Hi there,
Updated my OS a while ago (2 weeks?) and my Bluetooth isn't working ever since. Turned it on and off a few times, didn't work. So I decided to reset the Bluetooth module, that didn't work either. Neither did removing all connected devices.
The problem is that my Bluetooth keep searching for devices, but can't find any.
Any ideas on how to fix this? People with similar problems?
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016), macOS High Sierra (10.13)
I just updated today and had to have Apple support walk me through a fix...
After restarting everything in sight. AND disconnecting and reconnecting everything. AND debugging the Bluetooth. Nothing worked. I noticed Bluetooth didn't even give me the option to turn off and next to "Devices" above the empty list was a spinning wheel... searching... for anything.
Apple walked me through powering down and rebooting the SMC.
The simple process (Mine: MBP 2015 15" Retina)
1. Power down
2. Hold SHIFT+ALT+CTRL (on the left side of the key board) + POWER BUTTON for 10 seconds
3. Release all keys
4. Press the power button to boot up
Bluetooth preferences opened up like new. I can turn them on and off and every bluetooth thing in sight was an option.
Typing this from my wireless keyboard now. Hope this helps.
HEY APPLE STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE... I'm considering downgrading now so I can actually use your products.
What was unclear to me is if you were standing on one foot or not? 😝 Seriously, this is what Apple software as deviled into.
I'm having the same issue after updating to 10.13.3
Macbook Pro 2015
I have the same issue. Bluetooth headphones were working fine until I installed High Sierra, now they are not being found.
Utter Rubbish. Apple is getting worse with every update. =(
Thanks.
How long did you have to wait for the drop out?
Did they not test the new hardware to verify it was OK?
Thanks. Will post here if anything novel transpires.
I am in the UK by the way.
I contacted Apple Support and they agreed I could go to my Apple store and get a wired mouse replacement. Not an ideal resolution. But I want to remove the problem.
My bluetooth is randomly working again, but it still drops out every day. If I restart it will start working again, but it's annoying to have to restart my computer just to get Bluetooth to work.
hope they release some patch to address this frustrating issue
Thanks for the update.
Even if this affects a few customers, it is a serious problem.
APPLE - FIX THIS! I did not pay a vast sum of money for a product with such fundamental shortcomings.
High Sierra 10.13.4 release has no mention of this issue.
I installed 10.13.4 now. It was released 29th March 2018. Lets see how long my bluetooth devices last ...
Let me know how it works out please?!
I did not hold out much hope but thought it a try. One hour or so before it failed again. Back to square one.
Oh man 😠
Bluetooth not working High Sierra
