"Bluetooth module not installed" when it really is

Got a friend calling me. His iBook G4 uses the wireless mighty mouse and obviously uses Bluetooth. It has always worked. Today, the little Bluetooth icon isn't in the top corner. In the system settings, he gets an error saying the module isn't installed. I read somewhere that resetting the SMC can help, so I told him to take all the cables out, take the battery out, hold the power button for 5 seconds, then get it all back on again. No difference.
Is there anything iBook specific we can do to get it working again? Any advice?
It's either Panther or Tiger he is using. Probably Tiger.
Thanks!

When you match up the correct series of iBook you have there, with the instruction
set from the line-up in this support document, then apply them, it may work OK.
Resetting PowerBook and iBook Power Management Unit (PMU)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431?viewlocale=en_US
The PPC computer in question does not have a System Management Controller (SMC.)
Depending on the build year information, processor series and configuration options,
you should be able to identify the iBook model adequately to apply the right process.
The 'mid-2005' last model of iBook G4 (1.33/1.42GHz) has the wireless module on
the logic board and that unit contains both the wi-fi 802.11/g and the bluetooth; so
if it happens to have failed, the computer has to be taken apart by a pro to fix it.
Good luck & happy computing!

    hi can anyone help please ? i have had apple products now for apron 7 years BUT have never been able to make the bluetooth work , not even when 2 products i.e. : phone and iPod are in the same room. So i stopped trying but would like to set it up between my iMac and iphone / ipad but can't get it to work, they say discoverable but just will not connect to one another. I also tried the connection code and tried without one ... NO JOY ... Is this common or am i a twit ?

    You can't connect an iPhone or iPad to a Mac via Bluetooth, except for Internet tethering.
    You're not doing anything wrong - it just isn't a feature of iOS devices.
    What were you hoping a Bluetooth connection would allow you to do?

  • Exception : SubjectManager not installed when doing Security.runAs()

    Hi
    I am getting an exception : Subjectmanager not installed while running Security.runAs(new Subject , .....
    The problem occurs onley when there is only wlclient.jar in the classpath .
    Anyone knows the solution
    I don't want to add weblogic.jar in the classpath .

    andy
    I am getting the exception "SubjectManager not installed" when calling Security.runAs with thin client jar. This is the first statement on entering main(). This error doesnt occur when using weblogic.jar.
    I was doing this because the principal and credentials set on main thread, for JNDI authentication were getting passed to all the child threads. To evade this, I thought of calling the following code in every new thread - Security.runAs(new Subject(), new PriviledgedAction(){
    public Object run(){
    //do stuff

    What operating system? The duplexer typically must be enabled (just once...) in the driver to make it available.  Enable the duplexer as shown in the Vista/Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide here.

  • Bluetooth module not present after installing 10.5.7 update from 10.5.6

    After installing the 10.5.7 update on my unibody macbook, I can not see the bluetooth option in the mouse preferences. and when i go into the mouse preferences i get the following error message. "The Bluetooth tab of keyboard & mouse preferences is hidden because you don't have a Bluetooth module installed or attached to you computer".
    This occured after i installed 10.5.7 update. It was working fine before this.
    I have tried restarting my system without success.
    Is there a way to roll back to 10.5.6?
    Message was edited by: psybonix

    Update:
    Applied Bluetooth firmware update this weekend and so far my mighty mouse disconnects a little more often than it did before the update. I was beginning to think it was solving itself as the disconnects seemed fewer and less often until the firmware update. May be coincidental, but it looks like the firmware update, at the very least, was not meant to address this particular problem. I guess I'm going to have to buy a wired mouse.
    Let's see now, starting with 10.5.5 my MBP has been plagued with frequent wifi disconnects and starting with 10.5.7 the bluetooth drops out frequently. This is very aggravating.

