How to fix the Bluetooth issue in macOS Monterey

[@MannyTutorials]

Command to shut down bluetooth services is: sudo pkill bluetoothd

[@f34rparlex92]

tyyy

[@richardlescroart4140]

either of these command kill the daemon but it is immediately restarted as seen by a new PID

[@TomGromak]

This might fix A bluetooth problem, but not all bluetooth problems. I've got an iMac for which the hardware just no longer works under Monterey. I've tried the terminal command. No effect. And my system is so borked that it doesn't even create any bluetooth plist files. They just don't exist. Can't turn bluetooth on. Took the big step of repartitioning the drive and reinstalling the OS fresh. Still no bluetooth (or plist files). It was fine in Catalina. Gone in Monterey.

My MacBook’s bluetooth is still causing issues with bluetooth audio devices. All this mess started with MacOS Monterey. Apple should fix this ASAP

[@enzooldmasterQ]

Yes, its very irritating. Same problem with my M1.

[@gvishnukanthbharadwaj5394]

Is it resolved?

[@MuhammadUmer-vs7qk]

I have tried almost every fix available over the internet, but couldnt able to connect my headphones smoothly after updating to macos monterey. I mean to say before update it was working perfectly but after that when i try to connect, it keeps on connecting and disconnecting and at somepoint it connects automatically without any reason. my issue is still not solved

[@salvastone6094]

I have same issue but with mouse logitech M350

[@mariIu001]

same here, I am so upset!!!

[@zangasims3704]

Same here, so annoying!

[@zangasims3704]

Did you manage to get it fixed?

[@michs1708]

this is a good video, but seriously Apple need to fix this asap! every time they bring new OS out there are issues. it's like owning a windows pc.

[@DanielJackCosta]

Is there a way to enable bluetooth before user password? I use an external keyboard and when I turn it on it doesn't recognize any Bluetooth devices until I input the password on the Macbook's keyboard.

[@Rob-bw3jx]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! To everyone you need to also restart your other device a few times and also make sure you follow every step he tells you!!!

[@lakshkaushik6366]

please help me , did all the steps perfectly but still cant see any devices showing up to connect

[@brentyblanco]

You are the man, Manny! Worked like a charm. THANK YOU!

[@dankenny]

The issue I'm having is 'Passkey Mismatch' for connecting my device. No matter how many times I try it won't work and I definitely have the right passkey. Any way to resolve this?

[@vanessasmith7782]

Same issue here

[@manasausharma1918]

@@vanessasmith7782 Have same issue. Did it resolve?

[@MrHengDoItAll]

thank man , i work on my track pad but not for keyboard . keep say connect rejected . any idea ? thank

[@juantxiki]

Good morning. Every time I boot I have to write in the terminal for bluetooth over USB to work. Is there any solution to keep it forever? Thank you

[@ritchie7772]

Thank you!!!!! Definitely solved my issue. I followed the steps like you said and my issues are gone!

[@JasonMckellMusic]

Didn't work for me Monterey.. connected then disconnected immediately and said its usual response...

[@kenturnbull9679]

You have to be using a corded mouse because as soon as you enter the kill command your cordless mouse is dead...morte, not longer with us, having a dirt nap...like a Norwegian Blue!

[@hornplayer1228]

Not a universal fix for all problems. My 2017 iMac internal BT stopped working - dead. I have a Sonnet and a Hideez usb dongle and neither work under Monterey but when I reboot into Big Sur they both work fine. I have tried all the internet fixes suggested for Monterey but none work. In most cases the on/off button does not work. I managed to get a clean install of Montery to show the ON/off switch to actually move to the On position but still nothing works.

[@Azirfx]

wait sir, i hv a problem with my bluetooth that always disconnect when it connected, and this tutorial can be the answer?

[@KevinPetersdp]

I don't have a com.apple.bluetooth in my preferences folder

[@pavementjuice8315]

I dont either, my bluetooth will not turn on

[@bobajett1025]

Com.apple.bluetooth doesn’t show up for me, can you make an updated version please?

[@as-Sabr739]

my bluetooth icon is slashed out and i can’t even slide it to turn it on. any idea what’s wrong?

[@bagelpro8909]

When I looked up blue tooth in preference. there was nothing there. Any help there?

