Bluetooth driver won't work on my Satellite Pro 6100

Hello
My Bluetooth stopped working after some updates (I forget what they were!). I have attempted many times to reinstall the BT driver from Toshiba but it just "stops" part of the way through the install - I have left it for well over 30 minutes at this point.
I have looked in the system/hardware/other devices and there is something called SiW, I'm assuming this is the BT device as I can't find anything labelled Bluetooth. I should point out that Bluetooth did work before and nothing has been removed from the computer!
Anybody any ideas/solutions to this problem?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi
Its not easy to say what why you cannot install Bluetooth driver.
I would recommend to reinstall the Toshiba Bluetooth completely form the OS.
Be sure that MS Bluetooth was also removed
Then reboot the unit and try to install the Toshiba Bluetooth stack again.

  • My External Hard Drive Won't Work With Final Cut Pro

    Hi everyone! I occasionally use my external HDD for Fianl Cut projects, but only when I'm done editing it. While I'm editing the project, I keep it on my SSD. My external HDD has 3 partitions, one for storage, one formatted for windows storage, and the last one is a Mountain Lion Recovery. When I plug in my external HDD and start FCPX, only the recovery partition shows up.. Any ideas? My pimary hard drive storage with the projects is case sensitive, but the recovery is not.. Thanks!
    Btw, I blurred the video and took out the names to protect privacy. As you can see, my internal SSD and one partition on my external show up, but the "1TB HDD" partition does not.

    I connect my bus-powered HDs (more than one) to the iMac all the time without any problems. I have found, though, that for me the FireWire enclosures work much better (faster and more stable) than the USB2 ones. I have had the USB2 drives freeze my computer once or twice when I connected the HD, but nothing like that has ever happened with the FireWire connections. (I switched the same disk from USB to a FireWire enclosure, so all other elements were kept constant in my experiments.)
    One of my HD is in a MacAlly 2.5" enclosure that offers both FireWire and USB2. The other one is in some generic enclosure with only USB2. Both are bus-powered and both work fine.

    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

    If anyone has a solution for this stupid problem that would be great.
    Thanks

    Yes, I suspect that it's the virtual drive emulator software you have there. I know nothing about that software and it doesn't look like the Roxio support page even mentions it, so it's probably software old enough that they're not supporting it anymore.
    To uninstall any software, I would start with the "Add and Remove Programs" Control Panel. Uninstall it there, and then use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility —
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301
    Download and install that. Run it and find the drive emulator software on the list and remove it there. And reboot and see if that has successfully removed it.
    There is a work around that if we just remove the iTunes CD driver, you'll probably get your drive back, but you'll only be able to rip CDs, you won't be able to burn them without the iTunes CD driver installed. You do have some Pinnacle CD burning software installed. Are you currently using that or is that leftover cruft as well?

  • External dvd drive won't work on USB macBook air

    External dvd drive won't work on my macBook air usb port.  It works on older versions of air and iMac.
    Any ideas.  Tried the left shift, control, option and power button sumultaniously, but did not work.

    I know that no one has replied yet, but figured out the issue.  I called Applecare and they couldn't figure it out, so sent me to a genuis at the Apple store.  They too couldn't figure it out and told me that it was a firmware issue with the Toshiba dvd external drive.  When I got home, I thought I would try one more thing.  I hooked it up to a powered hub and it works perfectly.  I'm not sure why no one else thought of it, but glad that I did.

  • I have a G5 with Tiger to sell and want to erase all my data from it, but the cd drive won't work so I can't use the OS10 start up disk. Answers?

    I have a G5 to sell and want to erase all my data from it, but the cd drive won't work so I can't use the OS10 start up disk. Any way to do it?

    Do you have another Mac? If so, you can startup this one in "Target Disk Mode" (instructions here) and connect it to another Mac to delete the home folders (or the entire drive, if that's what you want).
    One piece of advise, though: after deleting the data, and of course emptying the Trash, it wouldn't hurt to also securely erase the "free space" of the drive (instructions here) before disconnecting the old Mac from the new one. This can be helpful, since "deleted" data is often retrievable with ease unles it's written over after the deletion.

