Mac OS Mojave Continuity issues

Hi,

I could not find the file too. There is a work around for finding it.

In finder menu bar select Go => Go to Folder or hit Shift + Command + G and type "/Library/Preferences/" without the "" and click enter.

Then you will find com.apple.Bluetooth.plist there. Delete it and reboot your system it will work. Enjoy.....

I have neither Mojave nor iOS 12 installed so can not replicate your issue but I just noticed this article while surfing Mojave items in readiness for my installation, so it may be of assistance.

> Restart your phone and computer. Works fine afterwards.

Sadly that does not resolve the issue for me.

For what it is worth, logging off iCloud and logging in again on both the iPhone and the MAC does not resolve the issue either.

i try to delete com.apple.Bluetooth.plist, but never found this file.

try to restart my phone and restart my mac, not work,

try same wifi/change another wifi and connect bluetooth, not work.

always timeout.

I found a similar plist file under the ByHost folder. I deleted that, but it didn't fix my iPhone issue. Just an FYI.....This doesn't use WiFi at all. I just tested with my iPad with Wi-Fi off and it worked fine. It uses BlueTooth only. Wi-Fi is not a factor. In any case, everything is fine using my iPad but not my iPhone.

After the file deletion and the reboot I had to manually go in and delete all the zombie bluetooth devices that were in System Preferences... then went over to network and turned Wi-Fi off and then back on... and for some reason after all that it now works properly. 🙂

iPhone does not need to be unlocked for this feature to work... the Mac initiates and automatically loads the camera app.

I had the same problem, it not only requires you to have bluetooth on, but i had to go to my bluetooth setting on my computer and select to my phone to connect to via bluetooth. After i paired the iPhone with the computer it works as advertised.

Hello,

Wlan and Bluetooth must activate than I have turn off Handoff on my iMac and my iPhone.

I have restart both devices and turn on the Handoff-function on both devices.

In my case, this solved the problem.

Cheers

Amazing workaround...It really helped

Initially only the ipad mini 4 12.0.1 was working with MBP mid 2015 Mojave while iphone X ios 12.0.1 was giving me the error message...

Did what IvoSvejcar suggested.

Before deleting the proposed file I made a copy it at the desktop and then deleted from the library.

Restarted my Mac and then the deleted bluetooth related file was recreated in the library. (obviously not the same one)

The ipad mini 4 and the iphone X could not connect to the bluetooth. The import from option initially disappeared from Mac. After a while the option restored but now both devices could not make import.

I replaced the new file in the library with the saved one and now both devices are working seamlessly...

even i had the similar issue and my universal clipboard was also not working .

I FIXED the issue by logging out from icloud and restarting both device.

Loggin back to icloud and final restart .

everything works fine now 🙂

I also had the same 'timed out' message. I discovered that even if your Mac is hard wired to your internet you must still turn the 'wifi' ON (using the icon in the top left menu bar and wait for it to connect). Your iPhone wifi must be ON & connected. Despite the Apple advice you do NOT need your iPhone bluetooth on as it will be using wifi. Turn on the iPhone camera. This worked for me.

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

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

3. Reboot

4. Enjoy.

I am having the same issue. I have connected using wifi and bluetooth but still receiving time-out error message.

I have the exact same problem, though my iPhone is unlocked already, it didn't open the Camera app when I clicked Take Photo option on my Mac.
