A review of Jabra A320s and BT620s on 10.4.6

Well, I tried the Jabra BT620s Bluetooth wireless headset today in Akihabara, Tokyo. It comes bundled with a small cradle that fits any standard iPod (not Mini, Nano, etc.) and adds BT stereo to the iPod BUT the cradle is NOT a Jabra product. You can navigate the iPod menus directly from the BT620s and the stereo sound was good judged against the bustle of a busy Tokyo street. The headset can also be paired with a BT mobile phone and auto-interrupts when a call comes in.
I was more interested in using it for Skype work on an iBook. I took along an old dual USB iBook without BT and a recent DLink DBT-120 adapter (the only external adapter recommended by Apple). It seems the DLink does not support stereo even with the latest firmware upgrade (thanks Apple!) so there was an immediate error when pairing with the BT620s. I then tried the Jabra A320s BT dongle, which does support BT version 2.0 with stereo and EDR, and of course there are no drivers in 10.4.6 for it so no headset support (thanks again Apple and Jabra!).
If you have a later model Mac with built-in BT version 2.0 and EDR, it might work with the BT620s but I am not sure that the Apple implementation of built-in BT supports the stereo headset profile, so buyer beware.
The BT620s build quality is nice. It is light, has lots of control and the battery life is long but without assured OS X support, it is not worth the risk of purchasing at 19,800 yen.
Can anyone tell me whether the BT620s works well with their later model PowerBook or MacBookPro, etc., with built-in BT version 2.0?

Hi, Robert —
Interesting comments. Thanks.
You're correct that Apple's Bluetooth implementation doesn't include the A2DP profile designed for stereo headphones... yet. Is that what you're referring to? But there have been reports of success using some 3rd-party Bluetooth adapters that do support A2DP for this objective. Here's an example.

Epson RX595 and Jabra a320s Bluetooth adapter?

Hi all,
Just a quick question. I have an RX595 currently connected to my Time Capsule, and seeing as it is giving me difficulty with a Vista laptop (printing multiple copies of same job) I was looking into other connectivity options that don't include having to connect it to a computer and networking it that way. I have a Jabra a320s BT USB adapter, and when I place it in the USB port of the printer, it allows me to set up all the options in the menu (recognizes it as a BT adapter), yet when I try to add it to my MBP, I'm able to see it as a printer but it won't pair properly (times out after asking for pairing code). Do I have to buy the Epson Bluetooth print adapter or is there any way to make my setup work?

I used my RX595 with a Belkin bluetooth adapter. It's a few years old. I can't find it right now or I'd give you the model number. Anyway, I can only print by transferring files to the RX595. This gives me practically no format control. It only uses however I set up memory card printing, paper size and whatnot, having nothing to do with computer settings. I could also only get a .jpg file to work. The printer might do .pdf files, but I don't think it'll do anything else through bluetooth.
I'm a little bitter about their "bluetooth compatible" not including a bluetooth adapter, being so limited, and their printer sharing simply not working. Support refused to help with any of this. To quote them: "Epson tests and supports a direct connection from the printer to the Host PC/MAC." Advertising unsupported features, this is my last Epson printer for at least 4-5 years.

JABRA A320S bluetooth dongle compatible with my mac book??

I bought a jabra a320s to pair my mac book with a sony mini stereo. i want to play my music through it.
i had to get the jabra dongle since the mac's bluetooth didn't support a2dp. i haven't opened the box yet for the jabra device. will this work with a mac? on the box it only says compatible with various windows, etc.
anyone know if this will be fine for what i need? thanks in advance.

