No bluetooth pan mac

Bluetooth PAN interface missing

After the 10.5.7 update, it seems that I am unable to set up a bluetooth PAN service under the Network System Preferences panel. I am trying to host a PAN on my macbook, so that I can share my internet connection over bluetooth.

I was following the suggestion from JasonHuebel posted on Apr 19, 2008 8:40 AM in the above thread. I deleted the old service since it was broken, but now when I try to recreate it, there is no bluetooth PAN interface at all.

The problem appears very similar to the one reported by Ensilence on Sep 17, 2008 5:25 PM in the same thread, and I was wondering if the same thing happened: In his post, he was mentioning that the 10.5.4 update removed the interface, while the 10.5.5 update reinstated it. Could it be that the 10.5.7 update removed it again?

I have also checked on a new 13′ macbook pro running 10.5.7: it is also missing the service and the interface. So I don’t think this problem is only on my macbook.

This is very inconvenient. Is there a way to contact Apple officially and file a bug report or at least ask about the situation? (Or are these forums checked by Apple staff?) I am a newbie on the forums, so I have no idea. Or if you know a solution, I would be very grateful.

*Creating a new preferences.plist file was the most simple solution* to these two problems for me. This process BOTH recreated my Bluetooth Pan interface AND solved the issue of no Airport reconnect after system restart or wake from sleep.

Previously, I had deleted my Bluetooth Pan interface while testing tethering and didn’t know how to get it back. I don’t believe the version update of the OS matters. The System Preferences/Network settings need to be reset.

Recently, I also created the Airport reconnect problem for myself when I disabled my wireless SSID broadcast on my wireless network. My macbook running 10.5.8 would not reconnect itself after reboot or sleep. The one thing I tried that *solved both the Bluetooth Pan and Airport reconnect issues for me was to delete the preferences.plist file and then let OS X recreate it*:

Before starting, go to System Preferences/Sharing and take note of your «Computer Name». If needed, this is the name of your mac as seen on your network. The following procedure cleared my «Computer Name» and I had to reenter it.

1. Go to the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder/directory to locate your preferences.plist file.

2. Backup copy and then move, delete or rename your preferences.plist file. It will prompt you for your admin password to delete it. You can always copy your backup of this file back into this directory to go back to your old settings.

3. Restart your OS X system. On reboot, OS X will recreate the preferences.plist file and *will reset your System Preferences/Network settings*.

4. *You should now see the «Bluetooth Pan» interface listed in the System Preferences/Network settings after the reset*. You will also have to reconnect to your wireless network. In my case, I had to to reconnect to my hidden SSID network using the «Join Other Network. » option under Airport and save my settings. After testing, *your mac should now reconnect to your network upon reboot or wake from sleep*. At least it worked on mine.

You can always copy the backup of your preferences.plist file into the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder/directory to go back to your previous settings. Don’t forget to restart your system.

This process resets ALL the different types of network connection interfaces listed if any had been deleted in System Preferences/Network settings. You should again see Airport, Bluetooth, Ethernet, FireWire, and Bluetooth Pan if they previously existed and were deleted on your system.

Don’t forget, this will also clear your network «Computer Name» found in the System Preferences/Sharing settings. If needed, you will need to reenter your computer name to be seen on your network.

Bluetooth Pan is missing on new Macbook Pro 14 with MacOS 12.0.1 Monterey

I’m trying to follow the instructions here Use a mobile phone to connect your Mac to the internet — Apple Atbalsts (LV) to connect to the internet on my mac via Bluetooth PAN.

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Network , then click Bluetooth PAN in the list on the left.

If Bluetooth PAN isn’t available, click the Add button , click the Interface pop-up menu, then choose Bluetooth PAN.

The Network pane doesn’t have a Bluetooth PAN option

And the + button doesn’t have a Bluetooth PAN option either

How can I get the Bluetooth PAN to show up?

MacBook Pro 2012 & bluetooth I’m using MacBook Pro 2012. How can I connect with bluetooth. I already tried few ways but still doen’t work it. so isn’t possible to connect with bluetooth in 2012 Mac??

You can’t open the “Bluetooth” preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time. I have MacBook Pro 2012 (mid) running on Catalina. I’m unable to use Bluetooth since the update, can’t even debug. Any Solution?

Bluetooth unavailable Bluetooth is not available on Macbook Air — Catalina. I am having trouble making it work again. Does anyone have any advice?

