Bluetooth settings

This should be an easy one, but I can't get it to work.
Is there a way to make "bluetooth enabled" the default option on my 8830?  Whenever I "enable" it in Manage Connections, it stays "enabled" for a while, but seems to have reset to "disabled" when I get in the car again. I'd like to leave it enabled -- even if that uses additional battery -- so that it can sync with my car without having to go thru a whole new setup (find devices, etc.) everytime I get in.
Thanks.

Please confirm the following - Go to Bluetooth Options -> click Menu button and select Options -> Discoverable: On.
Now turn on your Bluetooth as long as you want to...

  • MacBook won't wake up from sleep and Bluetooth Settings (Possible fix)

    Hi,
    I rest my SMC as per the instructions. I've done this a few times before and it my system sleeps one time correctly then glitches as previously noted. However, this time I did not use any Bluetooth device but I was connected to the internet via my wireless router. The computer has successfully entered 'sleep' and woke up several times without a glitch (white light flashing in front during sleep).
    I the tried various Bluetooth settings starting with switching ALL the choices listed under the Bluetooth Advanced tab to off. I then switched on my Bluetooth mouse, used it for a while then I switched off the mouse (Microsoft Notebook Mouse 5000) and waited for the laptop to give the 'lost connection' notice. Once the notice disappeared I close the lid and the system entered sleep again (white light flashing in front) and woke without a hitch.
    Next I restored the default Bluetooth Advanced tab settings including the ‘Allow Bluetooth device to wake system’, reconnected the Bluetooth mouse and used it for a while before closing the lid and placing the computer in sleep mode. I left the mouse on. Something very interesting happened…….the system properly entered sleep mode with the front white light flashing, I then intentionally moved the Bluetooth mouse and the system tried to wake with the lid closed. I saw the Apple logo light up briefly then shut off AND I also heard the Superdrive mechanism respond. The white light in the front of the system stopped flashing and just stayed on. The system would not wake. I had to hold the power button down till the white sleep indicator light shut off the boot the system back up. It is important to note that I DID NOT reset the SMC.
    Once the system rebooted I made one change to the Bluetooth Advanced tab settings, Specifically, I switched off the ‘Allow Bluetooth device to wake system’. I used reconnected my Bluetooth mouse by turning it on. Used it for a while then closed the lid. The system entered sleep again (white light flashing in front) and woke without a hitch. The sleep mode works equally well now if I close the lid or select sleep from the menu.
    I realize this may not help everyone but it has aleviated this problem, at least for the present on my system. I hope this helps some folks as well as the Apple techs.

    Hi,
    Just an update, it has now been one week since I modified my Bluetooth setting as per my post above. The computer is still going to sleep and waking without problems.

  • Hidden Bluetooth settings in 10.9 for serial

    The new OS 10.9 Maverick hides the Bluetooth settings, I am no longer able to add new serial ports for my Bluetooth devices in order to connect to them via the screen command (screen /dev/tty.Bluetooth...).
    I'm interfacing my phone with my computer and need a serial port to communication, this needs to be set up in the Bluetooth settings. As of the new OS it has been dumbed-down so much that these settings do not exist anymore. Funny thing is when you search for "serial" in the system preferences window it will only highlight the Bluetooth settings:
    Please give back these settings, I'm no longer able to work with my computer because of this.

    I'm hoping the original poster has found some way to remedy this situation since this is an old topic. I do wonder how far you are all getting into the process, from what I can tell once you pair a device & connect to it you get new entries under /dev. One for a tty and one for a call up device (cu…). You may have others depending on the device capabilities.
    ls /dev
         /dev/cu.DeviceName-SerialPort
         /dev/tty.DeviceName-SerialPort
    Are they not the connections you are looking for? I'm not sure that you need to see the serial ports in the GUI to be able to use them via Terminal.
    Please tell me what I'm missing.

  • Bluetooth settings for BT Arc Mouse lost on restart since upgrade

    Upgraded OSX last night and on restart my Bluetooth BT Arc Touch mouse is not working.
    I remove the mouse from the bluetooth settings and, resetting the mouse, it then finds the device and I pair the mouse again.
    It works!
    Then when I shutdown my MacBook Pro, next time I switch on the mouse does not work again.  Its showing as "Not Connected" in the bluetooth settings.
    Very, very frustrating.
    Have downloaded latest Arc Touch mouse drivers but no fix.
    Any ideas?

