How do I solve iMac "Bluetooth: Unavailable" problem?

I have a 27-inch, Mid 2011 iMac (OS X Lion 10.7.5) which was provided with a wireless keyboard and mouse.  Afer a year of use, I started having intermittent problems with the keyboard becoming disconnected, but the problem usually solved itself after a few seconds.  Now, I am not able to use the wireless keyboard and mouse at all.  I installed new batteries in both the keyboard and mouse, however, it did not solve the problem.  The Bluetooth icon at the top right of the monitor reads "Bluetooth: Unavailable" in light gray lettering.  I am currently typing this with a wired keyboard and wired mouse.  I cannot find any solutions in the Apple Support section.  How can this problem be solved?

Try resetting the SMC.

  • How can I solve the Error 110 problem when trying to modify the Description of Properties of PDF?

    Hello!

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Noelia, i have the same problem, did you solved it ?I had the same issue as Noelia when I investigated Noelia's issue originally (see the TwoVideos sample application in this thread: Re: How can I play different videos with only one MediaPlayer?
    I tried running the TwoVideos sample application today on Windows XPsp3, JavaFX 2.1b17, JDK7u4ea and I was unable to reproduce the problem, so it is likely fixed either 2.1 or (less likely I believe) a Windows 7 only related issue.

  • How do i solve the silverlight installation problems

    How do I solve the Sliverlight installation issues on my new Macbook pro?

    What exactly is the installation issue?
    Uninstall Silverlight: https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/get-started/install/removing-silverligh t-mac.aspx
    Reinstall Silverlight: https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
    Sometimes you may need to repair permissions and users permissions on the machine.
    See #6 and #11 here
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If your having trouble with the installation process, it's sort of the same procedure to install Flash
    How to install/uninstall Flash, fix problems
    Installing software from the web is a bit more difficult than from AppStore.
    Microsoft Silverlight should be approved through Gatekeeper, so having to control or right click on the installer to select "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper shouldn't be required.
    If this is occuring, like it's saying this app can't be installed as it's not from MacAppStore or a Apple Identified Developer, then it's likely not the real Silverlight but a trojan malware.
    Please use the links I've provided to install Silverlight as they are direct to Microsoft.

  • Any way of finding out how Apple will solve the Aperture / ACR problem?

    Has anyone out there gotten any comments from Apple support or other people "in the know" about how Apple is going to solve the Aperture / ACR problem, and any potential time frame?
    Of course, Apple is going to work on problems with its own RAW conversion; that goes without saying. But does anyone have any knowledge of whether Apple is going to open up the ability for Apple to send RAW, unconverted images to Photoshop, so that ACR can handle them?
    I think knowing this now is pretty crucial. I am willing to live with the pain Aperture is going to impose on my workflow, in exchange for the file organization benefits it provides, IF I know that I'll be able to use Aperture with ACR soon (near term). But if Apple is going to just tinker with the RAW converter, and not attempt to send RAW files to ACR, then as someone else posted in another topic, this could be a long wait, and other companies have taken years to hone their RAW converters.
    This is kind of my last-ditch effort to keep Aperture around, and build my workflow around it. If I know that within a month or two at the most, I'll be able to be using ACR directly when editing new versions, then I'll absorb the pain until then. But if I am looking at waiting six months for it (several man years), or riding out the process of Apple trying to get their own converter fixed, then as much as I don't want to, Aperture is going to get returned or hit eBay.
    Does anyone have any idea on this? I've held up my projects for the past week trying to reorganize my workflow to work with Aperture, and I've got to pound the gavel, make a decision, and pursue a direction. Knowing what direction Apple is going to take with this makes all the difference in the world in what I do.
    Thanks in advance for any info you can pass on.

    This "Open External Editor from Master NEF", versus open from a dynamicaly created version is, I have decided, crucial.
    I am getting less clumsy with the interface, but I simply can not get all white balance, and noise reduction done on my best available light shots.
    ACR in CS2, and a subsequent "Neat Image" scrubbing is excellent for this.
    The automatic association within a stack, of the resulting flattened file would be a big difference. I agree a formal statement from Apple would make me more inclined to really commit to Aperture for all my work.
    Going one step further, it would be nice to keep the layers on the round-trip Master file, even if you would work with a dynamicaly created version of the returned "master" within a stack. It would occupy more disk space, but would do so only for those images where the user has made a quality decision.

  • HT4623 How can I solve the Bluetooth problem I have with Code 28

    I am having problems with Bluetooth Peripheral Device drivers not installing Code 28, any advise.

    You might want to ask in the MBP area as well. And there are a number of issues with networking, support for IPv6 (I would disable rather than use Automatic setting) and whether you use Airport or not.
    Take a look on
    http://www.macfixit.com
    http://www.macintouch.com
    where they have some articles - and search Apple Support if this continues. In the meantime, might want to reboot your router and check your settings.

  • How can I solve my photo frame problem?

    Thought I would give this forum a try regarding non-Apple hardware... I have a Coby DP-882 digital picture frame with a SanDisk 2GB card. After connecting the frame via USB, I get the disk reader icon on the desktop. I then just drag the photos there and it loads the frame. I can load about 50MB of digital photo jpegs (using GraphicConverter's browser) when I am prompted that the disk is full. I always make sure the card is cleared before I start and the pane tells me I've got 1.85GB available. My images are only about 500kbs each and I have a total of 400MB to load; should be no problem. I have tried an SD 256MB card to test, same result. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!

