If you want to connect Bluetooth PAN with your iMac Mojave, you may be out of luck. Several sources indicate that Apple removed the built-in ability to use Bluetooth PAN in macOS 12.x (Monterey). However, if you are using an older macOS version, you may still be able to connect Bluetooth PAN with your iMac Mojave. Here's an introduction to help you get started. First, ensure that Bluetooth is turned on both on your iMac and the device you want to connect to. Then, go to System Preferences > Network and click on Bluetooth PAN in the list on the left. If Bluetooth PAN isn't visible, click the + or Add button and choose Bluetooth PAN from the interface pop-up menu. Finally, select your device from the list and click Connect.

What You'll Learn
Ensure Bluetooth is turned on
To ensure Bluetooth is turned on, start by checking if your Mac supports Bluetooth. You can do this by looking for the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar at the top of your screen. If you don't see the Bluetooth icon, you can activate it by going to "System Preferences" and then selecting "Bluetooth".
Once you've located the Bluetooth icon, click on it to access the Bluetooth settings. Here, you can turn on Bluetooth if it's not already enabled. Make sure your device is within 30 feet of your Mac and avoid any interference from household devices such as cordless phones, baby monitors, microwaves, wireless networks using the same 2.4 GHz band, and metal objects. These can interfere with the Bluetooth connection.
If you're having trouble connecting a Bluetooth device, try restarting your Mac. Click on the Bluetooth icon, choose "Turn Bluetooth Off", and then turn it back on. If that doesn't work, disconnect all your USB and Bluetooth devices and then reconnect them. Go to "System Settings", select "Bluetooth", hover over the device, and click "Disconnect".
It's important to note that Apple has removed the built-in ability to use Bluetooth PAN on macOS Monterey and later versions. This means that you might not be able to use Bluetooth PAN to connect your iPhone or other devices to your Mac. However, you can still use Bluetooth to connect to other types of devices, such as keyboards, mice, and speakers.
