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.
Hi Tony. BootCamp or virtual Windows sound good, although they give me some concern that something might go wrong, asking myself, do I know enough about computers to do it?...Q for you: Lost some Flight sim games about 4 iMac OS upgrades ago ( no more support ) would I be able to play them with Windows? Also many more games available for Windows, will they work when played on the iMac machine.
Thanks for your interest.

I only want working drivers also under Win 10 Pro. This cannot be that difficult.
I have managed to run Win 10 Pro from an external SSD on my iMac and do not want to spend money
for a VM solution I do not need and costs performance.
I have bought my first iMac because you can also run Windows natively with the Intel CPUs.
Apple should react quick here!
Fusion is pretty transparent and easy to use. Re gaming, I don't do that so I don't know. But this product has been around for a long time. There must be a ton of reviews out there.
Let us know what you find. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
Best,

Very strange.
The last few days, bluetooth has been working mostly fine. After log in from sleep, it can take a few seconds to kick in, but it does do so. Nothing changed in my room/devices or osx release.
This is baffling.
I still get internet access dropping out for about 15 seconds (Chrome and Safari) after log in from sleep - all whilst Spotify continues to stream music without interruption (I can skip to the next track to ensure not a cache situation).
Not sure how this relates, but it is irritating also.
What is version 10.13. for? I jut download high sierra a few days ago and when I ask "my mac" whether there are any more updates available it says there are none.
The current version is 10.13.1.
Thinking of upgrading to high sierra. Can you not just simply drag the photo onto the desk top.
Tried this "solution" this morning and so fare (6 hours) it is working as before the update. 🙂
Fingers crossed
I had same problem after upgrade to 10.13.2. Resetting bluetooth module as outlined by MacMiniMojo worked for me.
Hello Roy, have tried that solution and my system is still buggy.
So i think we need a fix from apple.
Yes, same question, also just at this moment.
Have to add any mouse with cables to continue working.
Thanks! This worked for me...
I have the same problem. BT turns on, but It can't discover any devices. Did find a solution ?
