Slow Bootup and Bluetooth Missing

Hi Apple Experts,
Am running 10.9.2 on a 2011 iMac and i've never had no issues until now, both these issues appeared at the same time.
My iMac has started booting very slow, it sticks between the startup Chime and the Apple Logo & Gear showing for around 2-3 Minutes.
Also my Bluetooth settings are missing from System Preferences and on the Top tool bar is states "Bluetooth: Not Available" and if I goto System Report , the Bluetooth setting says "No Information Found."
I have tried:
- Deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist etc as suggested loads on here
- Resetting SMC & Pram
- Running both AHT (No Hardware Issues found)
- Shutting down with USB's etc unplugged as Apple suggested in the Bluetooth help page
- Clean Install (This made the Bluetooth setting vanish from the Top tool Bar)
- Reinstalling the OS
- Restoring from a old Time Machine Backup
Anyone else got any more ideas?

No one have any more ideas?

Slow bootup and kernel panic on every shutdown

2.8GHz Core 2 Duo - Mid 2009
4GB Ram
10.5.8 / 10.6.8
Computer takes about 10 minutes to start up, once it is up it runs noramlly. When I go to shutdown, i get a slow window shade effect followed by a kernel panic message. This process runs like clockwork, I have not been able to shut it down without a panic in two weeks.
So far i have:
Fresh install of 10.6.8 (initially was 10.5.8)
Swapped hard drives, fresh install on 2nd hard drive
Tested RAM with MemTest86
Booted with only 1 RAM stick / booted with only the 2nd stick
Ran apple hardware diag, came back successful.
Looking in Library/Logs I do not see a panic log, only things I show are DiskUtility.log and a Sync folder.
What else can I try?

Still hunting for a solution... are these symptoms consistent with any other hardware failure? In the past when I have lost a logic board (not this macbook) the computer would not boot at all.

MDS, slow Lion and the missing memory

Hi;
Updated to Lion a week ago, and apart of a couple apps that needed to be retired (PPC), here is my dilema:
The iMac (4gb) starts to slooow down to a crawl and I cannot use more than one app at a time. Open large files in Photoshop?, forget it. I got Safari on, and iStats shows free memory just dissapearing: from 4gb to 200megs (Same for PS and iTunes). Activity confirms it,...
I'm seeing a lot of posts with the same problem, no solution.
Anybody that could help?. Thanks

Lion has sophisticated new memory management. I don't know iStat understands it. You mentioned MDS but didn't discuss it. Run Activity Monitor and see which processes are using the CPU and "Real mem".

Wifi and bluetooth hardware missing in my ipod touch could any one help me to fix it?

wifi and bluetooth hardware missing in my ipod touch could any one help me to fix it?

If the following is your problem try the troubleshooting described within:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
Frequently it is due to hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
If that is not your problem then we need more information about hur problem. How do you know the"hardware" is missing?

IMac - slow to boot, bluetooth not found.

