I lost my bluetooth after installation of Maverick2. Can anyone help me please, i cannot use my magic mouse on my Mac Book Pro  retina???

There is a fix; I finally discovered how to clear the Windows 7 xx64 Device Manager's warning of a missing Bluetooth Peripheral device.
Thinking Boot Camp 4.0 would correct thid, I installed it ititially today only to have the warning remain.
The Bluetooth company called Broadcom (you notice the reference during the installation of Boot Camp) offers a BlueTooth "device finder" (my phraseology) that detects all BlueTooth devices in your Apple or PC but withing a Windows operating system; included are Windows 7 , Vista, XP and even 2000 operating systems.
So download the 3 MB file, from Broadcom.com.  While your Bluetooth equipment is plugged in to the computer, run the program.  The program searches for any BlueTooth peripheral activated equipment and BlueTooth devices that makeup your MacBook Pro, or other Apple or a plain PC computer having a Windows operating system installed.  It then downloads the appropriate software required.
The company's URL address:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php
In my case, I ran the program, rebooted my MacBook Pro (in Windows 7 x64 and with the new Boot Camp 4.0 installed) and the missing BlueTooth peripheral device indication was eliminated.  It took 10 minutes to complete.

  • I am trying to install a program on my Mac Book Pro Retina from a Apple SuperDrive. Every time I run the installer, it says I do not have enough memory to install. However, I definitely have enough memory (186.74 GB). Any ideas why?

    I am trying to install a program on my Mac Book Pro Retina from a Apple SuperDrive. Every time I run the installer, it says I do not have enough memory to install. However, I definitely have enough memory (186.74 GB). The program takes only 550 MB. Any ideas why?

    Thanks for the clarification on the terms. I consider myself proficent at my computer, but not exactly in its inner-workings! I have 8 GB of memory installed.
    I am still confused as to why I do not have any space for the program. This is the exact error message I get: "There is not enough free space on Macintosh HD disk. The Print Shop 2 application requires about 550 MB to be installed. Free some disk space and try again."
    Thank you again for your help.

  • I use a two button mouse with my Mac Book Pro.  It works fine, but after installing Lion, the mouse wheel goes in reverse of what it did (rolling the wheel towards your palm goes up not down the page).  Anyone know how to fix this?

    Download iTunes 11 from the Apple site and reinstall. The error message was quite plain in telling you what to do to resolve the error.

  • I am resurrecting my old iMacG5 for my grandson. Appleworks has question mark in dock and does not load from bundled software on original installation discs. Can anyone help?

    I'm sorry no-one has answered you yet - I'm afraid I don't know the answer to the question: but I wanted to put into your mind that starting up with AppleWorks at this stage isn't a good idea. The program was 'end-of-lifed' years ago, it won't run on Lion, and some of the document types created in it - Databases in particular - cannot be opened at all by any other program whatever. Word Processing documents can be opened in Pages, and Spreadsheets in Numbers (with some reservations in both cases), but building up a collection of AppleWorks documents at this stage is going to lead to problems later on.
    It's difficult to know what to recommend for a PowerPC machine that would still be compatible with modern ones. An older version of Microsoft Office, perhaps, if you can find one which will run on PPC; but most of the modern Word Processors are Intel only. This is something you would need to investigate.

  • HT3180 hi guys, have lost the menu on my apple tv, only gives me computer and settings, its onlu 5 months old, can anyone help me please

    hi guys, have lost the menu on my apple tv, only gives me computer and settings, its onlu 5 months old, can anyone help me please??

    I called Apple support, no support. Called my Internet support, no support. If your Apple TV is connected up to your Internet via wireless...... hard wire to your Internet turn it on and poof it connects.  Disconnect the hard wire from your Internet and it still will work. For what ever reason my wireless was not cutting it for updating the time and date which seems to be really important to Apple TV.
    Good luck

    hi my name is najji i am from kuwait my ipad it lost i do not where is it can you help me please and thanx

    If you set up the Find My iPad service prior to losing your iPad, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPad is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPad service disabled or the iPad been completely restored).
    If you did not set up Find My iPad, then there is no way to track it.

  • I think my wife has lost all her data after Restoring incorrectly .. can anyone help? I will add a longer explanation

    Help ... My wife got an old laptop working again today. On there was an iTunes which she hadn't used for a year or more.
    1. Marie plugged her 6 month old iPhone 4s into iTunes (the first time she had done this)
    2. iTunes said she needed v 10.5 or above
    3. She downloaded iTunes 10.7
    4. She plugged iPhone back into iTunes
    5. her iPhone showed the iTunes install screen
    6. The screen message said an iPhone has already been synced with this iTunes (in fact it was an iPod Touch). She was asked whether she wanted to add this as a new iPhone, or if she wanted restore to "Marie's previous iPod Touch settings?"
    7. You can guess what happened next. Marie mistakenly pressed Restore.
    8. After she had done Restore, the phone asked her if she wanted to join iCloud and use location services etc. She clicked yes. However, by that time I am pretty sure she'd blanked the content on the iPhone by the mistaken restore from the old Touch.
    8. We now have no photos, videos, contacts or text messages on the iPhone.It has been Restored with the content on what was a more or less blank iPod Touch.
    QUESTION: I think she has replaced all of our content with, basically, nothing. We had many cherished photos and videos on there. Is there ANY way we can get our photos, videos etc back? Marie doesn't think she did a backup before Syncing her iphone.But would the phone have backed up previously, without her knowledge? Given that she had never plugged it into iTunesbefore...
    First time we've used the Community. Marie is utterly distraught at the thought that we've lost tons of videos of our 2 year old daughter.
    Can anyone help?

