Bluetooth question

I just bought a mac mini and now I am looking at bluetooth mouse and keyboard on ebay. Because the mini has built in bluetooth, does that mean that I do not need to buy the bluetooth adaptor? And all I will need is the bluetooth mouse and keyboard?

You do not need the Bluetooth adapter if your computer has a Bluetooth module built-in. The adapter enables Bluetooth devices to be used through a computer's USB port.

HDD & Bluetooth questions

Well Im getting a Macbook for school. Only thinks I dont like about it are the single button trackpad since I will be using Bootcamp and the small size and costs for upgrading the internal HDD. My first questions is.
What suggestions do you have for Bluetooth mice that dont spaz out at random times. (I dont know exactly how bluetooth works but how long do the batteries generally last and how do i recharge?)
Then my second questions is is it possible to not only partition the Mac internal HDD for Windows and Mac Os but also external HDDs? (Is firewire better or usb for univeral uses?)
Thank you

You can recharge a rechargeable battery by putting it in a battery charger designed to operate on that type of battery, and plugging it in.
The instructions on this page can be used to partition an external drive so that it contains both Mac OS Extended and FAT32 or NTFS partitions. You should use a FireWire drive, or a model which has both FireWire and USB 2.0 ports.

FORD TRANSIT CONNECT VAN bluetooth question

The Ford Transit van uses Nokia bluetooth . I have a question regarding connectivity .

Hi JeffinMass
It's probably more which Nokia device you are trying to use with it that's the issue here. Unfortunately Nokia Bluetooth connectivity never seems as universal as say any Sony Ericsson device.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

K7N2L Bluetooth question

Hi
Ive have connected the D (bluetooth) bracket on my K7N2 L based system.
Can anyone tell me if I need to fit an antenna or does the transeiver on the D-Bracket perform this function?
I'm about to get an iPaq 5550 and want to connect to my PC via bluetooth and share my broadband connection for internet access.
Any tips or advice on how to set this up would be very welcome.
Thanks
Rob :-)

Hello Wonkanoby
Thanks for the lightening fast reply!
I just have a few questions...
I presume that I can use any BT module or is it best to stick with the MSI kit. Any recommendations?
I dont mean to state the obvious but I'm curious to know in what way the "dedicated" port differs from other USB ports.
Thanks
Rob
PS Sunny London??? Sometimes for sure but alas not today! The sky looks like mushroom soup from here!

Centro to Laptop Bluetooth Question

Recently purchased a Toshiba Bluetooth to allow my Centro to hotsync with my laptop. Downloaded the latest Palm Centro software. Palm Desktop ver 6.2.2 and hotsync ver 7.0.2 Still unable to establish connection? Can anyone provide advice?
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Shift your attention to the Windows Hotsync section of this Forum, where you will find USB drivers available to sync with 64bit systems.
You can then sync normally with your Hotsync cable.

Bluetooth Question - Mouse AND Keyboard?

Hey guys. I just bought a new MacBook. It's pretty sweet, I must say.
But I have one question. If I bought a wireless keyboard and the wireless mighty mouse, would I be able to use both? Because they both use Bluetooth (I'm talking about the official Apple ones) and I want to know if I can use both or if I can use just one before making a purchase.
Thanks in advance.

Personally, I prefer the Apple ones. I have two sets to use with my computers.
Some people like the logitech ones. I just prefer to use the official ones - even if they are a little bit more pricey, they always work and feel so good.

Bluetooth question - skype

Hi,
I am new to bluetooth and to SKYPE. I have been using Skype with my macbook in speaker phone only mode. I am thinking of geting a headset for it so the sound quality is better. Will a bluetooth headset with with my macbook and connecting to skype?

Yes, I have seen plenty of BT headsets used with Skype - especially the Motorola ones.
BT is BT so it does not care what connects to it. That is the great think about BT.

IPod touch 2nd gen Bluetooth question

I'm wondering if the iPod 2nd gen has Bluetooth. I'm getting mixed answers from unreliable sources, and I'm hoping for the straight poop.
If the 2nd gen doesn't, then what about the 3rd gen?
Thanks.

