[QUOTE="TeRRyZx, post: 1606681, member: 245457"] I hope I can help, at least with anyone else who may completely lose the bluetooth for no reason. I had the same problem, trackpad and keyboard didnt work, checked systems report, and no information was found under Bluetooth. I called an apple support number, the guy had never heard of this happening but we corrected everything on the first try. Try this; Apple Icon upper left screen/shut down. Disconnect everything from the computer but the power Once the computer is off, hold down SHIFT/CONTROL/OPTION and then press the power button. Hold all 4 keys for 5-6 seconds and release. The computer should still be off at this point. Cross you fingers and press the power button. Once the computer powers up and you sign in, check to see if the bluetooth icon is now back in Systems Preferences. It worked for me and all my devices were listed. I hope this simple trick will work for all of you. [/QUOTE]
