Bluetooth - Stuck on "Bluetooth Loading"

Hey guys,

I was hoping someone could help me.

I'm trying to make my wireless Apple Aluminum Keyboard and the wireless mighty mouse but I can't.

I'm running AppleTV 3.0.2 + ATV Flash 4.1.2

I tried NitoTV smart installer. In the logs I see this error:

2010-05-14 18:24:35.390 nitoHelper[216] Bluetooth.menu install failure

all the other things that say bluetooth installed successfully.

I have a DBT-122 dongle that I use in my Mac. When I plug it in the ATV I see that the icon appears in SystemPreferences but when I click on it it gets stuck on "Bluetooth Loading".

Because I cannot navigate in the system preferences page with the apple remote, I had to connect a powered USB HUB to be able to have the dongle and the mouse connected at the same time.

Anyone knows how to help me?

Bluetooth seems not to work out of the nitoTV box, see Thread http://www.hackint0sh.org/f98/65727.htm, Page 27.

For initial setup, a existing USB mouse is necessary. I'm using it temporarily too with an USB Hub.

Thanks man!

I saw that post last week from work and I thought I bookmarked it but then I lost it. I tried to find it again and couldn't...

That was a very useful post. I'll continue my comments there as I think it might be more useful for the users posting there.

I've run across the same exact problem and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong... Please share any solutions you've encountered.

Thanks!

sorry mate, I couldn't find a way to make bluetooth work yet :(

The command "chown" should also be executed with the option "-R", because there are directories.

Try to insert the Bluetooth-Dongle after the system is completely loaded. In my case, Bluetooth doesn't start, when the BT-Dongle was inserted before powering up the AppleTV. If the BT-Dongle is inserted after the system is completely loaded, he is recognized and works fine.

For running Bluetooth on ATV see also Posts #261, #263, #265, etc in the thread: http://www.hackint0sh.org/f98/65727.htm .

Getting closer now showing Bluetooth Icon after waiting for boot up then plugged in adapter

But now stuck at bluetooth loading after I ran the following:

Which Bluetooth-Dongle do you use ?

Maybe you have an Dongle with the "wrong" chipset. For instance, the Atheros chipset from the DeLOCK adapter No. 61746 doesn't work with the ATV.

In /System/Library/Extensions/IOBluetoothFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ there are only 3 Kext's for HCI-Controllers listed.

I'm using an Sitecom CN-516 (v2-002) USB micro Bluetooth adapter, which contains a Cambridge Silicon Radio chipset (USB vendor ID 0xa12) and works fine with no performance lost at all.