The Mac Book is from 2005..When I tried looking up the Bluetooth specifications it didn't list A2DP as a feature.
It doesn't list A2DP as a feature on the very latest MacBooks either - even though those are the ones that come with Leopard which does have A2DP support. A2DP is a feature of the Macs Bluetooth system software, not the Bluetooth hardware. That's why older Macs updated to Leopard have gained A2DP support, with no new Bluetooth hardware required.
So if the bluetooth on this computer doesn't have A2DP then there's no way for me to use a bluetooth dongle instead?
No. But it wouldn't matter if you could use the Bluetooth dongle. You would still need the updated Bluetooth software on the computer for A2DP support - which is part of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
I find that hard to swallow.
Well, try it for yourself if you don't believe me.
I should just be able to disable the internal bluetooth and use the dongle, right?
Well... Yes, if there was actually a way to disable just the internal Bluetooth - but there isn't. If you were to turn Bluetooth off in the system preferences, it would turn all Bluetooth off, including the dongle.
But lastly, does anyone know if the Jabra dongle would be compatible with the Mac Book if I actually busted open the box?
You're not reading what I've written are you? As the MacBook *already has* internal bluetooth hardware, you cannot use an external bluetooth dongle with it. The internal bluetooth always takes priority over the external, and you cannot turn off just the internal Bluetooth.

How can I allow a learner to review a created Drag and Drop Quiz to show the learner their incorrect/correct answers?

Captivate 8: I have created an assessment with two multiple choice question slides and eight drag and drop question slides. After the learner views their score, I would like them to be able to review all of their answers to see where errors were made. Currently, the review quiz only shows their answers and the correct answers for Multiple choice question slides. Ideally, I would like a review of the drag and drop question slides where the incorrect choices are outlined in red or something to this effect. I appreciate any insight and suggestions!

Sorry, D&D is not a normal question slide and I can only recommend logging a feature request. I would really like to be able to choose whether an interaction is reset or not, because this problem doesn't exist only for D&D but for all learning interactions as well.

Reviewing Windows NT Rights and Privileges Granted for SQL Server Service Accounts

Hi Folks,
I am an experienced .NET apps developer who has been tasked with writing a bunch of technical controls for all the SQL Server instances on a domain.
So for the last month I have been diving in the deep end learning Powershell, dba and infrastructure tasks. This is still a work in progress, so be kind to me.. ;o)
So the task I am stuck on is described in the section on 'Reviewing Windows NT Rights and Privileges Granted for SQL Server Service Accounts' http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504(v=sql.105).aspx
I have not been able to find cmdlets that gives me this information. I have found some exes which come frustratingly close like NTRights.exe. This lets me specify a computer name which is great, but only seems to let you set or deny permissions, not just
list them!
Any help with this would be very much appreciated as I am firmly stuck. As per comments above also bear in mind that up until around 1.5 months ago I had never used powershell / knew very much at all about SQL server admin etc. Feeling much more comfortable
with them now, but much less so with Active Directory/ windows permission structures etc so please can I ask anyone kind enough to reply to try and keep the acronyms down as much as humanly possible.. ;o)
Cheers
Kieron

Hi Kieron,
Take a look at this module, it makes permissions much easier to work with than what's currently available:

Review your billing info and approve it

I recently changed my credit card. I updated my account with the new info. iTunes works fine, but when I order prints from iPhoto, I get a error "Your account information has changed. Please Review your billing info and approve it. I click "OK", go to Account Info, sign it, approve all three categories. However, I still get the error when I try to order prints. Any ideas? TY.

For the record, an email response from Apple gave these instructions, which did work:
"I understand you are having some difficulties with placing your print order and you are receiving a message saying that your account information has changed. I apologize for any frustration this may have caused you.
I would like to recommend taking the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:
1) Please go to store.apple.com/.
2) Select "Account" at the top right hand corner of the page.
3) Click "Login", and enter in your Apple ID and password.
4) Click on "Change account information".
5) Enter your password at the top in both the "Password (at least 6 characters)" and the "Retype your password" fields.
6) Make sure the primary and shipping address information is correct. If not, make changes.
7) Scroll down to the bottom of the screen to the "Method of Payment" section.
8) Remove your credit card number, then click on "Continue".
9) Open iPhoto and select "Buy Book".
10) Click on "Account Info" (or "Set Up Account" if "Account Info" is greyed out)
11) Enter in the same Apple ID and password you used to sign in to the Apple Store.
12) You will be prompted to go through three different steps to enter in your billing information.
13) Submit your order."

