Problems with Bluetooth Status and Startup Times.

For the past little while my MacBook Pro has had slow startup times and the Bluetooth status icon in the Finder does not appear when I first start up the machine.
The Bluetooth status problem has only started in the last week or so. In order for me to get it to display again I have to open up System Preferences, go to Bluetooth, uncheck "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" and then recheck it again and it will appear. Occasionally, it will show up on startup but to the right side of the clock when it normally appears far off on the left side.
As for startup times, this has been only recent as well. I upgraded to 2 Gb of RAM a few months back and everything was fine, now within the past few weeks it has been starting up much slower than it would.
These may not be issues that can be solved. I am debating whether or not I want to re-install Mac OS X or tough it out until Leopard comes along.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Aaron

Initially I thouhgt this problem with playback of music had something to do with bluetooth but I'm not so sure anymore.
The problems with music apps stop working correctly after connecting or disconnecting a bluetooth headset led me to beleive that it was a purely blutooth related problem. Now I think that this might have something to do with an incorrectly configured audio device.
The various symptoms so far that can be replicated
Frequent drop outs (short breaks of silence) in playback of music when using a blutooth headset, at least once per musical track
Frequent short moments of stuttering in music playback when not using a bluetooth headset
Drop outs/stuttering is more frequent when display is turned off
Music player freeze if bluetooth is turned on during playback, tapping play/pause doesn't work
Music player freeze if playback is turned off during playback, tapping play/pause doesn't work
If you use the playback buttons on the bluetooth headset immediately after connecting the bluetooth headset during playback with the standard music player you will get a message on the x10 display giving you the option to "force a shutdown" of the player
Ringsignals are stuttering and double speed when using a bluetooth headset
Sounds recorded at a sample rate of 11 kHz on the x10 (for instance using an app like fourtracks) will playback at double speed

Is there a problem with the itunes and quick time download pages or is it my internet.

Is there a problem with the itunes and quicktime download pages or is it just my internet.

Some more developments ... the issue appears to be browser-specific. I can't see the download controls at the moment in either IE 8 (I'll get your message) or Safari for Windows 5.0.5 (I'll just get the blank box). But I can see the download controls in Firefox 4 and Chrome (whatever version I have of that).
So it might be worth installing Firefox and seeing if you can get the downloads via that:

Problem with Bluetooth Keyboard and Lion?

I've just purchased a 21" imac running os x lion 10.7.3 and although the mac sees the keyboard when I set up the Keyboard from system prefs, it says 'keyboard cannot be found even though the Bluetooth prefs says it's there'.
Second, there's an on/off button on the right hand side which glows green for a second when it's pushed, and ditto if you push it again, so I don't know if the keyboard is on or off! Surely it should glow grren when ON and not when OFF or is there a problem with the keyboard itself?

Is the KB working on the system or not?

That is the way it is designed. When you turn the KB on, the light is on for a brief period of time. It does not stay on.

Problem with currency translation and variable time ref. with 0FISCPER

Hello,
We have a problem with a currency conversion with a variable time reference (as iobject we use 0fiscper)
We created a currency conversion for several key fig:
Our settings:
Exchange rate Type: EURX
dynamic ex rate determination
Source cur from datarecord
Fixed Target Curr (EUR)
Variable time ref.: End of Period
Special Infoobject: 0fiscper
When we run the DTP we get the following error:
<i>Enter rate GBP / EUR rate type EURX for 00.00.0000 in the system settings.</i>
ending the DTP in a message type X.
In table TCURR and T009/T009B all necessary information is available.
After debugging the function module, it looks like the created date (created from the FISCPER) is set to 00.00.0000. This results in the error above.
Does anybody have experience with this error and more important know how to solve it?
We also have a 0FISCYEAR available but in the TCURR table al rates are defined per end of the month. When trying to use 0FISCYEAR as InfoObject in the variable time reference, a diffrent error occurs: Enter rate GBP / EUR rate type EURX for 01.01.1001 in the system settings. While the 0FISCPER is 2001001.
Is there a bug in the function module? (couldn't find a SAP note)
We are working with BI 7.0 and SP12
Best regards
Steven

Please can you give more detail on how you were able to resolve this issue? How did you add 0fiscper to the transformation? I am on BW 3.5, how do I fix this same issue on it? Please help, this is urgent.

