Bluetooth is pairing but is not functioning

I bought my Iphone4 exactly a year back. In the very begining, I paired it with the Bluetooth of my Toyota Mark-X car. It was working perfectly. Every time, I receive a call, automatically the audio shuts down and I am able to take a call and as soon as the call gets finished, audio starts playing right from that second where it left !!
Last week, when IOS5 was released, I immediately upgraded it .... it was running perfectly, as usual but just after 2 days, it stopped functioning !! I mean Bluetooth gets paired to my Car but the call is not properly diverted to the Car Audio !! First I thought that there is a problem with my Mark-X bluetooth software; so I changed my phone, paired my old Samsung with it and it started working exactly the way it used to !! Which means that there is no problem as far as my Car hardware is concerned !!
I, then, deleted my Iphone profile from my car and then re-paired it .... Problem is still the same; my Car is detecting Iphone & is also pairing to it BUT the Bluetooth functionality is not working !! Even as a matter of fact, before this happened, whenever I received a call, the Iphone screen start showing "Sources" option in the place of "Speaker" icon; from there you can select that whether you want to receive it on Bluetooth or phone or speaker !! But now, it shows the bluetooth as connected but does not show any option on the Iphone screen NOR it fuctions !!
Any Ideas ??

I am having exactly the same problem. I have a 2010 Ford Mondeo and it has always paired up perfectly with my 3GS iphone.
Since the ios5 upgrade it comes up that it is paired and I can access my phonebook etc through the car's system no problems. However when I make a call using the car, it is potluck as to whether it will work or whether it drops out from the car straight away (but continues with the call in my phone which means I have to pull over to stop the call in my phone if it hasn't jammed the phone up).
Even though it indicates that my phone and car are paired, and I may have even received or made a call during the same trip, incoming calls are not put through the car system so I arrive at my destination to find I have missed calls on my phone.
It seems ridiculous that an upgrade could be such a massive step back!!!

A1016 Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Pairs, but will not work

I have one of those A1016, 1st generation, Apple Bluetooth keyboards,
had it since late 2008, that will pair via bluetooth setup assistant, I
can enter the passkey on the keyboard and I get the "congratulations
your computer is now setup to use your bluetooth keyboard, message but,
as soon as it is paired the keyboard accepts no input.
The problem started after I left the keyboard in my car overnight, and
switched on, I believe, while the only macbook I had ever used the
keyboard with was with me, 30 miles away. If I had not been in an
extreme hurry at the time I probably would have thought to take the
batteries out of the keyboard.
The battery level, currently, is at about 79%. The light on the caps
lock key does not come on, but the green light on the on switch,
underneath the keyboard, does seem to work, when I first switch it on
that light blinks for a period of time.
Incidentally, the keyboard has been in this condition for a long time,
now, and I deleted com.apple.Bluetooth.plist many times and I repaired
permissions, even with "applejack" and with "iceclean", many times since
the problem started.

Hi Barry, thanks for the quick reply. I am not familiar with "favorites" for BT, but I checked, and of the several BT devices I have re-paired, only the keyboard is NOT a "favorite". Odd thing is, I have no idea how to make a device a "favorite" (or not)! Don't know how it happened for the other devices.
The Apple support document TA2137 says to click on the "add to favorites" button, but I see no such button and no way to make a BT device a "favorite". I have no idea how my other BT devices got so designated. I think I've applied all software updates.
Can you help me on setting that BT "favorite" status?
Thanks,
Dave

Bluetooth headset pairs, but is not available as playback device

Hi there
I am trying to pair and use my MEElectronics Runaway bluetooth stereo headset (with microphone) with my Zbook. I am following the instructions at MEElectronics available here http://www.meelec.com/Articles.asp?ID=352#ytplayer
I make the device discoverable and am able to pair the devices.
I select the device in Windows and it says 'connecting to device' then 'configuring device'. Then
'This device has been successfully added to this computer. Windows is now checking for drivers and will install them if necessary. You may need to wait for this to finish before your device is ready to use. To verify if this device finished installing properly, look for it in Devices and Printers.'
I click on Devices and Printers, and find the Air-Fi Runaway.
I click on volume system icon to select it as a playback device, but it is not listed there.
How do I guarantee that Windows actually downloads and installs the drivers to make this work? It doesn't appear to be doing so automatically as per what happened above.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Tronica

hello,
the reason the driver is not installed is because there is no windows 7/8 64bit driver available .
I have the same problem with another kind of headphones, soundpeats qy7 .
I keep searching and hoping that maybe a driver will be completed and published .

my iphone 5 is not finding any bluetooth divises. trying to connect to bluetooth hands free but its not searching the divice. what do i do to connect bluetooth headset.

have you tried toggling bluetooth off/on again? if so, try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If you still can't detect or pair with any compatible bluetooth device you should offer the device for service.
If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
Good luck

I have got an IPhone 5. It has been locking itself and not possible to run it again. I have restored it by Itunnes. But still not functioning. I have bought it from London whitecity applestore and have been using it in Turkey. Any suggestion ?

Sorry, but the warranty for the phone is only valid in the country where you bought the device, and you can't send it in, Apple does not ship internationally.
Has the phone been officially unlocked? Only the carrier can unlock an iPhone.