  • Elements Organizer does not install when reinstalling PSE10

    I have a problem that I cannot seem to resolve. Previously Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 had been running flawlessly on my computer and was easily opened by clicking the desktop icon which had a "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe" target. After uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop Elements 10, when I click on the Desktop icon to start the application, I get a dialog box that says "The item 'Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved so this shortcut will no longer work properly". If I right click the Photoshop Elements 10 desktop icon and check properties, the Target says "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe". When I open Explorer and navigate to where the target says the application file should be, the "Elements 10 Organizer" directory does not exist. The only directory that does exist is the "Photoshop Elements 10" directory and it contains the 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe'. Yes if I click on that file the Editor opens, however when I try to load the Organizer workspace once the editor is open, it does not load because the entire folder and application is missing. I even tried searching the entire C-Drive to find the Photoshop Elements 10.0.exe file but it was nowhere to be found.
    To be specific, I had PSE8, PSE9, and PSE10 installed on my 64-bit Windows 7 Professional w/SP1 computer. I decided to uninstall PSE8 & 9 because I had just purchased PSE12 and wanted to make room for the PSE12 installation. When I tried to first uninstall PSE8, the uninstaller stopped with the warning that PSE8 was installed in the same directory as PSE10. The uninstall then terminated when I clicked on OK. Next tried to uninstall PSE9 and received the same warning and uninstaller termination. The same thing happened when I tried to uninstall PSE10. Faced with the situation that all three products were installed in the same directory and would not uninstall individually, I found it necessary to uninstall all three applications manually according to the directions on the Adobe's knowledgebase.
    To uninstall PSE8, PSE9, & PSE10, first thing I did was create a system restore point which is something I always do just in case something goes wrong. Then starting with PSE8, I first printed out the Photoshop Elements Help "Manually remove Photoshop Elements 8 | Windows that I found at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/826/cpsid_82673.html. Subsequently I printed out the directions for each product, PSE8, PSE9, and PSE10, are all on the Adobe website. Next I followed the directions contained in each article except for running the product uninstaller as I mentioned above and removed all three applications then rebooted my machine.
    Next I reinstalled PSE10 and tried to open it only to find that it did not fully install especially the Elements Organizer. As mentioned you can open the Editor by going directly to the executable file however you cannot access the Organizer because it did not install and cannot be found anywhere on the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled PSE10 five time now each time using the product Uninstaller plus the "Manually remove PSE10" directions and I still cannot get the Elements Organizer to install.
    My question is does Adobe have a utility that can be run after manually installing a specific product that would find registry entries that were not removed after completing the manual removal process? The problem I see is the manual removal process which shows possible registry entries to remove manually is built on the assumption that you were able to run the Uninstaller which is not the case with my problem.
    Secondly does anyone have any suggestions on how to install both the PSE10 Organizer and Editor?

    I believe I found a solution but I need help in changing some of the parameters to reflect for a United States program install.
    If you go to "Elements 10 Organizer is not installed [SOLUTION]" at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4745941 you will note the Poster says it is possible to force the install of Elements Organizer 10 by using the command line:
    msiexec /i "E:\Adobe Photoshop Elements 10\ElementsOrganizer\Elements 10 Organizer.msi" TRANSFORMS=1031.mst ELEMENTS_DE_DE=1 ORGANIZER_DE_DE=1 STARTWATCHSERVICE=1 SUPPRESSREBOOT=0 NOT_STANDALONE=1 /l*v "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\OrganizerInstall.log".
    I found that the above command line input does in fact start the setup for the PSE10 "Elements Organizer" Installer except it is in a language other than English.
    Is there anyone familiar enough with coding and command line prompts to change whatever paramenters are necessary to have the installer run in English.
    Hopefully there are some Adobe Staff monitoring this message that can answer the question for me.

  • The dreaded "Video Error-File Not Installed" When trying to watch LiveTV in WMC

    I'm getting the following error message when trying to use Live TV in WMC:
    Video Error
    Files needed to display video are not installed or are not working correctly. Restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer.
    On this system my tuners are the Hauppauge HVR 2250 and the Hauppauge HD PVR.  It took awhile to set up, but when I click play on a channel I get 10 seconds of video, an audio loop of the same sound over & over followed by the above error message.
    I ran into this problem once before on my Home Theater HTPC when trying to access the ATI Cable Card solution.  To get that to work I had to uninstall and reinstall Playready.  I tried 3 different ways of doing this on my new build & it did
    not fix the problem.  The only fix I didn't try was the one on Ceton's website that involves a whole lot of deleting of folders.
    Since this current build doesn't have a cablecard installed, and gets the non-clear QAM stations from settop box through HD PVR, would it still be the Playready needing to be reset?  The symptoms look identical to when I had the previous problem.
    These same files play in the BeyondTV that I'm trying to migrate from, so all codecs appear to be onboard.  I am using the latest HDPVR MediaCenter driver from the Hauppauge website & the latest drivers on the HVR-2250.
    Thanks for any help!

    I had this problem after upgrading my graphics card to an AMD 5450 and the solution after a couple of days of hair pulling was one I hadn't come across before in relation to this problem.
    It turned out that the problem was caused by the screen refresh rate, it was set to 60Hz by default and I got the Video Error message but if I changed it to 50Hz then playback of recorded programs or watching live TV worked.

  • Why am I getting a message that iTunes is not installed when trying to access items in IE?

