Bluetooth Headset Hardware not supported

I have a Kensington USB dongle and I pasted the ASP info below. I can use it for pretty much everything except for using my headset. Does any one know of a way to enable this?
I can't imagine why Apple would only support headsets on their bluetooth hardware. I read in this forum that a D-link dongle is supported, does it have any specific features that my Kensington dongle does not list in the Apple system profiler?

Dlink is STILL the only officially supported usb BT dongle and I have one and it works great if you only want 10m radius.
I bought a Targus ACB20 (also known as ACB20us) because my GF wanted BT connectivity for her headset on her eMac. I realised AFTER that headsets were not supported for the Broadcom Chipset in this device.
I found the answer here -> http://cbri.umn.edu/~kunau/?p=18
this guy found a belkin patch for his device that allows broadcom chipset dongles to use headsets (YAY).
here is the direct dl link for the file -> http://ccgb.umn.edu/~kunau/wp-content/uploads/2006/06/BelkinF8T012v-OSXdriver.zip
This works fine with my targus dongle and another Anycom one I have (both 100m).
Hope this works for you.

  • Which Stereo Bluetooth headset with remote supports for Iphone3Gs??

    please anybody can tell me which is the best Stereo Bluetooth headset with remote support for Iphone3Gs??
    thanks in advance

    Hello thomulusmax,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums
    As long as your device is running software version 4.2.2 or higher it supports A2DP. (You can verify this under Options >> About)
    Keep in mind that not all Bluetooth headsets are A2DP enabled. As long as your headset supports A2DP and it pairs and connects with your Pearl you should be able to listen to any supported audio format.
    Cheers!

  • Bluetooth Headset does not play sound from ipad touch 4th gen. ipod touch 4th gen. although it does pair ok! Please help!

    HM1200, BH99b, JabraBT2045 bluetooth headsets do not play music from ipad, ipod touch 4th generation, although it does pair ok. Why is that if it is compatable, why it does not play any music or sound via bluetooth headsets.  When I pair the headsets to Mac it does play music via bleutooth headsets!  Please help me!  Also, how to connect several or two bluetooth headsets to one device: Mac, or iPad iPod touch 4th generation? Please, reply as soon as possible!

    Your iPad has built-in WiFi. You cannot and don't need to use the USB dongle.
    Look in Settings > WiFi. Find the SSID of your wireless router, tap it's name and enter the WiFi password.

  • 3750-E - hardware not supported by firmware

    Hello, I have got new 3750 e-series which has universal image installed on it. I need to put this switch in stackwise with non-e-series 3750. The problem is that non-e-series are running IP BASE IOS and I wanted to put the same IOS on 3750 e-series. But it gives me the following message when I try to boot the switch with c3750-ipbase-mz.122-35.SE5.bin image.
    Error: hardware not supported by firmware.
           Try loading newer software instead.

    Hi,
    Catalyst 3750-E switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(35)SE2 are compatible with Catalyst*3750 switches and Cisco EtherSwitch service modules running Cisco IOS Release*12.2(35)SE. Catalyst 3750-E switches, Catalyst 3750 switches, and Cisco EtherSwitch service modules can be in the same switch stack. In this switch stack, we recommend that the Catalyst*3750-E switch be the stack master.
    Check out the below link for more information

  • What bluetooth headsets does lion support

    i have been having lots of issue with not being able to sync bluetooth headsets to my 2007 imac, running lion. discovered online that this may be an issue with Lion. i have been able to get my samsung WEP 490 bluetooth earpiece to work, but i wanted to purchase an around the next headset, particularly, the LG Tone HBS 700, but only if it will work.

    Mariner says that they haven't found any significant problems with MacJournal on Lion. If reinstalling the most recent version of MacJournal doesn't fix the problem, you might want to ask for help from Mariner support or on their forums:

  • HT204368 My A2DP enabled Bluetooth headset does NOT play music. How can I fix this?

    I used to listen to music on my Motorola H-17 bluetooth headset. After the headset broke I bought a new one, specifically a Motorola H-17txt bluetooth headset.
    It pairs with my phone, and works fine with phonecalls, but when I play music it only plays out of the phone itself, not the headset. When I open up the audio output options in the music app, there is no option for the headset. When I open up audio output options in voicemail, the bluetooth headset option is right there.
    I made sure this was an A2DP enabled bluetooth headset before I bought it.
    What could the problem be? How might I fix it?

    it could be broken
    I would test it with another device which supported a2dp most computers bluetooth (if they have bluetooth most laptops does)
    other phones also
    if it works with nothing then it's broken or does not support a2dp correctly
    if it works with everything else then it's just strangely incompatible with your iphone

  • Why does Apple Bluetooth for iOS not support SPP profile?

    I am curious why this really useful protocol is not supported by iOS.
    Thanks for any information.
    What I would do with it: develop software to support my favorite OBD-II interface hardware, PLX Devices Kiwi Bluetooth.

