Bluetooth completely not working on Yosemite

Hi,
I did a clean install of Yosemite on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2012). Before that I had an upgraded (from Mavericks) version of Yosemite and everything worked well.
Now bluetooth is completely not working - it doesn't see any devices. I tried reseting PRAM and SMC but it didn't help. Have you got any clues?
Cheers

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Volume for bluetooth devices not working

    I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones and since updating to Yosemite 10.10.3, I have not been able to control the volume of them with the volume keys on the keyboard or the volume in the menu bar 99% of the time.  I have once gotten it to work and have no idea what I did for it to work.  If I take the volume all the way to 0, it does mute the audio and the mute key still works as well.
    Changing the volume manually in individual apps (such as with the slider in Spotify or in a youtube video) works but thats only when I use the mouse to move the volume slider.
    I've done some searching around and it seems like Yosemite has numerous Bluetooth issues... I even had the horrendous screeching noise in 10.10.2 but that seems to be fixed now.
    Mid 2009 Macbook Pro 5,3

    I cheated and installed Windows 7 RC. ^.^
    But something you can do is:
    Click on the Start menu
    In the search bar look up 'Services'
    Open up Services
    Double click 'Bluetooth Services'
    In the 'Log On' tab check to see if 'Local Service' or 'Use This Account' is highlighted
    If 'Local Service' is selected then you're SOL and you're best bet is to re-install Windows. That's what was selected on mine and no matter what Account I set it to Bluetooth would not work. I even tried re-installing the Apple drivers from the OS X disc.
    But if 'Use This Account' is selected than I would look into the normal Bluetooth settings, as the problem is most likely there. You can also call MS and have them screen share with you, the guy I talked to said if 'Use This Account' was selected he could do more for me.
    Anyways hope this helped a bit.

  • Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

    Is their a fix for photoshop elements 11 move tool? Not working with Yosemite OS upgrade.

    Hi,
    We sincerely apologize for the problem customers are facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
    In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
    1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
    2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
    Plug-in installation instructions:
    1. Close Photoshop Elements
    2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
    3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
    • For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    • For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
    Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
    If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
    Hope this helps!

  • Scan to network folder will not work for Yosemite

    Scan to network folder, which is supposed to allow the unit to scan and save to a shared directory on a remote computer, does not work in Yosemite,  though it will work on Macs sporting earlier OS on same network. 
    HP personnel have indicated that HP does not support Apple Mavericks. One can only assume then that it will not work on Yosemite either
    Yet these units are still being sold to be used with Apple OSX.
    Please resolve HP's position.  If these units will not function properly under Mavericks and Yosemite, please explicitly say so.  The scan to network feature should not have anything to do with any OS issue, and it is much more likely that the issue is faulty HP firmware.
    If these units are supposed to fully function under Mavericks and Yosemite,  please provide substantive resolution of the many many problems users have experienced.
    The Scan to Network feature is what makes using these units viable as scanners. The fact that this works poorly at best, and not at all on any recent Apple OS, is simple acceptable

    IT IS OFFICIAL
    HP Case Manager has indicated that HP is abandoning Scan to Network Folder starting with Yosemite as OS security constraints present issues with using its current transport.
    Of course this took an hour of double talk and fiddling about before the admission was forthcoming...
    Shall we count the days until that information actually shows up in the forums?

  • Bluetooth is not working in my iphone 4

    bluetooth is not working
    in my iphone4

    The solution that worked for me was to Backup and then Restore.
    For the backup: you can do it via iTunes (plug the iPhone and right click over its icon on the Devices section and then choose Back Up) or download your photos, contacts and other important documents to your Mac using iPhoto (just download your photos) or apps like My Contacts Back Up (it will email you the full list so you can upload it to the iPhone later). Make sure you backup properly please!
    After you have done the back up choose Restore in iTunes and that will erase all the files and apps from the iPhone so it will be back to the settings it had on the day you used it for the first time (you'll be able to recover all the apps you paid for since they'll be linked to the Apple ID you used to purchase them).
    The iPhone will still have the latest version of iOS (6.1.3) so if the problem is -like in most cases- software related it would be fixed and you'll able to pair the device again. If not maybe you will have to downgrade the  iOS to the previous version.
    Hope this helps!

  • I updated my iphone 4S to 7.1.1 and now WIFI and Bluetooth do not work.

