CaliRobC Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hello, I'm having problems getting bluetooth to work. I bought this: Miccus Home RTX -http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00713RSE0/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_4I bought it as it listed that it works with macs and it is rated well for long range bluetooth which is what I need in my house. Problem is that it doesn't even recognize it. It should be plug and play I thought. I go into system preferences/Network then use a "Built in Serial Port with the confuration set to Bluetooth but have no clue what to do from there. In fact I really don't have much of a clue for any of this. I have a wireless trackpad and key board that I would like to pair to it as well but I read that if I am using it for music that it won't work with other devices. That is fine. I just am trying to get it to work in the simplest sense now, getting it recognized by the computer.... This is my build:Mavericks Z87MX D3H - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116901i7 4770kSSD +HDD16 GB RamNo graphics cardAny and all help is greatly appreciated even if it is suggestions on new bluetooth transmitters if that is what I have to do, so be it, but I'd rather not. Thing was 50 bucks.... Thanks again. -Rob By the way my install was with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], forgot to mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Cat Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's really hard to say if you would ever be able to use that. It sounds like a relativity specialist Bluetooth transmitter, although you may get lucky. First step is to connect it up and head to About this Mac > More Info... > System Report... and under Hardware click Bluetooth to see if it is being recognised by the system. If you're not getting anywhere, try this: http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/09/best-hackintosh-bluetooth-adapters.html Personally I have and can recommend the IOGEAR GBU521 as a great hack-compatible Bluetooth adapter if you just want to connect up your keyboard and trackpad. This one is guaranteed to work for those sorts of things. But as for your music/ transmitter needs, I really can't say. You'd have to research it. Good luck.
