StrangeNoises Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) I too am finding the bluetooth dongle that worked in Yosemite no longer seems to work properly. In my case my motherboard has onboard bluetooth too, which Mavericks/Yosemite didn't recognise at all, so suddenly when I plugged in a bluetooth one, there was *a* bluetooth adapter and it worked. Now it looks like OSX is kinda recognising the onboard one: Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 4.4.0f4 16320 Hardware, Features, and Settings: Name: spitfire Address: 24-0A-64-50-9A-40 Bluetooth Low Energy Supported: Yes Handoff Supported: No Instant Hot Spot Supported: No Manufacturer: Qualcomm Atheros Transport: USB Firmware Version: 7.4354 (6.1) Bluetooth Power: On Discoverable: On Connectable: Yes Auto Seek Pointing: On Remote wake: On Vendor ID: 0x0B05 Product ID: 0x17D0 HCI Version: 0x7 HCI Revision: 0x1102 LMP Version: 0x6 LMP Subversion: 0x01 Device Type (Major): Computer Device Type (Complete): Mac Desktop Composite Class Of Device: 0x380104 Device Class (Major): 0x01 Device Class (Minor): 0x01 Service Class: 0x1C0 Auto Seek Keyboard: On ... except for it not actually, you know, working. So I suspect this may be the problem... edit 17 Oct: I just needed to disable the onboard one in uefi bios setup, then my iogear USB dongle worked as before. (no handoff but don't think I ever did have that; don't know if that's possible with more effort than I care to put in as don't really need/miss it.)

johncool Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 You can edit the Broadcom info.plist plugin (can't remember the exact name inside IOBluetoothFamily.kext and insert the vendor and device id of your dongle. I'm away from the computer until tomorrow, but I can show you how if you need help.
