Iconia W700: Bluetooth keyboard not detected in Windows 10 x64

I am in the process of updating all the computers in my house to Windows 10 and it has been fairly painless so far for most of the devices. However, I cannot get my Iconia W700 tablet to recognize the Bluetooth keyboard. It is the keyboard with integrated cover, and I've followed the procedure, as stated on Acer's website, of holding the power button on the keyboard for 5 seconds to put it into discovery mode, and then adding a device from the Bluetooth device menu. Obviously the menus have new locations, but are not hard to find. I updated the Bluetooth driver on the tablet but that did not remedy the issue. I looked around and couldn't find any mention of this problem here or elsewhere, probably since Windows 10 just launched a few days ago.

Ok, so I'm not sure if the driver was actually the issue, but the Acer documentation on putting the Bluetooth keyboard into pairing mode requires you to press and hold the power button until the two LEDs on the keyboard start to alternate like on a police car. If someone is reading this and this still doesn't allow you to pair the keyboard, then here are the steps to get the proper Bluetooth driver: Open the Device Manager (right-click windows icon in bottom left)Expand the "Bluetooth" category in the Device ManagerRight click the Bluetooth driver (should be the first in the list if there are multiple devices listed)Click UninstallRestart the tablet. The Bluetooth driver will be reinstalled on reboot.Open the Device Manager again after you log inRight click the Bluetooth driver and click "Update Driver Software..."Select the option for Windows to search for the driver software.An update should be downloaded and installed.Now repeat the pairing steps detailed above, and you should see an option to pair the keyboard appear in your Bluetooth settings.I've subscribed to this thread so if anyone has a problem, just reply and I will try to help you sort it out.

  • Dell Bluetooth 365 not detected in Windows 10 Technical Preview (Builds 10041 and 10049)

    When I installed Windows 10 build 10041 on my 2009 Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop my Bluetooth 365 stopped working.  On investigation I saw that Bluetooth had disappeared from Device Manager completely, but no yellow '!' was apparent anywhere.   When I checked the BIOS the Bluetooth card was present.  I researched the issue for a couple of hours and realised that Dell did not have a Bluetooth 365 driver for anything later than Windows 7. (That Windows 7 driver had worked in Win 8/Win 8.1).  I discovered that the card is made by  Broadcomm and is also used by Lenovo in some of its laptops.  I downloaded the following driver from Lenovo's support site and installed it.  When prompted, click the 'update software' button, and a further installation will run.  If you wish, have Device Manager open and you will see the drivers and devices install.
    support.lenovo.com/.../ds031759
    It worked perfectly and my Bluetooth card was detected and configured and now all my Bluetooth devices work with Windows 10.
    The Dell 1545 with Bluetooth is a great workhorse PC and it would have been a shame if it could not have been used with Windows 10.  I hope it is not a sign of forced obsolescence by Dell, and that they will release Win 10 drivers for this venerable old laptop. It is a shame to have to go to a competitor for a driver. Judging by my web research there are many of this model still in everyday use.  I trust this will be of use to other users.

    There is a universal Broadcom Bluetooth Update which would cover this also:

  • IMac Bluetooth Keyboard Not Working On Windows 8 :/

    Well I've had an iMac for about 2 years already and my keyboard and mouse have been working flawlessly! Oh and I only use Windows 7 on Boot Camp and I've had no problems what so ever UNTIL I upgraded to Windows 8 about a week ago and that's when the problem starts. When I play games on Steam my keys on my keyboard work flawlessly like always but when it comes to typing words say like in the Internet or ANYTHING other then my games it DOESN'T WORK! Please if you have the same problem or know how to fix it please tell me. Thanks in advance! :)

    if your signature say win8 does that imply that you used to run win8 and it worked there but not with win8.1
    if so then you may have to wait for apple to release official support for win8.1 in terms of new drivers you can likely download from their site as a zip
    at least thats what I hope will solve my huge page pool fatal bluescreen crashes in win8.1
    which I also suffered from in win8 before the official amd drivers was released

  • Bluetooth did not detect any Bluetooth device even iPhone  please help me

    I have iPhone 4 my Bluetooth did not detect any Bluetooth
    Device even iPhone so I can not transfer any data to other iPhone
    Please help me

    That is correct.
    This has  never been a feature of iphone.
    Sorry.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, telephone headsets/handsfree devices, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the apps store, tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than these, it will not connect to another phone/device/computer/etc.

  • IPod Touch, not detected in Windows or iTunes...

