Taking apart an iBook is probably a bad idea unless you
really, really want to do it as a learning experience.
There probably is no way to install an internal Bluetooth
module on a board that wasn't designed with it in mind.
The Bluetooth functions on the current machines are built
into a Bluetooth chip (perhaps a combination 802.11g/
Bluetooth chip) soldered on to the main board.

Can't add bluetooth pan device in Osx Lion

I'm trying to share my wifi connection using bluetooth on Lion.
The advanced option in the bluetooth settings to share your internet connection is gone (was there in Snow Leopard).
That's why I manually want to add a Bluetooth Pan device so I can enable internet sharing. But there is only a Bluetooth DUN device available.
Is Pan support removed from Lion or is there a way to add the pan device using the terminal (ifconfig?)

Looks I'm a bit closer, but not there yet either.
In my Sharing preferences, under 'Share your connection from' I find the options: Wifi, Bluetooth DUN and Bluetooth PAN (and some other not related)
Under 'To computers using' I have the option 'Bluetooth PAN'
This was available since updating to Lion, so I didn't add any of those afterwards.
Since I'm on a wife hotel connection with my MBP (Lion) I selected Wifi for the incoming and Bluetooth PAN for the sharing towards my iPad.
Paired my iPad with the MBP, but still can't access internet on the iPad.
Not sure if it is related, but in Bluetooth preferences, when selecting my iPhone 3GS, under services appears: PAN Network Access Profile; this service doesn't appear when selecting my iPad
And under Network preferences, when selecting Bluetooth PAN, the only device I can select is my iphone, not my ipad;
Would it be the PAN Network Access Profile that is missing on my iPad; anyone knows how I would get it on there?

Can you add bluetooth to a mac pro?

I bought a Mac Pro without Bluetooth and now would likr to add it after the fact. Can you do it and how much does it cost?

The easiest way is with an external USB Bluetooth Dongle.
The only one that Apple officially supports is the D-Link DBT-120

Memory Upgrade and How do I add Bluetooth to S10-3

Hi,
Newbie here, just got my S10-3 last week and love it. I have upgrade to Windows 7 Pro and would like to increase the memory and add internal Bluetooth if possible. What type of memory card do I need to go to 2M? Lowest cost and brand/model number would be great information if you can provide it. Do you think it's possible to add Bluetooth internally? I know I can add using USB external, but would really like to keep it internal and keep all three USB ports free for other devices.
Thanks Much!!!
Solved!

Hi ssedqwick you solved Bluetooth?
Thx
EMERSON VIER
No, I have not. I think there is a connector for USB in the motherboard, but don't know for sure. Someone that works on the S10-3 will know the answer, so just have to wait and see if that person shows up.

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

My HP Pavilion p7-1439 with Windows 8 will not add Bluetooth Devices.

My HP Pavilion p7-1439 with Windows 8 will not add Bluetooth Devices. I ran all available updates using HP Assistant. The BT devices work with Laptop, iPhone, Surface and Ipad but not the HP Desktop. I can access the Add Device button and the system searches but never finds any BT devices. Any thoughts?

Hi NumberTumbler,
I would like to help you with your Bluetooth issue.
In this document Understanding Bluethooth Wireless Technology go to the section "Setting up a Bluetooth Device" for detailed information about setting up Bluetooth devices on your computer.
Let me know if this helps or if you need any further assistance.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

Since iOS 5.0 upgrade can't add details into calender. Any ideas

Since iOS 5.0 upgrade, can't add details into calender. Any ideas

Update! I took some general advice on the forum and rebooted my iPhone a few times. I also asked the phone to "forget this device" and attempted to reconnect several times. It would load my contacts and then proceed to disconnect from the phone and I would also see a message on the Bluetooth page that the BlueAnt ST3 was not supported.
I gave up.
I left the two devices plugged into my computer for power overnight, laying side by side on the table.
They found each other. The next day they connected and have been communicating ever since.
Perhaps until the next IOS upgrade? But a happy ending in the interim

Can I use Bluetooth headphones with a 1st generation iPhone?

Can I use Bluetooth headphones with a 1st generation iPhone? The headphones pair but the sound comes out of the phone and not the headphones. The phone has iOS 3.1 which is the last software the phone will support. Thanks.

This will help you:
Original iPhone
The original iPhone features Bluetooth capabilities only for making calls. Connecting to a PC or streaming audio other than phones calls through Bluetooth is not supported.
IPhone 3G
With the iPhone 3G operating system, its Bluetooth capabilities are expanded to support wireless stereo headsets, file sharing with other Bluetooth devices, and use of the iPhone as a 3G modem. Also supported are new capabilities for combining the iPhone with Bluetooth accessories.
IPhone 4.0
The 4.0 version of the iPhone's operating systems keeps the expanded Bluetooth functions introduced in version 3 and adds one new benefit: Bluetooth keyboard support, so iPhone owners can use wireless keyboards wherever they go.

HT201342 How can I add an e-mail address to my existing icloud addresses? I currently only use one and I would like to ad two more?

How can I add an e-mail address to my existing icloud account? I curently only use one of the three.

Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud account. If you want, you can add up to 3 alias addresses that will receive email in the same iCloud inbox, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

Can't add a family member to family share on icloud?

I Successfully added one child to family share but when I went to add second child it gets hung up on the screen where you type family members email. I type it in or select child's name from my list of contacts and then select NEXT. Nothing Happens. the blue letters of next fade to the light blue then the circle thing spins and the NEXT pops back up in blue and nothing happens. Can someone please help me figure out why I can't add a second child. Yes, they have an icloud account, I turned phone off and back on. Not sure what the problem is.

See if you can go to your Calendars App and select a previous event to see what Calendar the event was added to (iCloud or Yahoo). After that is determined you can go to www.iCloud.com or calendar.yahoo.com and add the event there to see if it will populate on your device. Another troubleshooting step is deleting the iCloud account from your device and also deleting the Yahoo account. Then check to see if you can add an event without it syncing to a email. If you can then it may have just been a bug and you can add both accounts back and try adding the event again. I would also recommend only using one service to sync your Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, etc. Such as either iCloud only or Yahoo only, as using multiple accounts means your data is spread around and can be hard to isolate when something goes wrong.

How can I add a birthday without creating a new contact?

Hiya,
I would like to add birthdays to my calendar for my friends children and my neices and nephews. However, I don't want to create a new contact for all of them. Can I add an entry into the birthdays calendar only? When I add an entry in iCal on my MacBook I can edit it to a specific calendar, but I have no option to add to the birthday calendar. If I really have to create a contact for these entries, can I select which contacts show up in my iPhone? Obviously I don't want a huge contacts list for babies and small children in my phone!
I tried Dates to iCal and it was good for anniversaries, but for other birthdays it wasnt as they appear as the parents name and then the entry (e.g. Jane: 2nd Sophies Birthday) which I find very annoying!
I hope one of you geniuses out there can help me!
Thanks very much.

Also open the calendar app, tap on calendars bottom middle of the screen and make sure under other you have birthdays ticked in the calendars

How can i add to a listBox items near in a new column other items ?

The items on the right i changed the property of the listBox1 righttoleft to Yes.
My problem is i want to build a new column for the number so each number i'm adding will be next on the left to the belong item string. And not under it like now.
1. Maybe i need to use another control and not listBox ?
2. How can i add column/s and also maybe adding a title to each column like: Names Id Number....?

If you want columns, you should consider a
ListView or
DataGridView.
