Fixing a “Bluetooth Not Available”

1: Trash Bluetooth Preferences & Shutdown the Mac

Works for me...

i have same problem

I just did a very big mistake and updated my Mac Pro 2012. Now, additional to the pain of seeing those ugly icons in my Dock, my Magic Mouse keeps lagging very badly. No matter if I keep Mac on charge, it lags. I am looking for a cable mouse in the depths of my drawers now. For gods sake, why every good thing must go bad sooner or later.. is it entropy?

LOl!

Apple removed my suggested fix for magic mouse problem!

Their email speaks of itself!

Just shows how useless clowns they are!

I just did a very big mistake also; I have the same problem, but it isn't the only one.

1)Magic mouse isn't working after Yosemite

Procederes taken without success:

Replaced mouse batteries

Resetted PRAM

Resetted SMC

Deleted apple.bluetooth.plist (and then restart computer)

Reinstalled Yosemite (clean install)

After each of these, the mouse works for some time (minutes) with significant lag, then the connection is lost. The only way to reconnect it is restarting the computer. After some time, repetition...

2) Time Machine not working properly after Yosemite

I can make a backup, but it will be the only backup I can access. All the older ones are blank.

However, with Finder, all the backups are in the correct folder and the files can be copied (restored).

I would like to rever to Mavericks but I don't have Time Machine backup before upgrading to Yosemite.

What did Apple do with us???

What can I do? Any ideas?

The same here with magic mouse on a mac pro.

It didn't kick in straight after Yos install but know its very annoying, have plugged in an old mouse.

Also i have noticed if i change mouse surfaces it instantly goes back to normal then cruds up again after 30 seconds or so then i change surface again and back and forth. Seems like it gets bored with the same colour.

Mail has turned into a pig since Yos install. I remember a time way back when apple stuff worked. 

I wrote in about how I tried every conceivable fix, even using the old kext files, nothing really fixed it..

Installing the beta update 10.10.1 is the only thing that actually helped

Its fine now

Don't mention beta or Apple will kick you, it is their top secret now. The first one was that their CEO is gay.

APple don't threat me I don't give a ****!

I have regular kernel panic crashes, a MBPr i7 with 16Gb RAM that is painfully slow with wifi, bluetooth, magic mouse and trackpad issues. And a few other issues that I don't understand since upgrading to Yosemite.

Maybe Apple outsourced Yosemite to Microsoft ......... same crap quality!!!!            just a thought

After some more days where I did not always succeed with the bluetooth turning off/on method that I described earlier I did some further investigation. In some other forum I read about a correlation between Bluetooth and WiFi: Turning off WiFi seems to solve the Bluetooth issue as it hasn't shown up for the last three days. Imagine that - no reboot within three days OK, OK, no wireless LAN while using Bluetooth so you actually have to choose between a rock and a hard place.

Lucky me I have my Bluetooth mouse at my desk and use LAN there. When I take the Mac with me I use the on board trackpad with WiFi set to on (so switching WiFi seems to be possible).

Hope Apple publishes the patch asap (and will not break something else)

Exactly, the Bluetooth problem seems to be related to a WiFi problem.

Also because the beta version solve the problem and the focus areas are: WiFi, Email and Notification Center.

The problem is I`m using an Air, I don`t even have a LAN interface, so disable WiFi isn`t an option for me.

I prefer to disable Bluetooth and use WiFi, I can work without bluetooth but I can`t work without WiFi.

In further support of your discovery, the correlation of Bluetooth issues and WiFi was pointed out in this forum, in the first 3 posts on Oct 27. I posted some data showing the measured impact on Bluetooth signal strength of turning WiFi on and off. This may not be related to other symptoms described in this thread such as lag time, but it seems to be relevant to at least some of the issues. (All this applies to 10.10.0 - I haven't tested the 10.10.1 beta yet)

The only real solution is installing 10.10.1 (Beta 2 works fine).No more buggy bluetooth drivers... All the other solutions are temporary. If not, wait until the general public release.

Don't waste your time trying other solutions.

CheerS!

Thanks all of you that made comments to my question (actually a reported problem).

I'm happy that I'm not alone!!!

I'll wait for Apple 10.10.1 upgrade.

Being at home with no LAN adapter I just figured out that after the Bluetooth trackpad was lost simply turning WiFi Off, reconnect the trackpad via Bluetooth settings and turn WiFi back on give me the next 'interval' of both WiFi and Bluetooth working. No reboot necessary.

For sure this is not an acceptable durable solution, but installing a beta version on a company machine is a no go.
