New OS to Fix Bluetooth Connectivity?

Is there a new OS that will fix the Bluetooth Connectivity issue?

There is no "bluetooth connectivity issue". Get out the manual for your car. If it was previously paired, delete the pairing from both the car and the phone and re-boot both. Then, re-pair them.
Try pairing the phone with another hands free device. If that works, and you still can't pair it with the car, go see your dealer.

How do I fix bluetooth connection between mouse and keyboard with iMac. iPhone won't connect to bluetooth either

Bluetooth on Mac os x won't work with keyboard, mouse or iphone. Keyboard and mouse both have new batteries and go discoverable when switched on, i have gone into system setup and tried connecting. It connects briefly with mouse then drops in and out of connection, keyboard does same, asking for passcode then no connection. I'm lost... my phone can pick up keyboard, so i think it is bluetooth in mac.

Go to ~/LIbrary/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
Try re "pairing" the keyboard.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

New 27" iMac: AIRPORT & BlueTooth Connection Problems

Hi There,
My 24" Intel Imac (C2D) has been replaced with new 27" iMac.
The problems mentioned below did not exist on the 24", However, I have real wireless
connection problems with the new 27";
1. AIRPORT: 27" iMac will not create Network (Computer to Computer) therefore I am unable to connect my iPhone 3G to its WiFi Network (some iPhone Apps - require WiFi)
2. BLUETOOTH: Although the 27" Imac is paired with my iPhone 3G - it will not connect iPhone to
Bluetooth..... BT options for both iPhone and iMac are ON and set as Discoverable.
(Note: Apple Wireless Keyboard & Apple Magic Mouse are both connected)
It seems as though Apple have changed procedure for actioning the above on these new 27" iMacs,
however they have not documented what is required to make it happen..... OR its a bug in 10.6.2 ??
If anyone has similar problems or knows of a workaround - all comments and advice would be much appreciated.
NB: This 27"iMac has no problems joining with an Airport Network (Airport Extreme Module) which then allows the iPhone 3G to also connect to that (for WiFi) But, that would seem to be an awkward and unnecessary proceedure ??
I'm baffled - there seems to be something missing (in OS Software or Procedure)

Sound like some strange issues.
1. AIRPORT: 27" iMac will not create Network (Computer to Computer) therefore I am unable to connect my iPhone 3G to its WiFi Network (some iPhone Apps - require WiFi)
So you don't have a wireless network that you normally use?
2. BLUETOOTH: Although the 27" Imac is paired with my iPhone 3G - it will not connect iPhone to
Bluetooth..... BT options for both iPhone and iMac are ON and set as Discoverable.
(Note: Apple Wireless Keyboard & Apple Magic Mouse are both connected
Are you saying that the iMac is using Bluetooth to connect to the keyboard and mouse but can't connect via Bluetooth to the iPhone?

Nokia OVI keeps bluetooth connection active

Hi. I recently switched from PC suite to the new OVI suite. This new application keeps the bluetooth connection to the phone active from the moment that you connect to the phone. With PC suite there was only a connection active during communciation. The result is that OVI is communicating with my phone continuously, thus consuming a lot of battery power constantly. I have switched off all automatic sync options. Does anyone know how to stop this continuous bluetooth connection? Thanks in advance. With kind regards, Ron. Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0.2.42 PC Connectivity Solution 9.45.0.0 Connectivity Cable Driver 7.1.23.0 Nokia Ovi Suite Software Updater 2009.40.0.60128 Maps Service API 3.0.38.0 Nokia mPlatform 2.6.40 Ovi Desktop Sync Engine 1.1.0.77 Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP 32-bit Edition, Service Pack 3 Language: English Detected internet browsers: - Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 Detected Bluetooth stacks: - Microsoft (Version: 5.1.2600, Build: 5512) - IVT BlueSoleil (Version: 2.7.0, Build: 8)

Being a lazy user of Nokia PC Suite (let others go to the Bleeding Edge, don't try and do difficult functions, use it only for basic phone security, ...), I was happily bumbling along, backing up my Contacts, Calendar etc., without a care in the world. Then along comes a 'new and better' version of PC Suite and without much thought I install it and trash the previous version install files. And guess what? The ***bleep*** new version fails to do backup of the Contacts file (just hangs forever). Any bug-fixing or other quick correction for PC Suite now looks unlikely, especially given comments here about Ovi becoming the only Nokia-supported option (even if actually support is patchy or non-existent).
So, looking for pain-free (or at least pain-reduced) alternatives, I investigate Ovi. And one of the first comments I see says that it's a reduced-function form of PC Suite! And PC Suite doesn't work properly anyway!!
And oh look! Ovi may not actually support my phone (6600 Slide) and according to this thread is misuses Bluetooth to the point of draining the phone battery even if no useful activity is in progress. Give me strength!!! Why release ANOTHER pile of , when judging by the LONG list of problems here, there has been no success making its predecessor work properly?

I have installed the new iOS 5 on my Iphone 3GS and my bluetooth connection for my Philips bluetooth headset doesn't work anymore. Does anybody have a solution?
I have checked the headset on another Iphone with iOS 4 and it works well.
Thanks for your help!

