bluetooth

Hi. I recently purchased an old iMac from late 2014 to use for school work and media consumption. Now all was going great until the bluetooth on both the Magic Keyboard and Mouse started acting strangely. They would randomly disconnect and reconnect, only for much of their "apple" functionality...

Hello, My internal SDD failed last weekend and I've had a lot of issues getting my iMac 2015 up and running using an external SDD, coming across quite a few issues with this model that I didn't previously have. The last remaining issue I have - Bluetooth takes around 10 minutes after login to...

I have a problem with my 2015 MacBook Pro. Every time I wake up from sleep mode, Bluetooth does not work. AirPods and other devices (such as the speaker) do not connect. All Handoff functions also do not work: copy and paste from iPhone, HotSpot, AirDrop, Handoff. Interestingly, unlocking the...

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?

Does anyone know of a reliable solution for controlling audio on an iPhone in CarPlay? My van lacks dedicated FWD/REW buttons on the steering wheel. I picked up a bluetooth media button and it works...sometimes. It works great if the iPhone display is on, but once it turns off, it can take...

Just noticed today that when connecting the iPhone to a newly acquired, CarPlay-equipped work vehicle that Google’s turn by turn navigation (TBTN) isn’t coming through my AirPods Pro (APP), whilst Spotify plays music. Phone’s connected via USB, with Bluetooth disabled in the car (it was...

After having finally succeeded in installing Monterey under OC's martin lo V0.9.7, and installing the new wifi/bluetooth card, everything works well under BigSur, the wifi displays the new standard (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) and the bluetooth standard 4.2. I applied the changes requested by martin lo...

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...

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...

I have a 2011 Chevy Volt that has a USB connection for iPods and Bluetooth for phone calls but not for audio. I’ve seen some wireless CarPlay adapters out there which got me thinking: is there a device I could plug into the car’s USB port which would wirelessly connect (by Bluetooth or whatever)...

My mom recently upgraded to the M2 mac mini in December 2023. I'd been setting it up with my wired razer mouse and a bluetooth Apple keyboard, and everything was running smoothly until I decided to use my bluetooth Apple mouse instead of my razer mouse. Then weird stuff started happening. After...

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...

Hello! I've got an Apple Studio Display along with a work MacBook Pro and a personal MacBook Air. I'd like to be able to easily switch between using the two laptops and have my keyboard and mouse switch as well. I'm happy to just move the ASD's cable from one to the other when I want to do this...

Hello Apple friends. This is on a Late 2015 5K iMac: I dual boot to Windows for diagnostics and to rest with games as leisure on sundays (after mass and charity work). I have a mechanical keyboard for Windows (Boot Camp) gaming (has numpad for games like GTA 5 and RPGs- the next upgrade would...

Are the phones THAT susceptible to unauthorized Bluetooth access? I read some “fixes” in various threads and the overwhelming recommendation is to turn off Bluetooth—goodbye watch and AirPods...

Hello again everyone. I'm back to the place where people are nice, and actually helpful. Now I know this may not be the best place to put this thread, so please tell me if it needs to be moved, and where the best place for this query is :) I updated two of my macs yesterday to sonoma since...

Several issues I've seen so far: Bluetooth not consistently connecting to other devices. Most notably, when I try to connect my phone to my 2019 MacBook Pro I get an error on the phone that it's "not supported." The iOS 17 feature (which was working as intended on earlier betas) where the...

Hi, I recently went on a road trip on a rented car, I connected my Iphone running IOS 16 using bluetooth (not apple car play), i dont remember if i synced the contacts with the car stereo or not. The car is already returned , but I wanted to check if my contacts were synced or not to it? I...

Hi Guys I have MacPro Mid 2010 with Sapphire Pulse RX580 8GB (and original Nvidia GT120). I have a problem with bluetooth when RX580 is plugged in - it works fine when GT120 is plugged in. It shows all the time OFF and unable to turn it on. Any ideas? OS Monterey 12.6.7
