Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0.1

Installed the update after updating to 10.5.8.
Now computer will immediately wake after putting to Sleep from the Menu Bar and the Power button.
I figured out to turn Bluetooth OFF, which disconnects Wireless Keyboard, in order for computer to Sleep properly.
I've tried reseting the SMC, zapping the PRAM, and repairing Permissions before and after each updating. I even tried to re-install the Bluetooth update - which says software is up-to-date.
I hope this Firmware update situation doesn't carry-over when I soon update to Snow Leopard.
Any suggestions appreciated...thanks!

Did not register for my 13" uMBP but this morning I have a new Bluetooth logo (white in a black oval) in my menu bar -- one that isn't listed in Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2702?viewlocale=en_US, that's just a month old.

  • Issues with Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0?

    I just installed the Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0 as suggested by Software Update, Mac mini early 2009. On restart and login, the Bluetooth Firmware Update started immediately, and I have a beach ball / pinwheel cursor. No other program activity. Only menu bar items are Apple menu, Bluetooth Firmware Update, File, Edit, Window, and Spotlight.
    Machine has been in this state for about 10 minutes (I wrote this on my /other/ Mac).
    The Bluetooth keyboard (Apple wireless) /was/ used to login.
    Anyone else having issues?
    Thanks,
    Loyd

  • New Bluetooth Apple Keyboard - Bluetooth Firmware Updater fails

    Hello,
    I want to be able to use bluetooth to wake my MacBook Pro, I am told by the instructions I need to use the Firmware Updater, so I installed that off the CD provided but when I launch Bluetooth Firmware Updater and click update, I get this error:
    Missing Firmware
    This version of the updater is missing the firmware file. Cannot proceed.
    Can anybody help me with this? I'm not sure how to proceed from here.

    Hello,
    I have checked the settings and they are correct but it is still not waking up properly - watching the light on the front it does look like it is trying, as it stops pulsating and goes solid but it doesn't wake up, I don't get anything displaying on the external monitor nor can I use the remote to start playing iTunes.
    I wonder if this is a different problem, not just the keyboard failing to wake it up?

  • Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0 is stopped with no progress in sight

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0 on my 15" MBP with OS X Leopard 10.5.7 but it has stopped with no progress at all. Is this a known issue? What should I do to fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Deleting old "Bluetooth Firmware Updater" on MacBook!?

    So I just bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard and installed the Bluetooth Firmware Updater on my MacBook. Looks like the updater is way outdated (the installation guide encourages you to install it on newer systems though) and now I can't get rid of it. It sits right under applications/utilities. Can I savely delete it or is there a cleaner approach?

    The updater can be safely deleted if the keyboard is working as intended.

  • Any thoughts on the new Bluetooth Firmware Update?

    First of all, happy 2006 to all.
    I just downloaded and installed a Bluetooth Firmware Update upon running the Software Update utility. Right after I decided to see online what should I expect from it. According to Apple's post, such a download is not for our PB model.
    Anyway, it's probably too soon to tell, but after brief testing I feel that at least the connection's kept at a larger distance. I hope to be right because sometimes the connection seems to be quite weak. I use my Bluetooth Sony Ericsson k700i as a remote control with many losses in the connection.

    I too downloaded this updater via Software Update. Upon restart the Bluetooth Firmware Updater application launched and I proceed to try and install. After sitting there for about 10 minuntes I clicked the Quit button since it was not finding any device. It asked if I was sure I wanted to quit because the firmware was not updated yet. After quitting the updater, my powerbook's (1.5GHz 15" Aluminum) bluetooth is no longer available. The preference pane is gone, the menu bar item says "Bluetooth is unavailable".
    I restarted, deleted all the bluetooth preferences, and still nothing. I now have bluetoothless powerbook.
    If anyone has any additional suggestions, please let me know. I am going to try a few other things in the mean time (inlcuding zapping the PRAM).

  • D-Link and Bluetooth Firmware update

    I am running 10.4.6 on a dual 2.7GHz G5. I have no built in Bluetooth so rely on a D-Link DBT-120 (rev4). I have tried three times unsuccessfully to apply the 1.2 BluetoothFWUpdate to allow use of the bluetooth keyboard in single user mode.
    The updater looks for a device, prepares to update, the candy bars in the progress bar twirl, then again it looks for a device to update, prepares to update, the candy bars in the progress bar twirl and then nothing for a very long time. 2 hours last time. When I try to quit, I'm told the device has not been updated.
    Profiler tells me
    Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 1.7.3f4
    Hardware Settings:
    Address: 00-11-95-0e-17-2d
    Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio
    Firmware Version: 1.525 (1.525)
    Has anybody had the same problem and if so, how did you overcome it?
    Thanks.

