Hi, My mac mini (latest model) has recently got problems with the bluetooth connections to the keyboard and the mouse.
It seems to be some kind of interference to the wireless signal that makes the KB/Mouse to lose connection, and then
connect again.
I assume that it was one recent update that caused this as it worked without any problems for months before it
started by itself.
Any tips?

Hi,
Any USB things connected, especially USSB3 things?
Any other BT devices around, like cell phones?
Hi,
Yes, I have a HD connected via USB (USB3), but it was also connected
before I started to have problems.
Regarding BT, only the keyboard and the mouse. I don't know if there may
be other things devices that may interfere, but as for the HD, nothing that have
changed that I know about.
Can you test it without the USB3 drive connected?
hi, i have problem with strength of my BT signal as soon as i connect USB3 hard drive. it drops and the mouse is almost unusable 1m away. any solution to this?
edit: I found it is known problem that usb 3 devices causes interference with blue tooth. Placing device further away form mac solved my problem (shielding is also possible). Hope this helps