    PS.
    In menu bar, bluetooth icon states "Bluetooth: Not Available".
    Bluetooth is switched on.
    The mouse is blinking red and green which means "Device is discoverable (trying to connect to the transceiver)."

  • How do i u acsess my bluetooth settings thru my phone to change name etc. Also cant connect to any devices

    How do i u acsess my bluetooth settings thru my phone to change name etc. Also cant connect to any devices

    What devices are you trying to connect to, and are they in pairing mode? Is the phone in pairing mode? The iPhone only connects to audio devices and to computers for tethering. You cannot use BlueTooth on an iPhone for file transfers to other phones or computers.

  • TS3048 Keyboard won't link and screen is locked, I cant access Bluetooth settings

    My keyboard won't link and screen is locked, I cant access Bluetooth settings. What do I do?

    First make sure the batteries aren't dead and that the keyboard hasn't already been paired with another device. If it hasn't, the keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
    Otherwise see these support articles:
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 and later) and iMac (Late 2012): Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
    Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
    If you have a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, you may need a wired keyboard to complete the pairing process. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.

    Can we have them back??

    Hi,
    I am having the same problem, could you find a solution?
    Do you know if there is way to do the same thing from terminal?
    Since I am pretty new to this advanced configuration, do you think this software could be useful for our case:

    You need to put the headset into pairing mode. The phone should then see it even though you have done the forget this device.

  • Palm TX: Bluetooth settings lost after soft reset

    Hi all,
    all my bluetooth settings get lost, when I perform a soft reset. Does anyone have a hint which files are getting deleted or "updated" from the ROM so I can restore them from a backup? Or do you perhaps have a solution so that the settings won't get deleted?
    Thank you very much in advance!
    Cheers!

    I too have a problem with resets while using the Palm Bluetooth Keyboard 3245WW but i think my resets are only limited within Wordsmith when pressing the Delete/Del key. Try seeing if your problem is related to one particular key... though admitedly i use a T3 not a TX and i have read about others on the TX experiencing random resets. I am just wondering if it is tied to the Delete key like my problem.
    My fix for my problem was to stuff some paper under the Delete key so i wont accedentally press it while typing.

  • Cannot open Bluetooth Settings HP DV8T-1000

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit.
    I have the HP DV8T-1000 with built in bluetooth.
    The software for the bluetooth in installed (in fact I uninstalled and reinstalled it).  Everything says "the device is working properly" however if I right click the bluetooth icon, then click "open bluetooth settings" nothing happens.
    When I click on show bluetooth devices it just searches forever and finds nothing.
    When I click on add a device it never finds my discoverable Motorola S305 headset.
    I have checked on the HP website and I have the latest drivers installed.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I think if I could get into the bluetooth settings perhaps I could solve the problem. Who knows.

    This question was solved.

    Thanks so much for the advice. It helped me solve the problem!
    When I ran services.msc I saw 2 items for Bluetooth:
    Bluetooth Service - Handles installation and removal of bluetooth devices - Started - Automatic
    Bluetooth Support Service - The bluetooth service supports discovery and association of remote bluetooth devices. stopping or disabling this service may cause already installed bluetooth devices to fail to operate properly and prevent new devices from being discovered or associated. - Disabled
    Took some effort to get "bluetooth support service" started but once I did I could then open bluetooth options. 
    I still could not sync my device though. Next I checked to see if it would now show up as already installed and it did. I clicked the connect button but got an error.
    Next I deleted the device and re-discovered it. Now it all works great! 
    Thanks so much!

  • Problems with new iMac (Alu) after Migration with the Bluetooth settings

    Hallo, at first, apology for my bad English
    I have bought a new iMac 24". After Migration of my datas from my "old" one (iMac 20" C2D) it works all very fine. The only thing that don´t work is the Bluetooth Settings. When i want to install a new device, there is no text in the Window, only a few characters...
    Can anyone help me??

    Try downloading and installing the 10.4.10 Combo update. Let the update run alone. Don't use the Mac for anything else while it installs the update, including Airport and Bluetooth. Use a wired keyboard and mouse if you can.
    Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update v1.1 (Intel)
    Repair Disk Permissions after the update is installed and you have restarted the Mac.

    System Preferences->BlueTooth and turn it off. Restart and see if that fixes the problem.

  • How to connect MyLink in Bluetooth settings

    How do I get MyLink in Bluetooth setting to conect on my iPhone 5S

    I'm not sure what MyLink is, but I would check with the manufacturer about how to pair with a Bluetooth device. To get the iPhone into discovery/pairing mode, you go into Settings and turn on Bluetooth.
