Hello,
To use my mouse, I need Bluetooth but it's not working.
When I click on "activate," nothing happens; it's as if I hadn't clicked...
Could someone help me?
Thank you in advance.

Configuration: Mac OS X / Firefox 6.0.2

    Hello,

    1) Always specify your configuration: model and type of Mac + OS
    2) Make sure that what you want to do is possible
    3) To check if Bluetooth is installed: Apple menu/About This Mac/More Info/Hardware/Bluetooth! response?

      1) I have a MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8
      2) The reason I'm asking my question is that what I want to do is possible: enable Bluetooth! It seems to me that it is possible, right? ;-)
      3) Yes, it is installed and it has always worked properly, but since this morning when I click on "Turn On," it's as if I hadn't clicked; nothing happens.

      So, try repairing the permissions:

      To repair the permissions
      Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/select the disk (HD) SOS menu/Repair..... let it run, it may take a while. Especially if you've never done it before!

      And, do you sometimes perform optimization with Onyx?

      You need to download Onyx according to your OS, here:

      http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php ,


      After installation
      Launch Onyx
      ?-Let it check the SMART status of the hard disk and the volume structure
      ?-then give it the password when prompted
      ?-then click on the "Automation" button ?
      ?-check all the boxes except "Display contents of folders"
      ?-click "Execute"
      ?-Restart the Mac
