最近因為需要,所以研究藍芽Mac OS X 上的 藍牙傳輸
才赫然發現,手邊的 Macbook 所搭載的是舊版藍牙模組是舊的,所以出現此文
確認你的 Macbook 型號是否支援
(資料來源:Continuity Activation Tool)
請去對照一下你的 Mac 型號,點左上角的蘋果 > About this Mac 就可以看到資訊
主要是落在 亮綠色 (Works) / 草綠色 (Works with Bluetooth 4.0 USB dongle OR new AirPort Extreme Card) / 藍色 (Works with Bluetooth 4.0 USB dongle)
就可以使用
小弟的電腦是 Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011) 所以落在草綠色上
所以可以使用
選購藍牙接收器
所需使用的必需要是 Broadcom BCM20702 的晶片(這也是Apple所使用的藍芽晶片)
市面上買的到的,小弟這裏列出幾個可供挑選
- WellWhole WED-210 V4 藍芽迷你接收器 V4.0+EDR
- IOGEAR GBU521 迷你型藍牙4.0 傳輸器藍芽接收器
- KBTalking 藍芽接收器
當然還有其他的 Broadcom 晶片的,如果有看到歡迎不吝告知
採用 CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) 的晶片目前是不支援,選購時可要注意
安裝藍牙接收器
小弟是使用 WellWhole WED-210 V4 藍芽迷你接收器
就直接插進去就好了
然後會在 系統資訊 USB 頁籤看到二個藍牙裝置
一個會寫 Broadcom Corp. 一個會寫 Apple Inc.
使用工具Patch
主要是使用 Continuity Activation Tool 這個工具幫我們調整

這樣就成功了
