It's an especially annoying behavior!Īs long as I hadn't original ist from El Capitan with properly paired mouse (that reconnects in Sierra as well if paired in ElCap) I decided that that must had been a reason - broken. Just for a hint: Arc Touch BT Mouse increments its BT device id every time it gets re-paired. Which is a shame, I personally really like this one. My guess is that either Apple accidentally introduced a bug (though it's weird it only affects a small number of devices), or more likely, the mice don't fully conform with the guidelines ( ) and Apple went stricter on it.Įither way, I suppose we'll all be in the market for new mice. The question is: why do some devices stay remembered by the OS while others don't? If they didn't, they would most likely be stored in the hard drive, which would open the doors for further manipulation (in hopes to attempt a workaround). What I haven't tried yet is to pair the devices in another macOS/hard-drive, delete the plists, reset SMC and NVRAM and check if they'd still show up in Sierra. Some information (device's id, but not name for instance) survives SMC and NVRAM resets even when those known plist have been deleted. Yeah it stores it, haven't figured out where though. As the screenshot shows, it's easy to edit that information in, though it doesn't change its behavior. On a related note, I noticed the Microsoft Arc Touch isn't detected as mouse in El Capitan either. I suppose it's safe to assume macOS is storing the information it works with somewhere else.

Modifying them will change the information displayed in the bluetooth devices list (both the one in the top menu & system information), but doesn't actually influence the Bluetooth connections. My understanding is that those plist are merely a cache.

Not only its MAC still appeared in the Bluetooth devices list, the keyboard connected. Using a different (working) Bluetooth peripheral (Microsoft Wedge Mobile keyboard), I've paired it in Sierra, turned it off, then deleted all *.plist, finally rebooted back into Sierra.Result: Mouse was fully functional for the first boot. Booted El Capitan from an external drive, paired the mouse there, deleted all *.plist from Sierra.The fact it worked for the first boot was not because you edited the information in from El Capitan.
But it was too much of a time waste without any chance for a fix.įinally, either I was doing the wrong way or there are real problems with bluetooth daemon in Sierra where communication between a device and an OS leads to errors that can't be fixed by modifying or resetting Bluetooth settings.Īre you still trying to figure it out? I've been poking around a bit this weekend.įrom what I can tell, the reason it didn't work is because macOS stores the paired devices' information somewhere else. There were some problems noted in the log-file.
I examined logs with Bluetooth logging turned on. The next time the mouse couldn't reconnect and could only be paired to get it to work. I need to check it, whether it has been solved or not.Īs a result my Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse could be paired and could work unless I shutdown or sleep my mac. All I could do with wifi was to reconnect or off it and on then. But that's another story about my wifi becomes laggy or apps lose connection while wifi is up and running or apps stay unconnected after waking the mac. I'm not quite sure if all that mess with recovery solved my wifi problems. What are my options then? Any solutions or just wait for 10.12.1?īy the way. It gets connected and reconnects every single time after reboot or mouse turning off/on.

Didn't help.Ĭhecked twice my mouse under Windows 10. (thru Shift-Option-BT_icon_click -> Debug). I removed all paired devices and reset Bluetooth module. I reinstalled once again the macOS thru Command-R.
The only way to make it back again is to remove and pair then. The mouse can be successfully connected to macOS but it never reconnects after reboot or sleep.

Then during recovery I went thru Mac OS X El Capitan to macOS Sierra step by step.Īnd after that on the freshly installed OS I got a problem with the ArcTouch Bluetooth Mouse that was previously working fine all the way in El Capitan and Sierra. I had some problems with Wifi in macOS Sierra, hence I reinstalled the macOS thru Internet Recovery (Option-Command-R) on Macbook Retina, But before that I erased user data on my harddisk.
