Apple will not install Internal Bluetooth Module, now what?

ibook was purchased without BT installed, so i purchased the appropriate module from the ebay (item # 922-5764) thinking that i had the type of airport card that could be paired up with BT... WRONG!
so anyways i look into the matter further and discover that in addition to having to take apart my iBook to install the part, i would need to purchase two more parts- antenna (922-6256) and cable (922-6188), which by the way would end up costing me more than the module itself!
Ok, no problem, i'm determined that i can do this install. I taught myself how to install PCI cards back in the day, and later how to upgrade ram, processor, even a logic board on various desktops. But WOW does taking apart an ibook look like way too much work.
So i call Apple to find out how much they would charge to install this for me, but it turns out that even though this was originally an optional install, they WILL NOT install it after the fact.
I already have a BT Dongle, but I really really want to have it internal. what are my options at this point? any ideas??

...I already have a BT Dongle, but I really really want to have it internal. what are my options at this point?
The options seem pretty clear:
Use the BT dongle.
Disassemble and install the part yourself.
Find someone who will disassemble your iBook and install the part.

Apple pages will not install on my iPhone 5, what do I do?

I downloaded apple pages because I really did enjoy keynote greatly, however it got delete by mistake. Now when I go to re-download it I continuously get the message "you've already purchased this, so it will download now at no additional charge"...but not install... I don't know how to fix this. It's never happened to me before.

No it issn't an iphone issue.
The issue is with yahoo and their server.
You can do a search in the forum "yahoo mail" and see how many threads there are about not being able to connect to Yahoo server and the answer is the same it's Yahoo problem not Apple or iphone.

HT5192 My update will not install,how can i troubleshoot what is wrong?

I want to install the newest version but it just says that it cannot install it. I do not know how to troubleshoot what could be possible wrong.

Try downloading any free app to resync your iTunes account.

Can't download movie-says "file corrupted"-will not let me delete download-now what?

I ordered a movie some months ago and downloaded both the HD and standard versions. A duplicate of both downloads appeared in the Download portion of my account. I tried several ways to delete these but was unable so I then tried to proceed with the duplicate downloads (just to get them off the que). I was finally able to download the standard version of the movie but when I tried to download the HD version it got almost all the way through (after 3 hours of Pause/Resume) then quit because the file was corrupted! How can I resolve this problem? I don't want this duplicate version anyway. After searching through every source of info I could I am no closer to a solution. I am operating on a Windows laptop and have current iTunes version. I unfortunately will need very basic instructions as I am in no way computer savvy. Any ideas would be very appreciated! Thanks.

I was receiving the same error message yesterday, which said There was a problem downloading "The Song Name / Album / Artist". The file seems to be corrupted. To redownload the file, choose "Check for Available Downloads" from the Store menu. The file tries to download five times before this error message appears.
I too, tried to find the file and delete it, but it was no where to be found.
So I gave up for that moment and tried again today and I was able to successfully download the file. Amazing how that works!!!

Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

HT201375 Has anyone found a solution to the "Mavericks will not install new fonts" Issue? Has apple even admitted it yet?

Question is simple enough, Oh and by the way, my system is NOT what this forum page has decided to tell me that it is (no way evident to change it).

Hi Arthur,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
1. I am glad your Mavericks doesn't have the problem. I am sure there are a lot of Mavericks out there that don't have the problem, and yes, you are correct, I, along with ALL of the other people that are complaing of this problem all over the internet, including this support forum itself, are having problems with our own Mavericks installations.
2. Agreed, Apple doesn't have a good track record of admitting to the bugs in its Operationg Systems, but don't worry, Microsoft is just as bad. Technology is about making money after all.
3. Thanks for the instructions for updating my profile.
4. I took the precaution of removing all of my data from this machine. and wiped its harddrive.
I did a fresh install of Snow Leopard (the OS it came with), upgraded to Mountain Lion, and then upgraded to Mavericks before doing anything at all to the machine, and before installing anything on it.
So with this Fresh, brand new install of Mavericks (I dont trust upgrades - for good reason) I installed Open Office, Adobe Creative Suit CS6, Google Chrome, Filezilla, Firefox and Thunderbird, and Microsoft Remote Desktop client.
That's it.
The font that will not install is any of the fonts from the Univers family.
We have had this font in our office for the seven years I have worked there. It installs fine on all Macs from Tiger (10.4) to Mountain Lion (10.8) (I have just finished tesing this on a number of these machines).
We have one other mavericks machine but this font was already installed on it when it was upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks so it works.

