A number of readers have reported issues with Bluetooth connectivity after installing Mac OS X 10.3.8. MacFixIt reader Stu, for instance, writes:

"Just saw 10.3.8 up on software update. Installed it. No bluetooth after update, this on a 20" G5 iMac."

For most readers, the following procedure works to restore recognition of affected Bluetooth devices:

  1. Shutdown.
  2. Disconnect all USB devices
  3. Disconnect the iMac from all power for 1 minute.
  4. Restart.
