Bluetooth wireless upgrades

Just upgraded OS from Panther to Leopard 10.5.8. Can I now upgrade keyboard & mouse to the bluetooth wireless type?

Let me direct you to the correct forum. This is the Apple Discussions for the Intel iMacs, not the PowerPC iMacs.
Using your iMac (Flat Panel)
For those vintage Macs Bluetooth was an option, not standard build. Otherwise if it was not built with Bluetooth you can often purchase a Bluetooth dongle and plug it into a USB port to add Bluetooth capability. But I am not familiar with the ins and outs of your model and Apple's bluetooth keyboards and mouses. The folks in that forum would be your best help on the issue.

  • Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard not Connecting to iPad

    Hey, I try to connect my Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is not connecting to my iPad. I tap Bluetooth "On" and it searches for devices. Then I slide the switch on the back of my keyboard to the green light and the iPad picks it up and says "Not Paired." So I tap the keyboard and it just spins and spins and spins until the keyboard times out and powers off. Then it disappears and my iPad can't find any devices. I repeated the process several times and I got the same result.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    I had a very similar problem, with a new model wireless keyboard. The set-up is not very intuitive (and the instructions for both the iPad and the keyboard are not particularly helpful). Here's how I got it to work:
    1. If the keyboard has already been paired with another object -- e.g., I was testing out my iMac keyboard -- you should be completely out of range of that other object (more than 30 feet away).
    2. Make sure Bluetooth on the iPad is disabled.
    3. The keyboard should not be "on" -- i.e., no solid green light.
    4. Press and hold the power button on the keyboard until you get a blinking green light. This should take just a few seconds.
    5. Turn on Bluetooth on the iPad.
    6. At this point, it should detect the keyboard and instruct you to enter a combination of keys to pair the two devices.
    I found that you have to follow this sequence or it won't work. For example, if you have Bluetooth on on the iPad before holding the power button on the keyboard, it won't work.
    I hope that helps.

  • Blackberry as a Bluetooth Wireless Modem

    I want to set up my Blackberry 8703e as a bluetooth wireless modem. i have researched this and found many pages so far but still struggle putting the whole connection together. Has anyone done this? Any pro tips?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    All indications are that the RIM Blackberry 8703e does not support the Bluetooth DUN profile required to enable dial up networking, or what some refer to as 'tethering' by Bluetooth. This Verizon-supplied chart specifically indicates that the Bluetooth DUN profile is not present on or support for your device:

  • I just purchased the BEM Wireless Projector.  Is it "Bluetooth" wireless?  The only way I can make it work is with cables.

    I just purchased a BEM Wireless Projector.  Is it "Bluetooth" Wireless?  The only way I can get it to work is with cables.
    I also purchased "Ultimate Ears UE Boom" speaker.  I was hoping to run it simultaneously for the sound while projecting video on the BEM Projector.  Can this be done?

    The projector is not wireless.
    See this:
    Kickstand Micro Projector from BEM Wireless
    http://smallbiztrends.com/2014/02/micro-projector-bem-wireless-review.html
    Clarity on the name – I thought the projector operated on a wireless frequency. It does not. The company got its start in wireless speakers and thus the company name creates a little bit of confusion.  However, small point – the projector still works great and when I think about it – trying to run big files via wireless would be pretty tough.
    And you can use the Bluetooth speakers.

  • Apple bluetooth wireless mouse

    My Apple bluetooth wireless mouse loses it's connection when my computer goes to sleep. Before SL I could wake my computer with my mouse. Now I can't because the mouse doesn't have a connection. It seems that sleep turns off bluetooth connectivity.
    I am using 10.6.1

    I was having system crashes to, but after allowing "wake from sleep" everything was fine - for a while.
    NOW my mouse works in that it moves the cursor around the screen, but it doesn't click. I've given up and gone back to my wired mouse. The wired mouse works just fine - it just has a tether.
    I read that there is a new mouse in the works - maybe that will help. For some weird reason, I've noticed over the years that as new product is about to be introduced or is very new, my old product develops hiccups. I have a paranoid suspicion that software is updated to accommodate the new without understanding all the relationships with the old.
    Try checking your crash logs and see if there is a consistent thread involved.

