Possible bluetooth solution

I have good reason to suspect that my intractable iMac bluetooth mouse/keyboard disconnection problem was related to the Android File Transfer app downloaded from Android. Wipe/reload was the only cure until I re-downloaded that app. Never again!

I don't intend to waste any more time proving this, but wonder if anybody else agrees?

iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017), macOS Mojave (10.14.1)

This! My bluetooth devices were getting connected/disconnected all the time. I ended up plugging a wired mouse and keyboard in my brand new iMac.


Removing the Android File Transfer app fixed the issue 100%.


This tip needs to be included in all the 'what to do when bluetooth is not working on your Mac' tips that float around on the internet.


Thanks for sharing!
