Lenovo Wireless Device Settings Window is missing, G580 (20150) Windows 8.1

Since upgrading to 8.1 I have been unable to access the window to toggle wireless and bluetooth on and off.
I reinstalled LEM and the airplane function returned, but not the window.
Wireless works after I removed the Microsoft driver. I don't have a bluetooth device to test that function.
I just tried to install the 8.1 64 bit Bradcom Bluetooth driver and it would not install.
Bluetooth isn't listed in Device Manager.
I just found this information, but the link to the older version doesn't work.
I may just by an Intel Network 7260.HMWG.R

Hi guys,
I see that Shiv_K is helping you out on this
In addition. 
Try to refresh the Hardware and Power.
    Remove AC and Battery
          Hold the Power Button down for at least 15 sec. Then Reconnect Everything back
Turn on the Systen and Right away start hitting F2 to load the BIOS Utility
          Inside BIOS hit F9 then Enter for Yes to load defaults
          Hit F10 to Save and Exit then Enter for YES.
now open
    Control Panel / Programs, and uninstall Lenovo Energy Management and restart the system
Then install these
Lenovo Energy Management
Intel Wifi Driver
 Press Fn+F5 and see if you will be provided with this window showing the bluetooth.

I have the same problem. G580, model 20150. I clean installed W 8.1, deactivating UEFI, but the Bluetooth device isn't discovered. I installed the appropriate driver, but the issue remains. I believe it's a driver issue. How can we contact Lenovo to tell our problem? They don't provide an e-mail adress, unfortunately... I'm wondering why?
EDIT: by reading the post #3 on this thread, by Solid_Cruver, I uninstalled Lenovo Energy Management for W8.1 x64 and installed older version as suggested. Then pressed Fn+F5 as I used to do in Win 7, activated BT, reinstalled appropriate driver and... Voila!, I have functional BT! Yupi!!!
Thank you very much, Solid_Cruver! Good solution!

    After I reset my Ipod (deleted all data and settings) windows 7 doesn't recognize by ipod touch, and it doesn't appear in the itunes library or in the device menu, but it does charge. How can I get my computer to recognize it again?

  • Itunes and wireless devices no longer show up in upper right corner of itunes window

    Help! My Internet service was interupted last week and when it returned my iTunes and wireless devices no longer show up in upper right corner of the iTunes window.  I finally figured out how to get both of my wireless devices to show up on the left hand column under devices, but nothing else shows up now in the upper right corner!  I cannot for the life of me figure this one out and the tech manual is not helping at all.  Help!

    If you have the left-hand sidebar showing then that is where the store and your devices will show can be selected - if you press option-command-S if you are using a Mac, control-S on a PC, then the sidebar should be hidden and the store and device should go back to the top right. Is that what you mean ?

  • After a Windows 8.1 automatic update yesterday my other wireless devices like smart phones, tablets, etc can't use my routers wireless signal unless my laptop is turned on

    Hi guys, please help, I'm desperate.
    After an automatic update to my windows 8.1 yesterday none of my other other wireless devices like smart phones, tablets, etc. can join my wireless network unless my laptop is turned on.  If I turn my laptop off, after a couple of minutes my iphone,
    my wife's iphone  and my Galaxy Tab lose connection and are unable to join my router's network. When I turn my laptop back on, all the other devices are able to use my router's wireless internet without any problems.  How can I fix this???
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    First, I suggest to reset the router, meanwhile disable the network card and enable it again, because it is obviously network issue.
    Then, as you post this happened after windows update, try to find the update that was already installed on your computer
    Restore your computer by following the way listed below:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
    Hide the  update if it is not an important one and related to wireless internet according to this article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff382716.aspx
    I hope it works for you .

  • HT1695 i bought a used ipod touch and reset it to the factory settings via itunes and now i'm trying to set it up like new and it won't let me sign in with an apple id it says it can't connect to the server.  Other wireless devices are working HELP?!

    I am trying to set up  my daughters ipod touch after resetting it to factory settings.  So I am trying to sign in using an apple id.  It says won't connect to the servier, but I have other wireless devices connected, so I know my wi fi is working. What now? Thanks

    Return it and get a refund. Without the prior owner's Apple ID and password that device is useless. Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. You were screwed by the ignorance of the pawn shop owner.

