my macbook won't recognize bluetooth devices ie: my new printer

Rather than spending a lot of time trying to fix an older AirPort Express device that may be worth $0 to $20 US, maybe you should just buy a new one.
You still may have some network problems based on what you've told us, but starting out with a new device may be the most sensible thing to do. I learned my lesson that spending hours trying to fix routers that might be worth only $40 if fixed just isn't worth the time spent on them.

  • MacBook no longer recognizes any devices that require the USB port (mouse, iPod, etc.)

    After doing my latest software update, my MacBook no longer recognizes any devices that require the USB port (mouse, iPod, etc.).  I've restarted the computer and that didn't help.  Any thoughts on what to try?  (I've already restarted the computer.)

    Try using the procedures in this article to eject the disk.
    Best of luck.

  • Hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA

    hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA

    Marco,
    Here are some suggestions:
    1) Check the manual the Keithley manual to see how to configure the RS-232.   
        On some models you need set Factory defaults to USER and turn on the RS-232.   
        Also there may be a setting for SCPI which you want on (probably on by default).
    2) On your PC - open Device Manager. See if a COM port exists and is functional.
         You must get this working before continuing.
          You can set the COM port parameters by right clicking and selecting Properties.  
         (On some PCs the onboard ports can be disabled in the BIOS)
    3) If step two was OK, open MAX (Measurement and Automation eXplorer).      
        On the left side, click on Devices and Hardware.   
        Click on Serial and Parallel.   
        Go to the COM port you found in Device Manager.   
        Open a VISA Test Panel.
        Now I don't have one I can look at right now, so this is general idea:
       Configure the COM port to match the Keithley settings (should be OK if step 2 worked)  
       Go to the (I think) Input Output tab (you want to send a command)   
       The command string input should already have a *IDN? entered, if not, type it in.   
       Click on the Query button to send the command and check the response.  
       If you get an ID string back (Company name, Model, FW Version ...) then it works.   
       (Disregard an error saying it did not get enough charcters back.) 
    I hope this helps,

  • Macbook does not see bluetooth devices

    I have a MacBook Pro with bluetooth enabled but it will not see bluetooth devices.  I have a new Bose speaker that connects fine to my iPhone but not at all to the Mac.  Macbook says it is "discoverable".  Any suggestions on what to check?
    Thanks,

    This is the iPhone forum, and as your question has nothing to do with the iPhone, you should consider posting in a more appropriate forum.

  • Can't remove bluetooth device in file explorer.

    I had an LG LS970 Phone paired with my windows 8.1 HP touchsmart PC. After I uninstalled the phone under bluetooth devices, it keeps showing up on my File Explorer. When I double click on it, an FTP No Response dialog box pops up. When i right click
    on it, it does not give me an option to delete it. How do i get rid of it? I am also trying to pair my iPad with my PC but its not working. I think this might be a problem. Please help.

    Hi,
    According to your description, it must the driver which relate with LG-LS970 no uninstall completely.
    First of all, please check Programs in Control Panel, make sure the Bluetooth related driver removed completely.
    Seondly, Access to Device Manager, check is it had Bluetooth device driver, if so, uninstall or disable it.
    Thirdly, Open Registry, CTRL+F, search LG-LS970, if it found any value, delete it.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you are having issues with the bluetooth please follow the troubleshooting steps in the attached article. You have already done a good job restarting the device but I would make sure to complete the other steps listed in the article.

  • New MacBook does not recognize bluetooth mouse

    I just migrated to a new MacBook, running (OS10.6.8) and it will not recognize my Logitech Bluetooth laser mouse. The mouse works just fine with my old MacBook. I downloaded control center, but that also does not recognize the mouse. Any help would be appreciated.

    "browse device" showed the mouse, but said it was not connected. I started the setup assistant, but it did not seem to see the mouse. But I noticed a tiny button on the bottom of the mouse labelled "connect" and pushing that while running setup assistant seems to have done the trick. Now I hope it "sticks".
    Thanks to IAmMe123 for pointing me down the right path.

