Bluetooth Issues Since Update

Since the November update my Bluetooth no longer works properly.
I can no longer use Bluetooth and hear turn by turn directions.
I had to rename some contacts for the voice recognition to work.
The connection quality is intermittently poor, transferring the call back to the phone fixes the problem, well
its illegal to talk on the phone without built in Bluetooth here in California so I guess its not fixed.
Is someone out there at Verizon/Motorola/Google listening?

    like2angle  We understand how important it is to be able sync your device with your car. Here are a couple of  steps to try. First, remove or disable any third party task or battery  manager applications, then retest. Next, if that does not help, place the device in safe mode and test. Press and hold the Power button until the options menu appears then release. Select and hold Power off until the "Reboot to safe mode" prompt appears (approximately 1 second) then release. From the "Reboot to safe mode" prompt, select OK to confirm.Allow several minutes for the device to power off and restart into Safe Mode.Upon reboot, "Safe Mode" appears in the lower-left of the unlock screen. If that does not resolve the prblem the you would want to try a master reset. Let us know if that helps.

  • Issues since update to yosemite

    Hello everyone,
    I've been having all sorts of issues since updating to yosemite which I am struggling to fix on my macbook.
    I've had the mac since 2010/11 and the first thing I noticed after updating to Yosemite was the fan constantly running from the moment I boot the machine and that the icons on my desktop were extremely slow to load up as are any files in the documents folder and finder.
    Then watching videos on youtube etc were refusing to play fully. I have since updated to the latest flash player but it is still slow.
    I ran the activity monitor and a kernel task file is operating at around 120% all the time.
    I have read numerous posts on the internet to try to fix and have upgraded to the latest yosemite, reset the printers and many other things.
    Now the trackpad is no longer working and not recognised and now the final straw for me is the keyboard refusing to be recognised at startup. I am currently using a wired mouse and bluetooth keyboard to get around these problems and everything is working fine with these but is a real pain.
    Has anyone had any similar problems to the above and know how to sort as this is taking up way too much of my time.
    Thanks

    What is the exact, complete text of the error message you get?

  • To all experiencing burn issues since updating to last version of iTunes

    To all that have been experiencing difficulties burning music since updating to iTunes6:
    After reviewing this discussion board it seems obvious to me -I am not a technician but nonetheless- that the problems that we are experiencing are due to some kind of incompatibility between our PCs and Apple.
    While some here have been very helpful in trying to resolve these issues, I find it disgusting that Apple does nothing. Itunes customer support do nothing. We are left to fend for ourselves, frustrated by the amount of money we have invested in building up our music collections in order fot them to be held hostage because Apple and/or iTunes will not address the issue.
    Did anybody bother reading the software license upon updateing to the earliest version? Is it too early to talk of "class action" suits?
    It seems logical to me that we will be heard better by Apple if we speak as a collective and not individuals. Maybe that way we could put more pressure on them to either fix what needs to be fixed or refund the money we have invested in iTunes.
    As for me, iTunes has already lost me as a client. I won't download any more music because there is nothing I can do with it. That doesn't seem to matter to them. I suppose this is what happens when you get too big for your own britches!
    Any ideas on how we can take down the bully????

    Lost data from iTunes on upgrade? See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.
    Restored an older backup to the device? If you're lucky your most recent photos may be in your Photo Steam.
    Otherwise you may need to paint a fuller picture of the problem...

  • Late 2013 MBP w/Retina Battery Charging Issue since update to 10.10.2

    I don't know if this is due to the update to OS X 10.10.2, or if it's just coincidence, but ever since updating, my battery has had issues charging.
    When I plug into an outlet, the indicator in the menubar shows that it's plugged in, light on the power cord doesn't light up (not amber, not green, nothing) and the percentage estimate for power remaining doesn't increase at all, no matter how long I'm plugged in for.
    I thought it maybe had to do with more things being plugged into the powerstrip, so I tried plugging into an directly into a wall outlet, but that was no use.
    The only way to get the battery to start charging again is to restart AND zap the PRAM; clearly this isn't optimal...
    Is any one experiencing this type of issue as well? Any hints or ideas as to how to fix it?
    Thank you!

