Connecting Bluetooth on PC to Cell Phone

I have a Satellite L355-S7837 which has Bluetooth installed on a 64 bit. I am trying to connect my LG Cell phone to the computer. The cell phone recognizes the computer but the computer does not recognize the cell phone. On the cell it asks for a code to save the device (PC) but when I put in the code (using 0000) or even another number it says connection failed.
How can I get them to recognize each other and save the connection? Is there another code I should be using? Or are there other instructions I should be using.
Thanks for any help you can give.

To convert a song to another format in iTunes you begin by changing your import settings to the format and bit rate you want, for example MP3 (the lower the bit rate, the smaller the file will be. Bear in mind however that quality also falls with the bit rate). Then highlight the song you want to convert and choose "Convert selection to MP3" from the Advanced menu. Converting creates a second copy of the song in the format you have chosen which gives you the opportunity to either keep or delete the original. You can get details on these pages:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
How To Choose Import Settings
One exception to this are the standard 128 kbps AAC format songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store which can't be directly converted due to the DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection.

Connecting laptop to internet via cell phone

I heard i can use my cell phone to connect my laptop to the internet, i currently have a lg envy touch , with a 25 megabyte plan which would not be enough as I am wanting to get rid of current dsl plan and wanting to use my wireless plan as my only paid source of internet connection in my home.
I can upgrade plan to unlimited for 29.99 per month which is what i currently pay for my home dsl. I was told by verizon rep i could use a smartphone ( droid/ droid incredible) to set up a wireless connection in which i could also use my ipod and nintendo dsi to connect to internet as well at the same time as the laptop.
So my thinking is i add another line to my 2100 minute family plan for additional monthly cost of 9.99 get the droid for 199.99 with the unlimited plan of 29.99 bringing my total monthly bill to 170.00 minus taxes. I currently only use about 900-1000 minutes but the savings of dropping minutes just doesnt seem worth it to me as I have children on my plan and their minutes will increase at some point and I would rather be locked in to a plan that gives me more than needed.
So I am wondering if others on this forum could give me their opinion/advise?
Does anyone else use the unlimited 29.99 plan as their only source of internet connection? and how fast/slow etc?
If it matters I will be using the internet connection in Pasadena Texas and mainly we use the internet for general searches on basic info, job searches, facebook, ipod music, no gaming or anything complicated, just a typical basic internet family use.
Thank you so much!
Shannon

In addition to the unlimited $29.99 data plan, you would also need a $29.99 tethering plan, so it would cost you $60 a month - and the connection would not be as good as your DSL. And we use our DSL to connect to a router and have several laptops and desktops using our DSL, which would not work with a tethered connection. My advice - skip the tethering and keep the DSL.

Connected Bluetooth cannot make or receive phone calls

Just recently my Jawbone ICON has not been able to work with my iPhone 4s. It is connected and synced properly and I can answer phone calls but the call is not routed thru the Bluetooth. The options for answering phone calls are only the phone or speaker. No Bluetooth option. I don't know what to do. I have tried restarting the phone, re syncing the Bluetooth, updated the Bluetooth and re synced it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can i use a iPad air with verizon connectivity as a stand alone cell phone

.

iPad has no native telephone components. If available in your location,
you can use FaceTime for audio or video calls. Also you could look in the
AppStore for Skype or similar program that will do what you want. You will
need an internet connection, and data charges will apply if not on free wifi.

How can I use my bluetooth (cell phone earpiece) as a Mic?

I have read in theory it should work? I have a plantronics bluetooth earpiece for my cell phone. How can I set it up as a Mic on the MacMini? in preferences? I want to be able to use it in iMovie.
I was doing a search under Microphones, someone posted : besides isite and imic, one should be able to use a bluetooth set as a Mic.
MacMini core duo Mac OS X (10.4.6) Dell running xp

thanks. Shawk. I figured it out last night when I got home. Works great. Actually like it better than microphone (no wires) and sound is good.

