BlueTooth

is part of the OS and not a separate install.
If you cannot find any trace of it on your machine, check the system profiler to see if it is still a functioning device.
If it is, you could try a custom install and see if the Bluetooth software is available in the install. If not, an Archive and Install should fix it.
Of course, if the device is defective, no installation will help

um... that "Custom Install"

would be accomplished by using the System CDs that came with the 'puter or the subsequent disk set if you upgraded to a newer version of the Operating System...

May I clarify that the iBook G4 and the question regarding it are not mine. They are from an email I received. Subsequently I posted the email and directed the owner of said iBook to this page.

I hope it has been helpful for him, but I have not heard from him since.

Oh well,
Udayan.
