Bluetooth stack Incompatabilities

Hello folks,
I am new to the Wiimote, which is the bluetooth device I was hoping to use. However, the wiimote I bought turns out to be a cheap knockoff of the originla Nintendo Wiimotes. Surely there is comprehendable bluetooth technology even in this device though!
I was hoping to use the software 'OSCulator' to read the data being sent from this device.
I was wondering if anyone out there knows of any software that can be installed on Macbook Pro 10.6.8 that can understand/except/read the data being transmitted by the cheapmote. I stumbled across a video that mentions different types of bluetooth stacking/coding. I do not understand this, but at least I am now aware there's more than one method of bluetooth (I hope).
Note I am not trying to find an easy way round this. I am more intrigued to know what can be done about the problem, and learn a little more about using the bluetooth protocol as I go.
Thanks in advance!
P.

The stacking information refers to Bluetooth implementations on different devices (as I understand it, drivers required vs no drivers).  I have no clue what Apple uses, but I think I can say that you, as a user, should not be concerned (or interested) in the underlying information.

  • Satellite P750: Unable to install Bluetooth Stack driver on Windows 7 (x64)

    Hello.
    I own a *Satellite P750-02T* (Part no. *PSAY3A-02T001*).
    In the order what I did:
    1) I formatted its HDD and reinstalled OS to *Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1*.
    Then I downloaded *ONLY BIOS and the drivers* from [its Downloads page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] :
    2) I updated its BIOS to *v1.90* (the laptop came with v1.80)
    3) I installed all the drivers:
    - both LAN and WiFi
    - Intel Chipset (latest available)
    - all video drivers (Intel HD Graphics, NVIDIA Graphics, and Intel HDMI)
    - Card Reader
    - Realtek HD Audio (latest)
    - Synaptics Touchpad
    - USB3.0
    - IR
    - TV-Tuner
    However, I'm *unable to install the Bluetooth driver (v8.00.06(T)* )...
    When I run setup from the [above-mentioned page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] it partially detects *'Bluetooth USB Controller-10 from TOSHIBA'* (USB\VID_0930&PID_0215&REV_001)
    and then installation simply freezes displaying +'Installing the Bluetooth Driver. Please wait+.' and stays like that forever...
    I also tried downloading a driver from [another location|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download-toshiba] for TOSHIBA notebooks - v8.00.02(T):
    and followed installation instructions displayed under 'Details'
    but there was the same outcome - the setup simply freezes...
    Installing Hotfix (*KB978258*) recommended there didn't work either - the message '+The update is not applicable to your computer+' pops up.
    And I understand why - this Hotfix is [already included|http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/B/A/EBA55FE2-373A-4351-9346-6D762B79AA69/Updates%20in%20Win7%20and%20WS08R2%20SP1.xls] into Service Pack 1 for MS Windows 7.
    I spent hours searching on the Internet for a solution. Although there were some similar cases none of the recommendations actually worked. I tried installing:
    - WiFi driver before installing Bluetooth (someone suggested that those two are the parts of the same card);
    - resuming installation in Safe Mode;
    - *Toshiba Value Added Package* hoping those tools somehow will kick in.
    Nothing worked...
    It's interesting that when for the sake of experiment I tried to run installation for my generic Bluetooth adapter (using the driver [for non-TOSHIBA notebooks|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download]) then everything run smoothly!
    *Using Bluetooth connection on this laptop is very crucial for me.*
    I hope I shall not have to return this wonderful notebook as I know TOSHIBA is one of the best manufactures and am sure there is a solution to this problem.
    Thank you very much.
    Evgeny.

    For FN functionality you must install Toshba Value added package. Toshiba flash cards utility is part of this package.

  • Portege M200: How to rectify Bluetooth Stack upgrade failure

    I was upgrading the Bluetooth stack of my portege M200 with the drivers posted on Toshiba's website. during the end my laptop hung up. Had no option but to resatart the same.
    Eversince all bluetooth functionality is showing errors, whenever I am trying to reinstall or unisntall the incomplete installation, I get a message that 'look for Bluetooth Stack for Windows from Toshiba.msi' as there is no installtion record of the same.
    Now-neither can I uninstall the half installation of the upgrade niether can I re-install the upgrade.
    I am in a fix and need help???.
    Is there a way to rectify this problem

