No Bluetooth Adapter in the Device Manager (Windows 7)

I have a problem: theres no Bluetooth adapter in the device manager. On Mac the Bluetooth adapter works flawless.
A while back, my Bluetooth worked on windows. I used it to transfer files from my old phone to my macbook.
I tried to install the driver via the old Hardware wizard:
1. Starting C:/Windows/System32/hdwwiz.exe
2. "Install the hardware that I &manually select from a list (Advanced)"
3. "Show All Devices" - Next
4. Wait a second for windows to load all the drivers
5. Under Manufacturer, select "Apple Inc." and under Model, "Apple Bluetooth Driver"
6. Message showing up:
"The software for this device is now installed, but may not work correctly.
This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Now the Apple Bluetooth Adapter shows up in the device manager under "System devices" but with the status: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
After that, I also tried to restart. Nothing changed.
I also tried to install the Bluetooth Driver from the OSX Windows driver disk. Installed without problems but didn't solve the problem.
Windows 7 64bit - up to date
Bootcamp 3.3
Macbook bought 2009
Model Nr. A1181
with Snow Leopard
Really looking forward for a solution on this problem.

ITunes gets unresponsive when I click on Podcast tab in the device management window.

Hello,
I run the iTunes 11.1 on MacOX 10.8.5.
iTunes gets unresponsive each time I click on Podcast tab in the device management window. (when my iPhone5 is connected, running iOS7)
There was no bug before I upgrade iTunes and iOS.
Is this a know bug?
What Can I do?
Will this be fixed in a next update?
There is another bug, which may be related to the first one:
before, in the podcast tab of my iphone management window, I chose to sync a smart playlist. Before the upgrade, the sync worked fine.
But now, the sync seems OK on iTunes (the playlist is well displaied in my iPhone section), but I need to shutdown/restart my iPhone to get it updated on it. Othewise, I still see its content as it was before the sync.
Please notice that this playlist contains only podcasts.
Thanks a lot for any help.

What are thes e in the device manager windows 7

Just downloaded and installed Windows 7 on my Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 but under the device manager Im missing some drivers for some items. How can i tell which is missing ?
the Beta Windows support page dosent show anythign for My Y530
Below is a picture. there under OTHER devices..

This is a user to user forum. Although Lenovo employees do fly by from time to time, this is not a monitored support channel. And you're running pre-release software.
Tell us some more about your Bluetooth driver problem. What happens when you switch Bluetooth on?
I don't have a Y530, but I do have two ThinkPads running Win 7. No special drivers were required - when I switched Bluetooth on, the drivers were automatically installed.

HP Pavilion Slimline s5310y
can anyone help me?

Hi robiroe,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I see that your wireless adator on your computer is not visible in the device manager, and I would be happy to assist you!
To begin, I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless adaptor's driver software. To do this, please follow this document on Uninstalling Software (Windows 7). The next step will be to re-install the driver by downloading the Original NVIDIA Networking Controller Driver. If the issue persists, I recommend following this document on Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7). This should help determine if there is a hardware issue.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Can´t see my Networks adapters in the Device manager!

Help!

(and no internet/WIFI connection is not working any more)
I´ve tried to install the latest Wireless Driver from lenovos homepage but it there is still problems. The laptop still can´t find any network adapter and the wifi connection doesn´t work, as it did last week!
Any one who has the same exeperience/or knew how to deal with these kind of issues?
/Rasmus

hi Rasmus,
Can you try these steps:
1. Check if you have a Network Controller entry in the Device Manager and follow this guide to get the hardware ID and on how identify the device.
2. If there's no Network Controller entry in the Device Manager, then it's possible that the Wi-Fi card might have been disabled.
Things to try:
- Boot into the BIOS either by pressing Fn+F2 on boot-up, the OneKey Recovery button, or via the UEFI Firmare Settings.
- In the BIOS, navigate to the Configuration tab and disable the Wireless setting hit Fn+F10 to Save and Exit then shut off the machine.
- Boot back into the BIOS and enable the Wireless setting then hit Fn+F10 to Save and Exit and observe if you can now detect wireless networks.
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

There is no bluetooth device in the device manager on my pavilion dv7 - 4065ei, does it exist?

I have a HP Pavilion dv7-4065ei on x64 Windows and I have never used the bluetooth device that is supposed to part of this laptop. I just know the specs from HP website say there is a BT device but I dont see it. I bought my laptop second hand so I dont know the original state.
I downloaded BT drivers on the official HP website (broadcom 2070) but I recieve an error during installation that sort of says there isn't any BT device on my laptop. There is no indication of any bluetooth device on this laptop even in the Device Manager.
I know there something I'm missing.
Any help please?

Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion, which is the full featured version of AirPort Utility for Lion. This version was released at the same time as AirPort Utillity 6.0.....perhaps you missed this.
If you still don't see a NAT tab...that would indicate that the AIrPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode (NAT is turned off...so there is nothing to adjust) and that NAT is being handled by another device on your network.

My HP ENVY dv4 windows 8 camera is not working and it cannot be found on the device manager.

I am using a HP Envy dv4 on Windows 8 and trying to use the 'Cyberlink Youcam ' Webcam which is not working. When I went to find it in the device manager, it was not present. I have restarted my computer already.

Thanks

Hi there @Eliyana
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that your Webcam is not working and does not appear within device manager. I am happy to assist.
This document is pretty much a catchall of webcam related issues. There is a section specifically for the device not appearing in device manager. Check it out, unfortunately if it does not resolve with that then it is likely either a loose connection or fault in the device.
Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 8)
Hopefully that will work for you. If it does require service, then you can try contacting phone support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Bluetooth not working and not appearing in the devices manager

My bluetooth suddenly is not working anymore and i can't see it in the device manager.
I tried to reinstall the drivers but the problem persist. I have one strange USB problem happening too at the device manager, and it just appeared after the bluetooth problem. How can I solve it? One image of the problem is attached!

