Bluetooth not connecting to my Macbook Air

The Bluetooth on my Macbook Air (2015) is not connecting to any of my Bluetooth devices, including my iPhone 13 when it's right next to the computer.

Any ideas why this might be and how to fix it?

Thanks.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

I restarted both devices, turned Bluetooth off and on. The iPhone sees other devices and connects but not to the laptop. What's the magic trick here? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Bluetooth won't stay connected between Macbook Air and Cricut Explore Air 2 Hello, I have a MacBook Pro and the connection between my Cricut Explore Air 2 lasts just a few seconds. I don't have any issues with my other BT connections. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

new iOS not connecting to bluetooth MacBook Pro Ever since Sonoma 14.0, I cannot successfully link to bluetooth devices. I have tried everything recommended. The speaker will give a sound signal that it is connected, and my computer will list it as connected, but no sound is transmitted.
