Bluetooth not seen in Windows

I installed Windows 8.1 through BootCamp and Bluetooth device is not recognized by Windows. I am talking about the new 2015 12' macbook.
It is not seen in the device manager list.
Any Help?

Can you check the version of BC drivers in bootcamp.xml on your USB?
It should look similar to
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xml' href='test.xsl'?>

<BuildInfo BuildNumber="5621" ProductName="Boot Camp">
<MsiInfo>
<ProductManufacturer>Apple Inc.</ProductManufacturer>
<ProductVersion>5.1.5621</ProductVersion>
<ProductCode>{FA2B2C2A-EA41-495A-9308-60726125D562}</ProductCode>

Satellite A - DVD drive not seen by Windows Explorer

THe DVD deive on D is not seen by windows explorer. It used to work but has now disappeared. The dvd hardwars starts up at boot then ceases.
Any ideas anyone?

Try removing the CD/DVD Filters from the Registry.
When CD/DVD related software is installed (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), they install filters into the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.
1) Run Regedit (Start -> Run -> Regedit)
2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3) In the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key, and delete the "LowerFilters" key.
4) Reboot.
If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).
This utility can remove the filters for you:

Ipod not seen by windows or itunes

Hello, I'm totally frustrated and have been searching for hours. Please someone help.
- Nano 8 gb
- Windows xp
Neither Windows (my computer) nor Itunes sees my ipod. Ipod is working fine: did the menu/select thing, cable is good.
When I plug the ipod in the usb port I hear a bleep and I get a message bottom right "new hardware found ipod"and the icon is a usb cable. Ipod is not in My computer window. Ipod is not seen by Itunes
Tried Device Manager/I see Ipod with a ? Yellow. If i right click on it and do update driver the ms computer management system crashes and sends error report.
I tried dowloading the USB driver and placing it in the directory, but I got stuck because there is no windows/inf directory. I tried to update the usb driver with the same ms crash.
I'm completely frustrated, please can someone help me.

I was having the same problem the other day. I'm not sure what it was but I think it has something to do with the i tunes and i pod 1.2 update.
What I did was:
1. Uninstall i tunes
2. Restart my computer
3. pluged my ipod in a slow usb line
4. waited until my pc recognized it in there. It took a little while.
5. re installed i tunes from apple.com
6. waited until i tunes recognized my ipod
7. updated my i pod with my library it took a long time because i was in the slow usb plug.
8. re plugged my ipod into a 2.0 usb line
9. i tunes recognized it.
10. I then updated my ipod to the new 1.2 version
11. The problem started happening again
12 I repeated what I did before and now it is working.
It was very frustrating! I hope it works for you.1

Bluetooth not working in Windows 7 x64

Hi,
My MBP is primarily used as a Windows 7 x64 box. Up until a couple of days ago, I've been using a bluetooth Logitech mouse and pairing with my iPhone without any problems. Two days ago, the mouse simply stopped working and I now cannot detect any Bluetooth devices from within Windows. Nor can my iPhone detect my MBP. The mouse works fine in Snow Leopard, however. Things I've tried so far include:
* Changing the batteries on the mouse
* Full power off, leave for a couple of hours, and back on again
* Resetting the PRAM
* Unpairing the mouse in Snow Leopard, then trying again in Windows
* Uninstalling all Bootcamp drivers and services, then reinstalling Bootcamp 3.0
* Updating to Bootcamp 3.1 and then 3.2
* Swapping the Bluetooth radio driver from the Apple Broadcom Built-In Bluetooth to the Broadcom Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
* Removing all hidden and absent devices from within Device Manager
* System Restore (failed, for some reason)
* Installing the WIDCOMM / Broadcom Bluetooth driver set from an installer for an Asus laptop.
About the only thing I haven't done is a full re-install of Windows 7, but I'm really keen to avoid that if I can...
Oh ... this did happen before, sort of. Bluetooth mouse simply stopped working. I could discover the mouse, but Windows couldn't connect. I put it down to the mouse itself and bought another one, which worked fine. A few weeks after that, the mouse stopped working again. The Bluetooth radios section in Device Manager was missing completely. Rebooted into Snow Leopard and it seemingly couldn't find the Bluetooth hardware either. Booked an appointment with the Genius bar, drove down, turned it on ... and everything worked fine.
Any ideas?

