Setting up Bluetooth DUN with two devices?
Quick question:
I have two phones with data plans (one work, one personal) and both support mac tethering via bluetooth and I have tethering plans with both. They have different coverage areas. How do I set up 10.6 so that I can choose which device to connect to and it'll just work to get me online? First I tethered device A, and device A worked. Then when I went to configure device B for tethering as well, configuring device B overwrote everything and device A no longer worked. So I re-setup device A to tether and then device A worked, but device B no longer would. Help?
Device A: AT&T BlackBerry 8900
Device B: T-Mobile BlackBerry 9700
Computer: MacBook running the latest release of 10.6
Latest version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac installed.
If someone could even just point me in the direction of a how-to on tethering multiple devices, I could probably extrapolate from there to tethering multiple BlackBerrys. I'm pretty tech savvy, I just have no previous experience with Bluetooth DUN configuration and Apple's online manuals are.... um... lacking in this topic area.
If I read this correctly, you need to add the device as a separate connection. The little + icon at bottom left in System Preferences > Network will allow you to do this. Then when you connect, you may need to select that specific connection. Also adding a location (instead of Automatic) may also effect this easily. That way, the two iPhones are isolated from each other.

Bluetooth icon with two rays, what this means?
My bluetooth stops working from time to time on my MB (unibody late 2008), anyway just restarting the MB solves it. Now I'm trying to find why, because restarting is not an option for me.
So my question is:
I noticed that wen this happened, the bluetooth icon turns to a bluetooth icon with two horizontal little rays (or zigzag lines)
Technically, what this means?
Also another question, overcharge the USB ports with USB powered devices can make bluetooth stop working this way?
ThanksYeah,
This has a lot of sense, because this start happening after I added a new USB device that uses almost 500ma. Anyway this new device is connected to a different USB Bus.
This the distribution:
USB Bus
-nio 2|4 (soundcard) 500mA
-BRCM2046 Hub
-Bluetooth USB Host Controller <---
USB Bus
- Apple Internal Keyboard/Trackpad 40mA
- IR Reciver 100mA
USB High-Speed Bus
USB High-Speed Bus
- Built-in iSight 500mA
- USB2.0 Hub
- ReMOTE SL (MIDI controller) 480mA
- Launchpad (MIDI controller) 430mA <--- the new device
Now some questions:
If I use a powered USB hub, it could improve my situation?
If it is possible: turning off USB devices I'm not using, like the IR Receiver and iSight, could improve my situation?
Because this not happens every time I use this configuration, I think it could be related to AC stability problems, do you think an AC NoBreak or Stabilizer can improve my situation?
Last issues (it happens 3 times) was in Israel where AC wasn't too stable and a bit below 220V. Now I'm in Malaga Spain working with a 227V AC supply for more than 48 hours non stop with all devices working, and no signals of any problem.
Thanks for your help! -

Opening Blend, I'm met with TWO device choices my Z10 and another that I don't recognize
Actually, when I first open Bland on Samsung Tab S, I see my Z10. I enter the Password. It goes through some process and then I am met with TWO device, the Z10 and Device-xxxx where I guess XXXX is some partial PIN number but I don't recognize it. So I then have to reselect the Z10 and again enter its password. Basically logging in TWICE. Somewhat irritating but I'm more curious what's the other device and how do I eliminate it. Going to BBID site I don't see any place to specify devices associated with my BBID. And it is not the partial PIN of either of my Playbooks (heaven forbid Blend from supporting BB's own devices).
f2 wrote:
So, I gather it is some residual device that BBID had/had associated but I don't know where to go to remove it from the pool.
The current Z10 replaced a defective one about a year ago and I don't recall its PIN number.
Where does BBID store the devices that share it?
I will charge the 9930 and see what its pin is.
I think that is likely it.
ON a PC, login to www.bbid.com and see if that device is still listed and you can remove it there.