  • IPad unable to recognize bluetooth device after "forgetting" device.

    I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser PXC310 BT wireless bluetooth headphones to use with my iPad. It worked fine until one day a friend pressed the "forget device" option in the iPad's bluetooth menu. Since then the iPad is unable to recognize headphone's bluetooth signal, even though the headphone's bluetooth is turned on. Can somebody please help me reconnect the device? Also restarting has NOT helped. Thanks a lot!

    So it turns out that infact this is not an Apple issue, it was a Sennheiser issue. The headphones needed to be reset. http://www.sennheiser.co.uk/sennheiser/products.nsf/resources/DD29E4FD02028BB9C1 257611003F55A9/$File/PXC_310_BT_US.pdf#page21 This helps.

  • MacAir can't connect Bluetooth Device successfully

    My laptop OS is running Windows7 32bit in Bootcamp 4.0. I  bought a Plantronics BackBeat GO2 bluetooth headset recently. This headset can be pairing with my laptop. However, it was can't install the necessary driver properly. And Windows has shown the error as following :  "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)".
    I tried download a bluetooth driver from Broadcom official web site but still doesn't work.

    I think you need to contact either Microsoft or the headset manufacturer.
    No Apple products are involved.

  • Macbook can't recognize Airport Express!

    Hi guys,
    I have a Macbook Pro Retina 15" Early 2013 running Mavericks 10.9.1. My router is the Apple Airport Express A1088 and what is happening is: I did the setup of the Airport Express last year and everything was working fine. I had to download the Airport Utility 5.6 and then I configured the Airport Express. Alright. But today, my wifi connection was not showing in my Macbook Pro, but it was working fine in my iPhone 5. I tried to turn the Airport Express off, and the same for my Macbook Airport, but it doesn't work. So I decided to do a hard reset and also a reset to factory settings. What is happening is my Macbook Pro showed only one time after doing the reset and I did all the steps of the setup using the Airport Utility 5.6. But when the airport express restarted, it was working only with my iPhone 5, not with my Macbook. So I tried to reset again to factory settings and now I can't do the setup because the Airport Express doesn't show up in my Macbook as a new base station or anything else. With my iPhone 5 I can see the Airport Express as a new base station, however I am not able to setup it because it is a old version (A1088).
    I don't know why my Macbook Pro is not showing up the Airport Express. I have already tried to make it work with Windows (via virtual machine) and using Airport Utility 5.6. I also know that THIS IS NOT A HARDWARE PROBLEM! Any other network I am able to join with my Macbook.
    I also looked in this forum about other users that had the same problem, but almost all of them started working after a hard reset or reset to factory settings, which is not working for me.
    I just wish my Macbook to recognize the Airport Express, until yesterday everything was working fine. And today it is only working with my iPhone, but I am not able to set up it with the iPhone.
    Help!
    Thanks!

    Hey Luis!
    I am sorry - i only searched for Apple Airportutility and Mavericks to post the Link :-)
    Did you already tried
    - to delete your Wifi from the list of known Wifi's from your MacBook/System Prefs/Network/AirPort/Option/
    - or maybe delete and reinstall the AirPort Service from your MacBook/System Prefs/Network
    Cheers

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Your log shows that graphic drivers have crashed, but there aren't any third-party extensions installed on your computer, so I suspect that there's a problem with the graphic card. I recommend you to take the Mac to an Apple Store to check if there's a hardware issue

  • My MacBook no longer recognizes any devices

    Hello! I need help
    I was using my laptop like normal. I was actually downloading pictures from some old discs i had (CDs) and I put one in and my mac didnt read it. Now I have a CD stuck in my mac and I can't eject it. I push eject button and nothing. After about ten minutes, the mac finally reads the CD and it pops up in the finder under devices but it is grey and I cant click on it. Then after another ten minutes the eject button shows up next to it, and I click in and nothing happens ):
    My mac just freezes up. I also plugged in my Android and it did not read it either.
    I think that its no longer recognizing any devices..what do i do?!
    HELP ME PLEASE!
    thanks!
