Can i blue tooth exchange files between a macbkpro and a pc laptop?

hi
i have a mac book pro which bluetooth file exchange with my nokia mobile phone ok....when i try to link to a pc laptop and do so....doesnt communicate..they both see each other and the mac even generated a bluetooth pin code but alas they still dont exhange.....i am trying something thats impossible?

Other than the physical external formatting, you might want to plan your Assets, so that you have the greatest compatibility between the two platforms, also. Some .MOV CODEC's can cause PrPro problems on the PC side of the street, though in general I have few problems with the ones that I get from most Macs. Same can be true for .AVI's on the Mac side.
I've swapped Projects from Mac's to my PC with no issues to date. Only hangup was the FAT-32 format for the external, because of the Mac compatibility (what Curt pointed out). File sizes have to be kept down due to that. Do not know if the newer Mac OS's can read NTSF, but I do not think so. To overcome this, you should be able to get MacDrive for the PC and use a more efficient formatting than FAT-32. I'd check into this, as a 4GB file limit comes up quickly.
In my case, I just plugged the Mac's external and copied the whole Project & media, to my 2TB NTSF externals and didn't have any problems. Never even needed MacDrive.
Good luck,

  • Is there a way to exchange files between an iPhone and a mac?

    Hi there,
    I know the iPhone does not support bluetooth (legally), but is there a way I can share files between the phone and a macbook NOT connected to the internet?
    What I need to do is the following: I use the phone for work (bad choice, I know...) and need to be able to access e-mail and send files out. I am going to be away for a couple of weeks (I am based in the UK and going to Italy) and was thinking to use the phone for e-mailing (megabucks!!!) and the macbook to do some work that will need to be subsequently e-mailed, but as the iPhone does not support (legally at least) bluetooth, is there a way to load files onto the phone? I mean, it doesn't sound like rocket science.
    I have to say, I am overall very disappointed with the iPhone as a tool to work with. Great for games, etc., but not for work. I am really tempted to toss it in the trash (or at least return it where I got it from).
    I hope you can give me some good news here...
    Besides as a general observation, I have been spending HOURS scouring the internet trying to find solutions to some basic issues I have with the iPhone... A piece of kit that is as expensive as all that should not be so difficult to use especially if all I am trying to get what would be considered a common feature in all bog standard phones, but that's another story... At least I have the digital compass and I can check stocks and shares to make me feel better...
    Thanks

    I guess I'm confused then. DocsToGo and AirShare Pro both allow you to set up an adhoc network (direct wifi-based connection between the laptop and your iPhone, no wifi router/cell data connection required). You can then pass the documents back and forth between the two devices. I prefer DocsToGo, because it also allows you to edit/sync the docs back and forth. Is this not what you want to do? You can also email the document from within DocsToGo on the iPhone if desired.
    If you want to upload/download using a service like DropBox (which will also require a data connection, either WiFi or cell-based) DocsToGo can access that cloud-based service.
    Note that I'm NOT affiliated with DocsToGo, but I did read the instructions to find out all the stuff it can do

  • How can i stream(air mirroring) *.mkv files between Mac Pro and AppleTV2 by using quicktimeX?

    How can i stream(air mirroring) *.mkv files between Mac Pro and AppleTV2 by using quicktimeX?
    As stated you can't. Even if the compressed data is TV compatible, the container is not. If the file is playback compatible with the QT X Player, you can, of course, play the file on your main system and "mirror" its display to the TV. Unfortunately, this normally means only the video is played back via the TV device. On the other hand, if you convert the MKV content to an TV compatible file (or move the compressed data to an TV compatible container if the data is already TV compatible), then you can mirror the QT X player (with audio) to the TV device in the full screen mode, air play/mirror it from iTunes (or any mobile device), or stream it directly from itunes.
    Basically, what you can do here depends on the compressed data in the MKV file container and how you define "mirroring."

  • Can I sync PDF files between my iPhone and iPad?

    Can I sync PDF files between my iPhone and iPad?

    Yes, and we will have integration with our Mobile Readers as well. We've already submitted to Apple for review, and will be live once they complete their review and approval.
    With this, we'll allow you to share files pretty easily between Desktop, Tablet and Phone across all OSes...and when you make changes, we'll automatically bring them to and from your phone/tablet! Pretty cool.

  • Problem exchanging values between a Servlet and Thread???

    Hi Everybody,
    I have got a problem exchanging values between a Servlet and a Thread...
    The actual thing will go like this
    I take a request from JSP which is served by a servlet..
    A thread is invoked in the servlets into which the parameter values taken from JSP page is sent...
    In between the thread needs to be suspended for a moment, relieve the control back to the servlet and then come back with the new values modified in the servlet...
    How is this achieved?
    Please give ur suggestions regarding this...
    Thanks in advance

    I really have no clue how you can use URLConnection to do that!
    Could you please explain in the following scenario how it can help me as an alternative solution to the following:
    Non-Servlet A continously running & saving to some prop regularly
    --> servlet B reads prop file regularly --> display continously on a jsp file
    I wish I could do a servlet A --> servlet B-- > display jsp scenario but I do not know how to have servlet A continously running while keep the servlet B interacting with the jsp.

  • How can we do the data migration between Oracle Applications and SAP R/3.

    Hi All,
    How can we do the data migration between Oracle Applications and SAP R/3 system.What are all the possible ways to move bulk data from Oracle Apps to SAP r/3 system.
    Provide any 3rd party tools which supports data migration and also pls rpovide the SAP's own data migration tools with supports the above feature.
    Awaiting for best possible solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards

    the 3rd party tool is ETL , you can use ETL tool and the prepare the load files then you can use LSMW method to upload the data to SAP.

