Q: Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite: Magic Mouse and Keyboard
-
Mar 26, 2015 9:04 AMby De quessquidit,On march 20, I installed the 2015-002 security update + the Safari 7.1.4 and my Magic trackpad started to be erratic. It disconnected itself continuously so I changed the batteries 3-4 times using used batteries from toys and other things. No improvement. Yesterday I bought new batteries and installed them this morning. I immediately felt something in my hand and it developed into a chest pain. I have to say that I can sometimes feel the wifi so i'm an electro sensitive person. But never I felt such a chest pain with bluetooth. I turn it off and the pain vanish one hour after. My guess is that they boosted or changed the frequency used and it affected the track pad and me. I called Apple to warn them immediately, so If anybody has a hart condition, be aware. I unfortunately have to stop using the trackpad and Bluetooth. It's a shame cause I loved it. Anybody experienced something similar?
Mac Pro Late 2013, 3.7Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5, Maverick 10.9.5

It would make sense that the wifi is involved cause I can usually feel the wifi and had to stop using my trackpad.
So I guess you're right.

Go into Network Preferences and delete Bluetooth PAN. This was not connected fir me anyway. As soon as I did I noticed an instant difference.
Hope this helps

May 13, 2015 6:53 AMby raph_france,I have found one solution that works for me every time.
I have disabled "Handoff" in "general" settings on all the accounts, then rebooted.
I have done it for some weeks and it works perfectly if you don't need Handoff feature.
If I enable Handoff again, the problem comes back.
It works on my iMac 27 late 2012.
Try this ...

May 15, 2015 3:38 PMby chris.j.sanders,This is completely ridiculous that you have to turn off handoff and other things to use Apple's own bluetooth keyboard. sheesh! you'd think that paying the Apple Tax you could at least get some service for it. In any case, thanks for your help with a somewhat okay workaround for now. I'm not sure why Apple hasn't fixed this yet since it's been an issue for 6 months now.

I have a 15" retina MBP late 2013 and have been having these problems that lots of others are having with bluetooth peripherals. I'm finding that if I connect my Apple Keyboard, magic mouse or HP bluetooth mouse then they constantly keep disconnecting and reconnecting during use. There is also this half second lag between when I tap or move something before it happens on screen.
Since reading through this thread I have disabled handoff and so far (after an hour or so) I have had no problems at all with any of my bluetooth devices (first time in months).
