Bluetooth won't turn off or on.

At times, my blue-tooth is very finicky.
When I try to connect a mouse, and I disconnect the mouse, and turn off the BT, I have to RESTART my Mac before BT can be turned on again.
If I don't restart the Mac, the blue-tooth will be in a perpetual "turning on" mode and never actually execute.

I just installed the software update as well.
This happens not just for mice, but if I try to connect to my phone as well.

Any help? Thanks.

Try an SMC reset.

Let us know if that works.

What Mac? What version of OS X? What mouse?

MacBook Pro

YES! That was awesome.

Thanks.

Great, glad that did it for you.

i was having that problem tonight. I changed the batteries in the keyboard, and it still wasn't working..

Then i realized my bluetooth wasn't in the corner.

I had to shut off my computer, I gave it an hour, and when i turned it back on the little tuxedo was on my dock.

i hope i dont have to do this every time, I am going to try that SMC reset.