    KT,
    Thanks for your reply.
    There are some iOS apps that support OBD-II, generally by a specific manufacturer for their hardware. Much of this hardware is "not very good". PLX is a unique company with great hardware, I already own a Kiwi BT ($$) and do not want to buiy lesser junk just so I can buy the single-source software that comes with it. PLX provides an open interface architecture that happens to be SPP Bluetooth. There is a lot of great software for it from different angles...all Android. I used to have an android phone when I bought the Kiwi. The Kiwi Wifi is supported by Apple, I will buy that if I have to get more hardware... but not happily. Apple has restricted SPP from the "bubble", I just want to know why?
    Regards,
    Jack

  • Bluetooth Headset will not work following upgrade of PC desktop software

    Recently I updated my laptop with the latest desktop software in order to allow synchronization between Microsoft Office 2010 and my blackberry tour.
    The sync works!
    But now that I have upgraded, I am having a problem with my bluetooth headset.
    After syncing my phone to my PC over bluetooth, my bluetooth headset connects to the phone ok but when you try to use it no sound comes through either the headset ear piece or the phone.
    So if you try and dial a number, the phone rings where you are calling but you cannot hear the ringing or the person on the other end once they have answered it.
    To correct the problem you have to remove the battery from the phone.   Then once you replace the battery and wait 5 - 7 minutes for the phone to re-initialize the headset works just fine.   Until the next time you sync the phone with the laptop of course.   Then the headset stops working again.
    I have tried deleting all the bluetooth devices from the phone and re-connecting them.  Does not help.
    Anyone else seeing this problem?
    This is my 2nd blackberry.   My 1st was a Perl on T-Mobile. Never had a problem.   But this tour from verizon has be a problem from the start.    Think my next phone is likely to be anything but blackberry!

    Hello ralpha,
    I would suggest you back up your BlackBerry data and clear the Bluetooth Options database. Re-Pair your headset and try making calls again.
    KB10167 will show you how to clear individual databases.
    Let me know how you make out.

  • When I send a photo to someone by bluetooth it says "not supported content"

    i just got this BB curve 8520 today and I tried to send a photo to a friend via bluetooth, but they couldn't open it. Instead, it said "not supported content". I can send stuff to my friend from my old Nokia phone. Any idea what's wrong?

    There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

  • PPCG4 hardware not supported

    I've got a PPCG4 FW800 1.25GHz DP & 1.25GB RAM OSX 10.4.6 and ProKit 3.1 framework. When I try to launch Aperture 1.0 it tells me that my hardware isn't supported and quits.
    The specs state that the app supports "1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4 processor"
    Any ideas appreciated?

    Correct, the machine is not adequate. IMO Apple's use of the term "unsupported by Aperture" is unfortunate, because the semantic implication is that Aperture does not "support" a particular box. As a consequence dozens of folks have posted wanting to know when Aperture will be modified to "support" their boxes; as if the engineers just need to write some code to facilitate each hardware configuration (like printer drivers; or enablers that fit the OS to specific boxes).
    IMO it would be more clear if Apple just identified boxes like yours (and my tower) as "this hardware is not powerful enough to run Aperture."
    Although some speed improvements on the software side (both OS and app versions) can usually be made, the basic issue is that it takes strong hardware to drive heavy graphics applications. E.g. the best 2005 Powerbooks were the first time Photoshop was really usable on any Powerbook, and that just "adequate."
    Aperture (designed to handle batches of hundreds of RAW image files) requires strong hardware including the CPU, RAM, hard drives, etc. (and especially the GPU, as noted). In the long term, app designers always take advantage of the stronger power of newer boxes, so we should plan - like Photoshop users have learned through 9 versions - on buying the high end of Macs at any given point in time if we want to have adequate throughput power to drive future versions of Aperture, Photoshop, etc.
    Note that my expectation is that by 2007-2008 heavy graphics apps will be wanting more RAM and strong GPUs. Buyers of boxes limited to 2 GB max RAM and/or lesser graphics should expect performance to be limited accordingly. E.g. Photoshop CS2 boxes already perform best when configured with 6-8 GB RAM.

  • Audio Hardware not supported by IDT Drivers

    Hi,
    I accidentally uninstalled my IDT Audio Drivers. Now my audio does not work at all. When I go to install the drivers suggested by the HP Software Support section, the drivers display this message during installation: "The hardware detected is not supported by this IDT software package. The install will be aborted."

    Hi,
    The first option I'd suggest trying is to run Windows System Restore. 
    If you have Norton Internet Security installed, you will need to disable Norton Tamper Protection as shown on the link below.
    Norton Tamper Protection.
    Once you've done this, shut down the notebook.  Windows System Restore is usually best run in Safe Mode.  Tap away at f8 as you start the notebook to enter Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and hit enter.  When this has loaded, from the Start Menu, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and launch System Restore.  Pick a restore point at least 24 hours before the original audio driver was deleted and then proceed with the restore process.  When complete, Windows will reboot as normal.

  • Hardware not supporting old kernels!!

    Yesterday I bought M/board Asus P5V800 + Intel LGA775 Pentium 4 CPU
    http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3 … odelmenu=1
    Either the new CPU (socket LGA775) or the M/borad, doesn't support Kernel-2.6.11 (my custom kernel) but the latest 2.6.16. I also tried Archie Live CD (2.6.x) and Knoppix 3.6 (2.4.x), doesn't work. In Knoppix booting freezes asking for "south bridge dma", in Archie no X support, and in HD no X and LAN support.
    In Windows, doesn't support Win 98. Runs but cannot install some of the board sources. Drive install CD for 2000 and XP only.
    <b>For my information, is this a common restriction of LGA775?</b>
    Note: End of the day I sold the hardwares and upgraded my old Celeron (socket 478) to Pentium. Pentium 4 with Celeron doesn't work well managing heavy multitask work. Compiling apps and at the same running X apps freezing the machine.

    Windows has shoddy driver support until 2000/XP.  I also found this out first hand trying to install Windows ME with what should be considered very old compatible drivers.  That's we me pops runs latest standard kernel with Arch Linux now.  It loves the hardware (not literally), but me pops loves the Arch.
    So, it goes, backwards compatible is easy, forward compatible depends on too many things like driver unification and just how shoddy the OS is (MS).  I'm just amazed at how much of a mule the OS can be when it has trouble recognizing hardware.  so I had this thread:  "I would rather spend a week causually installing/configuring arch than the rest of my life installing Windows ME."...or something to that effect.
