    You cannot connect any BT device to this notebook because this has not been equipped with any BT module.
    So BT is not available for this unit.

  • HT1688 iOS7 and connecting calls when using Bluetooth device

    After upgrading to iOS7, it takes a long time to connect a call when using Bluetooth in my car. Worse of all, when checking voicemail, the message does not come across the Bluetooth device even when audio device output is selected as Bluetooth device. Any solutions to this problem?

    Hi, eklinck. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Sometimes closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device can resolve the issue.

  • Windows Vista - cannot use Bluetooth device TRENDNet TBW-102UB

    Hello,
    I'm facing a problem that occurs when try to connect Bluetooth device on Satellite A135-S4637 with Windows Vista Home Premium.
    The Bluetooth device is a TrendNet TBW-102UB, and at XP it's working just fine.
    The error message is "Bluetooth device is not ready".
    After install new updates from manufacturer's website the problem still occurs.
    Is there any service pack from Vista that fix that kind of problem or it is something relational to Toshiba's Bluetooth software?
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Hello
    Please do not be mad on me but I do not understand relations to Toshiba notebook. Are you 100% sure that all USB ports on your notebook work properly?
    If yes the whole thing has something to do with this external device, driver and settings. To be honest the manufacturer must offer Vista compatible software. Do you think so?

  • Bluetooth devices state they are disabled since upgrade to 10.2.1.537

    Hi
    We have had (including myself) several users in my company that have upgraded their devices to this latest software.
    Since the upgrade we can no longer use Bluetooth devices.  We are getting the message that Bluetooth has been disabled by your administration.
    Our BB10 devices connect via ActiveSync and we do not have any policy via ActiveSync dealing with Bluetooth.
    Who do we correct this "Policy" that doesn't exist that is blocking Bluetooth use?
    Solved!

    I can pair to my vehicle (MB E350) but when I turn off the radio or restart the car it will not pair.  It shows profiles in both phone and car but they will not pair.  I have had to delete both bluetooth profiles on device and vehicle and start the pairing process again.  This happened when I upgraded 10 10.2.1.537.  I have opened a case ID 27343869 and was given a phone number 877-255-2377 to folow up.  They did work diligently with me yesterday (over two hours) to reset my Z10 back to factory setting but it retained the latest 10.2.1.537 software.  This did not fix the problem.  I will work with them to downgrade to the previous version. Or see if they develop a fix on this upgrade.  It's a problem.  I suggest you tag onto my case ID and continue to push.
    I have checked with my IT group and our policy setting for Bluetooth has always been set to allow.  Could this issue only be with MB cars?  I am on the phone with Blackberry now working through this case.  I will update as I hear.

    I bought recently a Pavilion 15-p036tx and I can't connect to my bluetooth device as logitech audio adapter, toshiba bluetooth mose and phone HTC.
    I noticed as well that the wifi connection is realy por only 1strip.
    I have a old HP Pvilion I bought in 2007 which is connecting to my bluetooth devices and the wifi is at full bandwith perfectly.
    It's realy seams to be a driver issue. On the HP support donwload page the is too many drives. Which one should I use?

  • Apple Bluetooth Devices and Rechargeable Batteries

    Hi,
    Both from my own experience, and other posts on this forum, there seems to be a problem using Bluetooth devices, especially mice, with rechargeable batteries (symptoms, not being able to point, crazy tracking behaviour etc.).
    I know that Apple recommends that non-rechargeable batteries are used, but in this day and age that seems a bit archaic and, well, not very eco-friendly!
    So is there a good reason why Apple couldn't design (or re-design) bluetooth devices with re-chargeables in mind?
    If there's anyone out there who has been able to get reliable performance from blue-tooth devices with re-chargeables, can you share some brands/details?
    I've tried Energizer Ni-MH 2000mAh, and they do not work.
    PowerMac G4 Ai/Intel Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hello Ellis:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    Apple indicates that rechargeable batteries are fine for use in wireless mice/KBs (see paragraph #2):
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86651#faq1
    As the other poster correctly indicated, the voltage is lower in rechargeable batteries so they do not last as long as lithium ones. I use 2500 MaH batteries and the life is "reasonable." I do use an Energizer recharger that recharges batteries in 15 minutes (takes both AA and AAA batteries).
    FWIW, I have not detected any behavior problems related to using rechargeable batteries - nor have I seen more than anecdotal posts that indicate such problems,

  • System highly unstable and crashes while using Bluetooth (Plantronics)

    I got the new Macbook Pro with Leopard 10.5.6 and "some what" happy with the performance. OS looks to be buggy, in particular while using bluetooth devices or with high load and I have uploaded crash dumps couple of times to apple (support listening??) . I observed that when I use the Plantronics Pulsar 590A (http://www.plantronics.com/northamerica/enUS/products/cat1150057/cat5420035/prod29780013) watching video (iTunes, iMovie) the headset behaves strange i.e after all the hassle of going through the frequent connectivity issue (for which there's a question pending with no answer ), the sound drops or there's some crackling noise etc.
    More annoying problem is that the system crashes very frequently. i.e. while using the BT headset, watch video or listen to music for couple of minutes, close the app or put the system to sleep, then after some time try watching or listening some thing else, the system becomes unbelievably slow and finally gives up with an error message - Kernel panic, system needs to be restarted. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the Restart button. If I don't use the bluetooth head set, the crashes are not so frequent but will crash for sure (I extensively use Virtualbox with one or two guest oses and most of the other crashes are from Virtoalbox)
    Also I observed that the Microsoft NB 5000 mouse also behaves odd i.e. Connection keeps getting dropped.
    Any ideas/suggestions ? I think this is the problem with Mac OS bluetooth driver as both these devices works without any problem on Windows XP/Vista on other hardware (not Mac x86).

