My old iMac’s Bluetooth was turned off and was mistakenly shut down. From what I can see, I can’t find a way to turn the Bluetooth back on from the login screen. Is there any way to reset it or log in without a keyboard?
iMac (2017 – 2020)
I have an imac i haven't turned on for 2 years. I now turned on and plugged in a wired keyboard. It won't connect so I can't type anything. The wireless mouse is connected and is working. How do I get the keyboard to work? It also won't connect to my wireless keyboard.
You will need a wired keyboard and wired mouse to boot that iMac, sign in, and access the Bluetooth preferences pane to turn Bluetooth back on.
Thanks a lot
You are welcome. Even though my primary Mac uses an Apple Magic Keyboard and mouse, I do keep an older spare wired Apple keyboard and a $5 wired mouse in case they are needed.
You may need to leave plugged in for a couple of days & do a few restarts... assuming the Keyboard is OK.
