BT Handset Support... Not supported by Builtin Bluetooth Adaptor?

There's a lot of discussion about this, and I'm still confused.
I've got a brand-spanking new G5 Dual Core machine. Bluetooth is built-in. (Software Version 1.6.6f22, Firmware Version 1.2 (1.4103) ).
Yet, the Helper application for "Set up Bluetooth Device" tell me that "Headsets are not supported on your Bluetooth Hardware".
(Alexander Traud: I know you're just about ready to hit that Reply button and paste in the same helpful instructions you've given everyone else, however it won't work on my machine because I get an error that says, "This Bluetooth device is not supported" when I try to use the Bluetooth Firmware Updater.)
Assume the PRAM has been zapped and the permissions fixed.
So, does this mean that Headsets are supported, they're just not supported by Apple's own Built-in Bluetooth Adaptor?
Dual Core G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

Please ignore post... Was using wrong BT Adaptor.

  • Does the latest Macbook Pro support Apt-X bluetooth for hi-fi audio?

    Hi
    I have read that the latest Mac Mini supports Apt-X Bluetooth for high quality audio transfer, and that Apple is introducing this technology as standard in its products, but am wondering if the mid 2010 Macbook Pro also supports this?
    If not does anyone have experience using either the Creative or Sennheiser USB dongles with the Macbook Pro? I am hoping to use the QED LIVE uPLAY receiver which supports Apt-X with the Macbook Pro, and would be interested to hear about other people's experience of this device or similar devices.
    Thanks
    Nick

    If you check out the teardowns on ifixit.com, it would seem that the Macbook, Macbook Pro and Mac Mini all use the same Bluetooth + 802.11n part from Broadcom: BCM943224PCIEBT.
    I'd imagine that if the hardware and software are the same that bluetooth support of these 3 machines should also be the same. However, I can't find any evidence for or against this. Perhaps people with these machines could test it out. Better yet, perhaps makers of apt-x supporting headphones could test this out as it may help sales. Best yet, perhaps Apple could state this on their tech spec pages if indeed these machines support apt-x...

  • Does the Ipod Touch 5th generation support AVRCP for bluetooth connectivity.

    Do the Ipod Touch 5th generation support AVRCP for bluetooth connectivity.
    I would like to know if it supports the volume control, call answering function and next/back song panel in a bluetooth headphone. (AVRCP bluetooth)
    Does it support headphones with microphone? (for Face Time, TinyChat or recording)
    Does it support this device on bluetooth with the Ipod Touch 5th Gen?

    Thanks for a speedy reply

    Though this wasn't updated (not having the Ipod Touch 5) but seeing the Ipod Touch 4 having both AVRCP and A2DP, Ipod Touch 5 should also have those...
    Thank you so much... Have a wonderful day

  • Does the iPhone 6  support use of bluetooth enabled mouse?

    Does the iPhone 6  support use of bluetooth enabled mouse?

    I'd really like to think so as well, who's using a tempered glass for the screen an a similar film/glass for the backplate that can shed some realistic light on this query? help is much appreciated.
    people tend to get a bit hysterical when they see my uncased 4s, and yet after 2.5 it is still in better shape than everyone else's.....so if that's gonna be the case with the 6 plus I'll be satisfied.
    I understand the 6 (and 6 plus) have a cureved screen and that most glass protectors are a bit dorky and dont go all the way to the end. would ones that go all the way be more fragile and by that endanger the screen or is full coverage better? is there a suggested tempered glass protector for the 6 plus?

  • HT3887 I m not able to found Bluetooth in my Macbook Pro. Error is Bluetooth : Not available.

    I am not able to found Bluetooth in my Macbook Pro. Found error is Bluetooth not available. Please inform me.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Somehow, OS X doesn't detect Bluetooth in your computer. First, reset the PRAM and the SMC, and see if you can use Bluetooth then.
    If not, hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting to start in OS X Recovery, and reinstall OS X. If, after reinstalling OS X, you can't use Bluetooth, there's a hardware issue with your Mac, so take your Mac to an Apple Store or reseller

  • My Iphone 6 will not sync with the bluetooth in my car.  2010 Mercedes-Benz

  • HT4528 My iPhone 5 does not connect to my bluetooth headset

    My iPhone 5 does not find my bluetooth headset.  I have my bluetooth setting ON and the headset right next to the iPhone.

