iMac, Wireless mouse, Bluetooth

I turned off the Bluetooth on my iMac so it wouldn’t pair with the Homepad speaker. Now my mouse has lost connectivity to my computer. I can’t restore it’s functionality.

If the mouse is a bluetooth mouse, it would have disconnected the moment you turned off bluetooth, same goes for the keyboard.


If your keyboard still works, press the Command + space keys to open Spotlight search, and type in Bluetooth, it should come up with the Bluetooth File Exchange App. Hit enter to open it, and it should turn on the Bluetooth option if its off. The Mouse should then connect automatically with the Mac.


If the keyboard does not work, you will need to find a wired (USB) mouse to enable Bluetooth again.
