Why am I having bluetooth & wifi issues?

I just purchased a brand new 2012 Mac Mini i7 last week from Microcenter. I immediately installed 16 GB RAM into it and updated it to Yosemite. My magic mouse has been unbearably laggy every single day, and sometimes it disconnects randomly for no reason. I also have bluetooth speakers and a wireless keyboard hooked up too. Today, Wifi dropped every 30 seconds and I had to pull out my old MBP for work. After looking through the other product forums, it's clear that Yosemite is to blame, as this is clearly happening on other devices too. I'm thinking about returning my mac and making the jump to windows/ubuntu just so I don't have to deal with this nonsense every time there's a software update. It feels like snow leopard all over again.

Erase and reinstall Yosemite, check the installation before you put the 3rd party stuff back.
This comment is not helpful. As you can see from my original post, I clearly understand the 2012 mac mini is not a new machine.The purpose of mentioning that I bought it new is to let it be known that it has never been used. There is no "3rd party stuff" in this machine, except RAM, which Apple allows to be installed via making the RAM removable in the first place. It is not the RAM causing these problems. All of the other product forums are having the same issues, I just wanted to get a thread going for 2012 mac mini owners to support the fact that it's a Yosemite issue.

Anyone having Bluetooth syncing issues w VW Tiquan11... and iPhone4? Essentially the pairing craps out every other time when you connect to the cars bluetooth. Requires rebooting iPhone, power off/on and then connects..

Anyone having Bluetooth syncing issues w VW Tiquan11... and iPhone4? Essentially the pairing craps out every other time when you connect to the cars bluetooth. Requires rebooting iPhone, power off/on and then connects..

Many people are finding their Iphone 4S drops connection with their VW (Passat etc) integrated bluetooth hands free system after working fine for 5, 10, 20 minutes. The only way to reconnect is to switch the car off or turn the Iphone bluetooth off & back on.
This is a dangerous fault and it appears that both Apple & VW have no solution (or are ignoring as they have already sold you a phone & a car).

Why am i having data dropping issues

I have typical data problems when im in doors but the most biggest problem i have, that i have been having, is when i use my phone as a hotspot, the data will drop and come back and it does it alot....some times i have to turn the hotspot off or turn my phone off and turn it back on trying to resolve the problem but sometimes it fixes but most of the time the problem keeps happening as long as im using my phone as a hotspot...i use it to connect my computer to the internet....I would like to know if the problem can be fixed, is it a hardware problem or is it a program or driver/ something that is effecting the way the radio works on the phone...plus my battery drains pretty quick just using it normal...i really am starting to not like the phone and it is because of this issue, i need it addresses and hopefully i will receive a fix.....samsung galaxy s 3

I will try removing the sim card.....If im using the hotspot and again it goes to doing the same thing as before, i will know that the sim card was not the problem....The battery thing is not so much a problem because i have an extra battery if need to change it...So that is really not such a bad problem....I just know that i can have a good signal with 4g or 3g and it vanishes to nothing, then comes back and then goes away again. It does this alot of times. If i turn off the hotspot, the signal will be ok...the problem usually happens when i use hotspot. I cannot imagine that u have never heard of this problem before, when i see alot of comments concerning this problem. I have even google online to see if others have the same problem, which i have found out many have the same problem as i am having with the radio part...If i have a good signal area and the signal just vanishes for unknown reasons, then it has nothing to do with a zipcode area, because it happens again in areas with the best signals...it just drops and vanishes, either the 4g or 3g...I think if you research this problem, you will see that there is more that is having this problem than just me...I think it has something to do with the build on this phone, I have not had this problem with any other phones that i have had....Like i said, i will try the sim card. thank you norman

After Downloading Mountain Lion IMAC is having bluetooth sleep issues.

After downloading Mountain Lion my 21" IMAC is fine untill it goes into sleep mode for an extended period of time. When I try to wake the IMAC with the Bluetooth keyboard or mouse it will not wake up. I have to hold the power button down for 5 seconds. This does not happen untill the IMAC has been in sleep mode for a wihile (I don't know the amount of time) but if I am at the IMAC and it goes into sleep I and wake it with know problem it has to sleep for a while for the issue to kick in.
Thanks

Open Disk Utilities (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) and run Repair Disk Permissions and then restart the computer and retest.

Why i am having bluetooth problemin new iphone 4

do you guys also having same problem?

There is no "technical" solution. iPhone's do not have the Bluetooth file transfer protocols for transferring pics and songs directly.
As I said, there are apps that allow specific uses of Bluetooth, so type "Bluetooth photo share" into the AppStore search box for some apps specifically for sending photos.
You cannot share songs by Bluetooth (it's illegal anyway unless they are songs you have written and composed yourself)

Why am I having so many issues, should have stayed...

Hi all, I had infinity installed last month with a promised 55/20 upload download, the first installation guy came fitted it and left and my speeds were awful, a week later another engineer came from BT and re did all the previous engineers work, after not getting any better speed increase he went away shaking his head, he said I was synced at 54mbps at the router but I'm only getting 12mbps d/l and 5.5mbps u/l on a good day, BT contacted me by phone and replaced my router to the home hub type B, and still no speed increase this was two weeks ago and the promised return call has not arrived, what is going on? i have totally new BT wiring in the house a new home hub expected speeds of 55/20 and I'm not near that at any time of the day or night, weather I'm the only one using the Internet or not, where do i go from here ?
As a side note with sky my samsung galaxy s2 would always keep hold of the wireless signal now it drops it all the time and I'm incurring more data charges, the same goes for the wife's iphone5, laptops etc are not affected,
At the moment i wish id stayed with sky...

if your cabinet is only 100m away from your home then I would expect a down speed of nearer 75mb not 55mb - degradation is not that bad. maybe that is not your cabinet - is that possible?
Have to agree, I am about 450/500metres away from the cabinet and stiil advised that I should get 58Mb. If you are only 100m away from the cabinet you should/would be getting more that what you state .

