I am fairly new to Mac computers so please help me out.
When I turned the computer on I saw that the bluetooth sign in the top right corner on my screen is blinking. Well, it's more like a battery looking something (like you would find on cell phones), that keeps flashing up behind the bluetooth sign, but that wouldn't make any sense since the computer is not battery powered. What does that mean?
Thanks for the help!

I am not trying to connect my computer with anything right now, so I am not sending any files.
Also, I can't turn it off, because I am using a bluetooth keyboard, so it has to be on. I didn't change any setting from this morning, so I am a little puzzled....
more suggestions are appreciated!!

It means the batteries in your keyboard and I assume wireless mouse are weak. Go to system preferences, keyboard and mouse and bluetooth. It will show you the relative strength of the batteries in your keyboard and mouse. Regular alkaline only last about a month, lithium maybe 3. Just replace the batteries, best bet is they are "AA".

If it's three dashes (---) behind the bluetooth B, it's usually something trying to connect, or transferring files via Bluetooth.

when the bluetooth symbol blinks....it means that is searching for or connecting to another bluetooth device...i.e. your phone, headset, remote, etc.
if you click on the symbol [on the top right of the screen] you can change the preferences or turn bluetooth off.
