Bluetooth device not no projection in sound-> output

My bluetooth (speaker) device indicates 'Connected' in the list of bluetooth devices (in preferences-> Bluetooth system).

However, I don't see it as an option when I go to Preferences-> sound-> release system.

Any thoughts why? This has worked in the past, but not at the moment. I have not tried to restart my machine.

Hi JVogue,

Looks like you are unable to select your bluetooth device paired as a source of audio output to system preferences. I would start by pairing not your device:

Remove a device from your Mac

If you want to remove (désapparier) a device from the list of devices on your Mac, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Bluetooth.
  2. Place the pointer on the device you want to remove, and then click the button which appears next to the device name.

Note: After you delete a Bluetooth device, you need to repeat the pairing process, if you want to use again.

From: using a Bluetooth mouse, keyboard or trackpad with your Mac

When that is done, start in safe mode. This will clear some system-level caches and perform a disk check and repair if necessary:

Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

From: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

Once you log in safe mode, that's all you need to do there, then restart your computer as usual using Apple > restart. Pair the device again, and then check that you can select as output. Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, all the best!

  • X121e Bluetooth device not detected

    Hello, I just got a new Thinkpad X121e (the one with 1.3 GHz i3 CPU). I tried to get the Bluetooth in Windows 7, but the driver gives me an error message during the installation my Bluetooth device is not detected. Bluetooth is enabled in the Bios. Everything else, including WiFi, works without problem. What kind of device is built in this kind of Thinkpad's Bluetooth? Are there other measures I could try to fix this?

    I found the solution: the necessary tool is included in the "lenovo power management. Now I turn on Bluetooth with Fn + F5 and it works as expected. Also when you use the ThinkVantage System Update software, it was possible to install the Bluetooth tools when Bluetooth is turned off. Which was not possible, by directly downloading the Bluetooth software.

  • Bluetooth device not detected - HP Pavilion G6-1139TX

    Yesterday (January 7, 2012), I bought a HP Pavilion G6-1139TX. I installed Windows 7 (32 bit). Everything installed properly, but the system does not detect the Bluetooth device. When I try to install the software/driver Bluetooth that is "Broadcom 2070 Bluetooth", it gives me error "No. BLUETOOTH DEVICE CONNECTED/DETECTED" and abandonment of the installation. Same Bluetooth switch is on. In Device Manager there is a yellow question mark with the code "BCM20702A0". Please guide me what is the problem and how to fix this problem. What's the problem in hardware or something else?  For your information, a Wi - Fi connection works correctly.

    I had the same problem Bro too. Here's what I did,

    Google code as 'BCM20702A0 driver '. Then try to catch the driveridentifier site link (sorry bro m not at home to provide you with exact link.m via my phone right nw.) Just saw your message and Thoth to answer with what I know). Then, there will be a link to download not only bcm2070 pilot but also any blutooth broadcom drivers.

    * Download the package. It will be like 100-150 mb. CNT remember exactly. And don't forget to check that your hardware ID list. You can get that from Device Manager. And neglect even if the site mentioned another computer brand.not hp.
    * install the pack, and then restart the laptop.
    * After this, return to Device Manager and go to the properties of the bluetooth driver. (the one with the yellow exclamation point. I hope you know how to do and do not forget to activate the wireless cnction otherwise it wouldn't show up there)

    * in the Properties window, go to the update driver and click on the button browse my computer for driver.
    Then select bluetooth, then broadcom adapters and I remember select bluetooth 3.0 HS... blah... blah... it will be a lot like that. But try to choose a simple. It still works.
    * to transfer files, I s\u0026 an incompatibility with the windows utility. Then first pair your device. Then use Obex Commander. Its a free app and I find it more useful to use.

    That's it bro.

  • ThinkPad W520 Win7 Bluetooth device not recognized by Windows 7

    Hi all

    Just got my Thinkpad W520 4270 CTO with bluetooth installed. It was a work station BACK I installed Win 7 x 64 Ultimate on and I finally got all the drivers installed, but the bluetooth software says it is no BT device connected to my laptop. I checked the BIOS settings and confirmed that the BT is enabled. I even turned off, saved, then he helped turn. Hit the Fn + 5 combo does not trigger the light or no matter what 'Found New Hardware'. When the laptop starts first BT light flashes and the wifi led and the HARD drive activity light. I was not yet able to load another OS, but I download Arch Linux and BackTrack 5 to test to see that it is perhaps a problem with OS.

    Thoughts or ideas would be useful, it seems that my Google-Fu me has missed as well.

    EDIT: I realize in the sticky on the "do not update the bluetooth drivers" but I do not get my bluetooth to work at all, not even recognized by the operating system as an "unknown device".

    I thought about it. It is ridiculously easy. Download the drivers for the keyboard shortcut key and install. It allow you to use the functions at the top of your keyboard, and then after reboot, press Fn + F5 and will you will get a menu to activate the Bluetooth on the operating system, then Win7 should detect and install the drivers for it, or you can download those from the Lenovo site.

  • USB 2.0 Bluetooth DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED - Equium A100-147

    Hi all!!!

    I have posted b4 about my problems of BT, but still no further forward.

    I have a 2.0 usb toggle universl BT, my last worked well until it broke.

    Since I had xp pro installed, but my USB does not recognize my rocking do not even have a pop up? any ideas.

    When I plug it 3 fast Dong

    Unplug and made 2 Dong

    I tried to install the drivers usb, but nothing.

    do my head now... Please someone help me resolve this issue!

    As far I know Equium A100-147 doesn t support the internal BT module and so if it was not equipped with the BT Toshiba stack.

    If you use an external 3rd party module BT, then you should check if there are drivers designed specially for this external BT dongle.

    Also, check if the BT dongle would be recognized in the Device Manager.
    If there is no dongle BT listed in the list of devices, then remove all controllers and hubs of UBS in the list and restart the device.
    After rebooting again Win XP should initialize the USB ports again and then you try to plug the dongle BT again.

    Good luck

  • DAQmx device not no projection in LabView 2009

    Hello

    I have a USB-6501 that im trying to use with LabView 2009. It is installed and appears in MAX, however when I try to access them through LabView its not registered when I try to set the physical channel of the DAQms create channel vi. The whole device is missing.

    Anyone had this problem or have any idea what im doing wrong?

    As I thought... your constant physical channel is filtered to only HAVE. Please change the top right and select «IO name filtering...» ».

    In the dialog box change the Type of IO to digital input. Now you should find the 65xx device.

    Note that the parameter for filtering of IO is determined during the creation of the constant/control. So if you created when the DAQmx chain has been set for AI voltage (default), the name of IO filtering is I. This will not change simply because you reconfigure the DAQmx create channel...
