Continuity and Handoff not working (Solution)

It didn't work. Then I tried something similar and it worked. Because of the Continuity issue, I thought perhaps if I turned off Bluetooth on both devices, then deleted the com.apple.bluetooth.plist file, rebooted both devices, and then turn on Bluetooth on both devices, then manually initiate a bluetooth pairing of the devices it may work. It did!

So, everyone just follow what @lucasvallim said here:

1. Turn bluetooth off

2. Finder -> Go to Folder... -> /Library/Preferences/

3. Delete the file com.apple.Bluetooth.plist

But:

4. Reboot both devices

5. Turn Bluetooth on in both devices

6. Manually pair both devices with Bluetooth

7. If "Hotspot" is turned on in the iPhone, disconnect your pairing to save your data.

Now everything should work. Hope this helps.

Yeah, this doesn't work now.

Handoff is one of those tools which is highly annoying when all devices light up when you get a phone call but when you need it to simply copy'n'paste and it fails to work you're like, really ... oooohhhh technology!

Thank you so much - worked perfectly! 🙂

Can you verify the correct path is the one as written :

/Library/Preferences/

and not

~/Library/Preferences/

Worked perfectly! Thanks for this post!

When inserting the directory in "Go to...", it's not necessary to include "~". But thanks for the tip anyway!

Thanks for the clarrification.

~/ is the user

/ is the System

done this many times – and much else – with no success

Thank you for this. This solved my problem. I'm on a Mac Pro running Sierra.

I have this issue but just on m,y iMac not my macbook. I do not have that file.

Thanks for posting a solution!

It worked for me.
