Apple releases Bluetooth Firmware Update for Mac OS X 10.4.3
Apple has released the Bluetooth Firmware Update 1.2, which the company cryptically states "improves Bluetooth performance and reliability issues."
When the update package is downloaded, the Bluetooth Firmware Updater application will be launched. Follow the on screen directions to update your Bluetooth Firmware.
The Bluetooth Firmware Updater supports D-Link USB Adapters and Apple internal Bluetooth modules on the following CPUs:
- iMac G4 (Gooseneck)
- 12" Titanium PowerBook
- 15" Titanium PowerBook
- iMac G5
- Mac Mini
The new release is available through Software Update or as a 1.5 MB standalone download.
There is some confusion over this release, as Apple already posted a Bluetooth Firmware Updater version 1.2 for Mac OS X 10.3.6 in late 2004.
If you are having any problems with Bluetooth Firmware Update 1.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.3, please let us know.

the same thing. Attempting to apply the update on my 12" Aluminum PB gives
the message that "no update is needed".
It's either a typo, or the update is for a yet-to-be-announced PB.

Update" and "Looking for Hardware to Update" it just goes idle. I have to restart
to get bluetooth up and running again. And then the update shows up again in
Software Update!