System:
iMac 24" (Early 2009) 2.66GHz
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory (upgraded from original 4GB with 3rd party memory about 4 years ago)
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB Disk (upgraded from original 640GB about 2 years ago)
NVIDIA GeForge 9400
OS X: 10.10.1
The issue began about 3 months ago when my mother-in-law had the machine. According to her, the machine became very slow to boot (taking from 20min to over 1 hour) and her wireless mouse was not working. Fortunately she was already using a wired keyboard and had a spare wired mouse, so she was able to use the machine. Other than the slow boot and mouse issue, the system was stable. We decided to replace her machine in any case, primarily because it's not easily serviceable - especially where she lives (rural Alabama). I took the machine back (it had been mine originally). At that point it was running 10.8.5.
I observed the following:
1) The system was, indeed, very slow to boot as she described.
2) None of the bluetooth devices were working.
3) The bluetooth device shows as "No information found" in the System Information report
4) Bluetooth preferences were not visible in system preferences.
5) Coincident with her first report or problems, the following messages began appearing in the system logs:
Dec 30 14:25:05 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:    3.195    AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 3 of Hub at 0x6100000 reported error 0xe00002c0 while doing clearing port feature (1)
Dec 30 14:25:05 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:    3.195    AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 1 of Hub at 0x6100000 reported error 0xe00002c0 while doing clearing port feature (1)
Dec 30 14:25:05 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:    3.206    AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 2 of Hub at 0x6100000 reported error 0xe00002ed while doing getting port status (4)
Dec 30 14:25:05 localhost kernel[0]: USBF:    3.206    AppleUSBHubPort::FatalError - Port 2 of Hub at 0x6100000 reported error 0xe00002c0 while doing clearing port feature (2)
Though she originally had external peripherals attached, all have been removed - the only things plugged into any USB or Firewire port are the keyboard and mouse.
So, that's how the machine was when I got it back... I have tried the following:
1) First I tried AHT - booting from the original disks provided with the system (AHT version 3A170). AHT hung while probing system hardware; it just stalled for several hours (I think I let it try overnight, only to return to see no progress). I've tried AHT a couple of times through this ordeal and can never get to the point where I can even initiate the test.
2) I tried removing the bluetooth preferences file.
3) I tried resetting NVRAM
4) I tried resetting SMC
5) I've booted in verbose mode, but nothing really stood out as clearly (or even vaguely) indicating a problem.
People did suggest booting in "safe" mode - thought it was never clear what I was supposed to do after that. In any case, an attempt to boot in safe mode caused the machine to just reboot itself. I even set safe mode in the boot-args and sat back and watched as the machine consistently rebooted itself each time... about 7 or 8 times before I got sick of hearing the boot chime. I did have verbose mode turned on in boot-args as well, an each time it rebooted at the same point, while initializing drivers. Interestingly, booting in "normal" mode has never been an issue - save for the exceptional amount of time it takes.
Since the data on the disk was of no use to me, I created a 10.10.1 install package on a USB stick and installed fresh - verifying and reformatting the hard drive before performing the install. The installation was uneventful (i.e. worked just like it should).
So, now I am running 10.10.1 and still no Bluetooth. I tried the AHT again and again it gets hung probing the hardware and I can't even initiate the test. I even tried a suggestion from another thread (hold ctl-shift-option and the power button for about 6 sec while the power is off)... that had worked for a number of folks but not for me.
One other piece of info I just confirmed while writing this, 0x6100000 is the Location ID associated with the BRCM2046 Hub - i.e. the Bluetooth device. Why this shows up as a hub on the USB Bus but the device itself doesn't appear to exist is confusing. I certainly would expect to see this as a USB hub on a correctly functioning system, it's just confusing why it's there when the underlying bluetooth device is not recognized.
So, I am pretty much convinced it's a hardware issue of some kind - given this is a "spare" Mac that I was simply trying to re-purpose to host a film scanner that requires a FireWire interface, I am not sure how much I want to invest financially in getting this resolved. I have heard that Apple no longer services these machines, but I could be wrong... As I see it my options are kind of limited:
1) Take it to a repair facility (even if Apple doesn't work on them, there are at least 2 places near by that do) and pay them $$ just to tell me that it's going to be $$$ fix it.
2) Get my hands dirty, open this thing up and see if I can fix it.
I'm leaning towards option 2, but I am really reluctant to go on a fishing expedition. Based on what I have observed, it seems to be a problem with the bluetooth module itself, and as I understand it that is a separate part from the main logic board... which means that I can replace it for about $35 and the cost of the right tools; which all together total about the same amount as the "diagnostic" fee any local repair shop would charge. If it's not that, then it's the logic board and the best price I can find for that puts it in the "not worth the trouble" category anyway. I don't want to rule out some other component - memory, disk drive, or power supply... but any of those, at least to me, seem like the kind of components which would cause more erratic behavior when they fail.
So, what's my question - simple ... have I missed something here. Before I perform open heart surgery are there any last tricks I can try or is my conclusion that this must be a hardware problem pretty solid?

Windows 8.1 Bluetooth missing from Device Manager

It appears after the latest round of windows automatic updates my native bluetooth device went missing. It is not visable in the device manager or the control panel settings. I have downloaded and reinstalled the latest wireless and bluetooth drivers, however I am still unable to view the device. This is a Yoga Pro 2 (64bit) running the most current Windows 8.1 updates. The latop has a native bluetooth adaptor which had been working with no issues. I have run services.msc and restarted the associated BT services and they are running. Would appreciate any help.

How do I ammend slow bootup time on my Macbook Pro??

My comp takes 3-5 mins to boot up. I want to know how i can speed up boot up time?

The cause of slow bootup could be any number of things. Maybe your hard drive failing? Maybe the hard drive is full? Maybe the directory structure is messed up? Who really knows?
quickest method to fix...backup your files, erase the drive and reinstall the OS.

Problems sharing internet to macbook over wifi and bluetooth

I have an iPhone 5S with iOS 7.1.2 and I want to share its internet connection to a Macbook Pro (early 2011) with OS X Mavericks 10.9.4.
When I share using USB connection, it works fine, but with Wifi and Bluetooth I have some issues:
- Bluetooth: I have never been able to make this work. I can't pair the iPhone with the Macbook. The iPhone appeared in the list of bluetooth devices in my mac, and I tried to pair it; in the iPhone a dialog asked me to confirm if I wanted to pair with the mac, and I selected Yes. After a few seconds it disconnected. If I try to pair from my iPhone to the mac, I get an error message "Device not compatible".
- Wifi: this sometimes works but is very buggy. Sometimes the iPhone wifi network is not visible to my mac. Other times, when I select the wifi network in the mac, I get an error message that says it was not possible to connect. I have to turn off/on the wifi and internet sharing in the iPhone several times to make it work.
This is all very frustrating. Is there a way to fix this?

