I don't know about intel mac mini hardware, but it sounds as if the normal state is that the Bluetooth controller operates in what is known as HID mode, in that it is pre-paired with the keyboard (or, just finds one to talk to with no pairing) and presents to the host OS as a USB device, so they don't need to do anything about Bluetooth. But, what has happened is that the device is now in Bluetooth mode, where it presents as a full Bluetooth controller and expects the host OS to handle the connection stuff. The logfile seems to show that the keyboard has connected and is sending data which the OS does not understand, as you do not have bthidd running (or indeed, perhaps not even enabled the ubt device or paired) there is a program in ports to switch between HID and Bluetooth mode, perhaps it would be worth trying that if you did not want to configure the Bluetooth controller (which I don't really know how to do, there are examples in the list archives though) regards, iain
