Bluetooth Mouse cannot be paired with win7 on Bootcamp, MacBook Air... Please Help

I had installed Windows7 by Bootcamp on MacAir (OS 10.7.5) several weeks ago. In order to use external mouse and save USB port, I bought a Bluetooth mouse from Logitech. It is successfully done pairing with MacOS and working well, and it is definitely pariing with other Windows 7 PC as well.
But... when I tried to make pairing under Windows 7 under Bootcamp of my MacAir, it failed.
I tried it by Control Panel -> add device. The device name was successfully searched and shown on screen, and I selected it and press "next" to make pairing.... but I couldn't see the successful message and didn't work. The screen was not changed from "connecting....." message and did not go further....
Please help me. Someone said that I should upgrade or change the Bluetooth driver of Bootcamp, but I cannot find out how I do that.

I found the solution in another posting. Bluetooth setup data brought over by migration assistant is incompatible with the new Bluetooth chipset in the latest Air. This fix worked for me:
Go to:
Macintosh HD->Library->Preferences
delete (the old migrated files)
com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile
stop Bluetooth and logout.
Login and restart Bluetooth.
You my need to delete any devices and re-pair.

I just purchased a JBL charge wireless speaker that is supposed to be compatible with ipad using Bluetooth , but cannot get my ipad to find the device. Please help

How do I connect ipad to jbl charge wireless speaker using Bluetooth. My ipad and ipad mini do not find device

I am having the same issue as YCandy. My iPhone 5 paired immediately - then I had bluetooth on my iPhone "forget the device" - but when I try to pair with my iPad it doesn't find the speaker. I just purchased the JBL Charge wireless.
The directions that come with the speaker are just pictures - shows me how to connect everything and what each light and button means. But it doesn't explain how to make sure the device is in "pairing mode." What does that mean exactly? The power button is blinking Blue - and never pairs with my iPad.
Any suggestions?

Apple Wireless Mouse - No Longer Pairs with Mac Mini?

Hi there,
I've had an Apple Wireless Keyboard and an Apple Wireless Mouse for several months. Unfortunately, the Apple Wireless Mouse no longer pairs with the Mac Mini (Core Duo, 1.66) -- it is getting very frustrating.
I've tried rebooting the machine, restarting the mouse, and nothing works. Sometimes I get the Bluetooth Setup Assistant which says that it found 1 Mouse, but it failed to pair.
I replaced the batteries, but nothing changes.
Help!

Normally that's caused by debris under the trackball preventing the rollers from moving. Turn the mouse upside down and rub the trackball Vigorously with a microfiber cloth.
The symptoms are usually that scroll will work one direction but not the other.

Bluetooth mouse won't pair after recent os updates

Hi there,
Since I installed the two updates for snow leopard yesterday my bluetooth mouse will not pair.
I go to setup bluetooth device & when i press the button to make it discoverable it appears right
away so I click contnue & after a short while get the error message 'The pairing attempt was
unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OSX & bluetooth software could be invalid or unsupported'.
On the initial discovery screen the messages 'searching for devices - one found' then 'updating 1
device name' appear. Have just tried pairing it on another windows system & it works fine!
Any advice appreciated.

If using a 3rd party mouse, check with its manufacturer to determine if they have compatible drivers.
If using Apple's mouse, post in the Mouse Bluetooth forum area.

Bluetooth mouse cannot keep connection

My Bluetooth mouse cannot maintain a connection to my MacBookPro (running 10.10.2). This just started a couple of days ago. I have two different BT mice (with fresh batteries) and my MBP cannot keep a connection with either one. Is there a bug in the last Yosemite update?

You are right - the router shouldn’t affect it but...Process of elimination
PRAM reset:
SMC reset
Unplug power to the USB hub and disconnect form computer - if your wireless mouse now works you can narrow it down farther. BTW my wife simply moved her hub and HD behind the computer to solve her problem. I needed the cable.
I doubt the router has anything to do with it but you can always temporarily take it down (unplug the power) and see.

Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

I have same results. I have an ipad mini and it will not pair with my apple keyboard. I bought a mini keyboard with bluetooth 3.0 and it will not pair either. Is my ipad defective? Or do i need a keyboard with bluetooth 4.0? Also - the mini keypad will pair with my ipad2 and my iphone 4. Only difference I can find is the ipad mini has bluetooth 4.0. Seems it should be downward compatible but maybe not.. I am not a blutooth expert!

I am sorry Erickkasner but there is no longer direct support provided for Creative Suite 5.5 installation issues.
You are welcome to post any specific errors you are able to discover within your installation log to this discussion. Since you are using Windows then Exit Code 15 could mean one of the following:
Installer database is corrupted
Update pending to your operating system
Improper permissions set for the Media.db
The installation log file should provide additional insight into the exact error you are experiencing. Please make sure to use the find command to look for the words 'ERROR' and 'FATAL' to locate the relevant error messages.

First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.
