HT1153 Bluetooth not pairing after update

I have a Macbook Pro running the latest update of Yosemite, 10.10.3. Prior to the update, my Bluetooth connections were spotty at best. Bluetooth devices don't always appear, and when they did appear, the connection would drop or not connect at all. Since I updated a few days ago, I can't connect to anything (my speaker close by doesn't even show up in Bluetooth preferences.) I've tried all the basic stuff, like removing devices and trying to readd them, turning Bluetooth off and back on, trying different devices (that work perfectly with my iPhone), and I've even tried resetting the PRAM and doing the Apple hardware test. I'm at wit's end. Anybody have any ideas? I'd be deeply in debt to whoever can get this darn thing working again.

Try downloading and installing the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update. You can also try:
Shut down your Mac, disconnect all USB devices for two minutes, start up, and re-connect your USB devices once again.
If you have Wi-Fi enabled try turning it off to see if BT starts working: AirPort and Bluetooth- Potential sources of interference.

  • WINDOWS 8.1 BLUETOOTH NOT WORKING AFTER UPDATE ON ACER V3-571......Solved!!!!!!

    Hello everyone, if anyone has had the horrible task of trying to get his or her bluetooth working after upgrading to windows 8.1, then look no further.  It took me hours and hours of faffing and fist raging, but in the end, there can be only one.  Anyway...Here is your solution.....Ps! I already upgraded to Windows 10, but went back to 8.1 as it trashed my PC and cost me 3.5 half days of painstaking re-install to get my laptop to work again. (WINDOWS 10...DONT BOTHER IN MY OPINION) I have :  ACER V3-571 64 BIT WIN 8.1  AGAIN. . IF YOU UPGRADE THIS LAPTOP TO WINDOWS 10...YOUR DOLBY V4 WILL STOP WORKING...was the start of a new nightmare for me.  MICROSOFT UPGRADE YOUR ACER WITH THEIR OWN DRIVERS WHEN YOU UPGRADE TO A NEW OPERATING SYSTEM, OFTEN THIS LEADS TO STUPID FIDDLY THINGS LIKE APPS AND APPLICATIONS NO LONGER WORKING.... SO here we go!!! SOLUTION TO BLUETOOTH NOT WORKING V3-571 ACER WIN 8.1 64-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------1) Switch off your bluetooth    .........search top right screen > Settings > Bluetooth > Toggle off!2) Right Click your windows logo on the left hand side of your screen > device manager > Bluetooth >Uninstall totally the bluetooth driver and or delete.3) Exit device manager.4) www.google. > find acer drivers > acer website.  On website to find drivers, use auto detect serial number > go to your downloads folder >open downloaded auto detector > copy serial number> back to asking box for your serial number >right click > Paste serial number.5)Select operating system from drop down menu (typically windows 8.1)6Drivers > Select Bluetooth Qualcom Atheros Driver 647) Go to downloads on your pc8) Right click the downloaded bluethooth qualcom atheros zip folder >  > extract here9) Go into unzipped bluetooth folder > Double Click the installer Icon > Run installer10) Restart PC11) Boom!!!  Happy Days.....Nightmare over.  YOUR BLUETOOTH WILL NOW CRUISE  Hope this will help other people, I had a nightmare for a good few hours trying to get my bluetooth to work again after upgrading to Win 8.1 FROM Win 8.     

    I am not bothering with windows 10 my friend, it is too much of an newbe baby at the moment and there are just too many bug fixes need doing in my opinion.  I did manage to get my dolby home theatre to work again in windows 10, but it was an awful dulled down version with only half the features of the original that came with the version that was on my pc. My plan is to stick to windows 8.1 until it's death.  When they withdrawl all the security patches for windows 8.1 and it becomes obsolete, then I will be forced to trash my pc again and go to windows 10, was not much fun mind spending 3.5 days putting everything back to its former state.   Hope they do make windows 10 more stable and fix a lot of the bugs.  I tried opening videos and pictures in windows 10.... result = missing element errors.... and  error, error,  error,,,  So I think I will wait until 28 July 16 to when the last day of my free upgrade and reservation to windows 10 becomes mandatory.  (This is I day before my year to upgrade expires). Thanks for your post.  Will

  • HT201321 my Apple wireless keyboad and Mouse dosent work since one Month after geting the new iMac 27 !Would  getting the Osx 10.7.Bluetooth utility  repaired after  updating  onto 10.7.5 &  Admin Tools 10.7.5 ?

