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

解壓縮之後，開啟 Continuity Activation Tool

中間會要你輸入您的使用者密碼

 

會有

1) Activate Continuity

2) System Diagnostic

3) Uninstall

4) Quit

四個選項讓您選擇

填入數字1 按下Enter 開始Patch

安裝完成之後會提示你重開機

以下是小弟的安裝時的Log

Thanks to Lem3ssie, UncleSchnitty, Skvo, toleda, TealShark, Manic Harmonic, rob3r7o and the many beta testers for their support.

 

完成測試

可以使用 Mac 版的 LightBlue 做測試

 

請自 Mac App Store 下載

https://itunes.apple.com/tw/app/lightblue/id639944780?mt=12

下載完成看看能不能成功打開，而沒有收到需要開啟藍芽的提示
這樣就成功了

 

也可以在系統資訊看到

Bluetooth Low Energy Supported: Yes
Handoff Supported: Yes
Manufacturer: Broadcom
Transport: USB

這些字樣
