Desktop Software and Bluetooth (not just a rehash of the same problem!)

Hoping someone here can help me! I'm just about to go batty.
Long story - so I'll just skip to the relevent parts. I'm trying to connect my (T-Mobile) 8800 to my PC (it's an old Sony desktop, that did not come with bluetooth support. Running SP3) I've purchased a Rocketfish (Best Buy's cheapo brand?) Bluetooth USB adapter. I set that up, it read my 8800 just fine, did the key stuff, etc.
The problem is that the BlackBerry Desktop Software is not accepting that particular adapter. I've read what I think is every article (!) on the topic, and I understand that the Desktop Software only works with the outdated drivers that come with SP2 - no 3rd Parties. I uninstalled the software, and stuck the adapter back in, and let windows install with its driver. It seems to be calling it "Broadcom 2045 Bluetooth 2.0 USB-UHE Device."
Now, I have no Bluetooth icon in the taskbar, and none in the control panel, either. Obviously, the Desktop Software is a no-go, too.
Can anyone please let me know some suggestions? I've tried this (http://www.vinsvision.com/Articles/tabid/66/EntryID/13/Default.aspx) etc. I've called T-Mobile, tried to call RIM (though I didn't want to pay $50 for support that probably won't fix the issue?) and wasted the entire day!
Should I just return the new adapter and buy one that is represented in SP2? Are there any newer ones that are? I read someone say they found a belkin one that worked on Ebay. Would prefer an option that, if required to buy a new item, could do it locally ASAP.
Thanks in advance everyone!

    Only way to get iMac starting again was to re-install 10.4.4 from DVD, and then update it into 10.4.6. For a while it worked perfectly, just as before.
    Then I tried to print to CD with my EPSON Stylus Photo 950 from Adobe Photoshop Elements (2.0). It didn't print anything, but printer started flashing all lights. The print job was not performed, so I did remove it from the Printer Utility. After that the iMac started "ticking" again, same noise than before, after 10.4.7 installation. I did re-boot iMac. It never started, it does stuck on gray screen (gray block running clockwise). HW test from DVD didn't find any problems (extended search looping 3 times). But Disk Utility found hard drive to have inaccurate node structure, it could not fix it.
    Apple support recommended to use DiskWarrior. However, it does not support (yet) Intel Macs. I haven't got TechTool Pro 4.5.1 anywhere. iMac does start on to FireWire mode (T at boot), but I cannot see the disk from 10.2.8 iMac.
    So, obvisously the problem is not 10.4.7. I believe it to be ESPON printer driver compatibility on Mac OSX. This does not suprise me, EPSON printers *****, I shall never purchase one again. However, disk catalog structure should not get messed by one faulty printer driver!

  • Crackling audio (not sure if this is the "same" problem)

    I have been experiencing crackling audio under certain circumstances with my Soundblaster X-Fi XtremeMusic. I am no audio expert, but it seems to me that the problem occurs when multiple?"types" of audio are played at the same time. For example, in a game, when voices are played over pre-existing background music, the audio on the voices will get crackly and staticky. This is recreatable in GTA4; that game uses a third-party interface (Microsoft Li've) to track game progress and post updates inside of the game. The game's internal audio is fine, but any sounds "inserted" into the game by Microsoft Li've will be all crackly because they seem to be "competing" with the existing sound effects from the game. It gets really annoying at times.
    The "trigger" for this issue?was when I upgraded to a newer NVidia driver for my 7950GX2 graphics card. My sound was fine for years until I updated the driver to 72.xx and newer. However, I am not just talking about the newest driver. This has been happening since June and continues to happen with every NVidia release since then. This happens with every driver beyond 72.xx and now I am using 80.xx. Reverting drivers back to pre June 2008 is most definitely not an option, because I play current games and I update NVidia drivers on a weekly basis as new ones are released.
    When the new X-Fi driver came out, I thought finally this problem would be resolved. However, the new driver did nothing to resolve the problem at all. I have tried all versions of the X-Fi driver from 2004 to the present. Nothing fixes the problem.
    Suggestions are welcome... :smileyindifferent:

