NWZ-A17 bluetooth not connectiong to anything??

Hi There.I can't connect my NWZ-A17 to any bluetooth device? I have a soundbar, a tablet a television and anxperia phone, none of which were even found by the device. so i used the NFC function with my xperia Z1 phone and it registered a connection but quickly said that the devices were not compatable.is there a problem that i am missing or is it just absolutely useless at any bluetooth function? i bought it because of the great reviews about the sound quality which i understand can ony be heard through a wired connection but i also wanted it because i could wirelessly connect to my soundbar for ease as well. My 3rd generation Ipod touch does this with ease and its 7 years old! Any help will be greatly appreciated.ThanksRod

  • Bluetooth not connecting to anything to include MAC

    New car no conectivity, 2011 ACURA MDX running the same Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR tech. Tried to connect to an actual MAC at a MAC store, same thing as they could not get it to connect. Cannot connect to a WINDOWS PC running Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR tech and last but not least, was told by ATT Friday OCT 29 that APPLE will not let me use bluetooth except for a specific ear piece that they could not get to connect at the store. Called Apple support, said they world call back because they wanted to reset phone and trouble shoot, no call back even after I called back again......... So is it the phone, ACURA says yes, the MAC store said that it is the phone and Windows said the same thing. So is there a fix? If not, may have to go with waht everyone else has recomended another phone....

    Alan
    Thanks for the link been there no help since the phone should connect but doesn't. So te only indicator is that the phone is bad but based on the other discussions, more than myself are having issues with bluetooth connectivity issues and we are looking for support which we are not getting from Apple or ATT

  • Bluetooth not available MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) Yosemite

    Hi guys, I've been having a problem lately and I can't find a fix for it. My problem is my bluetooth button on the top menu bar had a black squiggly line through it then when I click on it, it says "Bluetooth: Not Available". When I go to system preferences the tab for bluetooth isn't even there its just gone all there is is network. I am trying to connect my magic mouse which has worked fine until now, I had this problem in Mavericks and upgraded to Yosemite to see if that would fix it, Also please note I have tried Resetting PRAM, Deleting the bluetooth files, and Force-quitting "blued" which didn't do anything.

    Well then, unfortunately for you, the conclusion becomes clear: your BlueTooth isn't working correctly anymore.
    You can try reinstalling OS X from the Recovery Partition - boot your computer with the [cmd] + [r] keys pressed until you see a Utilities window - but since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite pretty much amounts to a reinstall anyway I am not giving it much of a chance at success. Still, won't hurt though. Contact AppleCare for warranty options.

  • "Bluetooth: Not Available" problem created by software update; need help please?

    I ran a regular software update as prompted by my iMac to get to 10.6.8, and now have "Bluetooth: Not Available" with squiggly line thru it.  I've tried an SMC, updated software to 10.8.4...no availability of my Bluetooth to work the magic mouse, or any ability to access Bluetooth in System Preferences...help please?

    You say you have "tried an SMC."  Reset the SMC nd PRAM again.
    Barry
    P.S.  It is unlikely that the update had anything to do with the missing Bluetooth.

  • Magic Mouse, Trackpad, Bluetooth not working after Mountain Lion install

    Is anyone else having the same issue after installing ML? I first noticed that my Magic Mouse didn't scroll as usual when I opened Safari.  When I went to preferences, it only gave me tracking & double-click speed options- no scrolling options.  I check the Accessibility preferences, but that didn't seem to help either.  When I tried my Trackpad to check the preferences, it said that one wasn't connected, even though that's exactly what I used to open it in the first place.  Now when I look at the top right hand corner for Bluetooth connectivity- it says Bluetooth- not available in a grayed out font. When I check out the About My Mac and check the Hardware->Bluetooth section it says 'No information found'.
    I've tried the SMC/PRAM reset, unclicked "Disable automatic login" option in Security & Privacy preference page.  Shut down my iMac and turned off the keyboard, mouce, and trackpad and restarted them after restarting the iMac.
    Now I can seem to find anything else to try.
    Does anyone have anything else to try?

    Hi There,
    I am having the same issues - is there a fix for it yet?

  • Firefox will not connect to anything past my Yahoo homepage

    I am using Firefox 4.0 beta. Last night I began having problems with the browser not connecting with anything, including the Mozilla server. I finally gave up and went to bed. This morning the same problem continued, so I used Internet Explorer 8 to connect to the internet (worked fine), and came to this site to report my problem. I have checked my router (brand new) and internet connections and they are all ok. I am using Windows 7 on a Dell Studio 17 laptop. I have recently downloaded Network Magic from Linksys, but have not installed it yet.

  • IPad Bluetooth Not connecting to MB

    I can't connect my iPad to my MB via bluetooth. The MB finds the iPad and displays the code onscreen and the iPad also displays the correct code on screen. After I click accept it attempts to pair the devices then 'Could not pair with MacBook Pro'
    The iPad isn't displaying any of my bluetooth phones computer or keyboard and they are all apple products.
    I did a complete restore and it is still doing the same thing.
    Help....

    You can use iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard for wireless typing, or Bluetooth headphones for wireless listening. That's all. No bluetooth file transfers or anything else.
    See page 22 of the iPad User Guide.

    My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes. iPod seems disabled and not responding to anything. Permanently on "do not disconnect". Not sure what to do.

