Apple Bluetooth 4.0 Usb Adapter

I bought Waves NX Head Tracker to use it with Logic Pro X in a Mac Pro Mid 2010 OS El Capitan and Bluetooth 2.1 I needed Bluetooth 4.0, so I bought this StarTech adapter. Plugged into my computer, but it was not recognized as BT 4.0. Then I downloaded Hardware_IO_Tools_for_Xcode_7.3.dmg, and installed Bluetooth Explorer in the Applications folder. Opened it, Tools menu and choose HCI Controller Selector, I clicked at the arrows and selected Broadcom Corp and clicked Activate. Done My computer recognized the StarTech adapter as Bluetooth 4, and I was able to use my excellent Waves NX Head Tracker.

Mini USB Bluetooth® 4.0 Adapter is a fantastic product! Better working range than other Bluetooth receivers/transmitters. Works great with Sony MDR-10R after checking ALL of the configuration for USBBT1EDR4. You MUST install ONLY the last version of the CSR Harmony software; if you have an older version installed, you MUST uninstall the older version first. The new version unfortunately does not include drivers for all of the older transmitters and you can't have more than one version installed at the same time. I highly recommend this product.

This is essentially the same cable apple includes with an iPhone and iPad. If you're going to use it to charge and iPhone or iPad, make sure you have a USB adapter you can plug into an outlet. It's MFI certified which is certification for compatibility with Apple products. The cable is a little less flexible than Apple's cable. This might be due to a thicker and sturdier outer jacket which would make this cable a little more durable than the Apple cable.

The product is great but please note in order for the adapters to work, they must be hooked to the Apple 12W USB Power Adapter (i.e., iPads &/or similar for laptops). Choose a plug from the World Travel Adapter Kit. The International plug goes into the foreign wall but you will see it has no connecting area for the US end. Take the 12W Apple USB adapter and pull it apart at the corner. You will find a hidden area that now allows you to slid your International plug adapters backside into the 12W USB adapter. Thus creating a male/female electrical connecting area. Took 2 hours on the phone with Apple for them to find this answer as it is not in the booklet nor on any web page. Apple called a local store to finally get the answer.

I have an iMac from late 2009 and by bluetooth was not totally compatible with the Magic Track Pad 2. Before ordering the trackpad I researched on the internet, spoke to people at Apple and B&H. What I got was varying opinions. What I concluded was that I should spend the extra money. When they arrived I paired by trackpad to my iMac without the adapter. It worked initially. But when the iMac went to sleep, the pairing was lost. I hooked up the adapter and since then the trackpad and iMac are happily paired. One last comment. Since I bought from B&H and live out of New York State, there was no sales tax. That combined with the lower price for the trackpad at B&H, I saved money versus driving to the closet Apple Store. Thank you B&H!

When I bought the 2018 Apple Mac mini, my Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad became unreliable to unusable unless plugged into the computer, consuming two ports. After a lot of isolating and testing, I determined the problem was my old USB-3 multipart hub. Replacing that with the Sabrent 10-port USB-3 hub has completely eliminated the problem.

Bluetooth pairs well with Windows or Linux on my laptop, and the USB adapter provides reliable fallback. The mouse fits my large hands, feels solid, and responds smoothly.

My significant other works from home and needed to replace her Polycom Voxbox, which has been malfunctioning when its warranty ended. Replaced it with the Jabra Speak 750. Even though the Speak 750 supports wired USB and Bluetooth, I used the USB adapter that came with 750 in order to establish full Teams control from the Speak 750. It has worked flawlessly with her Windows 10 Pro HP laptop. Note that I tried using Windows Bluetooth, but it did not have the range of Teams controls that the adapter provides. Plus, noise cancelling works fine, where even noise from the dish washer does not interrupt the call. The Speak 750 supports up to 10 Bluetooth-paired devices with 2 active simultaneously. In using the USB adapter, the iPhone that is paired with the 750 does not interrupt any Teams meetings if the iPhone receives a message or phone call. Finally, Jabra technical support was excellent. Had an issue with audio feedback, and after 10 minutes of wait, I was able to talk to a live, knowledgeable person and resolved the issue. Highly recommend the Speak 750!

A good adapter for transitioning from Apple lightning to USB-C devices. Although a little pricey.

This cable fixed my CarPlay issues. I have a 2019 Ford F450 and with the Apple cable + USB-C adapter (Apple doesn’t sell a USB-A to USB-C cable) I was constantly getting disconnected from my CarPlay receiver. I haven’t had a single disconnect with this cable. A real life-saver!
