Macbook pro 15.4" - no bluetooth module?

Has anyone experienced a missing bluetooth module in their macbook pro?
In my System Profiler, the Bluetooth page says "No information found".

Hello Tommy:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Although this article refers to a G5, most of the troubleshooting steps should apply:

  • Macbook Pro USB Overcurrent Notice - Bluetooth related?

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with my macbook pro that is really frustrating me. I am constantly getting a USB Overcurrent notice, even though I have nothing connected. The really curious thing is that it also seems to be having an effect on the bluetooth capability of the machine. Before the notice, bluetooth works fine, and after, it is either "unavailable" or, when running Windows XP in bootcamp, the bluetooth module doesn't even show up in the system manager. Any ideas would be really helpful!

    if it is in warranty or applecare then i'd call support, sounds like a hardware fault

  • How can I connect my new LG Sound Bar NB 3531A with my MacBook Pro Mid 2010 via Bluetooth

    Hey,
    bought a new sound bar and want to connect it to my MacBook Pro. When start pairing an error shows up telling me to check the Bluetooth range and so on. When I try to connect without a code (0000) there is a connection but it´s not possible to use the bar as a stereo headset in the bluetooth menue.
    The Sound Bar should be ready to play because I can use it with my iPhone and on Win-notebooks.B
    There are no system-updates availabe and I´m using OSX 10.8.4. Can someone help?
    Best wishes from Germany

    It seems that my bluetooth driver crashed or anything. Tried it with an other MacBook and worked fine. Called the Apple- and LG-Support.
    The Apple-Supporter told my to reinstall my OS X. Crashed. I´ll start a complete new installation today.

  • Macbook pro and Iphone 5 bluetooth

    That's just amazing, two of Apple's premiere products - iPhone and Macbook Pro - are not configured to exchange files over Bluetooth.  It worked with a Samsung phone and the same MBP.  Come on Apple, you can't leave out something so basic....fix it!! and by the way,, Apple techical support suck!

    Sorry, you can't do what you want to do. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iOS device. That's why you're getting the error message you're getting.
    If you want these ringtones on your phone, you need to sync them to your phone.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 15, Stop bluetooth device during file I/O on Bootcamp Windows7

    Hi.
    My Macbook pro Retina 15, Stop magic mouse & apple bluetooth keyboard during some file copy local folder or usb storege or nas on bootcamp windows7 pro 64bit.
    I called apple korea. but they don't have answers. also It base on bootcamp windows, they can't support me
    It only occure on my macbook pro retina on bootcamp. only bluetooth devices not own keyboard or touchpad.
    My iMac(2009late) does not problem.
    Yesterday I clean setup bootcamp again, It still problem.
    I just guess some bootcamp driver problem at ssd or bluethooth. Mac OS also OK.
    First time I got new ratina, no problem. nothing to chaged. just update collectly.
    Anybody help or same problem here?
    Thanks

    I should point out, this happens with/without peripherals attached.. ILOK dongle was disconnected at the time of crash. I will however check for updates..
    I have found somthing interesting tho - as it's out of warranty I downloaded a fan controller and forced the fans to full speed... The MacBook played video for hours, no problems. I believe this is a overheating issue because they fans just do to turn spin fast enough without being forced... Or it could be dust?
    I'm going to have Genius Bar clean it out if the will?.,.

  • Macbook Pro Retina and Older Bluetooth Keyboard Bug

    I have the macbook pro retina and the older full size white bluetooth keyboard.  When I wake the macbook from sleep mode, the keyboard repeats all keypress many times.  Like the keys are sticky.  Turning the keyboard off and on fixes this problem.  I am running OS X 10.8.1. 

    I have the same problem with my older white Apple Wireless Extended Keyboard, which had been working fine with my 2009 iMac. But I experience the issue sporadically with my new Mac Mini. I've read reports of people resolving some BT issues by turning off "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" in the Advanced pane of the Bluetooth System Preferenes Pane.
    There are also people having the issue on iOS devices using various Apple BT keyboards. No help, but interesting to note that it's happening across various devices, keyboard models, and OSs.

  • HT3887 I m not able to found Bluetooth in my Macbook Pro. Error is Bluetooth : Not available.

