see if this will do it:


Reset bluetooth if wonky.




From the OS X desktop, hold down the Shift+Option keys and then click on the Bluetooth menu item to reveal the hidden Debug menu



or use a usb keyboard and mouse to get things going again. That's what I do, I use both all the time available.
