Use BT driver from vendor's device support page. (Unfortunately you have not give any specific data about computer model. If this is USB BT, use drivers for USB device or for home made computer with BT on board use driver from motherboard vendor support
page.)

How to set iphone 5 bluetooth on windows 7 64 bit in notebook Toshiba

you can tell me how to set iphone 5 bluetooth on windows 7 64 bit in notebook toshiba qosmio f750

Unless you're trying to tether your Internet connection from the phone to the computer, you don't. That is not a feature of the iPhone.

Bluetooth with Windows 7

I've just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7, 64 bit. With XP I was able to use Bluetooth to sync my 8900 to Outlook. When I connected the phone via Bluetooth to Windows 7 there were a couple of drivers that didn't install correctly and no solution was found. The phone is communicating with the computer, but won't sync.
Can anyone confirm that Windows 7, 64 bit is compabible with the 8900 for Bluetooth? USB sync works ok.

New Contributor,
Windows 7 64-bit is compatible with the Blackberry 8900 for BT but additional drivers must be installed. You may need to check directly with blackberry for the additional software.
For additional assistance and feedback, Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://tinyurl.com/9fhdl5 . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams.
Also you may want to refer to the Windows 7 compatibility center for futher questions regarding compatibility. This is available here: http://bit.ly/1gW6Ns

How do I activate Bluetooth in Windows 8?

I have an Envy 4-1130us ultrabook that is really nice, but I can't get my bluetooth to work. It did work for about a week, but somehow is now failing. I attempted to go into pc settings > wireless and turn the bluetooth to "on" but it is not allowing this. I have also tried using f12, but it is only activating the wi fi. FYI - I was using the bluetooth for a wireless mouse. Anything else I might try?

Hello,
I see that you're having an issue activating the Bluetooth on your notebook. I noticed you have already done a couple of steps to try and resolve this issue.
I will list a couple of steps for you to follow, let me know if this resolves your issue.
1.     Press the Windows  + W key.
2.     Type Bluetooth into the Search field.
Figure 20: Searching for Bluetooth
Click Change Bluetooth settings from the list of results.
Click the box next to Show the Bluetooth icon in the notification area , and then click Apply .
Figure 21: Showing the Bluetooth icon in the notification area
The Bluetooth icon  displays in the notification area in the lower right.
Double-click the Bluetooth icon  to access common tasks for Bluetooth devices.
Figure 22: Bluetooth menu
Tips for finding a Bluetooth deviceIf Windows cannot detect the Bluetooth device, check the following items:
Make sure that wireless communication is turned on (Notebook computers only)
Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on and set to be discoverable on the device. When a device is set to be discoverable, it uses radio signals to broadcast its location to other Bluetooth devices and computers.
A device such as a wireless mouse or a keyboard, might have a button on it that you need to push.
A device such as a Bluetooth mobile phone, might have a setting in the menu that you need to select to turn on Bluetooth so the device can be discovered.
NOTE:If you do not know how to set your device to be discoverable, check the information that came with your device or go to the manufacturer’s website.
A device such as computer might need to have the Discovery setting turned on. To turn on Discovery in Windows 8, press the Windows  + W key.
Type bluetooth into the Search field.
Figure 25: Searching for bluetooth
Click Change Bluetooth settings from the list of results.
The Bluetooth Settings window displays.
In the Discovery area on the Options tab, click Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer .
Figure 26: Making the Bluetooth device discoverable
Also, here are a couple of tips you can consider using while trying to activate the bluetooth.
Make sure the device is turned on, is not low on battery power, and is not in sleep mode.
Make sure the device is within wireless range of your computer, usually within six to nine feet. If you are not sure if the device is in range, move it closer to your computer, or put the device and computer in the same room.
Make sure there are no other devices interfering with the wireless device, such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, or other wireless devices.
If your computer uses an external Bluetooth adapter, make sure the adapter is attached and installed, and is working correctly.
If Bluetooth is integrated in your computer, especially a notebook computer, make sure the Bluetooth radio transmitter is turned on because many notebook computers have a button to turn the transmitter on and off. If you are not sure how to turn it on, check the information that came with your computer or go to the manufacturer's website.
If you have any more questions please let me know.

