Battery power, Bluetooth, and Airport all shotdown

There has been a dvd jammed in my superdrive for about a week now and today I decided to get it out. I took off the bottom unibody panel, removed the superdrive, and took the disc out. When I put it all back together I see that my battery is not powering the computer anymore, the bluetooth isnt available and is reads that there is "no airport card installed". All of which were working before I removed and reinstalled the disc drive.
Any solutions?
I would apprecieate so so much.

power works now, but bluetooth and airport still not functioning at all.

Bluetooth and Airport have disappeared on my Imac G5 20"

So it just disappeared one day, and I haven't seen it since. It happened a while back, but I'd like to sell the computer and it would be better if I had the Bluetooth and Airport back. From what I can tell from the forums, it's a software issue. I've tried some of the remedies people have suggested (pulling the power cord, etc... clear the PRAM, ditch the bluetooth.plist, plus probably a few others), but to no avail. Any other suggestions, or is it a lost cause? It's a 2.0 HHz PowerPC G5 with 1 GB RAM; 10.5.6

Option 1
Restart the computer while holding down the Option key. This will tell the computer to look for bootable drives. If it finds your normal startup disk, select let, then click the right pointing arrow to boot up the computer. Now open up System Preferences> System> and select your normal Startup OS as the default startup disk.
Option 2
Reset your PRAM. Press and hold down the Command Option P R keys while starting your computer. You will hear the startup chime. continue holding down those keys until you hear the startup chime a second time. Release the keys. If the computer restarts, you will need to reset your Date and Time. It might be time to replace your PRAM battery. The G5 iMacs require a 3 volt CR2032 lithium watch/camera battery like below:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CR2032/
You can find these batteries at Walmart, Kmart, Target, most local drugstore chains, for between $3-$5, or at Radio Shack for $12-$20.
If you have any G5 iMac model EXCEPT the iSight version, you can probably do the battery install yourself. Watch this video on upgrading your iMac's RAM to show you how to remove the back of your iMac, if you don't already know how:
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/imac_g5_mem_m/
While you have the back off, use a can of compressed air to blow the dust out the vents at the bottom of the iMac, the fans, and anywhere else you can. Also inspect the 28-30 capacitors on the logic board. Look for dark spots, if they look puffy or swollen, or leaks.
Option 3
Reset the SMC by removing all cables (USB, Firewire, Ethernet, Modem, Power cord) from the back of your computer. Let it sit for one minute. Press and hold the power on button on the back of the iMac while plugging in the power cord. Release the power on button. Count to five, the press the power on button again.
Option 4
Place your original, came with the iMac when purchased install disk, into the slot on the iMac, press and hold the C key while pressing the power on button on the back of the computer. (If you have upgraded your OS from when you purchased your iMac, example your iMac came with OS 10.3 installed, and you're now using OS 10.5, then use the OS 10.5 Retail Install disk that you had used to upgrade your OS instead of the original, came with the iMac disk.)
Continue holding the C key until you see the OS starting to load. DO NOT do an OS installation. At the top Menu bar, select Utilities or Utility, and pull down to Disk Utility. On the left side of the window that opens,select your normal OS drive. Click First Aid at the top middle of the window if it isn't already selected. Click Repair Disk from the lower right area of the window. When that is done, click Repair Permissions to the left of the Repair Disk button you clicked earlier.
When that is done, quit Disk Utility. From the top Menu bar (I think its under Utilities) select the Start Up Manager, and choose your normal boot volume as the startup disk. Restart the computer. If successful, and you've rebooted from your normal startup disk, eject the install DVD/CD, and you're good to go.
Good luck.

Will an iPhone automatically turn off location services. If it goes below a certain battery power level, and so how you disable this in settings.

I am working with Georgia DOT and we have created an app to track our state vehicles using IPhone 5. My question is: will an iPhone automatically turn off location services? If it goes below a certain battery power level, and if so how do you disable this in settings.

I don't believe that this will happen, however, the entire iPhone will shut down when the iPhone reaches the auto-shutdown power level. There is no way to turn that Off other that connecting the iPhone to power.

Does the Bluetooth and airport..

I know this is probably a dumb question but i really want a mac before i graduate high school and i am saving up everylast penny to get one and i was wondering does the bluetooth and airport come built into the computer or do you have to buy it extra?
any help would be appreciated
thank you

They are both standard on the MacBooks. No need to add anything.

Issues between power, usb and airport?

Well, after having my new MacBook Pro for only a couple of weeks, I've come to the conclusion that there are some pretty weird issues between the power manager, usb bus and airport (and from what I've read here, are pretty widespread issues). First, every time I charge the battery, my Logitech MX laser mouse stutters and jumps all over the screen (trackpad works smoothly though). If I turn off airport, the mouse works smoothly again. When the battery is done charging, the mouse will work smoothly again. Second, every now and then (when the mouse isn't connected) the trackpad will start to stutter and jump all over the screen. When this happens, I've noticed that the graphics card is running slowly as well (expose stutters). Both of these issues can then be remedied by one of two actions, either plug something into a usb port, or turn off airport. I am also suffering from the missing first letter issue, which also seems to go away by disabling airport... So, since disabling airport most of the time is not an option, anyone care to take a guess as to how long it will take Apple to come up with a fix to these issues?

