Installing Bluetooth into dual G5 tower

I know this question's been posted before, but I thought I'd check to see if anyone's found a solution...
I bought my dual 1.8 G5 tower 2 years ago with the Airport Extreme, but WITHOUT the Bluetooth. Of course, now I want it. I'm interested in the intenally installed hardware, not the USB device.
Does anyone know if can I buy the hardware to install it myself... assuming Apple will no longer do it for me?
Thanks in advance.

You can buy the bluetooth card - not sure which country you are in to find a local supplier - but the part nos. and details for card and antenna are here

Some installation instructions are here

Although you state you want the internal bluetooth, the external may be slightly cheaper...

Satellite P750: Unable to install Bluetooth Stack driver on Windows 7 (x64)

Hello.
I own a *Satellite P750-02T* (Part no. *PSAY3A-02T001*).
In the order what I did:
1) I formatted its HDD and reinstalled OS to *Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1*.
Then I downloaded *ONLY BIOS and the drivers* from [its Downloads page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] :
2) I updated its BIOS to *v1.90* (the laptop came with v1.80)
3) I installed all the drivers:
- both LAN and WiFi
- Intel Chipset (latest available)
- all video drivers (Intel HD Graphics, NVIDIA Graphics, and Intel HDMI)
- Card Reader
- Realtek HD Audio (latest)
- Synaptics Touchpad
- USB3.0
- IR
- TV-Tuner
However, I'm *unable to install the Bluetooth driver (v8.00.06(T)* )...
When I run setup from the [above-mentioned page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] it partially detects *'Bluetooth USB Controller-10 from TOSHIBA'* (USB\VID_0930&PID_0215&REV_001)
and then installation simply freezes displaying +'Installing the Bluetooth Driver. Please wait+.' and stays like that forever...
I also tried downloading a driver from [another location|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download-toshiba] for TOSHIBA notebooks - v8.00.02(T):
and followed installation instructions displayed under 'Details'
but there was the same outcome - the setup simply freezes...
Installing Hotfix (*KB978258*) recommended there didn't work either - the message '+The update is not applicable to your computer+' pops up.
And I understand why - this Hotfix is [already included|http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/B/A/EBA55FE2-373A-4351-9346-6D762B79AA69/Updates%20in%20Win7%20and%20WS08R2%20SP1.xls] into Service Pack 1 for MS Windows 7.
I spent hours searching on the Internet for a solution. Although there were some similar cases none of the recommendations actually worked. I tried installing:
- WiFi driver before installing Bluetooth (someone suggested that those two are the parts of the same card);
- resuming installation in Safe Mode;
- *Toshiba Value Added Package* hoping those tools somehow will kick in.
Nothing worked...
It's interesting that when for the sake of experiment I tried to run installation for my generic Bluetooth adapter (using the driver [for non-TOSHIBA notebooks|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download]) then everything run smoothly!
*Using Bluetooth connection on this laptop is very crucial for me.*
I hope I shall not have to return this wonderful notebook as I know TOSHIBA is one of the best manufactures and am sure there is a solution to this problem.
Thank you very much.
Evgeny.

clarified about using another generic Bluetooth adapter with non-TOSHIBA driver

For FN functionality you must install Toshba Value added package. Toshiba flash cards utility is part of this package.
I dont know if P750 has WLAN switch but before you start BT installation be sure WLAN LED is ON.

Computer freezes when installing bluetooth driver

Hi
I've bought a bluetooth USB dongle with toshiba bluetooth software. The installation freezes at the very end of the progress bar for installing the driver. I'm using Windows XP V. 5.1 SP2. Comm ports currently in use are 1,2,3,5 and one called "BT Port" (COM65) which may be blue tooth but may alternatively be something to do with BT broadband which is installed on the machine. In device manager "Network Adaptors" shows "Bluetooth Personal Area Network" and Bluetooth shows RFBNEP, RFBUS, RFCOMM, RFHID and Generic Bluetooth radio. The Bluetooth local COM utility in Control Panel shows no com ports in use. Any ideas?
Thanks
David

