Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
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'm having 2 issues with bluetooth since updating to High Sierra.
1) Similar to you I have connection issues and in the bluetooth section of system preferences the option to delete the device is unavailable. Restarting the OS brings back the option to delete the device in system preferences and then a re-pair get's me back up and running. Having to do this at irregular intervals. No idea what triggers the connection issue.
2) The balance for music is off when using headphones with iTunes. I have bluetooth headphones that can also be connected with an analog aux-in. With the aux-in the headphones work perfectly. When I use the bluetooth function to stream the music the left earphone is far louder than the right. What the heck.
Please read this and help apple!
New MBP (late 2017) and upgraded to 10.13.2. Bluetooth was working fine before and now is not. Will not find bluetooth Apple trackpad. Turned it on and off a couple of times, deleted the instance of the trackpad and there are no other bluetooth devices attached.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) 10.12.6 Sierra, and I'm having the same issue. At least once a day, all my bluetooth (keyboard and touchpad) simply stop working. Sometimes I have to reboot 2-3 times to get it working again. Nothing seems to fix it. I reset a bunch of stuff, nothing works. What the ****, Apple?
Both my iMAC early 2011 with HIGH sierra 10.13.1 it does not pair with my Bose wireless speal
ker any more since update.
My Mac book Pro 2014 with High Sierra 10.13.2. Will not pair either. There is a problem with High Sierra,
This is maddening! The only way my Mac is operational with my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is to shut it down completely and restart. That works for a little while before they lose connection again. I wish I'd never updated to High Sierra.
I'm having a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015).
After i updated to 10.13.2, my trackpad and keyboards loose the connection several times a day.
Yesterday i tried the "trick" to delete the bluetooth.list, still having the problem.
I have tried to reset bluetooth module, no change.
I have removed all devices and reconnected, no change.
I have been having similar issues on my 15" MBP 2011 since upgrading to macOS 10.13.2. It most obnoxiously manifests itself as no longer being able to wake my MBP (which sits in a dock, and drives a Thunderbolt Display) from either my Apple Wireless Keyboard or Apple Magic Trackpad. I have to pull my MBP out of its dock, at which point I discover that the Bluetooth is "not available," and I have to reboot to restore Bluetooth functionality.
The other way the Bluetooth issue manifests itself is that the keyboard and/or the trackpad lose their connection, and become unresponsive. I have tried resetting the Bluetooth module, and have even tried performing a factory reset on my keyboard and trackpad, to no effect.
Having the same problem on iMac 2017, OSX 10.13.2. Loosing Bluetooth connection intermittently. Always have a cable bound mouse connected now to deactive/activate Bluetooth. Sometimes however, my Mac thinks that there is no Bluetooth at all, so I need to reboot.
This is more than just annoying and should be fixed by Apple ASAP!
I have the same MBP as you but none of the problems of Bluetooth.
But then I am using 10.13.2 and after recognising that iOS 11 hit one of my Bluetooth Apps and has corrected some of the problems as we have gone up to 11.2 maybe the same applies to Mac OS - It hasnt been a problem on the MBP!

Reset like: Shift + Option + Right Click Bluetooth => Debug => Reset the Bluetooth Module ?
I have tried to reset and i still had the problem. 😟
But the solution from the "michael" link: "Last Resort" has so fare solved the problem.
Lost connection to my keyboard today. (day 2 without any problems since the "solution")
I needed to turn off bluetooth and on again and then i was able to connect it again.
This is really ******. Apple Fix Now please...
No great help. But my magic mouse works very erratically, that is unless I use it on the wall rather than the mouse mat. Anyone else having this phenomena?
Similarly if I hold my track pad on it's side it works much more smoothly. Perhaps I have to lay the Tower on its side.
I may try that tomorrow.
I have a bluetooth device to pair itunes from my phone and macbook pro into my amp, and when i play from my phone it is seamless, not heard one glitch, but from my macbook pro, after installing high sierra it just constantly stutters trying to stream audio.. Very annoying
Further to the above oddity. Several years ago my earlier Mac Pro was rather noisy. I was able to put it the other side of a thin plaster wall and added an old seat cushion as additional noise reduction.
I have just removed the cushion and the horizontal mode of moving the mouse is better, but not perfect, it is still better if I use it effectively on its side. It will actually work from the other side of the room if I move it on a vertical surface, but not at all if I am more than 5 ft from the tower and on a horizontal surface. Is it my Mouse that is at fault?
I don't know if this is relevant to others problems, but in the past - before Sierra - I could switch on my Magic Mouse and it would connect automatically, now I have to go to the Bluetooth symbol in the top bar and using a different wireless mouse I have I then have to select to connect to the Magic Mouse. Just a bit inconvenient.
Same problem here on a 2016 MBP. Bluetooth discovery stopped working. Then following the various suggestions I not have no devices paired. Have reset bluetooth, smc, nvpram etc and nothing works won‘t find any devices at all now. I have 10.13.2.
When I upgraded to Sierra, it started to stutter. Once I upgraded to High Sierra, it still stutters. I've done every solution under the sun. My bluetooth adapter works on my phone perfectly. It used to work when I was running El Capitan 😟
