N9: Cannot enable Bluetooth (anymore)

I bought a N9 a few weeks ago. I tried to copy my contacts via Bluetooth from my C3-01, but it would not work, as the connection could not be set up properly.
Since a week I cannot even enable Bluetooth anymore. When I choose the menu option (Settings - Bluetooth) it takes about 20 seconds and nothing happens. Then I get to the bluetooth menu, where I cannot switch it on.. It just hangs and hangs...
Has anybody encountered this problem?

As I understand Hard Reset will remove all data, settings and application, am I right ?
Yes you are, upon N9 it is called "Clear device":
To Clear Device, do the following:
Open “Settings”
Tap “Reset”
Choose “Clear Device”
Tap “Yes” to confirm the process.
This process may take up to 15 minutes depending on the data stored in the phone. You may need to wait for the process to complete. The phone will switch off and then on again.

Cannot enable Bluetooth after v4.5 software upgrade

Hi, have upgraded to Device software v4.5 on my 8800. The paired devices were no longer there although other stuff such as address book, calendar etc where rinstalled OK. I cannot enable bluetooth, it just hangs with message "enabling bluetooth"and pulling the battery waiting a minute and then restarting does not help. Any ideas please?

I have done exactly the same thing to mine, cannot update from the O2 website, O2 are no help at all, RIM want to charge £129 +vat for repairing the phone which is just a rip off. This was a free upgrade offered and advertised by RIM which has impaired the operation of my phone what do they intend to do about it? Nothing thats what. If it wasn't for the web browsing, email and ease of use of the phone, the blackberry would be straight in the bin and replaced by a nokia, at least you get support with them.

Cannot enable Bluetooth on 8110

I purchased a shiny new 8110 today and immediately tried to connect to my old RAZR to transfer some pics. I was able to pair/connect but I didn't know the trick to transfer pics. Now it is later in the day and I am back to trying to connect to the RAZR again. I go to the Bluetooth options screen, go to the menu and select enable bluetooth, the splash screen pops up and says bluetooth enabled (also the title bar briefly changes to "Bluetooth: Enabled", but that last maybe 1/4 second) but the title bar still says "Bluetooth: Disabled" and I am unable to connect to the variety of Bluetooth device that I have available.
What are some tips and tricks I can try to get it to say enabled?

Go to Bluetooth Options -> select Cancel -> click Menu and select Options -> Discoveable: Yes -> press escape button and Save. Again click Menu and select Enable Bluetooth. Click Menu and select Add Device. Next time onwards you can start straight from Search for devices from here.
Now pair both the devices with a paskey. Send the content from RAZR and go to Media application on you Blackberry -> enter into desired media folder -> click Menu and select Receive using Bluetooth.

Cannot enable Bluetooth on 8520

Hi Guys,
Have had my curve for a while but just got my new car kit installed. Tried to find the device with but It won't enable Bluetooth. It does seem to attempt because it says "enabling bluetooth" but just stops with no error message or anything. V. strange.
Have been playing about with it for a while now but no joy... any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Caoimhe

Hi
1. Check if BT is available on your notebook (BT label at the bottom side must be available). If yes do follow:
2. Put WLAN switcher to ON position.
3. When the WLAN LED is on use FN+F8 key combination and ENABLE BT option.
After doing this new hardware will be recognized and installed. Check please document posted by deepblue.

Cannot enable bluetooth on Blackberry 8330...HELP!!!!

OK I have a brand new Curve 8330. I had paired it with the Plantronics Voyager headset and it has worked for a week now. Today I noticed my BT icon is not displaying so I went in and saw that Bluetooth had been enabled. Initial time into the BT options is searches for devices coming up with the "enabling bluetooth" message. After a couple of seconds that goes away and my BT still shows as disabled.
I go through the menu options and again attempt to enable, this time as soon as I click enable the menu disappears and nothing happens.
This was working fine yesterday. Have not installed or connected it to anything else since it was last working.
Any ideas on where to go next?
Thanks,
JR
Solved!

Try resetting the device by removing the battery for 1 min then replacing it. Try after it boots back up

Cannot enable bluetooth

I am unable to enable Bluetooth on my 24" iMac (purchased new in Mar 2009), which I'm fairly certain has Bluetooth built-in.
When I try to enable Bluetooth in the Bluetooth System Preferences, clicking on the "On" checkbox briefly shows a checkmark, but it immediately gets unchecked. The Discoverable checkbox is checked, but greyed out. The Bluetooth status icon in the menu bar simply reports "Bluetooth: Off".
I am unable to see anything of relevance in the system console logs. I have tried deleting the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Bluetooth.xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx xxxxxx.plist files and rebooting. I have also tried enabling Bluetooth from a freshly created account, with identical behavior.
The Bluetooth entry in the the system profiler reports:

Any ideas?

Then, you have a hosed installation or a broken bluetooth radio. I get viable checkmarks in the prefPane and this in System Profiler, with bluetooth on or off:

But since no hardware is shown on your machine, its most likely a broken bluetooth radio. A trip with the iMac to the local Apple Store is suggested.

8330 cannot enable bluetooth

Had the device for about 20 months and bluetooth always worked fine. But I have not used in probably 6 months. Went to used and I can not enable it. It just sits there. I have tried it from the Bluetooth icon and from the manage connection icon. I have done dozens of battery pulls. I downgraded the OS - no change. Put back the latest OS and still no joy.
The unit is fully charged.
Modified all of the options in the bluetooth icon with more battery pulls
I see a number of post on this subject and rarely do I see a sucessful result.
At 20 months, I know I probably should just go get a new unit but that is not my first choice.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

"User" Library in the FontBook is "Off" and I cannot enable it. Help!

