Epson RX595 and Jabra a320s Bluetooth adapter?

Hi all,
Just a quick question. I have an RX595 currently connected to my Time Capsule, and seeing as it is giving me difficulty with a Vista laptop (printing multiple copies of same job) I was looking into other connectivity options that don't include having to connect it to a computer and networking it that way. I have a Jabra a320s BT USB adapter, and when I place it in the USB port of the printer, it allows me to set up all the options in the menu (recognizes it as a BT adapter), yet when I try to add it to my MBP, I'm able to see it as a printer but it won't pair properly (times out after asking for pairing code). Do I have to buy the Epson Bluetooth print adapter or is there any way to make my setup work?

I used my RX595 with a Belkin bluetooth adapter. It's a few years old. I can't find it right now or I'd give you the model number. Anyway, I can only print by transferring files to the RX595. This gives me practically no format control. It only uses however I set up memory card printing, paper size and whatnot, having nothing to do with computer settings. I could also only get a .jpg file to work. The printer might do .pdf files, but I don't think it'll do anything else through bluetooth.
I'm a little bitter about their "bluetooth compatible" not including a bluetooth adapter, being so limited, and their printer sharing simply not working. Support refused to help with any of this. To quote them: "Epson tests and supports a direct connection from the printer to the Host PC/MAC." Advertising unsupported features, this is my last Epson printer for at least 4-5 years.

JABRA A320S bluetooth dongle compatible with my mac book??

I bought a jabra a320s to pair my mac book with a sony mini stereo. i want to play my music through it.
i had to get the jabra dongle since the mac's bluetooth didn't support a2dp. i haven't opened the box yet for the jabra device. will this work with a mac? on the box it only says compatible with various windows, etc.
anyone know if this will be fine for what i need? thanks in advance.

The Mac Book is from 2005..When I tried looking up the Bluetooth specifications it didn't list A2DP as a feature.
It doesn't list A2DP as a feature on the very latest MacBooks either - even though those are the ones that come with Leopard which does have A2DP support. A2DP is a feature of the Macs Bluetooth system software, not the Bluetooth hardware. That's why older Macs updated to Leopard have gained A2DP support, with no new Bluetooth hardware required.
So if the bluetooth on this computer doesn't have A2DP then there's no way for me to use a bluetooth dongle instead?
No. But it wouldn't matter if you could use the Bluetooth dongle. You would still need the updated Bluetooth software on the computer for A2DP support - which is part of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
I find that hard to swallow.
Well, try it for yourself if you don't believe me.
I should just be able to disable the internal bluetooth and use the dongle, right?
Well... Yes, if there was actually a way to disable just the internal Bluetooth - but there isn't. If you were to turn Bluetooth off in the system preferences, it would turn all Bluetooth off, including the dongle.
But lastly, does anyone know if the Jabra dongle would be compatible with the Mac Book if I actually busted open the box?
You're not reading what I've written are you? As the MacBook *already has* internal bluetooth hardware, you cannot use an external bluetooth dongle with it. The internal bluetooth always takes priority over the external, and you cannot turn off just the internal Bluetooth.

Mac OS 10.5.5 and Belkin USB Bluetooth Adapter

I upgraded to Mac OS 10.5.5. this morning and upon restart I lost the ability to turn on Bluetooth (Belkin USB bluetooth adapter). The adapter is visible to the computer, but it can no longer be turned on so I can benefit from its use. I checked Belkin's site -- no upgrade there. I believe it is an OS 10.5.5. issue since it worked before the upgrade. I have tried looking at Bluetooth preferences -- the option to turn on is "greyed" out. File Sharing, Network, and Security system preferences were of no help. Anyone have any ideas.
Thanks,
Doug

Hi there,
Did you ever resolve this problem, because I am having exactly the same problem with my Intel iMac running 10.5.5 and Belkin F8T012 USB Bluetooth.
I too have found that using "Bluetooth file exchange" seems to turn on Bluetooth, so thanks for that advice, but it's hardly acceptable is it?
I can plug the same USB into my laptop (running 10.4) and it turns on perfectly!

