Blue Tooth Tv as computer Monitor

I have a Samsung LN46A550 new HD TV. I was wondering if there is a way I can use to Blue tooth on my iMac to use this as my computer monitor. I have an Air port if that could be used in anyway.

No, you can't. Firstly, according to its specs, your new TV doesn't even have Bluetooth connectivity. Secondly, Bluetooth is a short-range, rather slow communications protocol. It is nowhere near fast enough for realtime transfer of HD video images, even if the functionality existed.
Airport won't help either, as this is another wireless communications protocol your TV doesn't have.
To use it as a computer monitor, you would need to buy an appropriate video cable to connect the Mac to the TV. Have a look at Page 11 of the for more info.

Blue Tooth interference between two IMacs

I just purchased the 27" retina IMac last week and I moved the old IMac #1 with same Yosemite 10.10 to another room 30 feet away.
The new IMac #2 goes crazy when the old iMac #1 is turned on. The mouse will freeze up and the keyboard gets dis-connected.
From the new IMac I tried to disconnect IMac #1 from bluetooth devices but it comes back. I tried to pair keyboards but they are not found? I have paired each mouse in blue tooth settings on each computer.
When I shut down the old IMac #1 all is fine on the new IMac. Not the answer but have on order wired mouse and keyboard for old and will turn off blue tooth on that computer.
I spoke with Apple tech and he didn't know what was wrong.

jcbear:
I've had the exact same problem that started about the same time as your post (Nov/2014). I was finally able to speak with a great senior level tech at Apple that understood the issue and who walked me through some steps that appear to have solved the problem. You will need a USB mouse to do it because you have to turn the bluetooth off temporarily but still be able to use a mouse. Basically he said it seems to be a pairing issue that doesn't normally occur because once a mouse or trackpad is paired, it should not be discoverable to other bluetooth signals (like my other iMac). So my understanding of what we did is turn the bluetooth off, erase all the bluetooth settings, reset the computer by unplugging the power cord for a while, and then start it up again to let my mouse and trackpad re-pair. Neither one has dropped the connection since and my other iMac has been on all day. Here are the steps we did:
1. Attach a USB mouse.
2. In System Preferences, go to Bluetooth Preferences and turn Bluetooth OFF.
3. In Finder, go to Macintosh HD>Library>Preferences and delete the file named: com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
4. Turn OFF the Magic Mouse and/or Trackpad
5. Shut down the computer.
6. Unplug the power cord from the computer and wait a least 10 seconds.
7. Turn ON the Magic Mouse and/or Trackpad.
7. Plug in the power cord and start up the machine. The Magic Mouse and/or Trackpad should automatically pair as a new connection.
This is all we did and it seems to be working like new again. You should know that I use the Apple USB Keyboard (not their Bluetooth Keyboard) so it wasn't an issue when I turned off the Bluetooth. You may need a USB Keyboard to do this as well.
Hope this helps. I know how frustrating it is to deal with this issue.

As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.

HT4108 Does anyone know if there is a blue tooth keyboard for an ipad air that will allow for a slideshow presentation to pair with a monitor.

Looking for a blue tooth keyboard that is compatible with the iPad air that has slideshow functionality for pairing with a monitor. I thought Zagg had one but they do not with the new operating system.
Thanks.

Use Type > Fill with Placeholder Text to generate lots of text. Select some text, then use Window > Info to display the number of selected words. Expand or contract the selection by holding Shift, or Shift+Cmd/Ctrl, and pressing arrow keys. When you have the number of words you want, copy, press Escape, click an empty spot on a page, then paste; the copied text appears in is own text frame. Select the frame and use Object > Fitting > Fit Frame to Content contain all the text within the frame.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign placeholder text" without quotes for info on changing the actual placeholder text, and also info on a text generator.

In theory yes, but the Apple (Boot Camp) bluetooth drivers aren't working vary well it seems.
Try a search in the forums and see what you can find.

