Bluetooth usb with internal bluetooth

my mac pro's bluetooth doesn't work very well , i tried adding a usb dongle to it and that didn't even activate
anyone got any suggestions ?
ta

i improvised and it all seems to work ok now
i'm using bluetooth for the keyboard and everything apart from the mouse
and using a usb extension to a keyboard to a mighty mouse as a wired mouse extension
it's a cludge - but it works - it's no hassle really - tbh bluetooth isn't that important to me
as you said - don't even think about opening up the internals and fiddling with the motherboard - the people who have may well regret it as the wires they're moving may be needed in the future for something !?
thanks again

  • When I restart my computer and hold the option key after creating a bootable usb with windows 7 and partitioning only the original partition shows up. Not the windows one or the bootable usb.

         Okay so first things first this isn't the newest macbook pro. When I open about my mac and go to system report it says it is a Macbook Pro 3,1 and the Boot Rom Version say MBP31.0070.B07. Originally when starting up Boot Camp Assistant there where only two options, the "create windows 7 bootable usb" was not there at all. So after some editing and helpful tutorials I was able to get the option show up and created a bootable usb with windows 7 and downloaded the support software onto a separate flash drive. Finally I did the last step and created a second partition for windows. Once the process is complete my computer automatically restarts.
         This is where the problem is. Once my computer makes the booting up sound it doesn't load up windows it gets stuck on a apple logo as if it's trying to reastart normally and can't. So I shut down and this time I hold down the option key during start up. It brings up the main partition and some recovery thing but no windows partiton and no bootable usb.
         I forgot to mention that I am running OS X 10.9.3. Okay any body want to help me out? Iv'e been at this for hours and can't get an inch closer to having windows. Please and thank you!
    P.S. If I missed a discussion that answer my question just point me to it. Iv'e been looking for a while, but who knows i might have missed one.

    The only known way to make it work on an external drive is by first installing Windows onto an internal drive, then cloning the install to an external Thunderbolt drive. Thunderbolt is seen as an extension of the internal bus, so Windows doesn't see it as an external device.

  • MacPro 5,1 - 6 Hard Drives (with internal Superdrive)

    I'm throwing this out there because I searched for a long time for an EASY way to set up 6 hard drives in the MacPro case.  This is how I did it.  I'll throw some comments in at the end for anyone interested and also what I would have liked to have done differently.  (there aren't any pictures, but I'll put up links to what I used)
    Parts List:
    2.5 inch Sata II hard drive - Western Digital 160GB (Scorpio Black)
    3.5 inch Sata II hard drive - Western Digital 2 TB (Caviar Black)

