Tutorial: Mac Bluetooth issues? Learn how to reset it!

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi there are two things with problems that Apple does not seem to be able to resolve in OS X updates in the first beta version of 10.11.2 the company is again asking developers to focus their tests on Wi-Fi, for example.

Here on my Mac, for example, my Wi-Fi is very unstable (I often need to disable / enable Wi-Fi to get everything back to working as it should). Bluetooth, after some instabilities (the Magic Mouse disconnected and connected itself a few times a day), everything is working fine now. But if you are still experiencing connectivity issues with Bluetooth and have tried everything, know that there is a way to reset your settings.

  1. If you already have the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar, skip to item 2; if not, go to Bluetooth System Preferences and activate the option “Show Bluetooth in the menu bar” (at the bottom).
