HOW TO REMOVE BLUETOOTH DRIVER

I using apple imac 10.6.7 os,can i know how to lock or remove the imac bluetooth driver? Due to the security reason.
thanks.

Why not just turn it off in your system preferences?
And if you really don't want accessing the bluetooth preferences after turning it off remove the preference panel from /System/Library/PreferencePanes.
But if you insist, and really want to remove the drivers, then like any other driver they are in /System/Library/Extensions.  Based solely on the name I assume they are IOBluetoothFamily.kext and IOBluetoothHIDDriver.kext.  It's not clear whether removing those will break your system or not.  So you better keep the originals as backups and be prepared to boot off some other boot disk to restore them (observe ownership and permissions).

  • Satellite A30 - how to remove Hard Drive

    Hi, New Here...
    Can anyone tell me how to remove the hard drive in my Tosh A30...
    Thanks

    Hi Tim,
    The hard drive on your SA30 is underneath the optical drive so you need to slide the optical drive out of its slot (undo the screw marked F5 on the bottom of the notebook).
    The hard drive will then be visible fastened in with four cross-headed screws which must be removed (two on each side of the hard drive. With the screws removed, carefully slide the hard drive towards the front of the notebook to disconnect it from its connector and carefully lift it out of its bay.

    Does anyone know of a way to remove a drive from the media pool of the rotated drive media repository?
    I accidentally added one to the repository and now I want to get it out of there so Veeam Backup & Replication  does not try to backup to a drive that is normally full.

    Hi Frank, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    There still is that paper clip hole, but on some G4s you have to remove the faceplate or even drive to do it.

  • How to remove device driver?

    I have put the wrong driver on my IMac running OSX 10.7.3 and need to go to an older driver. I've tried to find out where the drivers are but no sucess. There is a driver for XBox 360 game controllers that I loaded and it appears in System Preferences but controller hardware is not recognized by the driver even though the System profiler see's the XBox 360 controller listed under USB devices. I'm trying to remove the current driver and load an older driver which some people say works. I can't find any system file with the name XBox 360 in it on my computer but when I try to install an older version of the driver it doesn't allow me because it says I have a newer version on my drive. So in general, how do you remove non functioning drivers?

    If it has a prefpane, then right-click on it and select remove.

  • How to remove hard drive password on a Portege M400-170 ?

    Hi,
    I've read a lot of things in this forum, in the user manual, I even phoned the support Toshiba and i've still no answer to my problem.
    At the first use of the PC, i defined a hard drive password. I now want to remove this password.
    The user manual and the forum advise me to open the bios configuration, under windows, wich is supposed to offer the possibility to change and remove password. No option, no possibility to change nor remove the password.
    The phone support tell me that if the bios configuration under windows do not show the option to change or remove password, I have no way to do this (!!?!).
    I need your knowledge and your help :)
    I thank you in advance.
    Thomas (sorry for my english)

    I understand this sentence in the context of "If you forget your password".
    I have no doubt you are right but i still search because some informations let me hope it's possible ;-)
    In fact, i think this hdd password prevent me to restore my system with, for example, Norton Ghost (when i boot on the restore cd, i can not see my hdd)...
    Perhaps it's another problem, i don't really know.
    Your opinion ?

  • How to remove bluetooth menu

    I recently migrated from a Powerbook, with Bluetooth, to a Tower without. Now there is a non-functional Bluetooth menu in the Menu Bar and the Bluetooth tab of the Keyboard CP is hidden because the machine does not have Bluetooth. Is there any way to turn off the Bluetooth menu short of trashing Preference files? Would it be possible to simply edit the Preference file in Textedit. If so, which one? I am also willing to use the Terminal.
    OSX 10.4.6

    Hi, R C-R —
    Interesting approach; sounds like it'd be cool — and work.
    In re: "slightly annoying" — mho, fwiw:
    AFAIK, circa 10.2.x, Apple "reserved MenuExtras" and decided to introduce a "block" preventing 3rd-party Menu Extras from loading — but folks kept developing them anyway using "hacks."  (e.g., unsanity's "haxies" using its APE.)
    I haven't seen Apple's rationale fully documented, but this hypothesis seems reasonable to me:
      (a) Menu extras are different than, e.g., OS 9.x's menus that offer handy user options. For example, they include what I consider ~critical "status" and functional menus such as AirPort, Bluetooth, TextInput.menu, etc. whose presence (and some of whose "control" options) can be important user interface that shouldn't be interrupted.
      (b) As described in the "Configuring User Sessions" subsection of The Boot Process, these capabilities are essentially double-protected: "If the Finder, Dock, or SystemUIServer processes die for some reason, loginwindow automatically restarts them. In the same manner, if the loginwindow process dies, the launchd process automatically restarts it." Thus, a bit o' 3rd-party misbehavior can not only cause their menu to "crash," but bring 'em all — including Spotlight, and possibly Finder — crashing down, too.
      (c) Given (a) and (b), it would seem a bit foolhardy to "allow" 3rd-party developers to, perchance, sneak in some faulty code that may result in the process described in (b) to do an ~infinite loop of relaunching processes in an effort to keep key capabilities available.
    I've certainly read of — and tried to help folks with — a lot of cases of such problems that were caused, imo, by this dynamic (no matter how vigorously unsanity, et.al. may deny it)!  'tis also a lot of trouble to keep up with when OS X upgrades (or troubleshooting whatever) force a user to disable the thang or find an updated version of the hack...
    All for something that can ~easily be implemented via the Dock, as intended by Apple. Moving the cursor to the Dock's location to access a capability isn't really too much harder than to the menu bar, after all.  Longing to "make X like OS 9.x, etc." doesn't seem worth the trouble — even to people as creative and rambunctious as we rebellious Mac folk.
                    </soap box>
    This is not, of course, a comment on your Script Menu.menu idea.
    Your friend,
    Dean