  • So, now my CD/DVD drive won't work

    I made the BIG mistake of upgrading to LION last week.   Up until that moment, EVERYTHING was working fine on my MAC.   I downloaded the software just fine but when I went to install it I received a message saying my hard drive was full.   I'm sure that I had plenty of room left and would have thought that if it was full I would have received that message PRIOR to the download.   Nevertheless, I tried it again.  This time I received a message saying that there was something wrong with my hard drive and it needed repairing.   I did the verification and tried to do the repair but it wouldn't work.
    Made an appointment with the Apple Store, (at least I live near a store), and they went through all the diagnostics and said, "There is nothing wrong with your hard drive yet we are unable to install the upgrade ... meaning that my computer will not function.  I had to buy a new hard drive and have them install LION on it.   Before I left the store I told the tech guy that I'd like to turn it on to make sure it would work ... guess what ... it wouldn't.   "I can't understand it", he said, "It was working just fine a few minutes ago."   I had him try it a few more times and then he advised me that they'd have to do it again and for me to come back (again).  
    So, now I have a new hard drive and a new operating system ... but I had to pay for it in cash, frustration, time, and lost data (my email archive mostly) ... BUT ... now my CD/DVD drive won't work.   I've had to reload software with an external drive.  
    What the **** ????
    Anyone with some thoughts on this?
    (Plus I've had to create a new MAC ID?   Why won't it accept my old account ID?)

    Thank you again ... I wasn't aware of that bit of information.  
    I've never used Toast before but have heard of it.  I just went to their website and watched a quick video.  I'm a tad confused though ... is Toast able to rip movie DVD's before burning a copy?   I used to have some software that could do this but, of course, it's now gone with my new hard drive.

  • PB 1400 CD & Floppy Drive won't work

    We gave our granddaughter my wife's Powerbook 1400CS which she used for about 6 months. She brought it back because the CD and floppy drives will no longer work. Even if I open the drive with a paperclip and insert a CD it will not be recognized – same for a floppy. I got a serial cable and in target mode did a clean install of 8.6 but still the drives won't work. Does anyone know why?

    Larry
    The HDD in the PB 1400 is ATA Bus 0, and the CD-ROM is ATA Bus 4. (See ASP/Devices.) The FDD is well, the floppy drive. It is at least worth while for you to check that it is not drive faults that you are dealing with, but some other, since mass but selective failure of the buses seems unlikely.
    If the PB's AC adapter is functional, it may still happen that the 'backup' battery (or batteries if it is an 'extended' 1400) has not recovered from depletion at some recent time. PRAM and Power Manager may be feeling poorly enough not to remember what they should and what is where. If you boot the PB, and then remove first the AC adapter and then the main battery, you should get up to 2min of remaining life from a good backup battery. If you get instant shutdown, you can fairly guess that the backup didn't. The backup(s) begin to charge only when the main is fully charged. What is the state of charge of the main in the Control Strip? If it shows full, leave the PB on the adapter for 24-48hr to make sure of the charge on the backup. Otherwise, set the main to charge (with the PB off), and add 24-48hr more after the main shows full charge.
    Then start up with a traditional PRAM-zap. The PB will shut down in response, and can be restarted with the reset switch between the serial and ADB ports. Then you can validly sleep-swap the CD-ROM and FDD to check their function. Is it possible that they have been swapped while the PB was not off or asleep?
    System installation in target disk mode via the HDI-30 port does not work because PB-specific software does not get installed. It is conceivable that a serial port installation will also not work, again because the PB is not identified to the host machine as a PB.

    whats the format on the external HD?
    verify same on another Mac, its likely a dead SATA card inside the external enclosure.
    One assumes you arent referring to a 2012 Air with a Toshiba SSD, since the Air contains no hard drives, only a SSD.
    2013 Air use Sandisk or Samsung SSD.

  • Satellite Pro 6100: Can't enter BIOS and won't boot up

    I've got a Satellite pro 6100 notebook, en I was trying to make it boot from an external USB HD. When I enabled the second hard disk option in the BIOS it stopped booting all together en I can't even enter the BIOS Setup anymore. All I get is the "TOSHIBA in touch with tomorrow" screen with the icons to select the preferred boot method manually after that it's just blank screen with a blinking cursor in the top left corner.
    Holding down the ESC or F8 key before powering on usually results in fast beeping sounds.
    Holding the tilde (~) key before powering on results in the screen remaining blank (not even the toshiba splash screen appears) and slow beepings sounds.
    Appart from that I can't really make her do anything at all.
    I tried resetting the BIOS by disconnecting the CMOS/RTC battery (hoewever it's called) from the motherboard for a while, with no results.
    Powering on without the internal HD results in a blank screen with an "IDE #0 ERROR".
    I can always shutdown by holding down the power button, don't bother about the external HD, it gone I don't even want that to work anymore.
    Suggestions?

