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.

New Macbook does not recognize Time Capsule backup from old macbook

I just purchased a late 2013 13" macbook pro. I have a mid 2009 macbook pro running Mavericks. The new macbook will not recognize the time capsule backup from my old macbook. I am trying to migrate all data over, but the new mac does not ever acknowledge the external drive that contains the backup. I've tried two different external drives with the same result each time. Both computers are running Mavericks.

Do you see the drive in Disk Utility?
If yes, run Repair Permissions then restart the drive.
1. Open Disk Utility in your Applications/Utility folder.
2. Click on the First Aid tab and select Repair Permissions
3. Click on the icon for your boot volume.
4. Click the repair permissions button.
In System Preferences > Time Machine can you select the old Time Machine with Select Disk?

My new Macbook does not have a DVD slot. How do I install my Kodak printer now?

I can't install my Kodak printer because my new Macbook does not have a DVD slot, as my old Macbook had. How do I install the printer without a DVD? My Kodak printer is not listed anywhere.

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 does not recognize Treo 650 Bluetooth DUN!

Hey gang-
We got our new MacBook today. For some reason, it does not recognize the Bluetooth Dialup Networking (DUN) capability of my Palm Treo 650. I have no problem creating the trusted pair, and the MacBook and Treo discover each other no problem. But when I finish setting up the trusted pair, the Bluetooth Setup Assistant reports "There were no supported services found on your device"
Now here's why I'm worried- In the exact same setup, my 1-year old iBook G4 recognizes and offers the choice of Bluetooth Dialup Networking from my Treo! Something is definitely different in Bluetooth support in the MacBook.
Any got a MacBook to recognize Treo 650 DUN?
Thanks!
Dave

I am having the same problem with both a brand-new Macbook and intel iMac. After going through setup identically to several other Macs around, I only get "There were no supported services found on your device." Bluetooth syncing works fine, but neither of the Intel machines will find the DUN. Powerbook G4 12in and iBook G4 12in both work fine with identical setup procedures. There is definitely something buggy here.

Macbook does not recognize external USB drive - except when booting with CD

Hi all,
I recently swapped my Macbook's internal HD (Toshiba 100gb 5400 rpm) into an external USB enclosure (Eagle Consus). The computer does not recognize the external HD, even when using two USB cables for extra power. No luck with safe mode or resetting PRAM. Disk utility just hangs with spinning wheel if I start it. Switching the USB ports does not help.
I thought it might be a power problem until I noted the following:
1)The external drive works fine if I boot the Macbook from the Mac OS install CD... with this I can run disk utility and scan the drive with no problem
2)It works fine on an old Mac Mini with only ONE of the USB connectors plugged in
3)The enclosure worked fine on the Macbook when I had the new drive in it (320 GB 7200 RPM) while copying the files over
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
--T

It is actually using a power supply, yet it will not actually power on unless it is connected to a computer's USB port. At least this is how it works on my old desktop running Windows 2000. When you disconnect the drive from Windows, or put the machine in hibernate mode, the device actually shuts down. It powers back up once the machine wakes up from hibernate mode.
It's a somewhat older device which predates the Macbook Pro, but it claims to support older Mac, such as the G3, G4, G5, iMac, iBook. OSX 10.0.4. So perhaps it's just too old?
It's a Buffalo HD-HB250U2 (250 GB).
So you're in Japan too?

BlackBerry Desktop Software does not recognize Bluetooth

When I try to add my BlackBerry using Bluetooth the BlackBerry Desktop Software does not recognize it. I have ensured that my BlackBerry is in Listen mode but it won't connect. I know the Bluetooth support on my BlackBerry Storm is working (9550) because it does recognize my laptop.

New macbook does not "see" my network, old macbook pro and iphones do...

Yesterday I installed an upgrade to my airport extreme base station, now my macbook pro and the 2 iphones in the household see the wifi network but the other macbook does not. It does see the neighbors wifi networks and will see it when I connect via a cable to the base station by no wireless connection... help!

I am having a similar problem. I have 19 iBooks in a classroom and, suddenly, none of them can see the AirPort Express network when they log on. Instead, the iBooks try to connect to a Windows-based school network. I have designated the AEBS network as the only preferred network but the iBooks NEVER try to connect to it first. However, if you click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar, the AEBS network is clearly visible and clicking on it immediately connects you to the AEBS network.
When I originally set up the network in January, everything worked just fine. After the upgrade to AE Firmware 5.7 and various OS X 10.4.5 updates, everything has gone downhill. I had the dropped signal problem that so many have reported. I downgraded to AE Firmware 5.5.1 and followed J. Exby's procedure to upgrade the AEBS framework. That solved the dropped signal problem. But now my iBooks cannot find the AEBS network when they log in.
I have set the AirPort Network Preferences to connect Automatically or to Preferred Networks with the same result. I have also set the option to "Keep looking for recent networks" and it never finds our AEBS network. Yet, the network can be accessed manually through the AirPort icon.
BTW, I use one of the iBooks myself and it works perfectly and finds my preferred network in 2 other locations with non-AEBS networks. But it cannot see its own preferred network in school.
This is really bugging my students--and me! Any suggestions? THANKS!

