upgrade mac Mini to Yosemite


the Mini will not connect to headphones any more (does connect to Trackpad and Keyboard)


- has trouble connecting/disconnecting from drop down menu (just stays in previous setting)

- when "connected", speaker sound goes off, nothing in headphones (mostly)

- occasionally sound is received in sputtering fashion

- quitting Safari does not help

- repairing does not help


I restarted once, and it seemed fixed, until next time I went to use it


won't upgrade other machines until fixed

Mac mini (Late 2012)

I've had a series of issues since upgrading, I believe it is BT related:


If I did NOT try to use my previously functioning BT headphones I got:

  • no stalls/stops playing video files
  • no sound issues (no connect to headphones, stuttering audio)
  • no endlessly spinning beachball
  • no "System Prefs Not Responding" message


If I tried to connect to the headphones I had issues with all of the above bullets. Trackpad and keyboard continued to work after the above problems manifest themselves.


This issue was repeatable - don't connect to the BT headphones, things were "good"

Disk Utility found no issues


RePairing the headphones does not help


I reset the PRAM, and that resolved the issues
