Renaming Bluetooth device not working I run 10.12.6 and I'm wondering how I can rename a Bluetooth device. The function Bluetooth Preferences &gt; Right click &gt; Rename seems to be a no-op, see below gif.



Is there a configuration file that I can edit manually with a text editor? I don't mind getting my hands dirty in .plist files and stuff.
Of course there is a .plist file to (backup and) delete.


First of all close your Mac's Bluetooth
Open Finder
From toolbar select -> Go -> Go To Folder
Copy paste this path /Library/Preferences
Locate the file com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and rename it to
com.apple.BluetoothOLD.plist
Then do the step 3 again and
Copy paste this address ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
Locate a file that starts with com.apple.Bluetooth... and rename
it.
Restart your Mac
Re-enable your Bluetooth and try again