    When I am using IE and find an app on the store, then click the button to view in iTunes I am redirected to the download screen. I tried subscribing to a podcast recently as well and got the message that iTunes was not installed on my computer. When I try to do the same actions in Chrome they work fine. Unfortunetly, Chrome does not work well with some of the software my college uses so I would like to get IE functioning fully before classes start back up. This happens even if I disable my firewall. I have tried updating iTunes and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. My husband's computer has several itunes plugins in IE but I don't for some reason.

    Reset IE to defaults.

  • Adobe Flash Player says not installed when it is.

    Adobe Flash Player shows as installed on the primary Admin account (and works there) all other Admin and regular user accounts say it isn't installed.
    I have tried installing as various users and Administrator status, but I get the same response.
    "Install Successful"
    "Adobe Flash Player not Installed"
    I am new to MAC, but can't fathom how this could be Apples fault. Unfortunately, Adobe support requires Adobe Flash Player to access help content.

    To find the folder I went to Finder > Library > Internet Plug-ins.
    The folder is empty and says 0 files. I am not currently on an Admin log-in, but I'm used to files showing regardless. When installing, I am asked for the Admin account and log in info before the file will load.
    I downloaded the latest flash player from Adobe this morning.
    Virtual Drive: What I am used to being an installation file in Windows shows up as a disk drive icon on my desktop. I have to "eject disk" to get rid of it. I thought it was just a "MAC" thing. Other software loaded this way, but also had me drag an icon to the Applications folder. Adobe does not.
    I am starting to wonder if there is a file sharing issue that isn't allowing me to see some software. I noticed I also do not see data in 'Public' when I know I added pictures there in another account. I can't remember changing any settings on my MBA. I have only had it a month and have been afraid of messing up my first MAC.
    Thanks for staying with this.

  • Itunes gives me this error message This copy of itunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall itunes (-42037) However, it will not install-- when i try to download from the net it says same message.  How do i reinstall Itunes?

    Itunes gives me an error message when I try to open.   "This copy of itunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall itunes (-42037) "
    Howeever it says the same thing when i try to download from the app store.  How do I get this reinstalled??

    First uninstall your copy of Itunes--http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/uninstall-itunes/  (make sure you empty crash)  Then you go to the applications website and reinstall it.  Dont worry about losing any of your music because thats in a separate folder.   Thats it---it works.

  • I have lost my itunes library after updating it and keep getting a message saying MSVCR80.dll is not installed when I try to uninstall/reinstall it???

    I have lost my itunes library after updating it. Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling it and it gets so far then tells me that it cannot be installed because MSVCR80.dll is not installed on my pc. I have no idea what this is and have googled it, followed links to sites that say they can fix it, only for them to scan, tell me I have 3 thousand issues and then want me to pay $30 dollars to fix it for me. This message also appears on firing up my pc too.
    Can anyone help please?

    I've been through the exact same thing and cannot seem to get an answer here. When you go to Manage Storage, does it have something at the top like "19.1 GB of 25 GB available"? I only have a Mail account with 5.3 GB in it and a Backups account with 553 MB in it. Obviously, these don't add up to 19.1 GB. There was no change in any of these numbers when I deleted all the same files you mention. With the free Mobile Me storage expiring next month, this is something I'm pretty concerned about.

  • Javascript not installed when using UTL_HTTP.

    I'm using UTL_HTTP to return the contents of an external webpage.
    When I hit the page using Firefox or IE, and "view source", I can see the required content, but when using Oracle, it shows the "noscript" tag, as though javascript is not installed in Oracle. I installed the JVM, bit it still doesn't work.
    What am I missing here ?

    To add to Michael's comments - there is no web browser rendering engine in Oracle. It makes no sense to have one as where will it render on? This is server side. Not client side.
    And even if you ignore these client-server fundamentals and argue that the it should render (somehow) the response it get - there is no canvas/display device of any sorts to render anything on. Especially not something so generic and so virtual that will work on every single platform that the Oracle PL/SQL server process runs on.
    Okay, so having established that there is no sense to perform client (browser) rendering inside Oracle and that is not feasible, nor sensible too... just what do you expect UTL_HTTP to do with Javascript it gets?
    Do realise what the purpose and aim of Javascript is within the web architecture? It is a scripting language that is executed inside the web browser client. Quote "The primary use of JavaScript is to write functions that are embedded in or included from HTML pages and interact with the Document Object Model (DOM) of the page". As there is no HTML rendering engine inside Oracle, there is no HTML DOM either.
    Even if you implement one, how would you handle the interactive nature of Javascript (like AJAX, opening new windows, etc)?
