bluetooth dongle no longer works after upgrading to .2

[mikemodena]

I upgraded to 10.4.2 last night and now it shows I have bluetooth but when I go to connect my mouse and keyboard they never connect. I've run the add new device but it never seems to find them even though they're discoverable. I'm using a bluetooth dongle that was working fine with 10.4.1.

Remove the dongle, restart the computer, replace the dongle and then restart the computer again. Just a suggestion.

Also, try removing the batteries from your bluetooth devices and replacing them.

I have a cordless keyboard and mouse which sometimes lose their connections, I use a combination of everything, including holding down the connect button and holding the devices really close together. Bluetooth is different from RF though. Wireless can be a pain sometimes.