Set up itunes account with two different credit cards
Is it possible to set up an existing iTunes Store Account with two different credit cards?
I am currently registered with a personal card but wish to make one purchase for work (Lion OS) using a company credit card.
many other sites let you choose what card to pay from, multiple addresses, etc. but I don't see any options from apple site.
for this purchase I am considering:
1. going into the "edit payment information".
2. editing all the info related to the company card and address.
3. completing the purchase and download
4. going back to the payment info and putting back my original personal informaton.
there must be an easier way -- or is this the only apple offering.
any advice appeciated. TIA.the_0ne wrote:
but this discussion is clearly for people that have multiple accounts because they have multiple credit cards.
This is incorrect.
It is very clearly for people with a single iTunes account and they want to use multiple credit cards for purchases on that single iTunes account.
If I had one iTunes account with multiple credit cards registered (which again, is what this discussion is in reference to),
Huh? You just wrote it was NOT that.
I bought Lion through my company, which means I logged into the App Store with my company's credentials, of which I have my company credit card registered.
You mean your company paid for it. You are simply the one who did the purchasing using company funds.
I now have a new iMac of which I want to install Lion. Apple allows you to install this same install multiple times on your own personal machines. I had to remember which account I bought Lion on so that I logged into the App Store correctly. If I would have logged into my new iMac with my personal account, I would have then bought Lion again, of which I didn't want to do.
But you did not purchase Lion with your personal account. It was purchased on your business account.
If you want Lion on your persona/home computers, you will need to purchase it.
I also wanted to install iPhoto. I bought iPhoto on my personal account. I had to then log out of the app store from my company account and log back in using my personal account to install iPhoto or I would have just bought iPhoto with my company's credit card, of which I would have been in a good amount of trouble.
Imagine if I bought 3 or 4 apps a week and these apps were scattered across my business account and my personal account. Each time I wanted to install these apps on one of my multiple machines in my house, I would have to remember which account I bought the app on. or go to my purchases or which there could possibly be dozens of apps in each account.
I would hope that your company requires you to track purchases you have made with their money.
And I would think that you would want to keep track of all business purchases so you can get reimbursed (for the purchases you made on their behalf). If/when you leave the company, they can get company owned software that you purchased with their funds. -
Please help me as my note from iphone lost when it sync with another device. How can i restore back the note?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs. I have previously suggested ways to recover contacts, calendars etc, and other users have confirmed that they work, as such I am making the following suggestions to recover lost notes, but please note, as yet success is unconfirmed ***.
Recovering your notes is quite time consuming, you may wish not to save all your notes to save some time, if they are not of importance.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Open the 'Notes' app, and open your first note (assuming your deleted notes have now been restored).
Select the share option at the foot of the screen (rectangle with arrow) and choose mail.
Send the email to yourself (If they won't send, save them to draft)
Repeat steps 7 & 8, until you have copied all the notes you wish to save to email.
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and make sure 'Notes' syncing is enabled.
Open the 'Notes' app, check that iCloud notes have reverted to how they were before starting the restore.
Open the 'Mail' app and open the first email you sent yourself and copy the text you want in the note.
Open the 'Notes' app and create a new note in the iCloud, paste the text you copied.
Go to iCloud.com on a computer and check that the note has synced to iCloud.
Repeat steps 12, 13 & 14 until you have recovered all your notes.
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.
*** As a matter of protocol, anything that I can’t test myself will need to be confirmed by at least 5 individuals before I’m willing to accept it as confirmed. At this time only 2 individuals have confirmed it to work. -
I want to pair my iPhone 5s with the Mini Boombox I was using with my iPhone 3Gs.
Once the iPhone Bluetooth setting has been switched on the 5s just continually searches for devices and finds nothing - although the Boombox is beside it on my table (yes, and switched on).Hello Ken,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your new Bluetooth Mini Boombox. I am sure you are eager to use your new speaker.
I recommend reviewing the following article for steps to troubleshoot the issue you described:

Running BAT to create ADP on users associated with two devices
Problem Details: I have a couple question about behavior of the Bulk Administration Tool that allows you to automatically generate Device Profiles.
1) If a user is associated to a 7941 and a IP Communicator and you run the tool and select to use the personal profile as the logout profile will it set the user as the logout profile for both of the associated devices?
2) Does it port Speed Dials as well as lines?When you select the logout profile for the user, it will be applied to all the associated devices for that particular user.

There are mny things you can do with Bluetooth on Apple Devices. You can use it with BT headphones, Speakers, Keyboards, In Car Media Centers, and Hands free devices.
You cannot use it with other Apple Devices or other mobile devices to transfer files, but you can use it to share interent connection between these devices.

