Bluetooth connection no longer working in VW Touareg

I updated the software on my iPhone 6 plus to 8.1.3 and now am no longer able to connect my phone to the car through bluetooth. after several failed attempts (the message I received was "Unable to Connect") I reset to factory settings and when I attempted to pair my iphone it showed my phone as incompatible.
Is anyone else experiencing this? When is this going to be fixed?

Can you connect from your phone to another BT device, not the car? If you haven't ,I'd try a reset of the phone by holding the home and power button down. Next step would be to talk to your dealership and see if they have any ideas. Sometimes software can either get updated on iOS or on the vehicle and it can cause problems. Every dealership seems to have a go-to person that handles issues like this. Getting to know him or her well and getting their direct phone number will pay big dividends. A device restore might be necessary, but if it were me I'd talk to the dealership first.

Ipad IOS 8 Bluetooth speakers no longer work

Upgraded Ipad 3 to IOS 8 and Boston Acoustics Bluetooth speakers no longer work. The speakers pair with the Ipad, but connection drops when opening any app that attempts to use the bluetooth connection. Seems like the updated IOS blutooth driver is the problem. I tested with Iphone 4, Iphone 5, ipad 2 running IOS 7
and all work fine. Tested with Iphone 6 plus, Ipad 3, Ipad 2 using IOS 8 and none of the IOS 8 devices work... Also did the IOS 8 patch and did not fix this issue.
The Boston Acoustics Speakers supports Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR, A2DP v1.2
Seems like Apple can't get the wireless side right, IOS 6 had issues with Wifi and Bluetooth muting, that was corrected in IOS 7, now another wireless problem that makes these $350 speakers a boat anchor..... and not usable.
Perhaps they need to hire some RF / Wireless engineers and do a better job of regression testing... I am a wireless engineer and know that we never make hardware or software upgrades without extensive inter op testing and friendly user trials...

I have this same exact issue with my Boston Acoustics SoundWare XS Digital Cinema 2.1 system. Any other device can connect just fine including all of my previous iPhones and Android devices, but my new iPhone 6 will not keep the connection. Strange because the iPhone 6 will connect and work perfectly fine with my Plantronics Voyager Legend and my JBL Flip bluetooth. What happened guys, Mr. Jobs passed and you all forgot how to do proper QA? This type of foolishness is expected from Microsoft, not Apple.

MacBook to tv connection no longer working. OS 10.8

I have a mid-2010 MacBook, running OS10.8. I was able to use my Panasonic TV as a monitor but the connection no longer works. I tried the "Safe Mode" solution and that worked for awhile. After trying to connect (unsuccessfully), when I turn the tv off (still connected to lap top) the lap top screen flashes blue for a nano second.
Any suggestions for getting around this problem?

Your version of Mail didn't upgrade properly because you've moved it from its expected location location (to a sub folder you've named "APPLE apps").
Move it back into the HD/Applications folder and apply the 10.6.8 "Combo" update to fix things.

Remote Desktop Connection no longer works.

After verifying that all Remote Desktop Connection settings and firewall settings match the requirements, I cannot connect to the host computer running Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center from a client computer running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 over my
home (private) network. I was previously able to connect these same two computers when the host computer was running Windows XP Pro, but now that I have upgraded its operating system to Win 8.1 Pro the connection no longer works. The Windows Troubleshooter
cannot find the problem. What is wrong?

If you turn off a firewall in a router it is still using NAT which will also act like a firewall. In my experience its better to let your router be the firewall.
On most routers that have an SPI firewall you have to setup 2 rules to allow remote connections. One would be the firewall rule and other would be the port forwarding(NAT) rule.
Are you forwarding the correct ports to your mac from the router? Does your Mac have a fixed IP address?

Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works after OSX update

After installing the latest OSX update yesterday (something about iChat encryption), Apple Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works with my iMac.
When I restarted the iMac after installation was completed, the iMac would no longer recognise my Bluetooth Apple wireless keyboard. I've tried with 2 other Apple wireless keyboards as well, but to no avail. None of them work with the iMac any longer. All 3 keyboards work with my PowerMac Quad G5 though.
The iMac "sees" the keyboards, but the pairing doesn't go through because the iMac doesn't seem to recognise the keystrokes when entering the pairing code.
I had to go out and buy myself a Microsoft wired keyboard to be able to restart the iMac (couldn't enter the login password without a keyboard).
My bluetooth mighty mouse works flawlessly though.
Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

I used to send photos from my Lumix Tz-40 camera directly to my iPad using the cameras WIFI. Since I installed IOS7 the connection no longer works. Anyone got any ideas. I have already installed the latest version of Panasonic's Image App (1.7.1)

I used to send photos from my Lumix Tz-40 camera directly to my iPad using the camera's WIFI. It was all working well until I installed IOS7. The connection no longer works. The camera still keeps the iPad in its connection history. The camera's wifi network still appears when I select a WiFi network from the iPad but the Wifi status icon never appears on the iPad. So the connection is never made.
Anyone got any ideas. I have already installed the latest version of Panasonic's Image App (1.7.1)

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan

TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?

TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?
My TC and modem have been up and running for at least the last 2 years without any issues.
It recently started acting up and I would have restart it as I had no internet access. All of a sudden My TC stopped connecting to internet regardless of restart. Utility shows i have no internet connection. I had all the correct green lights on my modem. I figured it might be the modem and connected directly to single ethernet port in modem to my mac book and it worked. When I reconnect modem to TC and restart Modem, TC still shows no internet connection in utility even though I'm getting green sync light on TC.
Help Please.
I'm out of warranty, I have not reset to default yet, Im not sure if I will loose my TC back up data.
please advice
Remy

The Gen4 has some nasty faults.. mostly unrepairable...
If the WAN is gone it becomes pretty well useless at least in its current role as router.
You might still be able to plug it in by ethernet to a LAN port in bridge.
Do try a full factory reset.. always worth a go.
No files will be lost on the hard disk.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Check the ethernet LED is going on.. both on the modem and the TC WAN port.
Do you have any applecare on a computer? If so it might cover the TC.. the rules are complicated but if the TC was bought within 2years before or after the computer it is covered up to max of 3years. You can still get coverage therefore if the TC is over 1 year but less than 2 years by buying applecare now on a computer or an Apple TV which is not too expensive. You can sell off the Apple TV without even opening it.. but use the applecare on it to get your TC replaced.
Only the very first Gen4 will be up to 3years.
Did you have a lightning storm or something btw?? Sometimes the modem can survive and pass the parcel to the TC which seems rather fragile.
There is also a trick to test..
You must have v5 airport utility.. any older Macs, or windows computer you can load on 5.6 utility .. even dual boot/parallels mac.
Go to the WAN setup.. and set the ethernet port to 10mbit half duplex.
Sometimes a damaged port can still manage the slowest speed.. by magic.

Bluetooth tethering no longer working - iPhone 3GS (iOS4.1) and Macbook Pro

Hi all,
I don't understand why this is not working anymore. In the past I had successfully paired & used a bluetooth tethered connection between my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.4) & my iPhone 3GS (pre 4.1). The network connection was working and I was able to surf the web/use MSN etc. This is not a feature I have used in quite some time and for some reason now it is not working. I have done several upgrades on my phone since I last used it, currently on iOS 4.1.
Lets pretend I am starting from scratch and my Macbook & iPhone do not know each other, devices have been forgotten on both.
- iPhone & Macbook both are on & discoverable
- On Macbook Pro I select "Set Up Bluetooth Device"
- Macbook scans and detects my iPhone, I select "Continue"
- Macbook connects with iPhone & displays 6 digit pin, also pairing notification is shown on iPhone with the same 6 digit pin
- I select "Continue" on Macbook & "Pair" on iPhone
- Connection is made, iPhone is now listed on Macbook and vice versa
- From bluetooth menu (on Macbook) in the iPhone device menu I select "Connect to Network". Error is displayed on Macbook "The bluetooth network is unavailable. There was a problem connecting to your device..." & on my iPhone an error "Connection Unsuccessful. Make sure iPhone is turned on and in range".
- When I try to connect from the iPhone an error is displayed "Connection Unsuccessful. iPhone is not supported" with a button to Forget Device.
What... the ****?
This has worked in the past without a hitch. Has something changed between say iOS 3.x and 4.1 that might cause this to no longer work for me.
Any protips are greatly appreciated!

Don't feel like a noob, my settings changed after the last update without warning and I was having the same issue as you until I found your post that alerted me to the fact that my internet tethering might be off!
So for others out there that are having this issue to turn tethering on go to Settings > General > Network > Internet Tethering > On
Thank you!! I had already wasted over an hour repeatedly syncing and unsyncing my darn bluetooth connection.

Bluetooth mouse no longer works

My Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 mouse no longer works after install of the latest 10.6.4 update
any reason this could be? (Also forgive the use of a microsoft mouse haha)

I had the same issue since the latest OSX upgrade. Bluetooth mouse 5000 just stopped working and couldnt be set up again.
I installed the latest Intellipoint 8 drivers from microsoft.
google microsoftmouse_d279.dmg and run it.
reboot the mac after installing.
going through the usual mouse setup in system preferences still gives you the same error so forget that. Instead, go to Bluetooth settings and add new device manually. finds the mouse and connects.
hope this helps.
BTW.. BT mouse 5000 is the best mouse i own and i have many!!! was devastated when it stopped working. Happy to be using it now again...

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!

Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!

TEmporary solution at iOS 8.3 keyboard shortcuts. Old bug reappeared.

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.

Remote Desktop Connection no longer working

Hi, I really hope someone can please help me. I just switched from Comcast to FIOS and I can no longer remote desktop to work - so I'm not getting paid until I can get it fixed.
The way that I was doing it before was to connect with a regular Microsoft VPN (I have Windows XP Professional), and then I would use Remote Desktop Connection to log into the work PC. Since I switched to FIOS it no longer works on either my laptop with wireless or my desktop which is connected to the router.
The VPN seems to be connecting OK; it says it is and it is sending/receiving a small bit of data. But when I open the the RDC and try to connect using the PC name it says that the computer cannot be found. I tried to connect to the IP address of it (after connecting through the VPN) and then it says it's found but cannot connect.
There is another location to which I log in using a Cisco VPN and then Remote Desktop - that still works just fine. Nothing at work has changed; everyone else can log in with no problems, including everyone else with FIOS.
I honestly have no ideas at all; this is not my area of expertise to say the least. If anyone could help I would REALLY appreciate it!
Thanks much!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is a new Actiontec router.
I finally got it resolved; one of my coworkers suggested checking to make sure that the IP addresses were not in conflict, and they were. So, if anyone else has this problem, what happened was that the new router was assigning IP addresses to my PC's at home in the 192.168.1.x range, which was also the server at work's IP address.
So the really dumbed down version (for people like me!) is to open a command prompt on your desktop, run ipconfig /all, and then it will tell you your internal IP address. (I was getting thrown off because the ROUTER'S IP address, which is the one you can look up online, was different). If the PC's IP is almost the same as the server IP address, then you have to change the IP range on your router to something like 192.168.114.x. There's directions if you google the router specs; I had to change it in three places on the router software; the router IP, the begin range and the end range.
Thank you, jumpin68ny, for starting to help me. Hopefully now this may help someone else!
