10.6.3 and DBT-122 bluetooth dongle

Despite "Better support for 3rd party Bluetooth devices", my DBT-122 dongle has gone AWOL. Well, the Bluetooth icon sometimes appears in System Prefs after several reboots, but my Magic Mouse will no longer connect.
External dongle in use due to internal module being too heavily shielded as per previous threads on this subject.
Anyone else with the same problem, is there a fix or a recommended dongle? DBT-120 has been touted previously.

A simulair problem here. Since the update now I can't connect my Magic Mouse with my Mac Pro.
I always used a dongle.
The Mac Pro still give me the icon, but when I try to connect it to my mouse it even won't see it.
So my bluetooth list will be empty all the time when it scan's for devices....strange.

  • SW Updater and DBT-122

    I using PC Suite v6.86.9.0 with Software Updater v 1.4.39en and Blutooth via a D-Link DBT-122. All options in PC Suite sees and communicates fine with my N73 using Bluetooth except for the Software Updater, which starts up OK but then keeps "Searching for a connected phone" untill it finally gives up. If I change the connection to USB datacable the Software Updater works fine.

    That's right, NSU needs a cable connection because the whole OS -BT drivers included- gets wiped and reinstalled, so you'd get half way and the phone would just stop working.
    With the cable connection, the PC is able to take complete control over the phone functions throughout the update.

    But it still is not recognized by bluetooth-applet. What should it do, to change this?
    On my other linuxsystem I don't need to enter anything. Just put the dongle in and bluetooth works fine.

  • D-Link DBT-122 & Wireless Keyboard & Mouse?

    Hey all
    I have just got a D-link DBT-122 bluetooth adapter, but everyime I connect my mouse it turns off my keyboard! argh
    Can this dongle only support 1 device?
    let me know some onces that can handle more if that is the case
    Thanks in advance

    I found what I was looking for, hopefully this will help you, do at your own risk A search on google will bring you straight to Apple's Bluetooth Updater 1.2.1 software...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2845886&#2845886
    I mounted the image and copied "BTFWUpdate1.2.1.pkg" from it to the desktop. After that control-click the file and select "Show package contents". A new window opens with a single directory named "Contents". Inside that directory look for a file named "Archive.pax.gz" and move it to the desktop. Double-Click the file on the desktop. If all goes well it should create an "Applications"-Folder with the Bluetooth Firmware Updater-Utility inside it. Now you finally have a working 1.2.1-Updater. You can copy it to your utilities-Folder, but you don't have to, it works from everywhere.

  • D-Link DBT-122 USB Bluetooth Adapter - how to make it support 2 devices?

    For Macs not originally equipped with Bluetooth hardware Apple used to recommend purchasing D-Link's DBT-120 (rev. B or later). If I understand correctly, after pluggin-in the device it was necessary to run Apple's Bluetooth Firmware update 1.3.3 to get it working.
    The DBT-120 device may still be available for purchase in some parts of the world but in Europe D-Link is now selling the replacement DBT-122 (no revision is indicated). The device is advertised as being 'Mac-compatible (check, for instance, http://www.dlink.co.uk/?go=gNTyP9CgrdFOIC4AStFCF834mptYKO9ZTdvhLPG3yV3oVIF+h6ltb NlwaaFp6DQoHDrqyyRF/okIB9vv ).
    My problem is after having plugged-in my brand new DBT-122 onto an USB port of my 'old' G4 eMac, I can get my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse working, or my Bluetooth Apple Keyboard working, BUT NOT BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. When I have them both connected, disconnections occur all the time (either the mouse or the keyboard, apparently at random).
    Tried to run Bluetooth Updater 1.3.3 but the thing tells me that there is no Bluetooth device to update. I suppose it is loooking for a DBT-120 and I have a DBT-122.
    Anyone with a suggestion on anything I should try to have both my mouse and keyboard working via my new bluetooth adpater?
    (No use to contact D-Link support, they don't know anything about Macs and the only thing they have been instructed to respond is 'its an Apple problem'. And they charge you for that - the hotline is expensive!)
    Cheers

