Cannot download files via Bluetooth since upgrading to Yosemite

I cannot download files, E.G. photos and spreadsheets, from my Windows phone to my MacBook Pro Retina since upgrading to OS 10.10 Yosemite.
I can send files from the MacBook Pro to the Windows phone.
Tried resetting PRAM, no luck
Tried unpairing and repairing all devices, no luck
Tried dumping "bluetooth.plist", no luck
Tried cold start & Resart after each, no luck
Devices are paired. Bluetooth Sharing is on.
Help!

PROBLEM SOLVED:
Go to "System Preferences" - "Sharing" - "Bluetooth Sharing" - "Folder for selected items:", and select a folder."
No folder is selected.
Prior to the upgrade the Folder had been set to "Downloads", so I reset it to "Downloads" and it now works.
Praise the Lord!!

Cannot send file via bluetooth from galaxy s5 to mac yosemite os x

Recently upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks and now cannot receive any files via bluetooth
on my Galaxy S5. I can however receive files on my s5 from Yosemite.
Restarted mac with CMD+OPT+P+R, disconnected USB, waited 3 minutes on shutdown and reset bluetooth settings
but still no joy.
Please post any other solutions.
Your comments would be deeply appreciated.
cheers.

Tripper: Sorry for my delayed response (very sick dad in the hopsital). Also, sorry I answered the *wrong* question. To transfer files:
On each Mac OS X 10.5-based Mac, from the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Sharing.
Check (click) the "On" box next to Bluetooth Sharing.
Close the Sharing preferences window.
Select the file that you want to transfer.
Select "Send Using Bluetooth" from the Blackberry menu.
You will now receive a pop-up asking you to select a device. Select the paired computer you want to transfer the file to.
The file will start transferring. If you selected "Ask What to Do" in the Bluetooth prefs,you'll get a pop-up on the computer asking you if you want to accept or decline the file transfer.
That's it. Let me know if you still have problems.
Good luck,
Rene

Laptop G400S Windows 7 cannot transfer file via bluetooth to cellphone

Anybody can help please.

I did some additional testing today and "fixed" my problem.
I grabbed a new (almost fresh install of XP) laptop and installed a Jabra USB BT dongle with the MS BT Stack. Then I installed DM 5.0.1 and plugged the phone into a USB port to get it past the initial configuration.
Unplugged the BB from USB, went into Device Manager, enabled BT and searched for a new device. It forund the 8350i and finished pairing. Switch from USB to BT connection and DM5 could communicate with the phone (same as the original laptop).
Went into "Media" and selected "Receive using Bluetooth" while starting a file transfer from the PC. Transfer went through without a hitch. Tried it several more times without any problems.
Back to the old laptop, I switched off the wireless devices (WiFi and BT) and installed the Jabra adapter. Paired it with the phone and tested, transfers from the PC to the phone now work.
Unplug the Jabra and re-enabled the internal BT on the laptop, file transfers fail again.
Same computer, similar BT (both Broadcom), one works and one doesn't. I'm left wondering if there isn't some remnant of the original ThinkPad BT Stack buried somewhere (registry?) that is interfering with the internal adapter.
My next step will be to install a clean copy of XP on a new HD in the "problem" laptop and see if I can get it working. If I can then that pretty much proves there is something left over or corrupt in the current OS.
i'm going to uninstall drivers from the problematic VAIO...try installing the same drivers as i have on the Acer (working) and see if this resolves anything as I think it may have something to do with the WIDCOMM...
after inspection you should have 2 bluetooth radio device drivers and 2 RIM serial port drivers (4 & 5 i believe)...last time i tried doin it and installed 4 RIM drivers...

E52: Cannot send files via bluetooth

Hi mates, I bought this smartphone 2 days ago and upgraded firware to version 052.003. Today for the first time I've tried to use the bluetooth connection to another phone (nokia 7210) and to the PC. The problem is that my new E52 cannot send files to other devices. I can send files from PC and from 7210 to E52 but not vice versa. In particular it seems that the bluetooth discovery doesn't work. When I try to add a new paired device the phone does not do anything. It does not say "looking for devices" or something like that (I'm italian, so I don't know what it should say).
Can anybody help me?
Thanks

And yes, it is.
And on the other computer you're trying to send to?
Have you tried deleting the following from ~/Library/Preferences/
com.apple.BluetoothExplorer.plist
com.apple.BluetoothFileExchange.plist
com.apple.BluetoothSetupAssistant.plist
and
com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
from /Library/Preferences/
and then restarting and re-pairing the devices?

