MacBooks Experiencing Bluetooth Problems

Posted by kdawson on from the don't-sleep-too-good-either dept.

flowolf writes in with news that Apple seems to be having difficulty getting to grips with a Bluetooth problem on MacBooks. Bluetooth goes unavailable intermittently from what users are assuming is a hardware problem, and while it's out the machines won't stay in sleep mode. Complaints started last spring on the Apple forum, which is still quite active. Many people have had to send their MacBooks for repair more than once without a satisfactory resolution.

  1. Safari's acting up recently too by Deacon_Yermouf · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I don't know about anyone else, but it seems to me that the recent round of updates has done something to slow Safari. Some sites hang, seemingly at random. I open the same sites in Firefox, and they load just as quickly as they used to. Other people I've talked to seem to have the same problem... I wonder if it's widespread.