Check if your bluetooth is working under mac os - I had the same problem. When it's working under mac os then it's working under w7 64, too.

E3000 Media Server not seen by Windows Media Player (v 12.0) on Win 7

I've enabled the Media Server on my E3000 router. My PS3 can see the server and play media from it by my PCs can't!
I'm using Windows Media Player v 12.0 on Windows 7 and some older version on Windows XP and it's my understanding that the Media Server should appear under the "Other Libraries" section but it does not.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug in the E3000 firmware (I have the latest as of this date) or is the Media Server simply not compatible with Windows Media Player?
If it's an incompatibility issue, can someone please point me to a compatible media player for Windows 7?
I did read a post about a firmware upgrade on the 4200 that broke the media player, but I don't know if such a problem exists for the E3000.
Thank you,
Martin.

This is what you can try in getting the Computer to see the media server on the E3000:
(Obviously make sure you have the media server enabled on the router and at least one folder shared....and make sure you have scanned the folder(s))
1) Turn your computer on.
2) Disconnect your external usb drive.
3) Pull the power on the E3000.
4) Connect the external usb drive.
5) Plug the power back into the E3000.
Then see if that works or not.

Not seen in windows (or anywhere else!)

I have a problem..
I was given an Ipod - I am assuming it is a mini, but I'm not 100% certain - All I know is it has a touch wheel, is marked with 4Gb on the back, and it has a monochrome screen.
There were NO cables, manuals, or CD's with it.
I went out and purchase a FireWire cable for it, and it is charging up fine with that.
However, I seem to be unable to do anything else with it!
It does not appear in windows or in ITunes. I have read through all the advice I could find but the Ipod doesn't even appear in places where I should be able to fix this problem (nope, not even in Administrator Tools under Control Panel!)
When connected to my PC, the normal Ipod menu comes on screen, but no other messages or icons (ie: do not disconnect, the sad smiley etc).
So any suggestions as to how I can make this work?
I AM able to reset the Ipod (flick hold switch on and off, hold menu and select for 6-10 seconds etc) and I DO see the apple logo when I do this.
Please help!
Giric,
The normally tehno-savvy,
clueless Ipod user.

Are you sure it is an Ipod?
The reason i ask is that there are cheap mp3 players knocking about that look like ipods but there are in fact made to look like them but are no good.

Boot Camp, Aluminium Bluetooth Keyboard & Mighty Mouse not seen by Windows

I recently installed bootcamp (win xp pro sp2), and am unable to get windows to recognise my bluetooth keyboard and mouse. they work fine in OSX, and i know that the bluetooth drivers are good in windows because i can connect to my phone. I think the problem may be with pairing them with multiple computers, because while trying to figure out why it wasnt working i attempted to pair the keyboard with my ibook g4, and was unable untill i removed it from my MBP through system prefs. I have searched high and low and havent been able to find a solution, any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

What I have had to do, after booting into Windows, is toggle the mouse and keyboard power off and on. After about 3 or 4 seconds, Windows finally "sees" the input devices and everything works fine. It is a pain, I know.

Bluetooth not working in windows 7 however it is working in window XP - Lenovo R61

I have two operating system installed in my lenovo R61 laptop window xp and window 7 in different drives. Bluetooth driver is working fine on pressing Fn+F5 key in windows xp but in window7 bluetooth is not working and on pressing Fn+F5 key, nothing happens. I have also tried to install ''Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software II'' driver with ''README for Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software II'' txt file but it doesn't let me install and give me this message:
No Bluetooh device was detected. Please make sure that your Bluetooth device is plugged in properly in order to continue installation.
So, Please suggest me any solution if anybody have.

Hi Vipin,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that Bluetooth device is not working on ThinkPad R61.
To resolve the issue please right click on computer and go to manage, in device manger check if there is any yellow mark in any of the adapter in it.
If it is showing any yellow mark then not all the drivers are installed in your system.
If there is no yellow mark, then you can check with installing Lenovo power manager application and restart the system.
After restarting the system press Fn+F5 to enable the Bluetooth device.
Below is the link to enter the downloads page and download updates accordingly, please click on "Select Product" then in "QUICK PATH" enter the MTM no. select the exact model.

Hope this helps!

