    Bluetooth issues and more

    After I updated to the latest version of MacOS Sequoia, my Mac is behaving completely crazy. 1. When I start it the startup sound doesn't come and the Mac boots up into some kind of recovery system and asks me to connect Bluetooth accessories. From here I can restart and be lucky that it starts...

    Bluetooth issue - Keychron V1 Max keyboard freezes on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1

    After upgrading to macOS Sequoia 15.0.1, my Keychron V1 Max keyboard connected via Bluetooth freezes many times daily.

    Sequoia Bluetooth issues, same as on Ventura

    Hi All, Since the update to Sequoia I've been noticing that I'm experiencing an issue which was fixed in Sonoma. I use an M1 Air 16gb alongside a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (Keychron q5 pro and MX Master 3S) This all works fine and as expected when only these two devices are in use...

    Converting an old printer to Bluetooth

    I bought a Brother Bluetooth printer and returned it because it was awful (I mean it was really, Really, bad at wireless printing). But my old HP printer (over a decade old) still works wonderfully (I think it’s a 1006 —not wireless). I’m wondering if it’s possible to plug a USB Bluetooth...

    This is the 1st iOS update that has ever introduced Bluetooth streaming issues for me in…at least 10 years. Both AirPod Pro 2s and my car. Forgetting and re-adding doesn’t fix. iPhone 15 Pro. Audio will drop every few minutes and also static. Anyone else seeing this?

    Is bluetooth reliable for you? What hardware are you using?

    I started using MacOS since Sierra. The entire time I've had trouble various trouble with bluetooth. I'm using a Microsoft mouse right now, and I often have to sudo pkill bluetoothd every morning to get it to connect. It's like this on Montrey, and I don't expect it to get better after all these...

    Hidden device possibilities

    Hello Mac friends, I am not an expert by ANY means, so I apologize in advance for how uneducated this will sound. I'm just a person with suspicions of being hacked looking for help...(by someone who I lived with and had access and personal details enough to do so). I am not looking for...

    Speaker phone

    Has anyone else noticed that one of the recent updates killed the ability to tell Siri to make a call on speaker phone? I don’t use the feature daily so I’m not sure if it was one of the last 16 point updates or 17. Also, anybody else think a long press on the audio button during a call should...
