    Dead Apple A1016 Bluetooth Keyboard. Is there a way to revive it?

    The title might be a bit misleading, but let me explain. Two months ago, a friend of mine gave me an Apple A1016 keyboard, that he got for 5€. I couldn't pair it with anything at first, but I soon found out that I have to type in a "secret" PIN (0000 in my case), before I enter the pairing...

    Bluetooth not working

    One of my colleagues has a Mac Mini 2018. I am not in IT but our company doesn't have IT support and because I seemingly know more than most about computers most issues fall to me. I can solve most but this has stumped me. Bluetooth had been working absolutely fine, but has recently stopped...

    macOS 12.4 and bluetooth problems

    MacOS 12.4 has made the reliability of m Apple Wireless Keyboard and Trackpad much worse. I had almost no problems with my 2015 MBP and first/second gen keyboard and trackpad (clamshell mode). The Apple 2021 14" MBP M1 Max and new wireless keyboard and trackpad were far less reliable, with a...

    Monterey and Bluetooth problems with DualShock 4 on GeForceNOW

    Hello I’ve been a user of GeforceNow for a long time, mostly on Big Sur and Catalina, with my DualShock 4, with no issues. Everything just worked, the Bluetooth connection with the controller was reliable, and if some day were issues, those were with the service, not with the controller...

    2021 wireless keyboard and trackpad far worse than 2015

    For years I used the Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad with my 2015 MBP (15" and 13") in clamshell mode. These I think were first gen but not sure - they were what Apple was selling in 2015. Now I have had several months with a 2021 MBP 14 Max with the current wireless keyboard (non finger...

    Bluetooth earbuds at 50% volume on reconnect?

    I'm not sure if Apple AirPods do this, but whenever I reconnect (not pair) my various Bluetooth Samsung Galaxy Buds (Live, Plus etc.) they always go to 50% volume. That's way too loud for me; so I have to be careful to adjust volume down before putting them in my ears. Now that I think about it...

    Mac Mini bluetooth issues fixed in Mac Studio?

    The rumors suggested the Mac Studio would have a plexi glass top for better signal strength. Turned out it's the same all body aluminum. So I'm wondering if the weak bluetooth signal issues that have plagued the Mac Mini will be fixed in this new form factor? Issues I personally have with the...

    Catch 22 - Can’t log on to iMac

    Hi, I stupidly turned off Bluetooth on my iMac and then restarted it the machine. The problem is I only have a Bluetooth keyboard and don’t have easy access to a wired keyboard, so I can’t get back in. If it makes any difference, I cave a Windows Laptop, an iPhone and an iPad handy. If you have...
