Imac lost usb and bluetooth

Last night I accepted a OSX update on my iMac. When it restarted, it no longer had any Bluetooth capability (line through the icon) AND it would not recognize any of my USB devices connected. (Seems like there's no power going to the USB ports.) So I lost both wireless AND wired keyboards and mice, meaning I have no way to even troubleshoot. What can

If you upgraded to Yosemite then:
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How to print directly to printer using USB and Bluetooth from Java (J2ME) app.

    I write mobile phone apps in Java (J2ME). I want to print directly to a printer via USB and via Bluetooth. I cannot use a print job with the Java available to me. Once upon a time you could just send text and print control characters to a printer. I would like to be able to do that again. Alternatively could you provide a 'skeleton' data stream into which I could insert my code to produce what is sent to the printer when a print job is used with Java on a laptop or PC. I just want to sent simple text with a little formatting. 

    Hi,
    As far as printing to devices not all devices support Bluetooth. Many devices support Bonjour protocal, IPP. The main print port is 9100. Additionally you can see what IO protocols are supported on a product by looking at the EWS (Embedded WebServer) there should be a networking page with that information.  Port 9100 is your basic print port and different devices will support different formats (PDF, JPEG, PCL5, PCL6). If there is an API you can find (i am not familiar with J2ME availible calls, then you can use those and send the data to port 9100. Again that is the basic path most printers will accept. not all devices support bonjour not all device support bluetooth etc... Hope that helps and good luck.

  • T43 lost USB and freezes

    Hi there,
    My T43 2668-46U running XP SP3 all of the sudden lost USB's and starts freezing.
    For some reason after no problem of 4 years working period a week ago I lost power in all two USB.
    Dafter a few days the system after working for around 15 minutes freezes.
    I found strange that when I push down a little a touched area it start running but after a few seconds stop again.
    I did all (software tool) checks available from Lenovo and results do not show any problems.
    Everything is fine in Device Manager - no problems with USB shown.
    No more clue what to do.
    Any help and suggestion welcome.

    The SouthBridge chip is connected to the rest of the board by hundreds of tiny solder balls. As a result of a number of heating/cooling cycles, the connection breaks. Re-balling is done by removing the chip, replacing the balls and exposing them to a proper attachment process. This is not a DIY procedure.
    Any T43/p board will work in any T43/p shell. There is one limitation: machines with Intel graphics (model numbers starting in 187x) can't drive a 14" SXGA+ LCD so you'd need a board with ATi X300 graphics chip. Everything else is plug and play.
    Good luck.

  • Not working USB and Bluetooth GPRS connection with LG KS360 Tribe

    Hello, I just bought an LG KS360 Tribe and I can't use it to connect to the Internet. I also successfully use a Nokia phone with USB connection.
    With the LG phone, when I click on "Connect", it tries to connect to the Internet for a few seconds, then the connection drops. on the phone I can see that 0KB of data have been transfered.
    Bluetooth connection is the same. I use the Generic GPRS/3G driver.
    Please help me with this one...
    Thanks

    Resolved! I've searched for similar problems with generic LG phones. This is what I found: http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
    I've download the zip file http://www.taniwha.org.uk/files/Generic3G2007-02.zip
    (just search for "Generic 3G Scripts" inside the page).
    Then:
    0. Unpack the zip
    1. Copy the "Generic 3G *" scripts in "/Library/Modem Scripts"
    2. Start the Network Manager
    3. Connect the LG KS360 phone using the USB connector
    4. Install the new device
    5. Where you should put the phone number, write the APN address
    6. In user I've inserted "none". Same thing in the password field.
    7. Click on Advanced and select the driver "Other" and "Generic 3G CID1".
    8. Click "OK", "Apply" and "Connect".
    All works for me.

