Bluetooth And USB Connectivity Issues

I am having issues with both my bluetooth mouse and keyboard staying connected and or dicovered. Also, peripherals connected via usb are also dropping offline randomly. Any thoughts?
Thanks

  • TS3048 Bluetooth and USB ports aren't working can't connect mouse or keyboard.

    Bluetooth and USB ports aren't working, so am unable to use Imac past turning it on. There's no way to connect mouse or keyboard, it started right after a software update for Maverick (OS X bash Update 1.0 – OS X Mavericks), bluetooth symbol not showing in the task bar at all.    

    Hi SBrwn,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The symptom you're describing can be frustrating to troubleshoot as our options are limited. I do suggest resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) if you have not already. This step can help you regain use of USB and Bluetooth.
    Follow these steps to reset the SMC on your iMac:
    Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
    Shut down the computer. [by holding down the power button]
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    You can find these steps and more information at this link:

    All the best,

  • Nissan Altima BlueTooth and USB problems

    Just picked up my 2010 Nissan Altima with Premium Sound Package (includes BlueTooth and USB). Palm P100EWW on Sprint.
    Problem 1)  Bluetooth pairs and connects, allows me to make or receive calls.  However, it did not download my phone book, so I am not able to call people by saying their names.  If I say List Phonebook, it says that there are no entries to list.  Help!?
    Problem 2)  I want to play music via the USB.  When I connect my Pre, the car screen says "Check Device" and will not do anything else.  Help!?
    Thanks in advance,
    JimR

    1) Bought my 2010 Altima in Oct. 2009
    2) Non Nav System
    3) Phonebook will not download
    4) Phonebook works in Nav system
    5) Engineer was brought in to research

    7) i replicated issue and fix for the engineer in under 30 seconds
    8) Fix = nav system works 100% no issues
    9) Received phone call yesterday from Nissan telling me I'm FU&&ED!!!
    10) requested they upgrade to nav system as that works
    11) answer = I'm FU&&ED!!!

  • USB Connection Issues-New Mac Pro

    I have a new Mac Pro (late 2013) that has USB connection issues.
    First; it often fails to recognize a USB keyboard, or takes more than a minute to do so.  I tried it with two different keyboards, one a regular Apple USB keyboard and the other a Das Keyboard unit.  I tried it both on a powered USB hub and directly connected to the computer.  Neither of these affected the problem.  It happened both under Mountain Lion and Yosemite, and seems to be worse under Yosemite.  This problem DOES NOT occur on my Mac Mini, so the problem appears to be with the Mac Pro.  Most of the time unplugging and plugging the keyboard in again solves the problem.  This gets old.  I have gone to using a bluetooth keyboard but much prefer the USB keyboards with the numeric keyboard.
    It also ejects the only USB drive attached to it.  It does not eject the two Thunderbolt drives.  The disconnection occurs when the Mac Pro is in the "sleep" mode; the "Disk not ejected properly" message is displayed when the computer wakes up.  This happens almost all the time.  The same drive does not exhibit this behavior when attached to the Mac Mini.  It is an older G-Drive unit.
    Possibly related to this is the fact that the two Thunderbolt units (Pegasus R2 and Lacie) do not shut off when the Mac Pro is sleeping.  I wonder if the problem lies in how the unit "sleeps" and "wakes up".  I don't know enough about the internal workings of these things to know how to test for this.
    If anyone knows how to fix this I'd appreciate some advice.

    Have you tried resetting the SMC and PRAM?

  • Nokia Lumia 1520 - Bluetooth and Data Connectivity...

    Hi - i recently updated my Nokia lumia 1520 with a new firmware that Nokia tool told me being available.  after that i have consistantly having bluetooth connectivity issues and Data connectivity issues.
    i have a Jabra Clipper bluetooth headset which .  i am no longer able to pair it. it detect and says jabra clipper, then starts pairing, then simply says couldn't connect.
    if i have wifi on, if i go out of range of the WIFI signal, my data connection stops working as well.  this is 100% of the time.  i have to reboot my phone to get data connectivity back.
    Its on Lumia Cyan
    manufacturer name: RM-937-im_mea3_1019
    core build id: 7030.80
    bsp release: 2061.0066
    applicatoin versoin: 3.11.2.1
    build creation date: 7/8/2014
    from Nokia software recovery tool:
    Product Code: 059V479
    Software Version: 02061.00066.14253.40002