G580 + Win8.1 - problems with Bluetooth drivers and Dolby

Hello
When I bought my Lenovo G580, it had Win8 installed but I had to upgrade to Win8.1 (sadly). I've been having problems ever since.
When I open Lenovo Solution Center, it shows errors with these drivers:
Bluetooth Audio Device
Virtual Bluetooth Support (Include Audio)
Bluetooth LWFLT Device
Status: Deactivated
In Device Manager there's a yellow error thingy on Bluetooth Audio Device. It says something about code 10. It also says it is updated to the newest version. I checked Lenovo's website (just in case) but there's no newer driver.
Second problem is with Dolby Advanced Audio V2. I've tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it. Uninstalling Conexant Audio Driver, reinstalling, etc. Nothing works. After a few days after upgrading to Win8.1 the first time my pc went totally crazy. Nothing was working, so I had to revert back to Win8 but was forced to upgrade again. I haven't done anything after the last upgrade because I don't know what to do. Hope someone can help.

hi jonhildelia,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
For the bluetooth, can you try the following (after upgrading the machien to Win8.1):
1. Navigate to Control Panel (Icon Views) > Programs and Features and on the list of installed programs, uninstall the Bluetooth Driver.(reboot if necessary). When finished, the bluetooth device in the device manager should now look like this:
2. if everything goes well, reinstall the Windows 8 bluetooth Driver (either from the D:\drivers\bluetooth or from the G580 download page)
For the Dolby, the issue might be similar to this article and this thread.
Can you try the following:
1. Uninstall the Conexant Audio Driver and anything that relates to Dolby from the Control Panel (Icon Views) > Programs and Features
2. Re-install the Conexant Audio Driver (Win8 version) from the D:\Drivers folder or from the G580 Downloads page (this should reinstall the audio driver and Dolby).
3. In an event that the Dolby doesn't work, reinstall it from one of theseC:\drivers\audio\DolbyGUI or C:\drivers\audio\DolbyGUI
Regards

I'm having problems with bluetooth mouse and keyboard. They work for the first 10 minutes then stop communicating.

I have to turn the computer off in order to get control of the computer again. Any ideas of what the problem may be?

You can run Bluetooth diagnostics by holding down the Option key and clicking the Bluetooth icon in the status menu bar.

I have a problem with bluetooth conection between my auto (2013 Buick) And I-phone 5. I can call out but am unable to recieve incomming calls.When I attempt to answer ,Everthing disconnects and the phone call goes to mail automatically.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hello Apple? How do i fixed my problem with my ipad apps every time i open that apps it takes 10min. to play the games ant its getting LOST MODE and the ipad system is crashing

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Have you tried closing all apps via the iPad's multitasking bar and then doing a soft-reset and seeing that helps ? To close all apps :
iOS 7: double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag each app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I installed Mavericks yesterday and have now got problems with QuarkXpress 9. Every time I click on an image and try to move it the application crashes. Anyone had similar problems or got any suggestions?

Hi Guys
Updated my 2 imacs to Maverick yesterday. Schoolboy error on my part not checking if there were problems with any programmes before I did.
Quark is now a nightmare with no short term answer on the way. As a Quark user for over 20 years this is just another reason to hold your hands up and say OK Indesign you win I will have to learn how to use you and Quark will be a distant memory.
I am told there will probably be no solution to getting quak 9 running on Maverick and that you will need to update to 10 in about 2-3 weeks to get back to normal. Having spent a few bob on 2 versions of 9.5 only in Feb this year i didn't really want to upgrade yet.
So its cough up to carry on using Quark or learn Indesign.
I have lost faith in Quark as they are quick to send me e-mails asking me to upgrade to this and that version, why didn't they send one out saying do not upgrade to Maverick. Perhaps they know there loyal follwing will uograde to 10 and will generate a nice little bonus before Xmas.
Lots to do today and will now take 10 times longer to do it. Is this 2013 or 1974!!!!!
If anyone hears of a solution please post ASAP

Having problems with ipad mini and Siri. Works sporadically, will work once and then the second time not. Worked all the time with the original Mailbox app. Then started doing the same thing when I installed the new update so wondering if it is software?

Hi
I've got a similar problem. iTunes v10.2 worked fine, but when I tried to update it to 10.5 I got a 'Bonjour' error. I eventually solved that but I still couldn't upgrade to 10.5, so I deleted every single Apple, Quicktime, iTunes, etc file on my PC using Revo Unistaller (because the normal Windows Add/Delete programs wouldn't work) but now, when I install the latest iTunes version from scratch (on XP SP3), it says: "the installer encountered errors before it could be configured.... your system has not been modified"
Any ideas?

I installed Lion and now seem to have problems with Microsoft Silverlight and other plug ins and applications. I haven't ever used time machine to back up (my bad I know). Is there a way to go back to snow leopard with messing up all my files and my set?

Are you using the latest version of Silverkeeper? - v.2.0.2 is stated to be compatible with Snow Leopard.

If it's messing things up you could try asking LaCie Support for assistance.

I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup Disk for Time Machine disconnecting itself with the message that I ejected it improperly.. It ejected itself - why?

I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8 and have problems with the backup drive to Time Machine ejecting itself and so does not automatically backup the way it is meant to do. It is connected with an USB cable to my iMac. What could cause this - malfuntioning drive?

The "iLife" apps are not part of any Mac operating system install and are a separate purchase.
Once you get past 10.6.6 you can purchase and download iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie. iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued.
Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and higher include the App Store application which is what you use to purchase Lion.

I have a problem with the battery and my iPhone 4S is restarting all the time. The phone was bought in June 2012 in LA. What can I do?

Since your iPhone is still under the one year warranty contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store to get a replacement.
