[Solved] Bluetooth suddenly not working

Hello,
My bluetooth was workking fine just minutes ago. However, I did a ssh -Y to a remote host and ran gnome-session. That messed up my keyboard layout, so I just rebooted and it was back to normal. However, bluetooth doesn't work since then. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling bluez, compiling and installing bluez from source, nothing does it. The following commands show:
the main problem is the output of:
$ hciconfig
(no output)
$hcitool dev
Devices: (blank)
$ lsmod | grep bluetooth
bluetooth 46567 5 sco,bnep,l2cap
rfkill 12854 4 bluetooth,cfg80211,dell_laptop
a relevant line from errors.log is:
localhost bluetoothd[7163]: Unable to get on D-Bus.
everything.log shows a *lot* of such lines:
localhost load-modules.sh: 'pci:v00008086d00002C98sv00008086sd00008086bc06sc00i00' is not a valid module or alias name
localhost load-modules.sh: 'acpi:device:' is not a valid module or alias name
Any idea what may be causing the problem ?
I also have a usb problem: my usb/esata port doesn't works for the first 2 minutes post-boot.
relevant lines from errors.log are:
localhost kernel: hub 1-1:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
localhost kernel: usb 1-1.1: device descriptor read/64, error -110
Fixing these two errors would really make my day. I believe they are unrelated, I noticed the usb problem a while ago...
Thanks a lot!
Quentin

my latest kernel update was three days ago, but as I said, bluetooth was working just fine a hour ago.
By the way, hciconfig gives a blank output, and 'hcitool dev' doesn't show any devices.

Bluetooth Suddenly Not Working With My Huawei Phone

I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro (the latest one). I also have a Huawei y300 phone. The two used to work together fine. I could send photos back and forth using bluetooth with no problems. But now I can't send anything. I can pair my phone with my MacBook but when I go to send a file, I get a "cancelled by user" message on my phone. Nothing will connect to Bluetooth on my Macbook. I think it's the Yosemite update. That's when the bluetooth seemed to have stopped working. Has anyone had this issue? is there any fix?

First check and see if Wacom has a driver update.
If their most recent driver does not solve the problem, then you need to call Wacom and work with them to see why the driver is not working on your system.

My iPhone 4s bluetooth is not working

Dear Apple Customer ,
I m using iPhone 4s but my phone bluetooth is not working . If i bluetooth on after searching device long time.
Pls help me how to solve this problem .
Regards,
Viswa

What are you trying to connect to? iOS has BT profiles for connecting to keyboards, headsets, speakers, car systems. Through the Personal Hotspot settings on the iPhone, you can also connect to other devices to share an internet connection. Sharing files over BT is not a function that iOS devices support.
Please give more details about what your trying to do and what's happening when you try.
Best of luck.

Help! My MacBook is all of a sudden not working. I can login to my account but as soon as I do that the screen goes completely white. I can change the volume and I have a mouse but that is it. I've tried safe starting my computer and that doesn't work.

Help! My MacBook is all of a sudden not working past the login page. A white screen comes up that I cannot get rid of. I attempted a safe start up and that failed as well. It's a white screen where I have a mouse and when I click the volume buttons I can hear it working but nothing else just white. Please help.

Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store & sign out & log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)

Bluetooth is not working in my iphone 4

bluetooth is not working
in my iphone4

The solution that worked for me was to Backup and then Restore.
For the backup: you can do it via iTunes (plug the iPhone and right click over its icon on the Devices section and then choose Back Up) or download your photos, contacts and other important documents to your Mac using iPhoto (just download your photos) or apps like My Contacts Back Up (it will email you the full list so you can upload it to the iPhone later). Make sure you backup properly please!
After you have done the back up choose Restore in iTunes and that will erase all the files and apps from the iPhone so it will be back to the settings it had on the day you used it for the first time (you'll be able to recover all the apps you paid for since they'll be linked to the Apple ID you used to purchase them).
The iPhone will still have the latest version of iOS (6.1.3) so if the problem is -like in most cases- software related it would be fixed and you'll able to pair the device again. If not maybe you will have to downgrade the iOS to the previous version.
Hope this helps!

I updated my iphone 4S to 7.1.1 and now WIFI and Bluetooth do not work.

I updated my iphone 4S to 7.1.1. Immediately after doing this, my wifi is greyed out, (cannot even turn it on), and my bluetooth is not working at all. I have discussed with Apple several times and even went to an apple service center. They claim that I have a HW issue and that I must pay $200 for another phone. HAving been a cell phone HW designer for 15 years, I know this is not true. If this is a HW issue, it was caused by the FW update. There is a problem with my phone that is a direct result of the FW update. If I could go back to the previous version, I could prove it but there is no way for me to do that. So, it looks like iphone has released an update that "breaks" some phones. What an easy way to force people to pay them $200 for a new phone. Hmmm, if other electronic manufacturers catch on to this, we are screwed. Apple has seen the issues on the internet and has seen the issues reported on thier own Communities. They know that many people are reporting the same problem. If I can look it up, anyone can. They know that they have screwed up. So instead of biting the bullet and fixing what they broke, (peoples phones), they are taking advantage of the opportunity to make more money by telling people that they have a HW problem that they are not responsible for and that it is going to cost $200 to fix what Apple has screwed up. Just let me go back to the previous version of the IOS and my phone will work again. Is anyone else having this same issue? Has Apple lost it? I have been more than pleased with my phone. I have been thrilled with customer support. What is going on with apple? Samsung is looking better every minute.

Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.
Charles

ITunes on my iPhone 5 is suddenly not working.

iTunes on my iPhone 5 is suddenly not working. Updated to IOS8.0 (not running 8.0.1) a few days go but was fine up until today. Now, when attempting to play a list of songs (artist, playlist or album) it rapidly shuffles through all of them without playing and then it displays a red square next to songs and won't play them at all. It seems to sync with my MBP but then new playlists I've created don't appear on the iPhone even though iTunes on the MBP has them appearing when I click the "on my iPhone tab. Tried the obvious quit and restart approach. No effect. Does anyone have any ideas?

It's not a hardware problem. The same exact thing just happened to me. My husband reset all settings, not erase all content and settings, after the phone started back up, everything worked like normal again. You just have to redo your settings.
General>Reset>Reset all settings
Hope this helps you!

Hello,
I have a Lenovo U410 touch, and i just upgraded to windows 8.1 though the store.
And the bluetooth is not working at all, it says that the PC is searching for Bluetooth devices. While everything was working great before.
I have updated all the drivers from the Lenovo websites and still nothing is working

hi erabbath,
Welcome to the Forums.
If you have the Intel Centrino N2230 Wireless + Bluetooth adapter, can you try to:
1. Navigate to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Devices and Printers and try to pair a bluetooth device (i.e. Bluetooth Headset) and observe if it gets detected under the device list.
2. If the Bluetooth Headset is listed but it's not working try toright click on it > choose Properties. On the bluetooth properties Window, go to the Services Tab and check all the appropriate bluetooth services.

Let me know your findings.

IChat video suddenly not working

Can anyone help? I'm using iChat 4.0.8 on an almost brand new MacBook Pro. The video worked perfectly fine with my parents, and then suddenly stopped working when we moved. We're still using a wireless connection with an airport extreme. Funny thing is, the video works fine with my husband's MacBook Pro, and my brother who is in California. Why would it suddenly not work with my parents when computers haven't changed?
please help!

Did the Modem change ?

Apple TV suddenly not working

My Apple TV is suddenly not working. I have tried the trouble shooting suggestions of restarting, upgrading the system, checking everything etc, but to no avail. When I do a system test, all is ok, but I just cannot download /view my purchase - I get a constant 'ready in one minute' message with a wait symbol. There doesn't seem to be an issue with movies I have already purchased. I tried apple online support and a 'helpful support' person didn't respond to my query in 'under 2minutes' - or at all for that matter. Of course no problem with the billing - my account hash been charged for a movie I can't watch. All very frustrating! We have had Apple TV for over 18 months with no problems.

Welcome to the Apple community.
So is it just one movie.

AppleTv2: HDCP suddenly not working on netflix after update

I have had a working AppleTV2 for about a year and have been using netflix to stream movies. After most recent update I can no longer stream due to HDCP error. There are been no changes to the hardware (cables, TV, power, etc.) This can only point to the update. I tried to do a restore from Mac to the most recent update. I took it into the genius bar and they tried to do the same thing. No change, they only offer the $69 Service replacement. I have tried changing the outputs, the hdmi cable and powering up in a certain manner. None of these work? Why is this suddenly not working?
Thanks for any help.

Interesting (albeit, odd) addition to this issue --
on my work system (dual G5, decked out, 23" Cinema), the same issue started to happen after the QT upgrade... however in my situation, the movie would load, but then just sit there, frozen.
The first time I saw this, I started to move my mouse across the web page, and noticed that every time the pointer would roll over a URL link or any other rollover type of object within the browser window (e.g., a link or even a tab or bookmark shortcut in the Safari toolbar) the movie would suddenly start and stop, but just for a fraction of a second. But yet, if I just leave my mouse sitting on top of the URL or rollover object, it does nothing. It appears to be directly related to the action of roll-on or roll-out from other objects on the page, or within the overall window.
So basically, if I take my mouse and move it ridiculously fast back and forth over any one of these rollover items, the movie will play for a fraction of a second each time the pointer passes over the object and makes it highlight... something to the effect of watching a flip-book animation that stutters along.
Very bizarre -- not sure what happened with the update, but hoping that there is a patch released soon. It would appear that it's conflicting with other objects within the window, or it's waiting for some action on another rollover-type of item that is loaded within the overall window.