HP ENVY Phoenix 810-270st CTO Desktop -Bluetooth and Windows 8.1

I recently purchased a Phoenix 810 with Integrated Bluetooth 4.0 and Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac featuring Dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) 2 x 2 MIMO technology. when I purchased the system I used the Bluetooth to connect to external bluetooth speakers with windows 8.1. I could easily see this menu option in my network option in the control panel. Recently I tried to use the speakers but could not however they show in my system devices. I also tried to add new and discovered thar Windows is not longer showing anything with Bluetooth in the control panel.
I have downloaded latest drivers but Windows still does not recognize bluetooth in the control panel anywhere. Any idea why I could setup and pare bluetooth deviced and now I can't?

Hi,
I am running Windows 8.1 with Bluetooth and Bluetooth does not show in the Control Panel. Look for the Bluetooth icon on the task bar. See the below image.
Once you pair up and acknowledge the passcode on both devices this the following screen should appear (example).

Bluetooth in Windows 8.1 Pro Boot Camp

Okay, so I've searched all over the place and found no actual solutions to my problem. There are several forums that ask this question, but then they just kind of trail off...
Here's my issue:
I have a new MBP (non-retina) and I am running Windows 8.1 Pro with Boot Camp. (Yosemite on OSX side)
I am trying to use my internal bluetooth chipset (Broadcom 20702A3) to set up a serial connection with a very simple bluetooth device that talks to an arduino. The bluetooth module is a pretty common one -- the JY-MCU. I know that it will work on my hardware because it works beautifully when I run OSX. Then I boot into Windows, and it goes kaput. Open PC Settings > PC and Devices > Bluetooth, and it will appear. I can pair with it by entering the correct code, and all looks good: the progress bar goes across, then it says "connected." Then a few seconds later, it says "paired" instead of connected. That basically means that it COULD talk to it because it knows the passcode, but it doesn't see it anymore. That's what happens when i turn off my bluetooth mouse: it says "paired" but not "connected." Turn the mouse back on, it says "connected" again. There is nothing that I can do to make the bluetooth module say "connected" again, though, short of clicking "remove device" and repeating the process. I tried BlueSoleil, but a similar thing happened (I can give more specifics, if it would help anyone familiar with BlueSoleil), and the software seemed pretty sketchy to me, so I uninstalled it. I've also tried re-downloading and reinstalling the Boot Camp drivers, but no change. I tried installing Broadcom drivers, but no luck there either -- the installer stalls because it can't find the hardware. The Broadcom driver issue has been discussed by other people trying to do similar things, but it seems that no one has been able to make anything work at all on a Mac except BlueSoleil and the Boot Camp drivers. Oh, and one other thing I tried: enabling bluetooth collaboration (Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter > Advanced > Bluetooth Collaboraion > Enable) worked for some people who wanted to have two bluetooth devices going at the same time, but made no difference for me.
So, any ideas? I think what I'm looking for is a better driver (although I've searched all over) or a less sketchy, more reliable bluetooth manager than BlueSoleil. At this point, though, anything's worth a try, so long as it's not malware. I really would like to be able to make this work. My next try will be to buy a bluetooth dongle, and use whatever drivers come with that, but that's pretty inelegant, especially since I only have two USB ports.
Let me know if any more specifics would be helpful.
Thank you in advance,
-Rowan

