Bluetooth shut down. BT not available

Hi People! How are you?

The bluetooth on my new 27" i5 iMac shut down. The keyboard

and mouse stopped working. If I connect a USB keyboard

/mouse - that works.

The Bluetooth icon in the top menu bar has a ~ through it.

Clicking on it shows Bluetooth: not available.

"No information found" if I click on Bluetooth in the System

Profiler.

No bluetooth in the System Preferences pane.

I pulled the plug on the iMac and restarted it and it worked

again. But Im still weary. My Mac experience is now tarnished ;-)

Is this a HW or SW problem? I hope SW

Thanks for an answer!

Update

I have 10 + Years of PC experience. I work in a tech environment. I am tech savy. The batteries should really not be the problem. I'm not one of those non tech capable Mac users. But paying 2000 € for a computer brings with it some expectations...

I just hope it's a SW issue
