How To Use External Bluetooth Adapter?

My desk is about 15' from my Mac Mini (running 10.8.2). I'm using an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Mouse. The keyboard works pretty well but the mouse is awful. It frequently drops the connection and is erratic most of the time when it is connected. Signal strength is low, varrying between -75 and -84 dBm according to the Connection RSSI graph in System Preferences. In hopes of improving the situation I got a USB extension cable and a USB Bluetooth dongle with the thought that I could find a location for the dongle that would give me better signal strength.
So far, I'm not seeing much – if any – improvement and I'm wondering if I'm actually using the external adapter. Does anybody know of a way to tell which adapter is being used? Of if this strategy will even work?

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

  • 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.

  • How to use external Java API in Java Embedd inside BPEL

    How to use external classes inside the BPEL in Java Embed Activity ? Any sample code availble ? Like i want to use log4j API inside BPEL.

    No you dont have to change your startManagedServer.cmd/.sh everytime you need to have a Java Embedding activity. You only need it in case of using Log4J. As log4j requires a configuration xml viz log4j.debug.xml and log4j.dtd you need to let the soa managed server know about it. The best way to load this configuration files is using the JAVA_OPTIONS command during server startup.
    Hope the explanation helps.

  • How to use external jars in NW2004

    Hello Experts,
    can i use the same approach mentioned in the below Weblog for using the external jars in NW2004.
    /people/bertram.ganz/blog/2008/11/24/how-to-use-external-jar-files-in-web-dynpro-development-components
    and if not then what will be the best way to achieve it in  NW2004.
    Please provide your inputs on above.
    Regards,
    Siddharth

    Hi Sidharth,
    If you are using web dynpro DC perspective then you need to follow the following points to use the external jar files in it.
    1. Create a external library project.
    2. copy the external jars in the library folder os the projects.
    3.) Select all the jars from the u201CLibrariesu201D folder, Right click and then select Development Component and click on Add to Public Part
    4.Select the first Radio Button (Provides an API)and give some nameto it.
    5. Repeat the step no 3 but now select the second radio button other than as selected in step no 4.
    6. Now build your lirary DC.
    7. Now create a j2ee DC project.
    8. ) Expand the node DC Definition and Right Click on Used DC. Select Add Used DC.
    9. Select the External Library DC with build time dependency.
    10.Right click on the J2EE DC and then select Development Component followed by Build
    11. Right click on the J2EE DC and then select Development Component followed by Deploy
    now you can use both the libary DC and the j2ee DC in your web dynpro DC as used DC.
    But if you have created a web dynpro project only(but not DC) than you can directly add the external jars in java build path
    hope this will help
    regards
    Narendra

  • How to use External Tables

    Hi, I want to know how to use external tables? The procedure i follow for SQL*Loader in my shell script is:
    Call the sqlldr
    Check return code
    If return code = 2. get count of records from bad file and exit.
    If return code != 0 and != 2 then exit as fatal error
    If return code = 0 then continue.
    But i don't understand how to use external table as it is not invoked and does not have a return code.

    Hello,
    What do you mean alogrithim, do you mean to invoke external table as you invoke sqlldr? You can generate external table script from sqlldr and use it to load data but you might have to modify the table name and datafile name . You can see if any bad file generated from sqlldr and if yes then you can generate external table (using sqlldr) or based on your bad file. May be if you can list what exactly you want in bullet points, then it will be easier to suggest you.

  • How to use USB Y adapter with HDD 500GB V63700-A

    Hi,
    My external HDD V63700-A500GB has difficulty working in my USB2.0 4 port adapter.
    I thought perhaps it needs more power going into it.
    So I bought a USB-Y but I can not figure out how to use it.
    It has 2 male USB connector wires and a very small narrow one which does not go into the thin wide socket of the above HDD.
    Anybody uses these things to advise me how to?
    ...... thanx
    .....nick

    Thanx Joel,
    definitely looks like the correct one but, can you give me a link on where to get it?
    I keep googling for a "USB-Y cable for external hd" with no luck.

  • How to use a bluetooth cellphone for audio input and output

    Hello, I was wondering how to set-up my Mac Book so that I can use my bluetooth cellphone for audio in and audio out. Ideally, I would like to use my handset for talking on iChat and Skype. Has anyone had any luck doing this? When I bond my cellphone these optiosn do not appear. I know that this is easy to do on a Windows machine but I am not sure about how to do it on my Mac Book.
    Thanks!

    Yes it should do what you want.
    Go to "Audio Midi Setup", and go to the Audio menu and click "Open Aggregate Device Editor". The interface is pretty simple but if you do get stuck, just use the help function in Audio Midi Setup, as it has a step by step guide.
    Then when you return to logic, go to the Preferences>Audio>Drivers section and select Aggregate Device as the new driver rather than either the built in sound or the tascam. Then the inputs and outputs will apply to BOTH devices.

  • How to use a servlet adapter ?

    Hi all,
    I try to use the servlet adapter, but documentation is not very usefull on this point (like on many other point).
    The first step in documentation is : Create a directory in the classpath oracle.panama.adapter.servlet for the .class
    file. The MasterService creation should go smoothly (if you pray I suppose) if you also have the .class file in a similar directory where you
    are running the Service Designer.
    Questions :
    - I dont understand ' create a directory in the classpath oracle.panama.adapter.servlet'.
    What does it mean ?
    - How can I make the same thing on the client which running the Service Designer ?
    All input are welcome.
    rgds,

    Create your Servlet under the directory
    %ORACLE_HOME%\panama\server\classes\oracle\panama\adapter\servlet.
    The servlet should have the package declaration
    package oracle.panama.adapter.servlet;
    Copt the class file to the above mentioned directory.
    Then create a service using this class.
    Give the entire class name for the service
    eg
    package oracle.panama.adapter.servlet.Test
    where test is the servlet class name.

    Hi,
    You canr use text modules in script. You have to use standard texts .
    Standard text are maintained in SO10 transaction.
    you can create translation text for other languages also . So based on logon language it will print translation text.
    go to SO10
    give textname it say Ztextname  id as ST and language as EN
    say create, then you will get editor there maintain your text and save it . then come back . Now change language (say for german DE) say create and eneter translation text and save it.
    so now you have created a text called ztextname which you can use in your script.
    Inorder to insert the texts in your script do as below
    go to any window editor and   select path
    Insert->texts->symbols->standard symbols
    then you will get popup  in which you have to mention all the parameters that you have created earlier.
    after inserting just change language EN to sy-langu