COMPLETE SOLUTION
This solution will get Arduino bluetooth communication up and running on a MacBook Pro that has been Boot Camp-ed into Windows 8.1.
1. Use standard Boot Camp bluetooth drivers
2. Download PuTTY
3. Connect bluetooth module to Arduino.
    I used a cheap JY-MCU bluetooth module
    I used SoftwareSerial, but if you want, you can probably use HardwareSerial, although you might have to disconnect the BT module to upload sketches.
    Whatever you do, remember to connect Tx to Rx and Rx to Tx.
4. Upload this sketch to your Arduino (using a USB cord) to check serial communication (unplug the cord when you're done):
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial BTBoard(2,3); //Rx, Tx
char val = 0;
char current;
int ind = 13; //LED on pin 13
void setup(){
BTBoard.begin(9600); //This must be set to baud rate of your BT module
pinMode(ind, OUTPUT);
void loop(){
while(BTBoard.available()){
    current = BTBoard.read();
    if((current != '\r') && (current != '\n')){ //PuTTY sends a carriage return (\r) and a newline character (\n) every time you press enter
      val = current;
      BTBoard.write("val is currently ");
      BTBoard.write(val);
      BTBoard.write("\r\n"); //These lines echo back the value that is stored
      if(val == '1')
        digitalWrite(ind, HIGH); //turn on the LED
      if(val == '0')
        digitalWrite(ind, LOW); //turn off the LED
delay(10);
5. Connect your bluetooth module to your computer:
     Power up the BT module
     Open PC Settings > PC and Devices > Bluetooth
     Wait for your BT module to appear, when it does, pair with it.
     You may need to enter a passcode: try 1234 or 0000
     It may say "Connected" or just "Paired," but it doesn't really matter as long as it says one or the other
     Close Settings
     Go to the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar
     Right click on it, an click "Open Settings" (if you don't have the BT icon in your taskbar, there is probably another way to get to these settings)
     Click the "COM Ports" tab
     Take note of the name of your outgoing port (mine was COM3)
6. Start PuTTY
     Set up PuTTY as indicated by this site
     Make sure that the baud rate is the same as the baud rate of your BT module, and the same as the baud rate in the sketch above
     Make sure that the COM port is the one that you found in the last step
     You might want to save your session so you don't have to change the settings in the future
     Click "Open"!
Now when you type a 1 into PuTTY and hit enter, it should echo back "Val is currently 1" and the LED should turn on. The opposite happens when you type a 0.
If you need to restart PuTTY, unplug the BT module, wait a few seconds, plug it back in, and start PuTTY again, using your saved session. You shouldn't need to re-pair the BT module with your computer.
I hope that this helps someone out. I might post it on the Arduino forum too.

Fixing bluetooth in windows 8.1 and changing the way windows update works

Hello, this is a message for Microsoft, can you please fix the Bluetooth in the setting in Windows 8.1. Because I can not connect my devices on it to play music. Also, my second suggestion would be for Windows update. First of all,
Windows tells me that it will install update automatically but It's not true. Everyday I check to see if there is an update on the pc. So change the way windows update works because It is a bit confusing. In other words, try to do like windows 7 if you
can, or if not It is not a big deal. But a least try to have a solution for this issue and the Bluetooth also.
Thank you.

How do I turn on bluetooth? - windows 8

Hey all,
I've been googling for a while now, and still haven't found anything relevant to me. I have a mid-2012 macbook pro running windows 8 through bootcamp and I've been trying to pair a bluetooth mouse. Bluetooth drivers seem to be installed (Apple Broadcom Built-In Bluetooth - v 5.0.1.0), but I cannot turn on bluetooth anywhere. The switch to turn on bluetooth under wireless devices (charms bar > settings > change pc settings > wireless) isn't there. What can I do?

on my imac I can't recall the group (the ones you click on it the left list) but in one of them it have the blue circle with the bluetooth icon on it of cause one have to install the drivers for bluetooth to work

5800 - cannot copy files over bluetooth in Windows...

