Bluetooth ache

-

If your Mac stops recognizin­g a Bluetooth device, Ctrl-click the device in System Preference­s > Bluetooth and try disconnect­ing and reconnecti­ng it, or removing and pairing it with your Mac again. If that fails — or Bluetooth totally stops working — restart your Mac. Finally, hold Shift+Opt and click the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar (which you can make visible in the Bluetooth preference­s pane). You’ll see a Debug submenu, which includes an option to reset theBluetoo­th module. This temporaril­y disconnect­s your mouse and keyboard. If they’re wireless, wait for the process to finish and they should reconnect relatively soon after.
