How To Turn On Bluetooth On Your Mac

Troubleshooting Bluetooth Issues on Mac

There are several possible reasons why you can’t turn Bluetooth on on your Mac. First, make sure that your Mac is compatible with Bluetooth by checking for the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar. If it’s not present, then your Mac may not be compatible with Bluetooth. Additionally, make sure that your Bluetooth devices are properly paired to your Mac and that their batteries are charged. Finally, if you’ve already attempted pairing but still can’t turn on Bluetooth, try resetting the Bluetooth module by holding Shift+Option and clicking the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar, then selecting “Debug” and “Reset the Bluetooth module.” If these steps fail, you may need to restart your Mac or contact Apple Support for assistance.
