Volume for bluetooth devices not working

I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones and since updating to Yosemite 10.10.3, I have not been able to control the volume of them with the volume keys on the keyboard or the volume in the menu bar 99% of the time. I have once gotten it to work and have no idea what I did for it to work. If I take the volume all the way to 0, it does mute the audio and the mute key still works as well.
Changing the volume manually in individual apps (such as with the slider in Spotify or in a youtube video) works but thats only when I use the mouse to move the volume slider.
I've done some searching around and it seems like Yosemite has numerous Bluetooth issues... I even had the horrendous screeching noise in 10.10.2 but that seems to be fixed now.
Mid 2009 Macbook Pro 5,3

I cheated and installed Windows 7 RC. ^.^
But something you can do is:
Click on the Start menu
In the search bar look up 'Services'
Open up Services
Double click 'Bluetooth Services'
In the 'Log On' tab check to see if 'Local Service' or 'Use This Account' is highlighted
If 'Local Service' is selected then you're SOL and you're best bet is to re-install Windows. That's what was selected on mine and no matter what Account I set it to Bluetooth would not work. I even tried re-installing the Apple drivers from the OS X disc.
But if 'Use This Account' is selected than I would look into the normal Bluetooth settings, as the problem is most likely there. You can also call MS and have them screen share with you, the guy I talked to said if 'Use This Account' was selected he could do more for me.
Anyways hope this helped a bit.

Bluetooth Device not working anymore...

Hi,
I had been using this thinkpad machine from 2010. Everything was workign fine. But I don't know what and where something went wrong. THE BLUETOOTH DEVICE STOPPED WORKING.
The light on the panel of machine turns off for a couple of seconds when the machine is turned on but after that the light is turned off and it never come back on unless or untill next start. (the light of BLUETOOTH device is turned on even before something appears on the screen).
When I try to install drivers it asks to check the device is connected properly etc, but neither I can install the driver nor it is useable.
Please help me.
thanks
Regards

Your Bluetooth device inside your computer seems to be turned off. Press Fn + F5 key and see if your Bluetooth Radio is turned on.

VN7-791G bluetooth devices not working after Windows 10 upgrade

After upgrading to Windows 10 on my 2 month old Acer VN7-791G, my Logitech bluetooth mouse could not pair, my bluetooth speakers could not pair and neither could by Nexus 7. All these devices were working fine on Win 8.1 earlier. Under Device Manager, only the generic Windows Bluetooth, Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and LE Enumerator drivers were showing (dated 21/6/2006). Under Network adapters, the driver showing was the Qualcomm Atheros QCA64x4 ver 10.0.0.62 dated 18/5/2015. I checked that this model is indeed compatible under ACER's website for Windows 10. I have also been checking the ACER drivers for Win 10 for this model but there are no new updated ones for Bluetooth. I downloaded the Win 8.1 ones and installed them but they still would not work (the Microsoft ones are still showing under Device Manager). I had to actually downgrade back to 8.1 a few days ago due to this issue but thought I would try to update to Windows 10 again hoping it would work but still no luck. I had googled but can't seem to find a solution and suspect that I need an updated bluetooth driver for Windows 10 from Acer or Broadcom. The Atheros website do not have any Windows 10 bluetooth drivers as well. I may have to downgrade again and try again in a few months time unless someone could please point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Yay! Success at last! Well, I had to resort to drastic measures which I was dreading and delaying. Basically, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 Then Reset PC to Factory Setting. This wiped out all data and applications/programs After getting back to default Windows 8.1, I tried pairing my bluetooth mouse and it worked I then immediately installed Windows 10 (from ISO file downloaded earlier) off a USB stick I chose the option for a clean install (this doesn't load any of the ACER bloatware) Once logging into Windows 10,I went into Device Manager and uninstalled all Bluetooth drivers Then I ran the setup for the Windows 8.1 Atheros bluetooth drivers as suggested - "LITE-ON Bluetooth_M 3rd WiFi 2x2 AC+ BT M.2 QCA NFA344_3.0.0.373_W81x64" I tried pairing my mouse and Nexus 7 and it works!!! For reference, here is my setup under Windows 10 after successfully pairing bluetooth devices. btw, interesting to see that the event log still reports some error about further installation just like earlier - probably indicates that the Win 8.1 Acer drivers are not 100% compatible yet.