Bluetooth not available in Windows 8.1 for ProBook 6360b

Installed Windows 8.1 64-bit on ProBook 6360b, however I am unable to turn on bluetooth in Windows.
In Wireless devices section in the pictur below, there should be "Bluetooth" to turn on/off, but it is completelly missing.
Checked in BIOS - Bluetooth is present. In Windows services, "Bluetooth support service" is running.
I only cannot see any Bluetooth device in Device manager, I might be missing a driver. However, HP driver search for my OS does not provide Bluetooth driver...
THANK YOU!

BIOS shows "Embedded Bluetooth device" and checked next to it. I don't think it would do so if it wasn't there.
As for device manager, it would not show Bluetooth if it has no driver, which seems to be my case. There is one "Unknown device" in the Device manager, and I suspect it is Bluetooth. Unfortunatelly I an not able to find drivers.
"And if you update to W8.1 but have no driver support for it then if you want help you need to go back to Windows 7 to get the right help." ?! I am asking for help to find the driver, going back to Win7 will not help much
Going in reverse from W8/8.1 to W7 one has a better chance of finding drivers from matching model that were of W7 that can work on W8/8.1 machine but not the other way around.

Bluetooth not working with Windows 7

I have a Lenovo t61 that I installed Windows 7 on. The bluetooth looks like it's all loaded, updated and operating normally. However it never shows any bluetooth device after searching. This includes several cell phones, mouse and key boards. My other T40 with XP sees all these devices and connects with no problem. This has an internal Broadcom BCm2045B. I have been researching and tried every driver I could find. The Broadcom update program (SetupBtwDownloadSE) stops and says it can update the hardware. I have the Windows Mobile loaded to take care of the 'other bluetooth devices'.
I spent a couple of hours with the MS tech and he found no fix saying it's a Lenovo driver problem. I am out of warranty so Lenovo won't talk to me. After 2 weeks I have tried all the easy stuff... the bluetooth is on. It is set to allow bluetooth devices. Lenovo and MS say there are no updates to be had. The BIOS is up to date. I tried at least 40 different drivers.
I am going to get an external dongle but I hate to think this beat me - us.
If anybody has anything that is not a standard press fn5 to turn on the radio please let me know.
Thanks!
Solved!

Hello,
Have you tried using the Fn+F5 key combination to toggle the Bluetooth hardware off and then on again via the Wireless Radio screen? I have found sometimes that doing so sometimes fixes problems with the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules not recognizing other devices/networks.

IPOD suddenly not seen by windows any more - I am desperate!

PLEASE HELP ME!
I have been using my 30Gb ipod happily since Xmas with no problems at all, until suddenly 1 week ago my main computer (through which I synch my ipod with itunes) stopped recognising the IPOD (not found in device manager or my computer etc), but continues to charge the ipod normally (ie the charging icon appears).
I have gone through document Knowledge Base Document #61711 and done everything to no avail.(When I say everything, that is except carry out the restore option which I can't do beacuse the updater doesnt see the ipod - why do they put this advice if windows not recognising ipod?)
I have tried plugging the ipod into other computers and the same happens - they charge the ipod but do not see it, even in disk mode.
I don't know what else to try. Is it possible to manually restore the ipod? I managed to get through to some diagnostic tool on the ipod manually (M25 diagnostic) by clicking left and select after the resetting, and the automatic diagnostic didnt find anything wrong??
Any ideas? Please help as this is now getting me down..

OK my ipod is a Nano 5th Gen and the Mrs is 2nd gen, as soon as i plug her ipod into my win 7 pc it comes up fine in both explorer and itunes so my system is working fine i guess.
However when ever i plug my in nothing happen, not showing up in itunes or windows explorer or right clicking on my computer and selecting "Manage" right clicking "Disk Management" or "Device Manager" there is NO mention of Apple device, tried resetting it by turning lock on then off then menu/centre button, which did reset the ipod but still not showing up in either windows or ituens.
Just wondering what i'm missing her, I do have access to the mrs laptop with ituens on but of course it has her music on, **** while i was typing i got hers out plugged my ipod into her laptop and again nothing in itunes or explorer so i'm 99.9% the issue is with my Nano.
So is she dead and times to go and buy something new or does anyone have any suggestions for a fix?

Try one or more of the following:
Restart your computer
Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
Reset iPod (will not delete everything)
Check in My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if it shows
Restore iPod (will delete everything)
Make sure iTunes and iOS firmware is up to date

iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
