D-Link Bluetooth USB Adapter DBT-120

Is this adapter still the "most" compatible USB adapter for the Mac Pro? I have it and it works great but the option for waking up the computer with devices attached to this adapter is unavailable. Do you have to have the pre-installed Apple Bluetooth module for this functionality?

On the D-Link question, yes probably so. BT is finally getting so common, you don't see many choices with 3rd party suppliers.
On the WAKE option, you'll need the real Apple hardware. I just went through the same thing myself on my Dual G5. The bluetooth mouse wouldn't wake the computer from sleep mode using the DBT-120. Once I installed the Apple Bluetooth module, the BT preference panel gave me the wake/sleep option and everything works fine now.
The G5 model's BT and AirPort modules were DIY, the Pro model should be also? Others here may know for sure. If so, I'm betting it's also a lot easier!
Hope this helps.

You can only add songs to your iOS device from iTunes via Wi-Fi sync or via your cable, not Bluetooth.

That's an entirely different issue, unrelated to your iOS devices.

Need mac driver for TP-Link Wireless USB adapter TL-WN7200ND

i need Mac driver for TP-Link Wireless USB adapter model no TL-WN7200ND

First of all, TP-Link does not provide OS X drivers for that adapter. However, there are other sources that have drivers like this one. It is not official and it may fail, but it has been tested by other users and it works correctly.

Bluetooth with D-Link USB-Stick DBT-120/122

Hello,
Apple and users recommend for Bluetooth connections the D-Link USB-Stick DB T-120. I ordered this stick and got the DBT-122. On the D-Link website the DBT-120 is no longer available but the DBT-122. Are there experiences with this new version? Are they compatible?
Thank you

Hi, roma, Will, and Alexander —
The Apple Store has D-Link DBT-120 adapters in stock. I'd give you a direct link, but for some reason it may "time out." Follow links to Mac Accessories »» Airport & Wireless »» "D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adapter." If not in the U.S., there's a pull-down menu at the bottom of the page to other locales.
In my experience, the Apple sales staff won't specify the version (or in D-Link lingo, the "Revision") — although if you push, you'll be transferred to a tech. who assures you that all products are tested to be sure they work. Duh...
But I think I can give you an idea on that: there's a ~new brick-and-mortar Apple Store in my town; so I went and checked last week. Their stock are all D-Link DBT-120 Rev. B3 adapters.
Does this help?

D-Link Bluetooth Adapter DBT-120

I just purchased a D-Link DBT-120 adapter. I have been trying to get the adapter to work. When I plug it into my USB port on the side of my computer it does not turn on. I have the latest updates on my computer, but it is not recognizing the bluetooth at all. The two lights don't even come on when it is plugged into my computer. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Emac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

That worked with some workaround. I could not install
the firmware updater on my PB. I did, however, on my
iMac (btw, same panther), firmware updated the dongle
and then the dongle is recognized on the powerbook.
Thanks.
Wow, it's too bad the people at Apple don't seem to actually read this forum, because they need to hear about the updater not being installable on on that PB. I wonder why that was?
I'm about to post about my dongle not being usable after a system reboot The little B just has a squiggly line through it...

How to use Toshiba Bluetooth USB adapter?

I bought a new Toshiba Bluetooth for my laptop but Windows Vista doesn't recognise and is saying that is not compatible. How do I sort this out?
Thank you

Hi
Can you please tell me which USB adapter you try to use? Please send the PAXXXX number.

D-Link Bluetooth Adapter

Will the wireless keyboard and Mighty Mouse work with a D-Link Bluetooth USB Adapter? If so, where would I find a D-Link Bluetooth USB Adapter?

They should work with the D-Link DBT-120 (not any other) as that is the only external USB dongle recommended and supported by Apple.
Unfortunately, as you haven't told us which country you live in, ("northwest" what? Australia? China? Outer Mongolia?), it's a little difficult to suggest a possible retailer near to you.
eBay is a good start - or try contacting D-Link for retailers in your country/area:

Nokia7650 OS X 10.4.4 Bluetooth D-Link DBT-120

sorry folks - text is german only - its a valid language
it describes the solution of problems concerning transmitting files from nokia7650 to mac via d-link dbt-120 bluetooth usb

Sechstellige Nummer in Nokia eingeben und Verbindungsaufbau akzeptiern
(eine Verbindung besteht, wenn auf dem Nokia7650 der Bluetooth-Punkt
von Klammern umgeben ist – die nicht blinken)
Auf Nokia7650 gibt es nun einen Eintrag unter „gekoppelte Geräte“: Gerätename des Macs
Auf Mac: alle Dienste deaktiviert / Fortfahren
Zuzsammenfassung: Ihr Mobiltelefon wurde erfolgreich konfiguriert / Beenden
Nun sieht man unter Geräte ein Nokia7650 mit rotem Herz und anderem Symbol dahinter
Klickt man drauf erhält man diverse Informationen – u.a.

