MAcBook Pro Bluetooth dead

I cannot connect my wireless Apple mouse or keyboards anymore. They show being connected for 2 or 3 seconds, then go off as being unconnected.
I’ve tried deleting them and reconfigurating them as new Bluetooth devices, but to no avail.
Suggestions please?
Thanks

Check the batteries in all your devices, make sure there's nothing around (Mobile phones etc...) That can interfere with the connection, try connecting to another computer to see whether it's the computer or the devices that are the problem

How do I resynchronize my iPhone and MacBook Pro bluetooth connection?

I accidentally had my iPhone "forget" my MacBook Pro bluetooth connection, and I need it to reappear to resynchronize. My iPhone shows up as discoverable on my MacBook Pro, but it is not connected. When I have my bluetooth on on my iPhone 4S, the MBP doesn't appear in the list of my bluetooth devices.

You can sync using iTunes > iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes (via USB)
Or wirelessly using iCloud > Apple - iCloud - All your content on all your devices.

Mid-2010 MacBook Pro suddenly Dead

My MacBook Pro was working perfectly fine when I closed the lid and plugged it in. Fifteen minutes later I opened the lid and nothing happened. It will not turn on; no signs of life whatsoever. The only thing it will do is, with the power cord attached, all five of the Battery Life lights on the side light up solid for five seconds or until the cord is unplugged.
I am outside the U.S. at the moment and the Mac Authorized repair ship says they do not have the ability to test individual parts and can only replace the entire logic board at a very high price.
Any ideas?
Details:
Mid-2010, 15-inch, 2.4GHz, i5, Lion, confirmed no carbonization or liquid spills.
Thanks!

You should follow the instruction given for Condition and replace the battery. It's almost four years old with over a thousand charging cycles.....it's dead.

Pls help. MacBook Pro is dead. What could be the problem?

My macbook pro just suddenly won't turn on, won't charge and will not let me do anything on it. I bought it Sept 2010 and I never had any problems since.
When i plug the charger there is an orange light blinking, you wont even notice it so much. The battery life indicator on the side is not working too.
Here are the things I tried with another macbook pro:
Changed charger (my charger is working)
Changed the battery (my battery is fine) and put it back.
I saw online instructions but it seems my Mac still is totally DEAD:
1. Holding down power button for 10secs
2. Reset SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
3. And Safe Boot and Fsck etc.. http://www.macworld.com/article/2018853/when-good-macs-go-bad-steps-to-take-when -your-mac-wont-start-up.html
I'm hesitating to try the dvd cause it might just get stuck inside since my Mac doesnt really respond to any.
And I could just go to the Apple Store and save time and effort but it's not that easy where I live in and I would like to have my Mac's life back asap.
Any help is appreciated!

Zap the PRAM.

External monitor for macbook pro with dead screen

Macbook pro built in 2007 has a dead screen but is otherwise ok. Connected external monitor displays only the astral starburst screen on all macs. How can I get the monitor to display my desktop if I can't see the macbook screen?

Connected external monitor displays only the astral starburst screen on all macs.
Then it is working as designed.
By default, the external screen is combined with the built-in screen into an Extended Desktop, as seen in the Arrange tab below. You need to (Gather Windows) to get all controls on all displays, then drag the tiny white MenuBar to the display where you want it to appear. Then things will begin to operate as you expect.

MacBook Pro - Bluetooth and Speaker bug

Hello,
I've bought a new speaker (JBL Pulse) one day ago in order to use it like speaker for my Macbook pro.
Here it is, I need to use a bluetooth connection if I want to use my JBL speaker. My bluetooth is able to see my speaker, so they are connected. Everything works fine but after 1min, I can't explain why but the connection between them is broken. And it does it every time.
So first of all, I've tried other devices. My iphone is ok, my ipad is ok, I've tried with 2 other Macbook and everything works well. So I've concluded that the bug comes from my computer.
I have a magic mouse so I thought that maybe my mouse could create some disruption. I have disconnected my mouse but the bug is still here.
Then, I've called apple support.
The guy told me to do many things like reboot the macbook and other stuff like that. At the end he told me to reinstall my OSX. So i did it and the bug is still here.
Then I have even tried to delete the file inside my DD thinking that maybe it could help. but I have still the same problem.
It's not the first time that I have some troubles with my bluetooth. Sometimes it happens that my magic mouse is disconnected while I'm using it. Or even sometimes when I try to click on the bluetooth icon it doesn't even answer. And I have to restart my computer.
I'm a little bit frustrated because my macbook pro is in very good condition and it's a young one (almost one year). I don't have a lot of stuff inside.
A friend tried to solve the problem but he thinks that the problem comes from my "network card".
Thank you for your help and If you have any idea, do not hesitate Thanks
I wanted to go to the apple store but still not open in my city... (frustrated again ^^) So I'm gonna call them Monday morning if I'm still without any solution

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.

