How to work with Bluetooth devices from headphones to speakers, keyboards to mice
YOU’LL NEED
Mac, Bluetooth devices
Bluetooth technology cuts the cord on many devices, enabling you to enjoy a whole host of kit from keyboards, games controllers, speakers, headphones, mice and trackpads without the need for trailing wires. So long as your devices are within around 10 metres (33 feet) of your Mac, you can quickly connect and use your accessories. But, for some reason, it’s not always easy to connect. So how can you make working with them a little easier?
Here we look at ways of making the most of your Bluetooth devices whether you’re sticking with macOS’s excellent built-in options or looking a bit further afield. For the most part, you shouldn’t encounter too many problems – Bluetooth tends to work well these days. But, if you do, try turning Bluetooth on and off again via System Settings > Bluetooth, resetting your device, restarting your Mac, updating macOS or refreshing the Bluetooth module by opening Terminal and typing ‘sudo pkill bluetoothd’. Time to get stuck in. David Crookes
