I have my personal Mac Mini that I use at work. I control the KVM with Synergy. However, every time I reboot, the annoying Bluetooth Setup Assistant pops up and informs me that I don’t have a mouse connected. Little does it know…
I found an article at macosxhints.com about disabling the Keyboard Setup Assistant and have taken that knowledge to disable the Bluetooth Setup Assistant. Here’s how:
- Open Terminal
- Type:
cd /System/Library/CoreServices - Type:
sudo mv Bluetooth\ Setup\ Assistant.app/ Bluetooth\ Setup\ Assistant-OFF.app/ - Reboot!
That should do the trick!
thanks for the tip… just an added note that rebooting isn’t necessary.
Not sure if this will work but it seems there is an advanced button in the Bluetooth preferences to turn off the searching for input devices when one isn’t present.
It may be a better way to fix the issue instead of moving Core System files.
I’m sure they’ve fixed it by now. In 2008, that option may not have existed. It was OS X 10.3 or 10.4 at the time.