  • My Windows Vista Computer is unable to find any AirPort wireless devices

    My Windows Vista computer is unable to find any AirPort wireless devices.   I just set this up using another (different) computer and it works fine on that one...

    Per chance was the other computer that was able to "find" the AirPort base station another Win Vista device or another using another OS?

  • New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,etc

    New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,switch channel from auto to maybe 6,channel width to 20mhz? Already changed security settings to WPA2.  Currently router is running in mixed b and g mode.

    If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.
    It can get confusing but really it is simple. The newest is 802.11 AC and ic used with the newest Mac Computers made available in November 2013. So if you have the newest Airport Extreme that is 802.11ac and the newest computers that are AC compliant your speed will be 5 times faster than anything on the market right now.

  • My Windows XP AirPort util and Bonjour can't find any wireless device

    I have both macbook and a PC laptop.
    I just started using my TimeCapsula and all features (Internet gateway, access to the USB printer and the external harddisk) are visible and working fine when using my macbook.
    My PC wireless card seems to be working fine too and I can access the Internet using the Airport gateway.
    My problem is that Airport Util and Bonjour on my PC "can't find any wireless devices" (even though It is clearly working fine) and therefore don't detect/mount the external drive or the Printer.
    Thanks!

    How do your Extreme and Express connect to one another? Wired Ethernet between the two, or wirelessly?
    Try unplugging the Express. Does that change anything?
    Wireless interference could cause the symptoms you're describing. Even though you did nothing to your wireless network, the presence of other wireless networks or introduction of nearby devices will bring interference where there was none before.
    AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of interference for wireless devices and networks
    Try changing wireless channels; use "automatic" unless you have reason to use a specified channel. Try checking "interference robustness". Altering these settings may help, but they could make things worse.
    If you are unable to configure a device over Airport, or changing a setting leaves you unable to configure it wirelessly, connect its Ethernet port to your computer's Ethernet port and Airport Utility should find it.
    As a last resort, try a "hard reset" followed by re-configuring the Extreme, Express, or both. Start by removing your Express from the network. Re-configure the Extreme and see if that fixes things. If it does, add the Express to your network and re-configure it as well.
    AirPort troubleshooting guide
    I open airport utility ... can not locate any of my wireless devises, airport extreme base,, airport express, apple tv, wifi printer.
    AirPort Utility will only detect Apple AirPort base stations (Extreme, Express, Time Capsule) for purposes of configuring them. It is not designed to detect or configure other wireless devices like your printer.

  • Missing Wireless Devices On DHCP Client Table

    I’ll always have three wired devices connected on my router at all times and other wireless devices but I disconnect them when I'm done using them. I’ve recently left two wireless devices connect all the time but what seems after a week or so all my wireless devices stop showing up on my DHCP Client Table. Even though they stop showing up on the DHCP Client Table they still work fine and are still connected to the internet. I already tried rebooting my router and that seems to fix it. I have an E2000 Router with the latest Firmware: 1.0.04 I haven’t had any problems with disconnects or anything. My question is why is this happening and how do I fix it or does the router not support devices been connected for days? Thanks in advance.

    There is no fix for this problem as it's not a problem. Maybe your wireless devices don't renew the lease at some point but just keep using the current IP address. Maybe it's a bug in firmware. But as you have noticed it does not cause connection problems. I think very often there are glitches in the DHCP table of various routers.

  • Nokia N86, missing option in Device Settings for N...

    Ref: http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/nokia-multimedia-transfer/how-to/...
    According to this source, devices with an internal mass memory (like the N86 8GB flash memory) and an installed memory card should have a selection in the device settings (General tab) in Nokia Multimedia Transfer for the selection of memory target to fill up first.
    For me there is no such selection for my N86 device. Anyone else experienced the same problem??
    Very annoying, I want it to sync towards the 16GB MicroSD card primarily. 
    Best Regards,

    P.S. Cross-posted in Music, and in PC&Mac Software 

    me too.  can't see the option under general prefs.  I want to set it to zero so I can't accidentally fill it up.  Been a year since you asked - nobody at nokia seems to care ??
