MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch mid-2015 model turns its bluetooth off by itself Hi there, I was using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse set on my MacBook Pro (Big Sur 11.1). Both worked fine, until, recently, the two devices could not wake up my MacBook Pro any longer. So I tried to wake up the computer by using the built-in keyboard, and it worked. Then I checked the bluetooth in System Preferences. It reported that the bluetooth is turned off???Nevertheless, I can tell that I never turned the bluetooth off, and this has happened for twice. Does anyone have a clue on this? Regards,

27" iMac 2020 turns off Bluetooth during sleep after switching users For the past month or so, my iMac has been spontaneously turning off Bluetooth during sleep after switching users, so that when I try to wake it up the next morning, I can't. I have to plug in an old USB mouse and plug in the Bluetooth keyboard to one of the USB ports on the iMac, as though charging, then I can log in and turn the Bluetooth back on. I'm running macOS Big Sur (11.6.4) on an iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020 model with the Intel Core i7 processor, which I purchased new from Apple in March 2021, so it isn't even a year old yet. Rebooting didn't help. I've also disconnected the power cord for several seconds, which supposedly resets the PMU, in case that might help, but it didn't. Would anyone have any ideas as to how to correct this bizarre problem? Should I consider upgrading to macOS Monterey? I've read about compatibility and speed concerns with that OS and Intel processors, so I've been hesitant, but maybe I should bite the bullet. Thanks!

Bluetooth Devices Will Not Wake Mac from Sleep Since updating to Mojave 10.14.5 My Magic Trackpad & Logitech Keyboard will not wake MacBook Pro From Sleep. I have tried everything Including Option-Shift select Bluetooth menu and DEBUG and reset all Factory Reset of all Bluetooth Devices. I cannot Find Bluetooth Preferences to remove per suggested ideas. It's not in User/Home Folder any more.. I also cannot remove Bluetooth related files from System Library it won't let me. Also, I checked "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer." UNDER Advanced Settings. So Now Ihave to Reset, Reboot and Connect all Bluetooth devices every day and after Mac Sleeps! I would be so grateful for help with this! P L E A S E !
