Q: Bluetooth not recognized?
I have recently encountered a number of problems on my powerbook beginning with the display going bad; it's going into the shop next week and I have been backing up data and cloning the operating system, double checking, etc.
Everything was pretty much done when I recloned the system back onto the powerbook. When I did that, I first found I was unable to make a connection via firewire to my powerMac which I was preparing for use while the laptop is in the shop. Until I recloned back, there was no problem with the powerbook recognizing what was on the network.
But more bizarre things began happening like my WACOM tablet would not connect because, the message stated, I have no bluetooth hardware installed. I checked the profile and sure enough, bluetooth reads, only, "no information found," rather than the information that was once listed there. Further, TextEdit will not launch at all, and even more weird, my keyboard "r" key refuses to work 90% of the time.
HELP!!!!! PLEASE
Any suggestions are welcome.
