software 1.5.0 is outdated. I highly recommend, to apply the Mac OS X v10.3.9 combined updater and all security updates again.
Using a headset needs several steps even needed if you have the latest computer or Mac OS X release. Please make sure to follow them in order.
Download the Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater
Install it
Remove as much USB devices from your computer as possible
Launch it from Applications > Utilities > Bluetooth Updater
Apply it to your adapter (takes very long and disconnects your Bluetooth mouse).
Start the Apple Bluetooth Assistant and select Headset. Do not use anything else!
Make your headset Bluetooth visible. Look up the manual of your headset how to do that.
Now select the headset in System Preferences > Sound.
In most cases step 3 is missed. You have to start the already installed updater yourself (do not ask me why). Step 4 fails if you do not have an internal Apple Bluetooth module and your Bluetooth USB adapter is not supported by Apple. In this case, you have to go for a D-Link DBT-120 USB adapter.

After Update Bluetooth is not available - any ideas?

Hi
After running the update I lost all my menu icons as did a few others by the sounds of it. Fortunately I was able to re-enable them all manually.
I forgot about bluetooth though as I wasn't using it at the time. I've since re-started my powerbook, and the bluetooth icon is back, but marked unavailable. The preference pane is missing from System Prefs, and if I try and run it directly it just opens System Prefs so clearly it is missing.
If I try and run Bluetooth File Exchange I get an error message saying "No Bluetooth Hardware Found" - but there is because I use it quite often!
Any ideas about where the pref pane has gone or how to get it to work again much appreciated.

Powerbook G4 12 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hmm. Not sure if this is progress or not.
My laptop has crashed again - the second time since the update - forcing me to restart it.
Bluetooth is back, as is it's preference pane, I'm just concerned that it has crashed twice in 6 hours.

Bluetooth functionality gone!

Need help here gurus. After software updates from v4.20 to v5.43 for my 6125,i can't seem to find bluetooth settings under the connectivity menu or else where in my phone.In other words, the bluetooth functionality is gone! Is there anyway that i can install or add the bluetooth functionality back like maybe internet downloads for that particular settings only? Greatly appreciate your feedback and thanks in advance.

you can only update the whole firmware to your phone, where did you get yours done, you should go back to the service point and ask them to fix it
