HT1338 "bluetooth not available" message

my computer says "bluetooth not available". My keyboard, mouse and printer are all using bluetooth, and were, yesterday. What does this mean?

Open System Preferences > Bluetooth
Make sure On and Discoverable are selected.
And try deleting the .plist
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

HT1338 Bluetooth: Not Available..What happen? How to resolve?

Recently my mouse lost its connection to my MacBook. Despite several restarts, the Bluetooth icon still noted that "Bluetooth: Not Available". Not sure what had happened. Anyone here can help me resolve this?

'Bluetooth not available' error message since upgrading to Leopard

Hi, I regularly seem to get a 'Bluetooth not available' error message since upgrading to Leopard, any ideas why, have to reboot to shake it.
cheers

I solved the same issue by resetting the SMC. With the computer off, remove the battery and press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. Then reinstall the battery and restart. I haven't had any bluetooth issues since.

"Bluetooth: Not Available" after upgrading to Yosemite

Hello everyone,
I just upgraded my MacBook Pro (15" with retina) to Yosemite this morning, and could not use my wireless trackpad correctly anymore (i can't scroll or swipe)
The bluetooth icon in status bar is grey and says "Bluetooth: Not Available"
The weird thing is, i'm still using my wireless keyboard and trackpad (i can move the pointer and left-click).
So the bluetooth module is somehow still working.
I tried deleting the "com.apple.bluetooth.plist" file, and the SMC reset "fix".
But it is still .. it remains "not available".
Any ideas ?

Hey there CesarD,
It sounds like your wireless keyboard and trackpad do seem to be working but for some reason the bluetooth icon is grey and you get a message saying that bluetooth is unavailable, even after deleting the bluetooth plist file, and resetting the SMC. I would next do these steps from the following article found here:
OS X: Bluetooth devices become unresponsive
Shut down your Mac, disconnect all USB devices for two minutes, start up, and re-connect your USB devices once again.
If the issue persists, I would next reset your PRAM for good measure:
OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Bluetooth not available after upgrading to Mountain Lion

Mine is a mid-2011 iMac. I tried all the ways listed in https://discussions.apple.com/message/4874277?messageID=4874277#4874277?messageI D=4874277 but with no luck.
Anyone experienced similar issue with a solution?
Thanks.
Wenbin

Yes, I'm having the exact same problem.
1. Bluetooth not available from the menu option "Bluetooth: Not Available"
2. Yet, my Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse works as a basic mouse
3. None of my gestures on magic mouse work (scrolling, swiping, etc.)
4. My Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard works, but the iTunes control from F7 to F12 no longer work as the pictures imply (e.g. F12 should be volume increase, but it goes to Dashboard)
Reboot doesn't fix it. Haven't try safe mode.
APPLE, PLEASE HELP.

What is Bluetooth "Not Available"?

I have been using my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard successfully for several months with no problem. Suddenly, I am getting a "not available" message. The odd thing is that yesterday, when this happened the first time, I was able to get it to work by restarting. Worked fine all day. Turned on the computer this morning, and it's not working again. Can anyone suggest what might be going on and how I can fix it?
imac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Noticed that my Macbook2GHz Core Duo (512, 80GB) running all of the latest Software updates for 10.4.10 all of a sudden wouldn't fall asleep for longer than 5 minutes, and then wake itself up and cycle over again. Closing the lid and trying to get it to fall asleep would result in it cycling the CD/DVD drive over and over and over repeatedly.
I then wanted to send a mp3 clip over to my Motorola V551 cell via bluetooth and noticed it was missing. HUH!?
Checked on the discussion boards here and found all sorts pertaining to these issues. Tried everything from reseting SMU (PMMU sorts) Directory Repair via Disk Utility, throwing blue.plist (access via ROOT login) bluetooth.plist and bluetoothFileExchange.plist into trash, even installing a FanControl prefrence pane but none of this helped bring back Bluetooth or the sleep issue resolved.
Finally decided to erase entire drive and reinstall from original install disks with MacBook.
YAY!
This worked. I've taken the next step of updating via Software update panel.
WHOA! This just in, as I've been restoring my user directory, Bluetooth has since once again become unavailable.
Something fishy is going on here!
Anyone have similar issues and results?
Suggestions anyone?

IMac takes 4 minutes to boot up, bluetooth not available

Hello, this is my first post on Apple Discussions!
The day before yesterday we had quite a vicious storm here and lost power for about a minute. My Mac was switched on when the power cut out, but I was downstairs, having some lunch. Unfortunately, I have no surge protection on my power bar / extension cord thing (I know...). I immediately unplugged it, only turning it back on after the storm had calmed down.
Thinking nothing of it, I powered on my Mac and left it unattended for about 10 minutes (so I don't know how long it took to boot up!). When I came back, I was greeted by the login screen and proceeded as usual. However, the next time I powered on my computer, I could not get past the white screen after the chime (no Apple logo). Now, this has happened to me before, so I waited a couple of minutes. Nothing. I decided to power it down (holding down the power button) and try rebooting it, this time holding down the option key (to bring up the partitions), as this has helped me in the past. White screen for a couple of minutes. Impatient and annoyed, I powered it down again. Rebooted holding down the shift key, for Safe Mode. Nothing again. This time I left it on the white screen while I looked for an old USB keyboard, thinking my wireless keyboard might not have been pairing. Little did I know I would have to use this sh***y keyboard from this point forward.
So, I got my keyboard (remember I had left my Mac on the white screen) and when I returned I was pleasantly surprised to see the login screen. I noticed, however, that I could not use my wireless keyboard (I have a wired Razer mouse). So I plugged in the old PC keyboard I found, and logged in. Which is when I noticed the Bluetooth icon was strange; it was greyed out and had a jagged line through it, and when I clicked on it, said "Bluetooth: Not Available".
I restarted my Mac, just to see if the issues would be fixed. Nope. It took about four minutes to start up, and no Bluetooth. I checked the System Preferences and it says there is "No Bluetooth Hardware Found". "No information found" in System Information either.
The problem is that during the white screen on bootup (I always hear the chime btw), I have no control. I cannot enter Safe Mode, see the partitions, reset the NVRAM or PRAM. I just have to wait until I see the Apple logo after about four minutes. After login, everything (bar Bluetooth) seems fine. I have verified disk, and it says it's fine. Verified and repaired permissions as well. I looked and noticed that I have no com.apple.bluetooth.plist file in my library.
I don't know what to do from here! My extended Apple Care has expired Should I install Mavericks? Could that fix my problems? Or should I clean install ML, and then install Mavericks? But if the storm did do some damage, the issue is probably hardware... Please help me.
Thanks, and sorry for the length
PS. I have been having a little trouble with my finder since a while now (months). Sometimes, when I open a folder the CPU will shoot up to 100% and the Mac would freeze for a couple of seconds. Then it would be normal again. I have used up about 1.5 TB (including a Bootcamp partition) from my 2TB HDD. I doubt this is related, but I though I'd throw it in anyway. Again, I apologise for the length.

