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...

    • Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.
    • That would be 78.231 m3, that is 78,231 liters.  The average water consumption per person in the UK is around 141 liters per day I believe.  So I'd say you're doing very well 👍 Have you tried to report your reading online?
    • Apart from potentially saving money (which TBF is more likely if there are fewer people living in your home) it is better for the environment to have a  water meter,  as you have an incentive to use less water. But roll on the re-nationalisation (is that a word?) of the water companies, before our green and pleasant land is covered with raw sewage. And so that the money from our water bills goes to improve the infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of already rich people. Vote Green! Ooops sorry, that's another thread.