  • Email and Photo issue since update

    Ever since the 2.2 firmware update the images I email from my 3g iphone are displaying very low res on my wife's phone and vice versa. She emailed me some photos that looked fine before the update and now they are all pixelated. Has anyone else had this issue since the update?

    This is a known bug and the subject of a big thread here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1802430&tstart=45
    There is not much you can do about it other than hope for an upgraded firmware release.
    The photos are stored on the phone in the proper resolution, and you can copy them to your computer and they look fine.

  • Bluetooth Issues since most recent Security Update

    I just updated my Macbook Pro and my wife's MacBook Air, and all of the sudden, our Bluetooth Apple Keyboard and Magic Trackpads are undiscoverable.  I just spoke to a friend in San Fransisco who said the exact same thing is happening with his computer since he installed the latest updates.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Fixed the problem from advise from another topic. I ran repair permissions and now everything I think is back to normal. I have so few problems I always forget about "repair permissions" Thanks for the advice!

  • IPhone4 Bluetooth issues since 4.2.1 update

    The connectivity problem occurs both with Renault Carminat CNC and BMW multimedia systems.
    Anyone having a workaround for this?
    Thanks,

  • Xperia T- Bluetooth Issues since Andriod 4.3 Upgrade.

    Hello All.
    Since my phone was upgraded to Andriod 4.3 Jelly bean, I've been unable to make calls from my phone via my BMW car audio as before, as the Bluetooth link keeps dropping out.
    I've tried re- pairing the phone to my car, but this has made no difference.
    The Bluetooth seems to work ok with other devices.
    Questions are:
    1) Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it.
    2) If not, is it possible to re- install the previous version of Bluetooth that came with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and worked perfectly ok with the car audio.
    3) As a last resort, is it possible to install a 3rd party Bluetooth App to try and resolve the problem.
    Hope somebody out there can help !

    I Have an Xperia Z and once again since the update battery drains superquick, the phone gets hot and the bluetooth is all but useless, I work for a motor dealer, since this update I cannot pair my phone to most of our vehicles to demonstrate the system (and yes it did pair fine to these cars and vans prior to update), I get the message Bluetooth share has stopped or it will re-boot the entire phone, I did have a conversation with Sony who deemed that I should back up and restore the handset, which once done may or may not work (it didn't) and they seem to be completely denying a problem, which as I have checked various forums there very clearly is a major issue 

  • Iphone ios 6.1.3 wifi bluetooth problem since update

    Hi,
    It seems that Apple has a problem with the Iphone 4s IOS update 6.1.3.
    Since i updated my Wifi and Bluetooth on my phone have fallen over / failed.
    wifi is unable to be switched from off to on (greyed out)
    Bluetooth will not turnon either just icon circling around.
    After looking at some of the meesages on he it would seem that the update has damage the phone???
    I have backed up, removed all settings, restored the phone but no joy.
    I will try putting the phone in the freezer, yes this has been suggested as a fix.
    Failing that i will have to return the Phone the Vodafone /Apple for them to sort.
    Not very happy at all.
    Apple please sort this issue, and quick!!!

    Same problem. I've tried the apple support site recommendations... reset network settings etc. No result. The problem is that there is no place to enter the needed pin code any more. The dialog box needed for that is completely absent. And on top of that if you actually want to communicate with a tech support person (for a problem caused by Apple programming to begin with) you will actually have to pay for said support first. I have to say that Apple is feeling more like Microsoft all the time. A company I avoid like the plague because of experiences like this that I have had to suffer over and over again. To bad. Apple was a really great company. A really great movement in the tech world at one time. No more though. Time to quit beating a dead horse with a stick and switch to Samsung I guess. That means getting rid of all my apple laptops and desktops too I guess. What a bummer!

  • IPhone 4s suddenly not seen by Win7, but is seen by iTunes? A friend who supports 30 iphones as an IT manager says it's a rampant issue since update. Official position Apple??

