Perfect to help extend a speaker

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a bluetooth speaker that I use during presentations but it doesn't always start right away and some of the narrative gets lost. I needed a longer cable to be able to "hard wire" it to the laptop. This cable works perfectly.

I had a hard drive crash and decided not to re-download windows 10. It was well worth the money to purchase the software. Installation was a breeze although it did take about 2 hours to get it all done, still, a lot better than the download.

Kind of bulky but good pictures
on June 12, 2015
Posted by: scantool
from Columbus, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have always liked Nikon cameras. When I bought this one I figured it would be no different than previous Nikon cameras I had purchased in the passed. It felt good in the store but when I used it for a longer period of time it became bulky and heavy. I also don't like how long it takes for the flash to charge. All in all a good camera but not what I was expecting from Nikon.

Nice sound but glitchy
on February 6, 2015
Posted by: scantool
from Columbus, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use a bluetooth speaker for my presentations and I thought this one would be great. It has great sound and is really loud for it's size. The only problem I have is that after a few minutes of no use the speaker shuts down. When I contacted Sony they told me it does that to conserve battery power. I told them it does it even when plugged in and they told me that was normal. As long as there is music or something going through it there isn't a problem. I returned this to Best Buy. If you are just going to use it for music or movies it will be great.

I travel a lot and was really tired of carrying the bigger HDMI cables. I hook up to a projector and do presentations all of the time. This cable is light and easy to use. It is just the right size for me.

I have a Sony Experia tablet that I just love. The problem was that it only came with 16GB of storage. I bought this card to add storage and it works great. Transferring files back and forth is quick and easy and even running files from the card works well.

Upgrade your headphones from wired anchors to wireless cones with this Insignia Bluetooth headphone adapter. It includes a built-in mic with touch controls and provides a range of 30 feet and up to 9 hours of playtime. Connect easily with one-touch pairing and enjoy music when on the go with this Insignia Bluetooth headphone adapter.
 

Where can I find Windows 7 drivers for this product? My Rocketfish bluetooth usb adapter finds it, and starts to connect to it, but fails at the "installing drivers" stage. I looked on the Insignia web site, but could not find the product there.

Are you running windows 7 or windows 10. If you are in windows 10 try installing it and when it isn't successful just click ok and then wait. a pop up screen will come up and ask if this device installed correctly. just say no and it will ask if you would like to try and run it in an earlier version of windows. Just follow the prompts and you can choose which windows you want to run it in.

If you are running windows 7 copy the error message into your browser and search for that message. I hope this helps

will this work for all in one desktop pc

It all depends. You should probably pull your system apart and see what is inside it. I have had a couple of all in one pc's that actually used laptop memory and not desktop memory. there really isn't a way to tell unless you physically open it up and look.

If I have 4 GB ram already installed and I buy this 8gb will it give me 12 gigs total

With 2 expansion slots do they have to be the same size?
No they do not have to be the same size. It does help if they are the same speed though. The other thing to look at is how much RAM will your PC support. depending on how old it is some may only recognize 8GB of RAM.

Everything is connected properly from the mac to the tv/hdmi. Why isn't the tv picking the signal?

Sometimes you have to turn the TV off then with everything hooked up turn it back on and it should automatically find it. If that doesn't work then you will need to go into the settings menu of the tv and manually select it. Are you running this thru a sound bar? That can also have an effect on it.

Hit the road with this GPS that features a 5" widescreen touch-screen display that provides a clear view and preloaded base map coverage of the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico to help you arrive at your destination.
 

Do Garmin GPS units require a data plan or some kind of monthly fee in order to give turn-by-turn directions or to recalculate the route?

no. turn by turn is included with the unit. If you are not getting that then you may have to go to the settings of the GPS and turn it on. I have owned several Garmin units and have never had an issue with turn by turn directions. The same goes for recalculating the route.
