Sometimes the BT dongle needs to be on an external hub. Does your monitor have a USB hub "in" it? (That's where I have mine now since I have my systems connected to my monitor via a KVM switch, and I can share the BT among multiple systems.) If not, try to get an inexpensive power USB hub.GSUS969 said:
I have the same BT dongle that you listed in your OP and it is connected to my monitor's hub. This hub gets power while the pc is sleeping because I can use my wireless logitech mouse that has a proprietary logitech wireless dongle to wake the pc. I have also tried moving the BT dongle to other USB plugs on the computer to no avail. I have actually ordered a different BT dongle to see if it makes any difference. I'll keep scouring the forums and google for answers in the meantime. If you have any other thoughts or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!<blush>Thank you.
I, too, have a Logitech keyboard (K760 Solar Mac) using the Logitech Unifying receiver connected to the monitor's hub. I use this keyboard to get into the BIOS and, when the BT becomes cranky, after an OS X update. But, 99% of the time, the BT works when presented with the login screen upon boot up and awaking from sleep. I for the life of me don't understand why two people use the same BT USB dongle on the same motherboard, and it works for one person, but not the other. Bottom-line: don't give up as something will click (yes, pun intended).
You're welcome. If you got the IOGear BT 4.0 version (GBU521) in the tonymacx86 Buyer's Guide, be advised that it will only work with the newer version of operating systems since it's a BT 4.0 vs. a BT 2.0. But, unless you're working with older OS's, you won't have to worry.
