Mac and iPad can't connect via Bluetooth-IOS8/Mavericks

I've been trying to set up Bluetooth sharing between my iPad (IOS8) and my iMac (Mavericks) without success. I set up the Bluetooth option in my iPad, then I click on Open Bluetooth preferences on my Mac and it shows my iPad. Then I get the pairing sequence which I accept on my iPad. It connects then a few seconds later it becomes "not corrected."


Now, I searched for the subject and linked to this

and noticed something that does not make much sense.


Can't pair to a Bluetooth accessory

  • If you see the word "Connected" next to a Bluetooth accessory in Settings > Bluetooth, your iOS device is already paired to a Bluetooth accessory.
  • ........
  • Remember, you can only connect to one Bluetooth accessory at a time.
  • .......
  • If your Bluetooth accessory requires a PIN for pairing, be sure that you are entering the correct PIN1.
  • Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

    This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

How can it can only be connected to one Bluetooth accessories when I have an Apple Wireless Keyboard and a Magic Mouse. That's two accessories.


So, my iPhone and my iPad can't be connected to my Mac which affects AirDrop, by the way.


Any solutions?