  • T43 - Lost USB and wireless after full system restore

    Hi,
    I've been struggling to get my work system back online for two days now.  It's a T43 which had become unbearably slow so after 3 years I decided to blow it away and use the system restore to set it back to factory.  However as seems to be the case all around, factory in this case means...nothing works and you have to manually install all of the drivers.
    I upgraded my bios to 1.29 and embedded controller to 1.06
    I installed drivers for every device and after a full day of futzing finally rid my device manager of unknown devices (mostly)  Here is a shot of it...
    Device Manager
    However the most troublesome things have been wireless and USB.  Given that I had no idea which wireless device was in my system I tried updating the driver through device manager and pointed it at each of the three available wireless adapters on the Lenovo T43 drivers page.  The first two I tried were rejected, but the third one took and the device finally started.  However, when I point it at my wireless network it just keeps switching back and forth between "Not Connected" state and "Aquiring address state".  I finally disabled it.  This device worked fine as did my wireless hub prior to the system restore.
    Worst of all however is my USB.  After first doing the restore, all of the USB host controllers were unknown.  I could find no specific driver for them on the Lenovo site so I just right clicked on each of them and selected "update driver" and let it find whatever it could for them.  Low and behold they all popped right up one at a time and were identified along with the root hub.  At that point two new unidentified "other devices" were enumerated, one being my printer and the other my USB Western Dig backup drive.  The hard drive's power turned on indicating a signal from USB, however it never popped into the list of available drives in My Computer.   I was able to install the Samsung printer drivers from CD which took the printer out of the list of  "other devices", installed USB printing support, and set up the printer in the "my printers" directory.  However I can't print to it.  Print jobs just sit in the queue and the printer acts like nothing is happening.
    It's terribly frustrating because all of my backed up work and environment settings is stored on my USB drive.  If I can't get USB working again, I'm in serious trouble.  Thus far, I've tried disconnecting the devices and reconnecting (it makes a system ding but nothing else happens).  I've tried uninstalling all USB devices from the manager and then doing a scan to reinstall them again.  Both times I've tried this, the devices once again come up as "other devices" and I have to repeat the earlier steps to get them property identified.
    I can't find any excuse at this point these devices not to be working.  Can anyone please offer any further suggestions?  If I was unclear about anything I'll be happy to clarify the problem.  I'm despertate to get this thing working again fast.
    Thank You !!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK, let's try the older one:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-62875
    You may want to delete the entire Win subfolder before installing it, though.
    Now, honestly, I don't quite understand why recovery disks would skip this driver. I've restored hundreds of T43/p machines and have never encountered such an issue.
    Good luck.

  • HT201257 How can I run the hardware test when my USB ports and bluetooth doesn't work?

    The USB ports and the Bluetooth suddenly will not work on my Mac Mini (2008). There is very little I can do except using Remote Desktop. To run the Hardware Test, the D key has to be pressed during startup. I got no key to press. Is there any other way to do this?

    Sorry, focused on bluetooth issue. If USB and bluetooth are knackered, try an SMC reset:
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • Why did my max loose wifi and bluetooth?

    Not sure if it was after last update or when.  But my phone lost wifi and bluetooth.  I didnt even realize until I got a data alert. I have tried a full reset witch made me very unhappy due to the apps I lost.

    Usually if you just turn the device on and off may have fixed your issues.
    A hard reset in my opinion is not necessary. If phone makers send out junk updates that actually make the devices work worse, they never should release these junk updates.
    Is your WiFi and Bluetooth functioning now? Your apps are not lost since in Google play store select MY APPS then from the list simply reload them back on the device. Both free and paid ones.
    Good Luck

  • IMac late 2013 lost usb connection after efi smc update

    Hi
    Lately i purchased a late 2013 iMac with i7 and fusion drive.
    After i update to Mavericks and patched new efi and smc update,my mac start to lost usb connectiong when using, from keyboard mouse to my usb sound card, System is not freezing just the usb deviecs. have to press the power button to restart
    already tried reset NVRAM and PRAM but doesnt work.

    Exactely the Same issue with my iMac 27-fusionDrive3T late 2013, having USB HDs for time machine and data. I contacted the Apple support who propose first level  of support: resets SMC, hard reset and so one without success . I did several trials removing hubs, using different USB (3.0,2.0 and 1.0) and changing devices connections(direct to iMac or through USB hub). I succeeded to find a stable configuration puting audio USB speaker  directly connected to IMac. When I put this USB speaker through USB huband  launch itune music after a certain time all USB chain freeze, and by consequence no more possibility to control the iMac with keyboard, trackpad .... IMac is still working,!  The only possibility is to reboot the machine with tne reset button. Hope also this will fixe in the future OSX release!