    Hi Dears
    My Apple wireless Mouse and keyboard   dose not work since one Month after getting the new iMac 27 !
    The Bluetooth assistant could find the Devices for few seconds but can not pairing them ? at least get  an error
    Operation system is already of version 10.7.5 updated ,but no use ?!
    Could  getting the Os x 10.7.5 Bluetooth utility  repaired after  updating  to  Admin Tools 10.7.5 ?
    When not ,than advice me please to repair or solving this problem ,

    Your problem is likely due to
    com.paceap.kext.pacesupport.snowleopard 5.9.1
    I would recommend tracking down the app that uses this and unionist all it completely from  your computer. Also if you have upgraded the RAM on the machine you may have a RAM falling DIMM or it may have become unseated or it might not be the correct specs for your machine.

  • My new iPad sound is not working after updating to ios 6.1

    My new iPad sound not working after updating to ios 6.1. Headphones are working fine. I tried all the troubleshoot. can anyone know the answer, plz share with me

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same issue as everyone above. I only get sound through the slider on the ringtone in settings and through my headphones. I do not get any sound anywhere else at all.
    I Have tried:
    - Updating to iOS 6.1.3
    -re starting the device
    -checking that the device is not muted. My slider switch is set to mute rather than lock and is unmuted.
    -going into general settings and reset all settings
    -the device reset several times (waiting until I saw the all important apple logo)
    -removing the last few apps I installed.
    Nothing at all has worked, please help!

  • HT1688 My Hot Spot does not work after update to 6.0.1.  Service is with ATT.  Apple says problem is with ATT, ATT says problem is with Apple.  Anyone else having this problem?

    My Hot Spot does not work after update to 6.0.1.  Any suggestions?

    Ok, I had the same issue, my phone is unlocked(iphone 5 with 6.1.3). So I went to the apple store and had it replaced. it worked good for a day and started doing the same thing. When the apple tech replaced my phone, he transfered my screen protector to the new one.
    so I thought it was my sim card, I put in my sisters sim card from a different carrier and it did the same, so then I was like let me take off the screen protector, and that was it.
    so guys, if you have a screen protector on your phone and it's doing "low signal", "No Service", "Searching", "Full bars cycle" then take off the screen protector. so far my phone is working normal.

    This sounds more like a hardware issue.
    Have you checked that the dock connector port is not dirty?

  • 3G is not working after updating to iOS 6.1

    My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network, restarting the phone etc.
    With this kind of bugs in every update, Apple will no more be THE Apple.
    There are bugs which have not been fixed even in the subsequent updates. SMSs going blank being one of them.
    Miss you Sir Jobs.....

    I have since managed to sort mine out - when the phone was updated it wiped out the network settings. 
    I was able to reset them by manually putting the information in:
    Settings - General - Cellular - Cellular Data Network and then I put in the correct details for APN, username and Password in the relevant sections and now it works OK.
    Hopefully it will work for others too

  • Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "

    Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
    i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

    Hi There
    Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
    Solution to working You Tube app:
    -Go to playstore
    - Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
    - "Et Voila", working again.
    This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
    Hope it helped.
    Best Regards

  • My iphone 3gs is not activating after updating my software with i tunes...what shall i do? cant i go back to my normal version which was ios 4.1

    my iphone 3gs which is not associated with this accunt is not activating after updating the sof tware, it connects to i tunes but i tunes says "we arh your unable to continue with your activation at this time, please try again later or contact customer care". my iphone aslo just says it cannot be activated or something like that every time i try. i have been waiting for 4 hours now but it still hasnt worked. how can i uninstal this update and go back to my old version which ws ios 4.1 or or ios 4,3. i dont even know what version it updated to, im assuming it is ios5 but not sure. it says try connecting to i tunes as well but it is connected and i tunes cant activate it either. my phone is connect to a wifi but it stll says no service.
    i will really appreciate some help.
    thanks.

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • Anyone else's iPhone 4s speaker not working after update to iOS 6.1?

    My speaker does not work after updating the software to iOS 6.1. No sound for incoming calls or texts, no speakerphone, no siri, no music or any sounds played from apps. Headphones still work as does anything plugged into the headphone jack. I've check all my settings - everything is correct. I've rebooted and restored settings several times, I've docked it - nothing works.
    Anyone else having this problem? Did anyone have this problem and were able to fix it? Does anyone know if Apple is aware and will be sending another update to fix it? I really don't think it's a hardware problem. Phone is in immaculate condition and never dropped or spilled on.

    As stated...
