http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2339.html - recalibrate battery
Intel notebooks, which includes all MacBooks and MacBook Pros, use the following method of calibration: [1]

Plug in the power adapter and fully charge your laptop's battery until the light ring or LED on the power adapter plug changes to green and the onscreen meter in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.
Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for at least two hours. You may use your computer during this time as long as the adapter is plugged in.
Disconnect the power adapter with the computer still on and start running the computer off battery power. You may use your computer during this time. When your battery gets low, you will see the low battery warning dialogue on the screen.
Continue to keep your computer on until it goes to sleep. Save all your work and close all applications when the battery gets very low, before the computer goes to sleep.
Turn off the computer or allow it to sleep for five hours or more.
Connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again.
Battery calibration will help your computer display accurate information, and will give you an accurate picture of your battery's relative health and ability to hold a charge. If you believe that your battery is not holding a sufficient charge, perform a calibration first, and then reexamine your battery's health.

When establishing bluetooth connection

1. On your BlackBerry screen select the “Set Up Bluetooth” icon. This will automatically start a search for other Bluetooth devices, on the train I found about 10 devices!
2. On your Mac go to System preferences and click the Bluetooth icon.
3. On the Setting tab I turned on “Discoverable” just so my phone could see, not sure if its necessary but if gave confirmation that the devices could see each other while I was trouble shooting.
4. Next click the Devices tab and click “Set Up New Device”. This will start the “Bluetooth Setup Assistant” that walks you through finding your BlackBerry. For device type select “Mobile Phone”.
5. It will now search all around you for mobile phones. Again, being on a train it found a bunch of them. My BlackBerry didn’t have a nice friendly name so it just showed up as a Mac Address like this “00:1C:CF:8C:C6:A1″ as did many others. To find your phones Bluetooth Mac address just click you phones menu button while you’re in the “Set Up Bluetooth” application. Select “Option”. The Bluetooth address is list as “Device Address”.
6. Now back on your Mac Laptop look for your Device Address in the list of found. Select your device address and click Continue.
7. Now the Setup Assistant will connect to your BlackBerry. Once there is a hand shake you can click continue and a Passkey will appear on the screen. Its an 8 digit string. if you look on you BlackBerry it is now asking you to enter this string.
8. Now you have connect you devices, next the Setup assistant will ask you what services you want to Setup. I only selected “Access the Internet with your phone’s data connection” since I have no need to share address books.
9. Now you will see a screen asking you to configure your internet connection. You can leave the Username and Password blank. For the Phone Number enter this string “*99**1#”. For the Modem script I’ve heard of custom ones for the 8830, but I just selected “Sprint PCS Vision”. Select both the Check boxes at the bottom, it’s just easier to deal with when you have the Bluetooth and Modem icon in your menu bar.
10. Click continue and ou will be given a congratulation screen indicating that eveythng is now setup up successfully.
11. Now click the little phone icon in your menu bar and the drop down should have the option to connect. Select connect and with any luck a little “time online” indicator will show up beside it and your online!


Under PPP options in the networking section of system preferences under PPP, turn off PPP echo packets and TCP header compression.

If you re pair the computer with your BT phone, you will need to redo this as it will reset by default.

This is the prinicple reason why you will get diconnects after a few minutes of second on a otherwise good connection.
