SW Updater and DBT-122
I using PC Suite v6.86.9.0 with Software Updater v 1.4.39en and Blutooth via a D-Link DBT-122. All options in PC Suite sees and communicates fine with my N73 using Bluetooth except for the Software Updater, which starts up OK but then keeps "Searching for a connected phone" untill it finally gives up. If I change the connection to USB datacable the Software Updater works fine.

That's right, NSU needs a cable connection because the whole OS -BT drivers included- gets wiped and reinstalled, so you'd get half way and the phone would just stop working.
With the cable connection, the PC is able to take complete control over the phone functions throughout the update.

10.6.3 and DBT-122 bluetooth dongle
Despite "Better support for 3rd party Bluetooth devices", my DBT-122 dongle has gone AWOL. Well, the Bluetooth icon sometimes appears in System Prefs after several reboots, but my Magic Mouse will no longer connect.
External dongle in use due to internal module being too heavily shielded as per previous threads on this subject.
Anyone else with the same problem, is there a fix or a recommended dongle? DBT-120 has been touted previously.A simulair problem here. Since the update now I can't connect my Magic Mouse with my Mac Pro.
I always used a dongle.
The Mac Pro still give me the icon, but when I try to connect it to my mouse it even won't see it.
So my bluetooth list will be empty all the time when it scan's for devices....strange. -
D-Link DBT-122, problem with Apple fimware updater
Few days ago,I bought a D-Link DBT-122 usb bluetooth adapter (the new model of dbt-120 and the "only" actual model of the D-Link) to connect my BT headset JABRA with my mac-mini, but even if the OS system find the usb BT adapter, it not permit the pairing with headset (error message: this hw not support...".
I tried to use the firmware update, as suggested from other post and as suggested in the apple support webpage, but I receive an other error message about an hardware not suppoted..." and not permit the firmware update.
It is strange since all D-Link products derived from DBT-120 are supported from firmware updater (you can read in the apple webpage support about bluetooth firmware updater: "...The Bluetooth Firmware Updater is for D-Link USB Adapters (revision B2 or later), and Apple internal Bluetooth modules on PowerBooks, PowerMacs, iMacs, iBooks, and eMacs. ..."
Please help me !You need the D-Link DBT-120. Search this forum for the D-Link DBT-122. It has Broadcom Bluetooth chipset instead of the CSR BlueCore chipset which is required by the Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater.
The D-Link DBT-122 is not a newer D-Link DBT-120. It is a different product. There are some Bluetooth 2.0+EDR adapters which should work out of the box – but I have no brand name or model sold worldwide, yet. -
D-Link DBT-122 USB Bluetooth Adapter - how to make it support 2 devices?
For Macs not originally equipped with Bluetooth hardware Apple used to recommend purchasing D-Link's DBT-120 (rev. B or later). If I understand correctly, after pluggin-in the device it was necessary to run Apple's Bluetooth Firmware update 1.3.3 to get it working.
The DBT-120 device may still be available for purchase in some parts of the world but in Europe D-Link is now selling the replacement DBT-122 (no revision is indicated). The device is advertised as being 'Mac-compatible (check, for instance, http://www.dlink.co.uk/?go=gNTyP9CgrdFOIC4AStFCF834mptYKO9ZTdvhLPG3yV3oVIF+h6ltb NlwaaFp6DQoHDrqyyRF/okIB9vv ).
My problem is after having plugged-in my brand new DBT-122 onto an USB port of my 'old' G4 eMac, I can get my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse working, or my Bluetooth Apple Keyboard working, BUT NOT BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. When I have them both connected, disconnections occur all the time (either the mouse or the keyboard, apparently at random).
Tried to run Bluetooth Updater 1.3.3 but the thing tells me that there is no Bluetooth device to update. I suppose it is loooking for a DBT-120 and I have a DBT-122.
Anyone with a suggestion on anything I should try to have both my mouse and keyboard working via my new bluetooth adpater?
(No use to contact D-Link support, they don't know anything about Macs and the only thing they have been instructed to respond is 'its an Apple problem'. And they charge you for that - the hotline is expensive!)
CheersHi,
i'm having the same problem. The Apple Store recommends purchasing the D-Link DBT-120, but doesn't actually sell it since it has been superceded by the DBT-122 in Europe. Apple should know this. While D-Link market the DBT-122 as the replacement for the DBT-120 that is also compatible with Macs, from what i have been able to find out the 120 and the 122 use different chipsets and OSX cannot recognize all the features of the DBT-122's firmware. That is also why OSX's firmware updater software doesn't work with the DBT-122.
Like you, i can get the DBT-122 to work with either the keyboard or mouse but not both at the same time.
In any case even if you got both the keyboard and mouse working wirelessly there would be no way of waking the computer from sleep since the 'allow bluetooth device to wake computer from sleep' option is greyed out - this is only available if the firmware is supported. Presumably Apple will have to release software to support the DBT-122, if the earlier model is no longer in production. I think both Apple and D-Link are at fault here. -
D-Link DBT-122 & Wireless Keyboard & Mouse?
Hey all
I have just got a D-link DBT-122 bluetooth adapter, but everyime I connect my mouse it turns off my keyboard! argh
Can this dongle only support 1 device?
let me know some onces that can handle more if that is the case
Thanks in advance
CubeI found what I was looking for, hopefully this will help you, do at your own risk A search on google will bring you straight to Apple's Bluetooth Updater 1.2.1 software...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2845886�
I mounted the image and copied "BTFWUpdate1.2.1.pkg" from it to the desktop. After that control-click the file and select "Show package contents". A new window opens with a single directory named "Contents". Inside that directory look for a file named "Archive.pax.gz" and move it to the desktop. Double-Click the file on the desktop. If all goes well it should create an "Applications"-Folder with the Bluetooth Firmware Updater-Utility inside it. Now you finally have a working 1.2.1-Updater. You can copy it to your utilities-Folder, but you don't have to, it works from everywhere. -

