How does this work? I insert the adapter into the explore, then design on my laptop (I don't have an ipad) and the machine will cut wirelessly?

If your computer isn't Bluetooth ready you will have to buy a USB Bluetooth adapter also. I purchased mine on Amazon for under $7.00. I inserted the Bluetooth adapter in the cricut explore and the USB adapter in my computers USB port and the computer loaded the drivers for both. After that you turn on your Cricut Explore and when you push go it will show your Bluetooth connection and will cut wirelessly. It was well worth the money not to have the cord connected everytime I cut something. Hope this was helpful.

You might want to try and remove the program and then reinstall it. Making sure that the adapter is not pluged in. If that does not work then you may need to contact the tech for the computer and not the wireless adapter.

I can not speak about a lap top. But, I used the adapter on my iPad and camera batteries (Sony and canon). They are still working fne.

if you use windows, the included wifi works fine. if you are building a "hacintosh" you need an external adapter.

I think the bluetooth is referring to how the nano USB receiver finds the mouse. Meanng it is wireless. There is no button I can see that would allow you to pair this with another device without the dongle. But that is a really small receiver! I even tried to see if my iPad could see the mouse with the Bluetooth on. Nope. My laptop does not have Bluetooth to test this.

Mine came with an adapter piece for mini ipad and it works just fine. Maybe you tossed the piece away accidentally, will not work without it!

Yes, I do. It's worked with every laptop and ipad I've tried it with so far.

This may sound crazy, but I've read it elsewhere & found it to be true; don't use one. I started having issues so I looked for solutions online. After reading up in several locations I figured out that I had to re-solder a connection & stop using the AC adapter. Ever since, it's been running perfect (until the batteries in the keyboard die that is). It gets it's power from my laptop & I don't have to worry about plugging it in! Hope that helps, good luck!

You probably already tried this, add power to the adapter. it only works when it has power.

Users will be able to wirelessly cut from an iPad up to 30 feet away. The Make It Now app requires iOS 7 or later and is compatible with iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad Air and iPad Mini. Users can wirelessly cut from a desktop computer or laptop with Bluetooth functionality from up to 15 feet (distance may vary based on PC or Mac).

I don't have the wired one, I have the wireless one, but the piece needs to be plugged into the iPad. I will assume the wired one needs to be plugged in as well

You need to go to their website and download the proper drivers, as well as following the manual to install the software (WORD FOR WORD). I would assume it is not compatible with your iPad. Try using your laptop (if you have one).

I bought mine more than a year ago and didn't like how it worked in Windows (I've updated the software since). But when I saw it in my bag and plugged it into my new Chromebook 2 - it worked. It worked as a USB-to-Ethernet adapter (smaller than the Apple adapter I've been using and the same price). It worked as a wireless USB adapter. It worked as an AP that grabbed my wireless network as it's Internet source. Everything I tried worked with the WL-330NUL and the Chromebook 2. Now I'm curious if it works with my old Chromebook. Well worth the price and the tiny space in your bag.

I didn't research it too much, but that is what I determined to be the difference, connect Apple TV (anyways), then you don't need the wireless adapter...my Smart TV also has wireless that doesn't get used...

Not used it on a laptop, just on the iPad. On an iPad I think it works great! I like the hardness of its tip, compare to other stylus that I consider to soft.

I have the standard Apple Bluetooth keyboard and it seems to work fine. I do not believe iPads are meant to use the mouse. When you use the keyboard with an iPad you have to get used to doing some things that you'd normally do with the mouse with a finger on the screen. Takes some getting used to, but it works. I don't see the iPad as an exact replacement for a laptop, but a set-up that can stand in for one occasionally. In any case, you might want to double-check my answer on the mouse -- I could be wrong, but as far as I know you can't use it. Good luck!

To use it you simply plug it into an available USB port on your keyboard (as I do on my Apple keyboard) or somewhere nearby. Mine works like a charm. Best mouse I've ever had, and I have had many, most of them Kensingtons. All the best.