Bluetoothpunkt mit Klammern blinkt mehrer Male
Danach Info auf Nokia7650: „Verbindung kann nicht aufgebaut werden“
UND HIER KOMMT DER TRICK ....
TROMMELWIRBEL ...
Wenn das Nokia versucht die Verbindung zum Mac aufzubauen –
Also das Bluetoothsymbol in den Klammern blinkt ...
... DANN AUF DEM MAC DIE REITER WECHSELN !!!!!
z.b. von Sharing auf Geräte klicken bzw. wechseln
man sieht wie „Verbindung aktiv von nein auf ja wechselt“
und auf einmal wird man auf gefragt ob man die Datei übertragen will ...
Dieser „Trick“ funktioniert – egal von welchem Reiter man in welchen
Reiter wechselt - HAUPTSACHE MAN WECHSELT DIE REITER
Dann werden Daten übertragen ... in den Ordner Dokumente
Ich fass es nicht ...
Man kann auf dem Nokia damit auch mehrer e Dateien (Fotos, Notizen)
Übertragen (einfach auf Nokia markieren)
So habe ich es geschafft, meine Fotos und Notizen auf den Mac zu sichern
um damit Platz auf meinem Nokia für iSync zu schaffen – den iSync-Agent
Den der Mac auf dem Nokia7650 installiert ist immerhin satte 440kb groß
AppleSyncAgent-s60v1.sis hat so ca 180kb – macht zusammen auch schon
stattliche 620kb – und die hatte ich leider nicht mehr frei. ISync hat nach der
Installation des iSync-Agents auf dem Nokia7650 tadellos funktioniert –
Damit konnte ich dann auch meine Kontakte und meinen Kalender mit
Leerem Mac-Adressbuch und leerem Mac-Kalender synchronisieren und
Danach wegsichern.
Na also -. Geht doch – aber nur mit GLÜCK – hätte ich durch Zufall nicht
Diesen „Reiter-Trick“ entdeckt – ich wäre wohl mittlerweile komplett
Ergraut ...
APPLE – Arbeit ...
Andere Systemeinstellungen wie Sharing oder Netzwerk scheinen keinen
wesentlichen Einfluss auf Bluetooth zu haben – im Sharing hatte ich
Alle Dienste deaktiviert – selbst bei aktiver Firewall funktionierte
Die Bluetooth-Datenübertragung problemlos
Ich hoffe, ich kann mit meinen Erfahrungswerten dem ein oder anderen
Graue Haare ersparen ...
Carsten D.
PS: jetzt müsste ich nur noch wissen, wie man smse vom Nokia7650
auf den Mac ziehen kann ... dann hätte ich fast alle meine Daten
gesichert J
g4 ibook Mac OS X (10.4.4) D-Link DBT-120

Hi robin,
DHCP is (and was) buggy, (sooner or later) it brings more issues than comfort.
Anyway, the D-Link rep told me that OS X 10.4 has a lot of networking problems, and it's basically Apple's fault.
If the rep means Tiger in general (10.4.x) and not a specific Tiger version (i.e. 10.4.6) then he's just passing cheap excuses...
The only solution they could offer was to use a manual IP, but this is annoying as people often come to my place and want to use the internet, and having to manually set everyone's IP/Subnet/Router etc is a headache.
I see your point, however if you take some time and set your friends' Macs once, you won't have to worry about the corny DHCP attitude again
The rep actually said that "only 1 in 1000 Macs running Tiger actually work properly with our routers", despite the 'Mac compatible' label on the box!
O tempora, O mores...
Don't take reps too seriously:
Networking standards are platform-agnostic, there's no such thing as Mac-compatible TCP/IP, Mac-compatible DHCP etc, (maybe he means that their c**y set-up wizards are Mac-compatible?)
Maybe D-Link should re-evaluate the DHCP implementation inside their routers...

Bluetooth adapter DBT-122 from DLink. compliant with JSR-82?

Hi I have a Bluetooth adapter DBT-122 from DLink.
I would like to program java application in my PC using bluetooth USB adapter. I have a driver called widcomm for it. I am wondeing whether the driver and adapter are JAR-82 compliant.
I checked with with Dlink and Broadcom which took over widcomm and they gave me no replies. Is there anyone who knows it? If not, dow do I do about the driver and adapter? I am very eager to do programming in java application for Bluettoth in PC to talk with cellphone.
regards,
Clement

Low quality is not a problem. I work in an office that forbids ANY ambient music in the background (!!), and since I have to interact with others I need to keep an ear open rather than having a stereo headset mounted on my head. Having a single ear listening to some 'tunes is ideal, and the freedom of going wireless is very appealling! It would give me the ability to block out the annoying and distracting conversations for when my own concentration on the task at hand is critical, and also give me the freedom to move about without being tethered.
I've ordered a DBT-120 bluetooth adapter. It had *better* work to pipe my iTunes songs to the headset! I've got both Mac and Windows machines in front of me at my desk, but prefer to use the Mac. The current iogear bluetooth adapter I have does work on Windows, so I guess I have an option even if the DBT-120/Mac combination doesn't work out.

