Can't send files using bluetooth.

When I go to my bluetooth menu and click on "send files" or "browse device" the computer does nothing, I send files to my phone this way before why is not working now?
I checked the help topics and suggest to delete pairing and do it again and I did it but still nothing happening, and both the computer and the phone are discoverable and turned on. I'm able to send files to the computer from the phone but after the file is transfered the connection would end and I don't have the option to say I wanna send files to the phone, also on the phone I don't find the computer as active, but if I try to send a file will go without problem.
I'm guessing is the computer's bluetooth that is messed up, What do I do?
Any idea?
Thanks!

For some other reason had to re-install MAC OS 10.4.6 then did an update and when checked the bluetooth was working correctly, so that was the fix for my problem.

I can't send files via bluetooth

My problem is that I can receive files via bluetooth, but I can't send files via it. Actually I can see the "receiving file" message on mobile, but as I wanna accept that file, I see a "receiving file" error. I tried this with several other phones, but I still have the same problem. I see this message when I run bluedevil-sendfile from terminal:

How do I send files using Bluetooth on the new Blackberry Curve 3G OS 6?

Hello everyone,
I have recently updated my BB Curve (9300) software from version 5.0 up to version 6.0 Bundle 1478. I tried to send normal files (pics, videos or even music) via Bluetooth to another device (whether PC or another BB phone) but I could not find the "Send Using Bluetooth" option that I used to have on my old software version (5.0). Also when I tried to receive any file I could not find the option "receive using Bluetooth" that was on version (5.0). Is there any solution? How to send files over Bluetooth on the new BB Operating System (6.0)?
Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Please double check the steps in this KB to ensure you are following them all:
KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
As you discovered, for receipt, there is no longer, under 6.0, the requirement for "Receive Using BT" step on the receiving BB.
Good luck and let us know!

I can't transfer files using bluetooth, i can't transfer files using bluetooth

i can't transfer files using bluetooth

Bluetooth on iPads is mainly for use with keyboards and headphones, not for copying content
Supported Bluetooth profiles : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

I can't send files through bluetooth, but can receive them.

I can't send files through the bluetooth on my imac 20" any longer...
I can toggle through all the bluetooth-options though.

i have exactly the same problem with my macbook, and no solution either...

Can't send files via bluetooth

Hi,
I have a mac book pro with a Sony Ericson T610 connected via bluetooth.
When I try to launch the 'send a file...' in the BT menu it opens a application during half a minute then shutdowns it.
So no app to send file from my mac to my mobile.
note: I have the same kind of problem when I want to add a printer to my system. The app launch then shutdowns directly.
Any idea?
Thanks

Here's my sentence in the console:
2006-08-01 23:53:29.545 Bluetooth File Exchange[521] Unable to load nib file: MainMenu, exiting
(same error with the printet setup)
In the meantime: I'v made a video to show what's the issue:

During the video I tried several times with the 'send files..' of the BT and also tried to add a printer in the printer configurator.

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 I transfer files using Bluetooth with an iPod Touch?

I have just updated my iPod Touch to 3.0 and I heard that there is a stereo bluetooth feature. Can I somehow transfer files and media using it? (No jailbroken !!) If not, how can I use it?

There is no file transfer via bluetooth, only music streaming to a compatible bluetooth headset.

Update to 10.6.8 now I can't send file over bluetooth

Before update to 10.6.8 I sent files to my Samsung B3410 over bluetooth just fine, but now a message "Failed to establish connection to device" appear every time i try to. I did not change anything on mobile device configuration, I did try removing device and paring again, turning off/on bluetooth on both mobile and iMac, but nothing help... any ideas must be appreciated.

My problem exactly but with a different printer:
In two different Macs, I lost the capability to print to my Konica Minolta c353 printer. The Macs are: mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15" and a mid-2010 Mac mini Server. "Printer paused" is what happens. The logs say:
Backend returned status -8 (crashed)
Printer stopped due to backend errors
Interestingly, in the Macbook Pro I have a Windows 7 running on top of Parallels and the printer works just fine from any Windows program.
Hope Apple is reading this, as well as the Feedback I also sent them.

Can we transfer files using bluetooth

i want to transfer files like music , movies , and other data

Do you have any idea how slow that process would be? I don't think you do or you wouldn't be asking that question. Some devices support this, but not any iPhones.

Why i can't make a normal video call over my cellular operator using by iphone 4s ????!!!! is it possible that if my mobile is iphone so i can not contact (Video Call - or Send Files over Bluetooth ) people do not have iphone ??????!!!!!!!!!

why i can't make a normal video call over my cellular operator using by iphone 4s ????!!!!
is it possible that if my mobile is iphone so i can not contact (Video Call - or Send Files over Bluetooth ) people do not have iphone ??????!!!!!!!!!
i'm still looking for solution, but if i there is no solution so i will throw My Own iPhone 4S in the nearest Trash.
(I had got a big problem and thanks for Nokia saved me. and if i don't care about apple products i will never send to you this, so kindly find solution or people in middle east will stop using iphone)

No clue why you cannot make video calls over your cellular operator... have you tried contacting them?
If you're referring to FaceTime, it is currently limited to Wi-Fi only.
Sending files via Bluetooth is not a supported feature of the iPhone or iOS. A simple search of the web or these forums would have made that abundantly clear.
Threatening to throw away valuable items in these forums only serves to make you look less than intelligent. No one here is an Apple employee, we are all users like yourself. As such, we could care less what you do. If you choose to be stupid, that's up to you.
Educate yourself and stop whining.

Bluetooth mobile peers can't send files to Mac

Bluetooth mobile peers can't send files to Mac
This is about os x 10.9.5 on Mac 2013 late.
For the test additionally two mobile devices are used, one is a mobile phone with some old version of Symbian,
the other one is an Android device approx 1 year old with latest official KitKat build on it.
Both are paired with Mac, so the pairing succeeded.
The Mac is able to send files to these two mobile devices through Bluetooth.
However it is not possible for neither for these two devices to send files to Mac.
While sending a file to Mac each device can see Mac as present on Bluetooth radio channels.
Both mobile devices can send files through Bluetooth to each other.
What is the reason?
How to fix it?
We think we will request an RMA at Apple.

Even if the term "to share" also addresses using belongings of other persons
I think giving own belonging to others for use by them is mainly addressed by thas term,
I mean as for the term "to share" its outbound sense comes before its inbound sense.
Nevertheless if the term "to share" covers both giving as well as receiving the System Preferences,
the Bluetooth section should cover these two. Otherwise the naming is misleading.
Currently for sending files through BT to peers works even if the BT sharing is disabled.
