Bluetooth was off on M2 iMac after shutdown
I shut my computer down and forgot that I had Bluetooth turned off. I have a M2 IMac with the latest Tahoe operating system. Can anyone help me?

If you are using the Apple Magic Keyboard, plug the keyboard into the iMac with its charging cable and it should behave as a wired USB keyboard and allow you to sign in.
Once signed in, press Command-Spacebar to invoke Spotlight. Type “System Settings” and press return to launch System Settings.
Now you can use your Tab key and arrow keys to navigate up/down the sidebar to the Bluetooth settings and tab over to the Bluetooth ON/OFF button to reenable it for the mouse.

Thank you!
You’re welcome. 🙂
M2 Imac is very rare ! Maybe a prototype ?
I was guesing at the time. Could not get iMac started due to an issue with Bluetooth, it's a M3. Sorry about that!
