If you have a Mac, it is likely that you want to connect to other devices using Bluetooth. Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to connect to other devices, such as a mouse, keyboard or a speaker without the need for wires. Turning on Bluetooth on your Mac is simple and quick. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you turn on Bluetooth.

Step 1: Open System Preferences

Click on the Apple Logo from the top left corner of the screen and select “System Preferences” from the drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can also click on the “System Preferences” icon from the Dock.

Step 2: Select Bluetooth

In the System Preferences window, locate the Bluetooth icon and click on it. This will open the Bluetooth preferences window.

Step 3: Turn on Bluetooth

In the Bluetooth preferences window, you’ll see a toggle switch at the top of the window labeled “Bluetooth: Off”. Click on the switch to turn it on. The switch will turn blue and the word “On” will appear next to it.

Step 4: Pair Devices

Now that Bluetooth is turned on, you can start pairing your devices. For a device to be discovered, it must be in “discoverable” mode.
