Windows 7 does not load the ipad bluetooth drivers

I am trying to connect my ipad 2 to a windows 7 computer and the computer will not load the ipad blutooth drivers so a connection is never made.

Hi Phil,
It's funny that you say that Reflector runs on Wifi and not Bluetooth. I thought the same thing and that's why I was having a difficult time with getting this to work...on top of the bluetooth drivers not installing properly.
When you initially connct your iPad device to your computer through bluetooth, your PC installs bluetooth drivers...you can see this by the little notifictaion you get that says this. Setting up your device...installing drivers. So you can't tell me that there are no iPad bluetooth drivers.
You have to enable bluetooth on your ipad to get to the mirroring icon. (double tap your home button and scroll to the left. The mirroring icon should be visible and only visible if you have bluetooth turned on. Now if you run Reflector, then you should see the name of your PC that you shared through Reflector. Then you click on the mirroring app on your iPad and select the shared name on your PC and slide the mirroring toggle button to turn it on.
I have tested this on another laptop running Windows 7 and everything installed perfectly fine...even the bluetooth drivers.
So my conlusion is that it is the bluetooth drivers at fault here, since they didnt install properly. No matter how many times I remove the device and readd it, the bluetooth drivers do not install and I see red x's beside them.
Not sure what is keeping the drivers from being installed.
BTW...thanks for your reply Phil...see posting to this year old thread did me some good as you replied
cheers,
Tom

    My app store does not load the featured apps. The screen remains empty everytime I open it.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Mail does not load the mail after opening with 10.10.3 on macbook air

    Mail does not load the mail after opening with 10.10.3 on macbook air

    Under Window in the Menu bar select Connection doctor. You will see green to indicate a connection and red to show there is a problem. Except for iCloud account you'll see two entries for each account 1) receiving and 2 SMTP for sending.
    If it's red, this usually means it's missing the password.
    For Incoming messages, set in the account window, under Account Information tab.
    For Outgoing (SMTP) messages, follow these steps:
    EDIT SMTP SETTINGS
    In Accounts window > Outgoing Mail Server SMTP:  select to Edit SMTP Server list... from popup.
    Select account in the list.(It's not uncommon to find extra SMTP servers listed. When you remove account, Mail does not delete the smtp info. You might need to do some clean up in the list to remove the extras.)
    Under Advanced Tab:
    Apple defaults to the default ports (25,465, 587) but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see what port they recommend. Gmail for example likes 465, Outlook.com 587.
    Verify if your server require SSL.
    User Name. Enter full email address  eg.  [email protected]
    Add password if it is blank.(If you have two step authentication setup, you'll need to get an app specific password  more info)
    Open Connection Doctor under Window in the Menu bar.
    Do you see green light now for your account SMTP?

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox does not fully load Barclaycard Authentication site. It loads as far as asking for certain letters in my pasword but does not load the "Submit" button so I cannot continue with my purchase and have to switch to IE8 browser to purchase anything ov

    Firefox does not fully load Barclaycard Authentication site. It loads as far as asking for certain letters in my pasword but does not load the "Submit" button so I cannot continue with my purchase and have to switch to IE8 browser to purchase anything over the internet. Any clues?
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == Couple of weeks ago

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is totally messed up by another program that you installed, and Barclays doesn't know you are using Firefox 3.6.6 - it probably looks like IE 6.0 to that website.
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',
    Then restart Firefox

  • Safari does not load the website

    Hi,
    I am running MAC OS X 10.4.7 using Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3).
    Ever since I started using this computer (1 week back) Safari just does not load the pages. The website that I am trying to load is http://www.apple.com/startpage/ or the default page of Safari as installed. This also happens with many other pages.
    The browser starts loading the page and the blue bar just stops mid way and nothing happens post that. I have waited for almost 20mins for it to load, however that never loads. If I press the Stop button, I do see the partial HTML thats loaded in the browser, but the page never loads completely.
    My internet connection is fast, since I am able to load the same page or any other page in FireFox with no problems.
    Can you please support me with what to look at to resolve this problem?
    Mac Book Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hi! Yes I have experienced similar difficulty with Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6). Although I am using Safari to browse this site now, it does seem prone to reject some sites. When it works it work beautifully. There must be a gremlin glitch in there somewhere!
    All I can suggest that that you switch to another browser such as Netscape 7.2 or Firefox to resolve this issue as and when it happens.
    Happy surfing!

  • TS1500 Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    Windows does not recognize the iPhone as existing, though iTunes can see it.

    I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
    He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause. Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
    In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
    Now, both issues are solved:
    Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
    iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone.

  • Pop-out window does not show the video

    I am having a video chat, but the pop-out window does not show the video when the main window is minimized. I have the latest version installed. The same problem happened once a few months ago (with the latest version installed).I searched online for quite a few days, but none of the solutions worked. Then one day the problem went away (mysteriously).   

    Do you have this issue with all your contacts or only contacts using Skype on a Mac computer?

  • Swf does not load the images on the web

    I made a swf that works perfectly on my computer.
    The swf does not load the images, cal with the buttons, when I use the swf on the web.
    I think the problem is due to the fact that the web changes the path of the file, that is called with the following variable:
    var ImmageUrl: String = "MyFolder2 /" +  MynamePic +  ".jpg";
    The path is C:/MyFolder1 "(with the swf)" /MyFolder2 "(with the pics)"
    Any hint ?
    Thank you.

    When you place an swf in a web page, any files that the swf loads have to be targeted as if the swf is sitting in the same folder as the html page.  If you have the swf in a different folder than the html page, then you need to adjust the paths for the files it loads so that it acts as if it is in the html page's folder.

  • T60 hard drive replacement - Windows does not recognize the hard drive

    Hello All, new to the Lenovo Community. I have a T60 as well as newer Lenovo Edge. The HD crashed on the T60 and it will no longer boot. I just purchased a WD 500GB without doing a lot of research. In trying to install Windows 7 (I had already upgraded the T60) it will not recognize the new drive - Windows does not see the drive at all. Is there a way to get the Lenovo to recognize the WD drive? Thank you in advance for any help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Glad I was able to help.
    Just be careful, the usual "if it doesn't fit, find a bigger hammer" doesn't apply to this model laptop.
    Also, there is a part available to adjust the frustration level, I don't happen to have the FRU number available, but I do have a photo and I'm sure you can find a local shop to provide it. Any experienced vendor should be able to match up a similar item from this photo.
    It comes in many varieties, this model has a handy extention to aid in installation so you can easily do it with one hand. Others may require two hands to safely install. Use care when installing, one slip can destroy your laptop. Acute abuse can lead to severe embarassing situations and cronic abuse can have impact on your health, so use wisely and always get a spare to share with a friend. They tend ot come conviently packaged in quantity of 6, so you can invite a few friends over.

    If you are connected wirelessly it is possible to have full bars, but your wireless router connection to the Internet could be the problem.  Try restart your router. 

  • Firefox 26 does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session (and that includes all the tabs). It does not matter how Firefox is closed.

    Firefox 26 does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session, irrespective of what has been entered in "Options". The browser is running in Win 7.0 64-bit; Norton Internet Suite 21 provides the security functions. There are certain "cloud" solutions also running such as Google Drive, Box, Skydrive and Cubby. The browser behaves similarly in all my machines (the setup and OS is similar to the one described above) and no amount of resetting of "Options" seems to affect it . Nor is it affected by the manner Firefox is closed. It is obviously a bug that needs to be fixed.

    u wait for firefox next update
    otherwise
    1. go to firefox tab .
    2. click on help ->trouble shooting information.
    3. reset ur browser .
    ur problem is solved
