Ianxxx Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Does anyone know how to enable bluetooth at start up. 10.5.2 has a bug that turns it off, no way to turn it on again! Never mind found a kind of fix, you can enable it with bluetooth file exchange, in utilities folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 10.5.2 has a bug that turns it off, no way to turn it on again! Do you have a link to more info about this. Mine works fine was just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianxxx Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Do you have a link to more info about this. Mine works fine was just curious. It seems that even on real macs the bluetooth is disabled at startup can be real problem if you have a bluetooth keyboard or mouse. The only way to get it to start up again is using file exchange as on start the bluetooth on and descoverable boxed are greyed out in the prefpane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caps18 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Does anybody know of a way to force bluetooth to be on once it boots up? I am the only user, so there isn't a log-in screen. Can I make a script that would got through the process of turning bluetooth on and run it at start-up? Is there some other way to fix this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This problem only occurs when there's a device paired with the computer. Otherwise the Bluetooth will turn on normally. I'm not sure why Apple hasn't fixed this yet.

Caps18 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 It sounds like a big problem since I only have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with my tabletmac... maybe that is why Apple hasn't produced one yet. I'll try keeping the bluetooth doogle unpluged and plugging it in once it has finished starting up to see if that would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use my Bluetooth very often so it has been a non-issue for me. When I need it I just use the File Exchange method to turn it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updates fixed it for me now on 10.5.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caps18 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 What fixed it for me was reinstalling 10.5.4 with the usb-bluetooth adapter plugged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
