Apple - Magic Mouse can never reconnect on Yosemite
I found a solution from this comment on reddit:
- Turn off wifi
- Reconnect Magic Mouse
- Turn on wifi again
I just noticed that the above doesn't work sometimes and instead you have to reconnect the mouse after turning on wifi again:
- Turn off wifi
- Turn on wifi again
- Reconnect Magic Mouse
I've had issues reconnecting my bluetooth keyboard & trackpad since upgrading to Yosimite. I run this script via custom Automator Application:
- Search for (Spotlight search) and run Automator
- Choose "Application" for new file type
- Click on "Utilities" from list
- Double-Click "Run AppleScript"
Replace (* Your script goes here *) with:
do shell script "kextunload -b com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport; kextload -b com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport" with administrator privileges
- Press play to test (will prompt for password)
- File->Save to desktop or wherever
Run the automator app whenever bluetooth devices won't connect
For many it is because of a WiFi/Bluetooth conflict.
- Go to the Apple menu and choose System Preferences
- Go to the Network control panel
- Select “Bluetooth PAN” from the list of network interfaces on the left side menu
- Hit the Delete key or the [-] minus button to remove the Bluetooth PAN interface
Note: Bluetooth PAN is for connecting to your iPhone for things like "Instant Hotspot" and can easily be re-added using the [+] on the same screen if you need it later.
