I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this. I've been fighting it for a few weeks now, searching all over the internet looking for a solution.
My Mac Pro (details below) does not have built-in bluetooth. A USB bluetooth adaptor (IOGear GBU-421) works when I boot into 10.5, but it doesn't work when I boot into 10.6.8.
I've tried replacing the various bluetooth kext files with the kext files from the 10.5 boot drive.
I've tried upgrading the OS to 10.7.
Still not working.
Any ideas?
Here's a strange artifact:

...notice how at the top it says "Bluetooth power is off. To use Bluetooth, first you must turn it on." Yet, the box next to "On" is checked (and grayed out).
Also, see this:
