Q: Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite: Magic Mouse and Keyboard

Ditto. The established BlueTooth connection keeps dropping between the Magic Mouse and MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013). Jitteriness is also experienced as if there is interference. This worked fine under 10.9.5.

Thank goodness you guys have some ideas

I've got a 2012 Core i5 Mac Mini with a Micron M4 SSD and 8GB of RAM and its felt horribly sluggish, the mouse and keyboard have been skipping all over and the sound to my Creative D200 bluetooth speaker, which I have always used as my primary speaker, is now .5-6 seconds off (yes that much delay), it's terrible

I'll try the PRAM/SMC

Hopefully Apple can quickly release a patch to fix this! I'm on a Mac Mini I don't need any particular power savings on my bluetooth, thanks

Maybe a setting in System Prefs, so when I'm using my mini from a DC->AC inverter on a raft in the middle of the ocean I will be able to conserve its power

Did the SMC and PRAM, still really unusable

*sigh* it seems like a real waste of these nice bluetooth components, the keyboard, mouse, speaker..They worked so nicely in 10.9, I wish I never upgraded

This seemd to work on my mac mini:

sudo kextunload -b com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport

sudo kextload -b com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport

I have the same problems. After the update to OS 10.10, the Apple keyboard and the touchpad are dropped the connection to my macbook pro early 13" retina.

I don´t undertand that Apple have a problem with there own products.

Tried this on my macmini but it just says Bluetooth unavailable now.

Since upgrade to Yosemite bluetooth on macmini won't connect to iPhone 6 or to my Bose Soundlink mini speaker.

Hope Apple fix this quickly. With iOS 8.0 Bluetooth on the iPhone 6 wouldn't connect to car kit but they fixed it with iOS 8.1 so hoping the can come up with a quick fix for OSX too.

in reply to:

sudo kextunload -b com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport

sudo kextload -b com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport

that helped smooth out the mouse, there's still a one second delay on the bluetooth speaker

maybe apple doesn't understand I use my bluetooth speaker for VLC, Quicktime, Skype, everything? Out of sync is super bad.
One thing that's always been cool is how instant the bluetooth stack is on MacOS in previous versions, 10.8 and 10.9 always had bluetooth audio that had no perceptible delay, lips were right, keypresses and mouse presses that elicited a beep were in time...Now its so annoying pressing a bunch of buttons and hearing a million beeps seconds later, its disorienting

I have partial success. I ran:

sudo kextunload -b com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport

sudo kextload -b com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport

But after running this Bluetooth was left disabled.

So I rebooted and now the macmini can connect to the Bose Soundlink mini speaker.

Still can get the iphone 6 to connect to the macmini though so no handoff.

Turn off FileVault.  I did and I haven't had a Bluetooth problem since.

Hi, I have this problem too... Have you tried to switch wifi off when the problem occur? I think is a sort of wifi and bluetooth coexistence problem.

What do you think?

It's something related to the energy safer policy on YOSEMITE. I don't think is related to FileVault or Wireless/Bluetooth coexistence.

All I can say is that after reading all about this on the web in this forum and others, I turned off FileVault and I have not had any more trouble with my BlueTooth.  You can say it isn't related all you want but at least for me this is what fixed it.

Prior to turning it off I had intermittent BlueTooth connectivity, devices would disconnect if idle, the mouse was 'sticky', pauses, everything that was described here and elsewhere.

same problem: 13'' Retina MacBook and the Magic Mouse. The bt connections drops. If I disable bt and switch it on again, the mouse gets connected again.

FileVault is off and was off all the time.

It's odd because I have problem even with macbook pro charging... I have fileVault turned off since I upgraded to Yosemite

I've switched off wifi and I have a cable lan, bluetooth doesn't disconnect and mouse does' stutter...

I don't know, but I had same problem when I installed Windows 7 in boot camp. See this: Is anybody else struggling with an intermittent connection when using the Magic Mouse/Trackpad ONLY on Boot Camp?

I can confirm the issue is power-related. The Bluetooth lag/delay immediately stops when I plug my MBP in. If I unplug, the issue returns. If I re-plug, the issue disappears. (and on, and on).

FileVault is on. Power saving and graphics switching is off.