    Have you rebooted mac? Then don't, until you checked the temporary directories. If your Aperture library went offline for some reason, Aperture may have written the images to the temporary caches.
    Check these system folders, if you find any iPhone images
    Quit Aperture.
    Open a Terminal window and enter the following two line:
    open $TMPDIR
    This will open a Finder window with cryptically named folders. Dive into them and look for Aperture's Media cache folder. Are there any image files in the folder "com.apple.Aperture"?
    Sometimes Aperture will write to that directory, if it cannot write to the Aperture library.
    Also check the following location:
    open /tmp
    Added: Is there something special about the photos? Are they HDR photos, or taken i burst mode?

  • Comment installer idvd sur un mac book pro retina ? Ou quel logiciel de gravage DVD vidéo ce mac ?

    Je possède un iMac et j'utilise énormément cette application iDVD qui reste encore un des meilleurs moyens pour offrir un film souvenir sur un support exploitable par la majorité des personnes.
    Son absence sur le mac book pro me laisse perplexe, surtout lorsqu'on y ajoute un lecteur superdrive, on pourrait s'attendre à ce qu'il appelle une mise à jour système pour l'installer.
    A moins que vous n'ayez une autre application à me conseiller.

    Google translation:
    I have an iMac and I use a lot the iDVD application is still one of the best ways to deliver a movie on a memory readable by most people.
    His absence on the mac book pro perplexing, especially when combined with a SuperDrive drive, one would expect it called system update to install.
    Unless you have another application to advise me.
    Apple stopped supporting iDVD over a year ago.  It is no longer included on any Macs regardless if it has a superdrive or not.
    If your iMac came with iDVD preinstalled you can use the disks that came with the iMac to do a custom install of iDVD and its themes on the MacBook Pro.  The disk will look like one of these:
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    Happy New Year

  • After changing my new mac book pro retina display new one have black lines and patches all over my screen

    i am regular user of apple products never face such kind of problem,my new macbook pro retina display first have white spot and lines on my display after claming they chnage my dispaly and its surprizing me when i saw new display it has all over black paches and lines i am really disappointed ,a product claim best display ever has such kind of problem ,i want soloution ,at least if they have problem they exchange me with regular display screen dont need retina,

    This really isn't something that we can help with. We're just other Mac users like yourself, only we don't live in Pakistan. (None of the experts who participate here live in Pakistan, to my knowledge.)
    This problem should be covered under warranty, but if there aren't any authorized Apple service providers in Pakistan, getting warranty service may not be easy. But I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to handle such a problem in Pakistan. You'll need to contact Apple. The number for Apple in Pakistan is listed here:

  • I need help please. I cannot get into my mac after I downloaded Lion.  i never used a PW before . can anyone help me please?

    Hi Folks. I cannot get into my Mac book air after downloading Lion. I do not and have never needed to use a pass word. what can I do to get back in ?

    Did you purchased the Full Perpetual License from Adobe for $149.00?, if so then what has happened is that you probably downloaded the Creative Cloud trial version which has now expired.
    The license key for the perpetual version will not be accepted to activate the CC version.
    Uninstall the existing Lightroom and then download the one available from the link below. The uninstall process will not affect your Catalog, Preferences or personal files but will just remove the application. Install the new download and you license key will be accepted.
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6
    If this is not the situation you face then provide some more details.

  • Problems using Tungsten E2 bluetooth connection with MacBook. Can anyone help me?

    Hello Matt
    Thank you for your reply.  I tried all that you suggested but nada! Nothing worked.
    So I brought the Sony Camcorder back to the store (as it was brand new a couple of days old) and exchanged it for a Canon Legria HF R206 HD.
    I can now easily upload the video and photos from this camcorder onto my MacBook and it all works fine that way.
    But my MAIN PROBLEM is that iMovie in my iPad2 can't read the content of the camcorder using iMovie?
    I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact that I'm using a different version of iMovie on the MacBook vs the iPad 2.  Everything works fine using version iMovie 09 ver. 8.0.5 (820) on the MacBook.
    I'm using iMovie version 122 ( 2010-2011) on the Ipad2.
    After going back to the store and dropping an extra 20 Euro as I was advised that this Camcorder does work well with all Apple products, I now find that it may be the version of iMovie that is preventing the upload to iPad2.
    Can you shed any of your wisdom on this for me please?
    Many thanks
    Aryelle
