Things You'll Need:
- Original Bluetooth Adapter Program CD
- USB 2.0 Port
-
Step 1
Ensure your adapter is plugged into an appropriate port. All modern Bluetooth adapters need a Bluetooth 2.0 (high-speed) port in order to function correctly. If you have a computer built after 2007, then all of your ports should conform to this standard. If your computer was built before then, consult your owner's manual to find if (and where) your computer's Bluetooth 2.0 ports are.
-
Step 2
Reinstall your Bluetooth software. If this is the first time you are using your Bluetooth adapter and you can't seem to get anything to sync, there may have been an error with your software. Go to your computer's uninstall utility and then reinstall the program using the CD that was bundled with your Bluetooth adapter.
-
Step 3
Disconnect currently synced devices and reconnect. If your Bluetooth adapter won't stop attempting to sync with a device, or flat out refuses connection, go into your Bluetooth management utility and sever all connections. Then restart your computer and try to sync your devices again.
-
Step 4
Thin your list of connected devices. Most Bluetooth adapters have a limit of three to four devices that can be synced at a time. Even though many adapters can technically handle more, the signals will start to get muddled if more than four devices are synced, so try and cut back on your synced devices if you have more than four connected.
