What causes the 'bluetooth not available problem'?
I know how to fix it; delete the bluetooth prefs in the Byhost folder within preferences; and restart;
but what actually causes bluetooth to vanish and 'not be available'?
Im using a Sony bluetooth headphone DRBT50 and DRBT22. The phones seem reliable.
thanks
You say you have "tried an SMC." Reset the SMC nd PRAM again.
Barry
P.S. It is unlikely that the update had anything to do with the missing Bluetooth.

"Bluetooth: Not Available" problem created by software update; need help please?
I ran a regular software update as prompted by my iMac to get to 10.6.8, and now have "Bluetooth: Not Available" with squiggly line thru it. I've tried an SMC, updated software to 10.8.4...no availability of my Bluetooth to work the magic mouse, or any ability to access Bluetooth in System Preferences...help please?

What causes the Apple Notes to randomly be deleted from the note app?
My wife and I both have iPhone 5s. She is running 6.0.1 and I am running 6.1.3. We have both had notes just be deleted from our pre-installled notes app. Neither one of us have deleted these notes manually. I am synced to my iPad but she is not synced with any other device through the cloud. Can anyone help please? Thank you.
Obviously it's better to happen now, and I WILL exchange it. I'm just wondering what the cause it, since this is the 3rd time this has happened to me.
If you don't have an answer, that's okay too. Even the Apple "Geniuses" didn't know. -
What causes the "Can not index this document as its modified version is open in Acrobat" index error
(when building a full-text index with Acrobat Catalog, and when the PDF document referenced after each of these error messages in the catalog building log file is not open in neither Acrobat Standard nor in Acrobat Reader)
If you print to the Adobe PDF printer you are creating a PS file that is then automatically loaded into Distiller for conversion to PDF. Printing to a different PS file should not make a difference, unless the PS driver is substantially different. You can also print to file with the Aodbe PDF printer and then convert with Distiller (eliminating the automatic Distiller step). If you are printing to a network location, that may be the issue. Acrobat has long had problems with some network connections. To check this out, you might print locally and then move the file to the network drive.
In terms of posting a file, you have to put it on a separate server and then post the link. -
I got a early 2008 MAC PRO with additional wireless keyboard and mighty mouse few weeks ago.
Recently I keep encountering the "bluetooth not available" problem after software update (system reboot) if I have USB devices attached to the MAC PRO. Also, if I connect the Logitech quickcam ultravision directly to the MAC PRO, the bluetooth will have "not available" error after system reboot. If I connect the quickcam to the USB HUB, the problem won't happen.
This error happened again when I install the new Safari update while I have the keyspan USB-to-Serial connected to the MAC PRO.
I have all the latest updates installed in my MAC PRO. I don't know what happened, but I hope this problem can be fixed so that I don't have to keep unplugged all my USB equipment if I need to reboot my MAC PRO.Hi there,
I just had the exact same thing happen! I had my usb 2 flash stick and MyBook 320HD only. I then noticed that the MyBook wouldn't sleep even though the Mac was shut down. I had to force shut off the drive by removing the power lead. I restarted the Mac with no usb whatsoever and voila! All is now ok.. I wonder if this is connected with the motherboard power management?? -
My bluetooth is with the message, not available. What happened?

What do you mean you found no information? Was the window blank? Should look like this -

HT1338 Bluetooth: Not Available..What happen? How to resolve?
Recently my mouse lost its connection to my MacBook. Despite several restarts, the Bluetooth icon still noted that "Bluetooth: Not Available". Not sure what had happened. Anyone here can help me resolve this?
Open System Preferences > Bluetooth
Make sure On and Discoverable are selected.
And try deleting the .plist
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. -
The bookmark tab went from the right side to the left side. I did not change that. what cause the change from the right side to the left side? Also the the Mozilla Firefox tab on the upper left hand corner changed.
Its was a red colored tab and now its blue in color. I did not change any thing!Hey jimmiet,
There were some recent ui changes around the downloads manager. What version where you on before? Anyway, you can customize things in Firefox really easily. Take a look at [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars|this article on customizing Firefox]] for details. Should be a piece of cake to move the bookmarks button.
As for the color of the button, you might be in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing]] mode. That changes the color of the button from orange to a purplish color.

After downloading iOs 6.1.2 i was unable to play music aloud however im able to listen to it with my headphones in as well as my phone is still able to ring out loud what can i do to fix this? whats causing the problem?
You need to continue with the Recovery...
Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... After the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...
Restore from Backup

