Bluetooth - any hope for file transfer in near future???

Hi,
Presently iPhone 4 does not allow bluetooth file transfer to other mobile devices and even my PC.
I am not interested in illegal music/video transfer but genuinely transferring my data files between pc and other mobile devices and use it like a mobile storage device. I don't like the idea of mailing my file and then downloading it again when I have both devices in my hand! It's not helpful when other devices do not have internet connection or limited internet usage.
Please let me know if apple policies would allow it to make file transfer possible in near future (except music and video). Otherwise it would greatly reduce its usability for me.
*I hate its file storing and transferring features.*
*Another reason for hating iPhone is 'Flash'.*
Apart from this, its simply superb.

Why is something so simple its available on 10 year old Nokia 3310 bricks not available on an iPhone. Its ridiculous.
Because there is nowhere to put the files on an iPhone. There is no common file storage area on an iPhone that all apps can access. Each app sits in a sandbox for security purposes. Each app can only access its own files. You would have to have an app running where the files would go, and then the files would only be available to that app.
The old Nokia has a common file area and does not have the security the iPhone does, but then 10 years ago you probably did not need the security.

Bluetooth not working for file transfer between Macs

I just got a MacBook Pro, with OS 10.6.1. My desktop is the iMac 2.66Ghz Intel with 10.5.8. I cannot get Bluetooth file transfers to work between the two.
I've got file sharing turned on for both machines. I've got all the frakkin' folders I need to transfer added to the file sharing list and all are set to "read & write" permission for every user I see in the list. Both machines can discover and seemingly connect to each other in Bluetooth.
However, I cannot send files between them; the connection just times out. I turned off the firewall on both machines. I've got file-sharing allowed on both machines. But the Macbook insists on only seeing the "public" folder on my iMac, but won't accept any files from it, and vice versa. I can't see anything on my iMac (and vice versa); I can't browse, I can't send.
I don't want to use the Migration -- I don't want to transfer everything under the sun to the laptop (and why in the WORLD Migration doesn't allow one to pick & choose what you want to migrate is beyond me), just specific files. Using my regular wireless connection, it's going to take over 6 hours. I want to get Bluetooth working -- it's irritating enough that the Firewire ports between my two Macs aren't the same type, so I can't use my existing firewire cable to do it, but this issue with Bluetooth is driving me up the wall.
Any suggestions? I've tried searching this forum, but can't seem to find anything that would fit my specific problem, and all the KB docs I've found, I've followed. HELP!

HI Chris,
Sharing files using Bluetooth
To share files using Bluetooth, you first need to make sure Bluetooth is turned on, and then use Bluetooth File Exchange to send a file.
To turn on Bluetooth:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Bluetooth.
Select the On checkbox. To allow other Bluetooth enabled devices to “discover” your computer and send files, also select the Discoverable checkbox.
Select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar” so you can quickly send files and perform other actions using the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
To send files using Bluetooth:
Choose Send File from the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
If the Bluetooth menu isn’t visible, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Bluetooth, and select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar.”
In the window that appears, select the file you want to send and click Send.
Select the device you want to send the file to and click Send.
If you don’t see the device you want to send the file to, make sure the device has Bluetooth turned on and is discoverable.
You do not need File Sharing turned on for Bluetooth technology.
Another way to share files between two Macs is How to use Firewire Target Disk Mode

Any hope for syncing a "LG Dare" (Verizon)

Well as i'm sure many of you have seen the new "3G iPhone Competitor" will be released on verizon this week. any hope for syncing with iCal and or Contacts?
Please don't rip on me for this I just cannot afford a plan on ATT.

This is great... I got my music on my dare even under the "My Music" Folder on the phone using the method above (Bluetooth Exchange)....
one problem...
theres no way to get it off after you do that.... if you try to delete songs off your phone via Bluetooth Exchange it says "Last Operation Failed Bad Request..."
and of course theres no way to delete them from the phone... that would be too simple (thanks LG)
and since I have a mac....
i cant use the verizon sync program to get them off...
so for now i only have 4 songs on my Dare... but they are on my internal memory... perhaps... eternally.
Please reply if you have any advice...
maybe i missed something ...

Any hope for a 5c retrieved from water immediately?

Is there any hope for a iPhone 5c that was dropped in the water? Put it in rice for 18 hours and it started up. Shut it down and tried a little later and NOTHING.

Overnight may be enough if it was a splash of water (ie: you left the phone near a sink while washing dishes, forgot to dry your hands before touching it, and some water got in the dock connector/headphone jack), but if it was fully submerged and was powered on at the time, odds are it's been damaged already. It may power on and seem fine after a week, but it's very likely you will need to replace it much sooner than you'd expected.
Apple will replace it for a fee ($269 is the cost listed here for Out-of-Warranty service).

Steps for File Transfer through FTPS...!!!