    I'm completely up to date, I've restarted my pc and my phone several times. Is this intentional? Is apple trying to hide the device so it forces you to go through itunes and icloud?
    Photostream has NEVER worked for me anyway and even if it did I want to see my device on my computer. My 16gb 4s has been 'backing up' for over an hour now. I can no longer access my phone photo folders through my computer, my phone does not even appear as a device anymore. It charges and itunes starts right up though. Prior to this last update it worked fine.
    I don't want to be forced into using icloud or itunes to access my data. Is this yet another glitch or is it intentional?
    I texted my IT friend hoping for a quick fix and he texts back  "As you know I support 30 iphones, this week has been a nightmare, I feel your pain and don't have an answer."
    I've seen a lot of similar posts when googling this issue but no one from apple support has addressed this, the only 'solutions' are 'reinstall icloud' or something like that. F*** icloud, which I deleted anyway. I want to access my phone through my computer as I was doing before.
    All my drivers are up to date on my pc.

    @ Peter: So this is apple supports way of saying 'we have no clue' or 'yes infact we are attempting to force you to use itunes as the sole way of transferring your data'?
    Since you apparently can't figure out the issue by reading my first post I will lay it out very simply:
    Ever since this last iTunes update (just this week) my Win 7 64 bit computer will not 'see' my 4s iPhone, but iTunes will. Prior to this I could go to 'My Computer' and see my phone, I could then open and copy any photos or videos out of it to my computer in 1/1000th of the time it took to sync with iTunes.
    Now, suddenly I can't. Restarting my phone and my computer several times has not resolved this issue.
    1) I'd like a solution if there is one
    2) If there isn't one I'd like to know if this is something apple has done intentionally
    3) If you're reading this and do not have a solution or an answer to this issue, please don't call me liar or complain that I'm ranting.

  • Keypad issues since update...

    Ever since the update I am having issues with my Droid X keypad.  Whenever I try to type the keypad will disappear or it won't type the correct letters and it becomes quite a mess.  I thought maybe it was my texing app but it appears to be happening in any app I try to type in.  I took it to the Verizon store and the guy switched it into the swype mode and it seems to work like that, but I don't like swyping and I don't like pecking in the swype mode.  He said it was an issue with the new software but had a replacement phone sent to me anyway.  Still the same problem with the replacement phone.  Anyone else expereiencing the same issue and possibly know of a fix?

    Sometimes clearing the learned words from the Settings / Lauguage and Keyboard / Multi-Touch Keyboard / Clear Learned Words helps....
    Another option you can try is Smart Keyboard, I posted about this app at http://community.vzw.com/t5/Android-Apps/BEST-KEYBOARD-REPLACEMENT-EVER/m-p/572950 you may want to check it out..

  • Issues since updating to Windows 8.1

    Hello, 
    So I hope that this is the appropriate forums to be posting about this, if not don't hesitate to point me in the right direction.
    The issue I've been having since the time I have updated is that, my desktop background goes black, and the task bar becomes all buggy. Nothing I've searched for has helped fix it. the issues include the taskbar icons ( chrome, battlenet,steam,etc.) become
    buggy, like their images arent actually there, the background goes black and everything runs slowly, and some programs start to bug ( example, skype conversation appearing in the top left corner of the box, while typing in it.) When I reboot the system its
    as if nothing ever happened and its smooth sailing for a while then boom its back, Now could it be something to do with my hardware or that im using a 2nd monitor? Any help would be highly appreciated thanks 

    Hi,
    How did you upgrade to Windows 8.1? Pleaes make sure that you're using a setup.exe\iso\media pack from a genuine resource, or you might get an awful system.
    And did you upgrade to windows 8.1 from Windows 8 or Windows 7? Did you run a Upgrade Assistant before upgrading to Windows 8.1, the Upgrade Assistant can detect some software and hardware compatibility issues. Just as mentioned in the following link:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/upgrade-from-windows-7-tutorial
    Regarding to the "2nd monitor", do you mean a 2nd external minotor? if so, what is the result if we unplug the device, then boot to the system to check the performance, meanwhile, make sure to keep the latest driver for the monitor if you use it.

