Not Shy's Guide - Potentially Fix Bluetooth Belkin mini bluetooth :(

Can any one hepl with
IOUSBFamily.kext???
I dont know how to edit and replace this file with new one my new belkin mini wont start up with mac pro needs puling out every time
This is tutorial
I have found this task as a great learning experience and I am keen that other people learn from it too.
S/L/E - is System/Library/Extensions - please go to your snow leopard install drive and nagivate through those folders - there you will find the IOBluetoothFamily.kext
Please copy that to a safe place (create a folder in Documents or something) and also copy it to your desktop.
On the one on your desktop - right click or CTRL click and go to Open Package contents on that kext that you've copied - navigate through the folders to plugs-ins, open the relevant kext's contents again and find the relevant info.plist in your favourite text editor.
If you have a look in there then you will see a whole bunch of information in the IOKitPersonalities section - and you will see a repeating pattern of entries - similar to the one that I have shown. Then therei s clearly a vendor ID and product ID section in the code that I posted.
The reason I haven't posted mine was because as you will read at the start of my post - I tried to use someone elses kext and install it and it didn't work on my system. What worked as to take me kext and to add my bluetooth chip into the current driver.
Sorry - I hope this helps but I'd like people to learn the method so that they can apply it for their specific chip set type and IDs.
Please post again if you need more help with the details of what you have tried.
Also if you back up your original kext - you can restore it using KextBeast.
If you really break the kext - then boot in safe mode (Type "-x" at Chamelon screen) and you can restore your kext using kext beast - repair cache - reboot and all will be good.
Thats my bluetooth info:
Vendor ID: 0
Product ID: 0x7fff
Thanks!!!!

Mac Users are accusomed to buying and using products that come with all the parts needed -- including an Installer if necessary.
Why not buy one that "just works" or contact the manufacturer for proper support.

My home wireless is no longer recognized, even going through the set-up process. It does not connect to the car through Bluetooth seamlessly--I have to add my phone as a new device each time I get in the car. In attempting to solve these problems I have gone to settings-phone-upgrade and it states that the upgrade is available-select to continue-(which I do)- it checks -please wait and it then states that update not available - try later.

Maybe not too late to help you.
For specifically fixing the Bluetooth, un-pair your phone with the car, and go through the process of repairing the two.
In general, the KK update requires many of us (different phones) to perform a Factory Data Reset after we back up our personal content (pictures, music, movies, or other downloaded files) to a PC or MAC. This will result in you having to do a bit of work to setup icons for the programs you use, and maybe putting in the specifics again for email accounts and other specialized apps. So if you are going to do this sort of thing... copy important information/settings down on paper.
HTH.

Toshiba BT Stack not working with Belkin mini BT v4.0 adapter

Hello,
I've recently purchased a belkin mini bluetooth v4.0 adapter for desktop but when i try to use it with toshiba bluetooth stack when i reach the part about the device plug it will not recognize it.
I know its because it not listed on the default programs list and i have to add the device manually but i cant seem to work it out.
If u can provide me a detailed walkthrough on how to modify my tosrfusb in order for the toshiba bluetooth stack to accept this usb bluetooth adaptor i would really appreciate it.
I saw there was a similar thread but it was locked and the posters there didnt mention how they made it work
Im using windows 7 64 version (toshiba bluetooth stack format is 8.0012 for 64 version)
The usb is called on device manager Belkin Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter and my hardware id is
USB\VID_050D&PID_065A&REV_0112
USB\VID_050D&PID_065A
I have already installed it using its software cd rom for the record, so i if need to uninstall it please let me know. Try in advance for your time and patience

In my personal you should visit the Belkin support website to get more details how to get running such Mini-Bluetooth V4.0-Adapter
As you said, the software was provided on the CD.
Therefore I assume that you need to install some Belkin software to get this USB adapter recognized properly
Before the system would not recognize this USB adapter, you will not be able to establish the BT connection.

Potential fix for WGM generating negative User IDs

I saw a posting back from August 2007 from "Summer is Gone", where he/she asked about Workgroup Manager generating negative User IDs (UIDs). No one responded back then and the thread is now closed, so I thought I'd contribute my experience with it today.
I had this problem on a 10.4.11 server that serves only as an OD Master. I had archived the OD database, set to Standalone, rebooted, and then restored the archive as a potential fix for some little glitches that we'd been having after 4 years of running the server.
After the archive was restored, WGM was creating negative UIDs during "Add User". I'm not certain that was the trigger, but it's the likely one.
The fix was to simply trash ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.workgroupmanager.plist and relaunch WGM. After that, WGM once again started generating positive UIDs.

