We need Bluetooth!!

Posted on another topic with no response. Please help.
We just got an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and when my wife plugged it in the Mac computer saw it and paired with it. And when she tried to get it to pair with her iPad... it did... but then the Mac computer couldn't see it. (It told her she had to set it up first on iPad, then on the computer-- so she deleted it off the Mac computer list.)
How do we get it to see BOTH her computer and iPad?
I sure hope this is Apple simple because we are not computer wizards.
Thanks so much, Dan

I'm confused. Why would you want one device to pair with two different clients? Like your bluetooth headset only pairs with one client, because you don't want to be hearing conversations or music from other devices.

My neighbour's Mac Book Pro shows up as discoverable when Bluetooth is turned on in my iPad Air. How can I block her device? How can I prevent her pairing with my iPad Air. I need Bluetooth on to play music over my system.

If your device is discoverable, the other BT device would try (I am not sure if that would be successful). If it was, it would appear in your system preferences>Bluetooth.
Take a look at this re: security:

This is from another Apple article:
Use Bluetooth
You can wirelessly transfer files between computers—even Mac to PC—using the Bluetooth File Exchange utility. You can even browse selected devices and retrieve files remotely. For extra security, you can stipulate that only trusted devices be allowed to connect to your Mac, and 128-bit over-the-air encryption is also available

P.S. Since I have not had the issue, I have not researched this before. Thank you for making me look into BT security

Need Bluetooth Peripheral Device Driver

Dell PC O/S Vista. BlackBerry 8830 World Edition. Local service provider is Cellcom
Just updated my software: PC to BB Desktop v4.5.0.16 & BB Handheld v4.5.0.138. Upon reboot of PC I get a message 'Found New Hardware' with three options; 1) 'Windows needs to install driver software for your Bluetooth Peripheral Device'. or 2) 'Ask me again later' or 3) 'Don't show this message again for this device'. I choose 1) 'Locate and install drive software'. PC tries but cannot locate driver. Next window, 1) Insert disc or 2) I don't have the disc. I choose 2) 'I don't have the disc'. Next window, 1) 'Check for a solution' or 2) 'Browse my computer for driver software'. I've tried both with no success and receive a message the 'Windows was unable to install your Bluetooth Peripheral Device'.
Any help from this forum would be appreciated.

Actually this is how I fixed this issue (thanks to Ghostie3599).
PREAMBLE: Bear in mind this is a Research In Motion issue, and not a Microsoft issue. The Blackberry software should have the appropriate .INF files that allow Windows to install the correct device drivers for all detected Bluetooth Peripherals.
Go to the Control Panel and choose the Device Manager applet
You should see two items called Bluetooth Peripheral Device being listed with an yellow icon, meaning that they can't be"used" due to missing drivers.
Right click the first Bluetooth Peripheral Device and choose Update Driver Software...
When asked how do you want to search for the driver software, select the second option Browse My Computer for driver software
When asked for what kind of hardware this is, select the option Ports (COM & LPT) and click Next
At the Update Driver Software Dialog, click on the bottom option that is preceeded by a green arrow Let me pick from a list of device drivers from my computer
In the next dialog, make sure the option Show compatible hardware is NOT SELECTED
From the list of Manufacturers at the left,select RIM Virtual Serial Ports
The list of Models at the right will drill down to RIM Virtual Serial Port.Select this model and click Next.
You should get a confirmation that the driver was successfuly installed.
In my case, following these steps gave Windows vista the hint that the other Bluetooth Peripheral Device would work with the same driver. So after doing these steps for the first Bluetooth Peripheral Device, I got both devices working OK. However, if you still have the second Bluetooth Peripheral Device being listed with the yellow icon (i.e.: missing drivers), try repeating these steps to see if it works. If it doesn't, then the Bluetooth Peripheral Device might be something else (i.e.: not a virtual COM port).
Hope this helps!

P.

Help needed: Bluetooth App problem

Hi all,
I am trying to create a bluetooth app using j2me, but i am stuck and i need some help. The bluetooth app i am trying to create is a simple 2d tic-tac-toe game, which uses bluetooth to pass messages between devices in order to play the game. I can send these message in the MIDlet class,but i can't use these methods to send message from the canvas class which is used to create the tic-tac-toe user interface. I have the code available on request if anyone would like a look.
Any help would be great, thanks the help in advance.

I can send these message

Need bluetooth headset that is compatible with the iPhone and a blackberry

Alright I have a blackberry curve right now because Ive been waiting for 2.0 to come out.
Now that its here, I need a little bit more time to to gather up the funds to get the phone, but I need to get a bluetooth now for work.
I'd like get a bluetooth now that I can use on my blackberry temporarily and then use it on my iPhone instead of having to fork over money twice.
Now I really want to get the dock for the iphone and I think I have seen pictures of a dock for a phone AND bluetooth?
Am I correct that this exsists?
I've seen the apple bluetooths and they dont have a ring that goes around your ear like most and I'm worried that just sticking it in my ear is not solid enough.
Normal music earphone buds dont seem to fit comfortablly in my ear, so I'd rather having something hanging from my ear as opposed to stuffed in it.
So is there a bluetooth headset with an ear ring that will plug into an apple phone dock for charging?