    1m 7pin Sata female to female cable - http://www.ebay.com/itm/221046259401?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m143 9.l2649
    Setup:
    1.  Pull your optical bay sled and install your two drives using your chosen mount.
    2.  Install your PCIe RAID card with internal Sata II ports.
    3.  Remove the power supply cable cover (I think that's what it's called; it's the plate immediately behind the optical bay sled, comes out with two screws)
    4.  If you have a hard drive installed in Bay 1, remove it from the case and out of your way.
    5.  Run your 1m Sata data female to female cable from your RAID card, under the top-most portion of your PCIe fan (do not remove the fan), and follow the bundled cables up through the divider, and in front of the optical bay doors.
    6.  Replace the power supply cable cover, being careful to route the Sata cable along with the other cables, and re-secure cover.
    7.  Connect Sata data splitter to Mac lower Sata connector.  You will have to do minor fabrication to the splitter to allow it to fit.
    8.  Connect the 7pin Sata data extension cable to Mac lower Sata connector.  You will have to do more minor fabrication to the splitter to allow it to fit.
    9.  Carefully replace your optical bay sled and begin connecting cables.  You should connect your superdrive to the Mac upper Sata connector first.  You should then connect the power splitter to both drives.  Then connect your Sata data cables to both drives.  You may have to adjust the position of the optical bay sled to adequately connect all cables.
    10.  Replace anything you removed (like your Bay 1 hard drive), and close up your tower.
    11.  If needed, install drivers for your PCIe card.
    12.  That's it, you're done.  Take note that if your RAID card does not have boot capability, you will only get boot functionality out of the drive that you connected using the data extension cable.  The drive you connected to the RAID card will only have boot capability if your card supports it.
    My present computer:
    MacPro 5,1 - Quad core Xeon 2.8GHz
    Hard drive 1, 2 - 64GB Striped RAID for Scratch Disk
    Hard drive 1, 2 - 900GB Unused (trying to convert at least half to a Windows XP drive, but that's another issue)
    Hard drive 3, 4 - 2TB Striped RAID for Main Data
    Hard drive lower - 160GB 2.5 inch Boot Drive
    Hard drive external (PCIe) - 2TB Time Machine
    Not including hard drives, we're talking about $60.  I wasn't sure if this combination of items was going to work out, so I wanted to keep the dollar total low.
    In retrospect, if I'm being totally honest, I should have just done what everyone said and used an external drive for time machine (or whatever 6th hard drive I wanted).  Here's why:  My RAID card doesn't have boot functionality, which I didn't think would matter.  I planned on using the drive connected to the RAID card for my Time Machine.  Everything works great, except I can't boot from my homemade OSX USB recovery drive and use Time Machine for a restore.  This is because the RAID card drivers aren't on it.  I could probably make a workaround, but I will just use my external clone if I ever need to do a full restore.  Had I used an external FireWire 800 enclosure in the first place, I wouldn't have had to worry about it.
    Notes about cables:
    Don't buy the cheapest ones you can find on eBay.  After fabricating my data extension cable, the L-shaped portion that the connectors lay on broke off inside my Mac's connector.  I threaded the connectors back in, but for now, the two are married with electrical tape.  Not very pretty, and a big reason why I didn't take the system apart to make pictures for the guide.
    Know what lengths you need.  I kind of guessed about lengths.  The data extension cable should preferably be the same length as the power splitter.  Unfortunately my power splitter was a little long, and my data extension cable was a little short.  This created the need to bend them excessively so that I could cram them into the little space that was left.  This caused my above issue in which one of the connectors broke.
    OWC MultiMount:
    This is what started my quest in the first place.  This product existed, so clearly there must be an answer for how to do it.  You can fit two drives in the lower bay, so you should do it, right?  I love OWC, but this mount is pretty junky.  It works, but it's not OEM styled.  The material they use (which they say is aluminum) is very flimsy.  I had to bend it back into position in several places to make the brackets line up.  There's no sound from the bracket while the machine is running, which is good.  But I was surprised at how seemingly low quality this mount was.  I would have been much happier with a machined aluminum mount with rubber grommets like the stock hard drive sleds.
    A word about which mount you get:  You will be much happier if you mount 2 2.5-inch drives in the lower bay (at least in a vertical configuration).  You'll have more space to work with, and other than price, there's no reason to stick a 3.5-inch drive in there (unless you're cheap like me).
    When all is said and done, I'm happy that I got 6 Hard drives crammed into my case.  I'll never (hopefully) outgrow my system.  I have 2TB of data storage (which I doubt I'll surpass).  I've got a boot disk that's plenty large, I've got a scratch disk that's super fast, and I've even got some additional high-speed hard drive space I'll hopefully get a Windows partition onto.  The better option though, would be to put one hard drive in that bay.  Skip all the add-ons, and get an external FireWire 800 enclosure.  Dedicate one port on the rear of the tower to it, and stash it out of sight.  It's exactly the same but easier to remove.
    Feel free to ask any questions.  I'll do my best to answer them.

    I am not 100% what isn't allowed.. but I am assuming you want to spread the backup across the two disks.. internal TC and 6TB external.. this is not possible.. It has to be one or the other. TC has no way to build a raid JBOD or anything else. Nor would you want to as that is the most likely to fail and kill your data.
    Let me add, backing up 6TB over USB on TC.. will be the most excruciating experience of your life.. cf child birth or passing kidney stones.. large ones.. being the male equivalent.

  • 2012 iMacs do you get a USB with OS X on?

