ThinkPad W540 - Win7 - Bluetooth device not recognized by Windows 7 - REALTEK not supported OS !!

In my Device Manger there are three devices that are working properly the are:
Bluetooth Peripheral Device - Not Installed
Bluetooth L2CAP Interface - Disabled
Bluetooth Peripheral Device - Not Installed
These devices are found by the Lenovo Solution Center.
If I go to Lenovo's driver download page and download and attempt to install the REALTEK Bluetooth drivers when setup starts it ends with a prompt stating
"Sorry ! We do not support this operation system !!"
I am running Windows 7 64bit which is the driver that is suppored per the lenovo driver site.
Thanks for your help

My guess is that you are trying to install the driver for a newer machine (different Bluetooth device). I believe you need this one:

  • Thinkpad W520 Win7 Bluetooth device not recognized by Windows 7

    Hello all,
    Just received my Thinkpad W520 4270 CTO with bluetooth installed. It was a DOS workstation that I installed Win 7 x64 Ultimate on and I finally got all the drivers installed but the bluetooth software says there is no BT device connected to my laptop. I checked the BIOS settings and confirmed the BT is enabled. I even disabled it, saved, then enabled it to toggle. Hitting the Fn+5 combo doesn't trigger the light or any "Found New Hardware." When the laptop first boots up the BT light flashes along with the wifi light and the HDD activity light. I haven't yet been able to load another OS, but I'm downloading Arch Linux and BackTrack 5 to test to see it's possibly an OS issue.
    Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful, it appears my Google-Fu has failed me as well.
    EDIT: I realize the sticky about the "do not update the bluetooth drivers" but I'm not getting my bluetooth to work at all, not even being recognized by the OS as an "unknown device."
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I figured it out. It's laughably easy. Download the keyboard hotkey drivers and install them. It'll allow you to use the Functions at the top of your keyboard, then after you restart, hit Fn+F5 and you'll get a menu to enable Bluetooth on the OS, then Win7 should detect and install the drivers for it, or you can download the ones from Lenovo's site.

  • Thinkpad W520 - Win7 - Bluetooth device not recognized by Windows 7/64

    The W520 does have Bluetooth.
    Had it before, I was able to switch it on/off by the Fn/F5 switch.
    But I did something "stupid" and deleted something  I was not supposed to, which I can not recall. Dumb me.
    -reinstalled Lenovo and Intel network drivers
    -reinstalled power manager, hotkeys
    -service is on automatic
    -bluetooth is on in the BIOS
    Iam lost.

    N0, there is no radio entry.
    Additionally, the Fn/F5 menu  is now not showing  the bluetooth on/off option.
    BTW, the bluetooth icon it is shown at boot time and it is on in the BIOS.
    Seem to me that the only option woudl be to unseat the daug card ... not easy as you have to rip the whole front panel.
    Basically Win 7/64  does notknow that there is a card.
    thank you for your replies.

  • I pair with other peoples phones but when i go to connect with them it says device not supported why is this?? this is the iphone 4 i am using

    i want to know how to get my bluetooth working with other phones please help as when i go to connect it says device not supported!!

    The iPhone cannot connect to any other phone over Bluetooth.
    The exception is other iOS devices in games and apps that have 'peer-to-peer' Bluetooth connectivity.

  • HT3887 why does my iPhone say device not supported when connecting to my make even after it has successfully paired?

    why does my iphone say device not supported when connecting to my mac pro, even though it has already succesfuly paired? I also use a wirless bluetooth keyboard and mouse on the computer successfully.
    Also when I turn Bluetooth on on the phone the devices cog never stops turning (forever serching for a device)

    iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer.
    It couldn't be much easier than that as you don't actually have to do anything more than normal.
    This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
    Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
    USB syncing is far faster than Bluetooth.

  • Error 7 (windows error 126). Have tried to re-install itunes but failed, twice. some end message about "mobile device not supported".

    Error 7 (Windows error 126). I have tried to re-install itunes twice now, and each time  " mobile device not supported" appears and the  installation can not finish.

    See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    Do you have any iOS devices? If the link above doesn't completely fix your library I could talk you through installing iTunes without Apple Moble Device Support for now which would at least enable you to open iTunes.

  • How can I get my stereo to play music videos from my Ipod Nano?  It comes up with the message "This device not supported".  Strangely my Iphone IS recognised.  The stereo, Ipod, and Iphone are less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

    How do I get my Ipod to play music videos through my theatre system?  I keep getting the message "This device not supported".  My theatre system WILL recognise my Iphone however.  The theatre system, Ipod, and Iphone are all less than 4 months old.  Any suggestions welcome!

    Check with the theater system vendor and see if their system is compatible with the Nano. The resolution on the Nano may be too low for the system.

  • Updated iphone4 to ios5 - get Device not supported for icloud - worked fine for other iphone4

    Updated iphone4 to ios5 - get "Device Not Supported" message - worked fine for other iphone4 & ipad.  Why is this iphone "not qualified for icloud"?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

  • Burning- "Device Not supported..." Using LaCie & Toast 7

    HEy all,
    I am getting the message, "Device Not Supported...." with option to cancel when trying to burn to a LaCie. I'm on a FPimac with DVD Stud 3. I have Toast 7 but trying to burn directly from Pro.
    Any work arounds...
    THanks,
    Al

    A snag as I only have Toast Lite - a stripped down version ...and will only let me burn two items or folders ....
    There was only 1 Lay file.
    It won't let me choose the option you mentioned UPG?
    But it did let me choose "DVD-Video" however I got an error after pressing burn - "error -39"
    Other than upgrading my Toast Lite to Toast can't I use my Full Toast Version on my MBpro to burn a DVD authored in DVDPro via my network?
    THanks,
    Al

  • "This device not supported" msg when connecting camera

    I just tried plugging in my (four year old) Canon Digital Elph via the USB connector (30 pin male to USB female) and got the "device not supported" msg on my iPad2
    Are only recent cameras supported?

    The camera connector I'm using is one I bought some years back to connect a camera to an iPod Photo. It looks to be the same as the current one, however.
    Could this be a connector issue rather than a camera issue?
    Yes, it's a connector issue. The connector you have doesn't work with the iPad, as you've discovered. It doesn't work with any iOS device. You need the iPad Camera Connector Kit. It has two different dongles, one to connect a USB cable, the other, an SD card.
