Installed 10.4.7, Bluetooth icon moved?

Hello, sorry my poor english.
I've installed Mac OS X 10.4.7 update and everything seems to be working fine.
However I've noticed one strange thing, on the Apple bar at the top of the screen, if I look at the icons on the left of the bar, the Bluetooth icon has moved from left-side of the volume icon to the left-side of the spotlight icon.
Why is that? Did it happen to everyone or just me? How can I move it back to were it was?
I've already run Disk Utility and fixed permissions but nothing changed.
Thanks.

Hi,
I've found that I can move the top menu bar icons by holding down the Command/Apple key and click-dragging the icons to wherever I like.
BTW, your English is just fine...
Hope that helps,

Bluetooth icon thingy has moved in between clock and spotlight?

Yeah, i have no idea what category the "problem" (more cosmetic than function-related) belongs... I have somehow managed to move my bluetooth icon from the left side of the time to the right side of the time (between spotlight and clock)...

I've talked to a rather experienced mac using friend of mine, and he has no clue of how this could have happened... According to him, it should be impossible - but I've done it anyway...
Anyone know how to move the icon back on the left side of the clock?
Edit:
What is that row of icons called, anyways? Process Bar, like in windows?

Have you tried going into the Bluetooth Preference Pane and switiching it off and back on? Failing that, trashing the com.apple.sysmtemUIserver.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder will reset all the options up there to default.
Menu Items seems like a reasonable name?

Mac osx 10.4.11 removes bluetooth icon

I just installed 10.4.11 and i now have no bluetooth icon on my menu bar?? What happened to it?

I have no idea what happened to it, but you can easily get it back by going to >System Preferences...>Bluetooth>Settings>Show Bluetooth Status in menu bar.
Good luck!

How to get and install the new MSI Bluetooth Software Package 1.4.3.3.

How to get and install the new MSI Bluetooth Software Package 1.4.3.3.
This little FAQ will only cover the new version of MSI Bluetooth Software Package.
First thing too do is unistall any older version of the MSI Bluetooth Software.
Do this through the Add/Remove program applet in your control panel.
There seams too be only through Live update you could get the new version of MSI Bluetooth Software Package.
If you can't see any enter for MSI Bluetooth Software in the Live driver section of Live update then you have too enter the following too your registry.
Create following code in Notepad and save it as MSILD.reg, then run the file.
;-->Code start
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MSI\Drivers\MSI Bluetooth Software]
"DrvSetup"="1"
"Version"="1.4.2.10"
;-->Code end
Rerun the Live update and hopefully you will now see a entry for MSI Bluetooth Software in Live driver section.
Install the new version of MSI Bluetooth Software and reboot your computer. Even if the setup program doesnt told you too doit.
After rebooting the computer you will see the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar. If it's Red then try too start the Bluetooth services by right click on the try icon and the only alternetiv there is.
If the Bluetooth services is asking for a valid licens.dat then you should do the following.
Surf to Jon's Bluetooth guide http://www.jonsguides.com./bluetooth/prepare.html and download the patcher from the link there.
Unzip the the patcher and then run the BTWPatcher.exe program.
Now the Bluetooth services will start and you will bee able too configure your own settings for the Bluetooth services.
If nothing of this work you could try the complete Bluetooth solution at Jon's gudie and install the IBM version of the same program. I havent test this solution and will not do soo.

I have the MS-6968 device and i want to use driver 1.4.x or 3.0.x. I found the driver 1.4.2.10 but i cannot find any WIDCOMMSecurity code.
So, can anyone give me a link for BTWPatcher.exe???
It cannot be found here (Jon's Bluetooth ) anymore.
Thanks

Greetings: I have just acquired an older mini mac (2006 1.66 ghz core 2 duo) Anyway, it had Tiger 10.4 on it and the Bluetooth worked. I upgraded to Snow Leopard and everything works fine - except Bluetooth. The Bluetooth icon isn't there. Any ideas?