Installing a new OS X over a problematic one will get you a new problematic OS X.
I suggest you run repair disk first. Then I would reset the SMC.
I "think" that some of your problems stem from the power problem you described. No surge protector is akin to (fill in the negative outcome blank). The lecture ends here.
IMHO, you have some hardware problem(s). I suggest you take the computer to an Apple store for diagnosis. Be sure to bring your documentation of the things above along.

               All wireless disabled
               Auto login

Bluetooth not available MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) Yosemite

Hi guys, I've been having a problem lately and I can't find a fix for it. My problem is my bluetooth button on the top menu bar had a black squiggly line through it then when I click on it, it says "Bluetooth: Not Available". When I go to system preferences the tab for bluetooth isn't even there its just gone all there is is network. I am trying to connect my magic mouse which has worked fine until now, I had this problem in Mavericks and upgraded to Yosemite to see if that would fix it, Also please note I have tried Resetting PRAM, Deleting the bluetooth files, and Force-quitting "blued" which didn't do anything.

Well then, unfortunately for you, the conclusion becomes clear: your BlueTooth isn't working correctly anymore.
You can try reinstalling OS X from the Recovery Partition - boot your computer with the [cmd] + [r] keys pressed until you see a Utilities window - but since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite pretty much amounts to a reinstall anyway I am not giving it much of a chance at success. Still, won't hurt though. Contact AppleCare for warranty options.

"Bluetooth: Not Available" problem created by software update; need help please?

I ran a regular software update as prompted by my iMac to get to 10.6.8, and now have "Bluetooth: Not Available" with squiggly line thru it. I've tried an SMC, updated software to 10.8.4...no availability of my Bluetooth to work the magic mouse, or any ability to access Bluetooth in System Preferences...help please?

You say you have "tried an SMC." Reset the SMC nd PRAM again.
Barry
P.S. It is unlikely that the update had anything to do with the missing Bluetooth.

EDI: Partner profile inbound not available Message no. E0337

Hi Friends,
I am facing very wiered issue for incoming vendor frieght invoice. When the IDOC is sent to SAP from the edi subsystem, it gets posted with status 56 and error message
EDI: Partner profile inbound not available
Message no. E0337
Diagnosis
An inbound partner profile could not be found with the following key:
/0040000010/LI/VN/INVOIC/MM///
This involves the key fields of table EDP21:
-SNDPRN partner number of sender
-SNDPRT partner type of sender
-SNDPFC partner function of sender
-MESTYP logical message type
-MESCOD logical message code
-MESFCT logical message function
-TEST test flag
I have created the partner profile in WE20 for Partner type LI, partner role VN and process code INVL, message type INVOIC, message code MM. I have also checked the entry in TABLE EDP21 and the entry exists.
When I open the IDOC in WE19, and click on standard inbound TAB it says partner profile not maintianed, however when i click on the control record it opens a dialog box, where we have all the entries for partner profile and when I just click on any field in the dialog box and click continue and when again click on standard inbound it say partner profile maintained.
None of the data is changed in the IDOC control record, I just click on any field and it finds the partner profile.
Please let me know your thoughts, what could be possible reason and a solution.
Thanks
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
I am facing the same problem with a different message type.
But same effect. I can copy the IDoc with WE19 and it will process nicely, completely unchanged.
Have you found the reason for this?
Thanks,
Florian

Bluetooth not available error

I got a early 2008 MAC PRO with additional wireless keyboard and mighty mouse few weeks ago.
Recently I keep encountering the "bluetooth not available" problem after software update (system reboot) if I have USB devices attached to the MAC PRO. Also, if I connect the Logitech quickcam ultravision directly to the MAC PRO, the bluetooth will have "not available" error after system reboot. If I connect the quickcam to the USB HUB, the problem won't happen.
This error happened again when I install the new Safari update while I have the keyspan USB-to-Serial connected to the MAC PRO.
I have all the latest updates installed in my MAC PRO. I don't know what happened, but I hope this problem can be fixed so that I don't have to keep unplugged all my USB equipment if I need to reboot my MAC PRO.

Hi there,
I just had the exact same thing happen! I had my usb 2 flash stick and MyBook 320HD only. I then noticed that the MyBook wouldn't sleep even though the Mac was shut down. I had to force shut off the drive by removing the power lead. I restarted the Mac with no usb whatsoever and voila! All is now ok.. I wonder if this is connected with the motherboard power management??