TM does not backup to a networked drive in the same way as a directly connected drive. A networked drive requires the creation of a .sparsebundle disc image file that holds the actual backed up files. So when you shift from direct to networked connection TM actually makes a different backup. This is unrelated to the actual type of port connection. So there's really nothing you can do to have TM use one backup for each type of connection used in your situation.

Missing bluetooth and airport?

Hello lovelies,
My dad bought a 2nd hand Mac Mini to use with his HD TV to stream online TV and we've been having problems. Established it does all work fine but now trying to connect it to the accompanying bluetooth keyboard and mouse and the specs say it can't find any info about Bluetooth or Airport. Could they have been removed? I was expecting to go in and activate in the top right of the screen a la my MacBook. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
Much love, Charley

Hi Charley,
Some of the older mac minis were sold either pre-configured in the store or customized without an airport & bluetooth card (which are combined I believe in the mac mini). The reason why it's reporting "no info available" is simply because it is lacking the card. My recommendation would be to probably just buy a usb network dongle that you can plug in the back of your mini. It sure would be a lot easier then cracking open your mini which would void the Applecare service warranty (if it still applies to your mini).

Modem and Airport all-in-one

Is there an Apple hardware unit that combines a Modem and an Airport All-in-one?
This would save energy, space and clutter.
Thanks

Unfortunately, no.

Can i install bluetooth and airport?

can I put the airport and bluetooth that I had in my dead Imac G5 into my Imac G4?

If this G4 iMac is the one noted in your other post as an 800MHz model,
the G5 iMac product is even further apart for a likely fit than if you had
parts from an G4 iMac 1.25 17"/20" which had an optional BT/wi-fi module.
So, I'd say after reading part numbers & some specs, the fit is an unlikely one.
Someone technical with time on their hands could probably make something
work; but the Bluetooth fix usually included the use of a USB BT adapter.
The older iMac G4 has USB1.1 ports, and most BT adapters are USB2.0.
For wireless, the original AirPort 802.11/b card would be a direct fit option.
Given the power/speed differences between USB2.0 adapters and USB1.1
port power, the use of wi-fi or bluetooth USB adapters may be mixed. There
may be some older spec USB adapters available online, that may work.
Hopefully you can find a workable solution...
Good luck & happy computing!

Bluetooth and Airport card install

I just bought the Bluetooth card and the Airport exteme card for my G5 dual 2.5 GHZ late 2004. Any idea where can I get installation instructions.

Powermac G5 Dual 2.3 How to add bluetooth and airport extreme ?

Hi,
I have the above computer. I would like to know if it is possible to fit an airport extreme and bluetooth module into the machine retrospectively ?
it is a cost option which was not supplied by my company ?
Any ideas or suggestions ?

All,
I am updating the question, so that it can be on record.
I manage to get hold of one from ebay. To check that it is the correct unit you need to look at the bottom of the base unit to identify the model. The model no. would give EMC part no. 2023. The EMC part no would have to match with the read me guide.
There are no installation instruction in the guide so i had to work things out (and you need nimble fingers !).
The unit has a bluetooth module and the airport extreme attached via two black screws. The bluetooth module fits on the airport extreme card, which in turn plugs on to the motherboard.
You need to remove the fan.
The bluetooth module is held to the card via two black screws, undo the screws and take the bluetooth away from extreme card.
On the bluetooth module there is two connectors connect the wire from the motherboard on to the module, then carefully plug the bluetooth module back on to the card and then screw the black screws on to the card.
If you miss a screw then do not worry as it works okay !
( I had a plumber come around reqgrding some work, so I lost concentration, when pluging in the module)
Place the module on to the board.
Place the fan back.
Restart the machine. The aiport extreme/bluetooth module would be picked up automatically.
It took me a couple of hours to work everthing out. The hardest part is to get hold of the module.
any questions email me on [email protected] Note that i am giving the 'advice' on best efforts basis without any liability.

ThinkVantage Access Connections, Power Manager, and Toolbox all crash on startup

I have a SL 500 with factory Vista , updated to SP2 and the current versions of the thinkvantage components.
Access Connections has always been very buggy of this machine (I guess the battery monitor has been as well), When I attempted to update them this is where I ended up.
Also just installed new .net framework 4 as well.
thanks for any help

Fixing your iPhone 5 Battery Life - Once and for all!

