[QUOTE="sandman, post: 1814273, member: 46922"] just an FYI If you did not know, apple has an internet based hardware diagnostic test. shut down your computer, then just after you hit the start button, hit shift + D at same time this will boot you into a test mode... it's easy from there, I used the long test 22 + min but it showed my Macbook pro with not problems. If this is true then my Bluetooth problem is software... which I will not try to find a driver on the apple site Best So after more research... I have determined that the problem is software. there is suppose to be a file in the (library\preference) folder that reads com.apple.bluetooth.plist This is a created file when you pair a bluetooth device.. I have no such file on my laptop... and I don't think you could other wise make that file I am leary about the bluetooth doggle, but it might be my only recorse. When trying to pair at least from my mid 2011 Macbook pro 13" you really need to start at the system preference\Network, and make sure your setting are correct (read) then click on the bluetooth icon or click on (setup bluetooth) When you turn on your device you should see an icon the click connect it will aske if you want to pair, if it does not, you have a software problem. pairing an Iphone you get a set of number (6) to place into boxes... mine still did not pair... I have not found a way to reinstall the bluetooth software, and the ones I have seen on the apple site are older then 2011... [/QUOTE]
