Can I transfer photos via bluetooth from samsung phone to macbook air?

 

Probably not. Apple views BlueTooth as a conduit for connecting peripherals such as keyboards and mice, not for mass transfering data. See this article for ways to transfer pictures from an Android phone to the Mac.

  • How to transfer files over bluetooth from android phone to ipad air , the phone being already paired ?

    Look forward for a solution to above

    You cannot. iOS devices do not support file transfer from another type of device via Bluetooth. You'll need to either email the files to yourself, use a cloud-based service such as Dropbox, or sync the files to your computer so you can then sync them to your iPad.

    how to send a photo via bluetooth from iphone 5s to laptop

    Connectivity between an iPhone and a computer via Bluetooth is extremely limited. It supports tethering (hotspot or internet sharing) if your cellular plan allows that but does not support transfer of photos. You can import photos from the Camera Roll to the computer via USB or via wifi as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

    How do I transfer photos through Bluetooth from iPhone to iPhone ?

    Hi Soorya3d,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If both iPhones meet the requirements, you can use AirDrop to wirelessly transfer files between them. See this article for the requirements and steps to use AirDrop:

  • Transfer photo/video files from iPhone 5 to MacBook?

    I was able to complete steps #1 and #2 of the iTunes help offered under "Transfer files from your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer" but for step #3, "Below File Sharing..."  there was no File Sharing menu or ability to choose the Photos app in my iPhone 5.  Where should I look for that or is there more de-tailed guidance available elsewhere?

  • How can I transfer a registration to another person of a Macbook Air mid 2010?

    How can I transfer a registration to another person of a Macbook Air mid 2010?

    You can also go on Apple's website to edit your Support Profile to delete ownership registration of your product(s).
    The new user then simply registers his "new" device, also online. Once you have deleted ownership, the serial number is freed for a user (new owner) to add it. The new owner should obtain an Apple ID first.

  • Can you send files via bluetooth from a imac to an ipad mini

    Just purchased an ipad mini and was wanting to transfer some pictures via bluetooth from my Imac to my Ipad mini? Is this possible?
    They are paired but when it goes to transfer files, it says connection lost. Is there another way of transfering files from the computer to the ipad mini?
    Any help is much appreciated.

    No, Bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as keyboards and heapphones : supported Bluetooth profiles.
    You can sync photos to the iPad via your comptuer's iTunes. Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (with iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders/albums to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    There are also third-party iPad apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to copy photos to (and from) the iPad via your wifi network.
    For documents you can use the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • Can't receive files via bluetooth from my mobile phone

    Hi there,
    I can't manage to send files from my phone to my MacBook Pro via bluetooth. I have (correctly, IMHO) set the bluetooth sharing options but my phone still can't send files to the laptop. However, I can send stuff from the Mac to the phone. It's a really weird issue, someone could help?

    Hi LadyMarwood,
    I think the best solution for your problem is to try 'Photostream'. You can find this in iPhoto. Since it is photos you are trying to transfer, I think this is the best solution. If you have an active internet connection at home, the photos taken on any of your Apple products will be transferred throughout each device incuding your Mac. This is what I use to access all my photos on any device (iPad). If this is the kind of solution you are looking at, heres the process:
    Go into 'Settings' --> iCloud --> And select Photos there by ticking --> Click 'Options' if you've got it on there and select both 'My Photostream' and 'Photo Sharing'.
    Now, open up iPhoto --> Click on 'iPhoto' on the menu tab (to the left of the top of the screen) and click on preferences from the drop down menu --> Go into iCloud and select all the options.
    The next step is to go to your iPhone and make sure that Photostream is turned on there as well. To do this, go into 'Settings' --> iCloud --> Photos --> and make sure that both 'My Photostream' and 'Photo Sharing' is turned on.
    I think this the best alternative, since I too am an Android mobile owner, and I have to say that I prefer the Photostream option better than any method android offers, just because its in one safe and secure place to access all your photos at anytime and it is an option directly offered by Apple. JUST MAKESURE THAT YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION PROVIDES YOU WITH ENOUGH DATA, SINCE PHOTOSTREAMING DOES TAKE LARGE AMOUNTS TO UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS, AND YOU DON'T WANT A HUGE BILL COMING OUT.
    But hope this helps!

  • Can u transfer files via airdrop from a iphone 5 to a mac and vice a versa

    hi,
    can u transfer files via air drop from an iphone 5 to a mac air, and mac air to a iphone 5.

    I would like a constructive response, rather than an ascerbic one.
    We have owned Iphones for a couple of years, and used photostream to copy photos to a PC...
    Within the family, we have 2 ipod touch, 2 x iphone, 2 x ipad minis and 2x Ipad Air.
    I have recently purchased a Mac desktop and would like to use this as a central backup and storage for all devices.
    I have been made aware that photostream / Icloud will only do its thing and back up to the Mac whenever the designated account is open on the Mac. (so I must remember to ensure the account for each family member is opened at lease once a month)
    SO, on one of the iphones, for example, we have over 900 photos in the photostream album. When connected to the Mac, only the last 30 days of photos are copied across (about 60 photos).
    How can I transfer across the other 850 photos ?
    I cannot copy them across to the camera roll on the iphone
    I cannot access them from iphoto
    the camera does not show itself as an " external drive" in Finder (Please note I am more acustomerd to using a PC).
    Itunes only allows "sync" and "backup" of the phone but is not at all helpful. (No indication of what is is/has backed up or synced)
    My Icloud is currently holding 12gb of my data, but the only info I KNOW is in the Icloud is my next dentist appointment.
    I really wish to transfer these photos across, as I would also like to upgrade the ios software, but this needs a few gb of memory space, and, of course, the
    These photos are visible within the iphone, but how do i get them transferred???
    like I said at the beginning, constructive answers please.
