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.

  • USB Speaker & USB Bluetooth Adapter Not Working

    hi there,
    my USB external speaker and USB bluetooth adapter (for my plantronics headset) is not working.  I believe this had to do me removing a critical program (from add/remove programs) about half a year ago - i can no longer do a system recovery to retrieve the program.  I'm currently operating on windows 7x64-bit.  all drivers are up to date and working.  the usb drives work fine - i've tried testing each slot by  connecting my external mouse and all seems functional.  it's only when i plug in the external speaker or usb bluetooth adapter that things go wrong - see screen shots below.  my internal speaker and internal mic work perfectly fine.  it appears to be only an issue with usb audio-related devices.  these devices work with other systems and computers, so i know that it is not the device itself.  i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling conexant audio, but that did not work.  i've gone into the device manager and all looks ok there. i've disabled and renabled, updated all drivers, and still nothing....any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks so much for any help or guidance you can provide.

    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it pair/work in the new account?

  • Can I get a Bluetooth adapter for my iPod classic

    I'm looking to buy a Bluetooth adapter for my iPod Classic. Any suggestions?

    Yes. A few $/£ should get you a compatible battery and the tools to do the job. It is a little fiddly, but I've done several. Video tutorials are online.

  • USB Ethernet Adapter for 2011 Mac Book Air with Lion OS 10.5.8

    I just bought a new Mac Book Air with the Lion OS. I need a USB ethernet adapter for it. I am unclear if any of the Apple or non Apple products listed on line or EBay will work on this new computer with Lion OS. Please advise on purchasing wither a Apple product or a Ebay non Apple product which ar e half price.

    Yep. Any such adaptor should work. All they need do is comply with basic USB 2.0 protocols and they will work on virtually any computer that has a USB 2.0 port.

  • 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.

  • I bought a usb power adapter for my ipod nano so I can plug inti a power outlet. Will this take less time to charge my ipod or same amout of time if using the computer?

    Hi, Atcandela.
    I've a Macally external fire/usb enclosure that powers up and mounts directly on to my PB Aluminum 1.67 laptop but the USB portion doesn't draw power.
    Do you mean it mounts and works OK when connected via FireWire, but not when connected via USB? If so, that's unsurprising. I would be surprised to hear that it doesn't mount when you use the FireWire connnection, because most drives are able to get enough power from that port.
    Does MacAlly not offer a cable for your drive that allows it to draw power from both your USB ports? Some manufacturers of external drives or enclosures do offer such a cable, and it's well worth buying because it's much smaller and more portable than an AC adapter. Have a look at this one from Western Digital — it might fill the bill for you.

  • Where to download driver for the SD BT2 Bluetooth adapter for Win7 x64?

    Hello,
    where can I download drivers for the SD BT2 Bluetooth adapter for Win7 x64?
    Thank you.

    I agree with bluecat.
    BT SD card is not on the market for years now and this device is not supported anymore so I think you will not be able to find driver to get it work with Win7.

  • USB Bluetooth adapter stops working after 10.8.5 upgrade

    For several months I've been using an IOGear USB Bluetooth adapter and a USB KVM to share my Magic Trackpad between a Mac Mini and a MBP, both machines happily running 10.8.4.
    Tonight I upgraded my MBP to 10.8.5 and now Bluetooth is apparently disabled when I have the USB adapter plugged in:
    Now I'm left with the unappealing decision of using my Trackpad with only my Mac Mini, my MBP, or constantly repairing it with either to share.
    I've been shockingly happy with this little trick, but I guess it was too good to last. Anyone have any ideas why using a USB Bluetooth adapter would stop working? Maybe I need a different adapter now?

    Thanks! That solved my problem. I just had to swap in my device id which was different than yours.
    I converted my USB adapter's idProduct value from hexidecimal (0x2101) into decimal (8449) and added this configuration:
                        <key>BroadcomUSBBluetoothHCIController_Dongle - IOGear2</key>

  • USB Bluetooth adapter... WHAT'S GOOD?

    Okay, so I've realised that Bluetooth is the only way to sync my SE v630i mobile phone to my Mac.
    Now I need to buy a USB Bluetooth adapter, I've seen the D-Link but it's like $80 as opposed to a Tianlang one on eBay for around $7 plus p/h.
    Is the D-Link a rip-off? Is the Tianlang a piece of junk (both are Blutooth 1.2)?
    Can anyone help me out on this one?
    Thanks... Khyam.

    I'm not sure where you've seen the D-Link for $80.
    On Amazon.com its $27.99 plus you get a $10 rebate, making it $17.99
    http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DBT-120-Bluetooth-USB-Adapter/dp/B00006B7DB/sr=8-1/ qid=1164375834/ref=pdbbs_sr1/105-9574619-4281210?ie=UTF8&s=electronics
    As previously mentioned, the D-Link is the only one officially supported by Apple - they even release firmware updates for this model. There may be others that work, but without trying them, you won't know for sure.
    Alot of the cheaper USB Bluetooth adapters will allow you to pair and transfer files, but won't allow a full sync. It's not known why. And they all come with Windows drivers only.
    Here's a list of adapters that reportedly don't work fully:

  • 990XA-GD55 - USB bluetooth adapter becomes unrecognised if left plugged in

    Hello all, I just bought and set up my new MSI 990XA-GD55 (bios 11.2) with an AMD FX-4100 3.6 GHz and I'm having a really weird problem with my usb bluetooth adapter. If I plug it in after Windows 7 (Pro 64-bit) is loaded it's recognized, installs drivers, etc. and works fine, but if I leave it plugged in and restart the machine the next time Windows loads up it shows as unrecognized until I unplug it and reinsert.
    The same bluetooth adapter has been used on my old computer and worked fine attached to an internal usb header cable (which is what I'd like to do with this one). Any ideas?

    Did windows do an 'auto' driver install? You might need to go to the manufacturers website for the specific driver package. If only a generic driver is installed, it can make the bluetooth unit do what you are experiencing.

    It did do an auto driver install, but it's not just a generic driver. It shows up as an ASUS bluetooth adapter and it works when you plug it in while Windows is running, but when you restart with it plugged it it won't work anymore.

  • 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!
