Bluetooth unavailable/blued issues

My bluetooth has been giving me issues for a couple of days now. It all started after I was forced to power down my computer because it froze immediately after waking up.
After the initial restart, bluetooth became unavailable. However, I'm not getting the squiggly line through the icon at the top. Instead, it looks like this. I have a Magic Mouse, so obviously not being able to use bluetooth is bugging me. What's odd is that if I go through Bluetooth File Exchange, I can usually get it working, but aside from that, no luck.
BUT. This isn't what is bothering me the most. Ever since this started happening, my computer's fans start running about five minutes after start up, and usually stay at about 6000-6200rpm while the computer is on, regardless of what I am doing. Also, the CPU temp has been around 80-84 degrees these last couple of days, even though my computer doesn't feel warm.
The reason I think this has something to do with my bluetooth is because when I opened the activity monitor, "blued" (which I googled and found out is the bluetooth daemon) is sucking up about 62% of the CPU's resources, even though my bluetooth isn't turned on. Force quitting it from the activity monitor does nothing, because it just comes back.
Other things I have tried that haven't worked:
1. Resetting PRAM
2. Resetting SMC
3. Deleting preference files from library
4. Repairing permissions from start-up disk
Does anyone have any idea why this "blued" process keeps running even though my bluetooth isn't on? And how to fix it so it doesn't consume so much of the CPU's resources/cause my fans to go wild?
Also, don't know whether this is important to know, but my macbook is three years old now, but still in good condition (I hope). Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hello:
You have tried most of the things that I would have suggested:

4. Repairing permissions from start-up disk
If you have not don so, trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist).
I would also run repair disk from your software install DVD.
I would also run Apple's hardware checker from your software install DVD. If you have it, run Techtool.

I see them now. I have not encountered those problems in this forum on on my ipads.
I would try to following in this order:
1) Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
2) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset. (Is this what you did when you mentioned reset?)
3) If neither help, try a restore with itunes/computer. This will reinstall the ipad's software.
If the problems persist, you should contact Apple or take the ipad back to the vendor.
I hope this helps.

Setting shows "bluetooth Unavailable" and greyed out

looking for possible reasons, why iphone shows "bluetooth unavailable". sometimes it jumps to "bluetooth off", sometimes to "bluetooth on" and then unsuccessfully searching other devices. iphone is very slow and touch stream reacts with delay.
Any clue, if this is a hardware or software issue? How to fix?
Reset + restore not successful. iOS 4.2.1
Have not recognized the problem under 4.0 - but not sure, if upgrade is the cause of the issue.
Thanks for any hot tip.

Red Blue issue with published DeskI Report in InfoView

Hi everyone,
i'm expieriencing a strange behaviour with my published DeskI Reports.
I'm using logos in my report and they work just fine... in my full client. As soon as I publish them to InfoView and open them up in the browser, then somehow the color red and blue interchange. Red becomes blue and vice versa...
My System consists of:
BOE R 3.1 SP2
Win Server 2008
DeskI and WebI
Has anyone expirienced the same issues?
Thanks and kr,
Nils

Hi Stratos,
so far everything is just fine. Hope you are doing great too.
my IE version is: 7.0.5730.13
Tomcat version: 5.5.20
If I click on the logos in InfoView, nothing happens.
I tested 3 different ways to implement them:
1) via link; pictures shows up, but again with the red blue issue
2) as an object; pictures shows up; also w/ the red blue issue
3) inserted a cell, and pasted the picture in it, pictures shows up; also w/ the red blue issue
The strange thing is, that this issue only appears in the browser.
Thanks,
Nils

Do you find that connecting to a Bluetooth keyboard creates issues w/ the new iPad's performance?

Do you find connecting to a Bluetooth keyboard creates issues w/ the new iPad's performance?

I have an Adesso case with bluetooth keyboard for my iPad 2. No affect on performance. Keybord easier to use compared to on-screen keyboard. Plus it has more keys compared to on-screen keyboard.

How do I solve iMac "Bluetooth: Unavailable" problem?

I have a 27-inch, Mid 2011 iMac (OS X Lion 10.7.5) which was provided with a wireless keyboard and mouse. Afer a year of use, I started having intermittent problems with the keyboard becoming disconnected, but the problem usually solved itself after a few seconds. Now, I am not able to use the wireless keyboard and mouse at all. I installed new batteries in both the keyboard and mouse, however, it did not solve the problem. The Bluetooth icon at the top right of the monitor reads "Bluetooth: Unavailable" in light gray lettering. I am currently typing this with a wired keyboard and wired mouse. I cannot find any solutions in the Apple Support section. How can this problem be solved?

