HOW PAIR/CONNECT A BLUETOOTH SPEAKER FOR LAPTOP/PC/WINDOWS 7 COMPUTER SOLVED...

Bought a Bletooth long time speaker, it's good for what it is and managed to get coupled with all my other devices - tablet, phone but have never been able to connect it to my laptop Sony Vaio - always pair then would never be able to connect to it. Here's how I managed to do work...

I decided to start over and delete all Bluetooth devices and start again.
Make sure you have your computer Bluetooth on
Down in the bottom right toolbar right-click on Bluetooth icon
Click on join a personal area network
Opens a new window in devices and printers
Turn on your Bluetooth speaker to find out the mode of
Click on add a device
Your speaker should appear
DO NOT CLICK NEXT...
AT LA PLACE A MESSAGE SHOULD APPEAR IN THE TOOLBAR SAYING THAT ASKS A DEVICE TO CONNECT
CLICK ON THIS MESSAGE
It will then ask you to add a matching number to connect (add the number by default if your speaker has a refer to the manual)
In this case the XMI X-Mini WE does not come with one so I put in 0000
Worked!
Paired
Now click Start - devices and printers, and you should see the XMI X-Mini US speaker
Right click and click on the control
Click on connect...
Combined BOOM and work
Don't know how or why his works but I have one now listening to music through my Bluetooth speaker.

Now I have now, it may not work for everyone, but it was driving me nuts and hope that it works at least for some...

  • [Win8] Grayed out Bluetooth switch

    Hello
    I bought recently an ASUS K55VJ-SX176H and, unfortunately, I can not activate bluetooth function. Initially it yet showed the bluetooth switch in the category wireless settings.

    So, I ran "Asus Live Update", thinking that the new updates include the latest bluetooth driver. With no results, I checked ASUS website and installed driver Atheros BlueTooth (V8.0.0.214), who made the switch to appear, but grayed out. I tried the other two, and again, it was useless. I have down can't know what I can do.

    If someone could help me, I would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Phil_Y.

    But I don't want to mess with the material already. Warranty is not finished yet, so I would consult rather Asus to do it myself.

    Hello

    More details would be appreciated.
    What model phone you have and what system is installed on this laptop?

    If the laptop supports Bluetooth and if you have not changed anything in the configuration, you should be able to activate the Bluetooth using one of the function keys.
    Please see the user manual that affects function would enable the BT

    Also new driver BT / battery installation would be necessary in the event that the BT connectivity would not work as it should
    Atheros WLan / BT card requires the installation of the filter driver Atheros BT package.
    It is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver.

    Of course, depending on your Windows system, other software (VAP for Win 7 or a system driver to Win 8.1) must be installed too.

    Hello dogsandcats,
    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your message that you are not able to activate location Services within the parameters of security and privacy on your Mac. I know how it is important for you to be able to turn on location Services. When you go to System Preferences, then Security & Privacy, make sure you click on the padlock at the bottom left and type your admin password. Then you should be able to turn on location Services.

    On location in OS X and Safari Services

    Activation of location Services

    Follow these steps to turn on location services in Mountain Lion OS X or later

    1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu.
    2. Click the Privacy & Security icon in the System Preferences window.
    3. Click the Privacy tab.
    4. If the icon of padlock in the lower left corner is locked (), click on it and enter an admin name and password to unlock ().
    5. Select location Services.
    6. Check the box "enable location services".

    Best regards.

  • I have a song on my device that is grayed out. How can I remove it?

    In the "On My Device" section in iTunes there is a song on it is gray. I want to remove it but it does not meet clicks.

    How to sober up so I can remove it?

    I looked through my phone and my account settings. I even tried downloading the album once again, but that didn't work.

    iPhone 4S OS. 9.2.1 (13D 15)

    iTunes 12.1.3.6 64-bit

    The following steps should solve the problems around the synchronization, assuming that all the content you want in your library.

    (If it isn't see recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device)

    1. Backup device.
    2. Restoration as a new device.
    3. Restore the backup that you made earlier.

    NB. A feature introduced with iOS 9 called thinning or slicing app app allows each device to download just the code and resources required by this device, resulting in smaller downloads and a better use of the storage on the device. Therefore the device is no longer the universal version of the application that can be installed on any device to transfer applications is no longer supported. You can however download past purchases to iTunes and/or to activate Automatic app downloads buy to make sure iTunes has always the apps you want on your device. Another change to the way the restorations are implemented means that all private data app is restored and apps that are not in the library are waiting for download on the iTunes Store on Wi - Fi, in a similar way to the restoration of the iCloud way works. Not having apps in your library is not the disadvantage that it once was, but you're still at risk of losing a favored app if it is removed from the Bank and you don't have a local copy.

  • RAW Device Mappings is grayed out

    Hello everyone.  I'm a noob EXSi/VMware, so I'm a little out of my comfort zone.  I have a Supermicro motherboard with an onboard SAS controller which is supported in EXSi 6.  I have eight 4 TB drives, attached to the SAS HBA and 2 connected to the integrated SATA SSDS.  I was able to add all readers as warehouses of data and that works very well.  But I need to devote several full discs on a virtual computer and I have not been able to get this working as RDM option is grayed out any virtual machine, I try.  Tried to remove one of the hard drives for data warehouses (missing) but I still don't see it as an option (and now I can not see it when I try to add back as a data store but that's another issue).

    I did research on this question and I tried to disable the RDMFILTER option in the advanced settings and no go.  I tried to run the process in article KB 1017530 (Raw Device Mapping for Local storage, I get the following error:)

  • Why save for Web and devices is grayed out?

    I have Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS X Lion mountain. PS works fine, until today. On some images, I work with, file > save for Web and devices is grayed out. In addition, to save money, the options are extremely limited. It is obvious that I inadvertently clicked on something that caused this, but I just can't understand that.

    I took a screenshot of Photoshop with a test image (test.psd), whose resolution is 72px, RGB, 32 bit, appearance save for Web and devices greyed out. And a screenshot of the Save as dialog box.

    Is the first screenshot to http://eastbrookwind.com/screen-shot.jpg

    Right. You work in 32 bits per channel. Change your bit depth.

  • Left/right rotation is always grayed out in the device Simulator

    If I run my application in Air Debug Launcher (Mobile), "turn to the left" and "turn right" options in the menu of the device are still grayed out, regardless of whether the publication settings have enabled auto-orientation. This is what prevents the orientation test code. Anyone know a solution?

    More, I found (via a textfield, the current focus of the statement) that my AIR application does not throw the guidelines 'default' or 'upside down' on my device (Asus Transformer to infinity). Only, he throws "left turn" and "turn right". Anyone know of a solution for that?

    Thank you!

    The rotation buttons are enabled only in 'ANY' l report mode / h and auto guides set to true. For other values of aspect ratio, the orientation of the stage must stay in one of the directions specified by the aspect ratio and therefore should not turn.

    There are a few possibilities: the SaveForWeb plugin is missing, the document is not 8-bit RGB or the document is much bigger than SaveForWeb can manage.
