I was going to suggest iogear. I bought a bluetooth dongle from them a while back and no problem at all. Works with mac right out of the package. As for airplay and airdrop, I think you might need Yosemite for that if you want to do it between mac and iPhone, iPad etc, your Mac has to be 2012 or later. I also read elsewhere that if you plug in a USB bluetooth dongle, the Mac Pro will automatically recognize it and start using it. I'm just hoping for a way to verify that the Mac is actually doing this (using the dongle, not the internal bluetooth). I don't know why the mid 2012 Mac pro doesn't work. I've never used airdrop before. I'm just going by what Apple says here. If you want to transfer files from one Mac to another, then if you have a mac Pro desktop from 2009 with airport card or Mid 2010, you're in luck, if you want to transfer stuff from iphone to Mac Pro, probably need newer Mac pro. As for airplay, it says 2012 for that, at least out of the box. There are a few apps for older Mac pro, such as AirParrot, but that's about the only way I can see that happening. As for airdrop between your mac pro and an iPhone, yeah, it's possible, but it'll take some finding out, which I'll leave up to you. Let's just say these things aren't going to work right out of the box. They are going to need some help if you want 'em to work at all good luck JB. I was going to suggest iogear.

I'm presuming you've done this yourself before, right?, in either a 2008 Mac Pro tower or 2009 one? I don't mean to brag, but I have done it myself before on a 2008 and 2009 Mac Pro, and trust me, it's a bear to do. If you have patience (and lots of it) plus a magnetized screwdriver and good manual dexterity, and you know which antenna cable goes to which socket, it's possible, but again, it's a pain to do. Maybe someone isn't comfortable opening up their Mac pro. Maybe someone wants something that's simple. The drive will now be formatted for use by Windows systems. There will be no space wasted by protected Mac partitions. Some Mac functions require an HFS+ formatted drive. What does a mac external hard drive look like. The best ways to format an external drive for Windows and Mac Compare the different options for formatting an external hard drive to work with Windows and Mac. And, no: the answer isn't always FAT32. Plug n' play and 'just works' with a minimum of fuss and effort maybe not. Of course I might be wrong.it must be simple to install JB. Many thanks for all your replies. I had looked up about the Airport card, but I was put off by the fact that (a) nowadays you can only find pre-used ones and (b) I had read that the three tiny wires were an absolute pig to locate and deal with! It's not a case of not wanting to open it up, Nestmac, just not wanting to do a very fiddly job with fingers like oversized bananas! П˜‰ I've since found a USB solution by Newertech which I'm going to try. If that doesn't work I will look at the Macvidcards solution (although they are all currently out of stock and there is still the issue of installation to address). I realise that it probably won't be seamless and the limitations of the hard/software, but for what I'm doing, anything has to be easier than continually transferring files manually between my Mac Pro and iMac via a USB stick! Hmmmm.if that's all you want to do is transfer files and they're on the same network?? Maybe dropbox?
