Bluetooth suddenly no longer works

All of a sudden, bluetooth has utterly failed on my wife's Mac Pro. I have no idea why. The USB Bluetooth host adapter shows up under the system profiler, but the bluetooth tab simply says "no information."
***?!

Turns out there was a USB device plugged in that was causing this.

Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works after OSX update

After installing the latest OSX update yesterday (something about iChat encryption), Apple Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works with my iMac.
When I restarted the iMac after installation was completed, the iMac would no longer recognise my Bluetooth Apple wireless keyboard. I've tried with 2 other Apple wireless keyboards as well, but to no avail. None of them work with the iMac any longer. All 3 keyboards work with my PowerMac Quad G5 though.
The iMac "sees" the keyboards, but the pairing doesn't go through because the iMac doesn't seem to recognise the keystrokes when entering the pairing code.
I had to go out and buy myself a Microsoft wired keyboard to be able to restart the iMac (couldn't enter the login password without a keyboard).
My bluetooth mighty mouse works flawlessly though.
Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

And yes I checked the batteries.

HT201401 My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices

My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices. Anyone ever had this issue?
Thanks

Can you connect from your phone to another BT device, not the car? If you haven't ,I'd try a reset of the phone by holding the home and power button down. Next step would be to talk to your dealership and see if they have any ideas. Sometimes software can either get updated on iOS or on the vehicle and it can cause problems. Every dealership seems to have a go-to person that handles issues like this. Getting to know him or her well and getting their direct phone number will pay big dividends. A device restore might be necessary, but if it were me I'd talk to the dealership first.

Ipad IOS 8 Bluetooth speakers no longer work

Upgraded Ipad 3 to IOS 8 and Boston Acoustics Bluetooth speakers no longer work. The speakers pair with the Ipad, but connection drops when opening any app that attempts to use the bluetooth connection. Seems like the updated IOS blutooth driver is the problem. I tested with Iphone 4, Iphone 5, ipad 2 running IOS 7
and all work fine. Tested with Iphone 6 plus, Ipad 3, Ipad 2 using IOS 8 and none of the IOS 8 devices work... Also did the IOS 8 patch and did not fix this issue.
The Boston Acoustics Speakers supports Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR, A2DP v1.2
Seems like Apple can't get the wireless side right, IOS 6 had issues with Wifi and Bluetooth muting, that was corrected in IOS 7, now another wireless problem that makes these $350 speakers a boat anchor..... and not usable.
Perhaps they need to hire some RF / Wireless engineers and do a better job of regression testing... I am a wireless engineer and know that we never make hardware or software upgrades without extensive inter op testing and friendly user trials...

I have this same exact issue with my Boston Acoustics SoundWare XS Digital Cinema 2.1 system. Any other device can connect just fine including all of my previous iPhones and Android devices, but my new iPhone 6 will not keep the connection. Strange because the iPhone 6 will connect and work perfectly fine with my Plantronics Voyager Legend and my JBL Flip bluetooth. What happened guys, Mr. Jobs passed and you all forgot how to do proper QA? This type of foolishness is expected from Microsoft, not Apple.

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A statement such as "it doesn't work" conveys no information. If it did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete text of any error messages you saw and where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever. Also include the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, include details.

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!

Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!

TEmporary solution at iOS 8.3 keyboard shortcuts. Old bug reappeared.

Bluetooth headset no longer work after latest update

I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset for Skype calling and Ventrillo on my Macbook Pro. Since after the latest update, it no longer works. Both input and output doesn't work and the applications hang for about 30 seconds. I've tried re-pairing the device to no avail. Both applications work if I switch them to the built-in microphone.
I also tried doing the same thing with a Plantronics 245 and I get the same issue.
Both headset work with my phone.