    Hi,
    i'm having the same problem. The Apple Store recommends purchasing the D-Link DBT-120, but doesn't actually sell it since it has been superceded by the DBT-122 in Europe. Apple should know this. While D-Link market the DBT-122 as the replacement for the DBT-120 that is also compatible with Macs, from what i have been able to find out the 120 and the 122 use different chipsets and OSX cannot recognize all the features of the DBT-122's firmware. That is also why OSX's firmware updater software doesn't work with the DBT-122.
    Like you, i can get the DBT-122 to work with either the keyboard or mouse but not both at the same time.
    In any case even if you got both the keyboard and mouse working wirelessly there would be no way of waking the computer from sleep since the 'allow bluetooth device to wake computer from sleep' option is greyed out - this is only available if the firmware is supported. Presumably Apple will have to release software to support the DBT-122, if the earlier model is no longer in production. I think both Apple and D-Link are at fault here.

  • Bluetooth adapter DBT-122 from DLink. compliant with JSR-82?

    Hi I have a Bluetooth adapter DBT-122 from DLink.
    I would like to program java application in my PC using bluetooth USB adapter. I have a driver called widcomm for it. I am wondeing whether the driver and adapter are JAR-82 compliant.
    I checked with with Dlink and Broadcom which took over widcomm and they gave me no replies. Is there anyone who knows it? If not, dow do I do about the driver and adapter? I am very eager to do programming in java application for Bluettoth in PC to talk with cellphone.
    regards,
    Clement

    Low quality is not a problem. I work in an office that forbids ANY ambient music in the background (!!), and since I have to interact with others I need to keep an ear open rather than having a stereo headset mounted on my head. Having a single ear listening to some 'tunes is ideal, and the freedom of going wireless is very appealling! It would give me the ability to block out the annoying and distracting conversations for when my own concentration on the task at hand is critical, and also give me the freedom to move about without being tethered.
    I've ordered a DBT-120 bluetooth adapter. It had *better* work to pipe my iTunes songs to the headset! I've got both Mac and Windows machines in front of me at my desk, but prefer to use the Mac. The current iogear bluetooth adapter I have does work on Windows, so I guess I have an option even if the DBT-120/Mac combination doesn't work out.

  • Re@lted t0 bluetooth dongle, stack and configuration.. .......

    Hi to all,
    Those r new or require some more info realted to STACK and statring the prohect read the following page
    http://www.cs.hku.hk/~fyp05016/kyng/bt_j9.htm
    This is may be benifical to u.
    Anyhow, i am making the my final year project related to Bluetooth and i am trying to use AVETANA which can be dowloaded from the following link:
    http://www.avetana-gmbh.de/avetana-gmbh/downloads/relicense.idmexieubncmqxqphuvrohkpjcgwbv.eng.xml
    After u visit this link u will see that, avetana require three bluetooth address. I have inputed the address 22:22:22:22:22:22 ( or 22-22-22-22-22-22). I have extracted this address from start-run-ipconfig/all after i install the device dirver software "BlueSoleil_1.6.2.1" in Win XP OS. My bluetooth dongle is "ISSC Bluetooth Device" which i extracted from Device Manager (Start - Right Click My computer - Properties - Hardware - Device Manager). Moreover my VID and UID of the bluetooth dongle is "USB\VID_1131&PID_1001". I have even cheked the microsoft XP site
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841803/
    for the sake of conformation that whether my bluetooth dongle is supported my Win XP sp2 and the above VID and UID is not present there.
    Now the problem is that site doesnot accept my above written address, and so i am unable to download the avetana,,,
    In the end(after searching on the net) I have concluded that might the following reason may be there:
    1) my bluetooth dongle is either of some local company manufacturer which is not recognized by win XP
    2) i am using wrong device driver
    3) i am unable to configure properly the bluetooth device.
    Moreover, even after installing the device driver (BlueSoleil_1.6.2.1) i am unable to see any bluetooth icon in the Control panel so that i can see/change the bluetooth property.
    Plz help me up..
    and if i am thinking correct, which company dongle i should purchase or which other bluetooth stack (say like atinav, BlueCove) i should use...
    I even want to know that with respect to stack (say atinav) i need to purchase the dongle or not..
    moreover, i donot want to buy any stack as this is only my academic project so i donot have so much money to buy a stack (like atinav)
    thx in advance..

