Bluetooth not connecting after Mojave 10.14.6 Upgrade on MacBook Pro, (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015 Mid)

After the upgrade, my Bluetooth is not connecting to iPods, mouse, Bose stereo. I have tried all of the Methods for troubleshooting, https://macreports.com/mac-bluetooth-not-working-fix/ without any luck. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Please help.

I think I found a work around.


I went through all the normal restarts and resets including the SMC and shutting down the Wifi.


Tried the Debug command for Bluetooth. Didn't work the first time. then I did the following:


I stood on one leg, patted my head and....JK.


I unplugged all my peripherals, then...


  1. Held Shift+Option and click on the Bluetooth menu in the Mac menu bar.
  2. Clicked Debug and select Remove all devices.
  3. Clicked Debug again and select Reset the Bluetooth module.
  4. Restarted my Mac.
  5. Reconnect each of your Bluetooth devices.


When the Mac restarted this time, I could see number of items on the bluetooth menu, but it would not connect them or identify them at first. I removed each one, one at a time, from the Bluetooth preferences screen. Made sure all my bluetooth was off, then set them to pairing mode one at a time. It took a few moments, but the mouse was recognised, then the keyboard etc.


You might have to debug a few times. I think three ended up being the magic number for me.

Hey everyone. Just want you to know I gave up on this issue. And the cost to put in a new wireless card is too high and not worth it for a 4 year old computer. I ended up plugging in a USB hub and purchasing a bluetooth adapter. Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard work perfectly. Here's the adapter I bought; they all don't work properly with Macs, but this one is good. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007GFX0PY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
