[Solved] Can't Get Bluetooth Adapter To Run

Hello all,
I have a notebook (Dell Studio 1555) with an internal bluetooth adapter (dell 370, if I remember correctly), that I'm unable to set up in Gnome 3.10.
It has worked before under KDE 4.10, but I think it stopped working under KDE 4.11, prior to switching to Gnome, though I'm not sure.
Here are some outputs I'm getting:

Hi adam,
I'm running 64bit Arch on a Studio 1557 with an integrated usb bluetooth adapter (BCM2046).
In 2011 I had the very same problem you describe and got it fixed. Let me explain:
The bluetooth adapter has 2 modes of operation: HID mode and HCI mode.
In HID mode, it presents itself as a keyboard/mouse input device (in your case 413c:815[8/7]).
This allows you to use e.g. a bluetooth mouse that has been paired earlier - even if your OS doesn't support bluetooth.
In HCI mode, the device presents itself as a regular bluetooth adapter which can be used by your bluetooth stack (e.g. bluez) - that's what we want.
The problem back in 2011 was, that my adapter would default to HID mode and to switch it to HCI mode I had to use the 'hid2hci' tool (now part of bluez-utils).
For some time now bluez ships a udev rule which takes care of switching modes so everything worked flawlessly.
A couple of weeks ago, however, the problem resurfaced and I haven't found a fix yet.
I noticed that the udev rule isn't triggered anymore and running hid2hci (/lib/udev/hid2hci) manually doesn't work either (gives an error saying 'unable to handle [devpath]').
The only way to use the bluetooth adapter in arch for me is to boot Windows inside a Virtual machine, attach the USB touchpad device (the HID proxy) and let Windows switch it to HCI mode.
This, however, only lasts until I reboot/resume from standby.
I believe this regression was caused by a package upgrade, since an older arch installation I had lying around still recogniced the adapter while an up-to-date installation wouldn't.
Unfortunately, said lecacy installation is now gone and downgrading arch to a point before the regression doesn't seem feasible.
Any suggestions are more than welcome!
So long,
rev

I assume you're running nm-applet --sm-disable once you get a window manager session up?
Try starting networkmanager after hal. From the wiki:
You must also "disable" the default network daemon, and add the hal, dhcdbd and networkmanager daemons in this order:
DAEMONS=( ... !network hal dhcdbd networkmanager ... )

Late 2013 MBP/Fusion/Boot Camp partition w/Windows XP (!), can I get Bluetooth working or should I give up?

Hello and please bear with the length of this post. I had an old MacBook Pro (2007 Santa Rosa) that ran Windows XP in a Boot Camp partition just fine. One thing Windows has that the Mac doesn't is a free OBD2 app that lets me communicate with a Bluetooth OBD2 scanner to reset my check engine light and read the codes. This scanner uses Bluetooth.
A few months ago by a stroke of good luck I got a new Retina MacBook Pro. Windows XP will not install on it, only Win 7 & 8 (I don't have the install disks anymore anyway). I did not want to buy a new Windows just to run this one program (the only Windows app I really need). I thought I could possibly run my old Win XP Boot Camp partition (now in an external USB3 case) under Fusion, and it turns out that I can indeed do this. However I can not get Bluetooth to work – Win XP, under Fusion, does not see any Bluetooth hardware. I got some help on the Fusion forum – I was told to uncheck the Share Bluetooth devices with the virtual machine box and check the Apple Bluetooth USB Host Controller box to connect Bluetooth to the virtual machine. WIn XP, under Fusion, does not seem to see any Bluetooth hardware.
My question is, do the Boot Camp drivers originally installed when I first used Win XP on my old Santa Rosa MBP have any role here? I was thinking I might have to update those drivers since I'm on a new Retina MBP, but the update notes specifically say the newer drivers are for Windows 7 and 8. I haven't tried to install them yet – maybe they'll even refuse to install, I don't know.
If I'm truly wasting my time trying to get this to work I'll fork over the $40 for the Mac OBD2 software, although I really only need it for a "single use" (trying to pass a state inspection, lol!). TIA for any help!

Please ignore the last message - I was hoping I could delete the thread but it looks like I can't.
After a little more investigation I've decided to give up this quest and pay the $40 for the Mac software.

Can i get an adapter for macbook to make hdmi port?

can i get an adapter for macbook to make hdmi port?

Yes, but the one you need depends on the specific MacBook you have.
Earlier MacBooks use a Mini-DVI and later ones use a Mini DisplayPort for their video output. To find out which MacBook you have, go to the  (Apple menu) and choose About This Mac. Click More Info... and in the System Profiler window that opens, choose Hardware. Your Model Identifier will be shown.
For MacBook1,1 though MacBook4,1 choose a Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter
For MacBook5,1 and later choose a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter
Either one is commonly available for less than $10.

How can I get quicktime pro 7 running

I bought quicktime pro 7 a couple of years ago and have a registration code. At the time I used the program to make some time lapse movies. I'd like to make a couple of time lapse movies again but quicktime pro 7 is no where to be found. This probably ha something to do with updating the os between then and now. The question is how can I get quicktime pro 7 running again? The unlocking instructions I have for quicktime pro 7 that I received with the key do not correspond with what the system preferences now show. Any assistance would be appreciated. I am currently running OS X version 10.9.5 on an older iMac.

Open the QuickTime 7 player(if it’s not installed, click here), choose Registration from the QuickTime Player 7 menu, and supply your key there.

I don't get it... I have been using jdk 1.3.x for sometime... a year now. All seems fine with servlets and java applications I have created. What could be not there if all of this works?
If reinstall the jdk over top of where is is now, would that be of any help? I will copy my /ext jar files to a temp area first so I can keep my jar files.

It maybe worthwhile trying to uninstall and then reinstall the icloud control panel, if the issue is with your outlook.
