Whilst the information contained within this guide may prove helpful for Apple Macintosh GPRS connectivity to the O2 network, it cannot however be guaranteed. Connectivity options There are 4 connectivity options open to the Mac user for GPRS access to O2 Mobile Web Bluetooth, Infrared, USB and Type II PCMCIA GPRS cards. This of course, is dependant on what your particular Mac computer supports. Infrared The latest Apple Powerbooks and iBooks do not have Infrared functionality built in, although if you have an earlier model, you may find that you do have Infrared functionality. Bluetooth Bluetooth is also supported on the latest Macs either built-in (if you have one of the latest models), or by way of a Bluetooth USB adapter . There are various Bluetooth USB adapters available, and they all offer similar functionality ie. plug and play without the need for USB drivers etc., but please check with the Bluetooth adapter manufacturer for any possible set-up instructions for your particular device. Whichever Bluetooth type that you have, this will only work in Mac OS X 10.2 or above, as Bluetooth functionality is built directly into the operating system itself. You will be unable to use Bluetooth if you are running classic Mac OS9 etc. For a connection to work over Bluetooth, you will need to create a secure link between your Mac and mobile device this is termed as pairing or bonding.