I downloaded IOS 6 on both my iphone and ipad. Both are having severe wifi issues. Most of the time it will not connect.

Since installing IOS 6 on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 2, my wifi only works sporadically. If I reboot, it will work a while. Definitely did not have a problem until IOS 6. This needs to be fixed promptly so that users are not charged more by their carriers for not using wifi.

I for one at least am not experiencing Wi-Fi dropping on iOS 6.
Try this..
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You may need to enter your network password.
Then restart the devices.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
And try turning off your router for about 5 minutes, turn it back on.

Which iPhone6 cell service providers are having this wifi issue, me i have AT&T

Im just curious as to if its a scattered wifi problem with different cell service providers or if its based to mostly one or two or all the cell service providers.
me i have 3 AT&T original bad wifi iPhone 6's and one replacement iPhone 6 that is also bad, all with AT&T

Uninstall all HP software! Then follow the directions Apple provide ito install a printer, you can find them by clicking Wireless Printer Install

Is anyone else having bluetooth control issues in a Toyota on iOS 7?

I Have a 2012 Camry and ever since I updated I haven't been able to use the steering wheel controls or anything. I have to actually use the phone which is NOT safe! Any fix for it or am I stuck waiting for an update to fix it? I have already un-paired, re-paired, deleted and re-sync'd. Any suggestions?

Hi jmg flying solo,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

Why am i having sim card issues

This happened before, but stopped. Now it is back with a vengeance

You have not given any information about your problem. Possibly your SIM is bad, and you will have to Visit Carrier for a new SIM. But before that try Toggling ON and OFF Airplane Mode, obviously leaving it OFF. Try Reset Network Settings, click App Settings>click General>at bottom click Reset>click Reset Network Settings. If this does not work take a Paper Clip open SIM Tray and then slide SIM Tray back in securely. If all fails you could try a Firmware Restore in iTunes. If this fails Visit Carrier.

Note 3 having Wifi issues

Hi all,
I have been having awful Wifi issues with my Note 3, and I've been reading similar reports elsewhere on the web. My bed is less than ten feet from my Wifi router, and yet I regularly get the "connection is unstable" notification and it drops.
I am just a few days outside of the 14 day return period. Is there any way I can swap to a phone with more reliable connectivity?
Thanks!

We appreciate the additional details relating to your device Pfhortune! The next best step would be to complete a hard reset on the device to restore the settings back to the manufacturer recommended functionality. Please keep us posted once this is completed, thanks!

Iphone 5s have wifi issue after upgraded to ios8.

Iphone 5S have wifi issue afetr upgraded to IOS 8. Does Apple know about this?? Its really frustrating the signal is weak.

If you look at google there are some problems with ios8 and it happens to be wifi issue for me.
If I look at google, I will find that people reporting problems with every version of iOS. And accounts of being abducted by aliens. Just because you are having a WiFi issue does not necessarily mean the issue is with iOS 8 (correlation does not prove causality). Until you've done proper trouble shooting (or had Apple do it for you if you don't feel equipped), it's almost impossible to say why you are having a problem.
My iPhone 5S is not having any issues with iOS 8.

WiFi issues with Curve 8530

Hi,
I am having major WiFi issues with my Curve 8530. Everytime I connect to my wireless router, it takes a long time to connect to BIS, and then if I try to use basically any data at all, my router drops my Curve 8530. Sometimes it stays connected, but I cannot use App World at all, and email, and web browsing is all over the place in terms of speed, sometimes it is fast, while sometimes it is slow, and most of the time it stalls while loading a page. How do I configure my router for use with BIS and have it not drop my Curve 8530 everytime I use data over WiFi? BIS works perfectly over my cellular carriers network, so BIS is activated on my device. I have tried giving my BB a static IP, but that did not solve anything. My router is a Netgear WNR2000. Also, I have the latest device software installed on my BB, and all of my apps are up-to-date.

Hi,
Have you had any luck and resolving your problem?
We have a similar problem but it's with iOS devices where only one can connect at a time. We have about 10 that need to connect. All other laptops and tablets connect fine.
Power cycling the AX411 fixes it temporarly.

Bluetooth Mouse Issues

Anybody having bluetooth connectivity issues after devices are paired? Periodically, my mouse stops working and I have to turn it off and back on for it to reconnect. Mouse doesn't do this when paired with my old Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop.-bp

Hi All, I have been experiencing this random disconnect problem as well. Sometimes it came good and then sometimes I had to remove and reinstall the same as everyone else.
My problem is with a Logitech V470 mouse. <o:p></o:p>
Recently the symptoms changed and it became a permanent device instead of a bluetooth connected device. <o:p></o:p>
Furthermore, it couldn't be removed at all. The only way to remove it was to uninstall all of the Bluetooth module drivers. When the system rebooted,
it again loaded as a permanent device along with printers. Please note I'm talking about it being fully connected but not functioning whether it was turned on or off (present or not present). I wondered what had changed this time to make this significant
change in behaviour. Okay time to roll-back updates and go to a previous restore point/s. Guess what, problem solved! I had to go back two restore points to fix the problem. What was it, it was a JAVASCRIPT auto update!<o:p></o:p>
Once I past (rolled back) the most recent Javascript update the mouse returned to a bluetooth connected device and I could disconnect and reconnect. Javascript
changed the way this device was being recognised and connected.
JAVASCRIPT is underlying all of these problems of connection. Roll it back and suddenly you'll have control again! Hopefully Oracle will soon fix
this, until then, I'm disabling updates of JAVA.<o:p></o:p>

Hello atharil,
