Bluetooth turned off - Name not available

I have a no-name bluetooth usb device for my iMac, which installs fine without drivers etc.
However, every time I reboot or put the computer to sleep, the bluetooth device is set to OFF, and I cannot turn it on in the Bluetooth control panel (option grayed out with status "Name not available).
I can, however, get it to work by opening Bluetooth File Exchange, which then gives me the possibility to "Turn Bluetooth On" (the solution is from http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7854265).
How come it won't stay turned on?

Create a new, temporary admin account and see if you can set it up in that account.

Bluetooth turn off - Control center

Hi,
I use bluetooth to answer my calls however when I turn off the bluetooth from control center it shows that bluetooth turned off and the small icon at top goes away however if I look at the settings-> bluetooth it shows as ON. when I go inside the bluetooth option the button is in OFF mode. So there may be bug in displaying the correct status of bluetooth or it does not get switched off.
I am posting this at this forum as I can not post it under BugReport.
Thanks,
ABJT

I am getting below error, I am sending mail to mentioned ID with the Bug details.
An error has occurred. Please report the error to Apple Inc. by emailing the error detail to [email protected]

Where can i exchange my not working iphone bought in Switzerland (on july 12, 2012.) that just turned off and not working since. In croatian store they don't want to give me replacement phone!!!!

I have bought iphone 4s on July 12, 2012.in Zurich in offical Apple store (Glattzentrum) and after one and a half months it just turned off and not working since. I tried three charges and nothing (it detects that charger is on but it cannot be charged). So now I have a not working phone only two and something months after purchase. But the problem is that in Croatia we have two apple reseller stores and neither don't want to exchange it, although is under warranty!!!! The closest stores are 250 km from Zagreb...Of course I have contacted Apple store in Zurich but they told me to come in Switzerland or to send credit card data for receiving new iphone, the problem is I don't have credit card with 700 euro on it!!!! what to do?? who to call ??? where to get replacment device cause this is disaster???? I wanted to buy ipad but after all this I doubt to do so...I have not working Iphone payed around 700 chf or 800 usd and cannot change it in my country, is it possible for such vast organization like apple that this things can occur????? So much for customer support

“the EU is considered one country for warranty purposes“
Not the case at all whilst there are harmonized minimum standards governing guarantees, warrantees remain national as these vary (Add to) minimum legal protection.
Some how you need to get your phone back to Switzerland.

My Macbook keeps turning off if not plugged in

macbook turns off if not plugged in

This is an indication that 1) the battery is not installed or 2) the battery is installed but dead. It could also be that the battery connector has failed and needs to be replaced. If the battery connector is finished then the battery wouldn't receive the required power for recharging. Shut down the computer and remove the battery; when you install it into a similar model MacBook, does it show as defunct or is it now charging? That is one test to isolate the connector problem; it is a relatively inexpensive repair. A replacement battery is about $150 new; however, you could find one on eBay or Craigslist or get a healthy battery from a computer being sold for parts.

How do you turn off design notes?

Could've sworn I turned off design notes when I created my site, but they seem to be on.
Where do I go to turn them off after the fact?
Thanks!

It's in the Site Definition dialog box. Click on the Site menu, choose Manage Sites, select your website, and then click Edit to open the Site Definition dialog box. Select the Advanced tab, select the Design Notes category on the left side, and then deselect the Design notes checkbox.

Does iPod nano automatically turns off if not used in 2 minutes?

Does iPod nano automatically turns off if not used in 2 minutes?
this is the questions tha runs my mind bcoz I just bought it about 2 weeks ago and just this recently I noticed that it automatically switches off after 2 minutes if remained untouched even if i did not set the sleep mode. Well, it normally functions coz during playing a song it does not sleeps but by the time pausing the song and after two minutes the nano switches off, but if you press any key it goes back again and you can play the paused song again. is this thing normal? i am really bothered by this. please help me THANKS A LOT

I recently bought a 2nd Generation 8Gb iPod Nano and can state for a fact that if you pause a song for exactly two minutes the device will turn off, probably to save batttery power. I tested it three times already and clocked it.
However, I also noticed that my iPod also seems to turn off by itself (even when sleep / timer is not selected) when I'm shuffling through songs using the forward/next and/or rewind/back buttons repeatedly.
Is this normal, or just a bad coincidence?
I've tried the 5 Rs but the problem persists. It really annoys me because I have the habit of skipping lots of songs.

"Finnish with street names" not available in the p...

Hi all! I just bought a Nokia 5230. I used the Nokia Ovi Suite to upload one additional voice to the phone: Finnish with street names (Suomi katujen nimillä). The upload was successful ( I even checked the memory card). However this voice option is not available on the phone in the Ovi Maps Settings (not for walking or driving). Help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I got it working by accident. I have the maps 3.0.4 beta and the finnish voices with street names work with it. I don't if it needs 3.0.4 beta or if the maps needs some kind of reset.
I had speeding camera problems with maps and installed the maps several times, see
/t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/Nokia-5230-Safety-Cameras/td-p/679555
I checked the cities/diskcache/voices directory and the finnish_tts directory had contents, but I was unable choose it from the menus. There is some kind reset problem, when new data is downloaded.
I can't test if following works, but try it. If it does not work try reinstalling the software after you have deleted the cities-directory and qf file as described in the other post with link above.
Turn off the driving and walking guidance. Close the map application. Start the map application and use the navigation with a target. Close the navigation and maps application and restart the maps and see I you can find the driving navigation language finnish with street names (suomi - katujen nimillä).
If that does not help then try the delete/install procedure. I don't know if it works with 3.0.3 or if you need the 3.0.4 beta.
I think the maps application needs some kind of refresh or reset or factory settings function.
BTW, the swedish location names pronounced in finnish (like in motorway exits) are sometimes funny, Mikko's (the voice) swedish is even worse than mine.
