Bluetooth adapter issue after being unplugged then plugged back in
I am running 10.7.4, MacBook Pro 2 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB Ram, Thunderbolt Display with Apple wired Keyboard and Apple Magic Mouse.
Initial issue:
After using the Magic Mouse for a few months I noticed a significant performance issue with the mouse when the internal hard drive would spin up for large data transfers, Time Machine backups, etc. I spoke with Apple Care and tried a number of things, tried switching the wireless network, all with no sign of a fix in the future. I paired the mouse with other computers and could never re-create the issue. I also paired other Bluetooth mice with the laptop and could not re-create the issue. After doing further research I found a number of people on-line that started to use an external Bluetooth adapter which would bypass the internal one. After purchasing one from Amazon, the results were immediately superior. I had plugged the adapter into the underside of my Apple wired keyboard and performance was as expected.
However, this has led to issue number 2:
My MacBook Pro will travel with me often therefore requiring me to unplug it from my "desktop" setup which is it plugged into a Thunderbolt Display, and the display has all of the peripheral plugged in including the wired keyboard with the external Bluetooth dongle plugged into it. When I have had my computer away form the set up for a few hours/days and then come back to plug it in, all external devices work immediately with the exception of the magic mouse. It will sometimes work fairly quickly, within a minute of plugging into the Thunderbolt display, and sometimes I am unable to make it work at all unless I restart the machine. This issue has happened with and without the Thuderbolt display. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Never got a green light.. does that mean no light at all.. or is it flashing amber??
The series 1 particularly but it happens in series 2 and 3 the TC power supply breaks. Then if you power down and turn it on again it is dead. No light at all. The power supply was on the edge and after powering off does not have the ability to supply start current to the TC so shuts down.. If you plug in after a while the light my flash briefly and go out.. it will not happen again until you wait a few hours for the caps to discharge.
If you have Apple Care on a computer and the TC is less than 3years old Apple will replace it.. otherwise you are joining a large and ever growing multitude of dead TC owners.

my iPad mini adapter shorted...I bought a new one but since it charges very slowly and when charged to 100% it falls to 95% immediately after being unplugged...what might be the issue????
When it does that. Replug the charger and charge to 100%. Now does is stay charged when you unplug the charger.
You may need to recalibrate your battery.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

I'm using a Rocketfish USB to Lightning cable for powering my IPAD2. But when I plug it in the battery icon beeps and comes on then goes off...then goes on...then goes...all beeping every time. Its as if its being unplugged and plugged in over and over. It won't stop...and its not charging....just beeping. I've check connections. Any ideas?
- While charging try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod. -
Time Capsule no longer works after unplugged and plugged back in
See if you can follow this.
When i first got the time capsule about 2 months ago i had problems right off the bat. I changed the WEP to a WPA, plugged the time capsule into the router instead of going wirelessly and used it to extend the network. After several time of reseting the capsule, changing settings and passwords, and waiting several minutes for the airport utility to say it could not connect i finally got it to work.
Now, the other day i went to move my desktop to another outlet, so everything was unplugged via the surge protector, for about 5 minutes then plugged back in. Now the capsule no longer works. I was getting the same messages as two months ago, as if everything was reset in turning it off for a minute. I went through the same processes as last time to get it to work, but not this time. After waiting at the airport page for a few minutes it says that internet connection is the issue. Now the capsule is about 1 foot away from the router and plugged in, and i have internet connection to the desktop and my macbook pro.
Does anyone have any ideas, omitting the stupid suggestions web pages tend to give, such as is it plugged in? is it turned on?
Help is GREATLY appreciated."plugged the time capsule into the router' try bridge mode and also configure its wireless setting

SMC RESET

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset. -
Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?
Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?
There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you. -
Bluetooth connection issues after update
Is anyone experiencing bluetooth connection issues after upgrading to iOS 8.1.3? I upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 and now it won't connect to my car bluetooth and my bluetooth speaker will sound like it has static from time to time.
Hi, joshzik.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are experiencing issues with various Bluetooth devices and your iPhone. Sometimes pairing the devices again can resolve the issue. However, here are a couple articles that have some helpful troubleshooting steps regarding Bluetooth connectivity and an iOS device.

Last night, after being off, G4 failed to start. Light comes on momentarily, then goes out. Unplug and plug back in and try again until finally starts up.
Hi Jim,
Could be a few things, but first...
Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAA36VPRAM/
Another common one is bad Capacitors in mostly the PSU, that need to bleed off charges before things work right. -
My extreme loses electric power while plugged in. I have to unplug and plug back in. This has happend 2 times in 1 week.
It might help to clarify the conversation here, if we knew what version of the AirPort Extreme that you were using.
Do you have the newer "tower" version of the AirPort, which uses a regular AC power cord......or......do you have a previous model that is "flat or square" shaped, that utilizes both an AC power cord and a separate, outboard power supply that plugs into the AirPort Extreme?
Approximately, how old is the AirPort Extreme? If you could look on the bottom of the AirPort Extreme. then locate and post back with the model number of your AirPort, we'll know even more. The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers. -

