Bluetooth Apple Keyboard and Bluetooth.Plists
Connecting a USB BlueTooth Belkin model F8T012 to a Dual 2.7 Ghz Power PC G5 running 10.5.8
With a Apple wireless Keyboard.
(takes two batteries- the new one 2011 takes three batteries. This keyboard will not work on Power Pc I am told by Apple staff.)
Has anyone ever found a permanent solution to a problem I am having.
Each morning I start the G5 the keyboard is listed as paired. Other times the keyboard is not seen.
keyboard paired
Either way the keyboard does not function even when it is seen as in the image above.
I then need to delete the wireless setting in System Preferences.
Then complete the paring task.
Bluetooth. plist
The above image I get after I deleted the following.
1:Boot-Lib-Pref-com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Boot-Lib-Pref-com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
2:ByHost-com.apple.Bluetooth.001124da97a4.plist
ByHost-com.apple.Bluetooth.001124da97a4.plist
3:com.apple.BluetoothFileExchange.plist (Boot/Lib/Pref/ByHost)
com.apple.BluetoothFileExchange.plist
If I hang around before typing in the serial number to complete the bluetooth connection I do get this I find.
Bluetooth.plist
It seems to find my old settings.
Which was the D-link blue tooth which work find for one year.
So when this died I replaced it with the BlueTooth Belkin model F8T012 and the above problem happened.
I have also tried the following.
1: Logging out deleting the above – Same problems occurred.
2: Alt/Apple P and R resetting pram. Still same problem occurred.
3: Unplugging mac from mains over night and taking batteries out of key board.
Before I did this i deleted the setting in bluetooth under system preferences and deleted all the bluetooth.plists I mention above.
Same problem occurred.
I have taken the wireless keyboard into a Can com in Brighton very helpful person repeated the same problem on an old Power pc.
I have managed to connect with a modern iMac in store the big Apple mac store in Brighton.
And at home with Apple MacBook – Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz – 13.3″
So my conclusion is of two areas.
1: D-link 120 USB will work without problem.
2: re install the operating system from 10.4 and then see if the Apple Keyboard and Bluetooth work and restart and work again.
If so update and see what happens.
As I feel somewhere inside the OS is a reference to my old settings for the D -link and this is why Rob’s Keyboard comes up after the second restart.
It seems to re jig itself.
If you have a solution or an idea that has work for you post them here please.
Last thought hold on to the old keyboard with the cable plug and play dudes

Jango Radio – More Apps on PS Express – Art Studio – Web Grader – Imovie.
I have used this App Jango Radio for a few days now.
I connected the said Itouch to my main amplifier in the front room with some big speakers and over all i am impressed with the quality.
I also removed my phono jack from my computer and connected straight into the Itouch and play straight through these speakers.
For a mobile music center this is a must app, when I used apps like Spotify your be used to the adds being played. With Jango Radio your not have adverts.
The choices available are the normal method of selection. But I did like on the Itouch you can add artists with a Thumbs up icon which will then add more from this artist to be played if you choose to do so.

Wide Angle Lens for Itouch – 808 key ring
A friend sent me an wide angle lens for my 808 key ring camera.
But before I fit the wide angle lens to the 808 key ring.
I tried it on a Itouch ipod.
Here are two images to give you an idea. Shot in bad light and in the same position (no tripod) hand held.
Image 2 with wide angle lens.
Camera parts come in two lens. One wide angle and one macro. The big lump in this image is the 808 key ring camera.
Which is small in height so the attachment of the wide angle lens here is going to be a bit tricky.
The wide angle lens is magnetic and I am going to be using this camera for some paragliding where it be un protected during the flight.
Any suggestions from people on how they fixed the wide angle lens as a permeant fixture is welcome.
Video of 808 HD camera review in action from a paraglider
I have used the 808 HD camera to film from a paraglider, the results are good.
This is my review of the 808 Micro HD camera of which the manual that came with the product calls the “HD 720 P Mini DV. If you do a web search it comes back with the “Item title: 808HD Lens Car Keychain Camera DV #11 Jumbo V3 1280×720″.
First off I was looking for a device to film in extreme environments. So if I had loads of money to throw at the idea I would be using far better kit with better results, but I am not and part of that reason is down to the fact that weight and size is very important to me.
You see I needed a method of filming a paraglider flight from launch to landing. Excessive weight on a paraglider wing throws up major problems on landings as the glider is flared and the glider drops behind you onto the ground. For those of you who are not familiar with “Paragliding” click on this link http://www.freeflightbrighton.co.uk
The camera will have to handle the “shocks” of lifting the glider during take-off and bringing the glider down to the ground when landing. You might get away with using an iTouch but even this device has enough weight to distort the glider and be damaged on impact with the ground whereas a lightweight mini cam like the 808 Micro HD has minimal effect on the glider and low impact.
So when my student Simon came up with the idea of using the 808 Micro HD for filming in flight I was a little suspicious with the end results. Normally I film using a large camera on a tripod shooting with a DVD Pal on tape or with a camera shooting RAW formats and always looking for quality.
So how would this little baby handle? Overall I have been pleased with the unit and have given it a 6 out of 10. The quality came out fine for what I wished to use the item for which is my paragliding web site http://www.freeflightbrighton.co.uk. Creating training videos for my students.
I also wished something that was easy to start recording and not get in the way with the flying. Normally I have to mess around with mono poles and being extremely careful not to damage the camera.
So I have created some test clips which I can share with you and any feedback is welcome.
If your into video editing, as I am, with Final Cut Pro the image size of 1280 by 720 is not a bad size to play with and the format H.264 will run in Final Cut without any problems. So I have actually been able to play the video without the need to render the file. Which has been the case with many other HD Cams where I have to run programs like MPEG Streamclip for an hour or so to render out to a big fat raw file so I can edit in Final Cut Pro?
If I was to compare the 808 Micro HD with the iTtouch which also generates to H.264 format I would say the quality is better on the iTouch which is probably down to the quality of lens. Both have small pin holes sizes which will reduce the overall quality.
So if you are after a better quality video then “Go Pro” would be a better choice but you are not going to be able to loop the “Go Pro” through the line of the glider without additional protection.
Click the image to watch the show and I hope to get some feed back please.
Final Cut Pro 808 HD
I have taken a file from the 808 HD key ring camera as a video and dropped it into the time line of Final Cut pro and it needed no rendering. How cool and useful is that.

Mr Donut City
I took the Donut on Brighton sea front with my camera and then animated this in After Effects.
I first pen tooled out the images and then went with the flow of my idea which I drafted out in my head and applied to paper by sketching the ideas out.
