    I reset my IPad Air and reconnected my bluetooth keyboard to it. When I hit spacebar it returns to the start of the line instead of what the space bar normally does. Now with this problem, the keyboard is impossible to use and I now only use it as a stand. Any ideas on what I could try?

    2019 iMacs ... Bluetooth 5.0?

    I know the tech specs online say the new iMacs only support up to Bluetooth 4.2, but the actual machine appears to suggest Bluetooth 5.0 support (LMP version 9). How might we be able to directly test in the real world whether the new iMacs support Bluetooth 5.0 or not?
