10.5.6 BlueTooth no longer works on MBP.. Works in 10.5.5

After updating my MBP to 10.5.6 my bluetooth PS3 remote no longer works. When I booted off my external drive with 10.5.5 it was working again.
I have tried removing and adding the PS3 remote in the BT pref pane as well as using Remote Buddy.
I ended up archiving and installing 10.5.0 and downloading the Combo updater for 10.5.6, but this did not fix anything. I need to see if I can install 10.5.5 again. I could not install the 10.5.5 updater, so I guess I need to find a 10.5.5 combo updater.
I sent a report to Remote Buddy author.
Is there a specific place I can report the bug directly to Apple?
Any ideas on how to fix this would be great.

Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

Answer is no.
If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
Succes, Lex

IOS7 Bluetooth No Longer Works in 2013 Nissan Altima

I am experiencing issues with my 2013 Nissan Altima 3.5SL and the IOS 7upgrade on my iphone5. I am no longer able to properly sync my phone to the bluetooth in the car. The music doesn't always play with bluetooth connection, voice recognition hardly works to make calls and the feature to read incoming new text messages via car bluetooth no longer works AT ALL! All of these features worked fine with the previous IOS6 version.
I have tried several ways to try to fix this, complete reboot of iphone, delete and re connect the iphone from bluetooth (forget this device); also the 'show notifications' tab under the bluetooth options on the phone is turned on. Nothing has helped.
This is extremely disappointing and would like to use these features of my car again. Has anyone else experienced these issues and/or found a fix?
Apple, please FIX and provide us with an update!

Problems with Bluetooth connections are generally traced back to the vehicle. If you search here in the forum you will find a number of posts with issues connecting with Honda vehicles. Try removing the phone from the vehicle's list of Bluetooth devices. Then try removing the vehicle from the iPhone's list of Bluetooth devices. Then place both devices back in discovery/pairing mode and try to connect them. You may need to take the device to the dealer to check for software updates.
Next, I understand it used to connect, however software updates for the iPhone will load the latest Bluetooth stack into the phone and vehicles do not always get updated as often. You can also check this support document for frequently asked questions and the other for additional troubleshooting instructions.

Bluetooth no longer works for incoming calls after recent update

When I updated my Bluetooth to iOS 6, the Bluetooth no longer works for incoming calls. I press button to answer call, it makes a small cracking noise, and then sends the call to my phone. I can use the Bluetooth for outgoing calls and it works just fine. I was hoping when I updated to iOS 6.0.1 that the problem would be fixed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Bluetooth but that has not helped either. I am frustrated. I have a LG HBM-905 Bluetooth that I loved prior to this problem.

Magically started working today after I synced.

Bluetooth No Longer Working With Headset

I have a Motorola bluetooth headset that I've used with my ibook before without a hitch, but when I screwed up OS X and reinstalled it (note: reinstalled the operating system, but didn't format) it no longer works with the headset. I can connect to it just fine, but if I try to use it for anything such as switch my audio output to the headset, the program will freeze - same applies to using the headset for input. The headset isn't broken as it works fine with my phone, but my ibook won't cooperate and they are paired correctly. Is their someway to reinstall the bluetooth drivers or something to that extent? Thanks

If you have a headset, why use Raise to speak? Kinda defeats the purpose of the headset.
Press and hold the button on your headest to call up Siri.

Bluetooth no longer works with Toyota

After the 2.01 upgrade, the bluetooth connection with my Toyota Sequoia no longer works. It will pair but will not be recognized.

Actually, I'll bet you can get it to link-up, but indeed, since V 2.0.1 mine doesn't automatically link anymore, the key word being "automatically". I discovered that you can manually force it to be recognized in my 2007 Toyota Prius, but you have to re-enter the 4-digit pass code every time you start the engine. Try this: On your iPhone, go to Settings/General/Bluetooth, and un-pair your Toyota device (which the default is "Hands Free". Then, from the Toyota's main phone screen: Settings/Bluetooth/Register. Finally, enter the 4 digit code shown, into the iPhone, which by now should be looking for that code.
Again, this is just a one-time work-around, which unfortunately must be repeated every time, until someone figures out how to restore the automatic linking.