Bluetooth adapter DBT-122 from DLink. compliant with JSR-82?
Hi I have a Bluetooth adapter DBT-122 from DLink.
I would like to program java application in my PC using bluetooth USB adapter. I have a driver called widcomm for it. I am wondeing whether the driver and adapter are JAR-82 compliant.
I checked with with Dlink and Broadcom which took over widcomm and they gave me no replies. Is there anyone who knows it? If not, dow do I do about the driver and adapter? I am very eager to do programming in java application for Bluettoth in PC to talk with cellphone.
regards,
ClementLow quality is not a problem. I work in an office that forbids ANY ambient music in the background (!!), and since I have to interact with others I need to keep an ear open rather than having a stereo headset mounted on my head. Having a single ear listening to some 'tunes is ideal, and the freedom of going wireless is very appealling! It would give me the ability to block out the annoying and distracting conversations for when my own concentration on the task at hand is critical, and also give me the freedom to move about without being tethered.
I've ordered a DBT-120 bluetooth adapter. It had *better* work to pipe my iTunes songs to the headset! I've got both Mac and Windows machines in front of me at my desk, but prefer to use the Mac. The current iogear bluetooth adapter I have does work on Windows, so I guess I have an option even if the DBT-120/Mac combination doesn't work out. -
Solution to aluminum wireless keyboard with D-Link DBT-122 on Win XP
On several forums I found a lot of people haveing the same problem I had; the D-Link DBT-122 drivers would ask to enter the pairing key but showed a greyed box so we don't know what numbers to enter. I tried all the tips like changing settings in the registry, changing the drivers, using Microsoft drivers, etc. but nothing worked.
What did work:
I paired the keyboard with a computer with a different Bluetooth adapter (in this case an Mac running WinXP). I selected to let the driver choose a key for me, wrote it down, enter the key on the keyboard and it paired successfully. I turned off the keyboard (hold the power button about 10 seconds) and removed it from the bluetooth devices on this computer.
Now on the computer with the D-Link DBT-122 adapter; I plugged a standard USB keyboard, started the pairing process, turned on the Wireless keyboard, and entered the pairing key using the USB keyboard to enter the numbers (must be fast; was not fast enough on the first try) and at the end pressing Enter on the wireless keyboard.
I then used the Microsoft utility "remapkey.exe" from the "Microsoft Windows Resource Kit Tools" to put the Delete key on the right command button so I would be able to log in using Ctrl-Alt-Del.
VoilI tried to do what you described in this post but it does NOT work. I have a D-Link DBT-122 and Win XP running on a PC and the wireless keyboard.
I type the code in the grey field with an USB keyboard and then I do the same with the wireless one and press "Enter" but it does NOT work.

