No Bluetooth in Settings

My iMac says Bluetooth is unavailable. It’s not in the Settings either. I’ve never had an issue connecting the wireless keypad. How can I recover Bluetooth?

iMac 27″, OS X 10.10

One possible solution is to reset the Bluetooth module on your Mac. To do this, you can follow these steps:

1. Turn off Bluetooth by clicking on the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar and selecting "Turn Bluetooth Off".

2. Go to Finder > Go > Go to Folder.

3. Type in ~/Library/Preferences/` and click "Go".

4. Find the file named "com.apple.Bluetooth.plist" and move it to the Trash.

5. Restart your Mac.

6. Turn Bluetooth back on by clicking on the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar and selecting "Turn Bluetooth On".