Possible Alternative to DBT-120

I found the following bluetooth USB adapter, which uses a CSR BlueCore 2 chipset, and is readily available, at least in the United States:
http://www.meritline.com/wireless-usb-bluetooth-adapter-class-two.html
The manufacturer is Billionton:
http://www.billionton.com.tw
Meritline is a reputable online dealer, so there shouldn't be any worries about ordering from them.
Thoughts?

Yes, my adapter works, but the OS makes it work not as desired - I was only pointing out that I did get a new Kensington v2.0 EDR adaptor.
I need to point out that in my other post I mention that my headset tries to connect - but it never lasts longer than a second.
The weird thing is that my Mac will tell me that my bluetooth dongle doesn't support headsets if I go through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, but I manage to pair it through "Browse Bluetooth Device"!!!
The headset then shows up in my BT preference pane as a favorite - listing all it can do, with the exception of "Connected: No". When I push the headset button, it will hover on "Yes", then disconnects.
What is embarrassing, is that I get the headset to pair under Win2k running in VirtualPC. Slow as molasses and pretty much unusable, but it connects. Go figure.
And before you go on a long tirade about "Apple only supports Built in BT or DBT-120 B2 and higher", it is VERY frustrating that BT manufacturers and Apple can't meet somewhere in the middle and make all the advertised features of a BT dongle work.
I was under the impression that BT has standards.

Help with Nokia N70 + Belkin Bluetooth USB + OS 10.4.6

Hello
I've seen previous threads relating to the problems Apple's Bluetooth File Exchange has in recognising/pulling up the contents of a Nokia N70. The advice for N70 users wishing to transfer their photos to the Mac has been to send photos individually from the Gallery in the N70. This process doesn't even work for me, despite the fact that Bluetooth File Exchange and iSync both recognise my phone just fine.
My questions therefore are:
-- Is there a known solution to Bluetooth File Exchange's inability to list content of a Nokia N70?
-- Is there another Bluetooth application (shareware or other) that can do what the Bluetooth File Exchange can't (in this case)?
-- Why can't I send photos individually from the N70 to my Mac? Is my Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter (Class 2; v1.2) not the right thing?
Help please!

It works fine for me, I can even mark several of them and send them in one operation.
Since you are concerned about your Adapter, why don't you try the procedure in a Mac with 1.4.7.

Bluetooth USB adapters?

My 2009 iMac's Bluetooth seems to be failing. The Magic Mouse (and I've tried multiple ones) aren't behaving. They freak out and will only move diagonally. This is more than one of them.
Therefore, in my estimation, it must be the computer. I don't want to have the computer fixed again. It's been into the Apple Store four times and now it's not covered under AppleCare. $o and repair$ would be my re$ponsibility.
Can I use a bluetooth USB adapter to get around this problem? If so, how do I use it to replace the current bluetooth connection?

I would like an answer to this, too.

Trouble connecting to internet with usb adapter

I have a D-Link wireless usb adapter (DWL-122) that I have had for nearly a year with no problems until just recently. In the wireless preferences window it shows that I have a connection to my wireless network. However, when I try to open my web browser I get a message saying the server is not found. I am unable to access the internet in any way (itunes, instant messengers, etc.) as if i have no connection. If anyone has any idea as to what the problem would be I would appreciate any feedback. I am at a loss for ideas because as far as I can tell I appear to be connected to my network.

Hi Lauren,
I was about to order the very same USB solution you are using, but then checked with a friend who's a network admin for the local diocese. He advised against this as a reliable solution & wanted me to just string a long wire. The wife acceptance factor nixxed that.
After checking the user reviews for this device on the Amazon site I found that there were many other Mac users who had been experiencing dropped connections using several different USB units like this one.
Your post doesn't say how far away from your router your iMac is positioned. Distance might be an issue for you, but not likely.
I presume you've already done the things your ISP would have suggested -- like resetting your modem, diagnosing software setup on your computer to see if anything there has changed, or repositioning the router?

D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adapter: connecting to headsets or not???

Hi there!
I want to use a headset with my G5, using a BT USB adapter. Mine doesn't work, so I'm thinking - unhappily - of buying a D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adapter.
But: in the Apple Store, they say it does not work with headsets!!!
On the other side, people in the board here are claiming that it works, if you apply the firmware updater.
Which one is right??? I can hardly belive that Apple using untrue negatif customer feedback as a marketing strategie... so I'm a bit confused.
==>>> I would like to hear from people who are using the D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adapter if they are able to connect to a headset or not (even people not having a headset can test this, just run the BT hardware wizard, selecting headset, and see if there is the error or not).
Thanks a lot.
Gilbert

Using a headset needs several steps even needed if you have the latest computer or Mac OS X release. Please make sure to follow them in order.
Download the Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater
Install it
Launch it from Applications > Utilities > Bluetooth Updater
Apply it to your adapter (takes very long).
Start the Apple Bluetooth Assistant and select Headset. Do not use anything else!
Make your headset Bluetooth visible. Look up the manual of your headset how to do that.
Now select the headset in System Preferences > Sound.
In most cases step 3 is missed. You have to start the already installed updater yourself (do not ask me why).