Need help connecting to Internet via bluetooth'd cell phone

I have my iBook connected to my cell phone (i-mate K-jam) via bluetooth and I'm trying to figure out how to connect to t-mobile gsm so I can get to the internet. I can access the net with my K-jam by itself, I just can't figure out how to do it with my iBook. Has anyone done this and do you have a step-by-step???
Thanks,
Tom

Fixed it! I followed this: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=6184897#post6184897 The key was to put a fake user name and password. Even though Tmobile doesn't require it, I had to put something in. d for user and u for password works...anything will work.

Connecting iBook to Verizon EVDO with a Cell Phone

Verizon allows access to their EVDO network through four cell phones models with a USB cable connecting the cell phone and a notebook computer. Has anyone done this with an iBook? If so, can you tell me how to do it? Any information would be appreciated.
iBook Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes, all have Bluetooth. The 4 phones are:
LG VX8100
LG VX9800
Motorola RAZR V3c
Motorola 813
Verizon just recently allowed access to their EVDO system using these phones. (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1918150,00.asp)
I can use Bluetooth or a data cable from RPI Wireless (http://www.rpiwireless.com) or the data cable in the Verizon V Cast kit. The big problem is no one I can reach at Verizon or Apple, either at a store or over the phone, knows anything about this. I'm trying to find out how to make the connection to the EVDO system once the phone to iBook connection has been established. I would think this knowledge would be valuable to Apple since neither the iBook G4 nor the 12 inch Powerbook G4 have PCMCIA slots. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Dowloading photos useing Bluetooth from Cell phone

I have a Samsung SCH a870, and would like to transfer pictures from onto a MacBook Pro using Bluetooth and iPhoto from a recent trip to Italy. The phone and Mac appeared to be paired and configured. Still iPhoto does not appear able to pick up the phone and transfer pics via Bluetooth.
Device Name: SCH-A870
Device Address: 00-17-e4-xx-xx-xx
Device Type: Phone
**Device Services: Voice Gateway, AUDIO Gateway, Dial-up Networking**
Paired: Yes
Configured: Yes
Favorite: Yes
Connected: No
Device services list doesn't look promising. It's puzzling that the devices aren't listed as connected.
Many thanks,

John,
I don't think you can directly import from your phone into iPhoto. You will need to put the phone photos into a folder somewhere (such as your desktop) and import that folder into iPhoto.
However, that 'Not connected' item is not reassuring. You may have a problem similar to mine, with my LG phone. I can get photos FROM my Mac TO the phone, but not the other direction. They are obviously connected correctly, and I can 'send' images to the phone. When I try to 'get' the images from the phone, the connection is severed.
From what I could tell on LG sites and one of the BlueTooth ones here, certain LG phones just won't transfer their images.
The only way I have found to get photos from my cell phone is to email them to myself.

Bluetooth: Cannot pair MacBook Pro 15" (early 2009) and Nokia cell phones

When I try to pair my Nokia cell phone (E65) with my new MacBook Pro 15", the bluetooth assistant hangs after the input of the pairing code. I tried another Nokia cell phone in addition (N70), but had the same issue.
When I initiate the pairing by the phone, then the pairing process seems to be successful, but I still cannot use the bluetooth connection with the phone afterwards (e.g. browsing files on it, 3G internet connection). The connection becomes established for a few seconds, but then the phone is being disconnected.
I never had these problems using my old black MacBook. It still works when I try today. So it must be an issue of the new MBP.
I successfully paired the New MBP with my old MB via Bluetooth - could transfer files for example without any problems. Therefore I think that the Bluetooth hardware (Broadcom) seems to work properly.
The MacBook Pro 15" has the Broadcom chipset, while the old black MacBook has the Cambridge Silicon Radio chipset. Maybe there's an incompatibility between Broadcom and Nokia (?)
Any ideas? Thanks!