Try resetting the SMC.

Bluetooth Headset / Earpiece Issues

My Jawbone bluetooth earpiece worked well with my original iPhone and 3GS but does not with the new iPhone 4. I heard bluetooth was an issue but I am only reading about tethering and phone to phone noncompatability. I heard it doesn't work with FaceTime either.
I just want to be able to use it with a phone call. It randomly drops and reconnects, etc. Very unreliable. I have had my phone since June and do not even carry my earpiece around with me anymore. Any info or news on this issue and a firmware update?

I've been having this same issue since I bought the iPhone 4. I'm really disappointed! I don't think I'll buy another iPhone for issues like this. I've spent a lot of money on the earpieces that I like to use and NONE of them give me good results with the phone.
I really would not expect an issue like this to go on for so long. This iteration of the iPhone has rendered my investments in high quality earpieces worthless pieces of junk.

WIFI & Bluetooth unavailable after upgrading 2.0

Hi,
After upgrading to version 2.0.2 my IPhone has lost WIFI and Bluetooth. Mac addresses appears like 00:00:00:00:00:00 and the option in grey, saying "No Wi-FI" and Bluetooth unavailable.
I tried restoring to a previous version but not luck, looks like something becomes corrupt.
Is there any fix for that?
Thanks in advance.

Try this,
Reset Network Settings
Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.
Or do a phone reset
Or return it to apple like this guy on http://gabriel.zeropeople.com/2008/08/15/iphone-wifibluetooth-problems/
Or the scary part

Bluetooth unavailable/not recognizing hardware

I've posted time and again and no one seems to have an answer. My iMac (10.2.8) has a BT module from Dlink plugged into the USB. Without any prior problem. BT is now unavailable. Profiler shows the BT module but utilities says there isn't any hardware. I contacted Dlink and they suggest a firmware download from Apple but I can't find any.
Is there something I can download which might correct the problem? I did the pram reset thing but that did nothing. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be? Will upgrading to Tiger or Leopard fix this? Very frustrating.
Thanks

I have the same problem with my bluetooth keyboard. From my reading here & elsewhere I understand this may be:
- A design issue - mini's run too hot for bluetooth to function properly
- A build quality issue - soemtimes the bluetooth connector is not properly seated
- An implementation issue - apparently the antennae cable is frequently laid across the USB bus/ports and this can cause interference.
NONE of this information comes directly from Apple and I understand popping open the case to investigate will invalidate my warrantee. Screw this - I'm going back to using PC's. Seriously gentlemen; I have tried very hard to like Macs; but they're just built badly and the after sales support is an insult. Apple deserves the fate it would already have suffered were it not Microsoft propping it up to avoid an anti-trust action. If you continue to use this garbage you have only yourselves to blame. Sell your junk to some sucker on eBay & buy a Dell.

Bluetooth 'unavailable'!

I have been using a RocketFish RF-MAB2 headset, fine for listening to tunes, with my touch 3Grunning 3.1.3 for a couple weeks now. Suddenly today. I get no full connectivity.
Touch shows the RF-MAB2 in music, bu I here nothing. I have started and restarte the headset a couple of times. It is fully charged. If I go to Settings>General and Bluetooth, Bluetooth is grayed out along with Unavailable. The Bluetooth icon is Blue, though!
The iTouch is acting slow and sticky on the icons and slide to unlock!
Do I need to do a reset and reinstall everything! It is a 32G that is about a third full!
If I do <Restore> do I get to just sync to put everything back? I suppose that will take a while.

Spoke with a buddy about this and He said try a reboot 'Hold Power Key and Home Key down'. I did not know about that! Much better than a Restore for a first option at a fix. On my MBP I would have tried a restart. JUst didn't know how to do that on an iTouch!
Good to go, now!
Maybe someone else will benefit from this bit of info!

IPhone 6 and Bluetooth phone connectivity issues with my vehicle: this is how I fixed it.