  • How to remove hard drive to create external back-up drive

    All,
    I have an old Powerbook G4 that has seen better days... I'd like to take the hard drive out of it an make myself an external back up drive.
    Has anyone done this?
    Lindsay

    That should function just fine, with one possible exception. Some very old 2.5" HD's were up to 12.5mm tall (and now at least one of the newest high capacity/300GB drives is over 10, but you don't have to worry about that in your case), and as the specs for this particular case state, it can accept a max height of 10mm. I don't know if Apple ever used 12mm drives in TiBooks, but I don't think so. Even my older Pismo HD is 9 or 9.5mm.
    And from your OP, it sounds like you're retiring the TiBook and using its HD as backup for your new MB, which has USB2, so as you say, speed shouldn't be a concern in that situation.

  • Problem with bluetooth driver (bootcamp windows 7) ! Can't connect any bluetooth device...

    1st word, so sorry about my poor English !
    My device here is : macbook pro mid 2012 MD101 (MacOSX & Windows 7 Ultimate, my question here's on Windows 7) !
    I have a bluetooth mouse and a speaker, at my workplace I need to use 2 devices wireless, although they have both got wires (for aesthetics ya know )
    I've also installed full bootcamp drivers, but bluetooth driver's still not work at all ! So can someone show me how to install bluetooth driver correctly, please ?
    Many thanks to ya all !

    There are a number of posts related to accessing and/ copying issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
     To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
    From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
    Search for: security
    Click 'Local Security Policy'
    Goto Local Policies > Security Options
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
    Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
    De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
    Click OK
     To disable Windows Search:
    Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
    On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
    Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
    Press OK, close all windows and restart.
     A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup 

  • How do you use the bluetooth VIs with a Microsoft Bluetooth Driver?

    How do you use the LabVIEW Bluetooth VIs with the Microsoft Bluetooth driver?  I have been trying with no such luck.
       I want to use 2 computers to talk to each other using the bluetooth VIs.  Eventually, I think we would like a PDA/phone to talk to a custom built electronics board with Bluetooth.  But for now, I would just like 2 computers to talk and then eventually talk to our own device. 
    One is a desktop w/ the Belkin F8T012 USB adapter.  It installs fine with the Belkin driver (but I know I need to use the Microsoft Driver in order to use the LabVIEW VIs, but I have tried to get Windows to install its own but it says it is a BCM92045DG-Flash.  It says it cannot install it because it cannot find the necessary hardware.  I thought this USB adapter was on the approved Bluetooth devices list?  What else should I try?  Another Bluetooth USB adapter? 
    The other computer is a Dell Latitude 820.  It has a built in Bluetooth module which I believe is the Dell 350 Bluetooth Module.  On this machine I have been able to setup a COM port with a bluetooth device (blood glucose meter).  It came with a serial port interface which we modifed to go through a bluetooth interface.  It comes up as COM40. We have been able to communicate to it using their program originally designed to talk through a serial port.  But we would like to use the Bluetooth VIs in LabVIEW.  I can't even use the Discover VI.  Perhaps it is not using the Microsoft Driver as well.  Do I just uninstall the driver and then try to have Windows install its own driver?  Do you have any other recommendations?
    Thanks,
       Javi

    Hi Javi,
    This sounds like an issue with Windows and your specific Bluetooth devices.  As you mentioned, the LV Bluetooth VI's do require that the devices use the Windows drivers.  Take a look at this link for specific requirements for using Bluetooth with LabVIEW.  Also, you can take a look at our Developer Zone tutorial on designing Bluetooth applications a found here.  Regarding your device drivers, sometimes it is as easy as uninstalling the driver and then letting Windows discover the device and fine its own driver.  You could check out the Microsoft Knowledgebase for more information.  Thanks and have a great day!

  • How to remove a mapped drive

    Hi all,
    i created a mapping in my iMac pointing to a folder on my notebook with windows.
    When I start Parallels to run a Windows VM and my notebook is not connected to the lan, the system stays popping up a message saying "The connection fails, maybe the server Notebook doesn't exists or blablabla...".
    I would like to know how to remove this mapping because it doesn't appear on my Mac Desktop if my notebbok is connected to the lan, but when using Parallels, is almost impossible to work with the message popping up all the time.
    TIA,
    Alano.

    The drive doesn't appear on the list...
    That's the problem...I don't know where should I go to exclude this configuration...
