Bluetooth with Windows 7

I've just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7, 64 bit.  With XP I was able to use Bluetooth to sync my 8900 to Outlook.  When I connected the phone via Bluetooth to Windows 7 there were a couple of drivers that didn't install correctly and no solution was found.  The phone is communicating with the computer, but won't sync.
Can anyone confirm that Windows 7, 64 bit is compabible with the 8900 for Bluetooth?  USB sync works ok.

New Contributor,
Windows 7 64-bit is compatible with the Blackberry 8900 for BT but additional drivers must be installed. You may need to check directly with blackberry for the additional software.
For additional assistance and feedback, Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://tinyurl.com/9fhdl5 . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams.
Also you may want to refer to the Windows 7 compatibility center for futher questions regarding compatibility. This is available here: http://bit.ly/1gW6Ns

  • Bluetooth with Windows 8.1 problem

    I am trying to connect an HP X4000b bluethooth mouse to my computer.  I recently was running windows 7 and I had to go into the mouse bluethooth properties and enable the drivers.  When I updated to windows 8.1, my bluetooth drivers will locate the mouse, but when I try to pair it, it gives me an error saying to make sure the mouse is discoverable, then it dissapears from the bluetooth driver. I cannot right click the mouse to pring up the properties to enable the drivers and i cannot find them online.  How do I connect this mouse?

    hi ahmed4444,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    That device Showinf in your Device Manager ( ACPI\VEN_VPC&DEV_2004 ) is the Control for Power system.
     Lenovo Energy Management Driver 
    Im not too sure about the Bluetooth and Camera.
      If you download the driver from support site.
              This should create an extracted folder of the driver in Drive C: the drivers folder.
                      try opening That and look for the folders like Camera , Webcam , Bluetooth.  not sure how it will be named after the extraction.
                      Open Those folder and see if you can find the Setup.exe of the driver and run it Manually.
    Let me know your findings
    Regards

  • IPhone 5 handsfree bluetooth with Windows 8

    I am trying to use my Windows 8.1 laptop as a handsfree bluetooth device for my iPhone 5.  I have paired the devices, but when I double-click my phone in the devices list in Windows, the only operation is "Synchronize PIM Data with Phone Book Access".  Is it possible to use my laptop as a handsfree device with iPhone 5?

    No.

  • X230 with windows 7 still won't connect to any bluetooth devices after many attempted solutions

    My starting point:
    I have 6 month old x230 with windows 7, all windows and lenovo updates already completed.  The bluetooth logo exists on the bottom of screen but when I try to "add device" it doesn't recognize any bluetooth devices.  I've tried this with speakers from 3 different companies.  I have updated the bluetooth drivers, the windows and lenovo programs say "device is working properly".  Nothing wierd in device manager.  I have  microsoft bluetooth enumerator and thinkpad bluetooth 4.0.  One time for about 30 minutes it worked on a ECOXGEAR bluetooth speaker but then also stopped.
    Since then:
    I enabled settings in BT control panel, BT is enabled in BIOS, BT wireless on, have tried to rollback driver to previous versions of BT but not possible, devices still do not show up in Add new device window. 
    Latest update:
    I have uninstalled the lenovo bluetooth software following a suggestion and now my laptop no longer has bluetooth capacity at all - it seems when uninstallig the lenovo bluetooth sw the microsoft sw uninstalls as well.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Seems BT audio profiles your speakers need are absent in the sw installed on the laptop. Try BlueSoleli or Toshiba BT drivers, both of them might have needed audio profiles. Toshiba stack seems a bit better quality but needs some tweaks for installation.

    It sounds like your laptop is  possibly overheating ,which will cause a shutdown. Have you checked your cooling fan to be sure it is working? Cleaned the vents/ports with compressed air to increase airflow?

    I have a iPhone 5C and a PC with Windows Vista.I did pair my phone thru Bluetooth but when I try to connect I get this message:"error establishing connection" What is the reason of this?

    Go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and make sure that your phone number is checked and iMessage reads as activated. Remove the checkmark from the email address and make sure that only the phone number if checked. It should appear grayed out, but should still have a checkmark. If the phone number does not have a checkmark, then turn off iMessage, wait a few moments and then turn iMessage back on and make sure that it activates.