Bonjour Pierre,
there seems to be a bug in iOS5 with regards to Bluetooth. THere are a lot of threads in here on this. We're all waiting for Apple to fix this...

Possible fix for car unit Bluetooth connectivity problems (it fixed mine)

Ok, I understand this only fixed my particular problem, so it may not work with every Bluetooth head unit.
I have a Pioneer deh-p7000bt and it worked beautifully with my iPhone 3GS.
Once I got my iPhone 4 I restored it from a backup of my 3GS. I had continual problems. I synced it and it would disconnect within minutes. This would happen everyday so I just gave up.
Yesterday I was playing around with my head unit. I DELETED any previously synced phones from my head unit. I also told my iPhone to forget my head unit. After deleting any traces of my older iPhone and new iPhone, I resynced my iPhone 4.
This time it stayed connected and reconnected automatically even after rebooting and restarting my car. Problem solved.
It may have something to do with the head unit being confused about the iPhone hardware.... Possibly from restoring it from a backup of the previous phone you had already synced to the unit.
Try this, it worked for me. Maybe it won't work for you.
Thanks,
John

I too have had problems with Bluetooth connectivity, with my wife's IPhone 5C, since updating to IOS 8 and now 8.02. I have a 2013 Honda Accord with factory updated firmware. Everything worked flawlessly before the IPhone update, but now the phone will connect to the car but I get error messages saying the contact list cannot be imported. I deleted everything, started over, still does not work. I also have a Motorola Moto X with the latest Android build and Bluetooth connects automatically, works flawlessly and the contact list always imports when I enter the car, so it is definitely not a problem with the car's system. I thought Apple products were superior to all else... I will be switching my wife to an Android phone if Apple continues to ignore the problem. She needs this to work for safety reasons, since she works out of the car.

We just added a new printer and bluetooth connection to our iMac. Now iTunes does not recognize our iPads as devices. Have already tried restarting everything. Any other suggestions?

New iMac and Bluetooth connection to mobile phone

Hi,
I have a brand new iMac 21.5", 3.33 GHz here and I use a Motorola KRZR K1 mobile phone and the emitSMS widget, to send SMS messages.
But this widget can't detect the Bluetooth connection to the mobile phone.
I delete the bluetooth preferences, but this does't help.
On my MacBook with MacOS X 10.6.2 is no problem.

HT6572 Bluetooth connectivity fixed in 10.10.1?

Wondering if Bluetooth connectivity and performance is fixed in OS X Yosemite 10.10.1? I still have issues before updating that include my apple keyboard + magic Trackpad randomly disconnecting, input lag, and disappearing profiles in the bluetooth preference pane.
My machine is a late 2012 Macbook Pro Retina 15". I use it in clamshell mode connected to an external display via a thunderbolt to HDMI adapter.
I occasionally run the machine open in this configuration, with the power cable detached in order to power cycle the battery, as I've heard it is bad to leave the power cable always connected. The Bluetooth issues are more prevalent when operating on battery power for the macbook pro.

I'm having issues now after the update with my Magic mouse that I never experienced before. It seems if now when I put my laptop to sleep (ex. close lid or just timeout) when I re-open or start my laptop I have no connection to the paired mouse. The little green light on the bottom of the mouse blinks twice real fast.
Now the only way I can restore mouse function is to remove it from the bluetooth profile, wait til it sees it when searching and re-pair the mouse.
This is very annoying and frustrating as sometimes it will not find the mouse when searching for bluetooth devices until I restart my computer. I really hope they fix this soon as it occurs everyday now.

Motorola RAZR v3i - Bluetooth connection fixed in 10.4.7 ???

I bought a Motorola v3i (firmware version R479G08.B4.34R) some weeks ago. I was not able to create a connection via bluetooth with my Powerbook (Mac OS X 10.4.6). After some days I gave the v3i back to the dealer, because it was useless for me. Does someone know if the bluetooth connection is fixed in Mac OS X 10.4.7 ??? Please let me know your v3i firmware version in your answer. Thanks!

I have a V3i with the exact same firmware, and prior to the 10.4.7 update could only pair my phone via bluetooth but not use any services. Since the update I can sync, file transfer and connect to the internet all via bluetooth. Seems someone has sorted something out somewhere. Hope this helps.

My new apple tv can't find its bluetooth connection, just keeps searching

My new Apple tv can't find its bluetooth connection, just keeps searching,

Seeing as MobileMe is being discontinued with no information from Apple as to whether or not galleries will be retained, there may be little point investing time in creating new ones from now on.
Photostream alone will not cut the mustard.

Can't download new program without bluetooth connection but I'm on dsl

Everytime I try to open up a new program in my applications folder my mac tries to connect to bluetooth but I'm on dsl and I can't figure out how to connect to the internet with the options it's giving me. I've gone into my preferences and made sure that my connections are ok so what am I missing??? Somebody please help.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

It sounds like your programs are looking for info on the internet.. could be just looking for/checking for updates.. nothing wrong with that.
You say your on DSL, but when this happens are you connected to the network? If you are, I can't think of a reason why you would be prompted for a Bluetooth connection.
And the other posted is correct.. if you move your Ethernet/Dsl connection to the top of the list it should prompt you to do something with your DSL connection.

Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.
