Mac bluetooth now not installed but was previously, brand new???

Hello,
I would love some help. My brand new iMac (27-inch Mid 2011) serial number C0********HJQ that I purchased this month is having severe bluetooth issues. Up until today the bluetooth was working without any troubles, but after it went into sleep mode my magic mouse and wireless keyboard did not respond. I changed the batteries and they lit up but were not recognised by the machine. The bluetooth icon is no longer visible anywhere in my computer and under the system report>hardware>bluetooth there is no data for the bluetooth. How do i fix this?
note- cannot use keyboard in this process as i only own a usb mouse
Regards,
Monique Rennie

Open System Preferences > Bluetooth
Make sure the On and Discoverable boxes are selected.
If it says:  No Devices  then click Set Up New Device then follow the instructions.
And tick the box next to:   Show Bluetooth in menu bar

  • How long does it take to install ios 7 on an iphone 4s? Note that it was previously on an old ios4 hardware. Many thanks!

    how long does it take to install ios 7 on an iphone 4s?
    Note that it was previously on an old ios4 hardware.
    I downloaded ios7, and it started installing it via wi-fi 3 hours ago.
    Unfortunatelly it seems stuck halfway through.
    Should I assume it's stuck or is it normall?
    Many thanks!

    mine took a long time lost patience and rebooted it and then I started from the begining
    so guess I made it take even longer and I did it over usb

  • LR 6 did not install but CC says it is up to date.

    Opened Adobe CC last night. Updates to PS CC were available and installed without issues.
    LR was not listed as installed but was available. I have the Photographers package with PS CC and LR on my computer and pay monthly.
    I found LR 2015 listed as available for install and clicked on that. It took awhile but completed without errors.
    When I restarted LR, I'm still at version 5.7.
    This morning I clicked on Start and noticed LR 2015 listed as a program on my computer. I clicked on this but nothing happened. That listing is now gone.
    How can I get LR 2015 installed properly?

    I was unable to successfully install Lr 6 through the CC PC desktop application.
    Here is what I did on my first attempt at installing Lr 6:
    After installation of Lightroom 6 through the Creative Cloud PC Desktop app the new installation of Lr 6 does not work.
    Nothing happens when I click the application icon after installation.
    System: PC running the most current version of Win 8.1 Pro 64bit
    Processor/Memory: Intel Core i7-3820 3.60 GHz/16 gb
    What I did to try and resolve the issue:
    After installation of Lr 6 I noticed that Lr 5.7 was still installed.
    I closed out all applications and uninstalled Lr 5.7 and the new installation of Lr 6.
    I reinstalled Lr 6 through the CC desktop application and rebooted the PC.
    Still nothing happens when I click on the Lr 6 desktop icon application.
    I'm desperate to get this application working again. I have jobs to process ASAP. Any help from the community is most appreciated. Adobe won't answer my calls or chats at the moment.

    my c8180 printer error says two side print module not installed but i have used it before.i reinstalled printer with cd but did not help. Jean

    What operating system? The duplexer typically must be enabled (just once...) in the driver to make it available.  Enable the duplexer as shown in the Vista/Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide here.

  • Iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says to update software but there arent any available.. please help

    iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air,  it says something about updating the software, but i checked and there arent any updates available... please help

    Sorry for the second post..
    I currently do not have an older version of iPhoto to test this on, but you might also try coping the Originals from the iPhoto Library of iPhoto 11.
    To do that;
    1. Right (control) click on the iPhoto Library in the Picture Folder on the MacBook Air
    2. Select Show Package Content.
    3. Click on the Originals Folder
    4. Navigate to the disired Event or photos and copy those images to your Flash or External Drive, then copy those to the older version of iPhoto.
    Beware do not move, add or delete anything in the iPhoto Library, Apple has intensionally hidden it in later versions to prevent people from messing things up.

    Quit iTunes, restart your Mac and then restart the iPad and see if the iPad is recognized after that. If not, you can look through these articles.

    If you did not configure FindmyIPod on it, I'm afraid you are out of luck.  Report the theft to the local authorities and change the passwords to any and all accounts you have may used/accessed or configured on the iPod Touch.

  • Why I can not install the iTunes to my new 64bit laptop??? I have never had this kind of problem before on my 32 bit old laptop...

    I would like to get a help... I can not install the iTunes to my new (64bit) laptop... Why??? The installation stops somewhere after a few minute, looks like trying to install but can not go through until the end. I had my old (32bit) laptop and i have never had any problem with the installations... My new laptop is Asus (64bit), and the operating system just upgraded from Win8 to Win8.1....

    Hello rafaelfromweymouth
    Start with the first article and clear out any files in the Temp folder. You may need to remove iTunes and its related software and finally make sure that you have the 64-bit version of iTunes downloaded to install.

  • Can't install photoshop cs6 on brand new iMac - "Media db error: 18"

    At my company we recently hired a web designer – given his insistence on using the Adobe software, we decided to give Photoshop a try.
    We downloaded a trial version and tried to install it on the brand new iMac (no previous installations of adobe stuff) we just bought for the new desigher, but... it's not even installing!
    The installation process halts at around 2% and an error screen appears which gives generic instructions ("restart your computer and retry") and points to a log file where one can read "Media db error: 18".
    Of course we tried restarting the computer, cleaning up ~/Library, re-downloading the installer... no good – we then downloaded and run an adobe cleanup utility... still no good.
    Some people on the internet report they have the same problem... we found several questions on the matter, but no answer (besides "restart your computer" and other generic stuff that we tried and does not work).
    We then called Adobe support (Italian support) and they told us they don't give support for trial versions, like we should sight unseen buy a (pricey!) software we can't even install! .
    Can anyone here help?

    Thanks for your help!
    No, no beta or previous installations of any Adobe products – we are trying to install to a brand new iMac (just bought last week from the store): it has the latest version of everything (Os: Lion 10.7.4)
    Is there any debug switch I can turn on on the installer to get further information on what's going wrong? ("media db error" is a somewhat laconic error message)

  • I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. Is it Lion?

    I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.

    Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
    I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
    So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.
