Disable Bluetooth Option

Our company deals with audio/video media provided by content providers and per MPAA guidelines we need our macs configured where no media content can be copied/transferred out of Macs via External Drives, Wireless, Bluetooth etc.
I was able to configure mac to restrict copy to external connected drives. But iam wondering how to disable bluetooth option so that data transfer to a bluetooth device can be avoided. Is there a way we can disable or remove bluetooth option in Macs?
Thanks for yourhelp

Have you checked this item in BIOS: "BIOS --> Security --> I/O Port Access --> Bluetooth"?

How to add the bluetooth option in t420s?

Hello, guys.
I've purchased the 4170CTO (T420s) without a bluetooth option.
After a while I've decided that I need bluetooth.
According to the manuals I've found that I need FRU 60Y3271 and I've ordered it from Amazon.
But when the item came, I've found strange things.
First - this item was already on the board (so, I've paid for the FRU in vain).
Second - the item doesn't work. It looks like it is some kind of 'disabled', or 'locked'.
Changing the on-board copy of the bluetooth subcard to the one just purchased hasn't work.
The bluetooth option is enabled in bios ('security - ports' section).
What else could I do to solve the issue?
Or, do I need something else to engage the option which wasn't selected when I've purchased the laptop?

You need the bluetooth software and access connections installed. Then you hit Fn+F5 and enable bluetooth. Once enabled the device will appear in Windows.

Disable Bluetooth running at startup.

How can i disable bluetooth running each time windows starts, as i want it _only sometimes_ - not always. My notebook is A200 23W and i have wi-fi always on.

There is a new Bluetooth stack version available.
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=download
It has two new startup options
"Right click Bluetooth systray icon >Options > IT Admin > IT Security settings >Settings...>Limit Bluetooth settings".
Now you can decide if Bluetooth should always be disabled after startup.
"Turn off Bluetooth function on exiting Bluetooth Manager":
- This means you have to enable it e.g. by using the Bluetooth systray icon if you want to use it after the bootup
"Do not register Bluetooth Manager on startup"
- This option allows you to do not start Bluetooth at all after startup.
In this case you need to start Bluetooth from the Program folder in oder to use it.

How do I completely disable Bluetooth Sharing without disabling bluetooth completely on Mac OS 10.7.2?

I'm trying to secure my Mac Pro that is running 10.7.2 and the only thing left that I cannot get figured out is how to completely disable Bluetooth Sharing without turning off Bluetooth altogether. Initially I thought that it was blocked in System Preferences -> Sharing unless you had an admin password, but it's the only option that is available no matter if the user is standard or admin. Is there any way to completely disable this box from toggling on or off?

Hi Adam, I see there are no replies to ur question. I have the same problem. I can turn bluetooth sharing on or off without my admin password. Please reply if you have found a solution. thank you!

How to disable the option of "Overprint [Black] Swatch at 100%" in Indesign by Java Scripting

Hi Guys,
We have a requirement where we have to disable the option of "Overprint [Black] Swatch at 100%" in Indesign. This option is available when we go to Indesign ---> Preferences----> Appearance of Black.
Also, if a user opens a file, in which the swatch is already enabled, then it should prompt him for disabling.
I am aware of doing it through AppleScripting, however I would be needing it on both mac as well as Windows Workstations and hence as such I require a JavaScript here.
I am novice to JavaScripting and any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks Everyone,
Abhishek

Thanks for your response!!
However, currently this action gets applied to only active documents.
Can we keep the status disabled after we close the indesign document. We need to have it disabled in the preferences panel.
Thanks again for your help !!
Regards,
Abhishek

How to disable the option of "Overprint [Black] Swatch at 100%" in Indesign by Apple Scripting

Hi Friends,
I am new to Indesign Scripting by Apple Script. As a beginner, I am trying to do some basic scripting in Indesign by Apple Script.
My aim is to disable the option of "Overprint [Black] Swatch at 100%" in Indesign. This option is available when we go to Indesign ---> Preferences----> Appearance of Black.
Also, if a user opens a file, in which the swatch is already enabled, then it should prompt him for disabling.
I can make a display dialog in AppleScript. But, I am bit unsure as how can I go ahead and disable this option. I tried this below script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
      tell every layout window to set overprint preview to false
end tell
However, it is changing the view option to overprint preview.
Appreciate your help and suggestions!
Thanks,
Abhishek

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
          tell the active document
                    set overprint black of document preferences to false
          end tell
end tell

PC Suite 6.8 - no bluetooth option!

