I have just bought a Daffodil Bluetooth USB Dongle. When I put it in a USB2 slot on my desktop (running Vista) it isn't recognised in the Bluetooth Devices page in the Control Panel, yet the Bluetooth symbol appears on the bottom taskbar, and the dongle itself flashes. If I need extra software to enable the dongle, can someone please tell me what I need and where to get it? Or am I missing a trick with regard to the settings on my pc? Thanks

The Bluetooth devices section will show bluetooth devices that are connected to the dongle. The dongle itself, is like an add-on card, not a BT device itself.
If it appears in the taskbar, then its ready to be used.

Thanks for your reply, vacunita.
I've never used one of these before - if I want to transfer music files from my pc to my iphone, what do I do? What software should I invoke? Should my iphone detect the dongle, because it isn't doing so, even though the dongle if flashing all the time! Thanks

I'm pretty sure that solution requires jailbreaking the phone. Whether you want to do that or not is up to you.
Basically iPhones don't have the required profile to send and recieve files over bluetooth natively.
There are however several Apps in the app sotre that will let you send and receive files over Wifi. Some also seem to support BT sharing. You are going to have try a few see which one works.