    FRe: Crackling audio (not sure if this is the "same" problem)? Hi, I used to post in these forums a couple of years ago, after an Audigy 4 literally corrupted my hard disk and nearly killed my motherboard's SATA controller.
    Anyway, after a lot of debate etc. it turned out that post-Audigy Sound Blasters, including X-Fis, are extremely sensiti've to PCI timing issues and have horrible bus mastering themselves, something which was NEVER quite fixed and keeps popping up time and again. In the best of cases you will get static, in the worse cases you will get BSODs, corrupted data, or even actual damage to the hardware. Not much you can do, really, than putting up with it, like many other users before you did.
    P.S.: I'm sure that shortly after this post, a certain user will chime in and start raving about how most chipsets and RAM modules are garbage, and how he uses a super-duper "golden pick" reliable system with a chipset that does everything "nice and slow" and super-reliably and ofc works wonders with ANY "problematic" CL card to date,? and how it's not really CL's fault but that of the garbage mobos, chipsets, ram etc.

    Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
    Try a different port on the computer.
    Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
    Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
    Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
    Upgrade itunes to newest version.
    Is you USB cord defective ?
    Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
    Delete or Disable  any antivirus program on your computer ?
    I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
    We could do this for hours.

    I am sorry but your question is not completely clear. What Apple product are you having problems with?
    If English is not your primary language, try posting in your native language.
    Best of luck.

  • When I try to access an active link from a website (usually a pdf file), the new tab opens and is labeled correctly; the word "done" appears at the bottom; but the page does not open or download. The same problem does not occur with Chrome.

    Example: on the home page of the website http://www.dot.ri.gov
    there is an active link entitled "Overview of all Iway changes - Fall 2010"
    Clicking on it exposes the following url:
    http://www.dot.ri.gov/documents/iway/Iway_Changes_Fall2010.pdf
    However, the tab remains blank, even though it says "Done" in the bottom left corner.
    When I use Google Chrome as a browser, I have no problem opening that url.
    This has occurred numerous times over the past several days on several different sites--and usually the link that will not open is a pdf file.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • For the second time in one week, my dowloaded film stopped and disappeared from Video. apple apologized and will refund me.have some,others the same problem?

    My dowloaded films stopped after a while and disappeared from Video. How come can this happen?

    I cant explain it but this bizarre "fix" works many times if your videos "disappear". I have passed this on to a number of people and it has worked for them. You can try it if you like.
    Go to your home screen and swipe to the right to bring up the spotlight search feature. Type in the name of the movie that you were watching. If the movie appears in the search, tap on it to begin playing. If it plays, let it go for a few minutes and then hit the done button to stop it. Then go back to the Videos App and see if the movies and TV shows have reappeared.

  • TS2570 doesn't work, still the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software.

    i tried everything in this article, but still have the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software. I am converting my iWeb site  to Rapidweaver, whenever there is a calmer period in my office. I have 16 Gb RAM on my NEW iMac and have Parallels desktop, mail, safari, iWeb and Rapidweaver running simultanious.
    I never have the problem if i don't use Rapidweaver, but after i have added several pages to Rapidweaver, the problem begins. my iMac won't start up. the only thing that works is re-installing Macos OS X 10.8. i tried even whiping the completeharddrive, and reinstalling with a complete new user, the same problem.
    I had it on my previous iMac also, and bought a new one because i thought the problem was in the iMac first. i hadn't noticed it only happens with using rapidweaver.
    i sent my complete rapidweaver project to the programmers from rapidweaver at Realmacsoftware, but they couldnt reproduce my problem, there macs started up without any problem.
    i deleted all the rapidweaver addons and extra stacks, and started a complete new project.
    saterday i had the problem again, after adding about 5 new pages to my rapidweaver site.
    i think i have reinstalled Macos OS X 10.8.2 20 or 30 times by now
    does anyone have a sollution?

    Type '''about:support''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
    Scroll down almost to the bottom of that listing and see if you have '''user.js Preferences''' just above the '''''Graphics''''' category.
    If you do have that, click on '''user.js file''' in this sentence. <br />
    ''Your profile folder contains a user.js file, which includes preferences that were not created by Firefox.''
    Does that "different homepage" appear in that user.js file?
