Bluetooth unable to turn on

Since upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.1 I am unable to connect my bluetooth mouse.  The turn Bluetooth on button will not highlight.  The icon on the top of the screen says bluetooth is not available. Bluetooth is not an option in system preferences under view either.  How can I turn on bluetooth?

had this same issue since I upgraded my mid 2010 macbook pro, bluetooth not available plus the lighting bolt icon with the bluetooth. Yesterday I went to MicroCenter and got a USB bluetooth dongle (IOGEAR GBU521) and works great, just plug n play. Now I can use my bluetooth speakers.

    Try to re-set it as rudegar suggests. If that doesn't work, try a restore. If that doesn't work, try a restore as new.
    If the settings are still grayed out, then your phone has suffered a hardware failure.

  • S400 unable to turn off wireless

    Hi , I am unable to turn off or on wifi/bluetooth with the f7 key(alternatiely the wireless key). wifi and bluetooth are enabled always whch i feel is power consuming when not required. the key seems to be unusable.
    netbook config is :
    i3, 2gb ram, atheos ar9285 wireless lan adapter, atheos ar3011 bluetooth adapter
    i have installed both the wireless drivers from lenovo support.
    what should i do to correct this.

    hi Pravinrajpaul,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    If you're running Windows 8, pressing the Airplane Mode (F7) turns OFF both the Wireless and Bluetooth radio. If you want to turn off just the Blueooth though, you will need to do it manually by:
    1. Opening Device Manager (press Win Key+X > choose Device Manager)
    2. Expand Bluetooth Radios then right click > disable the blueooth adapter.
    3. For the wireless, choose Network Adapters under Device Manager and right click > disable the wireless module or boot into the BIOS by pressing the One Key Recovery button and under the Configuration Tab, set Wireless LAN Support to Disabled.
    Hope this helps.

  • Bluetooth won't turn on...

    I recently installed a couple of themes onto my N90. Since then I have been unable to turn on my bluetooth, even after uninstalling the themes to revert the phone back to the state it was in when bluetooth would work.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Joe.

    Hi there! Were you ever able to resolve this issue?  I have an S4 as well and started having the same issue with the Bluetooth functionality on my phone.  It was working fine just a day ago and now I can't get the Bluetooth to turn on.
    Any information you have is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • My iPhone 4S keeps losing connection and turning off, and i am unable to turn it back on again without the charger, but it turns on when i press the button and regains signal fine once i return home?

    Hi
    I have recently bought a white iPhone 4S on Tuesday, and it has been repeatedly loosing all connection and just suddenly switching off.
    When this happens I am unable to turn the phone back on again without a power source plugged into it. When I try to remove the phone from the power source it goes completely dead again.
    However, the most recent time this has happened (today), as soon as I returned home the phone had no problem starting up as normal when I pressed the power button.
    The signal was working fine even though it says 'searching' in the left hand top corner of the screen. I am wondering if my WIFI at home is influencing the phone to work inside the household?
    This is a problem that needs to be sorted out ASAP because the phone is not working the majority of the time when I need it to.
    Please if you have any suggestions or know the cause of this problem inform me straight away.
    Would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it.  See this article for help on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.

    Hey tyjox,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to deactivate Find My iPhone on a device that does not work. You will need to work with the family member of the account the iPhone is registered with. I would recommend that you use this article to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

    How do i add a bluetooth device to my mac?  There is no " +" button in my bluetooth preferences and turning the devices to discover mode doesn't work

    The Bluetooth setup assistant should "find" a device in range when that device is turned on. What are you trying to add?

  • HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

    My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

    Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

  • Unable to Turn on Home Sharing after iTunes upgrade

    After the latest iTunes upgrade onYosemite, I get an 'Unable to Turn on Home Sharing' error on my 2 Apple TVs plus iPhone and iPad.  Previously, I had no problem.  I have restarted and reset my iTune on my MacBook plus all the devices now receiving an error message and the inability to utilize Home Sharing.
    I can send videos to my Apple TVs from my MacBook through AirPlay, so this is not a network error.
