    Installed new RAM on my late 2012 21.5" i5 Intel iMac and (besides the fact that it's the worst design for any Mac for upgrading something simple like RAM) once reassembled, I no longer have Bluetooth. Bluetooth icon is grayed out with a black zig-zag through it and the status when clicked says...

    MacPro4,1 and bluetooth appears to be dying.

    I've got a MacPro4,1, and in the past month or so the Bluetooth seems to be having issues. They started with what I can only describe as 'graininess' when moving the mouse.

    [Review] Mpow bluetooth earbuds

    Disclaimer: I was contacted by the company to review these earbuds. After using them for two weeks I have one bad thing to say about them, so we'll start with that. This is a magnetic necklace design. That means that you can hang it around your neck and not loose it, because the back of the...

    Bluetooth headphones that charge via Lightning?

    I find it pretty convenient to charge my iPhone, iPad, trackpad and keyboard via a single lightning cable. However, that raises the question for me if there are any bluetooth headphones on the market that charge via lightning as well? It's not that I'm in a hurry to buy new ones - I love my...