    I updated my iphone 4S to 7.1.1. Immediately after doing this, my wifi is greyed out, (cannot even turn it on), and my bluetooth is not working at all. I have discussed with Apple several times and even went to an apple service center. They claim that I have a HW issue and that I must pay $200 for another phone. HAving been a cell phone HW designer for 15 years, I know this is not true. If this is a HW issue, it was caused by the FW update. There is a problem with my phone that is a direct result of the FW update. If I could go back to the previous version, I could prove it but there is no way for me to do that. So, it looks like iphone has released an update that "breaks" some phones. What an easy way to force people to pay them $200 for a new phone. Hmmm, if other electronic manufacturers catch on to this, we are screwed. Apple has seen the issues on the internet and has seen the issues reported on thier own Communities. They know that many people are reporting the same problem. If I can look it up, anyone can. They know that they have screwed up. So instead of biting the bullet and fixing what they broke, (peoples phones), they are taking advantage of the opportunity to make more money by telling people that they have a HW problem that they are not responsible for and that it is going to cost $200 to fix what Apple has screwed up. Just let me go back to the previous version of the IOS and my phone will work again. Is anyone else having this same issue? Has Apple lost it? I have been more than pleased with my phone. I have been thrilled with customer support. What is going on with apple? Samsung is looking better every minute.

    Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
    It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

  • Reminders App does not work on Yosemite with two iCloud accounts.

    The Reminders App does not work on Yosemite (10.10.1) with two iCloud accounts. It seems like when there are two iCloud accounts connected in Yosemite (10.10.1) the plist file for Reminders disappears.
    I have tried restarting Reminders; restarting the mac; starting the mac in recovery mode to repair the disk and disk permissions; and starting the mac in recovery mode and reinstalling OSX.

    Yes sharing Reminders list works. The problem is, I have one shared iCloud account with a colleague (shared calendar, Reminders and email). It makes it easier to run our business with a single shared iCloud account...I know it's not the typical usage.

  • Bluetooth is not working with Windows 8.1 on U410 touch

    Hello,
    I have a Lenovo U410 touch, and i just upgraded to windows 8.1 though the store.
    And the bluetooth is not working at all, it says that the PC is searching for Bluetooth devices. While everything was working great before.
    I have updated all the drivers from the Lenovo websites and still nothing is working
    I went to device manager and checked under bluetooth: Intel (R) Centrino Wireless Bluettoth 4.0 + High Speed. Microsoft Bluettoth Enumator, Microsoft Bluetooth LE enumarator all 3 are up to date.
    Then I went to network connections (from the start) and i have a red cross under Bluettoth network connection 2 and says not connected.
    My windows is also up to date
    I really think gooing back to Windows 8 since i cannot listen to my music on my beatbox and connect to my phone and tablet,
    Thank you for your help

    hi erabbath,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    If you have the Intel Centrino N2230 Wireless + Bluetooth adapter, can you try to:
    1. Navigate to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Devices and Printers and try to pair a bluetooth device (i.e. Bluetooth Headset) and observe if it gets detected under the device list.
    2. If the Bluetooth Headset is listed but it's not working try toright click on it > choose Properties. On the bluetooth properties Window, go to the Services Tab and check all the appropriate bluetooth services.

    Let me know your findings.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 does not work with Yosemite 10.10

    My Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 does not work with Yosemite 10.10 nor does my Premier Elements 12. When I try to start them up I get the error message. After uninstalling and reinstalling a few times its still the same. Strangely enough PSE 11 seem to work with Yosemite.  I uninstalled my Premier Elements as well and it behave the same way. How do I get a new copy of Premier Elements 12 to reinstall?

    Just to further test what is happening to my iMac on Yosemite is I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CC and when I go to launch it it gives mr the same error message as when I try to launch PES 12 or Premier Elements 12. So whatever the problem is it involves all three and so upgrading to Photoshop CC doesn't even help.  Could there be an Adobe file damaged or missing somewhere that is common to these and yet does not effect Revel and Lightroom?

  • Compressor 3.0.5 not working in Yosemite.  Fixes?

    Compressor 3.0.5. does not work in Yosemite 10.10.1. 
    I receive an "Unable to submit to queue.  Please restart your computer or verify your Compressor installation is correct." error message.
    I'm also currently unable to download the newest version of Compressor 4.1.3, as my video card (ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB) in my mid-2007 iMac prevents me from downloading it.
    Does anyone have any similar experiences with this?  Suggestions?  Fixes?

    3.5 may work, but the preference panel doesn't - which makes the setting up of clusters a real PIA - need to learn terminal setups.
    My recommendation is if you want to run compressor on 10.10, spend the few bucks to run C4.

  • Bluetooth is not working in Iphone 4s

    I am using Iphone 4s. Bluetooth is not working. it is not identifiying or identified by other phones / Laptop

    That is correct.  This has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, telephone handsfree devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps form the app store and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this it will not connect to any other phones/computers/devices