    Because I am just an end-user like you and I do not have your hardware combination here, I can only give general advice. Could be a new interoperability issue between these two devices, introduced with Lumia Cyan. Could be a old wrong pair-key. Or could be interfering between your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (Bluetooth Adaptive Channel Hopping). Therefore, let us start with the Bluetooth part:
    on the Nokia Lumia 1520, Settings » Wi-Fi » Off (to avoid any interference)
    on the Nokia Lumia 1520, Settings » Bluetooth » On
    (status: paired) tap and hold your Jabra CLIPPER » delete (if paired already)
    on the Jabra CLIPPER, press and hold the multi-function button until the indicator light is solid blue (approximately 6 seconds) to activate the paring mode
    Your Bluetooth headset should appear in your phone now. After you tapped on it, it should be paired successfully. Does it?
    If not, start over again and between step 1 and 2, power off both Jabra CLIPPER and Nokia Lumia 1520.
    If it still does not work, start over and between step 1 and 2, please hold volume down + power until the Nokia Lumia 1520 turns off (soft reboot; do not forget to set your date/time afterwards).
    If it still does not work, start over and between step 1 and 2, turn off your Wi-Fi access point.
    Does it work now?

  • Missing TCP/IP settings for iPhone tethering (Bluetooth and USB)

    Is it just me or Apple has completely disabled the TCP/IP settings for BT and USB connections for iPhone tethering (and possibly any other mobile devices)?
    I can now only set the IP addresses and DNS server. No Proxies or WINS settings tabs.
    I have also noticed that if you setup a USB tethering connection in Leopard and upgrade to Snow Leopard, the settings are still available, but NOT if you make a clean install of Snow Leopard and create a new iPhone USB tethering connection.
    I always use a SOCKS5 when I'm using my tethering connection for security and better/faster connection with my manual proxy server setup. I find the new "options" in SL very limited, not only for my usage.

    I got this to work again (in fact, I'm tethered right now
    Here are the steps I followed:
    1) Upgraded to iTunes 9
    2) Upgraded iPhone to OS 3.1
    3) Removed device from Bluetooth Devices list on my MBP
    4) Removed Bluetooth PAN from Network preferences
    5) Restarted iPhone and MBP
    6) Set-up iPhone as a Bluetooth Device on MBP
    7) Enabled tethering on iPhone
    8) Connected to iPhone network via the Bluetooth icon on my MBP menu bar
    9) Verified that the blue "Internet Tethering" bar was on the iPhone
    10) Manually added Bluetooth PAN to my MBP network preferences (connect show as yellow, "IP cannot be assigned" message)
    11) Opened the Advanced pane and clicked the "Renew DHCP Lease" button
    12) IP was assigned!
    I'm not sure if the first two steps contributed to the solution or not, but these are the steps that worked for me.
    Good luck to you all...

  • Tethering Question (Wifi, Bluetooth, and USB)

    I have an iPhone 5 and am able to tether  my LTE/3G connection to other devices. When I enable tethering, devices can get connected via Wifi, Bluetooth, or USB. Let's say I use my MacBook Pro to connect to all of those at once (so now the MacBook Pro is connected to the internet via Wifi, Bluetooth, AND USB). Does it use one of them over the others or does it use all of them at once to provide the fastest speeds?

    Does it use one of them over the others or does it use all of them at once to provide the fastest speeds?
    As has been pointed out above the Internet connection is provided by the phone through the carrier so even if the Mac did connect using all three connections, USB, WiFi and Bluetooth they would all be combined into one connection once in the phone  and out to the net so there would be no speed advantage, the phine and internet connection would be the bottleneck.
    In fact it is possible the speed would be lower as the phone would have to contend with the 3 connections into it.