    With the new 2012 iMacs not having a optical drive, do you get a USB with the OSX on it for reinstalling?
    If not, tree is I expect a hidden partition, but what happens if this becomes corrupt, need to upgrade the HDD etc?
    Cheers

    The OS X versions and upgrades are now done Totally on the internet.  No, you do Not get a USB stick with Mountain Lion on it.  The 2012 iMacs have a Mountain Lion Recovery Partition that you can access when rebooting, that allows you to reinstall a fresh copy of ML from the internet instead of from a Disk.  And since Mountain Lion still contains the Time Machine app, it is assumed that you will maintain on ongoing backup to an external hard drive in case your internal hard drive everbecomes corrupted or fails.
    Hope this helps

  • Problem with internal speakers of MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I wanted to know if anyone have experienced a problem with internal speakers of Mac Book Pro. In my MackBook the Internal speaker volume goes down automatically. I checked the System Preferences>Sound>Output , from there I check that it is in the middle ( Balance) However, the problem is still the exists. Just for testing I played an audio file and I moved the bar toward the right speaker it is the same and when I move toward the left speaker the whole sound goes off . Looks like one speaker stops working completely. Then I checked the Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup > Configure Speakers  from there I checked both left and right speakers and the channel frequency is fine. Still same issue.  I have no idea what is going on , I really need your suggestions to get this fixed.

    The current options available online are U.S. English, Western Spanish, French or Japanese keyboards. You might try calling 1-800-MYAPPLE to speak to someone. It's possible you might be able to get something else as a BTO option.

    Hi, I disabled the antivirus and the firewall. Same result
    I even deleted the backup folder inside C:\Users\...\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to eliminate any corruption in the old backup files.
    Nothing changed: Session either times out or i get the same error message: itunes could not back up iphone because iphone disconnected. It always happens during step 3 out of 4 which is "transfering purchased apps from iphone to PC" and comes after step 2 which is backup.
    My iphone 5 is not jailbroken, and is a factory unlocked phone.
    Any other suggestion?

  • How to create a Business Partner with internal number assignment

    Hello,
    We are using a CRM 7.0 system. We want to create a new Business Partner using LSMW. We chose IDoc basic type CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M03 to perform it. We want to create it with internal number assignment (we don't have BP ID or BP GUID). Unfortunatelly, when we leave PARTNER_NO and PARTNER_GUID fields empty, we get an error message that we should supply at least BP ID or BP GUID. So what values should we enter in order to create a BP with internal number assignment?
    Please put attention that we also don't want to enter any alternative external number because we don't want the end user to see after in the WebUI.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sergey Kozyrev

    Hello,
    Standard CRM PC UI application offers three options when you push 'New' button: 'Person', 'Organization' and 'Group' (combobox appears). In your case, 'Person' should be selected.
    p.s. If you don't see combobox mentioned above, it could be security issue.

  • Create vendor in ERP R/3 with internal number range

    HI,
    When I create a new vendor from MDM in R/3 with internal number range ADRMAS is processed OK but CREMDM is in status 51 because of missing address data.
    According to sap note  1052964 (se below) ADRMAS must be the first IDOC and it should contain the vendor number, but this is not possible with internal number range. How do you overcome this problem and how do I get the vendor number back to MDM?
    ALE inbound needs the customer / vendor account number within the ADRMAS IDoc to link the ADRMAS IDoc to the follwing DEBMAS / CREMAS IDoc correctly. Therefore field <OBJ_ID> in ADRMAS segment <E1ADRMAS> must contain exactly the same value as fields <KUNNR> / <LIFNR> in the corresponding DEBMAS / CREMAS IDoc. If this value is not provided, the Business Address Service stores the address but is unable to link the address later on to the corresponding Customer / Vendor.
    Kind regards
    Jonna

    We have worked around these problems in the past.  These are the steps we took:
    1.  We created a custom program to process a CREMDM IDOC.  This custom program was pretty simple.  It called the function module to process a CREMAS IDOC (IDOC_INPUT_CREDITOR) then did a committ.  The program captured the vendor number and then called the function module (IDOC_INPUT_ADRMAS) that processes an ADRMAS IDOC (It plugged in the previously captured Vendor number in the ADRMAS).
    2.  Using this custom program, it is not necessary in PI to split the CREMDM into a CREMAS and an ADRMAS.
    3.   The last step in the custom program kicked off transaction MDMV to trigger an outbound CREMDM IDOC back to MDM.  This was necessary to update the vendor number in MDM.
