Bluetooth with os 10.8.5 not working

After updating the system the bluetooth is unresponsive.  In the preferences "on" and "discoverable" are checked. I cannot uncheck either of these boxes. What aroused my concern was that my track pad was listed as not connected but the basic functions (pointing, clicking, dragging) worked while the extended multi-finger functions (two finger scrolling, swiping, etc.) did not.  At this point, the track pad is no longer working at all. I have reset pRAM, unplugged USB devices, unplugged power, all to no avail. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Steve

Bluetooth Assitant has now found the Trackpad but will not pair with it.  I have switched the pad on and off numerous times, clicking "Continue" while pad light is blinking, only to get message that pairing was unsuccessful and that I should make sure I am in range of computer ( I think 2 feet is in range) and that the device is turned on and discoverable (blinking green light).  Frustrating.  Worked great until I did the last OS update.
What is also weird about this is that I cannot turn Bluetooth on and off in the menu bar or in the preference panel.  Though I am now able to check and uncheck the discoverable box in the prefence panel now that I threw out the .plist which I was not able to following the update.  Something buggy has occured since the update.

    Help and support sends you in circles and does not help redeem a card with a code that does not work.

    Well, they have a website, but here is a link to their information about unlocking iPhones.

    You may not qualify for an unlock though.

  • You must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    you must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    I tried to answer in your other post.. please stick to one thread ..
    What method of internet do you have.. is this fibre install.. if so the TC should just plug in and use dhcp in router mode.. press and hold the reset and it will go back to router mode by default.

    hello i have a problem with my fingerprint id its not working anymore like before his not recognised my finger anymore why ?

    I have had to periodically delete and re-enter my fingerprint. The last update (7.1) may have improved that. You can delete by going to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode, enter your passcode and then tap "Turn Passcode Off" and then go back to the same area, put a passcode back on and then a fingerprint.

  • Command.text with ODBC escape sequence is not working in VC++, Bug in OLEDB ?

    Command.text with ODBC escape sequence is not working in VC++. The Code, which written in VB is working perfectly. Is there any different syntax in VC++ or bug in
    OLE DB provider ?. I am using OraOLEDB 8.1.7 version.
    Thanks

  • I have a iPhone4 acquired in Portugal. I will be moving to the EQUATOR (South America). Whenever I have visited the country before, with other cellphones, they did not work (different band) forcing me to buy a local cellphone. Will my iPhone4S work there?

    If it is unlocked it will work if you get a SIM from the carrier you will be using. Note that Apple does not and cannot unlock phones. Only the carrier it is presently locked to can unlock it.

  • Anyone had issues with on/off sleep button not working anymore

    Anyone had issues with on/off sleep button not working anymore?

    If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, use virtual Lock Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn OFF iPhone. To turn ON, connect iPhone to power, charger or USB of computer.

  • HT204387 I have a new Iphone 5 and my bluetooth capabilty with my Mercedes E550 is not working for text messaging.  Mercedes says it's a phone issue.  Has anyone else experienced this and did you find a solution?

    Iphone 5 bluetooth texting is not working in my Mercedes E550; Mercedes says it's a phone issue.  Any ideas or suggestions?

    If your question regards the ability of your Mercedes to access the text messages in your phone, the most likely answer is that your vehicle's audio system does not support the Message Access Profile. This Bluetooth profile was adopted in June of 2009, which means that Mercedes Benz wasn't implementing this capability mid-year.
    Your Merc simply will not be able to access those messages.
    If the dealer can do an update of the Firmware, it might improve the capability. But the expense of that might outweigh the ability to gain access to your texts. This is to say that there is even an upgrade possible. This is a major addition to the Bluetooth capabilities.
    FWIW, up until recently, most cars havn't had this capability. The earliest adopters were Ford and BMW.

  • Satellite L650: Some combinations with the FN button do not work on W7x64

    Hello,
    System
    <h3>Satellite L650-1KU</h3>Part number
    <h3><span class="partNo">PSK1LE-01700MRU</h3>
    I have install Windows by myself - this laptop haven't any OS from factory.
    Installed Windows 7 x64, all drivers and utilites from Toshiba driver site for windows 7 x64 accessible for my laptop model.
    I have no any unknown devices in Windows Device manager, all drivers installed and all hardware components woks fine i.e. wifi or bluetooth or web camera.
    But I still can't use some of keyboard combinations with Fn button. Not all, just five combinations do not work: Fn+F2 power modes, Fn+F4 hibernate, Fn+1,2 zoom and Fn+F8 wirelles devices.
    From search I have found only mentions about Fn+1,2 zoom - this funtion provide some util named Toshiba Zoom but on download page no any Toshiba Zoom for my laptop model and W7.
    Looks like there must be installed some additional utils from vendor for handling this combinations but I cant find any additional info or soft on driver download page.
    May be there are some utils what shold be located in lists of drivers/soft for 32 bit windows and it will be fine for 64 bit one?
    All combinations which works fine like volume +- Fn+3 Fn+4 or mute Fn+ESC does not shows any popus at moment of pressing, just <span class="short_text"><span class="hps">perform <span class="hps">its <span class="hps">function <span class="hps">without any indication.
    Dear users and support, can you help me what I should install from additional utils to provide support for combinations Fn+F2 power modes, Fn+F4 hibernate Fn+1,2 zoom and Fn+F8 wirelles devices?

