Bluetooth won't switch on and appears as a network device.

This is related to an issue I have previously mentioned but just wanted to see if it is actually a separate issue.
My bluetooth won't connect. Its greyed out and when I open the bluetooth preferences then the 'on' box is greyed out also as is the 'discoverable' box.
Is there anything I xcan do to rectify this at all?

Hello Barry,
Thanks for your input.
I still live in powerpc land and as far as I know resetting is something which is for intel based machines. I could eb wrong on this.
I have tried resetting the pram but to no effect.
Can you reset the SMC on powerpc's?
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

I have an Iphone 5S and used to sync it to my computer in the past without any problem, but now I can't and appears the message "usb device not recognized", and the cable is good and so the USB port. Do you have any idea what's the problem?

Try leaving it plugged in and then restart the computer.
If you are on Windows this link may help but it is a bit old.

My ipod mini won't switch on and i cant live without it !

My ipod mini won't switch on. I had been having problems for a few weeks before, transferring song lists to my ipod from the pc, showing the message "attempting to copy to the disk failed. An unknown error occured (-36)". I don't know if this had anything to do with my current problem. After un-installing and re-installing the latest version of installer, I went to switch my ipod on a few days ago and all that it showed on the screen was about half of the battery charging icon that usually fills the screen. I switched the ipod off again but when I tried to switch it back on, nothing happened. please help !

Tried these?

You might call it a software check, but I would call it a problem with the iOS software and you will probably have to restore your iPad. Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes and see what happens.

My ipod Video won't switch on and always displays the message, "Please Wait Very Little Battery" despite being plugged into the charger.

Dear Apple Support Communities,
I am writing to inform you I have had my iPod for about 6 years now and it has slowly got to the stage where it no longer turns on. My iPod began freezing every now and then (for a few seconds now) and then this problem escalated to the stage where it began to freeze for days. I am now at the stage where it doesn't switch on at all, in fact everytime I try to switch on my iPod the following message appears on the screen, 'Please Wait, Very Little Battery' despite the fact that the iPod is currently being charged. I haven't used my iPod for months and was wondering if this promblem can be fixed or am I entitled to any upgrades.

Did you try to let it connected to USB for charging for a while before asking it anything. When the battery is deeply drained, it can occur that the iPod displays nothing for half an hour, just charging.
Also, make sure your PC gives sufficient power to the iPod for charging, I let mine once for six hours charging on my work's pc, and it didn't display "charged" message even after the 6H charge.
When an USB device is requiring more power than it can receive from the plug it is in, MacOSX advices it to user, It seems that Windows doesn't.

My iphone 4 has been working perfectly until now! The bluetooth no longer switches on and the wi fi also will not switch on! Any suggestions?

My iphone 4 will no longer let me switch on the buetooth or wi fi. It was working perfectly then all of a sudden it all stopped!!!!! Why???????

yes, your option is as limited as getting it into the hands of an apple store employee (or if you have to ship it.. if there is not a store close by)
My wife's old 3G had this problem, it is a battery issue. They replaced my wife's iphone within a day, but I'm not confident any amount of user troubleshooting will fix your problem

My iPhone 5s bluetooth won't stop searching and won't connect to any other bluetooth device.

I've been trying to pair it with my MacBook Pro but the iPhone won't pair.
Nor will the iPhone pair with my JBL Flip.
How do I go about this issue?

If your iPod is still charging if you plug it to the adapter, let it charge for about 10min, then connect to your computer in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If it does not charge, you'll have to get it serviced.
Apple can offer you a replacement device, but you'll have to pay for it:

I have iPhone 4, wife has 3GS. Each have our own PC but one itunes account and icloud. Now have realized that our contacts have merged and appear in duplicate on devices and PC's. If i delete contact it deletes on hers as well. ***! Over!

Also, if we both have iMessage on and someone sends me message she gets it as well and vice-versa

This happens when you try to use the same Apple ID for iMessage. One of you needs to change by going to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, sign back in using a different Apple ID. If you don't have one, you can create one here: https://appleid.apple.com (you will need a separate email address to create one).
On your merged contacts issue, this happens when you sync contacts both phones to the same iCloud account. To correct this, on one of the phones go to Settings>iCloud and turn off syncing for each of the services (contacts, calendars, etc.), when prompted choose to keep the data on the phone. Then scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account (it only deletes the account from this phone). Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn on syncing again. You will need to go to https://www.icloud.com/ for each account and delete the unwanted contacts. Then you should be good to go.

Need serious help. Time is incorrect and bluetooth won't work

I have iPhone 5c and the time is not right. The bluetooth won't connect or even appear. Problem started about 6 weeks ago when I did the update to ios8. I've read as much as I can about the problem. I've did every reset possible and nothing works.
I'm one month past the year warranty. Conveniently. I'm about 40 mins from the nearest Apple store.
Is there a solution or do I need to prepare for this to be junked and go to a Samsung?

Hi Ejjones55,
It sounds quite distressful that your iPhone will not keep proper time and the Bluetooth module does not appear to be functioning correctly. I am going to try to get you back on track so you can use your iPhone as it is intended.
Since you have already reset (restarted) your iPhone, the next step would be to back up any data that you have on it and restore as a new device. See this article for how -
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My blackberry Curve 9380 won't switch on

Hi, my blackberry curve 9380 won't switch on and i have had it on charge since last night. The red light or green light isnt on and it doesnt want to switch on even after i take the battery, sim and SD card out? It is just under a year old. Can anyone help because i need my phone to be on urgently!!!!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
Good luck and let us know!

Bluetooth headphones in 8.1 won't switch between laptop and headphones

can set speakers or headhones as default but won't swich back and forth when push headphone on off button worked perfect on old laptop with win7 now running win 8.1 on hp 13 split x2
turns off headphones totally (need t factory reset) and shuts off music playing until restart

Hi zimmetp,
If I understand correctly you have paired a Bluetooth headphone to your notebook and it works fine. The problem arises when you go back to your regular notebook speakers and/or headphones and the sound doesn't work.
Are you turning off the Bluetooth when you try to go back to regular sound? If the computer still sees a connection to the Bluetooth headphones and they are set to default then it will continue to use those and not the regular ones.
What is your product number?

6822 Bluetooth Stopped working - won't switch on

After all the trouble I went to to get PC-Suite and my Bluetooth Stack working on my laptop, this morning I switch my 6822 on and Bluetooth won't turn on.
From the menu I select Bluetooth which is showing as "Off", I select it and the select 'On' and it immediately returns to the menu showing Bluetooth is 'Off'. There is no Bluetooth symbol on the main screen and the phone doesn't respond to bluetooth conenction requests.
I'm guessing that is is broken!
I've switched it off, removed the battery and left it, put it all back together and still no bluetooth.
Are there any top tips before I throw it in the bin?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

Bluetooth won't switch on and appears as a network device.