It is a 2x2.8 Quad Intel Mac pro, 8GB Ram, 8800 GT Video Card (running dual monitors), 10.6.8, Dual Internal HD (150/250), Single external HD (1TB), Dual Internal Burners (DVD - Stock/Blu-Ray - Pioneer), no PCIe cards installed.
I installed a brand new power supply thinking that was my issue, but it still does not power on after an extended period (1/2 hour or so) of being shut-off. It also at times will shut itself off after periods of inactivity even though it is set to never go to sleep, nor are the HD's set to sleep when possible.
One clue to give is that it IS set to restart after power failure. So when I go to press the button to turn the puter on and it is non-responsive, I then unplug and plug the power cable back in to the rear of the puter: it automatically starts-up as if there was a power failure.
The other possible clue I have is that my bluray burner is connected via SATA cable to one of the 2 open SATA connectors on the Motherboard. It only has issues when the hard drives ARE set to sleep when possible. When they are awoken, the drive is no longer listed as present. Meaning I cannot open the drive drawer. ;(
I am thoroughly upset about this.

Bluetooth connectivity issues after updating to OS X 10.10.3
I have been experiencing issues with bluetooth mouse connectivity (apple magic mouse) after updating OS X to 10.10.3. My Macbook Retina 15" pro (early 2013) keeps losing connection with the mouse. Switching the mouse on/off helps in re- establishing connection between the mouse and the laptop for a few seconds. I was under the impression that this update of Yosemite was intended to rectify bluetooth and wifi connectivity issues. Any suggestions/advice welcome.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

On Windows 8, the Windows service “Smart card” automatically shuts down when all smart card readers are removed. This service starts again when a card reader is connected.
This is the core reason for the bug described at https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8026326 when a card reader is removed, then plugged again:
javax.smartcardio.CardException: list() failed
at sun.security.smartcardio.PCSCTerminals.list(PCSCTerminals.java:109)
at javax.smartcardio.CardTerminals.list(CardTerminals.java:55)
If you have a look in PCSCTerminals.java (http://www.docjar.com/html/api/sun/security/smartcardio/PCSCTerminals.java.html)
44 // SCARDCONTEXT, currently shared between all threads/terminals
45 private static long contextId;
The property contextId is statically defined once during class loading for whole JVM.
56 contextId = SCardEstablishContext(SCARD_SCOPE_USER);
Then, the same value of contextId is used by the method list():
80 String[] readerNames = SCardListReaders(contextId);
But... on Windows 8, the Windows service Smard Card stops when the OS detects that no any card reader remains connected. This service start again when at least one reader is connected. After a stop and start of this service, the value of contextId becomes valid. The list() method should call SCardEstablishContext if SCARD_E_SERVICE_STOPPED exception occurs.
Could Oracle apply needed changes in order to solve this bug JDK-8026326 ?
I can provide you with smart card reader if needed...
Best regards,
Rodolphe.Small correction:
After a stop and start of this service, the value of contextId becomes invalid. -
The devices that die right away are the network adapter and any USB memory stick plugged in, they still have their lights and all running but aren't recognized in "This PC" and the network adapter isn't found in "Control Panel\Network and
Internet\Network Connections".
My keyboard, wireless mouse that runs through the keyboard's USB ports and the external HDD remains functional UNTIL I pull the plug on them, after that plugging them back in does nothing.
I put randomly in quotations because it seems to fail more often when I download something at speeds over 3Mb/s, for an example downloading Hearthstone through the Battle.Net client will more often than not make the issue happen after a little bit. BUT it still
happens randomly during NO network load what-so-ever.

* Turned off "Allow this computer to turn off this device to save power" in Device Manager for ALL devices in the USB tab that had the option, and the Network tab.
* Set the Power Options to high performance and disabled "USB Selective Suspended Setting"
I simply don't know what to do anymore and it's breaking me down, I need this fixed before the weekend or the LAN I'm planning to go to will be a disaster and I'll probably go insane trying to solve this myself.
Just tell me whatever more information you could need and I'll supply it, I'm desperate to get this solved.
**I never had any of these issues on my old PC that had different parts but the same network adapter and external HDD so they are not to blame for this, same for keyboard and mouse.**Hey, I hope this helps you out a bit... I have had the same issue on my Asus K55A notebook with Win8.1 Pro x64 from the beginning! Thru my extensive research I found something interesting and the possible cause to all this! What I found was that by design
the xHCI Host Controller has virtual HS 2.0 Ports linked to the 3.0 Ports... Enabling compatibility with 2.0 devices ok... What happens is that the xHCI stack is unstable just like you say... The ONLY WAY I was able to fix the problem was by unlocking the
UEFI/BIOS to allow me full access to USB Configurations... I had to disable 2 of the HS ports under the xHCI Controller since I have only 2x 3.0 ports... This allowed 3.0 devices to be enumerated correctly under the xHCI stack and 2.0 devices now were enumerated
under the EHCI 2.0 stack... That's what worked in my case... I'm still digging around for more info about this issue because I find it so odd that no one discovered this when designing xHCI stacks and drivers at MS for Win8/8.1 x64... I hope I shed some light
on this issue... Good luck and keep us posted!
Hi, Sebastian. I have the same problem but i'm getting crazy trying to solve it. Can you help me to unlock the UEFI to access full USB config? and give me some suggestions on how to solve the problem?