In case no one got back to you, when you use WGM to import set the "First User ID" to a positive number. WGM>Server>Import>First User Import ID
Then all users will get a positive ID.

IPhone not playing ringtone through stereo via bluetooth

With my previous iPhones, including my iPhone 4, when connected to my stereo via bluetooth, my ringtones would play through my car stereo's audio system. Now, when my 4s/IOS 5 is connected, the ringtones no longer play through my system.
Does anyone have any idea if this is a bluetooth 4.0 issue, an IOS 5 issues, or simply a phone setting that I haven't realized?
thanks!
Chris

I have similar issue with added ringtones. With my iPhone 4 (with IOS 5) they played in stereo through the earbuds but now that I changed to the 4s the ringtones play in mono with poor sound. I don't think it has anything to do with bluetooth since my problem is with the earbuds.
I think it's a difference between the 4 and the 4s. I'm not pleased and hope they fix this.

Belkin Mini Display Port to HDTV not working anymore with MBP

I have a MBP V 10.7.5 and I was using a Belkin Mini Display Port to HDTV. This was working perfectly a few months ago and now when I try to connect, My Mac screen will turn blue for a minute but the TV will read "No Signal". There is nothing wrong with the cord and I'm afraid that an update on my computer messed things up. Does anyone have any idea whats wrong or how I can fix this without getting a new cord? Thanks!

Hello,
Using the VGA connector, what resolution is set on the Monitor?
Is there any input choices on the Monitor for port or source?

Try the following user tip:

My iTunes will not start. The box on the error message APSDaemon.exe, And message says "This application failed to start because MSVC80.dll was not found. Reinstalling may fix." I did the reinstall and I get the same error.

Same problem today. Took five times to reinstall without any error messages. Apple has posted a way to fix and you should follow their's first. I finally got to upldate correctly by doing their fix but with one difference. I did the following:
1) Went to the C:\program files (x86)\iTunes and C:\program files\iTunes folders and moved every file ending in .dll to the desktop (even if two files in same location had the same name, just replace)
2) Restarted computer and still got error message
3) Uninstalled all apple programs possible in the following order......itunes, apples software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.....all performed using the microsoft control panel
4) put all the .dll files on the desktop in the trash and emptied (this is a step apple support did not specifically put in their fix but for a final try I wanted to delete everything apple).
5) Restarted computer.
6) Re-installed itunes from apple website
No error messages during re-install and was able to open shortcut in one try. Even updated my ipad to make sure everything was working.

Hello mrmacjohn,
Verifying that any iCloud account that may be signed in is signed out should resolve this error.
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

I've found two bugs in iOS 7. 1) declined calls does not appear as missed calls on the lock screen/notification centre. 2) when bluetooth is enabled from control center, it does not connect to an already paired bluetooth device

I've found two bugs in iOS 7:
1) declined calls does not appear as missed calls on the lock screen/notification centre - iOS 7.0.2.
2) when bluetooth is enabled from control center, it does not connect to an already paired bluetooth device automatically - iOS 7.0.

If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

Phantom restarts / crashes with Maverick. Restore Disk Utility, disk can't be repaired says "live system repair is not supported" Is there a fix yet? Or is Maverick "FREE" because Apple no longer offers free phone support?

Get onto the integrated iOS + Mac OS and end support for "legacy" Mac 10.8 and earlier.
Force older hardware users like me to upgrade to new hardware which is where $$ are.
Make apps work across tablets, phone, and computer with similar (though not the "same" app, but able to read and use the same file format).
Simplify.
I don't think anyone incl. Microsoft knew Windows 8.1 was going to be a free upgrade, I didn't and read that it would be more like $30.
No OS is ready for everyone on the day it is launched. iOS 7 is now 7.04 and climbing, Mac OS tends to really not be ready until the last patch and version is out, often a year or more after it was first issued. Ship it, then plan to fix the bugs left in or that surface.
www.macperformanceguide.com is saying "No" to Maverick for now. Of course there will be no "No" on new Mac Pro 2013 6,1 when those ship (Late Jan? )
