i had to repair my disk in OSX. for some reason everything was fixed and i came back into OSX and everything seems perfect. everything except my bluetooth apple mouse and keyboard dont work anymore. i go to system preferences and click bluetooth and its just blank. i then go to "keyboard & mouses" and under blutetooth tab, my previously working mouse and keyboard are no longer there. i tried to set up new device but the bluetooth setup assistant doesn't do anything when i click it ...

what is going on? anyone else have this problem or a solution to get my bluetooth working again?

the weird thing is when im in xp it works. also i have refit installed to choose my startup disk and my keyboard works there too ... so i know my bluetooth hardware wise should still be working ... PLEASE HELP ME

Call Apple tech support. They have always been extremely helpful when I called them. If you don't have phone support, make an appointment at the Genius Bar. Even if they can't find a solution, at least you'll be sure that you tried everything before finally reformatting and reinstalling OS X. Apple's tech support is unparalleled, take advantage of it.
