X230 Cannot connect bluetooth device

Hi All,
I know other people have posted similar issues but this one doens't match any other so I'll ask the community for help.
I have an X230 running WinXP, and I cannot find a way to add a Bluetooth device to the computer.
The latest bluetooth driver for XP is installed. The Bluetooth is enabled in the BIOS.
The Bluetooth icon is in the systray. It is Red.
All I can do is right click on it - it says "Bluetooth Device not found".
In My Computer, the My Bluetooth places icon doesn't do anything when I click it other than create a shortcut on my Desktop.
When I click the Desktop shortcut, it only runs a Bluetooth file transfer wizard sugessting Bluetooth is working.
I cannot find an add device bluetooth wizard anywhere. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Solved!

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that you are not able to use Bluetooth in your Lenovo ThinkPad X230.
Make sure that you have turned on the physical switch to turn on the Wireless connections.
Install hotkey drivers and turn on wireless connections using FN+F5.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

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?

Canopus 110 and the dreaded "Cannot connect to device" msg

I am using Premiere Elements 2.0 with the Canopus 110 to make copies of my HI-8 and Beta tapes, and getting increasingly frustrated with the way PE 2 drops my temporary file and forces me to start the whole copy over again from the beginning every time I get the "Cannot connect to device" error. It occurred to me that maybe later versions of PE have fixed this problem. It seems simple enough -- when I press 'Stop Capture' the temporary file instantly becomes permanent, so why not when I get a momentary interruption in the signal? It would be worth $100 to me to upgrade to PE 6 or 7 or whatever the latest version is.
So, my question is directed toward others who are plagued by this irritating message: Do the later versions of PE 'save' what has already been recorded?
Thanks!

'Stop capture on dropped frames' was already turned off. You gave me an idea, however. I will turn it ON and see if that solves my problem (if Capture must be aborted, I want PE2 to save what has already been captured).
I had not heard of WinDV and was quite impressed. Only a 38K download, and it works right out of the box! Now to try recording and see what it does when the connection is interrupted.
Two good ideas -- thanks, both of you!

I cannot connect bluetooth between an iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.

I cannot connect bluetooth between an iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4S. Any reasons this might be happening? Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thank you.

To access iCloud all your iPhone needs is iOS 5 or later and an Internet connection, either via cell service or WiFi. Then just set up iCloud with the same Apple ID and password you've been using on your iPhone 4.
You might want to consider just getting your iPhone 4 replaced by Apple. Based on the prices I've seen for iPhone 3GS units, Apple's replacement price isn't that much more, and you'll be certain of getting a working, non-hacked iPhone. Apple's replacement price for the iPhone 4 is US $149.

Bluetooth problem - Cannot Connect to Device that is not copyright protected SCMS-T Method

I have a Qosmio X875-5280 which has a bluetooth adapter. I also have a bluetooth device which is an adapter for a Bose Sounddock such that the device allows the Sounddock to receive the bluetooth audio stream from the laptop -- at least that is how it worked until recently. Diagnostics show that both the bluetooth adapter and the bluetooth device are working. When trying to connect to the device, I now get "connection failed" message or the message "You cannot connect to a device that is not copyright protected by SCMS-T method." It seems the Toshiba bluetooth stack is responsible for this, however, I fail to see why a device which is acting like headphones fails to connect now. I have Windows 7 64 installed. I have uninstalled all of the bluetooth drivers and re-installed them several times. Attached is a pdf file which shows all messages and settings relevant to the issue.

HT4623 what do you do when iTunes cannot connect to device

I keep getting the message that itunes cannot connect to my device when I try to sync up my ipad to my imac. This even happens when I am directly connected to the imac.
any suggestions?

I made the mistake of renaming my iPad between synchs and it got the error "iTunes could not connect to this iPad. Could not save the pairing record." Renamed it back to what it was before, which was just iPad and was able to clear the error.
I realize your post is from a while back, but I believe we are going to start seeing this problem again.

Cannot remove bluetooth devices in iOS 8

In bluetooth settings, I am trying to remove a bluetooth device using iOS 8 on an iPhone 5; however, when I select the device, "Forget This Device" is greyed out and unavailable. I have done some searching and found that this can happen with jailbroken phones, but mine is not jailbroken. I now have two devices that are in my iPhone bluetooth settings that have this issue: my iMac and my iPad.
Anyone else seeing this or knows of a fix?

I just found a solution that worked for me by disabling Handoff in both my iMac and my iPhone.
For OSX:
System Preferences → General and scroll down. Uncheck Allow Handoff between this Mac and iCloud devices
In iOS:
Go to Settings → General, scroll down and turn off the switch for Enable Handoff
I was then able to select forget for the desired bluetooth devices, and then switch Handoff back on.

How can I get the battery level of a connected Bluetooth device on my iPhone 4S?

