LG VX8100 Mac OS X Bluetooth Dongle Problems!!!
(posted on howardforums.com also)
Ok, somebody PLEASE help.
I've been sitting here for the past 3 hours trying to get my 8100 connected to my dual g5 os 10.3.9 via a D-Link Bluetooth USB Dongle adaptor. I think I've read through every forum related to this on howardforums as well as every other site out there. Nobody else is experiencing this???
I opened up the package and plugged the bluetooth dongle into the open usb port directly on the front of my mac and my computer recognized it right away. I then went through the setup assistant and my comp and the phone recognized each other with the password provided on the computer.
The problem is, I cannot get Bitpim to recognize the phone. It seems like the mac is recognizing it but i don't even know that for sure either because under the devices tab in bluetooth in system preferences, the phone is listed LG VX8100 but it reads:
Paired: Yes
Favorite: Yes
Connected: No <<shouldn't this be yes??
Now in Bitpim, which is the latest OS X version (0.7.35), I have the phone set to LG-VX8100 (Verizon Wireless). However, for some reason the Bluetooth USB dongle port reads inactive and will not let me use it as an active port. It reads the following when Browsing for a Com Port:
USB Device - Vendor Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Product Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) (Interface #00) usb::003::008-0a12-0001-e0-01::0
This port is active but not available for use.
Property Value Description
active True Your operating system shows this driver and port is correctly configured and a device attached
available False It was not possible to open this port
description USB Device - Vendor Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Product Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) (Interface #00)
libusb True This indicates if the usb library is in use to access this device. Operating system device drivers (if any) are bypassed when BitPim talks to the device
name usb::003::008-0a12-0001-e0-01::0 This is the name the port is known to your operating system as
protocol Wireless / Radio Frequency / Bluetooth This is the protocol the USB device claims to speak
___________
Why the **** isn't the port being recognized as an active port?????

If somebody could please help it would be very greatly appreciated!!!
I've spent so much time trying to get this dam phone where I want it since i bought it a month ago, it's utterly ridiculous. And by the way - upgrading to v4 erased all of my pics and flix on the phone...they now show up as question mark icons and refuse to be deleted but this is another thread...
PLEASE HELP - THX