My macbook does not recognize my hard drive

I bought a new hard drive and have gotten a new OS disk but now it shows the folder and blinking question mark every time i turn it on.
What do i need to do next.?

If you insert the OS disk (is it one for this model MacBook or a generic retail OS install disk, or something else?) and boot the computer while holding the C key down on your keyboard, will it boot to the install disk?
If this happens, go into the Utilities and look for Disk Utility. Does DU recognize the new hard drive? What format is the hard drive initialized to?
If not initialized using Mac OS Extended - Journaled format, you should go to the Erase tab and set it to that format and erase the drive. This will correct the format.
Once this has been done, quit Disk Utility and try to run the installer.
Let us know what happens, we'll keep helping you.
Best of luck.

My macbook does not recognize my external hard drive

I have a brand new external drive which I have already formatted in FAT32 and previously used in my MBP with no issues at all. From a couple of days ago though it simply ceased to appear on my Desktop, Finder or Disk Utility. It is, however, recognized in the System Profiler or System Configuration when I click on the USB port tab. No physical damaged has been applied to the HD, and the light turns on normally, making a perfectly normal noise. As I said, it used to run just fine on my MBP, and even on other Mac computers and PC's.
I took it to a store with Apple technical support, they plugged it into one of the store's Macbooks and, surprise surprise, it magically appeared and worked perfectly. They even tried it on a Windows PC and ran just fine. Came back home, turned my computer on, connected it and the problem persists....
Any ideas?... Can you help me?
My specs are:
15'' Macbook Pro 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2,4 GHz processor and 8GB of RAM
Mac OS X 10.6.8 fully updated
Western Digital Hard Drive - WE Elements SE Portable WDBPCK0010BBK-01

Did you get a solution for this issue ? I have the same HD which works fine on two other Mac Book pros (Snow leopard and mountain Lion) but does not work on a brand new mac book pro with Mavericks

ITunes library saved on external hard drive. iTunes on new computer does not recognize.

Hi, My entire iTunes library (roughly 100gb for iPod Classic) has been saved to an external hard drive. I just built a new computer (Windows 7), and loaded the latest version of iTunes. I have changed the library location in Preferences on both the General tab and the Advanced tab to reflect the location on the external hard drive. The new library location has been saved, but the music on the external hard drive still does not show up in my iTunes library. The only things that show up in my iTunes library are only a few items that have apparently been saved to iCloud (although I never set up an iCloud account - nor do I want one). How do I get iTunes to recognize the external hard drive library instead of the other? Thank you.

Thanks. Realized something though...on the old computer, Windows XP had a problem (R6034) that prevented iTunes from opening or upgrading.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

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,
Tony

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.

Macbook does not recognize external monitor

Hi,
I have a Macbook and I tried to connect an external Benq FP93GW using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter but the external monitor does not detect any signal.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for any help.

You might read this post of someone who couldn't get his external display to be recognized until he reset the MacBook's SMC (System Management Controller).
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9351216#9351216
This thread also has some other details on trying to workaround color issues on the external display but it was a reset of the SMC that finally allowed the MacBook to recognize the display. However, Apple cautions that a reset of the SMC should only be done after other options or possibilities have been exhausted. Before you try a reset of the SMC you might want to try a reset of the MacBook's PRAM.
Here is a link to Apple's support article on resetting the SMC:

My New MacBook does not charge the battery at all

Initially, it stayed at 65% with the exteranl power connected all the time. Then it stayed at 0% after I used it without external power. Now it definitly does not start if no external power attached, and sometimes does not start even with exteranl power attached - I can only get it started by taking out the battery, putting it back and plugging in the exteranl power. And the cutomer service ***** - I am retuning it for sure, wasted too much of my time.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, I did want to exchange it initially, but the process of getting Apple to admoit there is something wrong with this BRAND NEW system was too painful for me. I never had a similar experience before. Yesterday, after spending almst half day on the phone, I finally got a technitian to admit that the bettery was bad, but the customer return department already closed. (I called both of them a number of times and experienced serveral transfering back and forth, and cutting off). What really pi**ed me off completely is that this morning when I called the custermer return again, the guy STILL transfered me to the tech support WITHOUT listening to me and WITHOUT my permission. Maybe the Apple product IS really that great and worth being abused and treated badly for, but I have never had such a bad experience in my life before, and I do not want to spend a premium price for a system comes brocken and needs half a month to get it "repaired", not mentioning wasting my warrenty on it. So I am going to stay away from Apple's product till they really know how to treat their customers. Before then, I will just return everything they sent me and let my credit company, American Express, a company really stands behand their customers, to deal with them and get my money back.
Ironically, I am the lead quality and reliability engineer who qulified the Intel GMCH for Apple...