    Try reinstalling OS X:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
    Some third-party peripherals may not be compatible with OS X. This may be especially a problem with peripherals that use proprietary drivers such as mouse software. If you are using Microsoft's driver software with your mouse consider uninstalling the software and driver. If this helps with your mouse, then you might try using SteerMouse - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - instead of the Microsoft software.

  • Since the iOS7.0.2 update to my iPhone 4S, I can no longer choose use of my Bluetooth device if using the power cord to listen to MUSIC or answer my phone (choice of powercord as 'dock,' speaker,

    Since the iOS7.0.2 update to my iPhone 4S, I can no longer choose use of my Bluetooth device if using the power cord to listen to MUSIC or answer my phone (choice of powercord as 'dock,' speaker, & phone only).  Was this former-feature now an oversight??  I'd really appreciate having my Bluetooth once again listed as a choice of  audio option.  Especially considering the battery life is not what it was prior to this update, and requires recharging often.

    Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

  • Attempting to use bluetooth for the first time, and it never sees any other devices

    I have an iPad 2 about a year old, running iOS 6.0.1.  This morning I tried to connect to another iPad, over bluetooth, and neither iPad is able to discover the other.  This is the first attempt to use bluetooth on either of these iPads.  The other iPad is also running iOS 6.0.1.  The iPads were less than 10 feet apart.
    On both devices, I went to settings:bluetooth, and turned blutooth "on".  This opened up a "Devices" box, which says "Searching...", with a spinning wheel icon. Below this box is says "Now discoverable".  Both devices remained in this state.
    I haven't used bluetooth before so I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
    Later in the day I fiddled with the bluetooth systems prefs panel on my desktop (a circa 2005 intel mac running OSX 10.6.8).

    (hadn't finished my earlier message but somehow it posted it before I was ready).
    From the OSX bluetooth panel, I turned bluetooth on, and made my computer discoverable.  I then hit "setup new device", and was taken to the Bluetooth setup assistant.  After a few seconds it showed me my ipad as one of the devices it had discovered.  Over on the ipad, though, it did not discover the desktop machine.
    After about a minute, I then selected the ipad from the list of devices on the desktop machine, and hit "continue".  At this point it said "attempting to pair with MyIpad", and "connection established".  At the same time, a panel popped up on my iPad, listing my desktop machines name, and asking for a PIN.  It is not clear to me whether it is asking for a PIN that I have supposedly set up on the desktop machine, or if it is asking me to establish a PIN.  So I quit.
    In any case, my goal in going through this attempt on the destop machine was solely to establish whether the bluetooth hardware is working on the ipad.  I believe that has to be true.
    So, can someone explain to me what steps I am *supposed* to go through to pair up two ipads over bluetooth?

  • Can I use more than one bluetooth device at a time with my iphone4

    Can I use more than one bluetooth device at a time with my iphone4

    Anthony
    I have a Plantronics 975 earpiece that works very well with my Razr.  I
    just got a Panasonic KX-TG7873S phone system for my home, it has a
    "Link-to-Cell" cellular convergence solution, from what I understand it is
    just Bluetooth enabled.  I have paired both device with my Razr.  In
    settings, Bluetooth setting, both device show.  But only one device can
    connect at a time.  If my Plantronics is connected and I choose the
    Panasonic device, the Plantronics device disconnects and the Panasonic
    device then says it is connected.  Both devices work when they
    are connected.  Is it because they are both "headsets"?
    So, to have to remember to connect to one or the other device, depending on
    weather I am coming or going is not practical.

  • How do I print from an Android device using bluetooth?

    You had purchased the Officejet Mobile 100 printer to print from your Android device using bluetooth.
    You have the devices paired with bluetooth, but do not see an option to print or the print button does not work in this case.
    Well, here is how this can be accomplished in Android.
    For this example, I will use the steps to print a photo.
    1.  Pair the devices.
    2.  Open a photo you want to print.
    3.  Select the share option (may say send using depending on the version of Android).
    4.  Select Bluetooth.
    5.  Select the printer from the list of devices.
    6.  The file will be sent to the printer.  You can check the notification area at the top to see how the progress is going.  It may take a few minutes for the sending to finish.
    7.  It should then print the photo.
    HP Bluetooth printers natively support the printing of photos only, but a third party app can be used to print documents and other items.
