Fix Bluetooth problems on your Mac?


Overview 

Bluetooth is just one of the wireless technologies that comes packed into your iOS devices and Macs.

It’s used for short-distance data transmission and it’s super low on battery usage, making it a great option for thirdparty accessories like speakers, mice, headsets, and even the Apple Watch.

Unfortunately, Bluetooth on the Mac can sometimes be relatively flaky, and when problems occur, there are some troubleshooting steps you can take.


What you can do to fix the issue


Method 1: Have you tried turning it off and on again? 

Click on the Menu Bar, and you’ll see an option to “Turn Bluetooth Off” or “Turn Bluetooth On” if it’s already off.

If Bluetooth doesn’t work, take the reboot to an extreme; try rebooting your Mac. Visit the  “Apple” menu in your Menu Bar and select the “Restart…” option to completely restart your computer.

After booting back up, try to connect your Bluetooth peripherals again and see if that didn’t solve the problem.


Method 2: Remove potentially corrupted files 

Step 1: Open Finder on your Mac and click on the “Go” menu in Menu Bar, then click on “Go to Folder…”

Step 2: In the Go to Folder window that opens up, type in or paste /Library/Preferences and then click on the blue “Go” button.

Step 3: In the new Finder window that opens, locate the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file, right click on it, and select “Move to Trash.”

Step 4: Open the “Go” menu in the Menu Bar once again, and just like before, click on the “Go to Folder” option again.

Step 5: In the Go to Folder window, delete any text in the text field and type in or paste~/Library/Preferences/ByHost into the text field and click on the blue “Go” button.

Step 6: When the Finder window opens, locate thecom.apple.Bluetooth.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx file, right click on it, and select “Move to Trash.”

Step 7: Now reboot your Mac and your operating system will automatically generate new Bluetooth files when you turn Bluetooth off and on again.


Method 3: Reset your Mac’s Bluetooth Module 

Step 1: Hold down the Shift (⇧) key and the Option key and click on the Bluetooth menu in your Menu Bar on your Mac

Step 2: Go to Debug > Remove all devices and click on it to disconnect from all paired Bluetooth devices.

Step 3: Now open the same menu once again and click on Debug > Reset the Bluetooth module to reset your Mac’s Bluetooth module.

Step 4: After resetting your Mac’s Bluetooth module, you can now attempt to re-pair all of your Bluetooth accessories and everything should work as expected.