Can you buy a universal hook to clip on the apple earbud?
Yes. I have heard good things about this product:

I mean is there any rumor about them coming out with a new apple dock for 2.0?
Not that we've heard, though I'd imagine that one will be coming eventually.
If they are, and there is a universal hook that will clip on their ear piece, I would prefer to stick with the apple gear.
Apple doesn't make one to my knowledge

Need Bluetooth for a Software Download Tryout?

I was trying to download Adobe Photo Elements 30-day tryout and after clicking--
"Adobe Photoshop Elements.pkg.sit" the error message is: "No Bluetooth Hardware Found"
This is the 2nd time I have tried to download software & the only default application is "Bluetooth"
1. how do I disable this (even though I do NOT have Bluetooth) or change application preferences?..

Hey iBod--
I do have StuffIt expander 10.0 installed. (btw--Thanx for the StuffIT acronym--I kid u not, it was an ah-hah! moment for newbie me)
Anyways, an error message came up #17537: couldn't open Adobe Photoshop Elements.pkg. And any other attempts to open this sit file w/o dragging it into StuffIt brings up the Bluetooth Does Not Exist message.
(My disk utility says my HD is o.k. & I do have enough memory.)
Grr. After all this drama, I'm just ready to A) go & buy the Photoshop DVD software w/o trial B) get a USB Bluetooth D-Link (though I still don't know why Adobe insists I need this to open this file) or C) buy the StuffIt DELUXE 10.0. Either way, I'm out $40-$80 (not LOL)
Oh wells, thanx for your reply & trying to help I appreciate it.

I need Bluetooth on my Pavilion.

I don't have Bluetooth on my Pavilion. I was asked to upgrade. I got following message when i entered the product number. "HP has not tested this PC. For this reason, HP is unable to provide upgrade instructions or Windows 8 drivers. You may lose basic functionality & stability if you try to upgrade." What can I do to have the Bluetooth on my notebook? Thanks.

Hey Mukomite
Purchase an External Bluetooth Dongle and simply attached with the USB Port .. I supports windows ..
Use this above Idea As an alternative only, if u not find any suitable drivers for your Pavilion notebook

Windows 7 on sony computer needs bluetooth driver for ipad

where can i find a driver to download for windows 7 to connect bluetooth to my ipad2

You can use shared internet connection with Macbook Pro and Mobile Devices but not in Windows? That does not make any sense...

Need bluetooth stereo head phones

Does anyone know where i can buy a set of nokia bluetooth stereo headphones (model BH-503). Getting no joy from the australian customer care center, which for some useless reason seems to be based in india. I am desperate. Have broken two sets of the earlier BH-501 model as they have a design fault (no wonder nokia is now giving them away) and hope BH-503 has been designed with this fault in mind. (they have to be daft if they don't already know about the fault, and the fact that BH-501 is 'close moulded' and therefore not repairable).

Advice Needed Bluetooth Headphones

Hi could anyone please advise me on the best way to listen to a movie, music etc. On my desktop Mac, which I have in my bedroom without disturbing my neighbors I used to be able to do this using a program called Air Phone, so I could listen through my iPhone earphones but that is no longer available so does anyone know if Bluetooth headphones could do the same job? And if so what would you recommend! I am also going to buy a Smart TV in the near future so if I could have a Bluetooth headphone that I could use for both that would be great. Thanks

The BT profile in the Touch does not support mics, only stereo headphones or speakers or peer to peer (with certain games and apps).
I use the Motorola Rokr S9. Works well.

TS3253 Need Bluetooth peripheral driver for IPAD 2 on PC with Windows 7

I have Windows 7 on my PC. One of the devices I have conntected to the PC is my IPAD 2. I keep ketting a trouble shooting message that my bluetooth peripheral device has no driver. Can anyone tell me where I can download this driver?

Huh?? What exactly are ou trying to connect to your iPad via Bluetooth? If you are trying to connect your iPad to your PC, you can't. Bluetooth on iPad is specifically designed to pair Bluetooth Headphones, Keyboards and Speakers. Nothing more. And try as you might, there is no way you can download a driver of any kind to any iOS (iPad, iPhone, iPod) device.

Need Bluetooth Headset recommendation

I have been thru multiple bluetooths for my Storm. These are the same headsets I have used on other pre-storm phones including (samsung, jabra, & plantronics) and they have worked fabulously. The quality nowis poor and inconsistent (i.e. muffled, static, non-existent). When the sound is at least tolerable, it degrades after a few minutes.
I am sure there is some fabulous headset that will work with this phone.
By the way, this is my 3rd storm since January as they kept replacing it to improve the sound quality. I am looking to you all for assistance.
Thanks.

Another vote for the BlueAnt Z9i. I am using one with my Storm and it works great.

IS YOSEMITE AIRDROP NEEDS BLUETOOTH?

After updating to yosemite we have to enable bluetooth for transfer file via airdrop. This will take lot of time to transfer. Last version we have not face this type problem while using airdrop - wifi. Could you please send us a remedy?

When Bluetooth is on and not connected it uses very little power as described earlier. As Ralph9430 said, you can turn it off in Control Center.
If you would like to tell Apple it should be turned off when turnign AirDrop off, let them know here, www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.