Firefox 5 updated - now it does not function - just a blank window. Pull down menus appear but do not function. Am I missing an obvious point to allow this browser to function?

I do not understand how to correct this malfunction.
Operating on MacBook Pro using Mac OSX 10.6.8. Firefox 5 updated - now it does not function - just a blank window. Pull down menus appear but do not function. Am I missing an obvious point to allow this browser to function?

I suspect it has something to do with the java but not sure
Just so you'll know, there is no Java on that page. There is, however JavaScript. You should know that those two things are different as night and day.
To fix your problem, change this -
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
</script>
</head>
to this -
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
-->

External Mice register but do not function

I can not get any USB mouse to function with my Toshiba Satellite A665D.
The mice all register and install drivers when they are plugged in. The device manager shows them functioning perfectly, but they do not function at all. Every few minutes while a mouse is plugged in, the computer makes the device disconnect notification sound.
I've tried multiple mice, testing the USB ports with an HDD, uninstalling all the USB devices and mice and reinstalling, turning off the Power Saving for all USB devices, toggling Legacy USB, testing the mice on other computers, Safe Mode, removing the battery for 15 minutes, and performing various arcane rituals. Nothing is working.

Have you tried using the mice on other systems, to make sure they connect properly? Some USB mice have a button on them to pair it when you are first connecting, and if you don't hit the button, it will never connect. Worth checking out, just in case. Seems like you have covered all of the bases otherwise. Strange problem indeed.

The bluetooth keyboards pairs, but I can't type.

The blue tooth keyboards do pair, but after that no keystrokes are recognized by the Mac.I have tried with three different bluetooth keyboards with the same results, so it's not the keyboard itself. Mouse works though. I have tried to pair the keyboard again, but with the same results. I am currently on iOS Mountain Lion. Also Mouse Keys are disabled, so that's not the issue. Anyone experienced the same and found a solution?

Hello:
I reread your post. OS X 10.8 and iOS are different. What are you trying to pair the KB with? I also did not ask if the keyboards are Apple devices......
Since tyou said you have tried with three keyboards, it obviously is not a faulty KB. One other thing I can think of to try requires a working KB (reset the PRAM).
You might also trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.
Is one of the keyboards new (and Apple branded)? If so, I would take it to an Apple store and talk to someone at the genius bar.

After upgrading, Firefox opens but will not function.

My OS is Vista Ultimate (64-bit). My firewall is Norton360.
After automatically upgrading yesterday, my firefox no longer functions/works. I get a firefox screen that is partially enabled, but am not able to open any websites, etc.

You can check if you can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key.
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Flash Player seems to install, but will not function

Flash Player installs but does not work. When I go to the troubleshooting website (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html), the box does not fill with information. If I right click where the box should be however, the menu shows the version and acts as if AFP is installed. I cannot select settings, but can select global settings. The global settings dialog box will open.
I am using AFP version 11.7.700.169, using IE 9, and running Windows 7. I have 2 other PCs, and both are running the program fine. So far, I have tried many things to troubleshoot with no luck.
So far:
-Complete uninstall, using the Adobe uninstaller. I have deleted the folders and content as well, shut down, and tried reinstall.
-I have deleted the registry entry and also tried setting it to zero located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}.
-I am using Norton 360, and have tried an install with all services stopped (Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, Auto protect, etc)
-I have verified Active X filtering is not checked in IE.
-Active X and Scripting options in IE>Tools>Internet Options are enabled and mirror the selections on the two working PCs.
-I have tried to uninstall and reinstall an earlier version of AFP with no luck.
-Shockwave Flash Object Addon is enabled.
Screen shot is included to show what happens on the redirect screen after I install AFP.
I am out of ideas and would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks!

I'm a little disappointed in the forums - no responses. I'm happy to share I found the issue, and am sharing the solution in case others have the same problem. The interesting thing is the setting that I changed is different on the two working computers. In IE9 navigate to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced and the first check box under Accelerated Graphics...check it. Restart IE and voila, it is fixed. The other two PCs I am using have this box unchecked and AFP works fine...odd.

IPad finds bluetooth Altec speaker but will not pair

I had been using the Altec Lansing in motion Soundblade bluetooth speaker with my iPad with no problem. I brought it on vacation and paired it with another device, and now the iPad will not pair with it. It finds it when it searches, but when it says "not Paired" in the box next to the device number. When I choose it to pair, it thinks for a few seconds and goes back to not paired. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Do you have the other device that it was paired with? Sometimes you have to un-pair a device before you can pair with another. For the iPad you do this by douching the button that say forget this device. Removing the battery from the speakers for a little while may also work.

HT1338 Macbook Bluetooth paired but does not connect, how do i fix this?

Hello,
I have a Rocketfish Bluetooth device that I use to stream music wirelessly from my Macbook to my stereo. The macbook and bluetooth pair then connect but once i activate the connection fails. I've used other devices (ipad) to connect with the Rocketfish and it works so the bluetooth device is funtional so the issue must be on my macbooks end. Any thoughts on how i can get this to work?
Thanks,
Seth
