Bluetooth not found under OS X Mountain Lion

Hello everyone,
Recently, I reinstalled OS X Mountain Lion from scratch to overcome some performance problems.
Sadly, I found that now bluetooth does not work on my MacBook Pro anymore.
Here are two screenshots:
I am not sure bluetooth worked on Mountain Lion before reinstalling since I'm not a regular user, but I'm sure it did back on 10.7 Lion and 10.6 Snow Leopard.
What would you suggest to check?
Thanks.
Edited (fixed screenshots)

Just for reference: I tried everything I found searching for a similar problem in the support community.
I deleted the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist, then reset the SMC and the NVRAM/PRAM.
I also did various reboots and permission repairs just to be sure everything else was fine.
I also investigated the possibility of a hardware issue and found this old and not ever properly solved question. I checked the cable described by bowmanmc and ensured it was properly pushed into its socket.
Also, this guide confirmed that the cable I checked was really the right one (my MacBook Pro is a late 2009 one, and internally slightly different from the early 2011 one, but unless Apple completely revolutionized the MBP's internal structure, I think I checked the right cable).

  • Bluetooth not available after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Mine is a mid-2011 iMac. I tried all the ways listed in https://discussions.apple.com/message/4874277?messageID=4874277#4874277?messageI D=4874277 but with no luck.
    Anyone experienced similar issue with a solution?
    Thanks.
    Wenbin

    Yes, I'm having the exact same problem.
    1. Bluetooth not available from the menu option "Bluetooth: Not Available"
    2. Yet, my Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse works as a basic mouse
    3. None of my gestures on magic mouse work (scrolling, swiping, etc.)
    4. My Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard works, but the iTunes control from F7 to F12 no longer work as the pictures imply (e.g. F12 should be volume increase, but it goes to Dashboard)
    Reboot doesn't fix it. Haven't try safe mode.
    APPLE, PLEASE HELP.

  • Apple apps not displaying properly in virtual Mountain Lion

    Hello,
    I have 13" MacBook Pro 2.4 that came with Snow Leopard. I have found that it does not perform really well with Mountain Lion (although 8GB RAM and 7200rpm HD) so I decided to switch back to SL. I also own Parallels and it lets me use the ML download image to set up a new virtual os, which I can then use to run iBooks Author.
    However, iBooks Author and iWork apps do not render in virtual ML. In the attached screenshots, you can see that the interface is there, but the content of the application is not showing up. Other applications like Safari perform just fine. So far, only iBA and iWork apps are affected.(Screenshots are from Parallels so they are of the virtual os)
    I know this is a virtual ML issue cause I have ML on a separate partition that works just fine when booted into it. I am assuming this is a graphic card specific issue, where Parallels is unable to match the hardware graphics exactly.
    I'd be happy to receive your comments and feedback to find a remedy to this situation, as I do not want to switch between partitions just to use iBooks Author.
    Best regards

    This issue extends to other Apple apps like Preview, which will not render when run in virtualization.  I use Snow Leopard virtualized in Lion and I always make sure I use Preview in Lion and not virtualized Snow Leopard.
    I believe this issue is discussed on the Parallels support forum, but with no satisfactory solution for now...
    They may also balk at offering you support as they do not officially support virtualizing Mt. Lion in Parallels in Snow Leopard.  I may have raised the issue on their support forum suggesting the problem was in virtualizing Snow Leopard Server in Lion, which they do officially support.
    Try a search of the Parallels Support forum...
    You could partition your hard drive and install Mountain Lion in that partition (or use an external hard drive) and use the "dual-boot" method as a workaround to your problem.  Of course, in this situation, you lose the ability to run Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion concurrently.
    Finally, you could reinstall Mt. Lion and then run Snow Leopard in Parallels, but it seems from your comments that this suggestion will not work for you.  This solution is primarily for those Lion/Mt. Lion users who need concurrent use of PowerPC applications requiring Rosetta:

  • Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2

    Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2. I've erased and reformatted the drive; reconnected Time Machine(it saw it) and began a new backup. The backup starts again but fails before completing with backup drive not found error. I used the 10.7.2 combo update. Any help on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

    Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
    After waiting since October for a fix, I have now upgraded the firmware on the Time Capsule and installed the new Airport Utility, released yesterday, and the situation is even worse.
    Up until now, the Airport Utility had an option to disconnect all drives manually and the Time Capsule would then work until the next reboot – a temporary (?) work-around.
    Now that option does not exist in the new-look Airport Utility. And the Airport Utility installation can’t be rolled back and the old utility won’t restore.
    The sparesbundle is still not accessible. Anyone worked out a work-around in the new environment yet?
    I have another Time Machine backup working fine to a trusty old Lacie Drive so erased the one on my Time Capsule to see if that works. I have renamed the Capsule and the Time Capsule Drive.  But to build another full backup will take at least two days and I shall be away from tomorrow and am reluctant to leave the Capsule and computer up and running for a week. And I’ll bet the sparsbundle will still be nowhere to be found.
    How can Apple screw up so badly when they are to become the richest company in the entire world and – soon – will have more cash in the bank than the entire United States? Can’t they afford someone who really can sort this out? Especially when a Firewire connected hard drive – my trusty and simple LaCie – works fine.
    Words, almost, fail me.

  • Cisco Connect does not run with Mac OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    When I first installed Cisco Connect that came with my E1500 router, I was running Mac OSX Snow Leopard (10.7) and it worked fine.  I upgraded my OSX to Mountain Lion and now when I start Cisco Connect, I get:
    Unsupported operating system
    The router software supports these operating systems:
    - Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later
    - Mac OS X 10.6.1 or later
    - Mac OS X 10.7 or later
    I saw some other thread/info/download on Cisco Connect with Lion (10.7) but nothing for Moutain Lion (10.8) - is there a fix forthcoming?
    Thanks
    Gary

    All i want to do is disable the guest function through cisco. i live in an apartment and everyone logs into my guest account. i was at my neighbours and they were laughing saying they done need to subscribe for the internet cause they just log onto local wi fi. and mine is one of them. i dont know if that'll slow down my internet with so many people using it. but all i want to do is just avoid it all together and get rid of it. but in this case i am having the same problem as all of you. to disable the guest function you need to go through cisco connect and it is not compatible with mac osx mountain lion. grrrrrrr

    Dear Chris,
    The answer lies in the error message you got, namely:
    please use a valid jdkAccording to your post, you don't have a JDK, you only have a JRE. The javac compiler is part of the JDK, it is not part of the JRE.
    You can download the JDK from the J2SE Download Web page. Look for the Download J2SE SDK link -- do not choose the Download J2SE JRE link!
    Good Luck,

    I had Snow Leopard and was using iWeb and Filezilla for my website (not MobileMe). Wanting to move to single-click publishing (supported by MobileMe), I now find it is not supported by iCloud and Mountain Lion. I feel cheated, having bought it mainly for this purpose! The other thing they don't tell you is that Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac, and I am considering uninstalling it for that reason - do I get my money back?!

    You stated; "Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac"
    That is not true.
    Mountain Lion does not have Rosetta so it is not capable of executing PowerPC code. If you have MS Office 2004 that is coded in PowerPC code and will not run in Mountain Lion. What you need to do is upgrade to an Intel version of Office.

    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go then move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.
