Bluetooth paired my devices but not connected

Hi everyone,
I have this problem and maybe someone could help.
Devices to pair
Blackberry 7100
GlobalSat Bluetooth GPS BT 338
I have managed to get them paired and that is where everything starts to "not work". The embarassing thing is that I brought my macbook to the shop that sells the GPS and after telling everyone how cool the macbook is, I couldn't connect the Bluetooth GPS.
I need the gps for my field assignment and if I can't get it to connect, I'll just use my windows laptop. I still think the mac is cool though and if I can find the solution, I'd feel vindicated.
Thanks

Hi:
There are no dumb questions...answers, yes, but not questions. Sometime I use acronyms and forget that I should explain things a bit more.
Resetting those two things sometimes helps and cannot hurt.

If that does not help, delete the phone from your computer (system preferences>Bluetooth), restart, and then add it back in:

P.S. If everything fails and you are near an Apple store, make an appointment with a "genius" and take the devices in for them to assist.

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:

Bluetoothctl successfully pairs with device but cannot connect

Hello,
I'm trying to get my phone (nexus 4) to connect to my computer. I have bluez and bluez-utils installed. I've been able to successfully pair the device with my phone, but I can't connect to it.
Here's some output from bluetoothctl:
$ bluetoothctl

I'm trying to set up my phone to send keyboard input to act as a kind of remote control for pianobar. Does anyone have an idea why this might not connect?
-Nia
EDIT: I've looked into the problem a little bit more and it seems like it has something to do with audio. I've set the default agent to KeyboardOnly, but the error still persists. Despite this, I've tried installing pulseaudio-git, which hasn't messed anything in my system up just yet, but has done nothing to fix the problem. I also tried reverting to bluez4. bluetoothctl refused to acknowledge hci0 (my device) and wouldn't work, the bluez commands worked somewhat, bluez-simple agent works, but you need to specify hci0 before the address, this works. Any other bluez command will fail. I've reinstalled bluez since (bluez5).

My device is an IX12-300r with 4.08 firmware. I have 4 volumes setup as iSCSI targets. Two were the orinigal volumes on the drives that came with the device and are still accessible. Those are working, fortunately, and still able to be connected as iSCSI targets.  I purchased 4 x 3 TB drives in December and setup two more volumes as iSCSI targets for additional resources on our servers/network. All worked well with the new volumes/iSCSI targets until 3 weeks ago when the system was restarted.    Now, althoug all the volumes are still present, the iSCSI page on the Web UI shows only the two original volumes are iSCSI targets. The new volumes are not present there and therefor not accessible from the Microsoft iSCSI initiator.    I've installed the Lenovo Storage Manager for Windows: Version 1.4.4.14439 to check if it could connect the other targets, but sadly no.
So I called Lenovo to see if I could get some support, knowin that it was out of warranty, and so expecting to pay per incident. BUT that's no longer available, and they don't offer extended warranties on out of warranty products. SO BUY an extended warranty NOW if you plan on keeping this product. Better yet ditch it and get something that offers support beyond "I'm sorry we can't help you at all. I suggest you call data recovery service if you want your data back".        :- P
Any idea how much it would cost to recover 4 TB of data?!?
This product is being ruined by Lenovo and their decisions to remove support options previously available. I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND anyone using these products to think twice!   Also, I'm an IT consultant and have been steering all my clients away from ANY LENOVO products, Thinkpads, Servers, desktops, to avoid runnning into this kind of issues. My reputation is on the line when I make recommendations to my customers and cannot possibly consider using products with this kind of support.

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).

I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

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.

HT1766 I'm trying to update my first Ipad (versions 4.2.1). Device is recognised by the computer. Advise to upgrade to 5.1x given but then followed by the message that device is not connected to internet. Connection with upgrade server not possible.

Whilst connected to the internet (reading news and sending messages) I cannot upgrade my Ipad with an error message that my device is not connected to internet. Update server can not be reached?
Any ideas.
Ipad 1, version 4.2.1

I tried resetting the ipad, switched off wifi, checked date and time.

After trying to sync my ipad to a new pc, i get this error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed. the device is not connected." but it is connected.

I have been trying sync my ipad to a new pc and I get this message after the sync fails:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed. The device is not connected."
The device is connected, what is wrong here?

This is a common problem that is most likely caused by files that are not marked to have proper read/write permissions.
To solve this problem, follow these steps.
1. Close iTunes.
2. Using the finder, Ctrl-click the folder that contains your music files, then select Get Info.
3. Ensure that the Owner is set to have Read & Write privileges. Choose to Apple to enclosed items…
Once you have modified permissions, fire up iTunes and try to sync your music again. If it throws the same error message and still doesn’t work, research more about permissions in Mac OS X, as there could be something else not right with the permissions of your music files.

Help setting up Bluetooth on phone/Mac! "Not Connected"

Hi,
I recently just got a new Motorola phone, its the same model phone I have been using for 2 years. My bluetooth was set up fine before, but I have been trying to set up my bluetooth between my new phone/Mac, and it hasn't been working.
I paired both items to each other (with the PIN..etc), but when I select "Add Audio Device" on my mobile phone, it says "Macbook pro not supported", and on my bluetooth on my Mac it says its paired, but "Not Connected".
I remember when I setup the bluetooth on my old phone I had to make one change to get the "Not Connected" to say "Connected" on my Mac...but I can't remember what it was.
Any help would be great, Thanks!