Bluetooth no longer works between iPhone 5 running iOS8 and my 2012 Buick LaCrosse

Since I uploaded the new iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 the Bluetooth connection is no longer working correctly in my 2012 Buick LaCrosse. The phone pairs (illuminating the Bluetooth icon in the car stereo display) however then it doesn't work. I cannot receive calls or can't make calls. The iPhone display shows "Calling" and the number shows, but nothing happens.
I tried the suggestion from ChrisJ4203 below, however it did not work for me.
“Go into the phone and remove the vehicle from the Bluetooth list. Turn Bluetooth off, and do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Then go into the vehicle and remove the iPhone from the list of paired devices. Turn the vehicle off and then back on again. Place the vehicle's system into discovery/pairing mode. Go into Settings on the phone and turn Bluetooth on. The devices should see each other.”
Any other ideas? My iPhone worked fine from Jan 2012 to now in this same car.

We have a 2011 Buick Enclave and the Pairing worked. I did have to hold the phone button, say Bluetooth, Say Delete, Say the specific device to Delete ...The Pair, I think enter the code (which changes each time you Pair) and then Name the New paired Device. To test it, I typically have to turn the vehicle off, leave the vehicle and walk far enough away to make sure the phone is not paired. While away, tune the phone totally off. Turn the phone back on, enter and turn key far enough to have the electrical systems come on, and then push the phone button in the car. Good Luck.

Gingerbread update - Bluetooth no longer working in car

I have seen people complaining about this issue on other forums - lots of phone models and car models are affected. My bluetooth was wworking perfectly for hands-free calling prior to the Gingerbread update. Bluetooth stopped working the day I received my Gingerbread update last week. I've tried everything I can try. Apparently there is no resolution to the issue yet. Verizon tech support could not help - they told me to contact HTC. HTC tech support had no clue. I want to revert back to Froyo, but apparently that's not possible either. I am VERY frustrated. I loved Android, but bluetooth in my car is a very important feature for me. Might be time for an iPhone...
If anyone has any solutions for this issue, please let me know. By the way, I have read in other forums that a factory reset does not work - it keeps the same phone software. It's something that changed in Gingerbread that is causing the problem. I would love to get rid of Gingerbread.

Smitty,
I don't have Gingerbread (yet, and I'm thinking that's a good thing at this point), but I've had the same problem with my DInc before with my 7 week old new car. After an initial successful link-up and upload of my phone book, my phone wouldn't maintain a connection either.
Here's my suggestion for you, because It's my current work around to get my bluetooth connection to work:
1) Unpair your car bluetooth and your phone so you can start from scratch
2) Re-pair your DInc and your car
3) When your phone connects to your car, you'll hopefully get a pop-up dialogue box on your phone asking to link to your phone book. At this point, say no to the phone book link. You *should* hopefully have a good bluetooth connection now, and you'll still have the ability to dial from your phone book. If you don't get the pop-up, well...I'm out of ideas. Sorry.
I don't know what capability that pop-up dialogue box on the phone supports, but it sure screws up my bluetooth connection in my car.

Lenovo T60P BlueTooth No Longer Working

Bluetooth no longer shows up in device manager and when I hit Fn-F5 does not show up in list (used to show up).
I know this computer has bluetooth HW but device manager cannot find it.
I tried installing Enhanced BlueTooth latest SW but it indicates that it cannot find the HW.
Also, Vista does not show any Bluetooth in Control Panel.
I had to wipe the machine and install clean Vista a while back since then I cannot find BlueTooth.
How do I enable the HW? How do I detect if the HW is defective? Where do I get the BlueTooth drivers?

Could someone please respond to this post. I am having a similar problem with my bluetooth after installing the bluetooth software here:

IPhone 4 bluetooth no longer working in my 2010 Hyundai Tucson. Need Help.

