Feb 21, 2015 3:25 PM in response to Kappyby Greebcw,I think I figured out what was happening.
If I have the bluetooth preferences window open, it tells me my Mac Mini is now discoverable. If I close that box and then alt+click the bluetooth icon in the top bar, it says I am not discoverable. As I understand it, disabling "bluetooth sharing" in the sharing preferences and not having your bluetooth preferences open means you are not discoverable.
Thank you for your input.
