I have an Imac that has bluetooth built into it.

I noticed that my bluetooth was turned on and was "discoverable." I don't use bluetooth so I turned it off. I have a wired mouse and wired keyboard.

My question is: while it was turned on, does that mean it was sending out a wireless signal from my computer, or does it need to have another bluetooth equipped device signaling it for a wireless signal to be sent out from my computer. I am wondering if my imac was sending out a wireless bluetooth signal while it was turned on.

Yes it was, but BT has such a limited range it shouldn't concern you too much.