  • Can't get Dlink DBT-122 to work with Bluetooth headset

    I have seen the various posts on trying to get an external usb bluetooth adapter to work with a mobile bluetooth headset e.g. Jabra bluetooth headset.
    I get the following error when trying to connect to the headset:
    Failed to setup the headset. Headsets are not supported on your Bluetooth hardware.
    When I try and use the bluetooth firmware updater i get the following error:
    This computer does not have an Apple Bluetooth module installed. It cannot be updated by this application.
    Please help and Thanks in advance

    The firmware upgrade does not work with the DBT-122

  • Can I DISABLE the OE internal Bluetooth and use a BT dongle?

    My Mac Pro lives in a server closet, and the Bluetooth range is insufficient to stay in contact with my BT keyboard (Logitech DiNovo Edge).
    I need to use a Bluetooth Dongle, like I was using on my G5 Quad 2.5, but it seems I need to disable the internal BT module before that's going to work.
    Can someone tell me how to do this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sarge

    You might want to check if the BlueTooth has been installed correctly.
    You can take it in to the Apple Store, or look at some of the posts where people have installed the bluetooth themselves.
    This post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4353470&#4353470 has links to pictures of the bluetooth install process.
    If the pictures help you determine whether yours is installed correctly, you can go from there to either correct the problem by taking it to your Apple Store, or correct it yourself. (I don't know if it voids the warranty to correct Apple's install, but apparently it voids the warranty to install it yourself.)
    Or you could use the info from the other forum to disconnect the internal bluetooth so it won't interfere with your USB dongle. I haven't yet tried out my bluetooth yet, so I don't have anything else to suggest.

  • 6233 and bluetooth/dongles

    i also think the 6233 is a great phone - i tried an N70 before that and hated it - it was slow and kept crashing, i sent it back and got the 6233
    My problem is that if i try to connect to my computer with bluetooth it tells me (the PC) that it can't. do i need a dongle?? and what's a dongle for (sounds rude, to me)
    thanks

    your PC need to be equipped with Bluetooth hardware. It can bee inbuilt Bluetooth radio receiver or you can go and buy a Bluetooth USB "stick" or "dongle" and attach that to your PC USB port in order to make it work as Bluetooth device.
    Bear in mind, that there are several Bluetooth softwares available for Windows and not all of them are compatible with Nokia PC Suite.
    PC Suite is compatible with:
    Bluetooth Microsoft Windows XP Bluetooth (included in XP SP2), Toshiba Bluetooth stack for Windows XP/2000 version 4.0, Widcomm BTW 1.4, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, IVT BlueSoleil Bluetooth stack for Windows XP/2000, driver version 1.6.1.4*

  • Very compatible Bluetooth Dongle for Nokia 6110 Na...

    I was having a lot of problems connecting to my PC using my existing Belkin Bluetooth Dongle. After a lot of searching and reviews I bought the D-Link DBT-122 and wish to point out that this works like a dream with the above phone and apparently all others using the same software. Also I noticed during installation some software was installed on the phone itself and now the volume in my car using the Nokia Bluetooth Handsfree has increased tremendously. I had almost give up trying to use Bluetooth on this phone but what a pleasant change the Dlink has been. Highly recommeded for the Nokia 6110 or others running the same software.

    I bought a Belkin Bluetooth dongle for my 6120c.
    But when the program starts It gives the Windows 'Blue Screen' and the computer restarts.
    Since then i have had no idea on what dongle to buy.
    Are you running Vista?