  • Retina MacBook Pro Issues Since Updating To Yosemite

    Hey everyone,
    I have the early 2013 15 Inch Retina MacBook Pro (2.4Ghz i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) and ever since I updated to Yosemite I have had many issues which are becoming serious problems.
    Problem 1) 9/10 times the laptop will not turn off when shut down is pressed. The Finder disappears, the dock stays put and then does nothing. I have to manually hold the power button to get the laptop to turn off.
    Problem 2) Audio issues. I have an external Audio Interface that I use for recording and playback through my studio monitors. Randomly when I'm watching videos the audio of the video will slow down so the audio sounds lowered in pitch while the video stays the same speed. While I'm listening to music through iTunes there have been occasions where the music has actually sped up at least 10x of it's original speed.
    Problem 3) Connecting to Apple TV's crashes my computer. At college we have Apple TV's that we can connect Macs and iPads to to showcase work and when I connect my MacBook to it, the Macbook crashes and has to be forced rebooted.
    Problem 4) The computer is just generally slower. When browsing files in the finder and using applications such as iMovie the computer is noticeably slower than when before upgraded.
    I have tried contacting Apple support but was told that I had to purchase an incident report for £25. After spending £1800 on a Laptop I'm not paying £25 just to talk to someone. Has anyone had these issues? Any fixes?
    Thanks!

    Well, if your Contacts have disappeared, then under System Preferences, click on iCloud and make sure you are signed into iCloud. If you are not, sign in. If you are, sign out and then back in to see if that restores your contacts.
    I take it you have already restarted your Mac? If not, do that as well.
    Best of luck,

  • AirPort/App Store/Time Capsule issues since update

    Ok I have a MacBook Air Mid-2013....Since I did the Yosemite update 10.10 I have experienced the following issues...
    1. I cannot connect to my time capsule (well I can if I get go to connect to server and type the ip)
    2. The time capsule will not show up in my airport utility (but i can get into it when I configure other)
    3. I cannot connect to the App Store. 
    4. My internet connection seems to go out when i try to get into the app store or the airport utility.
    I have turned off my firewall that didnt work. Cleared out my key chain....still nothing......made sure the time was set correctly.....Reset a bunch of times everything.....I can access the time capsule from ios and my imac which i didnt update.

    Reset the TC to factory.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Start over from the MBA and redo the setup.
    Make sure you use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric names.. pure alphanumeric passwords.
    eg TCgen5 base station name. TCwifi wireless name.
    Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local only in the computer.
    .. Now you might need to setup the TC at least once manually in finder.
    Use the name.. as follows
    AFP://TCgen5.local
    And don't forget to save the password to the keychain.
    If you still have issues, it is more likely the MBA installation of Yosemite is faulty.. and I would recommend a clean install.

  • Yahoo mail issues since updated safari

    Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion and updated Safari, I'm having strange Yahoo email issues. The following work fine in a Firefox browser session.
    1) typing addresses deos not fill in names like it used to
    2) I can't attach files, I get an error everytime

    I had the same problem with Yahoo! Mail but even worse I found that I simply could not send any mail at all. The problem only arose this week after installing the new (1.1.4) software upgrade.
    I had originally set up Yahoo! Mail using the option given on the Mail screen and it worked perfectly until the upgrade, which may just have been coincidental, I suppose. But I was then unable to send any mail at all. I deleted the e-mail account and then reapplied it but not by opting for the Yahoo! option on Mail and instead set it up as an 'Other' POP account, being sure to deactivate SSL and instead go for Password verification. From what I gather this is just how you would set up a Yahoo! Mail account for MacMail and this basically applies the advice that BT gives for Yahoo! Mail users with a Mac.
    It then worked fine, but I lost the really cool real-time sync with Yahoo! Mail which I had had previously.
    I have since managed to get Yahoo! Mail working again properly by simply trying and trying and trying to reapply the account as a true Yahoo! Mail account on the Mail icon and eventually it gave in to my dogged persistence.
    Good luck.