My Bluetooth device is the Merkury Hexagon Bluetooth speaker, I want to know how to get the its battery level, In the manual, it says there: "Speaker battery indicator will show right on your media device (iOS support only)
Additional details:
- I have the latest iOS
- Not jailbroken
- The speaker doesn't have a "battery indicator" on it

this is not a build in part of any bluetooth profiles so to get that feature one needs third party software from the maker of the bluetooth device installed on the device in question
so maybe you should look for apps made for mercury hexagon in app store?

I just updated to a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my ITunes along with most of my programs from my previous MacBook. I then tried to update my iPhone and iPad and was informed I cannot connect these devices to my iTunes. How do I fix this?

I updated to a new MacBook Pro and transferred my iTunes along with many of my programs.
I just tried to connect my iPad and my iPhone to my new computer and was told I cannot connect any longer. How do I fix this?

Perhaps you would post the exact message?
And when exactly did you receive this message?

Connecting bluetooth device to mac

I have Sennheiser M450-X bluetooth headpones, a mac book pro running osx 10.8.2 and an iphone 4S running ios 6.1.3. I have paired my headphones with my mac fine and they work as expected. When my mac is turned off I have my headphones also paired with my iphone. The problem is when I have my headphones connected to my iphone then I want to listen to my mac, I dissconnect my headphones from my iphone then try to connect them to my mac. They don't connect with my mac, the only way I can get the headphones to connect to the mac is to delete the pairing on my mac and pair them again. Surely there must be an easier way. Please help.
I understand if this question would be better asked on the sennheiser website.

There seems to be no "connect" button on the bluetooth system preferences window on mac. Whereas on iphone you can tap the device name to connect.

Cannot add bluetooth device

Cannot seem to add a Bluetooth Audio device in Yosemite. Neither in Bluetooth Preferences not up in the toolbar do I see an option to add a new device ?
Any hint ?

So it looks like I have found a solution to this problem. There is no "Add devices" button anywhere, but if you put your BT device like a headset into pairing mode it will appear in the System Preferences > Bluetooth space with a "Pair" button.
This solved it for me.

Java ME SDK 3.0-"Cannot connect to device manager" on port 1299 error HELP!

Hello,
I am running Vista 32 bit. I just downloaded the Java ME sdk 3.0. It installed "successfully". I just tried to launch it several times and it gets stuck in the error below. In summary, something about "Connection refused to host: localhost; DeviceManagerConnection error". Why am I getting that error? This is the first time I installed this.
I run netstat -an, and nothing shows that something is taking up my 1299 port. Also "ping localhost" returns ::1:. And my hosts file looks good. Windows Defender and Firewall are both off. Does anyone have had this issue in the past? If so, please kindly let me know how you resolved it. Thank you.

Hi there,
I believe I am having the problem reported by the first person in this thread.
In fact, I installed NetBeans and ran a Java ME sample and it gave me the following error
Jad URL for OTA execution: http://localhost:8082/servlet/org.netbeans.modules.mobility.project.jam.JAMServlet/C%3A/Users/Afamefuna/Documents/NetBeansProjects/CurrencyConverter3/dist//CurrencyConverter3.jad
Starting emulator in execution mode
+{color:#ff0000}*C:\Users\Afamefuna\Documents\NetBeansProjects\CurrencyConverter3\nbproject\build-impl.xml:889:*{color} Execution failed with error code 1.+
BUILD FAILED (total time: 26 seconds)
Of course, I went to the file but the stipulated line didn't make much sense. Eventually, I seperately installed Java(TM) ME Platform SDK 3.0, but when I doubled clicked on its icon to open it, the initial splashscreen showed up, but when the progress bar got to "+{color:#ff0000}starting modules....{color}+", it gave me a java.net.ConnectionException error.
When I went to the generated log file, amongst other things, it also contained the following snippet
+Connecting to service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/*{color:#ff0000}rmi://localhost:1299/device-manager{color}< </strong>[ 23398] ERROR - un.jme.toolkit.bootstrap.Batch - Problem calling start() on DeviceManagerConnection java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException+

+ at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39)+
+ at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)+
From the above I can only imagine there is a problem with the device manager set-up for SDK, but how can it be solved?
The device manager icon shows up in the windows toolbar, however, the "device manager" menu choice is greyed out.
This same problem was replicated in my friend's PC, so I am certain this has to do with low-grade packaging/programming from the vendor end.
Please how do I solve this problem? I am hoping that solving one problem, resolves the other.
thanks

Nokia 6230i, cannot connect bluetooth phone to pc

I have just brought a 6230i, i have paired my pc and my phone, and i can transfer from the pc to the phone, but i cannot transfer from my phone to the pc via bluetooth, it comes up with no devises found, eventhough its paired. My network is o2.

Dear All
I updated my BlueSoleil software as well, whilst I was at it - now 2.1.3 - but the problem seems to have been assigning a com port to bluetooth - I have now done this, and managed to back up my 6230 to the PC and restore the majority of stuff to my 6230i - thankfully including all contacts information and calenda info, exactly as it was. This has saved me hours !
Many thanks to you all for helping me with this.
