Q: How do I make sure my Mac activates Bluetooth on start-up?

Whenever I launch my Mac, Bluetooth is no longer "on" at start up, and does not recognize my wireless mouse, even though it is discoverable.

Hello:

Retet the SMC and PRAM. Bluetooth is "on" - unless you turn it off.

Sorry, Barry - didn't work - Bluetooth keeps going "off" each time I shut down, so I have to reconnect a USB mouse to set up the wireless mouse. I can"t find a way to reset Bluetooth to default to "on" at start up.
