bluetooth devices not appearing!!!

I just got a new MacBook Pro M2, after couple hours of setting it up. I realized that my MacBook just keeps on searching for nearby devices and doesn’t show the BLUETOOTH devices that are in range and those devices used to connect easily on my previous M1 Air. The devices that I have tried searching and connecting are AirPods 3 and a generic wireless Bluetooth mouse. I have tried resetting the Bluetooth module on MacBook but still the issue isn’t resolved. This issue started on macOS 12, even though now I have updated to macOS 13. NEED HELP!

MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023)

Yes, of course they were on discovery mode. It STILL doesn't detect, or pair!!!!

You can try a Bluetooth Reset

NOTE: All Bluetooth devices will need to be paired again!

Via Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal, copy & paste the following commands.

NOTE: The below 'sudo' command will prompt for your macOS login password. When you type your password nothing will echo back, but macOS will see every character you type, ending with the 'return' key.

rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
sudo pkill bluetoothd
