Method 1: Delete Bluetooth Preferences and Reboot Mac
  1. First, delete the current Bluetooth plist file and then create a new one.
  2. Close System Preference and any apps attempting to configure a Bluetooth device to your Mac.
  3. Now use the Finder, and press Command + Shift + G to enter the address: /Library/Preferences/
  4. Locate files, named ‘apple.Bluetooth.plist’ and ‘com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile’ and delete them. However, as they are system folders, so deleting them will need the admin permission.
  5. Switch off your Mac, then wait for a minute before rebooting.
  6. Finally, go to Bluetooth menu or System Preference Panel and sync the hardware again.
If this method fixes the problem, that means the error comes from a corrupted plist file. If this method doesn’t work, you should try another method to get the solution. Must Read:How to get voice memos off iPhone?