Flash a DBT-122 with a DBT-120 Rom?
Is it possible to flash a Rom file from the DBT-120 in the newer DBT-122 to get a better Mac compatibility?
That maybe because the D-Link DBT-122 has never been supported or recommended by Apple for use with Macs.
Only the *D-Link DBT-120* is officially supported and recommended by Apple.
See here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25598 -

HT5381 i did a software update and now mail wont open at all
Help......my mail app is coming up with an error "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X". Can I uninstall the update?
!! WARNING !!
about the September 2012
"Security Update 2012-004"
If you've got "Mail.app" in a folder OTHER THAN the root "Applications" folder,
MOVE "MAIL.APP" TO THE APPLICATIONS FOLDER
**BEFORE** INSTALLING THE "004" UPDATE!!
Because *IF* you use OSX's integrated Software Update app from the Apple menu to do the "004" updating, and *IF* your Mail.app is NOT in the Applications folder, then buddy, you've got some sitdown fixit time ahead of ya and/or some internet tie-up time downloading the "004" update file itself.
Been through it all, already. In fact, just got done getting my Mail back up & running. And I tried everything short of attempting to unpacking my "Mail.pkg" receipt file using... whatever... even Pacifist couldn't get it out. So that fixit "Plan D" died quick. And I'm not savvy enough to use Terminal commands to do "Plan E," so that SUDO stuff was my brick wall.
So I compressed my entire "Mail" subdirectory that contain all my emails, for safekeeping during the required surgery, or whatever would work, leaving the original Mail directory where it was. In case something bad happened in all my fixit whatevers, the one thing I *didn't* want to cross paths with was a hosed Library -> Mail folder. Then I'd be pssd. But I can wipe out that ZIP now 'cause all's well now. After 6 hrs of downloading thru a mobile broadband hotspot running at only 14KB/sec speed due to my having gone over my T-Mobile hotspot plan's bandwidth amount (throttled-down after reaching the limit, tho not cut off completely. Kinda nice, but it's a huge speed drop).
I tried moving the two Mail.app versions around, compressing them & then trashing the original so they wouldn't be recognized, blabla, even booted my Mac in Safe Mode & reinstalled the "MacOSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) Update Combo.dmg" update file, which in the past has fixed many problems. But after restarting, not this one.
Like a dummy who ignored knowing better, I had my Mail.app in a folder other than the Applications folder, with only an alias to that being in the Applications folder. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. The updater don't see that as nuthin special or useful.
So if you've got, like I've got, "old" icons for Mail.app (v4.5) in your Finder toolbar & in your Dock that all point to "Mail.app v4.5" in whatever folder you've got that in, other than in the Applications folder (where Apple apparently REQUIRES that it be located, and ONLY there, at least for OSX updating purposes), then after you download & autorun that "004" updater using Software Update, NONE of your pre-existing Mail icons will work. And MOST aggravatingly, **NOR** will your brand-new "Mail.app v4.6" work that came out of the "004" updating installation. So basically, your Mail.app's... all of 'em.... are hosed. But only if you run the "004" update without your "Mail.app v4.5" being located in your Applications folder and ONLY in your Applications folder. And duplicates of Mail.app, scattered around your HDD?? Always a problem with many Apple apps.... The Apple software engineers apparently like 'em to be in the Applications folder, and in ONLY there, and ONLY the latest version, and ONLY 1 single copy of each on your entire HDD. They just don't seem to stress that enough, it appears. Kind of an oversight for them to not emphasize that, IMO...
My recommendation for this particular September 2012 "004" update:
If you run Software Update, and if you see the "Security Update 2012-004" listed as available for download, UNCHECKMARK IT. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT USING SOFTWARE UPDATE ! Instead, download the actual update file itself.
Same thing, only a different way of doing it. Most importantly, you'll be skipping the auto-installation that Software Update performs.
AND you'll have that update file on your HDD for future fixits, should a nasty "unfixable" problem come up.
First, #1. Do a filename search for "Mail" (Option-Command-Spacebar). Scroll down to where the "Apps" are located in the list under the "Kind" column heading. First, find your Mail.app that's v4.5. Get that bugger into your Applications folder if it's not already there. Next, Trash all other "Mail.app" apps you see in that same list that you may have elsewhere on your HDD.
#2. Go here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
And download the actual "004" DMG update file: "SecUpd2012-004.dmg"
And of course, it's a biggie.... 270MB... so watching grass grow may be involved here if you've got a slow connection (go to a MacDonalds & do it, like I shoulda done).
3. After downloading, I'd recommend closing down all apps, emptying the Trash, and restarting.
Then, after restarting, run Disk Utility's "Repair Disk Permissions."
Then, doublecheck that the Mail.app version 4.5 is in your Applications folder.
THEN fire up & install "SecUpd2012-004.dmg."
Reboot.
After the reboot, your Mail.app version 4.5 in the Applications folder will have become Mail.app version 4.6 in the Applications folder, and all will be well again.
And you can dump that zipped-up "Username -> Library -> Mail" folder then, too.
Happy Mac'in!

