MacBook Air doesn't find bluetooth module I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015) and a macOS Catalina (10.15.5). Some time ago I realized my Bluetooth is not working but it was ok because I didn't use it. Yesterday I tried to pair with bluetooth speaker and I failed. I tried different solutions like restarting computer, resetting the SMC and PRAM, deleting .plist files but it never helped. Mac doesn't find bluetooth module at all because system report says "no information found'' on bluetooth page. And I can't use Shift+Option and click on the Bluetooth menu to access debug menu and select reset the bluetooth module. What should I do?

Bluetooth no longer works with OS 12.3.1 Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro with OS 12.3.1 will connect only to other Apple products. It will not connect to generic speakers or earbuds. The Apple shop checked the computer and it works fine with their devices. It suggested that I wait for a new update. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

You can't update only Bluetooth driver, it comes with macOS.

Not sure which macOS are you using, though update to Catalina could solve the issue.

Thanks. Could a bluetooth dongle on the music system improve bluetooth connection?
