Please open the /Library/Extensions and /System/Library/Extensions folders and look at their contents. Even uninstallers can fail if they are not properly written. Drivers require specific uninstallers, and removing them manually typically leaves a kernel extension behind. ![]() If your device is not listed in the Status section of the USB Overdrive, it may be handled by another driver that was previously installed. To fix these problems, please read the top paragraph first and then the two paragraphs below. If you don’t see any device at all, it may mean that the USB Overdrive kernel extension was not authorized or not properly added to the system cache. If you don’t see a specific device, it means the device is being handled by another driver. If a device is handled by the USB Overdrive, you’ll see it listed there. ![]() To determine what’s going on, the first thing you want to do is check the Status section of the USB Overdrive. There are two common situations that prevent the Overdrive from handling one specific device, or any device at all. The USB Overdrive is not handling my device You should run the Installer again if the Allow button is not available and the USB Overdrive is not seeing your devices. The Allow button is only available for 30 minutes after an installation attempt. Go back to the Installer window and click Restart to complete the installation process. I have been reading about Bluetooth adapters, Bluetooth receivers, Bluetooth transmitters but I don't think they are the answer (maybe I am wrong).Click the yellow lock image at the bottom left corner and enter your administrator password to enable the Allow button, then click the Allow button to authorize the USB Overdrive. So, can we convert the Bluetooth keyboard to any Bluetooth devices to a wireless USB receiver device with some kind of converter or adapter? But this is not ideal because you end up owning duplicates of things. The only solution I can think off is to have a USB receiver wireless keyboard ready all the time for cases like this. ![]() You would need an old fashion wired keyboard or USB receiver keyboard to do that. You will need to type to install at certain stages but the Bluetooth adapter and driver are not ready until you have installed the OS. ![]() So what is the point of having it in the end?Īnother situation that the Bluetooth keyboard becomes completely useless is when the time you need to install a fresh OS system, Ubuntu for instance. What can it be done? The Bluetooth keyboard just becomes completely useless in a crisis like this. So, I had to type the command above in my email account and sent it to myself from my Surface Go so I could open it from my mini PC, copied it with USB wireless mouse and pasted in the terminal.īut what if you don't have a second machine to back you up if this situation happens to you. So I could NOT type anything on my terminal (I am using Ubuntu) to enable the Bluetooth adapter back on with the command below: sudo systemctl enable -now bluetooth I have a USB wireless mouse, fortunately. I had my Bluetooth adapter turned off by an accident from my mini PC (Skull Canyon) and I only have a Bluetooth keyboard, no wired keyboard, nor a wireless USB receiver keyboard.
