Need to disable Bluetooth

I have a customer who needs to disable Bluetooth on his new Macbook Pro for work in a security zone. We have renamed the IOBluetoothFamily.kext and IOBlutetoothHIDDriver.kext files (System/Library/Extensions) but the device can still be turned on in System Prefs. We need to be able to disable the ability to turn Bluetooth on most of the time, but have the ability to turn it on again when in a non-secure zone.
We need to do the same with the internal Mic...suggestions?

Disable Bluetooth Option

Our company deals with audio/video media provided by content providers and per MPAA guidelines we need our macs configured where no media content can be copied/transferred out of Macs via External Drives, Wireless, Bluetooth etc.
I was able to configure mac to restrict copy to external connected drives. But iam wondering how to disable bluetooth option so that data transfer to a bluetooth device can be avoided. Is there a way we can disable or remove bluetooth option in Macs?
Thanks for yourhelp

Have you checked this item in BIOS: "BIOS --> Security --> I/O Port Access --> Bluetooth"?

Disable Bluetooth running at startup.

How can i disable bluetooth running each time windows starts, as i want it _only sometimes_ - not always. My notebook is A200 23W and i have wi-fi always on.

There is a new Bluetooth stack version available.
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=download
It has two new startup options
"Right click Bluetooth systray icon >Options > IT Admin > IT Security settings >Settings...>Limit Bluetooth settings".
Now you can decide if Bluetooth should always be disabled after startup.
"Turn off Bluetooth function on exiting Bluetooth Manager":
- This means you have to enable it e.g. by using the Bluetooth systray icon if you want to use it after the bootup
"Do not register Bluetooth Manager on startup"
- This option allows you to do not start Bluetooth at all after startup.
In this case you need to start Bluetooth from the Program folder in oder to use it.

Curve (8330) Spontaneously disables bluetooth

My 8330, on about the 3rd day I had it, disabled bluetooth all on it's own. I turned it back on, and next time I looked, it was back off. After turning it back on several times, there came a point at which using the menu to enable bluetooth did not work... it would not enable.
I talked to my salesman and he suggested removing and replacing the battery, which works, for a day or so at a time.
A big pain is that when bluetooth disables itself, I have no way to know I am missing calls until I stop what I am doing and look at the phone.
I noticed a similar thread in the 8100 forum.
It sounds like a revised firmware could fix this?

Yes it just is a software glitch.
Please upgrade to the latest 4.5.
No need to take it back when all the repair centre is going to do is remove and re-install the OS.
If this still doesn't fix ur issue, then take it back
If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.

If it was just/or also really helpful - Give it a Kudos.. Go on Mate.. Help the rest of the clueless blackberry user world find their answer too..

How to disable Bluetooth Auto-Connect

Hello Everybody
I have a JBL Micro-Wireless Bluetooth enabled speaker.
My Laptop model is Lenovo Thinkpad X220 running Windows 7.
My laptop has Broadcom Bluetooth stack.
Now, the problem is, whenever i turn on the speaker, my laptop connects to it immediately.
But, It just shows as connected with JBL Micro-Wireless in Bluetooth Device Control
The Bluetooth Hands free audio in Available Playback Devices be kept disconnected and i won't be able to connect to it.
I won't be able to also disconnect the Bluetooth speaker in Bluetooth Device Control.
I found that, Either if i disable the Thinkpad Bluetooth 3.0 device in device manager and enable it back or Uptick and Tick Audo Sink service in JBL Micro-Wireless properties dialog box in Sound, i can connect to the speaker manually and it starts working
just fine and i can disconnect the speaker also any number times.
You can blame the Broadcom Bluetooth Drive Stack for this issue, but i have tried using the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack too.
You can now blame my JBL Micro-Wireless speakers for this issue, but, i don't have any problems with any other audio source.
So, you have to give solution to disable Auto-Connect for my Bluetooth Speaker from my Laptop.
My Bluetooth speaker don't have any interface to disable auto-connect.
I have tried stopping both the Bluetooth Services in Windows Services to disable Auto-Connection, but it didn't help.