A review of Jabra A320s and BT620s on 10.4.6

Well, I tried the Jabra BT620s Bluetooth wireless headset today in Akihabara, Tokyo. It comes bundled with a small cradle that fits any standard iPod (not Mini, Nano, etc.) and adds BT stereo to the iPod BUT the cradle is NOT a Jabra product. You can navigate the iPod menus directly from the BT620s and the stereo sound was good judged against the bustle of a busy Tokyo street. The headset can also be paired with a BT mobile phone and auto-interrupts when a call comes in.
I was more interested in using it for Skype work on an iBook. I took along an old dual USB iBook without BT and a recent DLink DBT-120 adapter (the only external adapter recommended by Apple). It seems the DLink does not support stereo even with the latest firmware upgrade (thanks Apple!) so there was an immediate error when pairing with the BT620s. I then tried the Jabra A320s BT dongle, which does support BT version 2.0 with stereo and EDR, and of course there are no drivers in 10.4.6 for it so no headset support (thanks again Apple and Jabra!).
If you have a later model Mac with built-in BT version 2.0 and EDR, it might work with the BT620s but I am not sure that the Apple implementation of built-in BT supports the stereo headset profile, so buyer beware.
The BT620s build quality is nice. It is light, has lots of control and the battery life is long but without assured OS X support, it is not worth the risk of purchasing at 19,800 yen.
Can anyone tell me whether the BT620s works well with their later model PowerBook or MacBookPro, etc., with built-in BT version 2.0?

Hi, Robert —
Interesting comments. Thanks.
You're correct that Apple's Bluetooth implementation doesn't include the A2DP profile designed for stereo headphones... yet. Is that what you're referring to? But there have been reports of success using some 3rd-party Bluetooth adapters that do support A2DP for this objective. Here's an example.

Bluetooth Adapter and Headphones Woes!! It was Better on OS 2.2.1

I am hoping someone can help me with my bluetooth scenario. I connect my iPhone to the car stereo via its headphone jack and also to my Jabra SP700 bluetooth device. I cruise listening to the iPod feature of my iPhone and when a call comes in, the music stops and the bluetooth kicks in for the call. I get sound and microphone through the bluetooth. When I hang up, the bluetooth stops emitting sound and the iPod resumes music play over headphones and I am HAPPY!
With the OS 3.0, that appears to have gone away -- my happiness that is! I have found at least 2 undesirable features:
1. When I receive a phone call bluetooth kicks in and I can talk fine. However, when I hang up, the music doesn't resume anymore. I have to unlock the phone and hit play again (or double 'home' click) -- BUT now the music plays over my bluetooth headset instead of the headphones like it was before the call. I then have to fiddle with it to return it to 'headphones'. This seems less user friendly than it was before OS 3.0.
2. If I try to make a call while music is playing, it tries to handle the call via the headphones, but nothing comes out. The bluetooth does not kick in and I can't hear anything. I again have to change the audio option manually once it actually starts ringing. When the call is over and I hit play on the iPod again (yes it does not resume playing like it used to), it starts playing music over the bluetooth adapter -- Again, not what I want.
I have looked at the settings and I can't find anything to help me out here. I would like an option that lets me state what output to play iPod out of and what channel to interact the phone over. That way I could always have music from headphones and telephony via bluetooth.
I realize that stereo bluetooth is a cool new feature, but I would just like the option of it working like it did under OS 2.2.1.
Anyone have any suggestions? Can I easily revert to the old OS?
Thanks,
Blaylock

I'm having a similar issue - only iPhone is connected directly into my iPod-enabled car stereo (through a USB connection to back of stereo/standard iPhone connector cable into iPhone; installed by 3rd party vendor.)
If I'm listening to iPhone music through speakers (whether from a playlist/iPod selection, streaming Pandora, etc.) and turn on Jabra SP700 device, music is diverted to play through the Jabra speaker instead. This means I can only have the Jabra on when I know I'm going to make a call (I'll temporarily switch car stereo to radio, which doesn't conflict), but it also means I can't use it to intercept incoming calls without taking eyes off of the road, ugh.
I'm going to try to re-pair the devices later this afternoon - have already deleted my existing JabraSP700 profile on the iPhone - & will try re-pairing the devices later this afternoon. But are there other configuration changes I need to make to either the iPhone or the Jabra if that doesn't work?

