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!
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

HT4628 my powerbook g4 os x 10.5.8 leopard is showing-Connection time out while connecting to the wifi.however it showing all available wifi connections around but not connecting it..however ethernet is working

Problem while connecting with Wi-Fi,
When i am connecting my powerbook g4 leopard to any Wi-fi connection it showing -Connection time out, however Ethernet is working .I have updated all softwares but still same problem.

It's possible that either the internal AirPort Extreme card or the antenna is faulty or has failed.
One last thing to try before going with another Wi-Fi solutions is to the following:
Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)
3. Run the Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions.
Restart or log out then back in.
4. Turn off the Mac OS X Firewall
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
Click the "Stop" button.
5. Create a New User Account
System Preferences > Accounts
Click "+" to add a new account
Log off, then log back on with the new user account.
Try connecting with the AirPort.
If none of these help resolve the issue, you may want to consider getting a USB wireless adapter to replace both the internal card and antenna. One such vendor of these adapters is Other World Computing (OWC).

I phone 6 plus bluetooth not finding my mac, however my mac does find my i phone, how to make bluetooth to view my mac?

I am having an issue with airdrop, my mac does see my iphone and can send to it without problems however my i phone 6 plus does not see the mac or any other devise for that matter. blue tooth is on and the icon is on as well. but is blind. However other devises see it and even interact with it.
Any ideas how to solve this?

There's nothing to solve, as it is working the way intended. See: Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with my computer?

Since upgrading to Mavericks the "search" function in mailbox does not show any results, however spotlight is working fine.

The search function on my mailbox is not responding after trying to search my mailbox. I am able to search my mailboxes through Spotlight though. This seems to be since upgrading to mavericks.
I was wandering if anyone has this problem and knows how I can resolve it.
Thank you

Hmmm,
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

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.

WINDOWS 8.1 BLUETOOTH NOT WORKING AFTER UPDATE ON ACER V3-571......Solved!!!!!!

Hello everyone, if anyone has had the horrible task of trying to get his or her bluetooth working after upgrading to windows 8.1, then look no further. It took me hours and hours of faffing and fist raging, but in the end, there can be only one. Anyway...Here is your solution.....Ps! I already upgraded to Windows 10, but went back to 8.1 as it trashed my PC and cost me 3.5 half days of painstaking re-install to get my laptop to work again. (WINDOWS 10...DONT BOTHER IN MY OPINION) I have : ACER V3-571 64 BIT WIN 8.1 AGAIN. . IF YOU UPGRADE THIS LAPTOP TO WINDOWS 10...YOUR DOLBY V4 WILL STOP WORKING...was the start of a new nightmare for me. MICROSOFT UPGRADE YOUR ACER WITH THEIR OWN DRIVERS WHEN YOU UPGRADE TO A NEW OPERATING SYSTEM, OFTEN THIS LEADS TO STUPID FIDDLY THINGS LIKE APPS AND APPLICATIONS NO LONGER WORKING.... SO here we go!!! SOLUTION TO BLUETOOTH NOT WORKING V3-571 ACER WIN 8.1 64-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------1) Switch off your bluetooth .........search top right screen > Settings > Bluetooth > Toggle off!2) Right Click your windows logo on the left hand side of your screen > device manager > Bluetooth >Uninstall totally the bluetooth driver and or delete.3) Exit device manager.4) www.google. > find acer drivers > acer website. On website to find drivers, use auto detect serial number > go to your downloads folder >open downloaded auto detector > copy serial number> back to asking box for your serial number >right click > Paste serial number.5)Select operating system from drop down menu (typically windows 8.1)6Drivers > Select Bluetooth Qualcom Atheros Driver 647) Go to downloads on your pc8) Right click the downloaded bluethooth qualcom atheros zip folder > > extract here9) Go into unzipped bluetooth folder > Double Click the installer Icon > Run installer10) Restart PC11) Boom!!! Happy Days.....Nightmare over. YOUR BLUETOOTH WILL NOW CRUISE Hope this will help other people, I had a nightmare for a good few hours trying to get my bluetooth to work again after upgrading to Win 8.1 FROM Win 8.

