    iM 4,1-14,4 Where are my Bluetooth Bros? Got a real doozy for you...

    My iMac 2011 E2428 is now upgraded with 32gb and i72600s. I decided to try out OCLP and run Sequoia, which *might* be my issue... I picked up a refurbished magic keyboard and mouse. I can connect both to the iMac via BT and they both show as connected. Mouse works fine. Keyboard on the other...

    Bluetooth Blues By Siri

    I've been having some trouble with Siri lately. Perhaps it's my pronunciation, but I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, so I generally figure that I speak a fairly standard form of English. Yesterday morning I was brewing coffee so I said to the Siri that lives in a HomePod...

    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. When I stop typing and want to continue writing or just use a shortcut (Cmd+C, Cmd+T, or any other), the keyboard stops responding. It's annoying. Even when writing this post, I...

    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...

    Hi. I recently purchased an old iMac from late 2014 to use for school work and media consumption.

    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...

    17.4 wrecked Bluetooth streaming

    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...