Hi Guys,
I have always been able to connect my 5800 to my computer through bluetooth. It used to work on XP as well as Vista. Ever since I upgraded to Windows 7 - I have been unable to copy files from my computer to my phone through bluetooth. (Phone to computer file copy works fine).
The phone connects to the PC quickly - but if I try to copy - using windows explorer or even using the File Manager of PC Suite - then I am not able to copy files correctly. It shows me a dialog box saying "Do you want to copy <<Filename>> to your device? Your device may not be able to play or view this file" If I still choose to copy then it copies a file of zero bytes!
Has anybody experienced this? Please help.
Heres my configuration --
Phone - Nokia 5800
PC OS - Windows 7
PC Suite - 7.1.51.0
Thanks!

Are you using built in bluetooth or a dongle ? I had problems with mine, (using a bluetooth usb dongle) on Windows 7, and to be honest don't know how it was solved ! Few times computer says installing drivers failed (although Ovi Suite would connect ok) then a few days ago bluetooth file manager started working !!!!!!!!!! Can only assume some new drivers compatible with Win7 have been released by samsung, who made my dongle. Sorry it's not a lot of help, but may be worth checking the web for bluetooth drivers for Win 7 ?
Good Luck
ps drag and drop via usb cable is much quicker !!

Cant see the "send file","recieve file" option in bluetooth in windows 8 panel.

I have the following laptop
Hp Pavilion 17-e054
I am running windows 8 in it. The problem is, I can see the Bluetooth option in the notification panel but it doesn't show me the send and recieve option in it. Everytime I have to send a file or recieve a file I have to go to RUN>fsquirt.
This opens the transfer wizard. But this is too annoying and I don't get it why i can't see the option. I have just purchased the laptop and its bluetooth driver is preinstalled.
This is the image of what I meant.
Any kind of help is appreciated.
And sorry if it feels like the problem is already solved because I tried looking at the forum, I couldn't find an appropriate thread. Thanks.

Bluetooth in Windows 7

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my rMBP. I can connect my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and they work just fine. However, when I shut down or put the computer to sleep, my keyboard and mouse do not work when booted back into Windows. The only solution I've found is going into the control panel and removing both Bluetooth devices, and then resyncing them again. Am I missing something here? Shouldn't these automatically reconnect? Maybe bad Bluetooth drivers in Bootcamp?
Any thoughts would be great!

Ok, after a few hours of troubleshooting, the problem is with the crappy Bootcamp drivers supplied by Apple. If anyone stumbles upon this, I can verify that these two threads will get Bluetooth working correctly on a 2012 15" rMBP:

Bluetooth driver Windows 7 64-bit

I use my N82 with Windows 7 64-bit using a Bluetooth connection (Widcomm stack). Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.6 communicates with the phone via Bluetooth without any problems. However, the PC still appears to miss a Bluetooth modem driver: In the device manager, under "Other Devices", I can find 3 entries for a "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" (obviously the N82) without a driver.
I have downloaded the "Bluetooth Modem driver for Windows 2000, XP and Vista Users" (an ".inf" file) from the Nokia web site and tried to install it manually, but Windows keeps telling me that it can't use it as a driver.
What else can I do? Is there another driver for Windows 7 64-bit?

Unable to use Bluetooth using Windows 8.1

I have problems using Bluetooth.
Can someone help please?

Hello,
I have problems with my bluetooth. Similar problem as in the posts below:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/G500-LAPTOP-BLUETOOTH-PROBLEM/td-p/1389679
I have the same laptop: g500s.
The topic starter gave up his effort to make it work again. I have tried the following things myself:
- Reinstalled / Uninstalled drivers for bluetooth (the atheros and intel from the official website).
- Repair option in Windows
- Using automatic update after uninstallation
- Doing a manually update
Problem is that there are only drivers for windows 8 and not for windows 8.1. :
http://support.lenovo.com/en_NL/downloads/default.page?
I can't configure my bluetooth because whenever I trie to open bluetooth adjustment menu (I don't know the english variant because I use the dutch version) I automatically go to the PC adjustments/configuration. When I press on bluetooth in the left menu it freezes.
Is this unfixable or something?
