I have an older macbook im trying to use bluetooth but it needs the drivers please help
where can i download the drivers?
The Bluetooth drivers are included in the full retail install DVD,
they have been in every Mac OS X that supported BlueTooth...
Could it be there is a hardware issue in that MacBook?
Have you looked into Help in the computer to see if an
instructions page can help troubleshoot lack of BT in it?
Apple Support has articles and documents to help do this.
There are very few download drivers for these.
In fact, there are only update versions for use
with certain products, if there are issues. This
article with links is to troubleshoot, and does
include OS X Combo updates, from Apple
Support, since re-applying these can help.
See their troubleshooting tips & see Apple
Support for Bluetooth help info...

Now it's stuck with the progress bar less than a quarter full. I have also tried resetting through itunes which works right up to the point where itunes states that it needs the passcode to be inputted into the ipad to connect to it. At which point it then sticks at the same progress bar point. HELP!! please, this ipad is really important to my work.
Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck -
I have iphoe 3g and seem to need update 4.3 but cant seem to get it as after downloading update it is at 4.2.1 and says it is up to date but whatsapp says I need 4.3 any ideas
4.2.1 is the end of the line for the 3G. It was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You will need to buy a new phone if you want to use that app (and many others) if you don't already have an older version saved in your iTunes library.

Im trying to use cd sharing but cannot access the disc.Please Help!
Im trying to put cds on my new mba using sharing via a pc. I have installed all the necessary software and I can sucsessfully connect the two computers but when I click on the cd icon on my mba it says ' the operation cant be completed as the original item for "audio cd" cant be found. This has happened for three different cds.
Please help me as the mba is my main computer and I desperately need to update my itunes library on my IPhone and IPad!
Thankyou ! xoxI know exactly how you feel.
I have been a Mac person for a long time, but resisted the iPod/iTunes way of doing things because I hated that you could not simply drag-n-drop MP3 files to the iPod, like you could do with just about any other MP3 player that plugged into a USB. It seemed to counter-intutiive that Apple would make it something so simple, difficult.
Yeah, so I bought the iPhone 1 when it first came out, and if I wanted to use it for the music capability, I had to adopt "their way", like it or not. Yes, I do understand that all the restrictions are designed to protect the music industry, for which Apple itself derives a major income. Apple wants you to buy music from the iTunes store, and use their hardware/software, which is designed to protect the music from sharing, which degrades their revenue.
Like everyone else, I surrendered to their music business model. It is, what it is. -

It wont stay open and Im not sure what to do. I've tried everything I can think of, and I'm in need of getting into my photos
What version of iPhoto? What version of OS X?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result. -

Be careful with using system restore as it only restores some file, so you end up with a Firefox installation that has a mixture of old and new files.
Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

MacBook w/ a standard QWERTY keyboard but now need the ability to type in Czech w/ Czech letters.
Any advise is appreciated.
I'm afraid this is the only option currently available. Windows Phone 8 is not Windows 8, so we shouldn't expect the same functionality. Maybe in a later update the option might become available, you can always suggest it to Microsoft HERE

I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. the same thing happens when just trying to save my pictures from iphoto to a flash drive. suggestions to complete backup please?
Sounds like you'll need to access that drive while it is not booted. You need to replace it anyway, so do that, then one way or another (ext enclusure, et), access it and copy files.
If you keep trying to boot it, you might kill it for good and not get your files, so just swap it out first. -
i am try to use my itunes which i have not used in a while trying to do all the upgrades. i have an older macbook but i cant download anything. so is apple saying that i will not be able to connect my iphone to macbook ever unless i get a new laptop?
Your MacBook is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8, which is the minimum required to install the current version of iTunes and sync devices running iOS 7. It doesn't need to be compatible with Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks.

I have an older Macbook with OS/X. Tried to download iTunes 10 a few times now, but when installing I always get the same error message: Run Preinstall Script for Apple Mobile Device Support. What can I do to finalise the installation?
Thanks. Short of the sort of "generic" suggestions of restaring your system, if you haven't, and repairing disk permissions and verifying the disk, I don't have any advice right now. I'll do some research and see if I can come across anything. Meanwhile, someone else may have an idea.
Regards.
