Bluetooth and latest update

System update - where has Bluetooth gone?
A seemingly innocent set of updates were on offer last night on my mac and after running them, bluetooth has disappeared.
That is odd because for years I have been running a Bluetooth mouse on this computer.
It no longer is present as a separate item in System Preferences and nor can I find it under any of the other items.
Even the computer "about this computer" under bluetooth says - "No information available"
Does this mean that my bluetooth interface has died or is it a software glitch.
Using Macbook Air 2010 model, OS 10.8.5 with all updates applied.
Any clues?

Back again folks. I found some old articles {2006} about this problem and did the old fashioned approach of kicking the machine in the guts and restarting. Worked again. The old reliable wins out again.
The old articles were helpful, don't toss them out!

Hey there 111brownyn
Go to Settings>General>Accessability>Assistive touch(in the bottom)
and switch the toggle on. You'll find now a smaal square around your screen.
Touch it aand perform the double click gesture with the virtual home button on the screen.
I think your Home button has been damaged.
Do let me know if it worked

Response to forum questions and latest updates

We have prepared the following FAQ to address some of the common concerns and questions on this forum; thank you for your feedback to date.
I have opened a seperate discussion thread http://forum.stage.creative.com/showthread.php?t=6283.
Driver & Application Questions
• Where do I download drivers and applications for my product  To download drivers and applications, please follow these steps: Click on SupportClick on DownloadsChoose the region you are in, and the countrySelect your product type, then your specific product/model and click next Choose your Operating System (such as Windows Vista 32-bit or 64-bit)Begin to download the various programs needed.
• Will future driver releases be certified for Windows Vista  Yes, all of our future releases will be Microsoft certified.
• Applications from the original Sound Blaster X-Fi CD do not work in Windows Vista. Will there be downloads available for all missing applications and when  Driver downloads and basic software such as the Audio Console are available for download from our web site. A free CD containing the full application suite will soon to be available to order from our Online Store (a Shipping & Handling charge will apply).
• Why does the packaging say Windows Vista Ready when there is no Vista-compatible install CD in the packaging  This is to indicate that drivers are available online to support Windows Vista.
• Is there a difference in the Windows Vista and Windows XP implementation of the X-Fi CMSS3D feature  Yes. The architecture of Vista doesn t allow a feature like CMSS-3D to operate in hardware for applications that use the Microsoft API s. If a game for example uses OpenAL, then CMSS-3D will run in hardware but if a Microsoft API is used it operates on the host within Windows Vista s application level effects architecture.
• Is there a difference in the Windows Vista and Windows XP implementation of the Crystalizer feature  No.
• Why is it taking so long for Creative to provide full driver and application support for its products in Windows Vista, given the 6 year development time of the OS  Even though Windows Vista has been in development for several years and in public beta for a long time, the key reason for delays in providing finalised signed drivers for Windows Vista which affected several manufacturers is that the audio features in Windows Vista were incomplete until a few months before its final release. Other features in Windows Vista such as APO s (Audio Processing Objects) could not be installed for our products until do***entation and tools were available from Microsoft. This was an issue for all aftermarket sound card vendors. Since we received the correct tools and do***entation for implementation, we began working diligently to finish the development and release the driver updates for our range. Given the considerable number of products, it is not feasible to release everything at once, so we staggered the driver release schedule.
• There is a lengthy gap between driver releases. Would it be possible to have more frequent beta-version releases  We focus on delivering stable driver sets as this is more efficient than multiple interim releases. We anticipate releasing a further X-Fi update in the end-May/June timeframe. Feature Loss
• Why is SPDIF passthrough not working with Windows Vista 64-bit's Will it ever  SPDIF passthrough is available in the latest X-Fi update. For the Audigy Series, we cannot support this feature in Windows Vista 64-bit.
• Will decoding of Dolby Digital and DTS signals be supported in the future If not, why not  These functions are not supported at driver level in Windows Vista and going forward will be supported at application level by applications such as Power DVD or WinDVD.
• Will DVD-Audio be supported in the future  We are not supporting DVD-Audio in Windows Vista.
• Will 6.1 speaker mode be available in future drivers If not, is this because of Creative or Microsoft  No, as Windows Vista does not support this speaker configuration.
Bugs/Specific Issues
• Why is the CPU utilization on some Windows Vista systems significantly higher when using X-Fi CMSS-3D than on Windows XP  This is a 3rd party product issue on which Creative cannot comment. We have made CPU utilization improvements in the forthcoming X-Fi update.
• Why do I get BSOD and system instability when an X-Fi card is installed in my Windows Vista system with 4GB or more of RAM  This issue will be addressed in the next X-Fi driver update. It is also recommend to check with your motherboard manufacturer for the latest version of the motherboard BIOS.
• Enabling the Crystalizer during ASIO Playback with an Elite Pro causes reproduceable BSODs (CTEXFIFX.DLL) why  We have reproduced this issue and are working on a solution.