    Have you installed the Toshiba Value Added Package?
    Have a look on the Toshiba support/downloads website. Ensure you install the Win7 64bit version of TVAP designed for the L650 series.
    Updating the BIOS may also help.

  • Bluetooth pairing and so handoff does not work

    Hi!
    First of all I have a Macbook Pro 15" Retina late 2013 (bought at in the first months of 2014) and and iPhone 5s.
    rMBP has installed OS X Yosemite since yesterday and my iPhone iOS 8.0.2
    Positiv checks:
    - both devices support Bluetooth LE
    - both devices are on the same wi-fi network
    - rMBP support handoff and instant hotspot as displayed in system information screen
    - rMBP could "out call" over facetime and my iPhone to anyone
    - bluetooth is activated on both devices
    - airdrop (for everyone) is activated on both devices
    - handoff in settings -> general on rMBP ist actived
    - handoff in settings -> generall -> handoff & ... ist activated on iPhone too
    Problems:
    - handoff does not work between my rMBP and iPhone
    - in bluetooth settings both devices see each other, but they cannot connect to each other
    if I try to connect bluetooth from rMBP to iPhone I get: network not available
    if I try to connect bluetooth from iPhone to rMBP I get: connections failed
    so what can I do to pair/connect them both to each other for these incredible handoff features I want to use?
    things I tried out:
    - switching airdrop on and off on both devices
    - switching airdrop off and on on both devices
    - switching bluetooth off and on on both devices
    - clearing bluetooth device cach on rMBP and fresh select (pairing) in the settings
    - multiple trys on my iPhone to connect with my rMBP
    - resetting network settings on iPhone
    - resetting all settings on iPhone
    I run out of ideas .... can anybody help me please!

    yes, there is an additional troubleshooting for your iPhone.
    - be sure that you have still OS X Yosemite and iOS 8.0.2 or later (8.1 on Monday) installed on your devices
    - on iOS goto settings -> generall -> scroll down to reset settings (last option on general screen) -> reset all network settings
    - be sure to reconnect to the same WI-FI after you did that
    - be sure to activate Bluetooth
    - be sure that Handoff ist activated on your iPhone (Settings -> General -> Handoff)
    - be sure your MBP ist on the same WI-FI (same bandwith as well, for example both devices have to be on 2,4 GHz)
    if that troubleshooting does not work for you, goto settings -> iCloud -> scroll down to logout from your iCloud on iOS
    and than reconnect to iCloud on your iPhone 5c
    if that troubleshooting does not work too, goto settings -> general -> scroll down to reset settings
    and reset all settings, do the same as before
    you can also check on your MBP:
    - goto Macintosh HD/library/Preferences/By Host and check for files com.apple.Bluetooth......
    - delete them
    - do not forget to activate Bluetooth on MBP
    if you did the two boot-tricks in the troubleshooting, Bluetooth should be reseted to default, and if you open Settings -> Bluetooth on your MBP
    your iPhone should NOT be shown in the list of available Bluetooth devices.
    please tell me, what works for you!

  • Iphone 6 bluetooth and my nissan rogue 2014 not working

    I've been trying to make calls using my nissan rogue bluetooth and my iphone 6. The device is paired but when I try to make a call it won't work. Do you guys know if this is something apple will fix with the next update? Has this issue been reported?

    Hey.  I am having this problem on my 2014 Jeep Willys.  I corrected it last night by resetting all settings(after chatting with an Apple tech online), but this morning it did not work again.  SMH!  I decided to reset network settings only and it worked.  I even turned off my Jeep and then back on.  The phone reconnected and worked.  Mine always connects, but no phone calls are able to be made or received.  So far this worked for me.

  • Iphone 4 not working with iOS 6, Iphone 4 not working with iOS 6

    iOS 6 is not working on my iPhone 4. When the update/restore finishes it gives me the (-1) error and cannot finish the update. Please help.

    Hey.. I have had this issue since yesterday afternoon.. Some people are saying to keep restoring again and again until it finally goes through.. I have done so like 10 times on my MAC and then I used my husband's PC and tried it 4 times.. No success.. I called apple support, but no help came from there at the end, and the only thing they were able to suggest to me is to sell me a new phone just like mine for a discounted price.. **** NO
    Anyways after about 18h of search and stress I came across this link:
    http://techglobex.blogspot.com/2012/06/downgrade-from-ios-6-beta-firmware-to.htm l
    That will only make it possibe to go backward.. You will end up back with the IOS 5, but at least you will have a working phone and it will bring back all your contacts and everything else that you ever had backed up on icloud and on your computer. There might be descripencies with the Applications but again this is an issue easily solved, you can always download them back.
    Two more things: One, you do not have to download the old version of the itunes, the newest version worked for me without any issues
    When choosing to download the older IOS 5.1.1, you will need to figure out whether your carrier is GSM or CDMA but you can easily google this info online..
    Well hope that will work for you like it did for me