    Still dosent help, when I tried installing the old driver, I guess it looked at the current installation of the new driver and it needed to uninstall that first. I still got the same message 'The feature that you are trying to use is available on another network' and is looking for the file at the following address 'U:\nbtools\__XPT_Tools-CDs\PMR400288EU0 EN FR GR IT Firebolt10 SPM20 XPT CD1\Bluetooth Stack\UK\'.
    I am sure that there must be a method to nullify this installation from the registry and install and over-write the new installation completely.
    I have never worked on the registry before. I try to recover the system
    Thanks for helping
    Bye

  • Problem removing bluetooth stack / hidden devices / COM ports not released

    Hi
    Having problem completely removing Toshiba Bluetooth stack / hidden devices / com ports not released
    I uninstalled Toshiba BT s/w...
    But:
    1) Toshiba BT hidden devices still appear and I can not remove (get error)
    2) COM ports occupied by Toshiba BT not released (so they cannot be used by another BT stack) and still appear in registry
    ex: friendly name Toshiba BT Port (COM4) still in registry
    3) These unreleased com ports do NOT appear in device manager
    Thanks

    It seems that you still have some configurations which were not removed during the uninstallation.
    This means that the resources can not be release, because those are still necessary in case of a
    new installation of the stack.
    The first I would try is the following:
    - Install the latest Toshiba Bluetooth stack.
    - Uninstall it. Ensure that you answer all questions with "yes" ! This means also the one which asks if all configurations should be removed.
    - Reboot
    - Check again

    I never got any Bluesoleil stack to ever work with any version of PC Suite.  However, as of Windows XP SP2, the Microsoft Bluetooth protocol stack appears to detect "several" Bluesoleil Bluetooth compatible dongles and will use them.  However, these will have limited functionality as Microsoft limits their Bluetooth support.

  • Error: Unable to start the bluetooth stack service

    HP Pavilion g7-2017us, Windows 7
    After starting up I get the error message: UNABLE TO START THE BLUETOOTH STACK SERVICE.
    First, I don't know what that means ... Second, I don't know how to remedy the problem.
    Can anyone help please? ... THANKS!

    Steps I would suggest are:
    1. Update Bluetooth Device Driver. Steps to update the device driver:
    i. Click on Start
    ii. Select Control Panel
    iii. Select System and maintenance
    iv. Click Device Manager (If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.)
    v. In the Device manager locate the Blue tooth device
    vi. Click the Driver tab, and then select Update driver
    If its still not fixed go to step 2
    2. Uninstall the Bluetooth device, restart the computer and install the latest drivers.

    Hello!
    I have Satellite A300D with Windows 7 and Bluetooth Stack by Toshiba (ver. 7.00.10)
    I 'd like to connect my mobile phone to notebook over bluetooth. I have tried to add a new connection in Bluetooth Stack. BS has found my phone, but coudln't connect to. BS has showed an error message "Unable to find a service" (I have a Russian version of Bluetooth Stack, so I have to translate the message). And I don't know what service is not running, BS give no additional information.
    Please, advise me what can i do to solve my problem.

    I think you should enable bluetooth service in Administrative tools- Services:

  • Microsoft Wireless Presenter 8000 mouse and Toshiba Bluetooth Stack

    Some of the specific functionalities of this MS Bluetooth Mouse do not work with the latest Toshiba Bluetooth Stack : magnifier, digital ink...
    The other functions of this mouse (and the remote controller functions too) work perfectly. The magnifier, digital ink, etc..., are working only if the MS USB controller provided with this bluetooth mouse is plugged in.
    Many hardware sites and forums are talking about this problem, ie at the end of this page : http://www.hardware-pacers.com/pages.php?catType=r&pid=352&id=968&pageX=on
    Is there a chance to have these functions (magnifier, digital ink...) working with a future release of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack ? Any idea of a delay ? Or any idea of a tip to have this working today ?

    Of course : I have installed the latest version of IntelliPoint software. A mouse/remote as sophisticated as the Wireless Presenter 8000 can't work without its software.
    But one more time, I speak about a Bluetooth MS Mouse, and what I don't understand is that a few funtionnalities (magnifier, digital ink) only works with the MS USB plug delivered with the mouse.
    What I'd like is to use ALL the functionnalities of my bluetooth mouse with only the bluetooth adapter integrated into my Toshiba Libretto U100.

