make_life_easier

A friend of mine in work sent me some music via bluetooth from the computer. I would like to do this myself but havent got a clue what to do. My is a window's pc and my friends is an apple mac so he doe'snt know how it would work on mine.

If anyone could tell me what to do that would be great. :beer:

you need to get a bluetooth usb adapter (such as this)

Please note: you will not be able to do this until you get an adapter such as the one above

then plug it in and let windows install its own drivers for bluetooth > then go to control panel > bluetooth devices > options tab > turn discovery on > apply then ok > scan on your mobile phone for the computer > when the comp. name comes up select it and enter 0000 (for example (you can use any code you want)) > click on the bubble by the clock ( saying something along the lines of "a bluetooth device is trying to connect to your computer, click here to allow the connection") > then enter the code you entered on your phone and click next and follow the wizard > when you have completed the wizard right click on a picture (for example) and then send to bluetooth device (eg. your phone) > when a message appears on the phone accept the item and it should be on the phone

Thanks for that info, that's how my friend connected to bluetooth the music through.


Is it called a bluetoothe dongle? I found one for 4.99 if that is.

correct! (but with out E on the end)

btw you only have to do the pairing once (the bit where you enter the code in the phone and computer)

That's not a bad price, even with the delivery charge. You can be charged anything up to £30 for one from some big-name stores.

edit - it also looks fairly identical to the one I've got, and mine works fine.

Hi, I'm also looking at buying one but found that there are now two "flavours" of blootooth. This is version 1 with a transfer speed of 1Mbs, but there are now version 2 ones with a transfer speed 3x that. here is one:

Am I right?

dont worry about the speed, you can go for the faster one but the transfer rate will be limited to that of the mobile/BT device