    I am not able to found Bluetooth in my Macbook Pro. Found error is Bluetooth not available. Please inform me.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Somehow, OS X doesn't detect Bluetooth in your computer. First, reset the PRAM and the SMC, and see if you can use Bluetooth then.
    If not, hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting to start in OS X Recovery, and reinstall OS X. If, after reinstalling OS X, you can't use Bluetooth, there's a hardware issue with your Mac, so take your Mac to an Apple Store or reseller

  • Macbook pro retina - Sennheiser mm450 bluetooth pairing problem

    Sorry people but have, with surprise, comunicate a bluetotth pairing problem of my Sennheiser MM450 bluetotth  headset with my new macbook pro retina 15".
    No headset detected by may mac.
    No problems with other bluetooth devices and this macbook.
    No problems with this headset and iphone or other computer.
    I'm very disapointed.
    Hope to have some suggestion for solve the problem
    Thanks

    It may be necessary to turn on the aptX codec via Bluetooth Explorer -> Utilities -> Special Options
    That did the trick for me.
    The bluetooth explorer used to be available by pressing option then the bluetooth button, but now its bundled seperatly either with xcode or here :https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=bluetooth%20explorer

  • Macbook pro tries to connect bluetooth keyboard when waking up from sleep

    I have a 2012 Macbook pro and it is trying to connect to a bluetooth keyboard when I wake it up from sleep. The computer freezes while it is searching for the keyboard and only works properly once it discovers there is no keyboard connected. I have never used a bluetooth keyboard and I currently have my bluetooth switched off.
    Doe anyone have any idea how I might stop this from happening? It can often freeze for quite a while, which can be very frustrating.

    I have the exact same issue. MacBook Pro Mid 2012. OSX Yosemite 10.10.2. Mine is actually brand new.

  • Add usb bluetooth to a macbook pro with built in bluetooth?

    Hello. I have so many issues with bluetooth I was wondering if I could just add a USB bluetooth instead of using the built in bluetooth on my 2009 macbook pro 15" laptop? Turning the bluetooth off and hoping for the best.

    For starters... if you launch PhotoBooth or FaceTime, does the camera work?  If you're trying to use it on a website, many sites access the camera via Flash.  You would need to download and install Flash from Adobe:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/
    (select the OS X installer)
    If your camera is not working with PhotoBooth or FaceTime, let us know.

  • Macbook pro doesn't have bluetooth?

    I can't install magic mouse on my 2013 macbook pro. I can't seem to find bluetooth.
    It doesn't have on this macbook?

    Yes. your MBP has bluetooth. Click on the Apple menu and select about this mac then system report, does it have anything under the bluetooth tab? Is bluetooth turned on in the bluetooth preference pane?

  • Does the latest Macbook Pro support Apt-X bluetooth for hi-fi audio?

    Hi
    I have read that the latest Mac Mini supports Apt-X Bluetooth for high quality audio transfer, and that Apple is introducing this technology as standard in its products, but am wondering if the mid 2010 Macbook Pro also supports this?
    If not does anyone have experience using either the Creative or Sennheiser USB dongles with the Macbook Pro? I am hoping to use the QED LIVE uPLAY receiver which supports Apt-X with the Macbook Pro, and would be interested to hear about other people's experience of this device or similar devices.
    Thanks
    Nick

    If you check out the teardowns on ifixit.com, it would seem that the Macbook, Macbook Pro and Mac Mini all use the same Bluetooth + 802.11n part from Broadcom: BCM943224PCIEBT.
    I'd imagine that if the hardware and software are the same that bluetooth support of these 3 machines should also be the same. However, I can't find any evidence for or against this. Perhaps people with these machines could test it out. Better yet, perhaps makers of apt-x supporting headphones could test this out as it may help sales. Best yet, perhaps Apple could state this on their tech spec pages if indeed these machines support apt-x...

  • New Macbook Pro does not see bluetooth mouse

    I have just purchased a new Macbook Pro and wish to use the bluetooth mouse from my desktop Mac. However, the Macbook does not seem to see this device when I try to connect. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

    Do you still have the instructions for your mouse? Most have a button somewhere that puts it in a discoverable state.

  • MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) Bluetooth Not Available

    I have disconnected my BT mouse which was unresonsive. The MacBook then restarted of it's own accordand and now says BT not available.
    System Info say Bluetooth - No information found.?

    Try a SMC reset and test.

    If you still don't have any BT hardware installed then you have a hardware failure and you should take the system to Apple to be repaired.