Hi - thanks for input. Have found and disabled sony ericsson software from my old phone which apparently included a bluetooth monitor on COM 500 (although there was no reference to this anywhere else!).
I removed them completely anyway. Still getting the same result however. Last thing to be reported during the install is "Bluetooth Audio Device (WDM)". The progress bar gets all the way to the end and then it freezes - can't use Task Manager or anything and I have to do a hard reset.
I'm installing Bluetooth USB Adapter V2.0 + EDR off the CD. The dongle is plugged into a USB hub (not into the back of the computer - I've run out of USB connections at the back since they are full of things that can't be plugged into a hub).
The install does seem to recognise the device, however, since on one occasion I didn't have it plugged in. It asked me to insert the device about a third of the way through the install and proceeded ok immediately I plugged it in (and then froze again at the end).
Couldn't find anything regarding a "bluetooth monitor" - is this part of Windows? (no reference to it in Help Files). Getting frustrated as you can imagine!! Is there a more recent version of the stack software that I can download - I've looked right through the Toshiba site but can't find anything obvious.
Many thanks for your reply and hoping you have further suggestions

Installing Arch WinXP Dual-Boot

Hello! I'm new with Arch-Linux.
I'm trying to install Arch with Windows XP. I looked at the guide and several threads but I can not solve my problem. I make an installation in "Legacy" because my drive is IDE. I have installed Win XP. I do manually the partitions partitions / boot, /, / swap, / home, all logic, after the XP ntfs. And then I install the grub in the MBR which is on the XP partition. When booting, I get a dual-boot XP and I started without problems, but when I boot Arch I get the following problem:
FileSystem CHECK FAILED
And here I have not managed to solve anything, I have consulted several forum threads where people could think the same thing, wiki, but I have not been solved. If anyone can help me with the installation, or if I am wrong partition table or something, I would be very helpful.
Sorry about my English, it isn't my frist language.

I can see two issues here:
I install the grub in the MBR which is on the XP partition
The MBR is not on any partition, is sits at the beginning of your disk. Partitions have bootsectors. And you should not install anything into the boot sector of the XP partition, since that will make XP unable to boot. Wikipedia is quite good on these topics.
Secondly, /boot must be on a primary partition.

How do I install memory into the Pavilion 17z-F2 series laptops?

How do I install memory into the Pavilion 17z-F (17z-F200, product L2H13AV) series laptops?
HP appears to have no maintenance guide available for this model series. What's up with that?
Please, do not offer the generic (and out-of-date) Pavilion 17 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide. It does not appear to apply to the 17z-F series. This guide instructs to remove the bottom service panel which I could have figured that out on my own. However, the 17z-F series does not appear to have any removable panels at all. I took an up-close look at the Pavilion 17z-F100. And, it does not have any removable panels on the underside, except for the battery. So, I presume the 17z-F200 to be the same.
I am a computer technician. And, this is the first laptop I have seen without any service panels. I am probably going to have to disassemble the entire outer-shell to install memory (or to replace the hard disk drive once the time comes). But, every laptop I have worked on in the past had its own special array of hidden screws or special tricks for disassembly. So, having a maintenance guide is a necessity to avoid damaging plastic mounts, clips, guides, etc.
This question was solved.

How about this one:
Pavilion 17z Manual
Don't get me started on this. It's one of my pet peeves, too. HP is not the only one doing this. Acer and Toshiba, etc. also are selling "closed" systems now. I hate it. I will absolutely never knowingly buy one but I am spending a lot of time here answering questions just like this. Good luck and let us know how you do. Sounds like you will be fine.

