Need to reset Bluetooth module every time want to connect devices.

I have a Macbook pro 2020v and like many people i have always had issues with the Bluetooth connection since i bought it new.


i have followed seemingly every tutorial on youtube and in the apple community to sell fix this issue; resetting the NVRAM all the way to deleting any second-party apps that may be interfering with Bluetooth.


Like many people, once I reset everything it works yes.. but the next day i am back on the internet following tutorials about how to reset everything to do with the Bluetooth on this thing.


any suggestions guys, please help.

I cant really afford to lose my computer for weeks while it gets sent off for repairs while uni is in full swing.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

Start Here: Use "Reset the Bluetooth module" to Fix Constant Bluetooth Disconnections - User Tip


If of No Success:

Try the following, in the order provided...

  • Boot in Safe Mode:

[Hold Down: shift key, upon boot], In Safe Mode, Login Items do not run at login, certain preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are then reset. So, once booted in to Safe Mode, wait for 30 seconds, and then boot up normally, attempting another sync.


  • Try a New Admin User:

What happens when you create a new administrator user, and log int it? Do you still get this error? If not, then it is likely an error with the current user. If so, then it is likely an error with your macOS.


as a last resort...


  • Reinstall the macOS:

Go Here: How to Reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery - Apple Support

Important: First, Back Up your Mac:

Create a Time Machine backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the reinstall. Take this as a learning experience, knowing to always create a backup of your Mac, prior to making any major changes to it (i.e. update installation)