Thanks for the article, roaminggnome. That confirmed my suspicions. For some reason, bluetooth is not listed as a wireless interface on the product specs... don't know what that's all about...
I was wondering this because I was going to need bluetooth headphones for my computer, and I couldn't warrant that kind of purchase unless I could use it with another device(s).
Thanks for the help!!

pianoman1976,
Gimme a sec......
Here you go:
To remove kernel extensions for AirPort hardware:
1 Open the /System/Library/Extensions folder.
2 Drag the following files to the Trash:
AppleAirPort.kext
AppleAirPort2.kext
AppleAirPortFW.kext
3 Open Terminal and enter the following command:
$ sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
Just removing a kext isn't always enough, as some or all of them are cached. Updating the modification date/time of the directory in the above path flushes those caches, and thereby disables the service without doubt.

Bluetooth question. Re-enable ignored devices?

I chose to select the option to ignore a "found" bluetooth device in the bluetooth settings, and now i need to reverse that decision so i can pair the device again.
i cannot see any option to do this and resetting the phone (even a restore doesnt seem to help)

Here are some articles on bluetooth and iphone troubleshooting:

Bluetooth question on capabilities of a bluetooth

My last bluetooth that I had (Jabra brand), I could use it with my phone, I could listen to missed calls on it and it would link to my computer and I could also listen to calls through my email through the bluetooth and I could also listen to movies on my laptop through the bluetooth. My world was perfect.
Then the bluetooth stopped working, so I purchased another Jabra bluetooth, of course different and much newer model. The box said it would connect to my laptop and my phone.
But I can't listen to voicemail messages on my phone nor on my computer, nor can I listen to a movie on my laptop through the new blue tooth.
Can anyone tell me where I can get a bluetooth so I can get back to my perfect world?

A bluetooth what?
Headset? Headphone? Speaker? Car stereo?
Saying you need "a bluetooth" doesn't make any sense. Much like saying "I need an electric..." - an electric what? Toothbrush? Toaster?

Wireless and Bluetooth questions.

Why does my wireless shut off when my bluetooth keyboard is synced? I have the apple keyboard and I have the ipad 4th gen with the latest iOS update.

Hey maiki,
I see you are asking about the Deskjet 460 mobile printer and wanting to know about the BT/WiFi capacity. There are add-on modules, as you mentioned, produced by HP for this and are the ones required to make this device work in this capacity. I have seen people try before with other methods and not had success. I checked with some of my resources in HP to double check this for you and was informed of the same thing.
If you would like I can work to help you find one of these modules to use with the printer as these are older and not still produced. Let me know if you need assistance in this manner.
I hope this helps to clarify,
Jason

Easy Bluetooth question

Hello. My cell phone is several years old and I am thinking about getting a new one (the Razors look good) if it's worth it. It would be nice to be able to synch up my contacts and calendar with my laptop and I am wondering how much of a hassle it would be to hook it all up with my Ti-Book 867 OS 10.3.9. USB Bluetooth dongle I suppose and then iSynch? How well does this actually work? What is the set up like? I ask because I had a Palm device years ago and it was a real hassle and had reduced functionality with Mac so I pretty much never used it. I want to avoid another waste of time and money. Thanks very much for your help and suggestions.

Oops...I just realized that I probably should have posed this in the category about Bluetooth (the new forum layout has confused me). Instead of multiple-posting I'll just leave this here and convey my sincere apologies. Sorry...

Bluetooth Questions

I am confused about the settings for Bluetooth - and the MANUAL doesn't explain these 2 options .... Can anyone help?
- Option : Discoverable (make device discoverable) -- What exactly does this do? Is it the PHONE that is "discoverable", or the Bluetooth accessory? Do you just set it to ON and leave it?
- Option: Enhanced Stereo -- How do I know if my Motorokr S305 headset supports this? Do you just always leave it ON ?
lastly - the "order" of turning on things ... I seem to have a hit and miss as far as when this works completely. Do you always have to have the Bluetooth turned on FIRST before powering up a headset? I can't seem to find any consistency to get it to work 100% of the time.
Thanks

I have the S305 and the s9HD from Motorola and the enhanced stereo provides some better audio sound, but I am not sure of the technical nature of it. As far as discoverable mode, you must look at what you are attempting to do. A headset must be set to discovery mode so that your phone can discover the headset when it searches, but if you are attempting to talk with another phone with bluetooth your phone must be set to be discoverable so the other phone can discover it and visa versa. As far as what as what needs to be turned on first, usually it doesn't matter. A headset will not find your phone but it will be searching until you turn on your bluetooth on your phone. If your phone bluetooth is on it will be searching for anything that it has been paired with previously. That's my two cents worth.