Get error message when trying to install Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0.1

I have been having issues installing Bluetooth Firmware Update 2.0.1 on both of my Macbook Pro and my Imac. The update downloads but will not install. It comes up with an error code each time. I have not been able to install this on either Macs. HELP!

both units do list they they require the bluetooth update. I have downloaded it from Software update and from a direct link from Apple. I have experienced since trying to install the update that it will not full install and that it causes problems with bluetooth either being not available or working from time to time. I have not found a way to get it to work properly or going back to the previous version

Hello, My computer crashed, I removed the hard drive and installed it into a hard drive enclosure and now I am trying to get my Thunderbird data off of it

Hello,
Thank you for taking a look at my problem. My Windows computer crashed so I removed the hard drive and installed it into a hard drive enclosure and connected it to my new Windows computer with a USB cord. I installed Mozilla Thunderbird on my new computer and read the different tutorials on this website for extracting data from the external hard drive and installing it on my new computer however I cannot seem to be able to find the files that I need and quite frankly I do not know how to move them once I do find them. I even tried MozBackup but it could not find the files either. I searched for profiles.ini in the hard drive and the only hit I got was a profiles.ini file that was 111 bytes in size. I assumed that this was not what I was looking for but I did save a copy on my desktop. If someone has experience with moving files from a hard drive to a new computer I would be grateful for the help.
Thanks,
AN

lets get with the program. Mozbackup is useless in this situation because it looks for your profile in the location Thunderbird says it is.
You biggest hurdle is probably setting windows to show system and hidden files. The %appdata% folders are hidden by windows.

I took a look at the Pavilion 17z-F100 (sent by mistake). It does not have any removable panels on the underside. And, the User Guide for the 17z-F200 indicates that it will be the same (assuming it ever arrives).
I am probably going to have to disassemble the entire outer-shell to install memory (or replace the hard disk drive, once the time comes). But, every laptop I have worked on in the past has had its own special place for hidden screws or special trick to disassembly.

Do I need to provide the physcial hostname to iAS during installation or can I just that installed name into the /etc/hosts file?

Hi,
Pls confirm if you are using Windows 2000 Pro, in this O/S the
hostname is the name of the computer itself. Check the
MyComputer->Properties->Network Identification->Properties, the name you
find under the computer name will be automatically taken while
installation, if it doesn't then there is some error. However the
C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts doesn't matter much while installing
iAS 6.0 SP1 or above. Hope this helps
Regards

Install Portal into remote 9.2.0.3.1 database

Has any successfully installed portal into a remote 9.2.0.3.1 database? My O/S is Windows 2000. I've got IAS Rel 2 9.0.2.0.1 installed and patched up to 9.0.2.2 I've been working with MetaLink, but so far they haven't been able to solve the problem. The issue is that the DAD will not work. Everything appears to install correctly, but after creating the DAD and bouncing the http server, the DAD won't come up. Yes, I can connect with sqlplus, yes there are valid tns entries. I've even created a DAD to my existing portal30 install in my 8i database and that works. Its just this 9i install that refuses to work.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I turned on debugging in the DAD and this is the message:
Database Log In Failed
TNS is unable to connect to destination. Invalid TNS address supplied or destination is not listening. This error can also occur because of underlying network transport problems.
Verify that the TNS name in the connectstring entry of the DAD for this URL is valid and the database listener is running.

How can I install presets into Lightroom 4.4 64 bits?

How can I install presets into lightroom 4.4 64 bits?

Hard to know where the ball got dropped without details.
I suggest creating a new "test" preset in Lightroom, then make sure you can find it in OS (Finder/Explorer).
Wherever you found it - that's the folder your other presets should be in. If they are already in that folder, then the preset files are not copacetic somehow (e.g. not compatible type).
they should end with .lrtemplate

How to install bluetooth on hp pavilion 15

Want to install bluetooth to my HP Pavilion.
What can I use to install to my laptop?
It's a HP Beats 15 Notebook PC
product number : J1J05UA#ABA

Hi,
The specs says it does not have Bluetooth:
http://icecat.us/en/p/hp/j1j05ua/notebooks-Beats+Special+Edition+15-p099nr-23290268.html?ti=reviews
Therefore, if you wish to use BT, you can use USB - BT donghe which is similar to the following small device (much cheaper elsewhere)
