Bluetooth Disabled After Updates

I have the 8gb iPhone and I'm using it with the Apple bluetooth headset. Each time a new update comes out it disables my bluetooth functions on the phone. I go to the settings, general, bluetooth.
After an iphone update is installed I go to re-enable bluetooth and all it does is display the spinning circle. It will spin like this for as long as you like trying to enable bluetooth.
I've docked the freshly updated iphone with the apple headset to get it to auto pair (since bluetooth wont enable I can't manually pair) and all it will do is charge the iphone and headset. it wont pair or activate bluetooth.
I've tried to restore then load my old settings but that doesn't work. It still won't activate bluetooth.
The only way to get bluetooth working again after an update is to do a restore then treat the phone as a brand new iphone. I can not load any of my old preferences. I have to go through the menus and redo all my sync settins and phone settings This is a pain and seems to be the only way to get bluetooth working again.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
(btw, I really like the apple headset. Fits in my ear great and I've had no complaints from people on the other end of the call. Only issue is the phone needs to be closer than 3ft to the phone to get best listening quality)

Mellimelvin,
When you go to Settings -> General -> About, is there a Bluetooth address showing?
If not, try restoring the iPhone and setting it up as new. If it still isn't showing your iPhone will need to be serviced.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

My ipad is locked and disabled after updating to iso 7. I never had a password on it.

Even though you never had a passcode enabled, try the help here > iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

Ipad disabled after updating to ios 8

I updated my ipad 2 to ios 8 and it asked for a password, I never had a lock on this device, I guessed the same one I have on my iPhone but that didn't work, now it is completely disabled. I don't have iTunes and never plugged this iPad into a computer.
Everything is pointing now to losing all my data, but I cannot!! there are pictures of my best friend that passed away in January, I cannot lose those! I see lots of people are having this problem PLEASE help me get my pictures. They are very dear to me.

MeganTD,
I completely understand how you feel. This has happened to me as well when I updated to IOS 8 when it first came out and now I can't get into my Ipad. The difference is that I actually had a passcode on it and just typed it in just like the million other times I did and it says that the passcode was "wrong." I thought it was just a mistake so I did it again and it said it was "wrong again, please try in 15 minutes." This went on for about a day and when I tried to login again with the passcode it completely locked me out to where it says to "connect to itunes" which I did but the Ipad doesn't show up unless I put it into recovery mode, which doesn't help either because I don't want to restore my Ipad until I back it up first.
I even took it to the apple store to the genius bar and explained my situation and they couldn't even help me, saying that unless you have a backup on your computer there is no way to recover your data on your ipad before restoring it. I thought that was completely ridiculous that it wasn't my fault that the Ipad is disabled after updating to IOS 8 and that there is absolutely NO WAY of recovering your data. I even asked if there was 3rd party software that could backup the ipad before recovering and they couldn't give me that information either.
I have been looking all around the internet for a solution but to no avail. I hope there is some information out there that can help us because there has to be SOME WAY that you can get into your ipad and backup without having to rely just on itunes and icloud.

I have a problem in the Bluetooth headset after updating iOS 7

I have a problem in the Bluetooth headset after updating iOS 7

Hi,
have a similar problem here. More specifically, I am using a Plantronics Voyager Legend (brand new) with my Iphone5 (iOS 7.0.2). All apps are working great with the headset, e.g., listening to music, normal phone calls, etc. No sound distortion at all.
When I use Skype (most recent version, which is 4.12.258) the sound is very distorted, like scattered. I also successfully used the same headset with a Samsung Galaxy S3 and Skype. No problems. So, I suspect that it must be the combination of Iphone/iOS7 and Skype which messes up the sound.
Does anybody else have the same problem when using that combination of devices and apps?
Best,
Kurt

Bluetooth problem after update to lollipop

Hi,I've recently updated my 6503 to Lollipop.Everything went smoothly and is working fine, except 2 issues - one solved, second NOT. FIRST (solved) - phone after update waked up and logged to 2G network, with no data transmission (despite it was turned ON). What was strange - my operator's network appeared in 'available network list' as separate 3 NETWORKS ( 2g, 3g and LTE) Switching manually to LTE solved it - now phone is switching between technologies automatically, data transmission is working fine. SECOND AND NOT SOLVED: I'm using the hands-free system built in my car ( mitsubishi lancer, 2008 ) . After update, phone failed to establish connection with it, even hands-free system remained as 'associated device'. OK ... I erased hands-free system from phone, as well as phone from car's memory. Paired devices again - starting procedure from car's side. Nothing better. Erased and paired starting from phone side. Nothing better.What I've observed more: phone after try to establish connection , phone in eye blink looses it. On list of available services of hands-free system (in phone menu ofc) , only 'phone sound' appears, while -as I remember but i'm not sure- before update more (2 or 3) services were detected . PLEASE HEEELP !