I have just acquired an older mini mac (2006 1.66 ghz core 2 duo) Anyway, it had Tiger 10.4 on it and the Bluetooth worked for the wireless Apple keyboard and mouse. I upgraded to Snow Leopard and everything works fine - everything except Bluetooth.
The Bluetooth icon does not exist in the System Preferenc screen.
I tried to download Bluetooth from Apple site but the message I got told me that I didn't need it.
Under Finder, Utilities, I found Bluetooth File Exchange but the message I got was that I had to connect a Bluetooth device to my computer.
I have to admit that I have no idea what's going on here. I am hoping to avert the need to try another complete re-install of Snow Leopard.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Puzzled is a polite word for it.
Thanks Barry - I found the file and trie to send it to trash. The response: (This item cannot be trashed as it it owned by the system).
After dancing around with PRAM and SMC and turning on while holding the power-cntrl-option-shift and heavens knows what else, I now have the Bluetooth symbol on the top of the menu bar but it is ghoseted and has a squiggly line through it. This, I didn't have before so I read this as some progress. It notes that "Bluetooth is not available">
However, the Bluetooth icon is still missing from the System Preferences window - you know, between "network" and "sharing".
You note that you reckon the issue is not software based and you may be correct. The reason that I wonder about that though, is that before I installed Snow Leopard, the keyboard and mouse both paired with the box under the Tiger 10.4. That leads me to conclude that hardware is functional and that there is some screwy little bit of software that is not cooperating.
If I could delete Bluetooth from the system and re-install a fresh version, that might help. Or, is there a way I can use the Snow Leopard install disc and only load in Bluetooth?
I'm stumped.
Thanks for your time

Bluetooth is neither detected nor working. In the system preferences under BLUETOOTH header it says "No information found". Bluetooth icon is not appearing on desktop either. Please help.

Yes....It happens all the time. I also erased my HD and installed Snow Leopard but with no success. Tried lots of REBOOTING but nothing worked for me.As I have already installed the new OSX I think there is no need to go through the below procedure. What do you suggest?
Before you go through the ritual of reinstalling the entire system just try to do a "factory reset" of your bluetooth environment. To do this you need to run the Bluetooth Explorer which is a utility installed as part of XCode.
1. Launch Bluetooth Explorer.
2. Select the "Modify Software & Device Configuration" from the Utilities menu.
3. Keep the first 4 checkboxes checked (one will say "Full factory reset").
4. Click "Perform actions" button (lower right of window).
5. Reboot (possibly the Reboot NOW button will work, if not just do a normal reboot).
Hopefully that will clear your problem(s) so you can re-pair your bluetooth devices.
Good luck.

Get rid of the Bluetooth icon

I migrated my account from my powerbook to mini, trouble is i don't have bluetooth installed on my mini and the bluetooth icon on the top right corner is also 'migrated'. so the icon would show as grey and read 'not available'. if i try to open bluetooth to disable the icon, it would say 'no device detected' and then automatically shut off.
is there anyway to get rid of that icon at all? thanks!

Command-Click Icon-Drag-Poof! is the real easiest.
Hold Cmd key. Click and hold on the menubar item you wish to remove. Drag away from the menu bar. Watch the poof.

Bluetooth Icon in the Menubar gone

Hi,
sometimes when the computer stars, the Bluetooth Icon in the Menubar doesn't appear. If I go to the bluetooth preferences panel it says it's on and the show menubar icon is checked. I've got to recheck it to see the icon again in the menubar.The icon shows up until maybe weeks later when it doesn't and I don't know why.
How can the icon show up always????

Hmmm, sometimes!?
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
We have more if that doesn't work.

How to enable bluetooth icon in task bar in rmbp with windows 8

The bluetooth icon dose not be showed in task bar in rmbp with windows 8.
The device of bluetooth dose not work correctly in device manager of windows 8 with the yellow exclamation mark.
The windows system event log shows BTHUSB alerts and error with code of 3 and 17. The driver is unloaded.
Some apple magic mouse's functions can work, without sliding to navigate.
The current OS is in bios enumeration mode with MBR and The logged user is in the normal account and the bootcamp is newest.
I have remembered that the bluetooth was good without above problems when the windows 8 was installed firstly and the bootcamp can not work in administrator account. After being restored NVRAM with option+command+p+r and reinstalled windows 8 enterprise 64 completely again, it shows these problems when the bootcamp works well.
Except the first windows installation, the second time is selecting EFI boot and the last time is in normal mode, which has no difference in the bluetooth problem. In a normal or administrator account, the same problems appear.

