cant connect bluetooth mouse or keyboard to setup mac

I recently purchased a used imac 2024. When I plug it the device powers up. However it will not allow me to connect to mouse or keyboard.


I have replaced the batteries, swapped out the logi keyboard and mouse for a ProtoARC. Still no bluetooth connection.


Thank you,

If you cannot answer with confidence or the answer is “no” then return it ASAP to get your money back. If you do not or ignore the Mac will ALWAYS be associated with old owner and never operate correctly and possibly be nothing more than a door stop.Don’t laugh we get your types of posts daily and the answer is always the same!!!!


NEVER EVER buy a used Mac from:


  • Ebay
  • Craigslist
  • Nextdoor
  • Amazon
  • Marketplace
  • Local PC shop
  • Friend, neighbor, acquaintance or relative


Only purchase an Apple refurb from Apple’s online store or from a reputable reseller such as Mac sales.com!!!!