Save for web & devices not working (CS4)

I noticed today that I can't save for web & devices any more. when I try it shuts down the program and gives me the following message to send a crash report:
Adobe has detected that the application Adobe Illustrator CS4 has unexpectedly quit.
this started as a Photoshop CS4 problem where I also can't save for web & devices any more. before people jump down my throat again for mentioning this Photoshop problem on the Illustrator forum - this is for context only. I have the same problem in both applications. I just include this information here in case it helps. the Photoshop message I get is:
The operation can not be completed.
savign for web & devices worked totally fine up till last night in Photoshop. haven't saved anything out of Illustrator for web & devices in a while but it used to work just fine.
I have a PC and use Windows 7. All my Adobe products are up-to-date.
Any help is much appreciated. Thx a lot!

thank you very much. at least it happened before. I was seriously doubting myself. tried trashing preference files multiple times, but that didn't help. will reinstall everything and see if that does the trick.
thanks again!

1080p for Apple Devices not working in Compressor

Was happy to see the new settings for the ATV3 in Compressor, but it doesn't work. I keep getting a qucktime error -108 about a third of the way into processing. Plenty of memory is showing in Activity Monitor.
I've tried both a short and long movie, with quickcluster turned on and off, both fail.
I've tried all the suggested fixes I can find. Reinstalling Compressor, Stop/Starting/Resetting sharing, deleting preferences.
The same movies work fine with the previous Apple TV/Device settings.
Share from FCPx to ATV3 works, but it extremely slow for the longer movies, and I want to use Compressor and the quickcluster.
Is anyone else having this problem.

Some people (including me) have reported flakey changes in sharing after updating. (My issues, however, were broader than just Apple Device presets.)
If I understand your description correctly, sharing is working – just not for one preset – so it's questionable whether it's even Qmaster-related.
You've already tried the fixes I would have suggested – except you might also try Digital Rebellion's Compressor Repair.
Finally, take a look at this thread and see whether David's method works for you.
Good luck.

Save for Web & Devices Not working

I am in the middle of creating a new web page using CS5 - sliced the components of the page and saved via Web and Devices as an html page.
Now when I want to go and save an ordinary jpg to post on my blog,via Web and Devices it only gives me the option of saving as an html file and there are no options to save as jpg or any other format.
Any clues as to how to reset the Save for Web and Devices setting so I can save in any other format other than html?

Or does anybody have a solution to the problem. If So please help me its driving me demented seriously concidering to go to android for that sort of stuff cause of the dame restrictions on apple devices!

iOS devices do not pair with computers, as data transfer over bluetooth is not supported.
Computers are not airplay compatible unless you have downloaded an app to make them so.
User to user forum, so I don't care if you switch to android or any other threats you make.

Bluetooth speakers not working on kindle fire HD 7...

I have a kindle fire HD 7" and bluetooth is not working for in-call audio
When the device is paired with my bluetooth speakers, the sounds of the volume changes and other gui clicks go out over the bluetooth speakers but the actual audio of the skype video call still go via the kindle's builtin speakers.
NOTES:
- I made sure to connect to bluetooth speaker before starting skype.
- Other applications are working with my bluetooth speakers (e.g. playing music, spotify radio, etc)

I have a reply from Amazon on this issue and have used the contact details they provided to contact Skype BUT with NO response!!!! Why oh why do Skype ignore its users??????
Amazon respnse:
Thank you for contacting Amazon Appstore Support.
I'm sorry to hear that you have had issues using your Bluetooth speaker with Skype.
There is an explanation for this, however, I must warn you that it is a bit technical.
Apps on the Kindle Fire play audio through one channel which does support Bluetooth audio. Device sounds on the Kindle Fire play audio through a different channel which does not support Bluetooth.
Now the problem is that when the developers of Skype created Skype for Kindle Fire they routed the sound through the device sound channel opposed to the Apps channel.
This means that that Skype does not support Bluetooth speakers.
As the app was not developed by Amazon, you may want to contact the developer of the app, Skype Software, for product support and troubleshooting.
I've provided the contact information below:

I do apologise for the inconvenience.
Thanks for your interest in Amazon Appstore.

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!

Bluetooth is not working with Windows 8.1 on U410 touch

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
I went to device manager and checked under bluetooth: Intel (R) Centrino Wireless Bluettoth 4.0 + High Speed. Microsoft Bluettoth Enumator, Microsoft Bluetooth LE enumarator all 3 are up to date.
Then I went to network connections (from the start) and i have a red cross under Bluettoth network connection 2 and says not connected.
My windows is also up to date
I really think gooing back to Windows 8 since i cannot listen to my music on my beatbox and connect to my phone and tablet,
Thank you for your help

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.
Sample picture
Let me know your findings.

Bluetooth is not working in Iphone 4s

I am using Iphone 4s. Bluetooth is not working. it is not identifiying or identified by other phones / Laptop

That is correct. This has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad.
Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, telephone handsfree devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps form the app store and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.
Other than this it will not connect to any other phones/computers/devices