MacBook Pro Bluetooth problems

Anyone have any problems with BlueTooth mice and the MacBook Pro?
I've got a 2010 17" MacBook Pro running 10.7.1 (but the problem pre-dates Lion). The mouse is "jerky" meaning that when I move the mouse it doesn't follow immediately sometimes, and immediate fine control is near impossible. I've tried two different Magic Mice, swapped the batteries, etc. I've run all software updates.
The only thing I can figure is that it's the Bluetooth connection. And as best I can figure it's unique to this model machine as I didn't have these problems with the previous model.

MacBook Pro bluetooth tether to Ipad2

I was tethering my MacBook Pro wired LAN connection to my IPAD 2 via Bluetooth. All of the sudden it stopped working. I know that there was a security update on my MacBook Pro but nothing else has changed.
It was working like a champ. Beofre you ask, I have to connect via Blutooth becasue if I use the WIFI then my Itunes Remote will not work. I know..

Try a "hard" reset. Hold power and home button, swipe to shutdown screen will appear, keep holding and after about 5 seconds the device/s will shutdown.
I did this to iPad2 and 3GS after iPad2 stopped holding it's connection to 3GS bluetooth hotspot.
After performing the above, connection worked first time and 3G data was once again shared from 3GS to iPad2

New MacBook Pro Bluetooth issue

Hi All,
I have a new (early 2011 model) 15' MacBook Pro.
The Bluetooth is on and working fine with my magic trackpad, however everytime I go to the setup new bluetooth device I get a message saying bluetooth is off would you like to switch it on, dispite the fact I then use my bluetooth magic trackpad to click on the ok button!
Also setting up my Bluetooth headphones seems to pair ok, but then they aren't listed in the bluetooth menu.
Also I can't make bluetooth discoverable, the option is disabled.
I've tried rebooting, reflashing PRAM/NVRAM all to no luck
See the attached image for the wierd one, bluetooth packets being recieved without bluetooth being on.
Any suggestions or is it just broken?

Guys, you don't have to reinstall the whole thing, here is an easy fix:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3226735?start=0&tstart=0
The problem is caused by the migration process, because all the settings of your old Mac (including settings of BT) are transfered to the new one.
So basically you have to remove the old settings and log out/in once and it is fixed!
Hope this works out for you also!

MacBook Pro bluetooth streaming issues

Hi There,
I recently purchased an Aluratek iStream, it is a device that turns a normal pair of speakers into bluetooth audio streaming capable ones. I connected my Late-2011 MBP to it and tried playing music and I quickly noticed that the audio quality significantly dropped and the line had a lot of static on it. So I tried pairing it with my iPhone 4S and played the same exact song and there was no static at all. Then I tried pairing it with my older MacBook (running Lion) and I had no static issues either. Also, I tried rebooting my MBP and the issue persisted.
Anyway, has anyone else had the same issue?
Jonathan

Same issue except there isnt crackling. Instead, the audio volume is about 50% lower when played from my macbook pro
Works fine on my HTC thunderbolt, Even works fine on my brothers Mac (same year and OS build).
My audio used to work fine through my bluetooth adapters but now the audio is way lower than it should be. This is a recent problem, it worked fine before. I believe an update may have cuased this, then again my brothers mac is working just fine even after the update. I even tried switching the bluetooth adapter and it still has the problem so I know its my Mac.
Please fix this issue...
Me and my brother Both have 2011 Macbook Pros, running 10.7.4 and the adapters are Blackberry adapters used to receive the audio from my mac and play through my home entertainment system via aux jack from the bluetooth adapter.

Macbook Pro bluetooth problems with a Bose sound dock 10

So a while ago I bought my Bose Sound dock 10 and the bluetooth between both my Mac and iPhone has been great. But then OS X Mavericks came out and I start having issues with connecting through bluetooth for the first time. I have to go to the Sound dock and remove the bluetooth port, then put it back in, then try to connect from my Mac again but then having to do the process again. I know this isn't a fault with the Bose product itself as my iPhone 4 connects with absolutely no problems running iOS 7 and as do other Apple products that my family owns.
I have a 13", Mid 2012 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.3 with bluetooth version 4.2.4f1 13674 (v131 c5492)

MacBook Pro Bluetooth won't connect with iPhone4s

I am trying to connect my iPhone 4s bluetooth with my Macbook pro, but it won't let me connect . Sometimes it would say "Andrew's Mac Book is not a supported device" or "Make sure 'Andrew's Mac Book Pro' is turned on and in range" (My macbook is right next to my phone and its on. Why won't it connect?

You can't connect to your Mac to transfer data via Bluetooth. You can connect your Mac using the Hotspot feature to access the Internet via the iPhone.

MacBook Pro bluetooth crash after using iPhone 3GS as a modem

Hello all,
I have been experiencing a weird issue with Bluetooth pairing of an iPhone 3GS with a MacBook Pro.
After a while, connectivity to the iPhone is lost, and the MBP can't reconnect.

What does it means, and how to prevent this from happening again?

Eric,
If you are prepared to shell out 75 Euro, I can thoroughly recommend this:
http://www.novamedia.de/epages/e_produkte_macl2n.html
It worked for me after weeks of trying every other solution. Theyhave a demo mode which allows you to connect a few times for five minutes each time, so you can check it works okay with your 'phone.
