Bluetooth on but not connecting to devices

I am unable to have my MacBook Pro connect to bluetooth devices. I have a new Bose wireless speaker that works fine with my iPhone but not to the MacBook. The MacBook does not see any bluetooth devices but it does say that the MacBook is discoverable. Any suggestion would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tony

Bluetooth Set Up But Not Connected Blackberry vCards

Problem: I'm trying to send vCards to my new Blackberry Pearl 8120, but cannot get the mac to send the file to the Bluetooth phone.
1. Bluetooth connectivity IS turned on in Sharing Preferences.
2. When I run "Set Up Bluetooth Device" it finds the phone, no problem.
But in Bluetooth preferences it lists the phone as "Discoverable" and "Paired" but "not connected."
The only time I've gotten a green light for "connected" is when the set-up was running.
Help!
How do I send vCards to the phone - I DO NOT want to type all this stuff over again, not, in this day and age, should I have to.
Seriously - I've seen other posts on similar subjects all unanswered - Mac Support, where are you?

Attached is a list of HP Airprint enabled printers. Your printer is not on this list. If it is wireless, you can purchase an App from the App Store, which will allow you to print. Printopia and Print Central are two which are recommended, both cost about $9 (US).

iOS devices do not have the BT profiles that support file sharing and othr general functions. See:
iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
Basically it support headphones, keyboards, speakers, peer-to-peer gaming

Bluetooth paired with Photosmart but NOT connected.

Bluetooth connection on android device says paired with Photosmart but NOT connected. How do I get connected?

You can always manage or configure the switch via HyperTerminal. You can connect the PC to a serial cable and access the switch via the serial port. Hyper Terminal doesn’t depend on the IP address of the switch so you can manage it. To access the switch via Hyper Terminal, follow this link:

Guestnetwork is visible but I can not connect any device

Hi there,
I us an Airport Time Capsuale, Version 7.7.1.
I created a Guestnet, all fine so far.
Now I try to connect with my Iphone or Ipad to test it and I can not connect.
I can see the Guestnet, I type in the password and the device is trying to connect. trying trying trying but not connecting.
Going back to my private Network, all fine, direct connection.
Any idea what is missing or happening to work proper?
Thanks and best regards,
Michael

The first thing to check is the setting for Router Mode on the Time Capsule.
Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule, click Edit, and click the Network tab at the top of the window.
Check the setting for Router Mode. If it is now set to "Off (Bridge Mode)" the Guest Network feature will not operate correctly in that setting.....unless....you have another Apple router on the network that is acting as the "main" router for the network.
Can you provide the make and model number of your "modem"?
It is possible that the Time Capsule needs to be in Bridge Mode to work correctly with your "modem".
If this is the case, then unfortunately it will not be possible to enable the Guest Network feature using the modem that you have.

Trying to transfer pictures from device to BB desktop pictures but not connecting.

hi
Trying to transfer pictures from device to BB desktop pictures but not connecting.
seems i was able to back up.
downloaded new software to desktop while BB was connected vis USA to computer.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well the new Desktop Manager can ONLY sync up with a Media Card. You would need to download Desktop Manager 4 with Roxio Media Manager to access the device memory.

Bluetooth Mouse can not connect...

Hi All, I am aware this is an issue however can not figure out how to resolve it. I have a 2007 macbook 2.16 dual core I'm using a bluetooth mouse which works perfectly with Mac OSX Lion. However when I switch to Bootcamp running Windows 7 64 bit, the mouse can not connect. The computer will find the mouse but when I click on the mouse icon in the bluetooth setup to continue installation the circle spins and spins and says connecting to device and nothing happens. The mouse works and bluetooth works, but not in bootcamp. I am tech savy so hit me with your best shot. Thank you!!

Vnahaze2000, I still haven't figured out the problem. Try this website, it's from apple. There are drivers you can install which will hopefully alleviate your problem. I downloaded every driver and unfortunatelly no luck. But maybe it will help you. http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents Good luck!!

Bluetooth speaker does not connect automatically in windows 8.1

before the upgrade (?) to 8.1,if i turned on my bluetooth speaker,it automatically took over from the speakers of my laptop.No drivers,no further changes needed.
After upgrading to 8.1 i have to disconnect the speaker,connect it again,then set the speaker as my standard speaker.then it plays.every time again and again.
how do i fix this?

Me too. It shows that it connects and briefly reads "Connected" and then quickly switches to "Not Connected". My Windows Phone 8, when trying to connect to Windows 8.1 PC via Bluetooth is doing the same thing and I
receive this both from the PC and the phone. My phone does successfully connect to my Bluetooth speaker, but not from the PC only from the phone. Has this been fixed yet and I missed it? One thing
I've learned while being a part of a smaller market share having had a Windows Phone for several years now, the solutions come quietly and sometimes go unnoticed. Only later will I find myself thinking, "Oh yeah it works now, they've created a solution".
Case in point: Red Laser stopped working then shortly thereafter there was the Eye icon available at the Bing screen that can scan just about anything that can be scanned. Is there a similar thing happening with my Bluetooth device drivers from my 8.1
PC and I need to manually push something? When there is a solution, will you please alert me and the rest of this thread? Thanks much in advance!

Targus bluetooth mouse will not connect in bootcamp

I have a Targus blueetooth mouse that will not connect in bootcamp. It has worked fine for a long time in XP and 7. Then I upgraded the haddrive and had to do a lean install of Windows 7 and the Apple bootcamp 5. Now it will not connect at all. I have the "Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth" seleted , it sees the mouse but it tries to connect and just stalls. This is very frustrating since without the mouse it is nearly impossible to troubleshoot Windows.

Bluetooth mouse will not connect my wireless mouse...
what works +every time+ for me :
use your fingers to move the cursor up to the bluetooth icon (top right of display)
click bluetooth icon, select user mouse / connect
then quickly move the cursor up (with fingers) so it touches or is very close to the bluetooth icon
and start clicking with your mouse (making sure the mouse is on obviously).
I have NO idea why but this works on my MacBookPro everytime. If I try to connect without moving the cursor near the BT icon it won't connect (or takes at least 10 trys).

Please help, I don't know what to do. My configurations: MIDP 2.1, CLDC 1.1.
Thanks in advance.

Edit: I succeeded to solve it accidentally. I did the following: Sign the jar in Netbeans, clean and build, the jar didn't work, I wiped out the .ks from the jar and clean and build again. Now it worked.

What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

If you have multiple devices backing up to the Cloud, you will see all of them listed. You would click on each device to change what is backed up from that device. You can then delete your individual back-ups.
Once you have all your settings to your liking, you can then go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and click on Back Up Now (bottom of the screen) to create a fresh backup with your new settings.

Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery?

Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery? We use an ipad cart at school, and some of the teachers will connect all the ipads up to the cart, but then neglect to power up the cart. The laptop with the cart has already had the battery wrecked because of this (within a two month period), and I am concerned the ipads may have an issue if this continues to happen. I need some reassurance before I make the other teachers paranoid!

ok this one is kind in the gray area for me. I say if it is plugged in to a power up cart but not plugged in to a outlet, then all is is doing is not charing, and of course lossing a charge over time in standby, not really causing any issues. User guide and apple sites say it will drain the battery life.
Important: The iPad battery may drain instead of charge if iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, to a USB hub, or to the USB port on a keyboard.
however “Battery life” means the time your iPad will run before it must be recharged.
so I think it will be ok, as long as you charge it as usaul it should be fine.
just use these links for and understanding for batteries and the ipad, of course the user guide.
