Cannot send files from phone via bluetooth to iMac

I bought the latest Imac about 2 wks ago and I have had a Mac before,it was my very first computer. I am a seller on Ebay and use Bluetooth to send photos to Computer as my camera is awol. I have been able to pair my Samsung Galaxy Ace and my old Nokia 6210 to the Imac no problem.Its when I go to send a file from either phone that it wont send. The exact words displayed on my phoone are ''Remote device rejected your request''. Both devices are visible but when I click on my phone say the Samsung in the Imac list it has beside it ''not connected''. How do I enable the Bluetooth to accept my Samsung or Nokia as i really need it

Well you must enable bluetooth sharing. To do so, just go to Preferences>Internet & Wireless>Bluetooth>Sharing Setup(at bottom right)>tick mark bluetooth sharing. Thats it and the next time you won't have a problem.
Note: Open padlock or else you won't be able to  make any changes

  • Sending files from phone using bluetooth.

    How can I send files from phone (Nokia E61) to MacBook using bluetooth?
    There are the steps that I'm doing:
    1-Open bluetooth on my phone and Mac.
    2-select files on my phone.
    3-select send via bluetooth.
    4-select my Mac form bluetooth devices menu.
    5-click send.
    6-Connecting....
    7-Sending failed.
    I believe there is something that I have to do on my Mac to accept these files.
    BTW, I can browse my phone from Mac, but it's much easier to send files from phone to laptop.

  • Cannot send files from phone to Satellite L755-16z using BT

    Hi, experts :)
    I'm gonna get straight to the point !
    I've got a toshiba satallite L755-16z since a month or so (New, with windows 7 64-bit)
    and its is known that it has BT and I guess its 3.0
    So I tried to connect the bluetooth with my phone & it paired just fine !
    but when I try to send files from and to my phone, it says (connecting) but doesn't manage to send it in the end. furthermore, this problem isn't only with my phone as I've tried sending and recieving to & from another phone, but still same problem !
    HOWEVER, I tried to turn the BT adapter off (right click on bluetooth Icon in notification area then turn adapter off), then starting the (bluetooth monitor) application, and sending files & IT WORKS !!
    But this happens only for one time right after restarting bluetooth, so everytime I have to send files, I have to turn BT off then turn it on ?!!!
    This is kind of Unacceptable !
    I tried Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, and it had the same problem. Also, I didn't like the way it worked (style and everything) ... so I uninstalled it & returned to the original BT version in pc.
    I've searched for answers with no luck & now I'm desperate for the answer !
    Plz anyone who knows how to solve this issue, help me Plz ??!
    If my email is needed : [[email protected]]

    ok I tried to turn it off with fn + f8 ... wlan turns off with it too, that's natural, I know :)
    then I turned it on & I recieved a file from phone just fine ... that only worked ONE time !
    after that, sending/recieving files won't work ... on my phone it says ( cannot connect ) .... same thing when I restart bt monitor manually !!
    Also, I have tried going to ( C:\Program Files (x86)\TOSHIBA\Bluetooth Monitor ) folder
    there are other bt monitors like (btmon2) and (btmon64) but both of them are have same problem but has more time of activity !
    the problem itself isn't that its on or off ...
    it is on and it appears in the notification area ... but only works for only a short period of time ...
    or for (btmon2) I can say it works right after starting it ... then works for a while when its active (sending files or recieving files) ... but after a while with no activity (no sending/recieving) It Stops Working :(
    How can I fix the problem ???
    Mr. Tonny ? Anyone ??

  • Cannot send file from phone

    I have just moved over from my Nokia 6630 to an N70. Somewhere in the pairing process while setting up the new phone I have lost the ability to send files from either phone to the Mac via bluetooth.
    Everything else works fine. I can iSync and can send files from the Mac to both phones.
    I have deleted and re-paired without success.

    You ARE still on 10.4.3, right? Myself and many others had an identical problem, me with my Nokia 6670, after upgrading to 10.4.4. Ended up downgrading to 10.4.3. All working again.
    Looking at the list of supported phones on the Apple site, though, the N70 isn't there.
    See: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html

  • Can't transfer files from Phones via Bluetooth

    I've tried two different phones. Both are seen. Both are paired. Both say the connection is lost when I try and send something to the Mac. Didn't have a problem with Lion, but with ML, cannot transfer files. I can see some of the phones contents when I browse the device from the Mac, but what's stopping me from doing it from the phone? Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?

    If the ip addresses are beginning with 169 that means they are self assigned ip addresses.
    I suggest you goto each mac and create a new network location.
    Then setup one mac as follows
    systempreferences-->network-->show built-in ethernet-->TCP/IP
    configure ipv4 manually
    ip address 10.0.0.1
    subnet 255.255.255.0
    on the other mac do the same but make the ip address
    10.0.0.2
    press apply now.
    Now when you connect to server use the ip address 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.2 respectively.

  • Cannot send files to phone using Bluetooth

    I recently got a LG UX260. It does not have a USB port, so I have to use Bluetooth if I want to transfer files. When I first got the phone, I was able to connect my MacBook and phone and transfer files back and forth, no problem. Now every time I try, the transfer fails (I get an "Operation failed: bad request" or it tells me access was denied).
    I authorize the access to my phone each time.
    I have tried deleting my paired devices and repairing them.
    I have tried restarting my phone and MacBook.
    Bluetooth sharing is enabled under the sharing folder in the system preferences.
    When I check the status of the device in the Bluetooth program, my phone is listed as paired and connected.
    Please help, this is getting super annoying!

    Well you must enable bluetooth sharing. To do so, just go to Preferences>Internet & Wireless>Bluetooth>Sharing Setup(at bottom right)>tick mark bluetooth sharing. Thats it and the next time you won't have a problem.

  • Trying to send file to blackberry via bluetooth

    When I try to send files from my iMac to a blackberry 9000 I get the folowing error message on the iMac:
    "the device does not have the necessary services"
    I don't understand this. The iMac and the blackberry 9000 are sucessfully paired, I just can't send a file to the blackberry from the iMac. When I click on the device name (BlackBerry 9000) in the bluetooth menu on the iMac, the dialog box says that the blackberry is "not connected".
    I sent a contacts list from the blackberry to the imac, so they're talking to each other. While that happened, the dialog box said "connected".
    As soon as I tried to send something the other way (from the iMac to the blackberry), the green light in the dialog box changed to red and it said "not connected".
    Any help appreciated.
    Tom

    Go to the Help menu in the Finder. Select Mac Help and click the Index to the upper right. Go to B/Bluetooth and there are numerous articles. Perhaps an article will help you find somewhere in the configuration of the iMac or the Blackberry that is causing the failure to connect properly.

  • How do I import music to my mac from phone via bluetooth?

    I am trying to import music from my brother's mobile phone to my macbook (itunes) via bluetooth connectivity.  I can send one file at a time from his phone but obviously this is very time consuming so am trying to find a shorter method.  When i go to import playlist in itunes, the phone is not recognised in 'my devices'. Any suggestions please?

    Bluetooth file transfer is not supported by iOS devices.

  • Cannot copy files from mac via smb

    I have a very strange effect since I went from 10.6 to 10.7. (I am on 10.7.2 now).
    My Windows 7 PC can no longer copy files via SMB from the Mac to Windows.
    I first thought this has to do with McAfee Endpoint Encryption, since the error message is
    "Catastrophic Failure" (nothing else) in a small popup window which says McAfee Endpoint
    Encryption in the title bar.
    But then I discovered I can also not copy files to my Ubuntu system. The error message I get on
    Ubuntu (11.10) is: "Operation not supported".
    Both systems (the windows and the ubuntu system) however can copy via SMB from other systems
    or among each other. It's actually from the Mac with which I have problems.
    Nothing has changed for my Sharing Settings, but the only way currently to get files from my Mac
    to the other systems is through an external harddisk, not over the network.
    I see messages in other forums talking about that SMB in 10.7 is broken and Apple changed
    to an unstable code base, but I can't find real helpful information on what the source of this
    problem could be.
    Any ideas?

    The guy who controls the GPL licensing created a new scheme to prevent hardware manufacturers from limiting users to what the manufacturer wanted the users to be able to do (see Tivoisation). Samba, the code that Apple used for SMB took up that licensing scheme. So, Apple had to find another method in Lion.
    Try turning on the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) in your windows boxes and use that instead
    I don't have much need for smb file sharing, so I don't have many details. I have seen hints that certain passwords don't work, but I don't know why.
    Some useful sites for possibly finding a solution are MacWindows and MacInTouch.

  • Problem sending files from Pages via email

    I am using a Yahoo business mail account. All other emails send just fine using Mail. When I try and send a document out of Pages, it brings up the compose new mail fine and it makes the "whoosh" noise indicating that it's been sent. The recipient doesn't receive it, and it doesn't show up in my "sent items" folder. I tried to send using both wifi and 3G for interest's sake, and neither works.
    I'm not sure what to try to fix this, or if it's a limitation of the SMTP server, or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated - my iPad Pages is gimped without the ability to share documents by email...

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    iWork documents are packages, a special type of folder. Even though with iWork '09 & iWork for iPad they no longer appear as packages, they still are. On a Mac right-click on the file & look for show package contents. If that option is not there it is a "flat-file" but it can still be unzipped.
    Anyone with Stuffit Expander installed with default settings & who saves Pages files to the Desktop will find folders instead of just the document. This is because Stuffit "sees" the file for what it really is, a package. You can check for yourself by changing the extension from .pages to .zip & unzip the file. You can't e-mail a folder which is why many mail clients balk. Apple Mail will automatically zip a folder, other e-mail clients don't, especially web-based e-mail. I think you may be mailing as a Pages document rather than Word or PDF.