    Hello,
    My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes or internet
    explorer. It used to, but not anymore. It just
    dosent show up when I connect it to my computer.
    Also, the "do no disconnect" sign does not appear on
    my iPod when I connect it. It is still able to
    recharge, though.
    have u tried a different usb port?
    I read that I have to restore it. I have tons of
    songs in my iPod that I do NOT want erased! How can
    I back these songs up? I have some songs on my iPod
    that are from another person's computer, so if they
    get erased, the songs are gone forever.

    Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

    It's not jailbroke or anything but it says the terms and conditions have changed. When I agree, it says your session has times out. Try again. But it doesn't give me an option to try again and has a done button underneath it. I press done. The textplus app says "Waiting..." and is gray. What can I do to download this app?

    iTunes has to contact Apple to send your agreement to the new conditions, but your security software has to allow this contact. If blocked, you'll get a time out message.

  • How on earth could I be connecting to the Internet through my airport express when it is not connected to anything?

    I'm not entirely displeased with the situation but I cannot see how I could be connecting to the Internet through my airport express when the Airport is not connected to anything.
    Weird huh?
    I have a separate non- Airport wireless network connected to the Internet.  I had previously set-up the Airport to link with this network but disconnected it (by resetting it) as music streaming was unlistenable due to frequent drop out.  I now just have the Airport Express as a standalone wireless network only connecting to the stereo to stream music from devices.
    My devices are only connected to the Airport network with cellular data off. Yet I can still connect to the Internet AND listen to streaming music (without drop-out no less).
    I don't want to fix it but I would like to know how the frag it could happen so i don't screw it up accidentally.

    I would say you still have something of the previous setup.
    To be sure you don't mess up, save the configuration.. go to the top menu area of the airport utility and export configuration.. which will land on your computer.
    Now you can recover at anytime to the current setup.
    How it works.. that is magical ..
    Open the airport utility.. edit.. and take a screenshot and post it of the following pages..

    THen we can tell you how it is working.

  • IMac takes 4 minutes to boot up, bluetooth not available

    Hello, this is my first post on Apple Discussions!
    The day before yesterday we had quite a vicious storm here and lost power for about a minute. My Mac was switched on when the power cut out, but I was downstairs, having some lunch. Unfortunately, I have no surge protection on my power bar / extension cord thing (I know...). I immediately unplugged it, only turning it back on after the storm had calmed down.
    Thinking nothing of it, I powered on my Mac and left it unattended for about 10 minutes (so I don't know how long it took to boot up!). When I came back, I was greeted by the login screen and proceeded as usual. However, the next time I powered on my computer, I could not get past the white screen after the chime (no Apple logo). Now, this has happened to me before, so I waited a couple of minutes. Nothing. I decided to power it down (holding down the power button) and try rebooting it, this time holding down the option key (to bring up the partitions), as this has helped me in the past. White screen for a couple of minutes. Impatient and annoyed, I powered it down again. Rebooted holding down the shift key, for Safe Mode. Nothing again. This time I left it on the white screen while I looked for an old USB keyboard, thinking my wireless keyboard might not have been pairing. Little did I know I would have to use this sh***y keyboard from this point forward.
    So, I got my keyboard (remember I had left my Mac on the white screen) and when I returned I was pleasantly surprised to see the login screen. I noticed, however, that I could not use my wireless keyboard (I have a wired Razer mouse). So I plugged in the old PC keyboard I found, and logged in. Which is when I noticed the Bluetooth icon was strange; it was greyed out and had a jagged line through it, and when I clicked on it, said "Bluetooth: Not Available".
    I restarted my Mac, just to see if the issues would be fixed. Nope. It took about four minutes to start up, and no Bluetooth. I checked the System Preferences and it says there is "No Bluetooth Hardware Found". "No information found" in System Information either.
    The problem is that during the white screen on bootup (I always hear the chime btw), I have no control. I cannot enter Safe Mode, see the partitions, reset the NVRAM or PRAM. I just have to wait until I see the Apple logo after about four minutes. After login, everything (bar Bluetooth) seems fine. I have verified disk, and it says it's fine. Verified and repaired permissions as well. I looked and noticed that I have no com.apple.bluetooth.plist file in my library.
    I don't know what to do from here! My extended Apple Care has expired Should I install Mavericks? Could that fix my problems? Or should I clean install ML, and then install Mavericks? But if the storm did do some damage, the issue is probably hardware... Please help me.
    Thanks, and sorry for the length
    PS. I have been having a little trouble with my finder since a while now (months). Sometimes, when I open a folder the CPU will shoot up to 100% and the Mac would freeze for a couple of seconds. Then it would be normal again. I have used up about 1.5 TB (including a Bootcamp partition) from my 2TB HDD. I doubt this is related, but I though I'd throw it in anyway. Again, I apologise for the length.

    Installing a new OS X over a problematic one will get you a new problematic OS X.
    I suggest you run repair disk first.  Then I would reset the SMC.
    I "think" that some of your problems stem from the power problem you described.  No surge protector is akin to (fill in the negative outcome blank).  The lecture ends here.
    IMHO, you have some hardware problem(s).  I suggest you take the computer to an Apple store for diagnosis.  Be sure to bring your documentation of the things above along.
