Apple releases Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.2

Apple has posted Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.2 for D-Link USB Adapters (revision B2 or later), and Apple internal Bluetooth modules on PowerBooks and PowerMacs.

The new release provides improvements in the update installation process and improved performance and reliability. Apple says the update will also improve connectivity between the computer and the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse.

Also of important note: applying this firmware updater to a D-Link USB to Bluetooth adapter will make it incompatible with non-Macintosh systems.

The update is available as a 1.3 MB download from Apple's Web site and through Software Update. When applying the release through Software Update, the Apple Bluetooth Module will be placed in the Applications/Utilities folder. Double click the installer and follow the on screen directions.
