Connecting a wii remote using bluetooth on a mac?

Is it possible to connect a mac to a wii remote but the problem is that although I can see the remote I can't connect because of a passkey and the remote can't just pair it. Do I need a program or would the built in bluetooth in Ma OS X do?

Using Bluetooth on a C8180 All-in-One to print from Mac OS-X

Dear folks,
I have a new iMac and would like to be able to print from it to my 8180 AiO using bluetooth. My Mac sees the printer (it's paired), and the Mac has the latest print driver installed, and I've verified the bluetooth setup on the 8180, but nothing I do has enabled the printer to go "online" with bluetooth so that I can print. Of course, I've verified the printer is fine with a cable connection. Does anyone have any idea if this should work, and if so, what else I may need to do to make it work?
Please feel free to copy your responses directly to my email: <text removed for privacy>
Thanks.

did you ever get a response elsewhere? having the same issue with a c5550. no crash though, and it even shows up in the printer queue, but always say disconnected. tried to edit serial port options. says it's connected for a moment. try to print. still disconnected. green light goes off.

Can I share music between Mac and iPhone using bluetooth

While I use Home Sharing to allow my phone and my wife's to access an iTunes library housed on my Macbook Pro, when we travel by air obviously we do not have Wi Fi available. I know I can buy a "Y" cable to connect two sets of earphones to my Mac so we can both listen to music without disturbing other passengers, but I'm wondering if we can eliminate cabling both devices to the Mac by using bluetooth?
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks

No

How can I use bluetooth to send data to my mac book pro?

I can connect my smartphone (nokia) to my Mac Book Pro, but if I try to send something from Nokya to my Mac using bluetooth, that's impossible. The only way is to search what I wanto to store in my Mac, using the Mac and browse my Nokia with Finder.
Is this correct ??
Is the bluetooth an univesral protocol to send and receive data between two sources ???
Why my Mac is unable to receive the data sended by another source ?? (the same question is valid using an iPhone and another smartphone to try to send/receive data).
Many thank for your response.

I have many movies I made in iMovie and need to burn to DVD for players.
You need this: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/idvd.html#custom
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Can I use a bluetooth keyboard on a non-bluetooth enabled (Old)Mac Pro?

Sorry, this seems like something I could easily find an answer to, but I haven't found the answer on the forums or in google searches.
My quad core Mac Pro is not Bluetooth enabled. I'm assuming I can just use a USB Bluetooth dongle to talk to the keyboard. I thought I would double check before I start spending money. I do have a Belkin Bluetooth dongle already, but I've seen some talk about some talk about some other options from the Mac Store. I'm just hoping to hear what has worked for others.
Thanks!

Can my mac pro Bluetooth talk to my new ATV using Bluetooth to send slideshows

Can my mac pro Bluetooth talk to my new ATV using Bluetooth to send slideshows, music and movies

You know you don't have to buy a replacement dvd drive from apple. For example, take a look at OWC's selection.
You don't say what year your mac pro is so I use a 2008 as an example. On that page click the little picture that shows a 2008 mac pro. That will take you to this page. And there's an example of a Lite-On drive.
In addition, on the right side of that page are links to instructional videos on how to add the drive to your machine. Click, for example, Optical, med (medium) and you will see how straight forward it is to change the optical drive.

Share MBP wifi with Mac Pro using Bluetooth

hey there, is it possible to share my MBP wifi with Mac Pro 2009 which doesnt have and airport extreme installed (yet) using bluetooth? I sort of paired both devices, and internet sharing is ON on MBP, my Mac Pro connects but there is no internet! Im using Time Capsule as a router. Maybe someone knows the answer? Thank you

No. You can share it to an Ethernet connection, though: run an Ethernet cable between them and share to that connection.

HT5639 unable to pair my iphone 4s to my mac using bluetooth been to apple store who have told me there is a clitch and to wait for undates to cure the problem ?

unable to pair my iphone 4s to my mac using bluetooth been to apple store who have told me there is a clitch and to wait for undates to cure the problem ?

I have my iPhone 4S paired with my macbook retina, so hexonxonx's reply is incorrect.
After you pair your phone and your computer, go into network preferences on your computer. Click the bluetooth pan, check that you see your phone and click connect.
That worked for me.
If I click connect from the phone it tells me that my retina mbp isn't compatible and it forces me to forget this device. If this happens just repair it...
Good luck

How do i connect my iPhone 5 to my i mac using bluetooth

having trouble connecting my iphone 5 to my i mac using bluetooth.computor and phone find each other and phone shows numbered code on screen but still will not connect .what am i doing wrong

You get an aux cable from any store that sells electronics. Plug one end into the head unit in the car and the other end into the headphone jack on the phone.

Attempting to use bluetooth for the first time, and it never sees any other devices

I have an iPad 2 about a year old, running iOS 6.0.1. This morning I tried to connect to another iPad, over bluetooth, and neither iPad is able to discover the other. This is the first attempt to use bluetooth on either of these iPads. The other iPad is also running iOS 6.0.1. The iPads were less than 10 feet apart.
On both devices, I went to settings:bluetooth, and turned blutooth "on". This opened up a "Devices" box, which says "Searching...", with a spinning wheel icon. Below this box is says "Now discoverable". Both devices remained in this state.
I haven't used bluetooth before so I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
Later in the day I fiddled with the bluetooth systems prefs panel on my desktop (a circa 2005 intel mac running OSX 10.6.8).

(hadn't finished my earlier message but somehow it posted it before I was ready).
From the OSX bluetooth panel, I turned bluetooth on, and made my computer discoverable. I then hit "setup new device", and was taken to the Bluetooth setup assistant. After a few seconds it showed me my ipad as one of the devices it had discovered. Over on the ipad, though, it did not discover the desktop machine.
After about a minute, I then selected the ipad from the list of devices on the desktop machine, and hit "continue". At this point it said "attempting to pair with MyIpad", and "connection established". At the same time, a panel popped up on my iPad, listing my desktop machines name, and asking for a PIN. It is not clear to me whether it is asking for a PIN that I have supposedly set up on the desktop machine, or if it is asking me to establish a PIN. So I quit.
In any case, my goal in going through this attempt on the destop machine was solely to establish whether the bluetooth hardware is working on the ipad. I believe that has to be true.
So, can someone explain to me what steps I am *supposed* to go through to pair up two ipads over bluetooth?