Hi All,
I got my new 6021 from work this week and decided the best way to get all my contact information onto the shiny little thing would be through bluetooth and pc suite... not as easy as I thought it would be!
1. First stop nokia website and download PC Suite 6.8.
2. Install bluetooth dongle and software (IVT Bluesoleil 2.1.2.0 stack)
3. Reboot
4. Install PC Suite
5. Start up PC Suite, get connected... STOP! No bluetooth choice!!
Since then I have uninstalled, reinstalled and rebooted in every possible combination but still no luck, I've never once been given the bluetooth option.
After reading on here about the supported release of Bluesoleil at 1.6.1.4 I uninstalled everything and started again with that release. Same problem...
I'm really stuck now, what can I do?
I'm running Windows 2000 SP4 and really don't want to revert to cables...
Any help and ideas appreciated. Cheers!
Mike

Hi Manta,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm pretty sure I've tried this already having read it somewhere, but tried again this morning and unfortunately it has made no difference...
I'm really really confused now...
Thanks,
Mike

How to disable save option from adobe toolbar in Acrobat Reader

We need to disable Save option from Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer 8/9/10 version.
Acrobat version is X.
Is it possible to disable Save ( Floppy Disk) icon?
We have disabled printing and copying.
Please help

You are, I'm afraid, chasing an impossible security that cannot exist. Many have sought this, but it just isn't there -- and there is so much more than the save button involved.
If you are a big enterprise with sensitive information consider DRM solutions ($$$$+).

Disable Bluetooth File Transfer - Windows 7

How do I disable Bluetooth file transfer for Windows 7? I am planning to see if it can be done via Group Policy (custom adm or GPP) or by creating a power shell script.
I read the existing questions here but its getting me nowhere. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/0a04b41b-05a8-4d7b-9ae0-212137cc4af7/restrict-bluetooth-file-transfer?forum=winserverGP

Hi,
For Bluetooth devices, try this :

If it doesn't work, You may also try to use GPP Services to disable the Bluetooth Support Service (BthServ).

Is there a way to disable the option to save files in the cloud for a companies user base in the new subscription model??

Our corporation is mandated by privacy laws within provincial legislation that prevents us from using cloud based storage outside of our province for the storage of data. We are unable to continue using Adobe products based on the new subscription based model due to the inclusion of cloud based storage. We need to have a way to disable the ability/option for our large corporate user base to store data files in the cloud. Merely having the "option" to store files in a location of one's choice is not sufficient based on the policies we are legally forced to adhere to. Without the option of disabling the cloud storage for our user base we will be forced to look at other vendors products to fill the needs we have that are currently filled by the Adobe line of products. We would prefer to stay with Adobe products...so if someone knows how to disable this option (via registry edits, etc.), please advise.

hi Nikolay,
there is no clean solution for your problem. Browsers cache files by url, you can avoid caching appending in query string unique value per deployment. For example
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<current date> - will be refreshed from cache when day changes
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<GUID> - if guid is generated on every request, this file should never cache
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<product version> - more preferable solution, browser will update cache on every new version that was deployed
Actually, ScriptLink should take care about this, internally it has a method that appends unique id into query string based on js file content, if content changed, hash is also changed and new unique id is generated.

Need to disable Bluetooth

I have a customer who needs to disable Bluetooth on his new Macbook Pro for work in a security zone. We have renamed the IOBluetoothFamily.kext and IOBlutetoothHIDDriver.kext files (System/Library/Extensions) but the device can still be turned on in System Prefs. We need to be able to disable the ability to turn Bluetooth on most of the time, but have the ability to turn it on again when in a non-secure zone.
We need to do the same with the internal Mic...suggestions?

How to disable the option of Resart for application error in SXMB_moni

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario of JDBC to Proxy.In this we have created Fault message type to capture any error.The requirement is to disable the option of Restart in SXMB_MONI for application error generated with Fault message.We have made coding for generating application error in inbound proxy code.Looking for a quick reply.
Thanks
Deepak

Hi Mayank,
I am looking for disabling the "Application Error" generated from Fault message of inbound proxy to "Resart" using Resart button in SXMB_moni of Application system ECC.what I am referring to is how to disable u201Crestartu201D (not resend) of the messages in SXMB_MONI if they have errors.
For example, the interface to load some entries calls a proxy which may load some messages successfully and some may result in errors. This would appear in the SXMB_MONI with application errors with restart capability. If the user restarts the message it will post the entries again which were successfully posted earlier. We would like to prevent this from happening.
Thanks
Deepak
