This does not seem to work on El Capitan.

None of the solutions are working for me on Mac Sierra. The Shift + Option + Click is not showing the "Debug" option. Any other ideas?

Finally, the following worked for me:

- Remove all connected USB and other devices
- $ sudo rm -f /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
- $ rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Bluetooth.*
- Shut down
- Wait for 1 minute
- Start
