Recommended Posts

I posted this message recently and just got a reply which fixed it:-

"My 2010 imac OS X 10.6.8 has suddenly lost bluetooth and I've no idea why. Any suggestions or help appreciated, thanks."

Update- I got this free info from Kozan From Savoir technology http://www.savoirman.com/ via the forum and it has worked! His tel is 07779 875433.


1. Shut down the iMac.

2. Unplug the computer's power cord from the mains socket.

3. Press and hold the power button on your iMac for ten to fifteen seconds.

4. Re-connect the power cord back to the mains socket.

5. Wait another five to 10 seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer back on.

Not too familiar with your set up.

Does your system use Bluetooth for Mouse and keyboard ?


Had a read and found this.


Might be worth a try.


The solution that is working is to switch off one of them (the keyboard, for example) and turn it on again


Not looked any further at the mo.


PS. Could be a Bluetooth Paring Problem after Sleep.

Yes I use Bluetooth for Mouse and keyboard

Bluetooth suddenly stopped working for both (both have new batteries)

Bluetooth symbol on mac now greyed out with message 'not available'

the issue is with the mac, not keyboard or mouse.

I've tried rebooting mac, and turning on/off keyboard and mouse before posting this.

Bluetooth setup assistant says 'No Bluetooth hardware found - in order to use this application, you must have a bluetooth module. Please verify that your bluetooth hardware is properly attached to the computer'y settings or installed/uninstalled anything or updated system prior to bluetooth disappearing...

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
