try the standalone combo updater
Authored by: 77ric on Feb 25, '06 09:22:22AM

I had no connection issues between my eMac and my Nokia 6680 until I upgraded to 10.4.5. After the upgrade I couldn't send files to my eMac from my 6680, and indeed the above hint does work to get connections started but lets face it it's not great. After spending a couple of hours thinking about it, and realising that it was 10.4.5 that broke my Bluetooth (at first i thought my DBT-120 had went the way of the dodo) i remembered a very early hint about using the standalone combo updaters to fix issues that were caused by the software updater.

So I went to the Apple site and downloaded the 10.4.5 combo update, and installed that. When the update is complete and the installer asked me too restart my Mac, I force quit the installer and ran a permissions repair, and then restarted.
once restarted I used the bluetooth firmware updater in the Utilities folder and ran that, when that completed I restarted my eMac and i have my bluetooth back.