Oh and where are my manners!

Issues with iPod Touch and latest update (4.3.3)?

I recently updated my iPod Touch 3G to 4.3.3. Before updating, I had absolutely no issues. Since updating, the iPod will shut off at will, sometimes flickering, sometimes going straight to the "slide to shut down" screen. Sometimes it will shut down in the middle of an app, I'll start it back up, and it will shut down again immediately. Occasionally, when I start it up after crashing, it will make the camera shutter sound! And there's no camera on this iPod!
Possible extenuating circumstance: I upgraded from a Power PC iMac to an Intel iMac at the same time I updated the software on the iPod. I have read the suggestions and the troubleshooting guide, and nothing has helped so far. I wiped the iPod clean and reinstalled and all that did was wipe out my settings (of course). Resyncing the iPod worked (apps and music loaded fine), but still it shuts down without warning. I tried installing a new free app, but that didn't work.
Usually I'm pretty good at figuring out these sorts of issues, but I'm at my wits end. Is anyone else having these problems? Am I screwed?

Okay, so now I have read that you have to install a free app through the phone, not through the computer. I've done so and it looks like everything is good for now. Keeping my fingers crossed. My question now, is that if this is a common occurance with the 4.3.3 update, why did Apple imply that I needed to wipe my iPod clean when this was the much easier and less invasive answer?

Instalation DVD with Leopard+iWork09+iLife09 and latest updates

I want to install original leopard DVD + iWork09 + iLife09 then apply all updates my mac and from this point make a new installation DVD for future reinstallation's on this machine.
is this possible or not ? If yes how?
best regards,
Paulo

Your question was answered in the first reply. The answer is no, & it still applies if you exclude iWork 09 & iLife 09 & their updates. This is not just because of DVD capacity limitations. It is also because the installer DVD runs a number of checks on its contents, which would fail if you replace any of its installer packages with newer ones, & because the various packages are associated with "preflight," "postflight," & other script processes that would have to be changed as well.
IOW, the installer DVD doesn't just install a preset list of files; it goes through a complex process of checking, assembling, linking, & configuring the OS as it installs it, including creating default preference & other files appropriate for the target Mac.
It would not be impossible to alter everything involved to include the updated changes, but it would require a careful study of the interdependencies of the packages & scripts, modifying them as needed, creating new checksums, & so on -- basically, re-authoring the whole DVD. With tens of thousands of individual files being installed, this would not be quick or easy to do, & given the frequency of update releases, the results would not be worth it.
As suggested, a much more practical approach is to clone a freshly installed & updated startup drive -- IOW, to copy the end result of the installation process.
As for reinstalling the OS to get rid of whatever degradation of its performance occurs over time, assuming the file system & hardware are healthy, all you might need to do is empty the caches from time to time. Some of them grow quite large & there is a small performance penalty associated with the need to sort through some of them to get the appropriate cached data. However, since cached data speed up day-to-day use, you should not do this very often, at most a few times a year, or the result will be a net loss of responsiveness as the caches are repeatedly recreated & filled with needed data.
Also keep in mind that the net performance gain from 'cleaned' caches is small, so if you are seeing significant degradation of performance over time, you probably have some specific problem that needs to be addressed directly, rather than by the "nuclear" solution of reinstalling the OS.

