Mac Pro Bluetooth

hello, I am going to buy a mac pro tomorrow. I am looking to buy the wireless keyboard and mouse. Does the eight-core mac pro's have bluetooth built in or do you still need something like a usb bluetooth reader?
Thank you

Bluetooth is standard. AirPort is extra (and not user-installable).

  • Can my mac pro Bluetooth talk to my new ATV using Bluetooth to send slideshows

    Can my mac pro Bluetooth talk to my new ATV using Bluetooth to send slideshows, music and movies

    You know you don't have to buy a replacement dvd drive from apple.  For example, take a look at OWC's selection. 
    You don't say what year your mac pro is so I use a 2008 as an example.  On that page click the little picture that shows a 2008 mac pro.  That will take you to this page.  And there's an example of a Lite-On drive. 
    In addition, on the right side of that page are links to instructional videos on how to add the drive to your machine.  Click, for example, Optical, med (medium) and you will see how straight forward it is to change the optical drive.

  • How To Install internal Mac Pro Bluetooth?

    Could anyone draw me a picture in my head of how to install this bluetooth device before I get it and put it in pretty quick? Users guide is no joy. Can';t be too hard? I'm softwared up and external now. Keyboard connectivity is not what I'd like... maybe on account of the third party external usb/bluetooth.
    I've been elbow deep in my lovely old G4.

    The title of this discussion including the word "internal"; external dongies is not what I was referring to. Thanks though. Already got one of those.

    I'm having similar problems with a brand-new Mac Pro 8-core. Mouse cuts out (I'm using a wired keyboard thankfully) and my Jawbone headset will work wonderfully with my old MacBook Pro but will only pair (maybe) on my Mac Pro.
    Called and spoke with an expert and feel I get the run around. He had me shut down and unplug everything for 30 seconds. I did it but felt he was just having me "do something" to get me off of the line.
    Apple has a problem with Bluetooth on their Mac Pros and isn't dealing with it.

  • Is my Mac Pro Bluetooth wiring correct?

    Hi All,
    I know this one's a monster on these discussions but after suffering intermittent bluetooth problems recently and only having about 3m reception I decided to see if I could match my bluetooth and airport wiring to another thread and discovered mine is very different!
    wire labelled '1' is connected to the bottom airport card point
    wire labelled '2' is hanging free
    wire labelled '3' is connected to the top airport card point
    wire unlabelled is connected to the bluetooth card
    Is this correct?
    (system profiler states this is a Mac Pro 3.1)

    I had posted my query before doing additional research in the Apple Support Community forums.
    The answer lies in the "Bluetooth and Mac Pro problem" thread as I belatedly discovered. Is it possible that even after all this time that Apple still has not acknowledged the problem and posted an explanation/apology?

  • Mac Pro Bluetooth icon with the wave, says Bluetooth not available, can't seem to find a fix...

    I'm showing the bluetooth icon with the little wave/squiggle, drop down says it's not available.  Help forum advised unplugging all USB then restarting, what am I a Windows user???  Obviously didn't solve the problem, anyone had this?

    Hello:
    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.

  • DBT-120 Bluetooth 2.0 Adapter not Compatible with Mac Pro V 10.4.10?

    Hello!
    I recently purchased a
    *D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth 2.0 USB Adapter* (My Mac Pro is *V 10.4.10*)
    in order to resolve the Mac Pro / Bluetooth issue.
    I put in the CD for installation and all of the files (.exe, etc.) read as PC files.
    I was told by D-link that the adapter mentioned above is not compatible with this higher version of the Mac Pro.
    However, I have read that other users have had success with the DBT-120.
    Does anyone have any recommendations?
    Thank you!
    Jeff

    What exactly IS the mac pro/ bluetooth issue?
    Some Mac Pros were (are?) shipped with incorrect labelling and connection of the AirPort and Bluetooth internal antenna wires. The causes reduced Bluetooth range.

  • TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work).  "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
    That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

  • Can I use a bluetooth keyboard on a non-bluetooth enabled (Old)Mac Pro?

    Sorry, this seems like something I could easily find an answer to, but I haven't found the answer on the forums or in google searches.
    My quad core Mac Pro is not Bluetooth enabled.  I'm assuming I can just use a USB Bluetooth dongle to talk to the keyboard.  I thought I would double check before I start spending money.  I do have a Belkin Bluetooth dongle already, but I've seen some talk about some talk about some other options from the Mac Store.  I'm just hoping to hear what has worked for others.
    Thanks!

  • Mac pro 2009 bluetooth problems

    Hey guys. gals... so... if you followed y previous saga of the quad core, you know it just got replaced by a eight from mac fro various maladies and problems. Yay me. Except..... the bluetooth f'n ***** on this thing....
    It took an incredibly long time for it to pair with the keyboard... then the ghost pop up says "connection lost" like every 4 minutes if you aren't typing on it. which if you run photoshop day and night like never happens. So..... yeah. Mouse practically doesn't work either works half the time or super slow or like not at all.....
    So....whats going on? I tried to plug in my old bluetooth adaptor from the quad core (which had an airport card that also died) and it tried to set up some sort of pan network, then the almost working bluetooth died, so I couldn't click around..
    oh.. and I restored my entire system from time machine if that matters...?
    Questions... if this is the fatal flaw in the mac pro line.. thats bad. So.....how do i
    -turn off onboard bluetooth
    -engage usb mounted bluetooth.
    Thanks

  • Mac Pro Lion 10.7.5 will not receive bluetooth file from Macbook Leopard 10.5.8

    Since late 2008, I have been running a 2.2GHz / 3,1 / 4GB MacBook, now at 10.5.8. A few days ago I bought a 2.66 GHz / 1,1 / 6GB Mac Pro, now at 10.7.5. I can not seem to get the Lion Mac Pro to successfully receive a 3.3mb file sent, via BLUETOOTH, from the Leopard Macbook. Sending the file, from the Leopard MacBook, usually, fails and gives the message, "There was an error connecting to the device". A few times I did get an incoming file alert on the Mac Pro and the file seemed to begin coming from the MacBook; however, the estimated time varied wildly and the file transfer eventually failed and displayed the aforementioned message. I have an android 2.3.6 phone and I was able to successfully send the same 3.3mb file to the Mac Pro in a matter of a minute, or so. I may downgrade the Mac Pro to 10.5.8, because I have important software/hardware that may not be supported on Lion, but, right now, I am trying to determine compatibility with my important Leopard software/hardware. For the time being, I want to send files to the Mac Pro via BLUETOOTH, as opposed to any other transfer method.

    I don't know the answer to your problem, but until you resolve it do not upgrade OS X.
    I would suggest you try a reinstall:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
