Bluetooth Driver For Mac Os X 10.6.8

or if no bluetooth port is selected: "processing.app.SerialNotFoundException: Serial port 'COM1' not found. Did you select the right one from the Tools > Serial Port menu?"Using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on MacBook Pro, all software up to date via software update.

Bluetooth driver for mac os x 10.6.8

The Uno worked on my PPC G5 for the past year. The "solution" to "just use the G5" is no longer an option.Never had a "Network detected" dialog when plugging in Arduino Uno on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on MacBook Pro.Changed out 4 different USB cords, all tested in working order. All USB ports directly on the computer were tried.When connected the Uno green "ON" LED is on and "L" LED is flashing most likely due to "Blinking Light" (File > Examples > Basic > Blink) example currently running and was uploaded from the PPC G5.

Uno R3 version .0001 purchased from Sparkfun.com 12-2011. Stock UNO, no modifications, nothing connected but the USB cord.Pointless but I installed the FTDI drivers.The Uno is selected in Tools > Board

Uninstalled my usrobotics 56K USB Modem model 5637 from network preferences.I have turned off bluetooth in System Preferences. Tried all the above. I have turned on bluetooth in System Preferences. Tried all the above.

I've scoured the troubleshooting forums and , and googled and googled and googled. I really appreciate the input but no one has a solution. Like so many other Mac users on 10.6 to 10.7 with the loss of serial port choices, I'm disappointed that I can't use my Arduino. Perhaps an option would be to use a bluetooth/wifi interface but I feel for now I've lost the faith.

There are utilities that may help your diagnosis, perhaps the standard Utility->Console will show some meaningful error message when you connect the Arduino. USB Prober is a dedicated tool available from the Mac developer site, and you may find downloadable copies around. I'm saying this because apparently some people solved their "device not recognized" problems just by running a low-level usb analyzer (???). I would also get rid of the FTDI drivers, just in case.

Thanks for the input! You guys got me thinking, I have my laptop setup with 2 partitions, I use the work partition all the time and I use the maintenance partition for running disk utilities and such on the work partition. The maintenance partition only has the default and software updated 10.6.8 with some additional maintenance utilities installed. So I booted to the maintenance partition, installed IDE Arduino 1.0.3, plugged in the Uno board and viola, the new Network device Detected dialog popped up. I uploaded some tests and the Uno works fine & dandy. But all my stuff is on my work partition so this setup would suck. I rebooted back to the work partition, as per your suggestion checked the console messages after plugging in the board:

The board was still plugged in and BOOM! there was the "new network interface Detected" dialog. Hit Network Preferences, then Apply, booted up the IDE, Tools > Serial Port and I am good to go! Thanks!!!Just hope I didn't break something else.USB Drivers that I recall installing. I'm sure there were others.USRobotics zoom modemLogitech mouse drivers

I have the same problem, the MacBook Pro does not recognise any port for Arduino Uno R3.the arduino is for controlling a CNC machine, and the Atmega chip is "burned" with hex(grlb) file.tried connecting in windows (VMware) and no connection also. installed the ftdi drivers and still nothing works, don't know how to instal the USBprobe.really not an expert on this matter, just want make this work.anyone can help me with a simple solution

I gather from this forum that I never needed those drivers so I'd like to get rid of them. I'm 3 days in and still can't get IDE to show a port for UNO. The port did appear once, but then disappeared. I'm trying to go back to the beginning and recreate what I did to get it to appear.

My computer crashed while uploading to a Diecimila. When I rebooted the serial ports in the Arduino IDE were all bluetooth. I tried using the Processing sketch by Tom Igoe (Reference / Processing.org) to list all the available ports but it only found the bluetooth ones as well. Also, when I plugged the board in I did not get the "Network detected" dialogue box anymore.

Help!I am having the same problem with my serial port.I am using the arduino uno,Mac 10.6.8,and IDE 1.0.6.But I have a guess what the problem might be.I downloaded the library for "Make an arduino controlled robot",and ever since I have had the bluetooth serial port problem.Can anyone tell me if this is causing the problem and how to fix it!

in the terminal window and in the arduino IDE. Merely swapping the board to any another one of the seven, the tty.usbmodem1411 port returns in all places. All is well. Swapping in the third on, and only bluetooth. I have reflashed the third board, reset the wifi and other processor and the open-wrt all in my experiments to understand what has changed on the third board. It is consistent and does not change. All other boards work, and continue to do so.

Consider the possibility that you have a Chinese Arduino clone, which doesn't use FDTI, but a CH340G chip for the serial communication. In that case, you will need a special driver for Mac's to be able to talk to your Uno/Mega/Nano.

The 10.6.8 update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Snow Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac, including fixes that:

Boot Camp requires a Mac with an Intel processor. When you install Microsoft Windows on your Mac, Boot Camp Assistant automatically opens the Boot Camp installer, which installs the latest Windows support software (drivers). If that doesn't happen, or you experience any of the following issues while using Windows on your Mac, follow the steps in this article.

HoRNDIS is implemented as a kext, rather than as a user-space program that opens a TAP or TUN device; this means that it does not conflict with other TAP/TUN kexts that you might have installed (like OpenVPN, Tunnelblick, or Cisco VPN). The driver implements Microsoft's proprietary RNDIS protocol, which is the only protocol supported natively by Android devices; although Linux and Windows users have enjoyed native RNDIS drivers for years, Mac OS X supports only CDC Ethernet devices out of the box.1)

On the shoulders of giants, I stand. My vague thanks to Apple for having at least some IOKit sample code available (even though the last time it successfully built was 10.2.x); it was a decent start reading to understand how I might want to structure this. Substantial thanks to David Brownell, who wrote the rndis_host driver for Linux; some portions of HoRNDIS were ported over from that work. David Brownell also wrote the f_rndis driver that allows Android/Linux devices to behave like RNDIS devices; reading that source helped to understand why HoRNDIS wasn't working in the early stages. (Sadly, David Brownell passed away in April of 2011. Thanks for all of your hard work, David; may you rest in peace.)

Sure, the (hopefully) last version of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard was released yesterday. Yes, it addressed a laundry list of improvements to both networking and Mac OS X Lion readiness. But did you know that installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 might also improve graphic performance on your Mac?

Bill Fox over at MacsOnly.com ran benchmarks on both a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro. What he found was that the "newer graphics drivers in 10.6.8 not only eliminated any decline in speed from 10.6.5 through 10.6.7 but showed significantly improved OpenGL performance in Xbench and the game Halo for the ATI Radeon HD 5870 card" in the Mac Pro. His benchmarks also showed improved performance, although not as dramatic, with the Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics processor in the MacBook Pro.

We'd love to hear from any iMac, MacBook, MacBook Air or Mac mini owners who are able to run the same benchmarks on their favorite computers before and after 10.6.8.