Can't see Korean characters properly in text messages after latest update

Pretty simple, Korean characters used to work on my Q10 (being able to see them), but now after the latest update, they show up as half Chinese characters and completely garbled and unreadable.
This has basically made my Q10 useless to me, and I've moved back to my Galaxy S3. While I love my Q10 and BlackBerry, all of the bugs I've encountered has sort of made me... well, not happy.
Is there any chance this particular issue is going to get fixed?
Thanks.

Just as additional information: moving my SIM card to a different phone and recieving the exact same text works on other phones, so it's definitely the Q10 and latest update (as I never had an issue previously with it).

It appears overkilling to install Bootcamp and a complete Windows environment just for running a single, old-fashioned piece of software...
Old 32-bits Windows programs usually run fine with WINE, of which I warmly recommend the "PlayonMac" version (free).
http://www.playonmac.com
Just try with Playonmac...
If it does not work, try the other free WINE port for Mac, Winebottler:
http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
If even this does not work, there is a not-free WINE port named Crossover:
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover-mac/
It has a free trial mode, so you can test if it works with your scanner program before purchasing it...

Mini and Latest Lion update broke my Bluetooth

Hello
Anyone else having bluetooth connection problems with the latest update of Lion OS?
Booth Apple Keyboard and Trackpad are now unuseable. Fortunately I have some old USB mouse and keyboard kicking around.
Joseph

Obviously nobody else has ever heard of this problem...as I have received no replies. Still am unable to launch the system and have read and tried everything I can find online. I really can't afford to take this to a service place as they want to charge me $125/hour to fix it...but my life and work are on this laptop and I was hoping to solve the problem myself simply. oh well, thanks to anyone who read my post anyway...I'll just bite the bullet. P.S. I'm writing this on a Windows XP platform and maybe that's the next way to go...sorry Apple. It's hard to find technicians to fix your stuff. Windows techs are a dime a dozen.
I was doing an automatic software update last night
of whatever the latest security update is and in the
process while still running other tasks in the
background, the software froze up. I rebooted and all
I got was the gray screen with the apple and the
spinning gear. So I tried rebooting again and again
and again. Nothin. It will not boot from any startup
disk while holding the "c" key. (OS 9 or 10) I have
removed the battery and tried with just the power
adapter. nothin. I have tried booting in safe mode.
nothin. I have zapped the pram. nothin. I have zapped
the nvram. nothin. It's an ibook G4 14" opaque white.
I'm running OS 10.3.4. I have an airport extreme card
installed. Any help would be delightful! Thanks!

**** Bluetooth and keyboard issues after latest itunes and 10.6.5 update.-

read below
Message was edited by: Paulman!

Have been experiencing intermittent keyboard, trackpad and usb mouse function issues after installing the latest system and itunes updates, which was yesterday or day before.
(Lost even some work because the only way to get things moving was to restart.)
Tried solution (verify and repair disc permissions) that coconutmunk recommends under similar topic from 2007:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1190210
That solution fixed worst part of the problem: getting all 3 parts irresponsive.
It seems as problem is still not entirely solved as computer has once tried to lock all 3 again, however before I had chance to get concerned it locked up all 3 again by itself.
Yet, usb mouse keeps on getting disconnected every now and then randomly, even after 2 runs with disc permission solution.
Conclusion from 2007topics where people had issues with keyboards and/or mouse devices, was that it was Leopard system having those problems, nothing like that was reported in about Tiger system, as it seems.
Now, those problems were fixed back then with an update, but seems this new update has brought back old issues!
Frankly, I really do not have time with computer issues, on top of Maya being characteristically moody already every now and then, as I have to be done with a pretty big project only within few days!
Please PLEASE, Apple crew, fix this issue asap!
I really need those things working properly quick!
Thanks in advance!

Bluetooth headset no longer work after latest update

I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset for Skype calling and Ventrillo on my Macbook Pro. Since after the latest update, it no longer works. Both input and output doesn't work and the applications hang for about 30 seconds. I've tried re-pairing the device to no avail. Both applications work if I switch them to the built-in microphone.
I also tried doing the same thing with a Plantronics 245 and I get the same issue.
Both headset work with my phone.