Hi ,
Can anyone please tell the steps for file transfer with FTPS.
Does PI file adapter has bulilt in feauture to handle this? or
Do we need to deploy anything to handle this?
Do we need to install any certificates by requesting from partner or It will do the encryptions/authentications on its own?
Any additional Steps we need to mention in File receiver adapter while we send the file through FTPS?
File is going through port 1090(unsecure connection) but it is not going through port (990) which is a secure connection.
Please suggest me.
Thanks
Krupakar

Hi Shabarish,
We got the certificate from the partner and loaded into the trusted CA's. I tried running by giving
Connectivity Security as "FTPS for Control and Data Connection" and Command Order as "AUTH TLS,USER,PASS,PBSZ,PROT"
Ip: XXX.YY.YY.ZZZ
Port: 990
User and pwd.
and I am getting the same below error
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: iaik.security.ssl.SSLCertificateException: Peer certificate rejected by ChainVerifier
I tried by selecting different options like
1. Without selecting the X509 certificate for client authentication.
2. Keystore as TRUSTED\view\entry-cert
X509 certificate and private key as TRUSTED\view\entry-cert
3. Keystore as TRUSTED\view
X509 certificate and private key as TRUSTED\entry-cert
4.Keystore as "view"
X509 certificate and private key as "entry-cert"
Please help me in this.
Thanks

Any hope for music folders on the ipod Touch?

Hi All
It is getting VERY difficult to manage my music on my 32 Gb iPod Touch. I have hundreds of playlists (for example one playlist for every version of a classical piece; on playlist for a pop album, etc. etc.)
Is there any hope for music folders as in iTunes on the Touch?
ed

Why do you have a playlist for every album? If your tracks are tagged properly, you can just use the album menu on the Touch.
As for when/if there will be folders on the Touch, the only people who know are probably working under non-disclosure agreements. Who knows what will change when version 2.0 of the software comes out next month.
Best of luck.

Any hope for Powermac G4 400 mhz?

I have GB running on a Powermac G4 400 mhz and, not surprisingly, it gives me the "disk too slow" message after more than 3 or 4 tracks. Without investing too much $, is there any hope for upgrading this to a more workable solution for GB, or would I be better off going to a mini w/1.42 Ghz? I'm concerned that the mini might not work that much better.

I'll offer an opinion...
If you can slip a Mini and an external FireWire drive into your budget, that's the way I would go (If you're willing to turn a screwdriver and shop around online for a few weeks, a nice sized FW drive and enclosure can be purchased separately for a total under $100. For some more money a very nice sized drive can be had)
The weakest link in the Mini is the very slow HD it has. Add the FW drive and you'll have a lot more machine than I use as my recording machine in the studio (800Mc iBook)
Naturally it depends how far/hard you plan to go/push.
Effects and software instruments are very processor intensive. Audio is mostly HD intensive.

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th gen that went through the washing machine?

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th Gen that went through the washing machine? All of the devices contents are showing up in iTunes when connected but the device itself is not working.

Hello kpratta,
There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:
www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
Hope this helps.

Any hope for a liquified macbook?

Water was spilled on my Macbook last night. Once it had a few hours to dry, I powered it on. Sadly, when I got to the main log-in screen, everything was frozen... from the mouse to the keyboard. Any hope for this Macbook?

Hi
With any liquid damage you run the risk of corroding internal components. Depending on where the spillage was and which direction the liquid 'ran' there's the potential of 'shorting' the smaller yet crucial components. Your next problem is the cost or repair. If the the MacBook is still under warranty it won't be covered for accidental or willful damage. Additionally the price of the replacement part is at least one/third more expensive than the cost of an exchange part. Apple keep the prices down on components that fail using an exchange system. If there's damage to the component for whatever reason the part would be replaced with a completely new part.
I would pursue an insurance claim if I was you. Most standard house insurance policies will cover individual items up to a certain price.
HTH?

Which protocol we should use for file transfer in ios ?

My friend that's definitively a Lotus Domino question, you'll probably ask in the Domino's forums if it generates wsdl, or simple http services you're ready to consume those services in Flex.

Any hope for Spaces working in PSE 8.0?

I just discovered the power of using Spaces in OS X 10.6.2, and was disappointed to find that PSE 8 is the only program I regularly use that doesn't support this feature. Any hope for this bug being fixed in future updates?

Hi,
I just checked on OS X 10.6.2 that PSE 8 is functional and support the Spaces feature. It is working for me.
Are you observing any specific problem?
Thanks,

The error is reported in one note only, and it seems it is not applied to your current setup. I would suggest you log a SR to confirm if you need to apply patch 4653217 or not.

I accidentally washed my iPod nano. Is there any hope for it?

I stuck my iPod nano in my pocket, and yes, forgot to take it out before my sister washed our clothes. Right after it got washed, I plugged it in to my computer, and it did turn on, just with a little distortion on the screen. It has been about a month now though, and the iPod won't turn on at all, even when it is plugged in. But iTunes recongizes that the iPod is plugged in.
Is there any hope for my iPod, or would it be better just to save for a new one?

I think that when you turned it on after it was washed, that was the end. If it's been a month and won't turn on, I would assume it probably won't ever. Start saving your money. Apple has refurbished models that carry the same warranty as new units and they are $50 less. Check these out:

I was thrown in the pool with my phone in my pocket. I was in the pool for a minute or two. I got out dried it off and stuck it in rice. Is there any hope for my hope? If not, is there a way to fix it?

What a colossally bad idea! To anyone reading this thread DO NOT DO THIS!!! Once anyone other than an Apple Authorized Service Provider (and that doesn't automatically mean your carrier, just FYI) opens up the device, then ALL options from Apple are gone, permanently.

I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

Probably not. First of all, 48 hours is not enough. 5-7 days is better. Secondly, if you did not turn it off the very instant you retrieved it, it probably did worse damage. Even if it powers on, it's very unlikely it will function 100%.