    Thanks for helping me out,
    With this laptop I only use both hard disks internally (not both at the same time ofcourse). As long as I can't boot normally or can't get into the BIOS I won't bother using USB.
    About USB Booting: I believe the newest BIOS have USB booting built-in, and you can specify it in the boot order menu, or so I read. My BIOS is obviously not able to do this.
    Back to the problem: what CAN I do in this situation:
    ESC to get into the BIOS :: doesn't work
    F8 to specify boot order :: doesn't work
    Holding down the tilde (~) key before power-up :: beeping, this is the BIOS update mode right?
    I found this thread:
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1402&tstart=306
    Sounds familiar.
    So I guess I'll try a BIOS update, I found information about that on the Toshiba site, the only problem is that I don't have a floppy disk drive, but it should be possible with a CD too, any suggestions are welcome.
    And could anybody tell me something about that resume mode (if you think that's relevant).
    Thanks.

  • Can't see new hard drive on my Satellite Pro 6100

    I have bought a new Toshiba 40GB hard drive for my Satellite Pro 6100.
    I have installed it in it's bay but it is not being recognised in the BIOS or when i try to reinstall using the recovery disc!
    Would the bios recognise that there is a drive even if it is not formatted?
    Am missing something?
    Thanks in advance
    Neil

    It should work !
    The drive also should be recognized even it is not formatted...
    3 things you can do:
    At boot up you can go into bootmenu and check if the drive is being recognized on the 1st controller.
    If not check configuration of the drive (master/slave/cable select).
    If this does not help check toshiba support website and download the latest bios (probably you already have it, check like mentioned above)
    If this does not work your new drive (or worse: your controller) could be faulty. If the orignal drive still works on your laptop, check the 40gb drive in another laptop or PC with adapter to normal ATA-connection.

  • CanoScan 9000F scanner won't work on my MacBook Pro even though it should be compatible with the Mac 10.7.2 OS.

    My new CanoScan 900F scanner won't work on my MacBook Pro even though I've followed all instructions to make it compatible with the 10.7.2 OS. The USB connection isn't recognised. What else con I do?

    I have a similar problem with a new CanoScan 9000F which I tried to use without any success on my desktop computer (Mac Pro 5,1) and laptop (Macbook Pro 1,2) both running OS 10.6. Problem is identical on both, viz:
        •    Scanning process appears to start, a message comes on the screen: Scanning do not open document cover followed by Scanning...
        •    This is then replaced by the message: Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed. 2.155.33
    I've spent several hours on the phone with Canon support but having uninstalled/installed/reinstalled/updated/turned on/turned off/unplugged/plugged/restarted innumerable times, the problem is exactly the same. The scanner icon shows up in the Printer & Fax System Prefs (though without the little status lights) and shows as being connected in the USB tree. I think it's a problem with the scanner, Canon bods are suggesting the Macs are at fault and suggest I try connecting to a wintel (hawk, spit) and it's 100km to the nearest Canon service centre.
    Any suggestions as to what might be the problem/s and what I might be able to do to fix it/them?
    Thanks.
    By the way, bought the Canon to replace a HP Scanjet 8300 which I've used for 6 years almost without problems. Any that I have had have been fixed merely by turning the scanner off then on after a 10 second rest.

  • Satellite Pro 6100: Fn keys not working

    Hello,
    Ive got a Satellite Pro 6100 notebook. Im having trouble using the secondary function keys (im not sure what they're called!). When I press the function (Fn) button, the light below the F10 button come on as it should, but when i press any of the F buttons i.e brightness up/down, nothing works!
    I had a quick look at some of the keyboard help and troubleshooter in control panel which suggested the driver may be incorrect so i tried looking for an updated driver, but windows said i have the latest driver.
    Does anybody else have this problem with the SP6100? Can it be fixed? If so how?!
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks - Kavi.

    Hi
    Even the Windows said you use the latest drivers, you should reinstall the drivers.
    Firstly remove the Hotkey Utility Emulator for Display Devices from Add & remove programs.
    The reinstall the common modules and Hotkey Utility Emulator for Display Devices.
    Hope it helps pleas let us known if it will work or not