4 or 5 times I've updated Firefox only to have to reinstall the previous version due to incompatibility with add-ons / plug-ins / toolbars. I'm not a big user of Toolbars but I have some add on I use daily.
The last 3 times I did a "suggested by Firefox" update I've had to reinstall a previous version from my saved files in order to use Firefox. This problem has caused me to return to IE as my default browser - but unwillingly.
My current setup is Firefox 4.0.1 Beta and I had to reinstall a version 3 in the Firefox folder until addons starting working in this 4.0.1 Beta. However 4.0.1 has always hung up, even opening a tab and ceases to respond; sometimes for minutes.
I run Win XP - SP3 Dell Pentium 4 - 3.0ghz with 4 gigs of DDR2 - GX520. So it's not an equipment problem - (I have 4 PC's on my home LAN - although each serves it's purpose and seldom are 2 used at the same time.
When I installed 4.0.1 and then reinstalled 3.x ... I've been hoping for an update --- I love Firefox - have ever since first use - and then today I saw the update versions had jumped from 4 all the way to 7. I was enthused.
Same issue. On install over the V 3.x it showed 6 items of add-ons that were incompatible. I did not remove the V 7 ... I simple reopened the 4.0.1 beta. I use it for single page browsing as tabs locks it up or slows it to a crawl.
I'm having to continue using IE as my default --- I always keep a backup browser, but I don't care for much of anything that has an MS on it's name.
I've never posted to Mozilla ... but the idea crossed my mind over a year ago when I updated and had to back-up and reinstall. WHY can't a program precede the update to check for compatibility, just as an upgrade adviser from one OS to another?
This was the biggest list of all. NET Framework Assistant, Google Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar, Roboform ... there were 2 others. I don't use the Yahoo Toolbar. I have Google Toolbar installed but keep it hidden except when I need it (for Page Rank, etc., I work websites).
But I won't use a browser that doesn't support AI Roboform.
I honestly love Firefox. I code webpages - .asp, .html and do SEO ... but I don't know the difficulty of writing even a small application. Would it be too difficult to have a small program that would check for these add-on incompatibilities before installing the updates.
I was impressed with 4.0.1 beta until I realized that opening a new window or tab bogged it down.
I want Firefox back but not with band-aids and work-around bandages. Is there a version between 4.0.1 and v7 which I tried tonight that would support my plug-ins / add-on. My experience with Firefox using versions up to 3.x has been great. But for months and months I open 4.0.1 and open my TV guide at ZapIt and then I've had to use IE 8 for all my web browsing.
My most important add-on is for Roboform and 2nd would be for Google Toolbar - but on a scale of 1-10 Roboform is a 10+ and Google Toolbar a 3.
If this post does not go to the support team at Firefox then how would I go about suggesting an Update Adviser prior to installing an update?
Anyone with a flexible solution - even short term - that would allow me to see Firefox improvements since the v4 I'm using would be more appreciated than I could ever express.
Since I've never posted before I'm not even sure how I'll get a response or be able to see any responses. Something during the registration said I could get an email when a reply was posted.
Thanks again for listening to me whimper and beg for a workable Firefox; I miss it.this is all I can find, thank you for your time.

Installed latest itunes update and computer tried to burn a playlist to CD and realized computer no longer recognizes my CD/DVD drive. After doing some data mining, found out from community this is an long standing APPLE problem- which doesn't get much tech support in terms of fixes. I have an HPPavillion DV6 64 bit, Windows 7 OS . After reading an earlier complaint from 2009 in the support community, I ran diagnostics from ITunes which gave the following result. Can someone please help? (I'm not enough of a techie to know what I'm doing or how to locate /reinstall CD drivers. I am searching for driver disc but cannot locate.)