Same issue here with WiFi using latest iOS version on iPad Air and latest Macbook Pro. In my opinion, "Personal Hotspot" (or tethering) is totally broken on iOS.
WiFi tethering works once and then I need to enable/disable hotspot or enable/disable WiFi to make it work again. Bluetooth is so slow it's unusable. Even over USB I have to reset the iPad a couple times a day as the internet connection is displayed as online but just not working any more. Very disappointing. "it just works (not!)".

My Macbook pro 2011 suddenly has a really slow bootup. What can I do?

My Macbook pro 2011 suddenly has a really slow bootup. What can I do? I did install a cannon printer upgrade and security upgrade. Not sure if it was something to do with that. Also I tried the disk utility repair and didn't improve anything. I also reset PRAM and SMC.

1. Try booting in e Verbose mode - press and hold [cmd] + [v] keys just right after the boot chord sounds till you get a black screen and white letters.
if there are some delays in the boot process - you should see where the system is stuck.
this mode is not permanent - the next [re-] boot will be normal.
2. repair permissions. disk utility does fine. Disk Warrior is better.
sometimes after half done updates (it may happen though should not) there are items that are "belonging to someone else"
3. try cache cleaner (or there are some other utilities as well - I just like SlCC more) http://www.northernsoftworks.com/snowleopardcachecleaner.html - it's shareware though the basic functionality is free for you to use.
Try caches -> deep cleaning (please read the developers site what it does) and select checkmark at all options - reply yes to the requests and after a reboot the next reboot should be as it is intended.
p.s be sure you do have backup

Real slow bootup

lately ive been having a slow bootup, it will hang at the following message for about 3 minutes then fail and proceed to boot as normal

Could be that there's an existing corrupted /var/lib/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.persist statefile. Just try removing it.

morrisroe,
were any of the crashes due to GPU panics?
It looks like something has modified your /etc/hosts file — do you know which of your apps has done that?
Did you ensure that all of your installed third-party apps are compatible with Mavericks before upgrading to Mavericks?
Your Silverlight plug-in is out of date; you can download the latest version (5.1.30317.0) from here.

IOS 7 on iPhone 4S WiFi and Bluetooth greyed out. Help!

I upgraded to iOS 7 last night. WiFi and bluetooth were working fine. When I woke up today, the WiFi toggle in settings was greyed out and the bluetooth toggle was missing and kept showing the "waiting wheel". Help!!!!!

All done now - the issue is with the WiFi chip - and when you update IOS it checks all components out to see if they are working correctly, then shuts them down if they are not.
It is a hardware failure, and is pretty common with iphone 4S.... If your phone is over 12 months (and you didn't take out extended warranty) you have the pleasure of paying Apple £139 for a 'remanufactured' phone with 3 months warranty.
Nothing like my expectation for a premium product (with a premium price tag) - its a component durability issue, nothing to do with the user, an Apple component fault. However forget it if you think it is Apple's problem, if it is out of warranty, they aren't interested.My love affair with Apple products is over, google products here I come...
Rant over....

Time Machine WIFI slows down and Fine after I unplug it?

My Time Machine WIFI slows down to an absolute crawl and then after I unplug it and plug it back in, it's back to normal. Can someone help me?

My Time Machine WIFI slows down to an absolute crawl and then after I unplug it and plug it back in, it's back to normal.
This is a classic case of the effects of wireless interference from other networks around you. See the link at the bottom for more information about this.
It might first help to understand why things improve when you unplug the Time Capsule and then power it back up. When you do this, the Time Capsule will scan to find the best available wireless channels to use at the time.
Unfortunately, other wireless routers are doing the same thing all the time, so after a few hours or a day or two, the channel(s) that the Time Capsule was using become overcrowded and the wireless slows down to a crawl. Cordless phones can also create interference issues for a wireless network as well as any number of other electronic devices.
Unless you can convince other users around you to turn off their wireless routers, there is not much that you are going to be able to do to come up with a permanent fix. For now, locate the Time Capsule as far away from any outside walls in your home as possible and use the 5 GHz band for as many connections as you can.
A friend of mine who recently moved into a new apartment complex has the same problem. He has to restart his wireless router at least twice a day, sometimes more on the weekends. Too many wireless networks.....not enough channels.

Cant find network controller and Bluetooth drivers for my HP 15-S006TU Windows 7 OS Laptop

I recently bought HP 15-S006TU through flipkart and installed Windows 7 OS, I tried downloading all drivers from hp website but I didnt find network controller and bluetooth drivers, I am missing these very badly without this i cant connect to internet, request to help me in this regard and suggest a link where i can download these.

Hi:
There are no drivers for Vista for the wireless/bluetooth adapters in your model.
Maybe this wireless driver might work but it is pretty old...
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=ob_111718_1&sp4ts.oid=5229461
I can't find a bluetooth driver that lists vista as supported.
You can try this older one for Windows 7 but I doubt it will work.
