IvaNftw Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hi all, I have some weird issues with Sierra, regarding BT. Magic mouse and apple wireless keyboard doesn't auto connect each time I boot into system. BT works, but somehow couldn't pair with mouse/keyb. Solution is to unplug BT, then put it back. And after 3 seconds everything is ok. Any advice?

Mac Hosehead Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I have had a similar experience with IOGear BT dongle. I have always had a good experience with reconnecting using CSR BT dongle. They are cheap on ebay.

Mac Hosehead Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Well since I do own this IOGear adapter and I own an Apple Magic mouse and wireless keyboard, I tried this on a recent install of Sierra on my hack. I again had problems pairing after a reboot. However, I did happen to see this on an Amazon review: I tried an experiment, which ultimately worked for me anyway. I booted up with the IOGear dongle removed. I plugged in a wired USB mouse, which you will need after you disable your bluetooth mouse. I then disconnected (unpaired) my bluetooth keyboard and mouse. After doing that, and now using the USB mouse, I then turned off bluetooth. I plugged in the IOGear dongle and turned bluetooth back on. I verified that the IOGear dongle was working. I then went into system preferences for the mouse and keyboard and reconnected (paired) my bluetooth mouse and keyboard, which made them now paired to the new IOGear dongle. When I rebooted, the system now defaulted to the new IOGear Bluetooth 4.0 adapter. This did work for me, so this adapter should work fine.

Mac Hosehead Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I don't know if you'll have luck with this but this is the CSR BT dongle I am using: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORICO-USB-Mini-Wireless-Bluetooth-4-0-Adapter-For-PC-Laptop-CSR8510-MAC-BTA-402-/201592007352?hash=item2eefd1eab8:g:JFYAAOSwn8FXRpm~ I can switch between this and the IOGear now and I only have to pair again. This is system I'm using it on: GA-Z77X-UP5 TH GTX650 ti i7-3770 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/316128-magic-mouse-and-apple-keyb-doesnt-auto-connect-after-reboot/#findComment-2293426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
