[QUOTE="MikeFromMesa, post: 1758671, member: 305741"] Thank you for the information and the suggestions. I did not know about bluetooth re-training upon a reboot. I do have a usb mouse so I can try that when this problem recurs (as I am sure it will - it has been appearing and disappearing for months now) but I would rather not use a mouse. Some time ago I decided to try to use a mouse instead a trackpad on my Mini, but found that there was no way for me to do the equivalent of the "pinch-and-spread" to zoom and un-zoom the display. The mouse I had was pretty old, but had a scroll wheel that I thought might allow me the zoom functionality, but it did not and I missed that functionality so much that I went back to the trackpad. My Mini setup is a bit unusual as my Mini is on a desk at the foot of my small sofa while I sit and use it while stretched out on the sofa. That means that the trackpad is about 3 or 4 feet from the Mini itself so perhaps the bluetooth signal is not as strong as it might be were the trackpad closer. I set the system up this way because I was sick and tired of sitting at a desk working on my computer as I had done that for many years before I retired. I decided I wanted to be comfortable and relaxed, and this setup gives me that. It also may be contributing to my bluetooth problem. Perhaps there are newer mice that I could use that implement some zoom functionality. i will look. I will also try to make sure that there are no other devices close to where I "work" that might be interfering. Again, thank you for the help. [/QUOTE]