  • D-Link DBT-122, problem with Apple fimware updater

    Few days ago,I bought a D-Link DBT-122 usb bluetooth adapter (the new model of dbt-120 and the "only" actual model of the D-Link) to connect my BT headset JABRA with my mac-mini, but even if the OS system find the usb BT adapter, it not permit the pairing with headset (error message: this hw not support...".
    I tried to use the firmware update, as suggested from other post and as suggested in the apple support webpage, but I receive an other error message about an hardware not suppoted..." and not permit the firmware update.
    It is strange since all D-Link products derived from DBT-120 are supported from firmware updater (you can read in the apple webpage support about bluetooth firmware updater: "...The Bluetooth Firmware Updater is for D-Link USB Adapters (revision B2 or later), and Apple internal Bluetooth modules on PowerBooks, PowerMacs, iMacs, iBooks, and eMacs. ..."
    Please help me !

    You need the D-Link DBT-120. Search this forum for the D-Link DBT-122. It has Broadcom Bluetooth chipset instead of the CSR BlueCore chipset which is required by the Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater.
    The D-Link DBT-122 is not a newer D-Link DBT-120. It is a different product. There are some Bluetooth 2.0+EDR adapters which should work out of the box – but I have no brand name or model sold worldwide, yet.

  • Mac Pro USB bluetooth dongle install?

    Mac Pro 2006 with no Bluetooth card, I want to use my apple wireless keyboard/mouse and trackpad. Bought the IOGear GBU521 USB Bluetooth Dongle. I have a fresh install of Lion on an SSD Drive and another on a Hard Drive.  I have no Bluetooth Icon in the System Prefs menus on either Lion Boot drive. I reset the PRAM, SMC and tried booting with Snow Leopard which also didn't have the icon. Will attempt reinstall of Lion. Hoping someone can help so I don't have to install a bluetooth card.

    Sorry, I meant the GBU421.   Got it initially as a cheap ($9 at the time holiday sale) experiment.  I guess the DBT-120 would have been the second choice if the GBU421 hadn't worked.  But it did so I never tried any others.
    Note, I plug the dongle into the back of my 27" monitor so that it's within a 1'-2' of my mouse so there is no problems with the mouse.  But with this dongle, and I assume any other (which is why I never tried any other), when I sleep my machine (I never shut down) the power goes off on the monitor and computer (which goes into a standby mode).  This means no power on the dongle.  So you cannot wake up your machine using with BT devices.  I have a wired keyboard so I just hit a key on it to wake my machine up.
    Another small "quirk" with the dongle.  Maybe about 15% to 25% of the time the mouse will not immediately re-pair.  Trackpad almost always does.  So when that happens I need to flip the mouse power switch to "get the machine's attention".   Then it re-pair shortly after.  I've just learned to live with this "quirk".  I assume other dongles may behave the same under these conditions.  Interesting enough, the re-pair is immediate when rebooting.

  • Solution to aluminum wireless keyboard with D-Link DBT-122 on Win XP

    On several forums I found a lot of people haveing the same problem I had; the D-Link DBT-122 drivers would ask to enter the pairing key but showed a greyed box so we don't know what numbers to enter. I tried all the tips like changing settings in the registry, changing the drivers, using Microsoft drivers, etc. but nothing worked.
    What did work:
    I paired the keyboard with a computer with a different Bluetooth adapter (in this case an Mac running WinXP). I selected to let the driver choose a key for me, wrote it down, enter the key on the keyboard and it paired successfully. I turned off the keyboard (hold the power button about 10 seconds) and removed it from the bluetooth devices on this computer.
    Now on the computer with the D-Link DBT-122 adapter; I plugged a standard USB keyboard, started the pairing process, turned on the Wireless keyboard, and entered the pairing key using the USB keyboard to enter the numbers (must be fast; was not fast enough on the first try) and at the end pressing Enter on the wireless keyboard.
    I then used the Microsoft utility "remapkey.exe" from the "Microsoft Windows Resource Kit Tools" to put the Delete key on the right command button so I would be able to log in using Ctrl-Alt-Del.
    Voil

    I tried to do what you described in this post but it does NOT work. I have a D-Link DBT-122 and Win XP running on a PC and the wireless keyboard.
    I type the code in the grey field with an USB keyboard and then I do the same with the wireless one and press "Enter" but it does NOT work.
    Did you miss a step in your description?

  • Mac compatible bluetooth dongles?

    Oh, and it's also gotta be smallish too.