Re: Bluetooth problem after update to lollipop As above post, I am also experiencing problems with bluetooth on my Z2:- Phone connection is OK if Bluetooth is turned on the phone for " car is ready". Then I can make and receive calls.
- Playing music on bluetooth does not work after Lollipop 5.0.2 update on my car head unit. Previously connected and able to stream music on 4.4.4 Kit Kat with no issues, looking on web this is not a new issue with Bluetooth connection issues to devices since Lollipop came out so what the **bleep** is going on? I purposely bought a Sony TV, Car Head Unit and Soundbar to ensure everything worked together now the head unit that I only had fiitted in February does not connect which cost me £249!!! No issues connecting to TV or Soundbar but on HU it tries to connect then disconnects and BT Audio Icon on HU display greys out although phone is connected and icon highlighted as connected. I have cleared cache, unpaired and paired again, reinstalled 5.0.2 again through wifi instead of OTA but still the same. Car device: Sony XAV-602BTAndroid version 5.0.2Version: 23.1.A.0.726

Bluetooth disappeared after updating windows 10

hey! i hade problem in my laptop after updating my windows , the bluetooth suddenly disappeared i cant find it anywhere ,i tried to update drivers and install them again but nothing happened.

Did this have bluetooth to begin with? If so then you need to revert back to the previous O/S and verify for us it had bluetooth to start with?

Bluetooth authorization after update anna

After update to Symbian anna i always get the question to make an authorization of my bluetooth-connection when connecting to the PC via OVI-Suite. The PCist already markt as authenticated, in spite of: he always ask to authenticate every time i make the connection.
thanks, Gottfried

I deleted the bluetooth-connection on my C7 and made a new one. I had still the the question to acknowledge the connction. Suddenly, after a view days, the question did not appear when starting the OVI-Suite. Nothing i changed, and it functioned (i thought).
But my happiness is gone, because the sync-process via bluetooth do not function properly (with the USB-cable it goes). The connection via bluetooth seems to be good, but new or changed entries in the calender are not synchonized. So after deleting the bt-conneciton again on my C7, the question to acknowledge is back, so i still have the problem.

Submit button in Compressor disabled after update Pro Applications Update 2010-02

Dear all,
I recently bought FCS and the whole software works fine after installation. However, I had to use Compressor over the last couple of days and the submit button was completely disabled and in the cluster field the option this computer had dissapeard. I checked this forum for a solution and found it. It seems that the problem was Qmaster. After reinstalling both Qmaster and Compressor everything works again. I have use the following set of instructions:
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/how_to_reinstall_compressor_and_qmast er.html
The problem is that now each time I do a software update, I am asked to install the Pro Applications Update 2010-02. After installing this update, the problem occurs again (the submit button is grayed/greyed out). It seems that in my computer the update creates a problem.
Does anyone have the same issue and if so, what suggestion you recommend?. At the moment I am avoiding the update, but I may me missing important bug and other fixes.
Thanks a lot,
Oliver

I have experimented a bit and got the problem sorted. Iuninstalled FCS using the uninstaller from http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/.Before installing the whole suite again, I realised there was and additionalApple Qmaster package in the Applications folder. I deleted this file and emptythe trash. Then did a fresh installation of FCS, performed an update andinstalled Pro Applications Update 2010-02.
And now all is up and running workingperfectly.

Recovery Partition Missing and Bluetooth Issues After Update

After upgrading to 10.9.3 my recovery partition is gone and my bluetooth will pair with a new device, connect, and then disconnect. After that I am not able to reconnect the new bluetooth device. I can see it, but can't connect to it. I have tried multiple bluetooth devices, and they all do the same thing. I am really baffled about the missing recovery partition. Any ideas?

I still don't know what happened to my test Aperture Library after the update to 3.4...Not only were my previews lost, but so were the original images! Needless to say, I haven't bothered to update the main library on the Mac Pro because I don't want to deal with this level of uncertainty (even with backups in place).

Mighty Mouse bluetooth disable after computer shuts down

I looked for a solution on the forum and could not find it yet. I have a Mighty mouse connected to my G5 Mac tower for almost a year and never had a problem. Now since last week, every time I shutdown the computer it disables the bluetooth hardware. Then when I turn on my computer, my wireless bluetooth mighty mouse does not work any more. I then need to connect the old wired mouse go back to system preference, go to the mouse keyboard section and select and re-program the wireless mouse. At that moment it gives me a message that the bluetooth hardware is off and ask me if I want to turn it on. When I say yes, turn bluetooth hardware on, then the mighty mouse starts working again until I shutdown or restart the computer. Just as an additional piece of information, my G5 Mac tower is a three year old that did not come with the integrated bluetooth technology. I had been using for a year a D-Link DBT-120 USB bluetooth device. As I said, never had a problem until last week. Does anyone has any idea what could had changed on my computer?
Thanks.

Hello again:
The reason I asked about changes is that an update "may" have affected the external BT dongle in some way. Both my iMacs have built-in Bluetooth capability, so I am very little help with third party dongles.
You could reset the PRAM to see if that helps:

Bluetooth problem after update last ics .587 mini pro!

sony what happened with your last update?after i update to ics with pc companion when i turn on bluetooth my phone restart boot after xperia logo restart again to sony logo, again and again... please fix that last update.

Thanks for posting and welcome to the forum!Hmm, that's a problem I've never heard of I must admit. Have you tried to run the phone in safe mode to see if it keeps appearing then?You can start it in safe mode by turning the phone off and then press and hold the on/off-key and at the same time continuously tap the menu key (the one to the right below the screen with the for lines). It might take a couple of tries before you succeed with getting the phone into safe mode, so have patience. What do you think about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.