Upgrading RAM and your HD will give you some performance gains, but depending on what you are doing, it may not be enough. Your best friend will always be processor speed. This has a direct relation to how many cores and the speed of the RAM.
However, if you are unable to spring for a new computer, then the options of running more RAM and a biggger, faster HD should ruduce some bottle necks.
Here is a site where you can check out what your computer can handle http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade They have some charts comparing speed gains with various components.
Are you using the track freeze option to manage the track count and subsequent demands on your machine?

my ipad mini retina display is disabled because my blue tooth key board made number key entries while in my back pack. How do I re-enable?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Loss of Blue tooth function after upgrade to 10.6

I have a MacBook Pro... I also have a Motorola Droid that was working perfectly with blue tooth when I was using OS 10.5 etc... I was able to "Browse" my phone, Transfer files, it worked like a dream. After upgrading my OS to Snow Leopard... I am unable to transfer files or do any thing of any value using the blue tooth connection on my computer. When I attempt to "Browse" the phone I get the message "The Device does not have the necessary services" I have searched the forums for help with this issue... I'm seeing a lot of "your phone doesn't have that capability" or "your provider has disabled that to make you pay more" or worse yet... I've seen things like "blue tooth isn't made for file transfer it's only for headsets and headphones.
Admittedly most of the people posting these questions had never been able to browse or transfer files before and were just now trying to make this work. I on the other hand had been able to use all these services. Which is why I am not considering my phone as the source of the problem at this time.
Nothing has changed on my phone "no updates in software" and the only change that was made is going from Leopard to Snow Leopard. This is leading me to the conclusion that there is something I'm not seeing in 10.6.x that has caused an issue with my blue tooth functionality... I have gone in to system preferences, in to file sharing and enabled sharing in bluetooth... I have also tried to delete the Bluetooth plist file as was suggested in other discussion forums.
This has not changed any thing I still get the same error when trying to transfer files or browse. If any one else has any advice on something I could try to return my bluetooth function to Pre10.6 that would be most helpful... I'm aware of work arounds "Emailing my self,,, etc." I'd prefer to have my bluetooth back.
Sorry if this post sounds harsh or snippy... I'm getting very frustrated.

Is it smarter economically to repair replace the board, or use the computer as it is and purchase a replacement?
This depends on your usage. If you find performance with 1GB to be satisfactory (maybe not optimal, but satisfactory), just keep using it as is. A new logic board (which will likely be used or refurbished depending on the source) is $400-$800 plus installation. I don't know what company's charge to repair the logic board.
If you decide to go with a new system, you can sell your current system to offset the cost. Or just keep it as backup/extra/computer, or give it to a family member who can use it. If I were going to give it to a family member, I'd reinstall Tiger, as it probably will work a little better in 1GB than Leopard.

!!!SOLUTION !!! Hotsync TE2 with windows 7 (64bit) via blue tooth SOLUTION !!!

I recently struggled with syncing my TE2 with the palm desktop application in windows 7 as many of you have too.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium, Palm desktop 4.1.4 and a blue tooth dongle.
The solution I found for my problem works like this:
Find a phone that has blue tooth and add it as device on your computer.
I used a simple Nokia 2630.
The add-proces went well and it automaticly had two COM-ports assigned that it uses for syncing or backup etc.
I shut down the phone.
Started the hotsync manager from Palm.
Klicked away error messages as that the com-port is in use by another device.
Klicked right in the tray icon for hotsync.
Select setup.
Select local.
Then get a message that the port is not available.
After that I can choose a port that IS availlable.
That is one of the ports that was assigned to my Nokia phone.
I select one of these ports and close the setup screen.
I have setup a blue tooth hotsync connection on my TE2.
Hereafter I can sync my TE2 with the Palm desktop 4.1.4 without a problem.
Just don't use the phone and hotsync at the same time.
The only messagfes I got are from docstogo that powerpoint does not work anymore, but you can ignore that message.
After one hotsync these messages don't appear anymore.
I don't start the hotsync program at startup, but start it manually.
I start it in compatibilitymode for Windows XP (Servicepack 3).
Right-klick on desktop icon choose compatilbility, check first box and from the dropdownlist choose Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
Until now . . . . . . no problems.
I hope somebody can use this too.
P.S. When you start the hotsync prog it can last a little while before it appears in your taskbar.
GOOD LUCK !!!!!
Greetings,
Jacques

Do you absolutely want to use the slower BlueTooth connection, or would you rather use the USB cable as designed?
Drivers are available now for 64bit systems. See the top of the Windows HotSync board for "64 bit Palm Desktop drivers are here!"