[@325rola]

ur an angel. thank u so much! i hate apple for making this process so complicated,ahhhh

[@nicholasdavies168]

I'm on MacOS Big Sur and this worked for me. Great tutorial bro!

[@lakshkaushik6366]

this did not work for me

[@enlooverdrive]

[@JULIOAIS]

How did you get to the word "diquote"? You use QuickTime Player?

[@vijaykannanhere]

i have a problem of audio lagging in bluetooth headphones

[@followthatboat5163]

What should you then do with the com.apple.bluetooth file in trash? is it ok to remove this file permanently?

[@ashifraza2919]

will it work for keeps disconecting prob???

[@natashaivanchenko7017]

So my laptop allegedly connects to the bluetooth/ external speaker but it doesn't work. No sound goes through. Nothing happens. Sound still comes through the laptop's speaker. Any ideas? 😔

[@agustinustehas]

I have the same problem with my m1 macbook pro, bluetooth doesnt work properly. Sometimes it’s connected, sometimes it’s disconnected automatically. Frustrating enough

[@rahmannaimur69]

have you found any slove?

[@yaakemet9408]

Still not working for me 😞

[@thecover868]

Thank you bro i thought there was no way to get back my head phones work with my again

[@benjaminhalde7301]

Hello Manny carried out all the steps but my bluetooth speaker still has issues, every 5 seconds there is a sound interruption. Started with Monterey. Its rather annoying :(

[@Cuzinz]

[@jcastaneable]

[@kaarelkokemagi7574]

Brilliant! Now my bluetooth speakers are showing again 🙏

[@UserNotQuiteaUserButaUser]

[@zanzulianie7252]

You need admin powers, not joking look it up

[@jayhunthuntcreative]

Doesn't work

[@NikNik-px2jz]

My Blue tooth is not turning on plz give me a solution on my mackbook pro. Not able to turn it on

[@evaa8118]

IT TOTALLY WORK THANKSS!!

[@notlimey]

Did't work for me. My terminal has a long note about zsh and I tried fixing that but I'm not a programmer so I guess I will just do without bluetooth - it had been working fine but cut out in the middle of a sentence yesterday

[@deepanshusaini5417]

same issue with me

[@adamshimizu8853]

The Library folder does not come up when I hold down "option" and click on "go"

[@nas7607]

You have to hold option or the library button disappears

[@adam_churchfront]

Followed the instructions and did not resolve my issue. for me, the skipping happens on Google Chrome but not when listening to Apple Music Macbook Monterey 12.2.1 Apple Airpod Pros

[@timschunk]

nothing works. I can not access bluetooth debug either, the menu does not come up

[@mitchsmith71]

Im on Ventura and unfortunately this didn't work for me :-(

[@박재형-b6k]

I don’t see com.apple.bluetooth file in preferences

[@frotzfaatuai705]

Better, but audio still stutters. Reported to Apple Support ("Monterey 12.4 - bluetooth stutter (mouse, headphones and speakers)". Thank you for the improved experience...

[@sirrashton2054]

I've tried everything but it won't turn on.

[@obeymulder5912]

[@tarinabdullah]

I tried this method but its asking for some kind of password Help needed! 🙋🏻‍♂️🙏🏻

[@lynloisong9268]

same, i cant type anything when that password word flash

[@tarinabdullah]

@@lynloisong9268 exactly the problem I faced. Can someone please help Us? 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@tarymlah19]

in terminal it is your password to get in your user account

[@lenojacob161]

I tried all these steps and even *sudo pkill* command didnt help me. Finally I did diagnostic scan in startup and restarted my macbook pro A1502 and it fixed my bluetooth not turning on issue. Steps to do: -Shutdown macbook> turn on macbook by pressing D and it will take you to diagnostic page. Follow the onscreen instructions and finally it will show the result of scan. In my case no error was showing after the scan. Just restart the mac after scan and tadaaa….bluetooth is working fine. Thank me later

[@ilikesundays4312]

Thank you so much. I tried this and it wanted my internet password which I could not remember so I just turned it of and turned it on and then bluetooth now works. So I didn't even get to any scan. Just started it with finger on D.

[@orange-paris]

Most mouses work on Bluetooth nowadays ..

[@perseverancemakurira8298]

I can hardly comprehend some of your words, would you mind to type the commands as you speak them?

[@closer71]

I don't have Library in that drop down menu?

[@TheKamransheikh]

I've tried everything but it won't turn on.