Bluetooth Not Available 10.7.2 2011 Intel iMac
Hi Guys,
I need a little advice whether I have a software issue or Hardware issue with my (May 2011) intel iMac (27")
When I got the new iMac I migrated from old iMac with Snow Leopard and had no bluetooth issues at all.
I upgraded to Lion in July and Bluetooth was OK, 10.7.1 update seemed ok until 2/3 weeks ago, 10.7.2 has had no fix.
This is the problem:
I have an Apple BT Keyboard, BT Magic Mouse & BT Magic Trackpad connected... all was ok untl 2/3 weeks ago.
Currently on the 'top bar' if I click on the BT icon, it says "Bluetooth: Not Available" ...... The BT icon itself has a 'jagged line' through it.
Bluetooth is not shown under System Preferences.. as if it does not appear on my iMac
Also if I check under 'System Information' and click on Bluetooth it says "No Information Found"
I have reset the PRAM and SMC & Verified and repaired HD several times.... all to no avail.
I have favourited the BT devices to the iMac allowed them to wake iMac etc, but does not offer a fix.
Over the last few days it magically comes back on for a while then cuts dead in the middle of 'work'.
What should my next step be?
Thank you very much in advance for any advice offered.
PS:
I have checked the Console.App and have a Kernel log file with these 'panics', I admit this log is way beyond me but if anyone understands it, I'd be grateful:

Was it a hardware problem? I'm seeing the same behaviour since yesterday (also on a mid 2011 iMac).
When I woke the iMac from sleep yesterday Bluetooth was "gone" - no connection to mouse and keyboard and the module had disappeared from System Preferences. I rebooted and the Mac booted itself into safe mode. I did a PRAM reset and that instantly solved the issue. But today I saw the exact same thing again, only that the Mac wouldn't even respond to my old USB mouse when I connected it. After a hard shutdown and restart everything seems fine… Bluetooth available and functioning. What the **** is going on here?
I just performed the Apple Hardware test and no problems were found.
I'm seeing some of the same errors in console you pasted, but only one line of each after a restart.
Strangely my keyboard was mentioned in the console logs and my mouse wasn't - so I will keep using a USB keyboard for now to see how it goes.
Anyway, I would really appreciate any advice - let me know how it turned out for you, if you get the chance. I don't want to bring the Mac to an ASP if it's not really necessary, the nearest one is more than an hour away from where I am….
Cheers -
IMac takes 4 minutes to boot up, bluetooth not available
Hello, this is my first post on Apple Discussions!
The day before yesterday we had quite a vicious storm here and lost power for about a minute. My Mac was switched on when the power cut out, but I was downstairs, having some lunch. Unfortunately, I have no surge protection on my power bar / extension cord thing (I know...). I immediately unplugged it, only turning it back on after the storm had calmed down.
Thinking nothing of it, I powered on my Mac and left it unattended for about 10 minutes (so I don't know how long it took to boot up!). When I came back, I was greeted by the login screen and proceeded as usual. However, the next time I powered on my computer, I could not get past the white screen after the chime (no Apple logo). Now, this has happened to me before, so I waited a couple of minutes. Nothing. I decided to power it down (holding down the power button) and try rebooting it, this time holding down the option key (to bring up the partitions), as this has helped me in the past. White screen for a couple of minutes. Impatient and annoyed, I powered it down again. Rebooted holding down the shift key, for Safe Mode. Nothing again. This time I left it on the white screen while I looked for an old USB keyboard, thinking my wireless keyboard might not have been pairing. Little did I know I would have to use this sh***y keyboard from this point forward.
So, I got my keyboard (remember I had left my Mac on the white screen) and when I returned I was pleasantly surprised to see the login screen. I noticed, however, that I could not use my wireless keyboard (I have a wired Razer mouse). So I plugged in the old PC keyboard I found, and logged in. Which is when I noticed the Bluetooth icon was strange; it was greyed out and had a jagged line through it, and when I clicked on it, said "Bluetooth: Not Available".
I restarted my Mac, just to see if the issues would be fixed. Nope. It took about four minutes to start up, and no Bluetooth. I checked the System Preferences and it says there is "No Bluetooth Hardware Found". "No information found" in System Information either.
The problem is that during the white screen on bootup (I always hear the chime btw), I have no control. I cannot enter Safe Mode, see the partitions, reset the NVRAM or PRAM. I just have to wait until I see the Apple logo after about four minutes. After login, everything (bar Bluetooth) seems fine. I have verified disk, and it says it's fine. Verified and repaired permissions as well. I looked and noticed that I have no com.apple.bluetooth.plist file in my library.
I don't know what to do from here! My extended Apple Care has expired Should I install Mavericks? Could that fix my problems? Or should I clean install ML, and then install Mavericks? But if the storm did do some damage, the issue is probably hardware... Please help me.
Thanks, and sorry for the length
PS. I have been having a little trouble with my finder since a while now (months). Sometimes, when I open a folder the CPU will shoot up to 100% and the Mac would freeze for a couple of seconds. Then it would be normal again. I have used up about 1.5 TB (including a Bootcamp partition) from my 2TB HDD. I doubt this is related, but I though I'd throw it in anyway. Again, I apologise for the length.Installing a new OS X over a problematic one will get you a new problematic OS X.
I suggest you run repair disk first. Then I would reset the SMC.
I "think" that some of your problems stem from the power problem you described. No surge protector is akin to (fill in the negative outcome blank). The lecture ends here.
IMHO, you have some hardware problem(s). I suggest you take the computer to an Apple store for diagnosis. Be sure to bring your documentation of the things above along.