    Do you still have your windows7 install files ?

  • My HP Pavilion p7-1439 with Windows 8 will not add Bluetooth Devices.

    My HP Pavilion p7-1439 with Windows 8 will not add Bluetooth Devices.  I ran all available updates using HP Assistant. The BT devices work with Laptop, iPhone, Surface and Ipad but not the HP Desktop.  I can access the Add Device button and the system searches but never finds any BT devices.  Any thoughts?

    Hi NumberTumbler,
    I would like to help you with your Bluetooth issue. 
    In this document Understanding Bluethooth Wireless Technology go to the section "Setting up a Bluetooth Device" for detailed information about setting up  Bluetooth devices on your computer.
    Let me know if this helps or if you need any further assistance.
    Thank you,

  • Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

    Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

    I asked a similar question a few hours back and no answers yet. I think nobody knows since nobody has had the chance to test them. If previous releases are any indication, you'll probably get basic functionality because it is bluetooth, but for the advanced features or setting options you'll have to wait for a Windows driver, which can sometimes take a few months or more.

  • Trick for Pairing Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse With Windows 7 in BC 3.1

    My Mac:
    Mid-2007 iMac 20", 2.4 GHz; OS X 10.6.2; Windows 7 Home; Boot Camp 3.1
    My Problem:
    No matter what I tried, including all kinds of tips and tricks found in this forum and elsewhere on the web, I could not get my Apple aluminum bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth Mighty Mouse to pair in Windows 7. Windows 7's bluetooth setup panel would see them, from time to time, but never connected.
    The same pair connected quite easily with Snow Leopard, and the keyboard connected before I installed BC 3.1 in Win 7 (never did get the MM to connect in Win 7 with BC 3.0). But with BC 3.1 in Win 7, it was no dice for either one until I made an accidental discovery.
    While prepping another Apple bluetooth aluminum keyboard for my wife's Mac Mini, it was seen by my iMac's Win 7, which wanted to pair with it.
    Aha! A Big Clue! The Win 7 BC 3.1 generic bluetooth drivers wanted to pair with an aluminum keyboard that wasn't already paired with the iMac. So, I booted back into Snow Leopard, connected a USB mouse and keyboard, renamed the bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and then deleted them. I rebooted back into Win 7, then easily set up both renamed mouse and keyboard which paired quickly with Windows.
    Note that I first tried deleting them from the Snow Leopard side first, but Win 7 still wouldn't pair with them. That's when I went back to Snow Leopard and renamed them but didn't pair them with the iMac until it was booted into Win 7.
    Finally, I rebooted back into Snow Leopard and paired the keyboard and mouse with OS X. Done.
    Hope this trick/tip/hint helps someone else with keyboard and mouse bluetooth pairing problems.

    You're welcome. My discovery was quite accidental, but that's often how things happen ... if you're paying attention and are looking for clues.
    Sorry you had to trial and error before you succeeded, but as you've probably found, it is necessary to rename the bluetooth devices first, then delete them from OS X.
    I don't understand why this trick was necessary, or even what caused it to happen. I've got 6 Win 7 installations via Boot Camp on 6 Intel Macs (2 white MacBooks, 1 Unibody MacBook, a Core Duo Mac Mini, a 27" iMac and the 20" 2.4 Mid-2007 iMac). All were running 10.6.2 and Win 7 (aren't Family Packs wonderful?) via Boot Camp 3.0 more or less without problems, except as noted in my first post.
    Only the 20" iMac had problems after the Boot Camp 3.1. Not only did I have a devil of a time pairing the keyboard and mouse, but I also lost the Win 7 activation on the iMac 20" and the OS X partition started showing up as "EFI Boot". All happened right after I updated Boot Camp 3.0 to 3.1 via download from Apple while running Win 7.
    I've heard reports of other Mac users discovering Boot Camp had done a FUBAR job on their machines, but this is my first experience. My guess is that there's some dialogue going on between 10.6, Win 7 and Boot Camp that shouldn't be happening. What I really don't understand is why my other 5 Macs didn't have any problems at all with the Boot Camp upgrade to 3.1. Let's hope the Apple Boot Camp team can reverse engineer my discovery and improve the next version of BC.