Hi,
Untill now, there is no effective method in Windows to disable Bluetooth device connect automaticlly. Here is another workaround method maybe helpful.
That's using net stop/start service command to disable Bluetooth service.
Firstly, you can access Services by typing services.msc
command in RUN. Then choose Bluetooth service and change its startup type to
Manual.
Next time when you need using Bluetooth, just run net start bthserv in Command Prompt with administrator.
The bluetooth should be work normally.
When you didn't want to use it, just run net stop bthserv command to stop it.

How can I delete my voice mail messages on my Samsung Galaxy Centura cause i need to send it into warranty replacement, and they say I need to disable my phone. The recording just says its full and won't let me listen to any messages. When I call my voicemail it asks me to enter my password, but the keyboard won't come up.
Is there a way I can call from another phone and get my messages and erase them, before sending the phone off to warranty.I don't want my personal info tampered with.

If you have a Samsung phone why are you asking in an Apple iPhone forum?

User Settings in ALV - need to disable

Hi - I need to disable the user settings for ALV, I try from if_salv_wd_std_functions ~ set_dialog_settings_allowed( abap_false ) but is working fine for the screen, if I go to the column and do right click, the user settings are enable at the column level.
Is there any way I can disable the column user settings?
thanks!
Jason P-V

Hi Jason,
I simply set the WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION parameter of my component's apllication to 'X' and now i don't see the usersetting option when I right click even on the column of the ALV. You can try that.
To do so: double click on your application, go to the parameters tab, make it editable, in the parameters column get 'WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION' parameter and set its value as 'X'.
I hope it helps.
Regards

Disable Bluetooth File Transfer - Windows 7

How do I disable Bluetooth file transfer for Windows 7? I am planning to see if it can be done via Group Policy (custom adm or GPP) or by creating a power shell script.
I read the existing questions here but its getting me nowhere. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/0a04b41b-05a8-4d7b-9ae0-212137cc4af7/restrict-bluetooth-file-transfer?forum=winserverGP

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
For Bluetooth devices, try this :

If it doesn't work, You may also try to use GPP Services to disable the Bluetooth Support Service (BthServ).

Need to disable Options Internet Options in CHM

I see how to disable the Options button, but I don't want to do that. I only need to disable the Internet Options menu item. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
This is required by several of our customers. Thank you.

Hi there
All I can say is that if that's an absolute requirement, CHM isn't your thing. That option is simply part of the CHM viewer application that Microsoft is in control of. No way to change that to my knowledge,
Cheers... Rick

Need to disable the clearing of browsing history and what is the "about:config" function for it?

I am working on an Group Policy Administrative template for Wetdog.exe, and it's awesome by the way. Just want to know what function to use (listed in "about:config" url) so i can turn this feature off entirely.
I don't want my users deleting browsing history, or have any ability to view it either.
Still, i want the browser to keep at least 30 days of history.
This is EASILY accomplished in Internet Explorer via GPO, but not so much in Mozilla with wetdog.exe and it's admin templates. I am using Windows Server 2003 enterprise edition R2 on 2 domain controllers, and Windows XP Professional SP3 client workstations with Mozilla 3.6.3 and the latest version of Wetdog.exe and it's admin templates.
Any help would be much appreciated!!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== My boss decided that we need to keep browsing history locked out of our existing 700+ workstations ==
== Troubleshooting information ==
just need to disable the "history" button, the "tools\clear recent history" button, and "tools\options\privacy tab\history"

It can be annoying, but I think their motivation is good. They are trying to make things better for their customers and I think they have, even though sometimes it is annoying. I think it would be nice if they would advise us when the pages are going to be down for maintenance, In the mean time, you could have another E mail account so you can always get access to your E mail.

There is no way to do so if you did not set it up in advance. If it was stolen or lost report it to your local autorities.