FIXED!!!!
Steps to UNF*ing your Mac.
1) Install an app called Pacifist
2) Download the individual installer for the Magic Touch Update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1066 DO NOT INSTALL THIS
3) Load your OSX Install DVD
4) Open the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg in Pacifist
5) Open your OSX Installer DVD in Pacifist
6) Look at the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package in Pacifist to see exactly what it installed and where.
7) Find these SAME EXACT FILES on the OSX Installer and reinstall them as root (e.g. using your admin password when asked)
8) Repair permissions (Do NOT skip this)
9) Reboot
10) MOST IMPORTANT: Never install the update again!!
Your bluetooth headset will work in skype after this. You will replace EVERY FILE THE MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package installed with one from the DVD. If you can not find it, the search bar in Pacifist works wonders.
You will get an error if you try to reinstall admin.framework about not having permission to install. This will be the ONLY file you will not reinstall.
Yes, you have more or less, in a very complicated fashion uninstalled the update (software update shows the Magic Touch update as needed afterwards).
Find me on Skype, where I will be able to walk you through it from my Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset at james.t.bolin
In case you developers want to know, I'll give you my play by play. After the installation of the update, it borked the bluetooth causing Skype to freeze. Reinstalling all the original kexts from the installer disk fixed the skype freezing issue, but there was still no audio. In fact, after reinstalling everything in the System>Library folder still left me with no audio, but it would not freeze or cause kernel panics at this point.
This is where I got the magic. I started replacing stuff in the usr directory. Upon replacing the usr>libexec>cups>backend>bluetooth; usr>libexec>hidd; usr>sbin>blued; and the blue.8 and hidd.8 files, I got audio back and the stars aligned in perfect harmony. I suspect apple needs to retool the kexts and rewrite the root level profiles.

Mavericks (inc. latest update today) - Apple Calendar - Google calendar & phone (HTC One SV) - duplicates and disappearances...

Hi.
Since upgrading to Mavericks (inc. latest update today), a perfectly harmonious environment of Entourage > Apple Calendar > Gmail > Android phone has fallen apart. I understand that this is down to Apple removing local sync services in the Mavericks 'upgrade', so I am now manually 'syncing' Entourage calendar events to Apple Calendar (Version 7.0 (1835.1)) by copying/dragging them across teh Calendar and syncing to Android via Gmail account.
Now, events in Apple Calendar are being duplicated - even if I create them in Apple Calendar.
And, when I delete one of the duplicated entries in Apple Calendar, both disappear from Google calendar and Android phone - and then the other in Apple Calendar.
This does not happen with all events, but I cannot figure out:
a) why duplicates are appearing and disappearing for some events, or;
b) what differs between the events that duplicate and those that do not.
Also 'in the mix', is a couple of third party apps that I think i should mention:
1. SyncMate - which I used successfully to sync my Android and iMac 2yrs and decided to uninstall post-Mavericks 'upgrade', and;
2. BusyCal, which I installed to trial as a fix post Mavericks 'upgrade' and uninstalled.
Both thrid party apps refuse to compeltely uninstall. I have gone through forums and trawled through Libraries to manuallly remove all residue of these apps, but they still pop up and prompt from time to time.
I mention the last bit regarding SyncMate and BusyCal, in case their residues are the cause of the Calendar duplications issue originally posted.
Can anyone please shed some light on a fix to both problems? I am dirty as all **** on Apple for the undocumented changes in the Mavericks 'upgrade' and am very close to going back to Windows (my iMac is an Intel model).
Ed.

Thanks Eric.
I have pasted the Etrecheck output at the foot of this post.
Something I tested earlier that had an intersting outcome..... I created two test events; one in 'iCal' and one in Google Calendar. The latter quickly sync'd and created duplicate entries in 'iCal', but kep tto singel instacnes in Google and Android. The event created in 'iCal' did not duplicate and sync'd properly a single instance to both Googe Calendar and my Android. Neither tests created duplicates on the Android phone.

do ec reset: https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-reset-the-ec-embedded-controller
Thanks for the quick reply, appreciate it very much...
That exactly what I did but still the same. I even flashed it back and forth a couple of times from j version to f version and follow exactly the ec reset but it didn't solve. Is there any other solutions?

I downloaded the latest update for my ipad and now it won't open. the screen shows the itunes icon and a pic of the usb cable

That message means that you have to restore the iOS software because something went wrong. Follow the instructions here. I hope that you have a backup.
