After reading several other posts, I found this solution.
Install gksu if not already installed.
sudo apt-get install gksu -y
Then edit /etc/rc.local and enter this line just before the "exit=0" entry.
gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local
In gedit before the last entry, which is "exit=0", enter:
rfkill unblock bluetooth
Then reboot and you should be able to turn on bluetooth, if not already enabled after reboot.
