connecting a bluetooth headset on a macbook pro

Hi,

I have been trying to connect my Plantronics Backbeat Go2 headset via bluetooth on my Macbook Pro OS X 10.9.3 but I have had no luck. I click on the bluetooth meanu and the only options are "send files to device", "Browse files on device", turning the bluetooth on/off, and "open bluetooth preferences". So I go to the bluetooth preferences and it doesn't seem to be able to pick up or discover any bluetooth devices at all, even if they are on. This has happened to all other bluetooth devices that I have tryid to connect to the Macbook.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

I'm having the same problem - I have a little Bluetooth speaker.

Worked once and can't reconnect though it is discoverable. Maybe a compatibility

Problem. Doesn't make sense. I say if it worked one

Before it should connect. Works phone with my iPhone

But not my computer.

This seems to be a software problem with Yosemite and MacBook Pros. I am currently running 10.10.4. My MacBook Pro (2012, non-retina) simply will not discover any Bluetooth device. Interestingly, I do have a partition via Boot Camp for windows and when booted into Windows 7, the Bluetooth worked just fine and I am able to discover and pair devices while in Windows using my MacBook Pro. My iMac works just fine. Seems to be affecting MacBook Pros only. .