FIXED!!!!
Steps to UNF*ing your Mac.
1) Install an app called Pacifist
2) Download the individual installer for the Magic Touch Update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1066 DO NOT INSTALL THIS
3) Load your OSX Install DVD
4) Open the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg in Pacifist
5) Open your OSX Installer DVD in Pacifist
6) Look at the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package in Pacifist to see exactly what it installed and where.
7) Find these SAME EXACT FILES on the OSX Installer and reinstall them as root (e.g. using your admin password when asked)
8) Repair permissions (Do NOT skip this)
9) Reboot
10) MOST IMPORTANT: Never install the update again!!
Your bluetooth headset will work in skype after this. You will replace EVERY FILE THE MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package installed with one from the DVD. If you can not find it, the search bar in Pacifist works wonders.
You will get an error if you try to reinstall admin.framework about not having permission to install. This will be the ONLY file you will not reinstall.
Yes, you have more or less, in a very complicated fashion uninstalled the update (software update shows the Magic Touch update as needed afterwards).
Find me on Skype, where I will be able to walk you through it from my Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset at james.t.bolin
In case you developers want to know, I'll give you my play by play. After the installation of the update, it borked the bluetooth causing Skype to freeze. Reinstalling all the original kexts from the installer disk fixed the skype freezing issue, but there was still no audio. In fact, after reinstalling everything in the System>Library folder still left me with no audio, but it would not freeze or cause kernel panics at this point.
This is where I got the magic. I started replacing stuff in the usr directory. Upon replacing the usr>libexec>cups>backend>bluetooth; usr>libexec>hidd; usr>sbin>blued; and the blue.8 and hidd.8 files, I got audio back and the stars aligned in perfect harmony. I suspect apple needs to retool the kexts and rewrite the root level profiles.

Bluetooth tethering no longer working - iPhone 3GS (iOS4.1) and Macbook Pro

Hi all,
I don't understand why this is not working anymore. In the past I had successfully paired & used a bluetooth tethered connection between my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.4) & my iPhone 3GS (pre 4.1). The network connection was working and I was able to surf the web/use MSN etc. This is not a feature I have used in quite some time and for some reason now it is not working. I have done several upgrades on my phone since I last used it, currently on iOS 4.1.
Lets pretend I am starting from scratch and my Macbook & iPhone do not know each other, devices have been forgotten on both.
- iPhone & Macbook both are on & discoverable
- On Macbook Pro I select "Set Up Bluetooth Device"
- Macbook scans and detects my iPhone, I select "Continue"
- Macbook connects with iPhone & displays 6 digit pin, also pairing notification is shown on iPhone with the same 6 digit pin
- I select "Continue" on Macbook & "Pair" on iPhone
- Connection is made, iPhone is now listed on Macbook and vice versa
- From bluetooth menu (on Macbook) in the iPhone device menu I select "Connect to Network". Error is displayed on Macbook "The bluetooth network is unavailable. There was a problem connecting to your device..." & on my iPhone an error "Connection Unsuccessful. Make sure iPhone is turned on and in range".
- When I try to connect from the iPhone an error is displayed "Connection Unsuccessful. iPhone is not supported" with a button to Forget Device.
What... the ****?
This has worked in the past without a hitch. Has something changed between say iOS 3.x and 4.1 that might cause this to no longer work for me.
Any protips are greatly appreciated!

Don't feel like a noob, my settings changed after the last update without warning and I was having the same issue as you until I found your post that alerted me to the fact that my internet tethering might be off!
So for others out there that are having this issue to turn tethering on go to Settings > General > Network > Internet Tethering > On
Thank you!! I had already wasted over an hour repeatedly syncing and unsyncing my darn bluetooth connection.