With so many threads on this topic, I wanted to detail the steps I took to fix my iPhone 6 Bluetooth issues regarding connectivity to my vehicle and handsfree calling. My phone was pairing with my vehicle without a problem and syncing my contacts and call history but when I attempted to make a call (from either the phone or the vehicle screen) the audio went out and I could not hear the call either through the vehicle speakers or on the phone. The call was going through but I was unable to see it on my vehicle screen and/or hear it either the phone or the vehicle screen.
Based on my research and what I have learned so far, the people having problems are those who restored their new iPhone 6 from an iCloud backup from a previous phone, rather than setting up their iPhone 6 as a new phone. I did an iCloud restore from my previous 5s running iOS 8.
First, I am a Verizon customer and I enabled Advanced Calling on my line. After I requested that this feature be added to my line, under “Cellular” settings on my iPhone, I enabled LTE voice & data.
Next steps:
1) Unpair/remove iPhone from the vehicle;
2) Forget/remove the vehicle from the phone Bluetooth settings;
3) Soft reset the iPhone;
4) Reset network settings on the iPhone; and
5) Pair the phone to the vehicle again and attempt to make a call.
If that does not work…
6) Perform a factory reset, erasing EVERYTHING from your phone and set it up as a new iPhone rather than restoring from a backup.
Resetting the network settings seems to be working for some people. It did not work for me. I tried it a few times with no result. I did the dreaded factory reset, paired the phone with my vehicle and had all of my Bluetooth functionality back and was able to use the handsfree phone with zero issues.
I was on the phone yesterday multiple times with Apple, Toyota Entune, Verizon and my Toyota dealer. Verizon blamed Toyota Entune, Toyota Entune blamed Verizon and my Toyota dealer blamed Apple. Nobody had a clue how to fix this issue or what was causing it. I don’t know the exact reason why the previous iCloud backups are killing the Bluetooth connections, I just know what worked for me and I thought it was worth sharing.
Good luck.

The new 8.0.2 update DID NOT FIX THIS ISSUE AT ALL. After you power off and on with the phone, same issue as the 8.0, all 3 of my cars lost Bluetooth connection and shows no signal at all. Good job Apple, what a lousy update you guys did.

Bluetooth Mouse Driver Issues after updating to SP1

Greetings!
After upgrading to SP1 my bluetooth mouse stopped working. The dongle I'm using is being detected fine, and when I scan for the mouse I can find it, but when I try to connect to it I get a "Locate driver" message from Vista. When I let it scan for the driver it is unable to find anything compatible, so when I tell it to scan the CD that came with it again it finds nothing. It's like the Bluetooth HID Device driver is no longer working.
This is the dongle:
http://us.kensington.com/html/9403.html
This is the mouse:
http://us.kensington.com/html/12635.html
Some of the things I've tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling the WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack. I've tried using Vista's Bluetooth stack instead of the WIDCOMM stack, with no luck.
I've also tried the Bluesoleil drivers with no luck there either, in fact those seem to break the dongle and Vista is no longer able to detect it.
I've tried the install CD that came with the mouse, but it seems that is for Windows XP only.
I've tried another Bluetooth mouse that produces the exact same results, with a CD that is for Vista.
Anyone else having this issue?

Just wanted to update this with an answer.
I'm pretty sure that running vsp1cln.exe was the reason why my Bluetooth and iPod stopped working. I reinstalled Vista and upgraded to SP1 without running that tool to clean up the install files and both bluetooth and my iPod are working again. It must clean up the driver files that they were using and the new files are not compatible or something. Not sure really.

HT1338 The Bluetooth on my macbook wont turn on. Not even giving me the option to turn on/off any more. all it shows is "Bluetooth : Unavailable" form one day to the next. AHHHHHH!

So blue tooth was working just fine with my wireless keyboard and now not so much. I see the Bluetooth icon on top and its not allowing me to see anything about the setup like it did before. now it's just telling me that it's "Not Available"....... looked for Bluetooth options on preference window and all it found me was the sharing folder where there was nothing about bluetooth.

Shut your Mac down - not reboot, do a shut down - then boot it up and see whether the problem has cleared. As it happens, I had exactly the same thing a couple of days ago: a reboot didn't cure it but a shut down did.

Bluetooth Magic Trackpad issues

Hi All,
I tried to find similar question in discussions, but I couldn’t.
After upgrade to OSX Mavericks I have big problem with my magic trackpad connected via Bluetooth. When I start using OSX everything is ok, but after 5-10 minutes I see how trackpad somehow is losing the connection or pointer on the screen is moving with some “jumping” moves. It’s annoying and it happens only with trackpad - when I connect Logitech mouse connected with USB dongle, everything is fine. Sometimes I see that trackpad lose connection at all.
System was upgrade into Mavericks from ML - previously I had SL. I have no idea how this issue can be fixed. Perhaps I can reinstall entire system from clear installation, but I won’t do this.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Marek

Hello Kelmex
Start with the article below to troubleshooting the connectivity of your Magic Trackpad. Look for any interference that could be cause it to act erratic as well as battery life on the Magic Trackpad.