  • Question about Toshiba Bluetooth stack V.4

    Hi
    We have a Fujitsu Siemens P7120 Laptop which requires the Toshiba Bluetooth stack located at http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/pages/download.php
    When we install this in silent mode, the installation takes place however the Bluetooth does not initialise until the Toshiba Bluetooth information exchanger is launched!
    Is there anyway to make the whole installation complete without this other step?

    You should use the BT-stack of FSC. I also tried to install an OEM version of the Toshiba BT-stack, but in this case it was time limited. So check the "About" menu item to get get more details.

  • How to use Satellite P100 with MS Vista and MS Bluetooth stack?

    I'm using my Sat P100 for more than one year. I just reinstalled Windows Vista Ultimate from scratch, and because I'm really not so much satisfied with Toshiba's Bluetooth stack, I'm trying to use original Microsoft's Bluetooth stack, which comes with Vistas.
    After reinstall, Windows found BT device and installed MS BT stack. Everything worked well, but ufetr downloading and installing tons of updates including SP1, BT device completely disappeared. I found some articles about how to switch from Toshiba to Microsoft BT Stack, but it seems to be a XP sollutions, and mainly it always need to install "Bluetooth Monitor for MS Stack", but I cannout find this download for MS VIsta.
    Can anyone help? Thanx!

    I've got it!!!
    I have fond one sollution: maybe not excellent, but working!
    1. Check if you have latest Toshiba Bluetooth stack installed (here: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=download)
    1.1 If you have older version, uninstall it, reboot, install latest one, reboot.
    1.2 If you don't have any version installed, install the latest one.
    2. Assuming you installed to default location, copy this folder to any backup location, including complete directory structure: c:\Program Files\Toshiba\Bluetooth Toshiba Stack\
    3. Go to Start/Control panel/Programs and Features and uninstall whole Toshiba Bluetooth stack, reboot
    4. After rebooting, there is again "Bluetooth devices" applet in Control panels (it was previously disabled by Toshiba's Bluetooth Stack), but you cannot see any HW Bluetooth device
    5. Go to backup location (into ..\Bluetooth Toshiba Stack\) and run AS.exe.
    6. It will start installing BT devices, BT icon will appear in Tray.
    7. Installer will hang on cca 5th box, but never mind, all drivers are already installed.
    8. Maybe you can cancel installer, but I feared that it will roll-back installed drivers, so I simply killed this Install process (Ctrl+Alt+Del, Start Task manager, Select BT installer in Apps and Kill it)
    9. Whow, it works now event after restarting.
    10. Your feedback welcome! ;)

    the bluetooth icon beside clock didn't show the option to enable/disable bluetooth and also through the settings (in the side charm), change PC settings, PC and devices, Bluetooth also it doesn't show to enable or disable Bluetooth.

  • Sat 5100 Bluetooth stack don't work

    Whatever setting is tested, the response is "Bluetooth is not ready"
    - setting COM ports
    - opening new connection
    Debice is properly switched on both physically (switch) and in bluetooth manager.
    Hardware problem?

    Hi,
    did you changed the settings of the Bluetooth Stack? Did it worked yet?
    If it is a hardware problem is complicated to say here in the forum. Here is a hint when you want to know safely if there is a hardware problem you could safe your data and make a recovery, after the recovery process the notebook is setted to manufaturer settings and the Bluetooth should work!
    But before you make the recovery check the settings of the Stak, the settings of the hardware in the devicemanager in the control panel, also the Bluetooth driver should be checked!

  • Bluetooth not working even after reinstalling Bluetooth Stack and Monitor

      I have a Satellite L70-A PSKNAU-06N06W which was U.S. custom ordered with bluetooh installed. It worked fine for 4 months then stopped. OS is Win7. After reading the boards I downloaded:
       Toshiba Bluetooth Stack for Windows, 9.00.03T
       tc00442200e.exe
       Bluetooth Monitor, 4.08
       tc00299500g.exe
    It still doesn't work.Bluetooth Settings says "Bluetooth is not ready" and Bluetooth Assistant says "Autosearch has stopped because Bluetooth power is turned off."
    In Device Manager under Bluetooth, Bluetooth V4.0 Module(WB335) and Bluetooth RFComm both have the yellow triangle flags.When I Update Driver Software-Browse  my computer- Windows tells me the driver is up to date.When I ask the updater to search automatically it says either that or that the software is corrupted and to contact the manufacturer.
    I would appreciate any advice to solve this problem, thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    In Device Manager, look under Network adapters.
    If you cannot identify the Bluetooth there, then check the wireless. Assume it's the same.