Cannot send files via Bluetooth

My bluetooth used to work perfectly, but a couple of months ago a weird problem occured. People can send files to my computer normally, but i can't send anything via bluetooth.
I noticed that my sister has something like "OPEX file transfer" in the services-thingy but for me it says nothing. What's wrong?? Is there something i could do?

And yes, it is.
And on the other computer you're trying to send to?

Preview opening invisible files and freezing since upgrade to yosemite

I "upgraded" to yosemite and now preview more or less doesn't function. It started when I tried to open a locked document (which I had locked using adobe cs6 or cs5 I can't remember. Adobe can open it just fine (one page at a time) but preview can no longer open it. It'll open and then as soon as I scroll one page up the document freezes. and from then on out when I hover over the buttons for any document I open or have open in preview the close, minimize and full screen button do not change their icons to let you know you are hovering over them, but they still work. I can still minimize and close thing.
Additionally, when I go to open any more, they open up a blank/see through window. I can see a slightly opaque box where the file should be but there is nothing there. And I can minimize this box of nothing, and close the box of nothing, but that's it. I have to quit preview and start/get stuck all over again.
I have an early 2013 macbook pro with a dual core i7, 8 GB of ram
Lastly, as a side note, that sound the reminders makes is awful.. It sounds like my computer has gas... *facepalm*

I have similar problems. I used to be able to double click an item, such as a photo or Microsoft Word document, and have it open easily using Mavericks but Yosemite doesn't seem to work. I've tried changing the open with settings for .jpgs, etc. for each app but Yosemite changes all files to the same setting regardless of whether it's a Word document or a photo from Adobe. Running a MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 and 4 GB memory.

Cannot send files via bluetooth from phone to PC

Dear All,
I am having a problem trying to send files from my E71 to a PC.
I can send files from my PC's (both Ubuntu & Windows) no problem but if I try to send a file from my E71 (i have tried both a pdf, picture & video) the phone just says "Sending failed".
I can browse the phone via blueetooth in both Ubuntu and Windows so i know the connectivity is there. Both Ubuntu and Windows have the options set to allow incoming file transfers.
Is this normal behaviour? Has anybody else experienced this problem or seen anything else about this?
COM

Hi Com,
which Bluetooth stack are you running under Windows?
I know that with the M$ stack, you explicitly need to right-click on the BT icon and choose "Receive a File". I have successfully used this before to get files from my E71.
Regards,
Dane
Proud E71-1 owner (yeah!)

Cannot download files via FTP

I have internet connection on a MAC machine. I am trying to download a driver from HP's website using safari internet browser. I get the below message every time:
Safari can't open the page "FTP://FTP.hp.com....". The error is: "Unknown error" (NSURLErrorDomain: -1).
Actually am new to Safari... any help?
Thank you,

If this is still giving you the same result, and I am able to download from both links, this suggests something in your connection or with your installation of Safari (I used Safari and that was OK). Have you tried with another browser?
If that is successful, then the Safari settings may need looking at. If not, the network settings may be awry.
What DNS settings are you using? (See System Preferences> Network> Advanced. If these are automatically entered by OS X (usually the router), try Open DNS: 203.144.207.29 and 208.67.222.222 (these are what I am using).
Do you have another account you could try in? That might narrow it down to network or the user account version of Safari. You might also try to set up another Location (network settings), entering the details manually rather than duplicating.
As for FTP, Macs will also have no problems with FTP, so I am sure it is not platform specific, especially as I did download the driver from that URL you gave. 2MBPS should be ample.
Now this is odd. While I was able to open that page yesterday, clicking on the link in the message gave me the same result as you. However, if I go to this page -- http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us &prodNameId=445195&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=445194&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEn vOID=219 -- and click on the Download link lower down the page, that does work properly.

You need Silverlight. That is the application that plays the Netflix movies.