Bluetooth mouse no longer works

My Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 mouse no longer works after install of the latest 10.6.4 update
any reason this could be? (Also forgive the use of a microsoft mouse haha)

I had the same issue since the latest OSX upgrade. Bluetooth mouse 5000 just stopped working and couldnt be set up again.
I installed the latest Intellipoint 8 drivers from microsoft.
google microsoftmouse_d279.dmg and run it.
reboot the mac after installing.
going through the usual mouse setup in system preferences still gives you the same error so forget that. Instead, go to Bluetooth settings and add new device manually. finds the mouse and connects.
hope this helps.
BTW.. BT mouse 5000 is the best mouse i own and i have many!!! was devastated when it stopped working. Happy to be using it now again...

Airport Express suddenly no longer works

I'm thinking from reading the boards that it may have something to do with the 6.3 update, but in case anyone else has any suggestions, I wanted to outline my new problem.
Computer worked (wirelessly) absolutely fine this morning (G5 imac, Airport Express).
Got home tonight - internet connection was no longer working.
I ran my own diagnostic - the airport and the computer are talking, green light on the airport, network showing up in the drop down menu. This means it's a cable problem, right?
No. All of the cable modem lights are still working, but just in case, I unplug everything to reset.
I reset, still having the same problems.
I spend an hour (2 phone calls) to cable company, who resets my modem, yells at me for using wifi (they refuse to provide support to anyone who uses a router), but points out that if I plug the modem directly into the computer, I'll know whether it's actually the internet connection.
So I do this (annoyingly, I might add, since the wifi has previously enabled me to have my modem in the living room near the stereo, and not in my office). After stringing wires everywhere, voila! I have internet (as evidenced by this interminably long post). However, when I reset everything again to use the Express, I'm back to the same problem. All the lights on every device say it's a go, but nothing (e-mail, internet, etc.) loads. When I run the diagnostic presented in safari, all lights are green except second to last, "Internet". Gee thanks for that obviousness.
Cable company won't help me at this point, because as far as they're concerned, when the computer is hooked up "correctly", as in hard line to my computer (as in, not violating their terms of service), it works perfectly fine.
I read a few things here, and try a hard reset on the express. no luck (and yes, I know to reset, repower, etc. all the devices before each attempt). The ONLY thing that I did was yesterday, when I ran all the software updates on my iMac. Doesn't explain why it was working this morning...
I've had this airport for several years. I've set them up in all of parents', friends, etc. homes. I've never had a problem like this (I've had plenty of problems, but they always have fairly obvious symptoms - lights out or yellow or whatnot that hint at something wrong).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the quick response! just to give some further detail...
• Turn off the Airport card and then turn it back on.
-- I did this during the initial attempts (all further attempts will have to wait until tomorrow, as it's past my bedtime)
• "network showing up in the drop down menu" with a check mark next to it?
-- yes, the network has always shown up.
• This thread has a user with a bogus DNS entry.
• Does your Powerbook work?
-- I'll try these tomorrow
• What IP are you getting on your iMac?
-- I was getting the standard 10.10....address created by the airport.
• Create a new Location on your iMac's Network System Preferences and re-create the Airport connection
• Keychain First Aid?
• Temporarily connect via ethernet directly to the Express and check it's configuration again.
• Reset the trusted networks.
-- I'll try all of these tomorrow
Good Luck!
-- Thanks!

QuickTime export suddenly no longer works.

Hello,
We recently upgraded our new studio equipment from Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a brand new, latest edition Mac OS. We have had a handful of problems but most I have been able to work out. However, this recent one has me stuck and I need some help.
So far, we have been exporting our videos the last two weeks by going to File--Export--Media and then selecting the Format as QuickTime and Preset as HD 1080i 29.97, H.264, AAC 48kHz. We leave everything else alone and hit export (of course changing the output name, but dumping it in the same place as the project file is). These settings looked great and were what our clients preferred, and they matched our incoming video settings. The size of the output file was also not too bad.
However, yesterday for no reason it no longer works. Now, it says "Error compiling movie. Unknown error." when I try those settings and hit export.
I have verified that there is no specific video clip it does this with, all of our different intros and outros and video clips from this past weeks logs of video have all been loaded in and they get the same error, we can't export. They worked before so it can't be the video clips. In addition, it is ONLY with QuickTime. If I say select the format to be H.264 and then preset as say HD 1080i then it works. It works with all of the other presets and formats I have chosen EXCEPT the QuickTime format! Even choosing the other presets under QuickTime yields nothing.
Basically I can't seem to be able to produce .mov files anymore. In the directory I chose as the output, it creates a .mov file with the name of video I was trying to export but you can't open it and it has hardly any size.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? For now we are exporting at .mp4. It takes longer though and our files are much bigger and some of our clients have to do some converting so we'd like this fixed.
Mike

