Suddenly bluetooth on my macbook pro says "bluetooth not available". What can I do? I did a "repair permissions" and a restart, but with no results. It's an older macbook pro and the clicker part of my touchpad is hard to work, so I got a bluetooth mouse and it was working great all week but now my bluetooth is totally gone! Can't even get pictures from my phone! Any ideas?

Restart your Mac. If the Bluetooth status doesn’t change, disconnect all USB devices and restart your Mac again.

Thanks! Disconnecting all USB devices and rebooting did the trick~
My bluetooth suddenly quit!