    First you say both paired, then you cannot pair them. Were they ever paired together, or do you mean they both paired with something else?
    If the headset shows in the list of bluetooth devices on the phone, remove it and reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, put the headset in pairing/discovery mode. The turn on bluetooth on the phone. See if they link then.
    See this support document about bluetooth pairing. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1664

  • Not working WI-FI, Bluetooth and quickly discharged battery on my iPhone 4S. Не працює Wi-Fi, Bluetooth і швидко розряджається батарея на моєму iPhone 4S.

    Not working WI-FI, Bluetooth and quickly discharged battery on my iPhone 4S (MD234 / A).Switcher WI-FI is not active(gray color), Bluetooth always search(badge"network activity") and total time to completely discharge the battery is about 4-6 hours.
    I'm trying to cast network configuring, reset all settings, erase all content and settings and nothing helped. I also tried to restore the iPhone, restore from backup, restore DFU mode and also nothing helped. My iPhone does not fall, not shock and not get water.
      The problems started after updating to IOS 6.1.3. In all previous firmware it worked good.
      I never put Jailbreak! And I buy his new!
    Updates to IOS 7 will fix all the problems?

    Не працює Wi-Fi, Bluetooth і швидко розряджається батарея на моєму iPhone 4S (MD234 / A). Переключатель  WI-FI не активний (сірого кольору), Bluetooth завжди веде пошук (значок «активна мережа») і загальний час до повного  розрядження  батареї становить близько 4-6 годин.
    Я намагався скину налаштування мережі, скинути всі налаштування, видалити весь вміст і налаштування і нічого не допомагало. Я також спробував відновити iPhone, відновити з резервної копії, відновити в DFU режимі, і також нічого не допомагало. Мій iPhone не падав, не стукався і не попадала вода.
      Проблеми почалися після оновлення до IOS 6.1.3. На всіх попередніх прошивках він працював добре.
      Я ніколи не ставив Jailbreak! І я купив його новим!
    Оновлення до IOS 7 вирішить всі проблеми?

  • Why I got the same reslults whether the Bluetooth adaptor plug or not?

    I am trying to make communication from USB Bluetooth adaptor on my laptop to other Bluetooth device on J2ME environment, but after I finished the java code, and there is a problem, the laptop cannot detect any Bluetooth device. I am not sure which part I should change.
    1) When I install the Bluetooth adaptor, I select com 4 as service port, but I did nothing with this in my Java code.
    2) My developing environment is: Eclipse 3.2, JDK 1.5, WTK 2.5, J2ME , and my main program is Midlet program.
    The following is my code; anybody can give me some suggestions.
    And the running result is :
    Running with storage root temp.MediaControlSkin21
    Running with locale: English_United States.1252
    Device Bluetooth Address: 0000000DECAF
    Starting device inquiry...
    no device found
    and the big question is whether I plug the Bluetooth adaptor or not, the program always get the same result?!! And I never made any code to get the �Device Bluetooth Address: 0000000DECAF�, what is this address? I even did not plug the Bluetooth adaptor~~!!!
    import javax.bluetooth.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class BTConnector implements Runnable, DiscoveryListener {
    private javax.bluetooth.UUID uuidSet[] = {new javax.bluetooth.UUID(0x1101)};

    LocalDevice localDevice = LocalDevice.getLocalDevice();
    discoveryAgent = localDevice.getDiscoveryAgent();
    System.out.println("Starting device inquiry...");
    discoveryAgent.startInquiry(DiscoveryAgent.GIAC, this);
    transactionID = discoveryAgent.searchServices(null, uuidSet, remoteDevice,this);

    Can you read dates? Take a look at when this thread was started.
    Make sure that javax.bluetooth is on your computer, and is included in the Classpath.
    And please don't resurrect any more long dead threads. You are welcome to start one of your own.
