Nothing Happens on Mac Pro Early 2009 #171

Hi, I have a Mac Pro 2009 with 10.10.3 and a ASUS BT400. To be sure internal Bluetooth will not conflict with that, I unplugged the cable from the internal BT.

I tried the master and the beta and when I do a System Diagnostic it says:

--- Hardware/OS checks --- Verifying Continuity status... OK. OS X reports Continuity as inactive Verifying Mac model reference... OK. Known compatible Mac Model detected: MacPro4,1 Verifying Mac board-id... OK. Short board id detected: Mac-F221BEC8 Verifying OS X version... OK. Mac OS X 10.10.3 (14D131) detected Verifying Wi-Fi hardware... NOT OK. No active AirPort card was detected. Continuity will not work. Verifying AWDL status... NOT OK. Your Wi-Fi card doesn't support AWDL, and therefore doesn't work with Continuity. Verifying Bluetooth hardware... OK. 3rd party Bluetooth hardware detected Verifying Bluetooth version... OK. Bluetooth 4.0 detected Verifying Bluetooth features... OK. Bluetooth features are currently not compatible with Continuity. This tool can try to fix this. Verifying Bluetooth firmware... OK. Bluetooth firmware version: v14 c4096

--- Modifications check --- Verifying OS kext protection... OK. Kext developer mode is already active Verifying kexts readability... OK. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth kexts were found and could be read Verifying Bluetooth blacklist status... OK. Your Mac model is not blacklisted Verifying Wi-Fi whitelist status... OK. Your board-id is not yet whitelisted. This tool can fix this. Verifying old Wi-Fi kext presence... OK. Legacy Brcm4331 Wi-Fi driver is present. This tool can fix this. Verifying legacy Wi-Fi card patch... OK. The legacy Wi-Fi patch is not present. This tool can fix this. "Verifying BT4 dongles compatibility... OK. Compatibility with BT4 USB dongles is not enabled, this tool can fix this if a dongle is plugged in" <---- THIS LINE SAYS IT CAN ENABLE IT

But every time I try to Activate, I got this error:

--- OS X Continuity Activation Tool 2.0.1 beta --- by dokterdok

--- Initiating system compatibility check ---

Verifying Mac model reference... OK Verifying Mac board-id... OK Verifying OS X version... OK Verifying Wi-Fi hardware... NOT OK. No active AirPort card was detected. Continuity will not work. Aborting.

Press any key to go back to the main menu...

So it stops and nothing changes. What can I do?

Thank you!

I tried to force installation using -f, and unplug/replug the dongle on many different port. Nothing changes. The bluetooth is working ok, here is the System Information:

Tks.

The issue is with your Wi-Fi. Continuity works with a combination of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so just having compatible Bluetooth hardware won't cut it. Make sure you have compatible Broadcom based Wi-Fi hardware and you should be good to go.