Having issues with multiple devices connecting to AirPort
Hello All
I'm having an issue when people come to visit. It seems my network goes haywire once they get here with their devices.
My network consits of an Airport Extreme and two Airport Expresses connected to a cable modem. On the network I have two iMacs, Mac Pro, two TiVos, Xbox 360, Foscam Secutity camera, two iPad minis, iPod, iPhone 4S and an iPhone 3GS. They are all connected to the main network login.
When guests come over, most weekends my girl and her daughter, they have two iPhones, and iPad 2 and an iPad mini. Once they get here, we all seem to get knocked offline. Some devices stay connected at times, but most, if not all, get knocked offline. I assumed it was something wrong with one of their devices. They connect with the Guest login.
This weekdend we had some friends visiting and my girl and her daughter were not here. These friends showed up with two iPhones, a MacBook Pro, an iPad mini, iPod and a kindle. Same thing happended...all knocked off line. They also connected with the Guest login.
Are there limits to the number of devices? If so, I wouldn't think I am hitting that limit, could it be that low?
Thank you in avance for any input or assistance.
CoochI have the Express units that look like a white AppleTV. Not the ones that plug directly into the wall, they have a power cable. I believe they are 2nd Generation.
Yes, those would be 2nd generation Express base stations and they should be able to support up to fifty wireless connections.
Are both of these connected back to the Extreme with a wireless or wired connection? Regardless of which are they both configured to extend the Extreme's Wi-Fi range?
I am assuming that you have this network configured to also support a guest network ... correct?
The Extreme is not the latest tall one, it's the one just before they released the new one.
That should make your Extreme a 5th generation model, which is just fine.
Do the Express devices count as wireless connections?
Yes.
Even if I include the Express devices, I have 14 connections. If two people come to my home with two devices each, I am still under 20 connections. All Airports and devices are on the same level of the house, approximately 1000 square foot area, with open doors into every room.
Yes, according to the number of devices you stated, this should work.
The only idea I have at this time is to temporarily disable the guest networking feature. Once done, see if you still have the issue. Do you? -
Hello Everyone,
So I have a scenario here and I’m wondering if this plan I have will work flawlessly or is there anything I have to lookout for?
So I'm going to bridge two Cisco AP's 1260 and 3500, which have an 880 router on each side.
(Currently I have a VPN set-up through the internet for the two locations to communicate)
(Naturally they are currently in different subnets)
Will absolutely change this and set up as one subnet.
There is VLANs setup on each router (same VLANs)
VLAN 1
And
VLAN 10
Everything is configured on the Routers and AP's for these VLANs (works flawlessly over the VPN).
So now since I’m going to get rid of the VPN and set-up a bridge with two AP's, will having same VLANs across both routers be a problem?
Will VLANs work OK through the bridge?
Besides using (IP helper address DHCP-IP) command on the non-root bridge side router to forward DHCP requests to the root bridge side router,
Is there anything else I have to consider?
Also I want to be able to route internet traffic on the non-root bridge side through the WAN port, and only route LAN traffic through the bridge...
Will I have to use Access list for this?
Sorry everyone...
I know this is a lot I'm throwing out there...
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
EdAlso, if the IP Helper command is used to relay DHCP request to the root bridge side router.....
will the VLAN settings (trunks) on non-root bridge side router work ok since I will need to remove the DHCP pools configured there...... Or is it a better idea to keep it there and just exclude addressees that are available to the other side, and vice versa???
I say this because the non-root bride is also going to serve for wireless clients as well, and has VLANs setup on it so I'm guessing the non-root bridge side router needs the DHCP pools for both VLANs intact, for VLANs to operate correctly.
Please give me your insight on this.... -
Sync issues with multiple devices
I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad mini associated with a single account. I just want to sync both the devices in such a way that a few utitlity apps need to be on the phone while the games need to be installed on iPad. However each time i sync the iPad i get list of apps pre checked with the phones settings so this will make the iTunes to copy all phone apps to iPad. I dont want this to happen.
I tried creating a seperate library but now im not able to see list of apps i downloaded previously. My question - is it possible to have a single library(to probably save some disk space) for two devices running under same account but only difference in sync settings. So that i time i connect a device it should know what to sync and what not to.I have the Express units that look like a white AppleTV. Not the ones that plug directly into the wall, they have a power cable. I believe they are 2nd Generation.
