Bluetooth doesn't recognize other devices, Assistant slows computer

I'm trying to set up a bluetooth connection with my
LG VX8600 but I cannot get the phone or the computer
to recognize one another. I have also attempted
connecting with an LG VX8300 but was unable to get a
connection there either. The Bluetooth also seems to
lag a bit and freezes for a moment when I switch it
to "Discoverable." The Bluetooth Set-up Assistant is
also not showing up in the "Utilities" folder.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
PowerBook G4 12"
1.5Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)
I am having the exact same problem with the same model Powerbook. My phone (Samsung A900M) and my powerbook can't find each other. When I attempt to pair them I get an error message in the Bluetooth Setup Assistant. It says: "An error occurred attempting to preform the search". When I change my bluetooth preferences to allow my laptop to be discoverable it beachballs for a solid 60 or so seconds. I would love to hear anyone's ideas.

IPad3 bluetooth can not recognize other devices???

I tried many times trying to connect my IPad3 with my other devices "Samsung S3, laptop Samsung, and even other IPad3" but it keeps searching without being able to discover them through all devices are discoverable including IPad3 of course!!!
Why is this? Is there any solution?

iOS devices support the following bluetooth profiles (and only these profiles):

TS2776 when I connect my I phone to my computer, I Tunes says it doesn't recognize my device. It did just a few days ago! Help

I need help. When I connect my I phone 5 to I Tunes it doesn't load it and I get the message that It doesn't recognize this device. To unplug and try again. I have done this 5 times and always get the same message, but when I plug it in it offers the option to download my pictures. What do I do to get it to reload and Sync?

Reset the device.
Try a different cable.
Try a different USB port.
Reboot the computer.

Subsequent to Yosemite or updates, my repeating calendar events can not be updated as before. When I update an event (of the repeating event) on my MacBook Pro; its reverts back when I shut it down and come back, and doesn't update other devices?

Subsequent to Yosemite or updates, my repeating calendar events can not be updated as before. When I update an event (of a repeating event) on my MacBook Pro; its reverts back when I shut it down and come back, and doesn't update other devices?
Has anyone experienced this and does anyone know a fix?

This is incredibly frustrating for me too!
I have a repeated monthly event for a discount at a store that is offered on the first Tuesday of every month. So I have a repeated event taking place on the 1st of every month. In the previous month I reset next month's date from the 1st to whatever date falls on the first Tuesday.
But ever since upgrading to Yosemite, I am experiencing the same problem as the original person who posted. The date saves on my calendar but does not sync to my iCloud. When I reboot the computer, the date reverts back to the 1st.
I'm thankful I don't have any events that needed to be tracked because ALL of my previous changes in the past have reverted back to the 1st of the month. I would have been in the same terrible situation as yaz999 in having to manually change every event in previous months.
Why hasn't this bug been fixed yet???!!!

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.

Macbook Pro 15" USB PORT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE ANY DEVICE.

I got my macbook pro 15" for about 1 year and 2 weeks ago, when I turned on my macbook and put my mouse ( Death Adder) into the USB PORT, my macbook DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT. There are 2 usb ports on my macbook, I tried both port and there was only one port work correctly, the other one didn't work at all, I also tried to put my memory stick, external hard drive, vodafone 3g usb, ipod,....into that USB PORT but non of them worked. Is there any one here have the same problem???? Can you guy help me please. I stay quite far away from Apple Store so it is hard to bring it to repair. I tried to reset SMC, Update Software,...but still not work...HELP ME PLEASE...

I can't fault your troubleshooting. Sounds like a bad port.
Home remedies are limited. You can grab a magnifier and shine a flashlight in there. If you see any foreign material, use a toothpick or other non-conductive tool to extract it. If you can, give it a good blast of (dry, canned) compressed air to blow any particles loose.
Sometimes you can trick a flaky USB port into working at least intermittently by plugging in an extension cable or right-angle connector. Play with a device that lights up so it's easy to see whether it's working.
Take a hard look inside the connectors at the end of your Death Adder and other frequently-used devices. If you see any corrosion or bent pins, that's what damaged your USB port.
If the port requires physical repair, it's best to use Apple or an authorized dealer because if they make things worse while trying to fix it, they have to make it right. Joe's Appliance isn't similarly accountable.
If you need more USB ports, ExpressCard to USB adapters are dirt cheap.
Good luck.

Since updating to iOS 8.1 my Bluetooth doesn't detect any devices

Since updating to iOS 8.1 my Bluetooth doesn't detect any devices

Good Morning Denise -
Sorry to hear you are having issues connecting to your Wi-Fi network. I'll include a few more things that you can try to troubleshoot this below. The first thing that I'm wondering is if you cannot connect to your Wi-Fi at home -- are you able to connect to a different Wi-Fi network (at work, a local coffee shop, etc.)? That would be one of the first things to try.
Turning the modem and router in your house of and then on is also a common step as it "reinitializes" everything. Hopefully, one of the steps below will help you with this.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204051
Restart.
For more help, try restarting your device, router, or cable/DSL modem. After each step, check to see if you fixed the issue.
• Restart your iOS device.
• Unplug your router and plug it back in.
• Unplug your cable or DSL modem and plug it back in.
Still can’t connect?
Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.
Get more help
Try connecting to a Wi-Fi network in a different location. If your device can connect, you’ll need to get help with your Wi-Fi network. If it can’t connect to any Wi-Fi networks, contact Apple.

I installed the upgrade and now itunes can't find my library and doesn't recognize my devices. Using Windows 7. Any help?

Help!!! I installed the 10.5 update and now itunes can't find my library or recognize my devices. Running on Windows 7.

For moving your iTunes library, I recommend this method...
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

IMac doesn't recognize input devices after going to asleep, must reboot

Quite often, my iMac doesn't respond when I attempt to "wake" it using keyboard or mouse. The only way to wake the iMac is to tap the power button. However, when it wakes the mouse cursor is a spinning color wheel and the system does not recognize any input from the keyboard or mouse. I can leave it sitting for quite some time and it still will not recognize my input devices. When this happens I must hold the power button to reboot.
This has been happening for a quite a while now, and it is highly annoying. I can't remember if this was happening before my screen was replaced by Apple a few months ago. It definitely did not happen before upgrading to Lion.
I am hoping you guys can help, otherwise I suppose I will be calling Apple and see if they can figure it out. I am tired of this!
Thanks,
Robyn

I'm having a similar issue. I put my screen to sleep before I go to bed, next day, the computer is frozen, but still on since I can detect heat from the top vent.
I've checked memory for any errors (5 hours of testing) and removed any system extensions. Still gets frozen.
I did attach an old USB mouse just to wake it up when it loses connection to the wirless bluetooth devices. I've been able to wake it up from this condition a few times.
I will keep investigating. My iMac is 1 month old, 27" i5 quad core.

Bluetooth doesn't recognize bluetooth mouse

Tried to follow instructions to have the Bluetooth in the laptop recognize the new Gearhead Bluetooth mouse. Computer can't find the mouse. The instruction said to:
1) Turn Bluetooth on.
2) Setup Bluetooth Device.
3) Bluetooth Setup Assistant
Nothing appears in the dialog box so I can't "continue". The powe switch has been turned on as well as the Bluetooth dongle. What else do I need to do so that the computer can find the mouse?

You need to make sure Bluetooth is on both the computer and the mouse.
You need to make sure the mouse is set to Discoverable mode.
(How to do this will be included in the instructions with the mouse.)