I am not bothering with windows 10 my friend, it is too much of an newbe baby at the moment and there are just too many bug fixes need doing in my opinion. I did manage to get my dolby home theatre to work again in windows 10, but it was an awful dulled down version with only half the features of the original that came with the version that was on my pc. My plan is to stick to windows 8.1 until it's death. When they withdrawl all the security patches for windows 8.1 and it becomes obsolete, then I will be forced to trash my pc again and go to windows 10, was not much fun mind spending 3.5 days putting everything back to its former state. Hope they do make windows 10 more stable and fix a lot of the bugs. I tried opening videos and pictures in windows 10.... result = missing element errors.... and error, error, error,,, So I think I will wait until 28 July 16 to when the last day of my free upgrade and reservation to windows 10 becomes mandatory. (This is I day before my year to upgrade expires). Thanks for your post. Will

Sending SMS via Bluetooth not working

Hi,
I have two Nokia phones, an N73 and an older 6600. I was able to pair both with the Bluetooth in my MacBook Pro SR.
I can access the web via dial-up networking, so that's working fine.
However, I am unable to send SMS via AddressBook over the phone. When I click the little connect-to-bluetooth button in AddressBook, I am first asked to pair the phone - even though it's already paired, and connects automatically on both the computer and the phone. Then, when I do enter the code on the phone, the connection just fails. The button gets a slight blue outline but the B symbol doesn't actually light up as it should.
Send SMS remains grayed out.
Has anybody got this to work or know what could be wrong?
PS: I am able to send SMS on Windows using MS SMS Sender, so I am sure that it's not the phone's fault.
This worked fine with my Titanium Powerbook with USB Bluetooth dongle.

Thanks for the response, but that's not it. The N73 is listed as supported, and iSync works perfectly well. Dial-Up networking also works perfectly well.
Only sending SMS via bluetooth doesn't work.
Also - no idea if this is related - faxing via the 6600 doesn't work anymore, which is strange because it used to work on the TiBook. Most people don't even know you can fax via Bluetooth phone and most newer phones have lost this capability so I guess this is just on its way out. Too bad because it was pretty useful...

Y580 Win8 - bluetooth not working

Hi
I upgraded to windows 8 professional an most things are working pretty good. However there are some things that aren't working quite right.
After the upgrade the bluetooth stopped working. I went to the driver matrix and selected my computer from the list and downloaded the bluetooth driver for windows 8 64bit. When i try to run it, it says there is no appropriate driver to instal.
Another small problem is the touchpad. It works and lots of the gestures work, but some are missing. I also tried to download the driver from the driver matrix. I downloaded the windows 8 64bit driver. When I try to run it, it says to run the 64bit version of the driver, and to contact customer support. I tried redownloading the driver to make sure I was using the 64bit version, and got the same result.
Everything else seems to be working great.
Any ideas how to get bluetooth to work (main concern)?
Adam.

Hi Adam,
So, I had this same problem on a fresh OEM install of windows 8 pro. No bluetooth, the trackpad was nearly useless and there was an unknown device in device manager. I tried just about everything I could as well as a few of the tricks listed here and nothing worked. So, I eventually got ahold of the windows 8 drivers from various global support sites and decided to do a reinstall -- it worked -- and here's what I did:
(I'm not a hacker or technician, just a tinkerer -- but my fiddling worked out.)
As near as I can guess, I believe that the drivers for windows 8 are very pickey about when and what partition type they are installed to. It appears that Win 8 will allow you to install it onto any NTFS formatted drive (logical or other) and this creates a problem with the drivers.(?) I decided to re-install Win 8 on a standard format NTFS in x64 (I purchased an aftermarket mSATA SSD, so the reinstall was being done without effecting the original install.) Again -- I made certain that the format was a zero frills NTFS! I had already created a driver disk with the collected drivers that I took from the internet, however Windows told me that there were "no signed drivers present", I decided to continue and windows intalled as usual. When I attempted to install the drivers this time round everything went fine and all of my Lenovo Fn keys, power manager, bluetooth, touchpad, etc. started working fine.
So, just to check I did a reinstall on the original disk after re-partitioning using the original drivers and that worked too.
So, the closest that I can figure without doing some linear troubleshooting by recreating the problem is that A: Windows 8 is really pickey about disk formats. and B: Some of the drivers on the Lenovo US site haven't updated.
Again -- I'm not claiming that I understand exactly why this is happening or how I fixed it for myself, but there you have it.
Cheers and good luck,
Aaron
P.S. The SSD and this computer are totally awesome, I really hope you get everything working okay.

