Sour Apple
update: there is a simple workaround to get it working anyway which makes the fact that an official fix is still nowhere to be seen even stranger.
Caution, angry rant follows.
Most of the time Apple makes great stuff and acts like a reasonable company but sometimes Apple sucks just as bad as some other large companies. Bluetooth support in Apple OS X has been broken for a month now and it appears Apple is not doing anything to remedy the problem. Bluetooth worked fine in version 10.4.3 but broke for lots of Motorola, Palm and Nokia (as far as i can gather from the support forums) devices with 10.4.4. Since then version 10.4.5 has arrived which appearenlty fixed lots of stuff except bluetooth functionality. The fact that an OS can lose, to some people, vital functionality and stay that way for several weeks is to me unacceptable. The fact that there is no official answer to the questions people have or even to bug reoprts i and others have sent is even worse. For now it just doesn’t work and there is no way of knowing if Apple is even working on fixing this.
Allright, got it off my chest.