Few weeks ago I decided to speed up my new Mac little bit by turning all fonts in the "User" Library "Off". Yesterday I needed some fonts which are in the User library, so I opened FontBook and tried to enable "User" library, but I could not. I cannot enable it anymore. I can click on "Enable "User"", but nothing changes. It remains with the "Off" label, and shows no fonts in it, while in reality there are 50 fonts there (~/Library/Fonts). Any ideas how to enable it again? Please help. Thanks in advance!

Guntis Bukalders:
Unless you have a good reason for having FileVault turned on, I suggest you turn it off. I can cause a lot of grief i get a bit too much on our HDD. It utilizes your HDD space for a sparse image approximately the size of your Users Folder.
Is there a reason why you wanted it turned Font Book off?
I enabling User in the Edit menu doesn't do it try this. Shut down your computer completely. Then try starting up in Safe Mode, log in, empty Trash, retart computer and log in normally. Open Font Book and try enabling user again.
Good luck.

Your redemption code was used to acquire an activation code. The activation code is what you need to use when you want to reinstall/enable the software again. Check your Adobe account online to see if the number(s) can be found there.

Cannot enable hyper-v in windows 8.1(EFI from bootcamp)

Hi Guys,
I wonder whether anybody has the same issue as me.
Use boot camp assistant to follow the instruction to install windows 8.1 and failed at last step said windows cannot write into boot configuration data something
Find one remediation solution to delete the partition created by boot camp and create it from disk utitlity. everything went smooth and get windows 8.1 installed(Bios), can even enable the hyper-v without any issue
Find another thread talking about EFI boot. So try it with the way(need use gdisk to do some patching and finally need recreate bcd record). windows 8.1 installed without any issue, not sure whether it is EFI boot. But I cannot enable hyper v anymore. after tick the option in windows features and it restart twice and nothing happen. The hyper-v option still remain in windows feature.
Anybody has the similar issue and provide your valuable advice? Thanks a lot.
BTW, the hardware is rMBP 15", i7 2.3GHZ, 16G RAM and 512G SSD

Hi TeddyIsSam
Encountered the same problem on my 27" iMac Mid-2010 (CPU i5-2500s)
I tried for hours/days and could not enable Hyper-V.
If i enabled hyper-v, windows would boot to black screen and could not be repaired without disabling hyper-v.
Found the problem. installing bootcamp from USB with always use latest EFI boot and hyper-v doesnt like it - at least on my old iMac.
Installing windows with old bootcamp style - BIOS emulation (or whatever apple call it) works OK.
non-EFI (or old bootcamp) is when you get 1-2 second of cursor flash in the top left before windows boots.
Unfortunately, i had removed my super drive DVD from iMac... so i could only install bootcamp from USB and this requires EFI boot only.
To remedy this, i used this process which was very,very time consuming, costs $ for winclone and not for beginners
http://huguesval.com/blog/2012/02/installing-windows-7-on-a-mac-without-superdri ve-with-virtualbox/
However, i can confirm i can now happily run hyper-v with Windows 8.1. great performance. It boots in old non-EFI mode which doesnt seem to have any downside? except the 1-2 cursor flash and i had to manually install latest graphics drivers from ATI as bootcamp drivers we buggy.
Hope this saves someone a lot of time!!!
im assuming later generation Macs happily run hyper-v with latest EFI.

Why I cannot enable 3G on iPhone 4S

How come you cannot enable and disable 3G on the iPhone 4S but you can on the iPhone 4 with iOS5?

I have the same problems - in the area I life 3G is very poor so it allways changes, searches or just has 1 reception point. So I allways had 3G deactivated.
In the 4S it´s impossible to do so - damm..
And I think I´ve found out the reason why: SIRI
When you don´t have 3G Siri cannot work properly - if I ask SIRI "where do you come from" - I get an answer on WIFI or 3G but on Edge it tells me that it didn´t understood me.
So it seems that Siri only works with a descent 3G connection - that´s maybe the reason why the took out the possiblity to deactivate as then Siri won´t make sense anymore.
PLEASE APPLE I DON`T CARE! I want to save my battery and have stable connection for phoning etc.
Siri is not more important for me then that - so please bring the functionality back - or you force me to jailbreak what I didn´t do on my 2G or 3GS so I don´t want to do that no either.
Please give us the freedom to decide!

Satellite L655-145 cannot install bluetooth stack

Cannot install bluetooth stack. Setup programm just freeze. All other drivers installed successfuly. Device manager show only Bluetooth ACPI device. This problem appeared after updating BIOS from original version 1.80 to older (1.80->1.90->2.10->2.20). Downgrade to 1.80 take no effect.
PS. Sorry for my bad english.

Hi
As far as I know the notebook is equipped with an WIFI and Bluetooth combo card!
This means that Wlan and BT functionality is controlled by one card.
If you downgraded the BIOS (dont know why) please set this to default firstly.
Save the changes and reboot the notebook.
Then download the BT stack from Toshiba BT portal.
Enable the BT (FN+F8) and then start the BT stack installation once again.

Can't enable Bluetooth on my Satellite A300- 1BZ

The package of my notebook listed bluetooth on this but I cannot enable this. Operating FN-F8 just shows WiFi on/off.
Also there seems to be nothing in the control panel or device manager . I was wondering if it maybe the earlier bios upgade to 3.6 version was the problem but I dont know if it was on before this.

Please apologize but this has nothing to do with arrogance.
Usually you have to check firstly the notebook hardware specifications before you would start to enable something Furthermore before using any devices you should take a look into the user manual if such device is available or not.
Many people ask something which was already described in the user manual or already mentioned on the forum

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.
Regards,
Nicolas.
(I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.