Greetings folks - I'll get right into it here:
1. Let your iphone 5 drain completely out.
2. BUT, Once it gets on 1% however, you must go into: Settings>General>Rest>Reset All Settings.
(note: This will not ruin ANY of your personal info the phone. You will loose only a slight amount of settings for apple only apps. As well as your home and lock screen photos will need replacing. All very easy stuff to redo. Again, no worries here.
3. Charge your iphone for 2 hours or more ( for best results charge overnight)
Now, my histroy is this:
New iPhone 5 from factory. Lost 16% on standby overnight. And was continuing to loose battery at an unaceptable rate. Tried reseting DFU Restore with new firmware (as I read in other forums) That did NOT work for me. As of right now I am using all my features my iphone touts. No turning off notifcations for apps or bringing brightness lower. The ONLY thing I have turned off in iCloud is BOTH "Photo Stream" and Documents and Data. As, I do not need these on. I will be trying to turn them on in couple days and see if it makes difference. Oh, and I have check mail to 'Every hour'.
Please, if you Iphone 5 is suffering from BAD battery, this work around does works, just wish apple would allow for a script to do this for us all.
Plese give it a try. I was seriously ready to send my phone back until I read about "resetting all settings".
cheers

Hey there chris11350,
It sounds like you are seeing various unexpected issues when using your phone. I would start by closing all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it from your backup with this article to erase the current iOS installation and install a fresh copy:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Adding Bluetooth and Airport module?

I recently acquired a 1.25 GHZ 1st gen Mac Mini with a 40GB HD which did not include the Bluetooth / Airport module.
Is there any way to add it to the machine myself?
Thanks,
Awfers

If you Google for something like 'mac mini airport kit' you should get a number of hits, including from some suppliers who have had this item in stock, and with luck, one or two may still be able to supply one (Amazon claim to have 2 at the present time, but stocks in any location will likely vary quickly since there are few left on the open market and still lively demand). Prices in the past have ranged between about $90 and $109. Alternatively, Apple approved service providers can still obtain these, but many will only order one if you have asked them to fit it.
If you can get hold of one of these kits, it contains the Airport card and 'riser' and antennas for both Airport and Bluetooth. Fitting is relatively easy if you have confidence in opening your mini, and with a little care can be done in about 30 minutes.

'CPU Fan, Battery, Power Jack, and Blueray drive' replacement advice

Hi,
My HP laptop is:

Could anyone please confirm for me if these spare parts below can be compatible with my HP pavilion notebook?
1- HP Pavilion dv6 Battery 6cell
Could anyone please let me know why when I looked for 'HP Pavilion dv6 Battery 6cell', there were many similar items of 'HP Pavilion dv6 Battery 6cell' listed. how could I know which one is the most compatible with my laptop??
2- DV6 CPU Fan Or DV6 CPU Fan
3- DV6 Power Jack
4- My HP Notebook support running BlueRay drive. It appears HP part # 665329-001 has replaced 641824-001
The drive part number is presently 665329-001 found HERE
However, I found that mydvddrives.com doesn't have a
However, as long as that site 'mydvddrives.com' is not 98% positive feedback. and doesn't have money refund guarantee. Also, since I don't find internal BlueRay drive in my own HP agent in Yemen. Thus, I had to look for 'TheHP-Compaq 665329-001 SATA Blu-ray BD-R/RE Drive, ' in ebay.com. But, zero results resulted in researching, although there are some other ones. I think that my search withTheHP-Compaq 665329-001 SATA Blu-ray BD-R/RE Drive is correct as long as that part number was sugggested by that HP agent.
Moreover, When looking for 'HP-Compaq 665329-001 SATA Blu-ray BD-R/RE Drive' at amazon.com, I foundHIGHDING SATA Blu-ray BD-R/RE Drive Burner Writer Replacement for HP-Compaq 595761-001/665329-001/59... . However, there isHIGHDING in the name of blueray, which I don't know what is?
However, I, myself, don't know if any BlueRay drive, other than that its part number is665329-001 can be working/compatible with my laptop or there is a specific part number of BlueRay must be purchased in order to work on my laptop well.
Thus, could you please let me know if any BlueRay other than that one TheHP-Compaq 665329-001 SATA Blu-ray BD-R/RE Drive can be compatible with my laptop or not??

Could anyone take some of his precious time out and reply to me?

T61 leds from battery, power, USB and Ethernet blinking

I've cannot run laptop with and without battery, it's not charging and not power on without battery and on ac. When I plug in into AC thouse leds still blinking but computer don't run?
Know some solution?

Your question is not very clear here. I believe you're having power issues with the unit?
If your laptop can power on with the battery and not with the AC adapter, you may need another AC adapter. If you have a spare AC adapter, try to swap adapters and see if this fixes the problem. Tech support can order one for you if your unit still has warranty coverage.
You may also want to check the yellow AC port (called the DC-in cable) on your unit to make sure that it is not loose. If your AC adapter fits very loosely when it is connected into the AC port, you will need to replace either the DC-in cable internally or replace the systemboard
If you laptop can run off the AC adapter just fine, but loses power the moment you remove the AC adpater with just the battery still in, you will need another battery.
If the battery indicator is always flashing yellow and the battery doesnt charge at maximum capacity, consider replacing the battery.
Hope this helps,
Mark
Do NOT PM me with technical issues. Post in the forum for assistance. Thanks