I also have an early 2009 15" MBP and am experiencing bluetooth pairing problems. When I first started this computer, I successfully paired my Sonyericsson HBH-DS980 headphones. While using this connection, I accidently lost the connection by moving out of range. After this, the headphones would not re-connect. I deleted the headphones from the MBP bluetooth configuration and tried unsuccessfully to discover and re-pair. I also have another pair of SE HBH-DS220s. They initially paired and worked properly with my MBP and again after loss of connection, would not re-connect or re-pair. I do not have this problem with my first generation MBP so I know it must be something with the bluetooth system in my new MBP. I don't know anything about Mac operating systems, but I bet there is some log file somewhere that is logging a bluetooth problem and thereby locking out that type of device. I would really appreciate a MAC guru's help.
Thanks
Dan

Problems with cell phone bluetooth hackers

Hi there, I have been having problems with someone accessing my machine through the wireless bluetooth system. The logs prove it and there seem to be no way to shut down or dissable the modems. There is more than one it seems. I have reformated my drive and reloaded operaring system. As I was going throught the initial state of the machine like firewall settings printer settings and wifi, the changes that I was making were being changed back. I have checked the remote settings like the remote screen set up and and then a cell phone mac address poped up. Is there code that I can write to the EFI to not load this bluetooth because I have spent countless hours trying to figure this out. In my Sony Viao I had such a go around with this It took me almost six weeks before I gave in and took it in to the shop. Today I was setting up the home network and public came up an then 2 and 3 was below it. NTUSER.DAT is respocible and I can't get rid of that either because one is keeping the other running. Computers aren't supposed to be like this I know . IF someone could help I would appreciate all that I can get. Thanks in advance.

X230 bluetooth does not work - unable to use cell phone as personal hotspot

I am trying to use the bluetooth in my X230 to pair my laptop with my cell phone. I want to be able to use my cell phone as a personal hotspot, in case I am in an area with no secure wi-fi. I would have thought that this would be standard feature in a laptop that is touted as a business device, but apparently this is not the case.
I installed both the bluetooth driver and the latest system update, as suggested by Sarbin...
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT073834
and
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS012808
... but it is still not working for me. I am now able to connect my cell phone to my X230, but instead of enabling me to access the internet via bluetooth, a dialogue box appears enabling me to play songs that are on my cell phone using the laptop speakers.
I am disappointed that the bluetooth driver did not come pre-installed on the x230, and I am disappointed that I am not able to use my cell phone as a personal hotspot for my x230.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is a key step missing from the prior post, but is shown on the link.
After the steps described in the prior post (e.g., disabling all services on the Bluetooth device except NAP), go to <Control Panel<, <Devices and Printers>, right click on the Bluetooth device (e.g., iPhone) that you want to connect to for your internet hotspot access point, and then click on <Connect Using> and then <Access Point>.
Using this method, the Lenovo's Access Connections program does NOT control this internet connection, thus the icon in the system tray will show NO connection in the Lenovo wireless access icon (even though the computer is connected via the Bluetooth connection to the iPhone).
Disconnecting requires going back into Control Panel and disconnecting from the Access Point.
Kinda clunky in my opinion, but I could never get a connection to the internet via a Bluetooth/iPhone Hotspot combination using the Lenovo Access Connections software despite claims in that software's help section saying that such a connection was possible. (The Lenovo Access Connections Help section even gives instructions to use tabs that don't exist in the software.)

Browse cell phone through Bluetooth

I am a relatively new mac user and I am trying to browse my cell phone using bluetooth. I have tried it using more than one cell phone. When the box opens that says browsing it remains empty and does not allow me to access any of my files on the phone. What am I doing wrong?

The File Sharing checkbox is for sharing files between Macs via Bonjour or network connection, so it doesn't apply to Bluetooth phones.
In the Bluetooth system preferences pane, click on your phone on the left-hand side, and then have a look to see what Services it reports as having on the right-hand side. Also, check that it say's 'Yes' alongside 'Paired'

Can I connect my cell phone to my iPad?

I want to connect my cell phone to my iMac through bluetooth in order to transfer the photos I took on the phone to my iPad. Is this possible? I've established a connection through bluetooth but I can't do anything with it. If this isn't possible on the iPad is it doable on the iMac? I'm using an aqueous/sharp handset.
Cheers
