bmarkovic Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hello all, I've recently purchased an USB dongle for my Hackintosh. It's a very cannonical build (I3 3225, Z77-DS3H, HD4000) running ML 10.8.0, and it otherwyse works great. The dongle is recognized by the computer in the sense that it shows up as this: Bluetooth USB Host Controller: Product ID: 0x0001 Vendor ID: 0x0a12 (Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd.) Version: 19.15 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Location ID: 0x1a130000 / 4 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): 0 in System Information. However there is no Bluetooth Icon in System Preferences or Menubar. The whole thing is odd since it's a CSR dongle already defined in /S/L/E/IOBluetoothFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/CSRBluetoothHCIControllerUSBTransport.kext as this: <key>CSRUSBBluetoothHCIController</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.iokit.CSRBluetoothHCIControllerUSBTransport</string> <key>IOClass</key> <string>CSRBluetoothHCIControllerUSBTransport</string> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOUSBDevice</string> <key>idProduct</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>idVendor</key> <integer>2578</integer> </dict> (I checked the DevID and VenID values against hex from SysInfo and they're the same) I googled and browsed and found no clue (most stuff I find are people whose Wake on Blueetooth doesn't work). Any ideas? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287988-cannot-get-usb-bluetooth-dongle-to-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_//T_//ias Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Same Dongle with other issue though - Mine stopped working after 10.8.5 update and now i'm stuck, although it comes on, it does not function properly. I see another person used his settings from 10.8.4 via Time Machine and got it to work, but I do not have that 10.8.4 plist to apply the old settings.

M_//T_//ias Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 @bmarkovic - your USB dongle should work fine in 10.8.0 that you are running without any problems at all, I think you must have a configuration problem - try repairing permissions and rebuilding kext cache and also try another USB port maybe to see if it shows up in System Preferences. @iFIRE - sorry for the confusion, I am having problems with this dongle in 10.8.5 (after combo update) and in 10.9 DP8, but not in 10.8.4 (works without any problems). It does work OOB (in all versions for sure), in 10.8.5 and 10.9 once you toggle the bluetooth off, it does not go off at all (just stays on with wheel spinning), and there is nothing one can do besides changing the value: ControllerPowerState back to 1 again in "com.apple.Bluetooth.plist" and then reboot ------ understand? So in other words ---- you cannot toggle it on and off at will .... However this could maybe be due to the way I upgraded 10.8.4 via Apple Store - but I cannot see why though, surely one does not have to download the whole 10.8.5 that's 5Gig to get it to work? This is my CSR dongle: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287988-cannot-get-usb-bluetooth-dongle-to-work/#findComment-1948236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