Try to update the IRST driver, and see if it helps the problem.

Microphone doesn't appear in the Device Manager in Windows 7

I'm using Windows 7 64 Bit OS on my MacBook Pro, clean installation, not based on Bootcamp, no MAC OS installed (required by our company otherwise I can't access corp network). Now my problem is that the speakers are working properly, but I can't use the internal microphone as it doesn't show up in the device manager. Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB28) latest driver is installed. External headset with microphone works fine. Any help welcome, thanks in advance.

I disabled my microphone in Bootcamp Win7 Ultimate 64B and now it is completly gone. I used the Windows support CD I made and re-installed the 64B Cirrius drivers but the microphone is no where to be found also missing in device manager as well as Control Panel Audio.

G470 Bluetooth not listed under Device Manager and not working

Hi,
Can someone teach me how to solve my G470 problem?
Its Bluetooth is not listed under Device Manager and I can't find it anywhere.
Before that, it isn't working at all.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi athirah11,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try the following:
1. Press the Windows key‌ +R, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter. On the Device Manager, click View > Show hidden devices and check if the Bluetooth device is being listed.
- Link to picture
- Link to picture
2. If the bluetooth device shows up under the Device Manager, do the following:
a. Under Control Panel > Programs, uninstall the Bluetooth driver/software (reboot if necessary)
b. Run the Bluetooth Driver Installer
- this will identify the type of Bluetooth Device installed on the system (eg. Qualcom Atheros, Intel, etc.) and it will install a generic Bluetooth driver. If successful, the Bluetooth device and its components should now appear normally under the Device Manager.
If the bluetooth device still doesn't show up, can you provide the model number of your G470 (eg. 59xxxxxx) fur further checking.
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

Bluetooth driver uninstalled from device manager

This has been highly frustrating but here goes, I recently bought a small bluetooth dongle from ebay that came with no drivers as it is labeled as plug and play, when I plugged it into my laptop it found it straight away but installed it as a bluetooth radio, i was advised by a friend to uninstall the bluetooth radio driver from device manager and download bluesoleil which is what i did. now blue soleil does not recognise the device and the laptop tells me Usb Device Not Recognized, i have searched and searched for fixes but nothing has helped, could anyone advise or provide me with the correct software, this is not a branded device either so device specific software is unavailable.
Please help, p.s im using windows xp sp3.
Thanks

Just download the latest Bluetooth stack for your operating system. Extract the it and execute the exe file. Follow the instructions.
You can transfer your files easily by using the file exporer when the bluetooth software is installed again.
Just right-click on the file which should be sent and select "to Bluetooth" from the context menu ...
or
Right click on the bluetooth icon in the system tray can select Bluetooth Information Exchanger. Discover the bluetooth devices by using the Bluetooth menu and use e.g. the OPP folder to drag and drop the file to you mobile phone. You can also use ftp if you mobile phone supports it. You can transfer
serveral files at once with it.
or
just use the synchronisation software if your mobile phone offers one.

NO Audio output Device is installed as well as NO sound, video, or game tab in the device manager

Here is the issue I had with with my Compaq F700 series laptop. The sound was working one day and then not working the next. Over the volume icon there was a big red X and the warning that No Audio output Device is installed. I also found that there no longer was the sound, video, game tab in the device manager. It had gone missing.
I couldn't use most of the fixes as they require having the sound, video, game tab available and this tab was, as I said missing. I tried reinstalling the sound drivers from the manufacturer’s website as well as using the driver re-install, but at each attempt it would fail as a result of not having any audio devices installed on the computer.
I tried doing the system restore and rolling it back but the problem didn't get resolved. What eventually worked was restoring the system to a MUCH earlier date, like a month prior to the problem. When the restore finished the sound was still not fixed. HOWEVER, the computer OS (WINDOWS 7) needed to re-install a bunch of updates and after the updates were installed, everything was working. I suspect that the original issue was a bad update (the updates didn't install correctly) and that by rolling the system back to a time prior to the bad updates and then re-installing the update was the fix.
With that said, if the restore option doesn’t work or can’t be done I would try looking through the add/remove programs in the control panel and uninstall the most recent system updates, then restart computer and let the updates re-install.
Good Luck

Only option that I see in the BIOS is under Security. Audio Device: Hidden or Available. It was set to available and I left it at that. Still no audio.
Really? Nothing? This computer is one year old. Absolutely no reason for this to be happening. What a joke.

I have an IPod Nono 2 Gen when connected to Itunes it shows up but when i try to open it it just disapperas from screen and I have to reconnect ipod to get it back. Also I cannot find my Ipod in the Device Manager on my PC, Can anyone help please

My IPOD Nono 2nd Gen showes up in ITunes but when I clike on it it just disapears and the only way to get IPOD Icon back is to disconnect it from PC then reconnect it when agin the icon apperas but when selected just disapears. Also I cannot Find the IPOD in the device Manager on PC not sure if this is cause of problem. The IPOD worked OK up to 4 weeks ago Can any one help please?

Try one or more of the following:
> Restart Your Computer
> Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iPod (nothing will get deleted)
> Look in My Computer (Windows 98, XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if your iPod is in there.
In some cases (and this happened to me before) plug your iPod in and out your computer a few times. It should get it going. If not, then I strongly recommend starting your computer.