    First of all, hello to everyone...
    i want to say that i read a lot EVERYWHERE about my issue and still i couldnt find a solution...
    the problem is easy, i have a 3rd gen ipod touch, OS 4.2.1 now fully working... but, it's not detected in windows or itunes, as simple as that, and as u all have read in lots of other posts...
    my ipod is now working because i took it to an apple store and they charged it in a MAC and they had no problem at all. the MAC detected the ipod, with all its content and my ipod's name...
    but when i took it home -this has been hapenning since maybe... 5 MONTHS!-, i plug it in my PC and nothing happens...
    ok, first of all, my spec... win vista home premium 64 bits, last version of itunes...
    i tried ALL the solutions provided in APPLE official support page, and nothing happens... that means:
    1- completely uninstall itunes and then reinstalling it... i ALSO FORMATED my entire hard drive twice!!!!
    2- tried all USB ports and even an entirely different PC and nothing happened
    3- bought 3 different IPOD to USB cables and nothing happened
    4- tried setting ipod to restore, that way itunes SOMETIMES detected the ipod but i coulnt restore because of different error codes, so i had to take it several times to apple store to "unblock" it...
    the only way it works -detection and charge- is with MAC computers or dock systems such as an iHome my gf has thats the way im charging it now, but otherwise it wont work...
    i would really appreciate any help, since idont know what else to do!!
    thx in advance!!

    HI I was having some other problems getting my itouch to restore because it was not being recognized in itunes and kept erroring out. Now it has finally restored after I updated all kinds of drivers and removed and reinstalled itunes and apple software a million times,(yes this is all after installing itunes 8.1 and paying for an itouch upgrade as well) Now itunes says it cannot do anything with the ipod because it is getting an invalid response from the device. So it won't put anything back on my itouch or even show that I have plugged it in. I emailed tech support, If I find anything out I'll let you know, will you do the same for me?

  • Airplay not detected in windows 7 itunes.

    Airplay not detected on windows itunes even after windows update. Security & windows firewall not an issue. Please assist in re-installing the airplay option in my windows 7 itunes.

    I, too, have the same problem. I have read multiple posts, but nothing works. It all began with an iTunes update. Airplay, my ATV, home sharing, and Apple Remote all worked. Now, everything that is dependent on iTunes does not work.
    They are all on the same network.  I have checked it and changed it multiple times. My ATV retrieves photos from my Win 7 HP computer fine, but iTunes might as well not exist. The ATV won't see iTunes through home sharing. None of my AirPlay devices are recognized by iTunes. There isn't even the icon. Remote doesn't recognize the iTunes library either.
    I have reinstalled iTunes several times. Shut down and restarted everything several times. On two occasions, it all worked for a short time, so I know it can work. But I can't replicate that, no matter what I do.
    I have disabled Norton security (and updated it). No difference. I shouldn't have to remove it since it all worked before the iTunes update. That's why I believe it is an iTunes issue. It once worked. Everything else works.

  • Ultra 60 keyboard not detected

    Hello, I have an Ultra 60, 2X450MHz, 2GB RAM, 2X 50GB HDD, Creator 3D. I recently used the Solaris 10 CD-ROM to format>analyze>purge the hard disks, which went without errors. Now I connect a Sun Type 5c KB/Type 5 mouse, and one of the following occurs at boot seemingly at random:
    1. OBP message above banner "cannot detect keyboard layout fe (or c2 or co" and "using USA keyboard layout" followed by banner with "Keyboard present" therein; however when keys are pressed, only repeating 3's or "Keyboard error" appears after OK prompt. Or...
    2. No message above banner, but banner displays no keyboard present; same 3's repeating or error upon keypresses. Or...
    3. No banner at all, but message "keyboard not detected, sending input/output to ttya".
    I am using this keyboard right now on an Ultra 5. I have tried another Type 5c and a Type 6 on the Ultra 60 with the same results. My questions:
    1. Is this an OBP fault? How to serial console to this machine without it having a hostname in order to update the PROM?
    2. Is this a mainboard fault, like in the keyboard jack or something? Do I need a new mainboard?
    This happened overnight. The only thing I can think of that I did was that I used a Belkin adapter (with PS/2 ports and VGA port) to purge the hard disks, then plugged in a Sun KB/mouse along with a display adapter as soon as I acquired them. I am lost! Any thoughts or solutions would be appreciated. Thanks!

    See my thread here
    PS2 keyboard/mouse causes random shutdowns or doesnt work
    In short there is no known solution, it is an manufacturing fault, usually swapping to USB and enabling USB keyboard and mouse in the BIOS will help.

    iTunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64.
    Getting the following error message:
    Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
    This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.

    I am using Windows 7 x64.
    I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
    I am running Mcafee.
    I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
    YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
    I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
    I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
    P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.

    iCloud Control Panel 2.1 will not install on Windows 7 x64. If I try the to run the install from the Apple Software Updater it the iCloud 2.1 crashes and I get a message that suggests I do a download only  and they run it locally. I do that and the install i.e. the exe file just seems to never start even if I try to "Run as Admin"
    I go int o task manager and there is no instance of the install running.
    What is the issue/work around to this?
    Thx to all for help.

    I didn't try creating a new user profile. Not sure I completely understand what you're suggesting. I dont't want a new/different profile. I just want to be able to install the update.