    Even forum #1 Old Toad had trouble writing to a card for a photo frame. See this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4336916
    You might try adding one photo at a time, like he did, and see if it will work.
    You said you were doing this through Graphic Converter's browser. Is it the same result if you just use the Finder?
    FWIW, I was able to copy about 587 MB of photos to a 1 GB card that already contained 176 MB. The card had been formatted in a camera (not even the same make as my own camera), and I added my pictures to the existing folder structure - to the same folder containing the other photos. It just worked. This leads to the question: How do you format the card for use in the photo frame? Could the card format have to do with the difficulty in writing to it?
    Please let us know if you get an answer from the Coby support guy. You could help a lot of people with this same problem.

  • HT3887 imac bluetooth connection problems

    Trying to connect my JawBox to my Mac. It doesn't recognize it, even though my ipad does. Suggestions how to hook up.

     
    Hi helisa, 
    Thank you for considering Sony Community!
    There is a possibility that the issue is with your phone since you mentioned you can send files from your laptop to your phone. Let's isolate this by follow these steps: 
    Using your phone, try to send file to another phone or other device. You may also send file to a different computer to test. If still the same result the you may coordinate with Xperia Support for assistance. 
    Power cycle the laptop and your phone. 
    Re-pair your phone to your laptop. Delete the previous settings and repeat the process. 
    Reinstall Bluetooth driver of the laptop - go to Device Manger -> Bluetooth -> right click the driver name and select Uninstall (DO NOT DELETE).
    For further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
    Hope these help.

  • IMac Bluetooth unavailable

    Hi,
    Bluetooth on my 2011 iMac has suddenly stopped working. The squiggly line thru the Blutooth symbol.
    I have checked System Preferences and it says 'no information available' under Bluetooth.
    I have tried deleting the plist file
    I have tried the SMC reset
    I have shutdown unplugged everything and unplugged from mains overnight then powered up
    I have tried above step but pressed SHIFT/CONTROL/ALT and Power button together before powering up
    I seem to have exhausted all the tips I could find and have done a total shutdown and fired up so many times
    Is this going to be an expensive trip to my nearest Apple dealer?

    Try resetting the SMC.

  • How do I solve this distinct count problem?

    Hello experts,
      So, I have an OBI report (table view).  I needed to get the percentage difference btn 2 columns, I did. Then I had to summarize difference in 4 buckets (0-15, 16-30, 31-50, >50%); I did (case statement). NOW,  I need to summarize(distinct count) the above buckets based on Store numbers for each day.
    Basically, if the difference is btn(0-5%) and I have 5 stores then I need to see 5 stores separately. The problem I am having when I do the distinct count instead of having separate counts for each bucket I am getting the total.  I see the buckets summarized, but the store column is showing the total number of all(we have about 700 stores) instead of breaking down the count for each bucket.  In the stores column I am using the distinct count function, I don't know if the problem is here or the case statement for buckets. I don't know either OBIEE is able to do what I trying to do, since I have yet to do this kind of function.  I have gotten few leads on my first post,  so far none of them have worked.
    As always, your insights are highly appreciated,

    Instead of using Distinct Count in Aggregation Rule,Try using in Column Formula.
    Let me know if u need any help on this.
    Thanks,

  • How do I solve my color profile problem?

    When I load photoshop cc I get a message 'The monitor profile 'Samsung Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software'. The monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster 2032BW which worked fine with my previous cs3 version of Photoshop. There doesn't appear to be any updates either for the 2032BW monitor on the Samsung site. Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    I will post some screen shots later.
    I have tried the iTunes username and password but it does not accept these. 
    It is apparently a well known problem in the UK and Apple are also aware of it although they aren't doing much about it - apparently there is to be a 'fix' in the next update?  Not sure, in the meantime, I've been unable to connect to my home broadband for 4months! 
    As I said, none of my other devices, iPod Touch/MacBook/iPad, have this problem.  Just the iPhone 5.

  • How do I solve my wifi connection problem on iPhone5?

    I am not able to connect (AT ALL) to my home broadband wifi.  I have no problems with any other devices other than my iPhone5.  On connection, it asks me for an apple username and password from www.apple.com (that is not the same as my itune username and password).  It then tells me that log in has failed and reverts to a strange peach coloured screen with an announcement that I'm not authorised!
    Any advice would be grately received.
    Thank you.

  • Photosmart printer D110A CN732A How do I solve a port match problem?

    operating system: windows 7
    Error message: port match
    Any changes made to your system before the issue: No
    When I go to print something It tells me it's printing, but then never does. The explanation is always just the simple "error". I've used troubleshoot, re-started everything and ran the diagnostic test which told me it was a port match problem. My printer will still copy.

  • IOS 4.3 Bluetooth Headset Problem

    Does anyone have this similar problem?
    My bluetooth headset (handsfree) disconnects intermittently every few minutes (and auto reconnects in 10 to 20 secs). The "Personal Hotspot" option was disabled as I thought it was interferring with the bluetooh connection.
    But after some trial and error, I disabled the Wi-Fi option, and it solved the bluetooth disconnection problem.
    Prior to IOS 4.2, I have never encountered this problem. Does anyone know how I can downgrade back to IOS4.2?

    After upgrading to iOS 4.3, within a few days later my Jabra WAVE encountered problems with its Bluetooth connectivity. I had no problems pairing with both my iPhone4 and my MacBook (aluminium uni-body model). Unfortunately, I can't control my Jabra WAVE's volume control any more which was clearly shown on my iPhone4. Worse of all, I can hear the caller's voice but not vice versa.
    I thought my Jabra WAVE was faulty, and I tested it on Skype via my MacBook. To my surprise it worked flawlessly. I've a hunch that iOS 4.3 is still very buggy, and Apple iOS engineers haven't rectified lots of these bugs since the last version.
    This is a terrible pain for everyone who's upgraded to iOS 4.3. Bummer
