I did something idiotic and I need help fixing it

[jamesryanbell]

I was going through my system preferences on my Mini and accidentally turned off Bluetooth. My mouse and keyboard are both bluetooth and I don't have anything USB. Is there a way to restart the computer where it's on by default or something? I really don't want to hear "borrow a USB keyboard/mouse", but that's the only thing I can think of. (I'm typing this from my Air)

Thanks.

I'm wondering if you can go into the Mini in Target Disk Mode and change a setting like that?

Probably easier and safer just to do the USB mouse thing, though.

How would I go about trying that?

I think I've done this before actually. There must be a shortcut to force the bluetooth back on... I'll look

I would thoroughly appreciate any help.

I fixed it! Went into finder, and the Mini showed up under shared devices. I then did a screen share and controlled the Mini with the keyboard/trackpad from my Air and turned it back on.

Do you know if you have remote management/login enabled? If you do, you can try using VNC to remote desktop from your air.

Edit: you beat me to it I see.