    Hi, Allan, AZTrailBlazer, and gordon —
    Sorry to hear that you've joined the company of many who've experienced this frustration. But glad to hear that you succeeded, gordon.
    You're correct, Allan: the firmware version reported for your Mac needs updating. For your configuration, expect to see 2.xxxx or 3.xxxx after the updater has run successfully. Your software version reflects the most up-to-date (updated via the OS X 10.4.6 Combo updater).
    Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.2 [11/23/04] is the correct package. It is compatible with all versions of Mac OS X subsequent to OS X 10.3.6 — for PPC Macs with Bluetooth chips (internal or in an adapter) that preceded the new Bluetooth 2.0+EDR specification. (There's another version available for folks running 10.3.6.) Also, as the brief description notes, "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."
    AZTrailBlazer, I believe that what you're recalling —  "It seems that Apple has removed a page with the 10.4.3 version of the firware updater, but information on this topic for Tiger users is scarce" —— was related to a version of this updater that was made available last Winter via Software Update. Imho, firmware updates of any kind are best applied from their "stand-alone" download version — because their installation may require following special instructions. That's the case here — and the instructions have proven confusing for many people. (Please send feedback if you agree.)
    I have worked with a lot of folks in this forum to help figure out how they can apply this firmware update effectively — so I'll cite a few threads that I hope will help you, too.  Here is a recent example. ( A ) and ( B ) are examples where several participants provided feedback after succeeding. ( C ) is a recent case involving a D-Link DBT-120 adapter in which jump (the individual posting) explained some fine points that s/he thought might be helpful to others.
    If you do a search — e.g., for [ +("D-Link" OR "DBT-120") +firmware +(update OR updater) ] in the Other Bluetooth Devices forum with results restricted to Alexander Traud — you'll find numerous cases where he has explained this for DBT-120 adapter users who want to utilize a Bluetooth headsets and other BLuetooth-enabled devices. Alexander's post here explains a "tricky" way to confirm whether the updater has been successful.
    Warm regards,

  • How do I DISable the Bluetooth Firmware Update?

    Every time I boot my MBP, once the Finder's getting cranked up, I get the dialogue box to update my Bluetooth Firmware. I don't have any Bluetooth items. I'd like to get rid of this. I've tried:
    1. Having Spotlight search (including System files) for any bluetooth-related files. No .plist comes up. Nothing "Bluetooth" at all.
    2. I manually checked both root and user Library>Application Support folders. No Bluetooth.
    3. Bluetooth System Preference: Nothing on the main panel, nor the advanced settings, is checked.
    Anyone know what I need to know to stop Bluetooth from insisting on getting its firmware installed? I can't recall if it happened with the initial 10.6 install. Maybe it's begun only since the 10.6.1 update.
    Thanks.

    Barry, after restarting, I verified that this did kill it from Software Update. Yet before I can get to that, the accursed 2.0.1 still insists on being installed.
    Worst case, I guess I can just go ahead, install it, make it happy, and get on with life. Maybe even then I'll trash it and see if the Updater returns, demanding another round.
    On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being worst, this ranks maybe 1.5. Still, I'd really like to know what's going on.
    Thanks for the suggestion, though.

  • Why doesnt my bluetooth firmware update?

    whenever i try to update my bluetooth to version 2.0.1, when it starts updating it gives me this error message= An unexpected error occurred (4:190). Your firmware could not be updated, please try again.
    and then it tells me to visit apple.com/support

    If you need it the software updater will tell you you need it. If you just bought your MBP, you probably have it already.
    Only the late 2011 MBPs are getting it because they have different firmware. It fixes a couple of issues specific to the late 2011 MBP. No one is being left hanging.

  • D-Link DBT-120 USB adapter needs new firmware update from Apple

    I purchased a new DBT-120 USB/Bluetooth adapter for use with my iBook (Clamshell). unfortunately, it's not allowing connections to headsets as I intended.
    I have a DBT-120 B1 at home which works fine with my headset but that adapter worked only after updating the firmware with Apple's updater.
    unfortunately, the firmware updater will not recognise my new DBT-120 which is a C1.
    Apple, please update the firmware updater for the new C1... soon!
    has anyone else written a firmware updater for the DBT-120 adapters so that headsets can be used with OS X?
    regards,
    Gregory

    I have the same problem w/ my DBT-120 v. C1
    I tried installing bluetooth firmware 1.2 and Bluetooth Firmware Updater gives me the error:
    "This Bluetooth device is not supported
    This computer does not have an Apple Bluetooth module installed. It cannot be updated by this application."
    I also tried installing version 1.2.1 but during installation that gave me the error: "This update is not needed on this computer."
    I have an iMac Intel Core 1 Duo 17" that will hopefully support the headset when it finishes charging, but I would like to be able to use it on the go too.

  • Bluetooth Firmware trouble •The Fix•

    For those having unable to update the firmware on their D-Link DBT-120 (B3): If you've tried the suggestions on this forum without success, and the Firmware version 1.2 updater utility does not complete the update, here is a simple solution. Someone casually mentioned the <option key> somewhere in a forum. I'm here to tell you that if you hold the <option key> when starting the firmware updater utility from the Utilities Folder, and enter your user password when asked (you'll need to release the <option key> for this), then the firmware updater will run to completion. After the update, restart your computer, and you're ready to go.

    Well I got mine fixed. I had to buy a usb mouse. I put in the disk that came with my mouse and keyboard that had the original firmware on it. When I went to install it it asked for my password and without a keyboard this was another problem. Unfortunately I couldn't find a usb keyboard around here so I had the idea to look for an onscreen keyboard to download on the internet. I found a demo for one through google and instant messaged the link to myself on my Mac and installed it. After installing the firmware off the disk it opened up utilities and under utilities I saw a program called Bluetooth Firmware Update. I ran that and it took several minutes, probably close to 15 just like it said. After that Bluetooth was enabled again. I hope this might help someone else.
