I just finished my install of a new system, based off the current CustoMac Mini Buyer's guide using:
GA-H87N-WIFI
i3-4330
I was able to successfully install 10.9.2, but now I can't seem to get my apple keyboard to pair with the built-in bluetooth card.
When the computer first starts up, the Bluetooth menu item has a strike through it and simply says "Bluetooth: Not Available". Sometimes, if I let it sit for 30 seconds or so the strikethrough disappears. If it doesn't disappear, I trash com.apple.Bluetooth.plist, use DPCIManager to rebuild cache, and restart. Sometimes the next boot's bluetooth is active after 30 seconds, sometimes not.
If Bluetooth is active, I go to the Bluetooth Preferences and click the power button on the keyboard. Immediately, I get a pairing request popup for a "peripheral", but any key presses I make aren't recognized by the computer. If I cancel the pairing and hit the keyboard's power button again it pop's up another pairing request, but this time for "archbishop's keyboard" but still key presses aren't recognized by the computer. If I repeatedly cancel and retry to pair the key presses are usually recognized eventually and I am able to pair and use the keyboard. But I get wiped back to square one, if I restart.
I find all of this perplexing, especially the inconsistency of the responses. Can anyone offer any help or insight into what could be causing this?
Thanks
n.b. I am using the antenna that was included with the MB and setting less than 5 feet from computer as I try this.
