Can't connect to speakers via bluetooth since updating to Windows 8

Hello all. I have an HP Pavilion dm4 3050 laptop. I have spent a lot of time trying to fix my bluetooth problems since updating to 8, and now I need some help!
I go into add a device in a the CP and the machine finds the bluetooth speakers and I add them. I then right click them-> sound settings, then see my speakers below the default device speakers. They are listed as disconnected so I right click them and try to connect but they won't connect. I have updated the Intel bluetooth drivers but the speakers still won't connect. What can I do? Thank you.

BTW it would be nice if the driver update scanner actually worked on the HP website.

    Unfortunately, you can't.  The iphone does not have the protocol for Bluetooth file sharing and so forth, between one iphone and another.

  • 10.4.5 - mac mini can't connect to network via airport since upgrade

    I've been experiencing problems since upgrading to 10.4.3. Mainly, I've noticed that I can't easily connect to our wireless home network all the time. The pattern has been that I start by shutting down my computer completely. When I start up it again, it can't connect to the network. I have to create a new profile and then it will connect. That was buggy, but at least I found a hack. However, since upgrading to 10.4.5, I can't connect to our home network at all. The Internet Connect application says that I am connected to the base station, however I can't connect to the outside world via a shell, browser or email application. Our network is secured with a WEP and the base station is a D-Link. I searched the forums for some tips, but didn't find anything. Pointers appreciated.

    Be very careful about the sequence you do it. You must make sure that the airport connection is turned off (i.e. the airport menu icon looks more like a profiled eyeball without the iris than a series of lines like the towers of hanoi). Then create a new location in the Airport network preference, and make sure that these settings are there under Options
    1. Keep looking for recent networks
    2. Automatically add new networks to the preferred network list.
    3. Change the status of Enable interference robustness.
    And by default, join preferred networks in the Airport location.

  • Can't connect to PC via Bluetooth

    Please help! I have tried to two weeks on two different computers to connect my Palm Zire 72 via Bluetooth.
    On one computer, I'm trying to use the Palm as a remote control using software, but I have to get the Palm and the computer to connect first, and I can't make it happen.
    On the second computer, I'm trying to connect for HotSync. I've gone through the tutorial, and I just can't get it to work.
    I'm using a Bluetooth USB dongle, with BlueSoleil software.
    I am able to pair the two devices in both cases, but they don't connect with each other. I get the following error messages on the Palm:
    Either:
    Error: authentication failure (0x1233)
    or during HotSync:
    The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again.

  • Can't connect to 6230i via bluetooth dongle

    Hi,
    I'm using vista home premium, 32 bit and have installed BlueSoleil bluetooth software version 1.6.1.4 with dongle and have PC Suite version 6.
    On the bluetooth software I can see that it recognises the phone and in paired devices on the phone I can see the PC but it does not give me the option to connect.
    When I try to connect via PC suite I get the message "There is no available connection type and therefore the connection to the phone cannot be established. The wizard will exit."
    I'm not really up to date with this stuff so is there anything I should try to get this to work? Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Yes - it's version 6.84. When I tried to connect PC suite I got the message "Cannot use the connection type. Check that all the needed hardware, software and drivers are available" It's strange because the bluetooth software can see the phone and I can push a business card from the PC to the phone and I can send a picture via bluetooth from the phone and the computer received it.
    Not sure what to try...Seems like PC suite has a lot of issues from looking at this website....

    Re: iPad won't connect to iMac via bluetooth 
    Apr 29, 2012 3:35 PM (in response to mccass)
    I was successful in connecting my iPad and 27" iMac via bluetooth for the purpose of internet sharing, so it can be done. I was able to use my iMac's free wifi connection (which the iPad couldn't pick up, as I don't want to stand by the window) to get internet on the iPad. I forget how, unfortunately, which is why I'm back in the forums - my connection went down!
    *Edit: Foolish me. My iMac shows up under "Devices" on the iPad Bluetooth pane in General Settings. All I had to do was tap it to revive the connection (since I paired the devices the first time I set up the connection). iPad is now getting internet off iMac again :-)

  • Hello Everyone, I just bought a HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g but i find it very difficult to connect to it via BLUETOOTH and WIRELESS on my IPAD 3...i will be very greatfull if i'll get a solution as soon as possible. Thanks

    Hi Tomiwa,
    You cannot print from the iPad to that printer. AirPrint and Bluetooth are completely different.
    There may be apps you can buy that will enable using that printer, but that is not an ideal solution.
    That particular printer has had many bad reviews, and is unreasonably expensive for its features. Considering that you just bought the printer, as well as its lack of AirPrint, I suggest you return it and buy a printer that supports AirPrint.

  • Why is it when i try connecting my iphone via bluetooth it says my computer is not supported?

    Why is it when i try connecting my iphone via bluetooth it says my computer is not supported?

    Because File Transfer, buy Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone. Your computer and iPhone will only pair, by Bluetooth, if you're trying to Tether. If you're not trying to Tether, you can quit tring, as your phone won't pair.

  • I can't get to pair via Bluetooth?

    I can't get to pair via Bluetooth my iPhone to the iPad the iPhone doesn't recognize the iPad, only the hand free of the car.i have shut off the wifi, put it back on, shut off the data roaming put it back on, nothing. Any suggestions?

    And, exactly, what are you trying to do? Your phone won't pair with your iPad, by Bluetooth, unless you're trying to Tether...file transfer, by Bluetooth is not supported on any iPhone. So, unless you're trying to Tether, you can quit trying to pair...it won't.

  • Can't connect to ichat via gmail account

    Hi!
    I can't connect to ichat via gmail account.I created a new account via Preferences window in ichat settings but still can't do it. A pop-up window is shown and it asks to enter a password as ichat cannot log in on my gmail account.I know that i enter a correct password.  has anubody such a problem? how can i find out if it is a problem with the password, or my account name.

    Hi,
    1) The Google Talk option needs to be Enabled in your Google settings.
    2) The name (ID) you enter in Messages or iChat needs to be exactly as you see it when you are logged in to the Google Mail web page.
    (there is a difference between @gmail.com and @googlemail.com IDs)
    3) If you are using the Specific App password method you need to correct password.
    4) In the server Settings (App Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Google Account > Server Settings) try setting port 443 if the 5223 one is not working.

  • Can't connect to internet via MacBook Pro to Airport Extreme

    I can't connect to internet via MacBook Pro to Airport Extreme. I reset AE and modem (power down and back up again). Some computers on my home network will connect fine and others won't. The ones that won't don't populate the DNS server or the Search Domains. AE shows up on all the machines. I have one computer also connect to AE via ethernet and it has the same symptoms. Why do some Macs connect and others don't. Even when I get them to connect when I shutdown or put in sleep mode over night I lose the internet connection and have to start all over. Very frustrating.

    Regrettably no replies. I have struggled with this for days with no success and I have given up on the Airport Extreme. I have found several other Forum posts with very similar problems and no one seems to have a solution to this. It seems other wireless routers work better than the Apple product. I was able to get my old Linksys wireless router reset and it is set up and working well. The Linksys router does populate the DNS servers and domains where as the AE does not. Apple engineers should look into this. If I am mistaken and there is a fix for this someone please let me know, otherwise my AE will probably appear on Ebay very soon.