I have the same issue on my MBA M1.

I am able to pair my phone via bluetooth to my older macbook so I’m sure it’s not a carrier issue.

I have also reset my MBA M1 and it did not resolve the issue.

Hey Rob, thanks for replying

The issue isn’t with my phone or carrier, it’s with the Macbook Pro. There’s no Bluetooth Interface on the Mac for me to even attempt to connect to Bluetooth on my phone. Bluetooth PAN should be available as one of the Interface dropdown menu options, but it’s not there.

You can see from Sasdee’s response https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253312557?answerId=256224054022#256224054022 that it isn’t carrier or device specific, instead it’s an issue with the Macbook’s software

They told me that it’s a known issue with Monterey and they’re working it. Bluetooth tethering worked just fine on Big Sur

Have the same issue. PAN connection not even an option.

I use this all the time on long haul trains to pair two internet sources to the Mac.

I then bond the services using Speedify.com. As each service is with a different carrier tower handoff rarely occurs at the same time and I get a perfectly stable and fast bonded internet connection when all the other passengers don’t even bother trying to connect inside a tin can going 110kms.

For now I have to plug one source in via USB.

I wouldn’t complain about wires but this is a $6k computer. For that money, I expect far better than this.

Lift your game and prioritise this issue Apple.

Anyone in the live streaming business who uses bonded connections will be having this issue.

You make computers for media professionals. You need to think of uncommon edge-case uses like bonded streaming if that is your target market.

Некоторые пользователи macOS 12 Monterey сообщают об отсутствии опции Bluetooth PAN

Некоторые пользователи macOS Monterey теперь сообщают об еще одной проблеме с ОС, которая не позволяет им подключиться к сети Bluetooth PAN.

Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network) используется для поиска подключения к Интернету на Mac или MacBook с помощью Bluetooth-совместимого устройства, такого как iPhone или iPad.

Bluetooth PAN отсутствует на macOS Monterey

Однако некоторые пользователи жалуются, что эта функция пропала после обновления до macOS Monterey.

В результате пострадавшие перешли на Reddit и форум Apple , чтобы подать жалобу, и вот несколько отчетов для справки:

( Источник )

Я использую недавно купленный MBA 2020 M1. Я использовал Bluetooth PAN для совместного использования интернет-соединения на предыдущих устройствах (MBP 2017). Но на M1 MBA 2021 года этот параметр не отображается в разделе «Сети» в системных настройках. Выбираю значок +, его там тоже нет. Он был удален? Я недавно обновился до Монтерея, но не уверен, что он доступен и на Биг-Суре. ( Источник )

У меня точно такая же проблема с моим MacBook M1 pro: в сетевых настройках нет панорамирования bluetooth. У iPhone не будет персональной точки доступа через Bluetooth. «MacBook Pro 2021 не поддерживается». Персональная точка доступа отлично работает через USB и WIFI, поэтому проблема с bluetooth в новых MacBook. Долгое время звонил в службу поддержки Apple, и мне сказали, что модем Bluetooth не поддерживается только на Mac на Windows ?! ( Источник )

Пользователи говорят, что соединение PAN даже не вариант на macOS Monterey. Раньше эта функция была доступна из двух разных источников: прямой параметр «Bluetooth PAN» в настройках сети и параметр «+».

Но теперь пользователи говорят, что Apple удалила эту функцию в последней версии macOS. Однако до сих пор неясно, была ли эта функция удалена или это ошибка программного обеспечения.

Проблема еще не подтверждена, но есть решение.

Обходной путь здесь-либо использовать другой источник Интернета, либо подключить телефон через USB. Хотя это сделает работу, беспроводное соединение станет более удобным.

Отсутствие Bluetooth PAN в macOS Monterey расстраивает, поскольку пользователи не могут использовать одну простую функцию, заплатив много денег. Эта функция легко доступна в любых более дешевых ноутбуках без каких-либо проблем.

К сожалению, Apple еще не подтвердила, является ли это ошибкой или предполагаемым поведением. И всякий раз, когда они это сделают, мы сообщим вам, обновив место внизу последней информацией.

У нас есть специальный трекер для macOS Monterey, в котором собраны все последние новости и текущие ошибки, связанные с последней версией macOS от Apple.

Примечание. У нас есть больше таких историй в нашем специальном разделе Apple, поэтому обязательно следите за ними.