The bluetooth drive problems have disappeared after the following steps:
reset intel SMC
remove the bluetooth device with yellow mark.
scan system device changes. find 3 devices without any yellow mark: (a) Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth, (b) Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator, (c) Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator.
find magic mouse and it works well with all functions. and the icon appears in the taskbar.
no BTHUSB error is in system log.
I don't know the right reasons. Maybe the efi windows installation has changed rmbp efi settings.

Gray Bluetooth Icon with 3 dots

In the Menu I have a Gray(grey) Bluetooth Icon with 3 black dots over the top. Bluetooth is working but it takes 20 attempts to get it to pair with my Apple Keyboard and Microsoft BT mouse.
I assume this Gray(grey) Icon is an indicator but it's impossible to find what it means.
The MacBook Pro is 2 days old.
I firmly believe that the set up assistant when transferred settings and applications from my MacPro via firewire was a big mistake. My Airport settings are all screwy too.
Any ideas and feedback are appreciated. Thanks!

Hello V:
The icon you mention indicates that Bluetooth is installed and active. If you click on it, you will see a drop down menu.
I would take the two day old MacBook to an Apple store (if they are near you) or call Applecare and indicate you have a warranty problem.

Bluetooth icon disappeared from menu bar

Hi. For a while, my Bluetooth icon was moving around the menu bar and now it has disappeared. I have Bluetooth enabled, but the icon is missing. How do I get it back? Is there a way to customize the menu bar?
Thanks

Same experience here. For a while, my Bluetooth menu icon has been shifting around and now it has totally disappeared. Going to System preferences to click the bluetooth menu icon on and off doesn't help. I wonder which preference file we can delete to reset the menu icon positions and visibility.

I have no bluetooth icon anymore

This is a replacement Imac with exact same problem, i turned on my computer and I have no bluetooth icon or software on my computer. i type in bluetooth and nothing shows up.I cant connect my kepyboard, mouse , etc. And apple have already given me a new computer with now exact same problem. So if anyone can tell me how to install a blue tooth software I would be greatful. i have done an SMC start but to no avail.
thank you

It seems that your computer has got its Bluetooth card damaged. However, if you can, I recommend you to reinstall OS X, holding Command and R keys while your computer is starting.
If you can't connect the keyboard during the startup, return the iMac and receive another computer until you receive one with the Bluetooth chip working

System Preferences crashes when I click the Bluetooth icon

I tried pairing my MacBook Pro with a Juno Trimble GPS receiver. It seemed to pair but wouldn't transfer a file from the GPS to the laptop. Now, when I click on the Bluetooth icon in System Preferences, it suddenly quits. I tried restarting the MacBook but that didn't help the issue.

I had a similar issue this morning and ended up having to go in to the Apple Store to get it fixed. It was a software issue and I needed to re-install the OS.
I have a wireless keyboard and mouse and neither would connect with the computer. Anytime I tried to do anything in the Bluetooth System Preferences, it stopped responding and I had to Force Quit.
The solution was to turn off the computer and hold down the "Option" key as I turned it back on. Hold the key down until a screen pops up with your hard drive button and a Recovery button. Click (or arrow over if you have a wireless mouse too) the Recovery button. It will take a second, but eventually your wireless mouse will connect with the computer in this mode. Select ReInstall OSX and follow the instructions. It takes about 2 hours, but Bluetooth and all your wireless devices should be working again.

U310 Energy Management Bluetooth Icon

I recently installed the Lenovo Energy Management program on my U310 to take better care of my battery. Since doing this, I now have this annoying Bluetooth icon with an "X" through it that pops up about twice a minute. This is very distracting and seems unnecessary. If anyone knows how to fix this or turn this off, that would be much appreciated.
Note: I originally had Windows 8 on this system, now I have Windows 7 Professional. I'm not even sure if this system had Bluetooth to begin with, but there is clearly one device my computer has not been able to identify and I wonder if the Bluetooth driver got lost while switching from Windows 8 to Windows 7? Any help is appreciated!

hi Chellelin 92,
Thanks for using Lenovo Community Forums!
Uninstall the Lenovo Energy Management again from Control Panel / Programs
Then reinstall it from here
Lenovo Energy Management Driver
And Can you check the hardware ID of that unknown device You have under device manager and post it back here.
Regards
