Currently have Muse open and none of...

    Bluetooth not working after RAM upgrade on iMac (late 2012)

    Installed new RAM on my late 2012 21.5" i5 Intel iMac and (besides the fact that it's the worst design for any Mac for upgrading something simple like RAM) once reassembled, I no longer have Bluetooth.
