Hello H:
These forums are not chat rooms, but since you used my name I will address your post.
Do you work for Apple?
No. These are user-to-user forums. The forums are moderated by Apple, but do not represent official responses from the company. If an Apple employee would post here (very rare), they would have either a purple apple (forum host) or a silver apple (employee) under their name.
Every post about this issue, going back to early 2009 you have made the SAME suggestion. It doesn't work.
That statement is inaccurate. If you read the posts carefully, I do not cut/paste the same suggestion to address issues. However, trying to address issues without hands-on access to devices necessarily requires one to suggest solutions that have worked in similar situations. Bluetooth issues are not rocket science and there are only a few things that are available to resolve problems. If you look at the little blue bars next to my name that represent user +"thank yous+" for suggestions that worked, I must have made a few suggestions that did work.
Like everyone else that tries to help others here, we are unpaid volunteers. If you have better sources to obtain information, I certainly recommend that you seek those sources out. If you have issues with Apple, take them up with the company. Ranting here about your particular problem is not helping anyone.
