after installing El Capitan ( 10.11), the bluetooth keeps disconnecting, then reconnecting.
Sometimes every 30 seconds. Tried to trace any conflicts, but no luck.
Does not matter what bluetooth is connected, it all goes down.
Had to shut down bluetooth, and buy a wireless mouse to replace my Magic Mouse.
is this a known bug?
Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11), mac mini (late 2012)
Well, it's buggy behavior. Occurs on latest Sierra deploy. SMC resets, multiple mice manufacturers, multiple machines experiencing the issue. Hopefully it's a correctable software issue and not a hardware flaw... Looks like this for me, btw, with Bluetooth rapidly toggling back and forth between "Connected" and "Not Connected":
I have had the disconnecting bluetooth issue every couple of days for a week or so and only a restart would work. Just tried the 'handoff' trick and keyboard and mouse spontaneously re-connected within about 10 seconds. Interesting - see how long it will last! Thanks for the tip.
Thanks! That seems to have solved my problem. 🙂
Worked for me, thank you
As I am trying this out right now, can't tell if it works yet.
This issue is very annoying and needs to be addressed by Apple.
Worked perfectly thanks . . . but don't forget to have the USB mouse handy. Thanks.
