That is the gadget that is Bluetooth-connected to your Android.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Bluetooth PAN is not visible, press the + button, then choose the Bluetooth PAN in the pop-up interface menu. You can easily add Bluetooth PAN interface back on the Mac by clicking on the + [+] button on the corner of the network preferences pane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exit any System Settings or apps on the Mac, and also any apps which should attempt to set up the Bluetooth connection between the Mac and the other device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the Mac, go to the Apple Menu &gt; System Preferences, and then click Bluetooth. When you click on the Bluetooth icon on the menu bar, you should see a list of your devices. If you are using macOS Big Sur or older, hold down the Option and Shift keys on your keyboard, then click on the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar. As you can see, sometimes the problem with turning on Bluetooth on your Mac is not so easy as clicking on a related icon in the menu bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Bluetooth on Mac is on, and you have got your device charged, turned on, and working with your secondary device, you might be having trouble with pairing. It is possible that interference from other devices is preventing the Bluetooth device from pairing and working correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bluetooth on the Mac uses a more standard 2.4GHz band, which is at risk for being overloaded with too many devices plugged in. While Bluetooth is a convenient, wireless method for getting Internet from an iPhone to your Mac, Bluetooth is limited to either 1Mbps (Bluetooth 4) or 2Mbps (Bluetooth 5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Solutions<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Steps<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Turn the Bluetooth On and Off<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Go into System Preferences > Bluetooth and then select Turn Bluetooth Off.

Just keep in mind that when you restart the Bluetooth unit on your Mac, any Bluetooth devices you connected will be disconnected, and this includes your Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Click the &#8220;Shutdown&#8221; option, and then, as it happens, your Mac will restart a while later, and once it does, it will re-sync your Bluetooth devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If rebooting does not work, then unplug all USB accessories and devices, then reboot the Mac again. For iOS devices and iPadOS, you will need to disconnect all of your devices (go to Settings &gt; Bluetooth, choose the Info icon, and select Forget This Device for each device), and then reboot the phone or tablet. When you are in the debug menu, first tap on Unpair All Devices, followed by Reset Bluetooth Module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The menu bars Bluetooth icon will act as a shortcut for whether or not Bluetooth is enabled, whether or not any devices are connected, and also whether the battery of any given device is running low. ToothFairy can help set up a special menu-bar entry for each of your several Bluetooth devices, so that connecting them is just a tap away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also right-click any device appearing under the Devices menu, and choose Connect. Select your iPhone in the Devices pop-up menu and select Connect. Select keyboard, mouse, or trackpad in the device list, and then click Connect.

If you are experiencing any problems using Bluetooth on Mac wireless headphones, make sure that your Internal Sounds settings are set to the right one, or else, it is just not going to work. If you are trying to get a Bluetooth speaker or another audio device working, you have already connected it, and are wondering why you cannot hear anything, then you will want to make sure that it is selected as the main output in System Preferences &gt; Sounds &gt; Outputs. Then, you should reconnect any Bluetooth hardware that you are using with your Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these are removable, which helps with the Bluetooth issue &#8212; they are re-created from scratch when you reboot the Mac.