I have some updates, does anyone have any ideas?
After reinstalling the software, the problem was fixed and we could export with the QuickTime settings again. However, a couple days later the problem came back. What is wierd is that is only affected certain users. For instance, on my account I am still export .mov videos just fine. However, after the error showed up for someone midday , anyone who logged into Adobe Premiere for the first time since the installation but after the error appeared get the error. I logged in before the error appeared and do not get it.
I tried deleting the settings and files for specific people who have the problem, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem.
I am trying ti figure out what tripped the error, and can find no reason other than the potential that not having all of the files saved in one place where the video is exported as being a problem....as that is the only ting the person did differently than I did. They had there stuff saved in multiple places. However after fixing that that didn't fix the problem.
Lastly, we nee to export .mov with the H.264 codec. Most of the codecs don't work and changing other settings don't work....if its a .mov files qith QuickTime it fails with unknown errors. However, a couple strange Apple codecs work, but we can't use them because the files they produce are like 4-5GB big for our 3-4min videos.
Thanks....and feedback is appreciated.

Router suddenly no longer works with my iMAC. Please help, I'm desperate.

SSIA, pretty much. One day, after a few years of working fine, my Linksys BEFSR41 Vers. 3 router just stopped working with my iMac. I've dtermined through process of elimination that it is indeed the router since I can access the internet by plugging the cable modem directly into my Mac and thus can write this to you guys now. I tried just hooking up the Mac and the router directly and trying to access it through the http://192.168.1.1 address. Didn't work. So I thought the router just crapped out for some reason. Then I went out and bought a brand new Linksys BEFSR41 Vers. 3 router. Considering I had no problem with the first one for a few years it seemed reasonable. Now that one won't work either. Although I can access it via the 192.168.1.1 address. However once I do that, I no idea what to do. I tried to upgrade firmware and that was only supposed to "take a few minutes" but it said that for 3 hours so I stopped it. The thing is, with the first router I didn't need to do a thing. All I had to do was plug it in and it worked beautifully with my iMac and TiVo. Maybe something in my iMac wigged out and that why it won't work with these things anymore. I don't know. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to get my iMac and TiVo back online again via this router? I truly appreciate any help and the patience it must've taken you to get this far in reading long post.
Sincerely,
Scott

Oh my God thank you so much. I spent the last week trying to figure this **** thing out and that's all it took. Sometimes the most simple explanation is all that's required but last looked at. Thank you for pointing out the obvious. I kinda wish Linksys would've pointed that out to me when I exchanged a total of 25 e-mails with them. Oh well. Thank you again. I am so grateful.

Bluetooth headsets no longer working after latest update

Has anyone else run into this, &/or resolved it?
our btooth headsets were working (barely) w our Mbook Pros. the latest s/w update completely killed it completely.
the system recognizes the devices, but no audio will work. I've tried everything I've found on it:
- deleted and repaired the headsets
- cleared the PRAM
- deleted the btooth audio profiles
- hardset the headset use for the various apps
any idea if Apple is aware that this problem exists, or any ideas as to how to pass it on?
For the first time in a year, I'm missing my Dell laptop, and may have to consider going back to the darkside if this continues. Our side business relies on Skype, and using wired headsets won't cut it for long.....
I am really surprised that the btooth support in OS X is so poor -- really didn't expect this to be a problem.