Please review your billing information and approve it

PLEASE help me before I pull out my hair! I have a photo book I've created in iPhoto 09. It's ready to be ordered (in-time for Christmas!) and no matter what I do, it comes back with a "please review your billing information and approve it". There are two things in this repeated (at least 20 times) process that I find interesting 1) every time I re-enter my account info, it says I have an invalid city, state zip code combination and 2) when I try to check out my preferences in iPhoto it freezes up (spinning beach ball) and I have to force quit. Here's what I've done already:
1. restarted iPhoto
2. restarted computer
3. re-entered billing information in apple store
4. enabled one-click purchasing and express checkout options in apple store
5. trashed iPhoto preferences
6. deleted my keychain preferences
7. re-entered account info in iPhoto
8. double-checked that I choose United State
9. Changed credit cards and tried all the above over again
I'm out of ideas. Someone PLEASE help me figure out what is going on!

every time I re-enter my account info, it says I have an invalid city, state zip code combination
The zip code error suggests you are ordering from an Apple Print Products Store in the wrong country. Your Billing Address, Shipping Address, Credit Card, Apple ID must all be valid in the same country as the Apple Store is you are ordering from. Is the region setting in your System Preferences > Language & Region the same as the country of your Billing Address and Shipping Address?

Book Error: "Please review your billing information and approve it."

Hi, I'm trying to purchase a book I created. It's 34 pages, with as many RAW images. The whole process seems to go fine until the end, when it spits out a dialog saying my account settings have changed, "Please review your billing information and approve it."
I have erased and reset my account with different credit cards with no change. This is incredibly frustrating, and this is intended as a Christmas present, so I really need to resolve this. I've spent several hours on it already and need some help here in resolving it.

Success! I figured it out and just got it to go through! The fix was to set my billing preference to "express." It was set to standard, and I kept manually changing it to express in the order to get here faster. Apple might want to make a note of this so their customers don't get frustrated when they try to spend lots of money with Apple. Also, phone support for people struggling and pleading to spend money probably makes good business sense in this economy.

How can I review my plugs ins, and disable some if needed?

I notice that in the Windows Task Manager 'Processes' tab that my plugin-container from time to time uses quite a bit of CPU resources as well as memory. Is there a way to review my plug ins and then disable/remove/uninstall some if I wish?

Dear friend,
Check table: V_503_ALL
V_T512Z and V_511_B are the tables for assigment of Permissibility based on ESG and PSA
After creating new EG/ESG (grouping also).
Please note that when we update Employee Group/Subgroup of position in PP01, it is not effective to PF in master data which was maintained with that position & old Employee group/supgroup.
So you should check:
- Position
- PFs with old EG/ESG.
Regards

why i cannot download the application which is free? I make apple id and im trying to download but it show that i have to review my apple id and they are asking the account number. what should i do? please help.

To use an Apple ID, in the iTunes/App store, requires a payment method be associated with your ID. That can be either a credit card, or if no credit card, you can redeem an iTunes gift card. So, do you have a payment method associated with your account?

Cracked screen ipod touch 4th gen... i review my product online and it says its still on warranty. But im in Germany now. what can ir do? is it expensive? or it is better to fix it my self? will the warranty cover it?

i review my product online and it says its still on warranty and expires in one month.
But im in Germany now, bought it in the USA. what can I do? is it expensive? or it is better to fix it my self? will the warranty cover it?
can i send it somewhere and ask for a repair in USA?
i can send it to a friend in california and ask him to help me going to a store or sth.. what is the best option?

A cracked screen is not really covered by the warranty since it is not due to a manufacturing defect. However, sometimes if you make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store (yu can go to German one) the Genius will replace the iPod at no cost. Otherwise the replacement cost is as specified here:
