Cannot Receive AirDrop Files

Just like the title reads, I cannot receive files over aidrop. I've tried with three other macs and I am able to send files of any size (3 gigs) but I cannot receive them. The other mac can see my computer in airdrop but the connection hangs after I accept the file. I am not running an antivirus and my firewall is off.
I appreciate your input.

Do you have Airdrop open when people try to send to you? If you do, but the person sending the files is told that they can't be sent, then try re-staring your computer, then opening AIrdrop in the Finder Window and giving it another try. Sometimes AIrdrop gets a little stuck.

Most likely the jpeg file is corrupted. Zip the file, try again and use the mass storage mode.

Playbook cannot receive bluetooth files

Yet another problem with this most useless device... Trying to bluetooth a file from my Mac; both have bluetooth switched on, both are 'discoverable'; the Playbook appears in the window on the Mac, but when I try to send a file the little thing in the corner spins round and round for ages, saying 'connecting to the device', but it never sends the file, & then tells me something like the device 'doesn't have the necessary facilities' (or something; can't remember the exact wording).
Is there anything this useless Playbook thing can actually do properly? I thought I was buying somehting like an android device, but it is incompatible with almost everything (Skype, etc...), & really simple things like Bluetooth, that the most basic phone can manage, seem to be totally beyond it's capabilities.

I use my playbook almost every day for email, movies, games, video chat, web surfing, picture taking and taking videos of my kids while they dance to music that is playing from my playbook.
I use wifi sharing to transfer things from my PC to playbook, much faster too

My MacBook Air will send but not receive Airdrops?

Does anyone know why my MacBook Air running OS X 10.9.4 will send, but not receive, AirDrop files? I've tried to see if there are any security settings blocking receiving but have been unable to find anything. Thank you!

If the firewall is on, turn it off in the Security & Privacy preference pane. Otherwise see below.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I started getting this error message for the first time today. When I look in the event log I see it every time anyone tries to sync to a mobile device to the exchange server. I've also had this problem trying to connect using
Outlook. I believe it is an IIS issue but I'm not absolutely sure so I'm posting this in the Exchange forum as well.
The event viewer has the following information...

I have tried most, if not all, of the different post's suggestions to no avail.
The steps I have taken are as follows...
1. Repaired .Net 4 (Both the client and extended)
2. Uninstalled and reinstalled .Net Framework 4.0.
3. Verified that the dll exists.
4. Checked the applicationHost.config file. It contains the follow statement...
<add name="ServiceModel-4.0" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHttpModule, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" preCondition="managedHandler,runtimeVersionv2.0"
/>
5. Changed the following line in web.config to include the runtimeVersion...
<add name="ServiceModel" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" preCondition="managedHandler,runtimeVersionv2.0" />
6. Executed aspnet_regiis.exe -iru from the ...\Framework64\v4.0.30319 directory.
7. Went to inetpub\history to use an applicationHost.config file from yesterday but it only has history from 9PM tonight. It probably had what I needed before I started changing it tonight.
I still receive the same error message.
Like I said everything was working yesterday. In fact I didn't hear or see any issue until after 1PM today.
Any help would be very appreciated!

Hi,
Please confirm whether users can access their mailboxes from Outlook Web Access or not. We can do the following changes to have a try:
1. In IIS > Application Pools, change the .NET Framework Version to v2.0 and restart IIS service.
2. If it doesn’t work, explore the Default Web site.
3. Renamed the web.config file to web.config.old
4. Reset IIS using iisreset command to have a try.
Thanks,
Winnie Liang

Windows 2k8R2 - Receiving Error when logging in ( MMC Cannot open the File: C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc)

Windows 2008 R2 - I just started receiving this when i log in, and also when i try to manage the machine:
MMC Cannot open the File:
C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc
This may be because the file does not exist , is not an MMC console , or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file.
This always worked before, and works for other users just not me on this particular box. This is a production box and i need a resolution quick please. Thanks in advance.

TOC - Receiving a "Cannot find the file named" error when pressing Ctrl+alt

When I generate a TOC, it comes out beautifully. However, when I press control + alt to check my links, I receive a "cannot find the file named" error message. This happens for the majority of the links. All of the files are present along with the graphics. Everything is in the same folder. They are saved on our network. However, I have packaged and copied the files to my desktop to see if that makes a difference. I am still receiving the same error message.
Has anyone seen this before? Any solutions in Adobe world? All help is appreciated.

>>> ... avoid using & in your document titles.
>> By that do you mean in your file names?
> Yes. That's correct.
That's not at all surprising. & is commonly found on lists of random "characters to avoid in directory and file names".
A comprehensive list of such characters might be impossible to assemble. Even though FM only runs on Windows these days, it could be in a VM on another OS (with its own restrictions, e.g. Mac), using a CMS (with its own restrictions) and working with virtual directories actually located on completely different operating systems (with their own restrictions, e.g. Unix, Linux/Samba, random cloud).
And then there are naming issues in the FM app itself (and other Adobe apps that might need to process the files, like Distiller), which apparently is the case for the comma problem (it may only pop up during render to PDF).

Hi TheMom1999,
Do you mean that you are unable to open the pdf files via Reader?
Which OS are you using? Have you updated Reader o v. 11.0.7 and checked?
Was it working fine for you before?

HT4783 I cannot AirDrop files between my MacBook Pro & iMac.

I cannot AirDrop files between my MacBook Pro & iMac even though they both recognize each other when AirDrop is open. When I open a file & choose AirDrop it doesn't allow me to click send. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can only write in NTFS drives in Windows, not OS X or Linux or any other UNIX-based system. If you want to write in NTFS drives, you have to use a third-party application as Paragon NTFS.
Another possibility you have is to format the external drive in a format that OS X can read and write in it, like HFS+ (Mac OS Extended (Journaled)), FAT32 (MS-DOS (FAT)) or exFAT, but this is longer and you need a lot of time to back up your external drive files

Add internal bluetooth module for Probook 5310m, cannot receive files

Hi, I tried to add internal bluetooth module for my probook 5310m, which should be very similar to 4311s and 5320m.
I did installed the module and cable by following the maintenance guide, but there is something wrong about the driver so I cannot receive files through bluetooth from either my smartphone or my another laptop. My phone showed " The transfer is forbidden by the target device( which means 5310m)".
The bluetooth module I got is Broadcom 2070 bluetooth 3.0. My operation system is windows 7 ultimate 32. I tried driver package sp52773 and some earlier version but none of them works. I even let windows update drivers by itself, it still did not work. The only good part is my bluetooth headphone works perfectly and I can sent stuff out from my 5310m. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I really want to fix this since I use bluetooth a lot. I will really appreciate your help.
Thank you again.
Jing

I found a way to fix this problem. I install the bluesoleil software and everything works fine finally. Thank god.
