Re: Unable to pair wy Wii remote (RVL-CNT-01)

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
My friend's Mac is an Intel. I believe it is a Mac Pro but I do not know all the stats on it. I assume it is running the most recent updates. He is the system administrator for the College of Architecture I am in and should be on top of things like that. I do not get any errors in console when I am running the connection wizard. (I was using the bluetooth System Preferences to add and delete the device because I assumed that was the wizard you were talking about in the FAQ. That was my fault.) The device address is 00-19-fd-ca-3d-5a. It appears as "Connected:" and "Configured:" while the wizard is running, but the "Paired:" status says No. When Remote Buddy is not running "Connected:" changes to No. If I take out the batteries while it is attempting to pair, the Remote Buddy bezel pops up and says "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 disconnected". I have also tried connecting the remote with the classic controller attached and have had the same results. 
One more thing, though I doubt how helpful it will be. Using iStumbler to monitor bluetooth and log activity during the pairing process, I get this:

The change to a single item is when I turned off my bluetooth mouse to see what would happen. If I turn the mouse back on it returns to two items. The "Samples" column while the wizard is attempting to pair with the Wiimote ranges from about 50-70 the vendor that is displayed is 00-19-FD Paired is No, Linked is Yes, Favorite is No. Maybe that could help some... 
Also, should I be emailing directly or should I be posting in this forum? If I should be posting, a simple usability feature I would like to request is a link in the reply emails that get generated from forum posts so that users do not have to navigate all the way back here...