    HellO:
    I would not waste time trying to troubleshoot the problem.  Since it is new, call Applecare with a warranty problem.  I had a similar problem with a new KB some time ago and it was replaced at no cost (shipping included).

  • Unable to Delete Previous Update/Wireless Upgrades Hangs

    I have a BlackBerry Curve 8310 and recently upgrade the OS to 4.5. I read in the manual that the old OS is kept on the BB for 30 days but can be deleted by going to Options - Advanced - Wireless Upgrades. However, when I do that it just says Retrieving Upgrades and never does anything. Hitting the menu key does nothing either. Any advice? Thanks.
    Carl

    I've never heard of that... If you are pleased with the new upgrade, don't worry about the old.
    I don't believe it is still on your device.

  • Event ID 1 for Intel Bluetooth Wireless High Speed after Windows Update

    After the automatic update for Windows I received the following error message in the Event viewer, telling me that Intel Bluethooth Wireless High Speed has to be reinstalled after the update.
    How do I reinstall Intel Bluethooth Wireless High Speed on my notebook?
    Source: ApplicationExperienceInfrastructure

    Yeah, I tried it exactly as described.
    I use the Satellite U940-11X (PSU6SE) which has as network adapters the Realtek PCIe FE Family Controler and the Intel Centrino Wireless Adapter N 2230. The OS platform is Windows 8, 64bit.
    I first uninstalled the existing Intel Bluetooth driver, then the Intel ProSet Wireless software.
    I downloaded the newest software from Intel's website which is:
    - BT_2.6.1212_e64.exe, version 2.6.1212, 19-3-2013, for the Intel bluetooth software and
    - Wireless_15.6.1_e64.exe, version 15.6.1, 19-3-2013, for the Intel PROSet/Wireless Software and Drivers
    I have installed both software packages correctly and did not receive any error messages.
    The installation seems to be faultless.
    However, the bluetooth switch in PC settings (wireless tab) remains gray.
    I cannot switch it from off to on.
    In the device manager the bluetooth button is listed under hidden devices.
    Where is the mistake?
    Is it possible that my notebook requires specially modified drivers from the Toshiba website and/or additional drivers like to "bluetooth filter driver package" provided by Toshiba for my notebook model?
    As to the bluetooth filter driver package it reads on the website that this driver is needed to enable bluetooth on your Atheros wlan-combo-card.
    I am confused now because the notebook Satellite U940 11X (PSU6SE) doesn't have the Atheros card.
    Any advice for me?
    Thanks in advance

  • Issues with Bluetooth/Wireless Mighty Mouse since Snow Leopard Install

    Hi,
    I am having issues with my bluetooth wireless mighty mouse. It was fine after initially having installed Snow Leopard. However, in the past week it has become progressively more and more unresponsive. It functions perfectly normal for the first while after startup, then after a short period of time it becomes slow to respond to the mouse movements that move the cursor. Eventually it gets to the point that moving the mouse results in no cursor movement whatsoever. It also becomes unresponsive to squeezing the side buttons. There are no issues with clicking or scrolling with the track ball.
    I have searched the discussion forums to find issues that pertain to "bluetooth" and "wireless mighty mouse" and have tried the following suggested remedies... Repairing my Mouse with my Mac mini. Renaming my mouse. Deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from Macintosh HD\Library\Preferences and restarting my Mac. Reset PRAM and NVRAM. Also tried to install Bluetooth Firmware update 2.0.1 but I get an indication that the update is not needed on my Mac mini. I have also checked for software updates but there are none...
    I am going to attempt resetting the SMC but am doubtful that this will help...
    Can anyone help... Please... ?
    Thanks,
    Des

    I had read in another forum where someone had an understanding that the bluetooth problem had something to do with Airport/Time Capsule. I had also read about how someone was having an issue with being unable to turn off airport. (I had this same problem.)
    Upon deleting a few airport related plist files (see below url) I was able to turn off/on airport AND my Mouse issue has no longer appeared... everything is working a-ok now.