Hi. I have a 2010 Hyundai Tucson. In June of this year I bought the iphone 4. I was able to use the bluetooth / pairing in my Tucson with no problems. It was great because I could just push the buttons on my steering wheel to talk on my phone through the car! It worked until two or three weeks ago. Now my Tucson will not "pair" with the phone. My phone identifies that it is "Tucson" it is trying to link up with but won't ever do it. Sometimes the keyboard comes up on my phone so I can type in a 4 digit password (0000) provided by my Tucson, but it disappears before I can get the password typed in and gives me a message saying I took too long, pairing failed. I am typing REALLY fast but it is not fast enough. I have read a few other posts and looks like their might be a problem with the latest update for the iphone 4. What am I supposed to do now? Is their a place I report this to Apple at? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

I am having the absolute exact same problem with my 2010 Hyundai Tucson. After reading some of the other forum posts, it appears that this may be related to an iPhone update. Have you had any luck with a solution? I'm so frustrated. To make matters worse, I was trying to trouble shoot the problem and narrow the issue, so I took my husband's Nokia Lumina phone to see if I could pair it....paired it within seconds. No problem! Ughhhhhh! I need some suggestions.

Car Bluetooth no longer works iOS 8.3

Since the latest software update and Siri now automatically sending "Hey Siri" calls through the handset speaker...I can no longer safely use the internal Bluetooth system. I have to wait for the call to connect, then take my hand off the wheel and look at the iPhone to tap "Car Multi Media" to get the call through my internal car speakers! Dangerous and a lawsuit waiting to happen!!!!

Oh man, thanks for posting this as I was going nuts. Same, when I say, "Hey Siri, Call ...." it say's calling through the iPhone Speaker even though I'm connected to Bluetooth.
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS because I then have to switch over to Mazda (in my case) for Bluetooth.
This is definitely and 8.3 bug as it worked fine in 8.1 (I passed 8.2).
Please fix.

Bluetooth no longer works after Nokia PC Suite Upd...

I am afraid I have a problem. I have a Nokia 6085 and Nokia PC Suite on my computer that worked just great until I updated now the Bluetooth is no longer available so I can't connect to my phone.
Phone - Nokia 6085
Computer - Windows XP SP3 Notebook
Bluetooth Stack - Windows (Version: 5.1.2600, Build: 5512)
PC Suite - Version 7.1.40.1

Greetings to all as this is my first post here.
I faced today the same problem with my N95 and the latest PC Suite update (7.1.40.1.).
After checking that my BT earpiece works OK and also no problems with a USB cable between my laptop and the N95, I suspected immediately the update version.
I downloaded an earlier version from : http://download.cnet.com/Nokia-PC-Suite/3000-10440_4-10598525.html and after installing this PC Suite 7.1.30.9 version, the BT worked again flawlessly as before.
HTH

Bluetooth no longer works since I got a 3G iPhone?

Hello -
I just upgraded iPhones - my old iPhone's Bluetooth worked fine with 1) hands-free set up in my car (which shows my address book on car's GPS Screen); and 2) Plantronics headset.
Now (since buying the new phone) NEITHER Bluetooth device works. That is, my iPhone does not connect. With Car, after trying for a few minutes the iPhone generates a message 'cannot connect to Tooki'. With Headset, it merely stalls showing 'Searching...' with that rotating circular symbol next to it. Right now, for ex., it has been 'Searching' for over 10 minutes.
Has anyone else seen/experienced this? iTunes says my phone is up to date (2.1)
Thank you

I cannot address the car issue, however I have a Plantronics bluetooth headset, and have used it with my old 2G phone and now my new 3G. Before you turn bluetooth on for the phone, but the headset in the discovery mode. Hold the button down until it starts flashing red and blue. Then turn the bluetooth on for the phone. Once that happens, the phone should "discover" the device. It should then prompt you for the passcode for the Plantronices, which is 0000. Once that happens, the devices should pair. Turn the headset off, then turn the bluetooth off on the phone. Turn the phone's bluetooth back on, it should report paired to the Plantronics. Then turn the headset on and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps.

Bluetooth no longer working

My Plantronics M50 was working just fine on my iPhone 4 with up to date software until a couple of months ago. Out of nowhere, it would disconnect and re-connect on its own with the phone in my pocket (normal range in other words). On a few occasions I would lose my music just by putting the phone in my pocket. Power cycling would work but now the plantronics is unable to connect at all. It's not the headset because it works on my daughters cel phone (not an iPhone).
I've checked for updates and power cycled a dozen times. Any advice?

It wasn't the iPhone, it was the Bluetooth that was at fault. I reset its settings and everything started working again.
Thanks for your reply, though.
Cheers,
Ed
