It is relevant to Bluetooth after all. I have an Apple Wireless Keyboard that hasn't been able to pair since the batteries ran out (after a year). It seems that many others have had the same problem, but no successful remedy is available. Apple's first level support can only suggest removing and reinserting the batteries, which does not help. The keyboard is alive, but can't be found in BT search as a keyboard. However, when searching for all devices, it shows up, but only as "Device". The keyboard is alive, so I would feel stupid buying another Wireles Keyboard, especially if it failed the same way after the first batteries ran out. So I decided to investigate the problem, and it turns out to be quite a mess -- I'm hoping some knowledegeable BT experts would have some suggestions. Bluetooth Explorer (from Tiger developer tools) shows that the keyboard is identifying itself as: Major Class: Miscellaneous (0x00) Minor Class: Unclassified (0x00) Not a keyboard at all, so it seems to have lost its memory when the batteries went flat. My initial idea was to try and update the keyboard firmware, effectively resetting it. The only updater dates from March 2004, and it promptly crashed in OS X 10.4.9. The crash log revealed that dyld was looking for the following framework: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SecurityHICocoa.framework/Versions/ A/SecurityHICocoa but the image was not found. Indeed this is so (in Tiger). I think the updater would use it to get the admin password. (?) There is one in the 10.3.9 SDK found in the dev tools, but that doesn't help -- I get an mmap() error. So my next idea was to borrow the Panther install disks from a friend, install Panther to an external FireWire disk and boot from it, then run the Wireless Keyboard Updater. This didn't work at all because my Mac mini would not boot from the Panther install disk (apparently because it shipped with Tiger). Bluetooth on the Mac mini is fine, it finds all devices and I've done file transfers etc. It's just that the keyboard doesn't report itself correctly, so it cannot be paired and used. The same happens with my MacBook, which also has a Bluetooth that's proven to work. Both machines have BT software version 1.7.14f14. How do I trick Wireless Keyboard Updater to run in Tiger, if at all? Or could Apple please release an updated version of it that does not depend on SecurityHICocoa.framework? Would it be feasible to write a utility that resets the keyboard? What would that require? This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Connecting to a bluetooth device wrongly calls the AppleBluetoothHIDMouse driver

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hello, I will fill a radar bug on this issue. Best Regards, Camille Hi, Thank you for your help! Best, Camille _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Bluetooth-dev mailing list (Bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/bluetooth-dev/site_archiver%40lists.… I sent an email on the 11th of march describing a problem I have on some computers when connecting to a Nintendo Wiimote. As a reminder, this problem manifests itself as follows: - on machines with one cpu (eg. G4 power-pc), it is impossible to connect to the device ; - on machines with two cpus (eg. daul G5, MacBook Pro), the connection succeed on the second try ; - if we enable only one cpu or two cpus with the CHUD tools on a Mac Pro the above cases are reproducible. A cure to that problem is to remove the device entry in the Bluetooth preferences pane before each connection. My guess is that after the first connection, the blued.plist is corrupted. >From what I can learn from the the logs, it seems the Bluetooth HID layer tries to connect to the Wiimote and invokes the AppleBluetoothHIDMouse driver, which indeed fails to start. For me this is an error, and I would like to know if there is a workaround other than hacking blued.plist. I am trying to understand why a connection to a Wiimote fails when running a G4 computer. I actually found that enabling only one core on a Mac Pro produced the same results. Enabling all cores on the computer does not lead to that problem. It is possible to connect to the Wiimote when the device is removed from the recent devices list in the Bluetooth Preference Pane. I haven't found a way to do this programmatically. When the device fails to connect, a log is added in system.log as follows: Mar 11 22:33:01 Hippolyte kernel[0]: [IOBluetoothHIDDriver] [handleStart] final device setup failed Mar 11 22:33:01 Hippolyte kernel[0]: [IOBluetoothHIDDriver] [handleStart] Failed. If I remove the device from the recent devices list, here is what is logged: Mar 11 22:44:44 Hippolyte kernel[0]: [IOAppleBluetoothHIDDriver] [getDevicePropertiesWL][00-19-1d-93-eb-85] Error retrieving device properties. Mar 11 22:44:44 Hippolyte kernel[0]: [IOAppleBluetoothHIDDriver] [probe] Couldn't retrieve device properties Mar 11 22:44:44 Hippolyte kernel[0]: [AppleBluetoothHIDMouse] [getDevicePropertiesWL][00-19-1d-93-eb-85] Error retrieving device properties.

I would like to know if this is a bug in the Apple bluetooth driver and if there is a way to workaround this by programmatically remove the device from the recent devices list.

More details on OBEX FTP trouble

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com Thread-index: AcdksQzLS41E69CkEduXLgARJHK4jA== Thread-topic: More details on OBEX FTP trouble User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.3.3.061214 OK, I found out more about the problem I am having with the "OBEXSample" from Apple: 1. When I connect to my Nokia N80 phone (to "OBEX File Transfer" service), it all works: Put, Get and SetPath. I've even successfully modified the code to get a folder listing by using this line: OBEXAddTypeHeader( CFSTR("x-obex/folder-listing"), dictionary ); 2. But when I try the same with a connection to a second 10.4.8 Mac, I can only Put, whereas SetPath and Get return response code 0xC0 ("item not found") Can someone confirm/deny this? When I use Apple's own "Bluetooth File Exchange.app", I can successfully browse the other Mac. Any idea what is wrong with the Sample code? After all, it claims to work, yet it does not when talking to another Mac?! Thomas _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

I try to make a MacFUSE file system for the OBEX FTP, and I feel safer using something less dynamic there. Plus, I rather first have some sample working before I start changing it all. That's why I'd like to get Apple's Sample code working first - it can't even do a simple "Get" for a file.

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: bluetooth-dev(a)lists.apple.com User-agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.10 (Macintosh/20070221) I've just started trying out the bluetooth sample projects. I played with "OBEXSample", which uses the OBEX File Transfer Profile (FTP). While the Put command works (I connect to a second Mac), Get and SetPath return errors. I can't figure out what's wrong there. Reading the OBEX FTP docs I found that the connection should be created using a particular UUID. The sample code does not seem to do this. I can't figure out how to add this UUID. I can't find docs about this, either, at least not using the plain C interfaces. Has someone dealt with this before and has a working version that you can send me, please? Thomas First of all I recommend to use Objective-C when working with Bluetooth. You can then get the channel id for a given device like this: } Now you can open the Obex session: and then the ObexFileTransferService Next is to open the connection: status = [mFileTransferService connectToFTPService]; if(inError == kOBEXSuccess) { NSLog(@"it is connected!"); } else { NSLog(@"Connection failed, I'm disappointed..."); } } status = [mFileTransferService retrieveFolderListing]; Again release control to CFRunLoop and provide a callback function: error:(OBEXError)inError listing:(NSArray*)inListing { NSLog ([inListing description]; // Here is you directory } Ralf Menssen _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

So you have to provide a function in your delegate: - (void) fileTransferServicesConnectionComplete:(OBEXFileTransferServices *)inServices error:(OBEXError)inError { Now you can ask for the content for the current directory (after connection it is "/") - (void) fileTransferServicesRetrieveFolderListingComplete:(OBEXFileTransferServices*)inServices This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