  • I am thinking of buying a iPad but my main desktop machine uses Windows 7 and MS Office.  How easy or difficult is it to transfer data files between the iPad and Windows?  Are there obvious problems or the need for some form of conversion programs?

    Many thanks for any advice.
    David

    You don't need conversion programs, iTunes can copy most of your content over to the iPad via the file sharing section, and some apps also support Dropbox, email attachments, transfer via your wifi network. There are a number of apps that you can get that support Microsoft office file (microsoft don't make an app versions of their software) e.g. from Apple there are Pages (word support), Numbers (excel) and Keynote (powerpoint), and from third-parties there are apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD

  • Sharing files between mac os and windows on same computer???

    I am going to get a new Intel based mac. Is there a way to share files between the mac and the windows os?
    Example: I would like to share my iTunes music library from mac os so it is also available in Windows iTunes.
    Is there a way to do this without having to mirror the entire library within Windows?
    Thanks!!!!

    It also depends on how you want Windows to be working on your PC - do you want to have a dual boot system (i.e. you choose whether you want to use OS X or Windows when you turn the computer on) or do you want to use a 'virtualization' program like Parallels (i.e. Windows loads up as a window on your OS X desktop).
    Depending on how you want to do things will affect the ease of integration between OS X and Windows. Via the virtualization route, what you want to do can be done in a couple of clicks - you go into network neighbourhood (in Windows) and set up a Network shortcut to the files you want. You can do the same trick via OS X using the 'Network' functionality in Finder.

  • Sharing file between moutain lion and lion

    To share files other MACs running Mt. Lion, you simply turn on AirDrop.  Without an internet or intranet, can you, and how do you share files between MACs running Mt. Lion and Lion?  How do you share files between Mt. Lion and any other older versions of OS X?

    Here is a real-life example. My principal home machine is a 2011 Mac mini running OS X 10.8.3. My work laptop is a 2010 MacBook Pro with Lion. On the laptop, I enable File Sharing (afp) and export a project folder from the MacBook Pro and mount it on the desktop of the Mac mini.
    Now, I can be more productive across two large monitors with the same applications and data; without concern for synchronizing final content. In my case, the work files remain on the laptop. Moving files between machines is a simple Finder operation.
    WIthout a network, you can create your own with a length of CAT5(E) or better cable connecting each Mac Ethernet port. No need for a router in this (temporary) case. The alternative to this is a USB stick or where both machines have a reader, an SDHC data card.

  • Can Anybody explain me the difference between  a Bapi and a webservice?

    Can Anybody explain me the difference between  a Bapi and a webservice?

    Hi Anil,
    <b>BAPI</b>
    BAPI is a library of functions that are released to the public
    as an interface into an existing SAP system from an external
    system.A BAPI function is a function module that
    can be called remotely using the RFC technology
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA.
    In this case you only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI. It is not possible to connect SAP to Non-SAP systems to retrieve data using RFC alone. RFC can acces the SAP from outside only through BAPI and same is for vice versa access.
    <b>Webservice</b>
    In simpler terms, WebService is an application on the Web/Internet. Wheneever Service is requested by the user, it provides the service (i.e Request/Response)
    A web service is a collection of protocols and standards used for exchanging data between applications or systems
    In SAP world, we can expose an application into the Webservice. For e.g We can expose ABAP programs into Webservice.
    XI uses SOAP adapter to communicate with webservices see below...why only soap adpater???
    -> Some remote clients or Web services providers are only able to communicate by means of SOAP messages
    ->SOAP adapter enables you to exchange SOAP message between remote clients and Web Service Servers and the Integration Server.
    -> The SOAP Adapter provides a runtime environment that includes various SOAP components for the processing of SOAP message.
    -> You use the SOAP adapter to connect such systems to the Integration Server directly
    -> The SOAP adapter uses a helper class to instantiate and control these SOAP components
    ->The SOAP adapter receives a msg from the remote client or Web service provider, converts the SOAP protocol into XI msg protocol and then sends the msg to the Integration Server to be processed further.
    Basically  RFCs BAPI are all SAP oriented, Webservices are language / environement independent. So, all one has to do is publish a Webservice and any external system by providing the data in the correct format, can get the approopriate response back.

  • Sharing files between my imac and my MacBook Air?

    How do I share files between my imac and my 2nd generation MacBook Air?
    I have my imac that holds alot of files that I want to transfer over to my MacBook Air. How do I do this at home through a wireless network. I enabled file sharing on my Imac and MBA. This did not work. Any Help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I've used Apple's file sharing for years but two programs have made my life tons easier. One is the freeware DropCopy - install it on both computers and you'll see a black dot on your desktop. Drag a file onto the dot and it is copied to the other computer. If you have more than 2 computers you can easily select which computer gets the file.
    The second is the freeware program DropBox. Like DropCopy you need to install the program on both computer. Unlike DropCopy, DropBox watches a folder on your computer called DropBox and any file put into it gets synced to the cloud and from there copied to the other computer. One of the great things about DropCopy is that you can also access your files via the Internet.

  • Can I seamlessly toggle Apple TV between Mac Mini and Iphone / iPad?

    Seems like If i toggle between iPad / iPhone display via apple TV and Mac Mini display via apple TV;
    Toggle how?  What are you doing?  Why do you have the MacMini connected to the TV?  That is the whole point of AppleTV.  It is a simple way ( in therory ) to get your content to your TV without having to plug your computer in to your TV.
    it becomes an issue.
    What does?  What is the issue?  What specifically fails or does not work?