  • N97 usb connectivity issues

    Hi,
    I've had my N97 for about a week now and am having some serious USB connectivity issues with the phone in that when I connect to my PC, on the first occasion it will recongnise the USB connection, but if it gets disconnected it subsequently won't reconnect.  This means I am unable to install the latest version of the firmware which appears to address some USB issues.  I've tried both version 1 and the beta 2 Ovi suite.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks,
    Trev

    Hi!
    Me and my friend at work got the same STUPID problem. We unpacked our phones, connected them and upgraded FW and got everything setup (mail, music etc.)
    Now I got back to work and thought that it was no problem plugging in my phone and update it with some new music and contacts...well was I wrong...the stupid 7000 SEK phone won't even take the electricity and charge...I get no connection to the PC...it worked fine 2 days ago...
    So I try to install the stuff on the CD again, no luck....I tell Windows to add new hardware, nowhere on the Internet and nowhere on the CD are there drivers to be found...
    So here I am with a million dollar phone I can't connect to my PC...what the hell is this???
    Looking in this thread and seeing the answers I should not hold my breath waiting for this to be fixed...but my question is: Will I have to wait for a FW update for this phone to connect to my PC?
    Regards

  • USB connectivity issues

    I recently bought a 20GB 4G iPod from a friend, who had bought it originally off of ebay atleast a year ago so all I have is the ipod itself and a usb cable.
    Everything on it works fine, all of the music previously put on works fine, as do pictures, etc. But when I went to go add and delete files off of the ipod I got the "USB Device Not Recognized" balloon popup in XP. After going through these forums and numerous others I haven't been able to accomplish anything. I've tried the 5R's (except for restore as I haven't been able to get the ipod connected in any way to this computer).
    I have another computer downstairs which is a few years older, about 5 years old but which has XP installed aswell, so I figured I might try and see if I could get anything to work on that.I tried to plug the ipod into just to see if something would work, and it showed up in My Computer right away before I had iTunes installed. I did, however get an error about the usb ports not being high speed, I'm assuming they're USB1.1 giving the computer's age, but it worked nevertheless. I got the ipod to charge, it to be accessible from iTunes, and to show up in Windows Explorer without a hitch.
    After having it fully charged I tried once again to hook the ipod up to any usb port with no avail. I checked both computers' properties and found both have 500 mA to each USB port, so I would assume the USB 2.0 ports would have a better chance of working than the 1.1?
    Any help is greatly appreciated, let me know if you need more information, thanks!

    This may sound really strange, but if your computer has a FireWire connection, try using that instead. I recently bought a new computer (HP w/Windows XP) and had all sorts of USB connection issues.
    USB Device Not Recognized
    iPod needs to be restored
    Cannot Read USB Storage Device
    Finally fed up, I tried the FireWire ports on the computer and it worked not problem. iTunes popped right up and started updating.

  • Help: USB Connection issues

    I have been having USB connection issues for 2 month and can't seem to find a fix. My MP is a 2 x 2.8 Quad-core with 16 GB ram, OS X 10.6.5. When I connect devices (iPhone, iPad, CF card reader) everything connects but when I sync or try downloading photos from my CF reader I get partially through but then I get an error that the device has been ejected.
    I have tried disconnecting my hub and connected directly to the ports but no change. Tried new cords, hubs. If I connect my Canon 7D camera directly to a USB port I can get the images off but that take for ever because of the file size. The only thing that seem to work and not loose my connection is my Epson Pro 3800 printer.
    I'm getting desperate at this point, I have two important photo shoots coming up the first of the year and need to get things working properly. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Here's some tips.

  • HT201210 I had an update message on my phone and I clicked yes to update.  Now the phone has a picture of itunes and usb connection, but can't be used.

    I had an update message on my phone and I clicked yes to update.  Now the phone has a picture of itunes and usb connection, but can't be used.  itunes says I have to restore my phone, but will lose all the data.  Is there anything else I can do? I really don't want to lose all my pictures and other data.

    It's in recovery mode. There is nothing left on the phone at all. If you didn't back it up before you started, your data is gone.
    you have no choice but to restore at this point.

  • How do you in xcode search devices in bluetooth and stablish connection other devices with iphone or ipad

    hi everyone
    how do you in xcode search devices in bluetooth and stablish connection other devices whit iphone or ipad ?
    the all answer is good
    and the source is enable for all

    Bluetooth on iOS has three different functions:
    o user level features -- For example, headsets.  There is no developer opportunity here (well, you can play audio that comes out the headset, but you know what I mean :-).
    o networking -- You can establish a PAN network to other iPhone OS devices with GameKit (going away)  or Bonjour.
    o accessories -- All Bluetooth accessory developers must go through the Made for iPod program.  Once you have an MFI device you can then talk to it through ExternalAccessory framework.