This is a lot more information than has been provided by almost all of the other posts on all the forums I have been reading about this problem, and most of the posts have a lot of people chiming in saying,
"It works fine for me, so it must not be a problem".
Not a lot of help has been forthcoming for the others in this same situation that I have been reading of, and most are resorting to Third Party Programs in an attempt to get fonts installed, all with varying degrees of success.
I am not willing to use a third party program to do something the operationg system should be able to do itself.
I have tried pasting the fonts themselves into all of the various fonts folders in the OS, to no avail.
I will be very interested to hear what you make of the information I have supplied.
Thank you again for your reply. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Apple Mobile Device Support Will NOT Install - Win 8 OS

I uninstalled EVERYTHING Apple...all folders, all apple software. I went through my computer and everything was removed. I did not go through the registry and remove anything so that may be where the problem is.
I looked in programs and features and there is no "Apple Mobile Device Support" installed.
It's as if it will not install, no matter what I do.
I think it may be a registry issue in Win 8 but not sure.
I have looked all over for a solution but to no avail. I uninstalled everything, reinstalled iTunes, I even tried to installed the .exe specifically for Apple Mobile Device Support and it rolled back, refusing to install it. I have tried updating drivers. My iPhone does show up in Task manager as well.
Under device manager, my iPhone
I follwed this >link< and did exactly what it said to do but still didn't work.
I have a feeling there is no solution to this one. Any other suggestions? Is there a way to remove more apple software including in the registry?
I appreciate any feedback. If anybody else has had this issue and have a proven method to resolve it, PLEASE share.
Thanks again!

I have the same problem with Win7. Did uninstall so many times now I can do it in my sleep. I did one thing which seemed to work for a while. After I uninstalled itunes 11, I reinstalled the earlier version. That brought back the Apple Mobile Device Support feature. Then I updated itunes to the latest version. Then I get the same message about amds not the latest version and uninstall itunes etc...(evern though when I check amds IS the latest version). It's a merry go round. Can't sync my iphone 4s or iPad 3. I finally got rid of itunes 11.1.1. Guess I just have to sit back and wait for a while until the new version comes out or until someone figures out a solution.

Isaac, Two knowledge base articles that may be of further help are:
Reinstalling Mac OS X 10.6http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6606
and Reinstalling Application Software that came with Mac OS X 10.6
Be sure to read them through if you have any further problems.

HT5022 This is not Apple like, the installer will not install because it reports 10.8 is not supported

This is not Apple like, the installer for AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
will not install because it reports 10.8 is not supported. So how do I configure my older Airport Express

AirPort 5.6 won't install under Mountain Lion, but it will run once it is.
Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
Run Pacifist.
Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.

I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

I have installed latest update for itunes but it will not install and I receive a message Apple Mobile device failed to start. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes but have the same problem. I am using windows 7 and internet explorer

Hi there willjay3976,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
-Griff W.

10.6 Will not install from disc to a S.M.A.R.T. verified, zero-wiped, manufacturer's original, internal hard-drive.

I recently wiped my main drive using zero-data process. It seems to be "okay" when verifying its integrity. It is also "verified" according to S.M.A.R.T.
10.6 from Apple's Installation Disc will not install. It makes 20 estimated minutes remaining, then tells me it cannot copy necessary files. Is my superdrive defective out-of-box and also a year later or is my installation disc a defect? Online communities fail to provide any other causes.
By the way, using Recovery HD to download and install Lion is a failure. It tried three times, each ending in failure, unable to verify said package. Apple, try harder.
[email protected]

I think my superdrive might be defective. It ratchets an awful lot while trying to copy necessary files for installing Snow Leopard. I am taking to a Genius Bar, running a hardware test consistently gets locked up. Here is more on that!:
Inserted retail Hardware Test disc, booted holding D.
Probing took 12 hours and counting, I hard reset my computer.
(Suggested by others) I unplugged my Logitech mouse and, wow!, probing completed.
During pass one of mem test, it locked up showing no progress for an hour-- hard reset!
Apple's Hardware Test was a total failure on my end. An ethernet connection to a router and my Apple keyboard were the only things connected to my 2011 iMac while booting to this hardware test! Bummer! I trust my Apple team will have better diagnostic equipment.
Can Apple Hardware Test even determine if an iMac's superdrive is bad?

Itunes 11 will not install on my Windows 7 computer because it cannot start the 'Apple Mobile Device' service, what can I do?

itunes 11 will not install on my Windows 7 computer because it cannot start the 'Apple Mobile Device' service, what can I do?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