I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

Do not worry about it.
Time Machine needs that your external drive is formatted in HFS+, or better known as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". This filesystem is used by Apple on Macs and Windows cannot read or write drives formatted with this filesystem, being this the reason why all your devices do not read the external drive except your Mac.
You can only use your external drive to make Time Machine drives. If you store anything different, you may damage the Time Machine structure, so it is better not to use it as a drive to store other data. Instead, get another external drive to do it or create a second partition on the external drive formatted in FAT32 by using Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html FAT32 can be read by Windows PCs

I have iphone 6 with ios 8.1.1. The bluetooth pairs with my sony car radio and everything works fine. However, the iphone won't stop searching for other devices.

I have an iPhone 6 with ios 8.1.1 operating system. The Bluetooth pairs with my Sony car radio and works fine. However, the iPhone will not stop searching for other devices. This does not seem to affect anything, but I can't help but think it is using battery power.

One possibility:
How do you know it is searching for other devices? Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?

Mac Pro USB ports and bluetooth not working

I have a Mac Pro (early 2008) Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 2.8 GHz, 4GB ram, Airport card, Magic Mouse. Suddenly the keyboard and wired/bluetooth Mouse are unavailable, so it is not possible to control the computer. The only way I can use it is by using Screen Sharing from my MacBook Pro - which is obviously pretty useless except for diagnostics! All the USB ports (front and back, as well as those on the Cinema Display - when connected) are dead. System profiler shows no problem with them, but also shows nothing connected. Bluetooth in menu bar shows as "Bluetooth: not available", and in system profiler shows as "No information found".
I've tried all the usual remedies. Powering off overnight with power cord disconnected, all peripherals disconnected, then booting up again. Holding in the power button for ten seconds when the power cord is disconnected. Obviously I can't reset the pRAM (because the keyboard is not recognised, even before the OS loads). The first couple of times I tried this process, it did bring back the USB ports, even the bluetooth became temporarily available, but soon disappeared again. USB ports died next time I rebooted.
However, in the last couple of days, the process produces no results. No matter how long I leave it disconnected, USB ports are not working and bluetooth is just not there...
I've checked for other threads on this topic, but most other people seem to have issues with either front or back USB ports, or even just one or more individual ports. My problems have only been with all ports or none.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get my MacPro up and running again properly?

Just waking this thread up again in case anyone has had any other ideas.
Since last posting, usb became functional again, (came back on a couple of hours after a restart) and as long as I kept the machine alive, usb would stay alive. Bluetooth came back on briefly, but for most of the time was unavailable. System profiler shows no problems and Console does not report any usb related errors as far as I can see.
After a recent restart, usb disappeared again, and despite numerous restarts and being left on for a couple of days (and subsequently left off for several days) it has not come back. When usb is not working, examining the system profiler (through screen sharing from my macbook) usb shows no errors, but also shows no connected devices. I can charge my ipod nano with any of the usb ports (front or back), so power does not seem to be the issue.
I can't reset pRAM (because the keyboard is not available at boot), but have reset SMC numerous times. Have tried other keyboards, and mice. No joy.
I seem to have run out of ideas. Any suggestions?

Bluetooth not working - T61 - PLEASE HELP :(

I read a few of other threads about bluetooth not working on T61.
What I tried:
Enabling the bluetooth adapter from BIOS (was already enabled)
No light showing up on the front of the laptop (turns on very briefly when I turn the laptop on)
Tried fn+f5 and it wont turn on (wi fi is).
I installed hotkey driver, rebooted a few times, still nothing.
When installing bluetooth driver, it says the device couldn't be found.
I used bluetooth before, then I reinstalled windows 7 and it stopped working.
Any ideas?

I got the same problem and it seems like Lenovo just don't care about it. I've already installed all the updates from Lenovo and Windows and newest Bluetooth drivers from Broadcom....still nothing.