Bluetooth adapter for the ipod hifi and my iphone 5

is there a bluetooth adapter for the ipod hifi that will let me use my iphone 5 via bluetooth?

The lock button on my iPhone5 has also started acting up. Extremely annoying. I have to get it replaced, but I've dropped my phone once and there is a scratch on the top left corner of the phone, so I'm not sure what the warranty says about this situation.

Hotsyncing a palm centro using a bluetooth adapter and windows vista 64 bit

Please help. I have read and followed all of the other suggestions on this forum and nothing has worked.
I have a palm treo. When I try to hotsync using the bluetooth adapter, it gives me a message stating:
"unable to connect,port is being used by another application".
I have rebooted, soft reset, etc. and still get the same message.
I do not know how to set up another port on the windows vista program. That was one suggestion.
I have selected both bluetooth and serial port under the hot sync manager.
Nothing works.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

Hello akashmedehrotra and welcome to the community.....
Windows Vista 64 bit is only sync with a wireless connection. Either Bluetooth or Infra Red. The M515 does not have bluetooth, so you would have to purchase an IR Dongle and sync using Infra Red. You won't be able to sync with the USB cable on your desktop.

Nano 6th generation I attached the motorola D650 bluetooth adapter and it says unsupported device... Any suggestions?

Nano 6th generation and i connected the motorola D650 bluetooth adapter and it says unsupported device? Any suggestions, this should work as Apple told me it would and instruction manual for headphones specifically mentioned Ipod.
Thanks

I've heard that there are some Ipod adapters out that will work with this trick but it would be nice if anyone knew a way to make this adapter work. I think it is a popular trick since the adapter from oakley that does work is now on back order.

Ios 6.1.4 Phone calls not working from Jabra EasyGo bluetooth headset

I updated to 6.1.4 yesterday
I use Jabra EasyGo bluetooth headset.
Music streaming is fine with the headset.
Problem is it doesnt respond to any phone call or dial commands.
Tried it on another friends iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3 it works
Please help to solve as I depend on the bluetooth my work drives car a lot.
Tq

I don't think I can restore the back up from iCloud, because I did not back it up to iCloud before the update to OS 6.1.4. I don't think this is related to voice samples because it seems to cut in and out, like Siri is not 'hearing' me, due to a problem with the microphone.
Apple please help!

Need suggestion for USB Bluetooth Adapter for HP Z230 Workstation

I've just purchased an HP Z230 Workstation, with an I7 processor. I need to equip it with Bluetooth capability so that I can connect the computer to an old Palm Tungsten T2.
There are gobs of USB 4.0 Bluetooth adapters / dongles on the market, but reading buyer's comments, they all seem to have some type of problem with compatibility or installation issues on something.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a USB Bluetooth adapter that has worked well with the Z230?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Satellite A500-011 PSAR0C-01100D - internal Bluetooth adapter

I have Satellite A500-011 PSAR0C-01100D, I'm looking for an internal Bluetooth PCI adapter that slides in, on the side of the laptop into the pci card slot. without opening the computer)
Can someone help me find the part number ?
I remember seeing it in the toshiba site,a while back, but not there anymore, can't find it. I would like to order one.
i have an external USB Bluetooth adapter but it's a bit flaky and it sticks out and gets caught in the bag etc.
There is a internal module available but I don't want to open up the case and damage it.
thanks

*Replacing Wireless Card with WiFi & BT Combination Card.*
Hopefully it will be compatible with the computer. Make sure that it is half PCI-e size.
Example of what it should look like: http://www.compactpci-systems.com/products/id/?45200
First, the laptop should be placed bottom side up to expose the doors.
The centre most door that uses one screw to open should be the one to open.
When open, you should see the RAM exposed.
In addition to this, there is the wireless modem card.
Unscrew two 2.5x3 screws that secure the card.
Remove from the slot.
Take the Wireless WiFi & BT combination card, and slip it into the slot.
Secure with the two screws.
Close the lid, and secure with screw.
Install any necessary software and drivers. . .
*For dedicated BT:*
For A500 models, you need a version 2.1 + EDR (antenna on mobile type) model for bluetooth.
This would involve removing the keyboard and acccessing the top of the motherboard; a more intriciate process.
