Connecting surface to macbook via bluetooth

I am attempting to connect my surface pro, running windows 8.1, to a macbook, running osx 10.6.8, via Bluetooth. I would like to be able to share file between the two computers and if possible extend the display of my surface to the macbook.
I have discovered and added the laptop as a device, but I am unable to send any files in either direction.
When I go to display settings the laptop does not show as an option to display to. 
I don't know if either of these applications are readily supported but if they are I would really like to know how to both. They would make things run much more smoothly in my classroom.

Just mark the question as 'solved,' please - that will keep others from clicking the question to see if we can help you.
Thanks, and glad you got it working!

  • My iPhone 5 does not connect to my Macbook via Bluetooth (this is so frustrating!!)

    Ok so i bought my iPhone 5 a couple days ago. So i installed and applications from app store ( on my mac ) which enables me to control my iphone through my mac (via bluetooth). It's very cool when my iphone is docked so i don't need to reach to it every single time. AND. guess what. my iphone refuses to connect to macbook and vice versa.
    This is sooo frustrating i'm gonna die.
    When i go to the general settings and bluetooth menu, it doesn't even find my macbook. I need to go to the bluetooth menu on mac, set up bluetooth device and then select my iphone. Then, it does pair. BUT it doesn't connect it says:
    Connection Unsuccessful
    "Macbook Pro" is not supported.
    And gives me only on option: "Forget Device"
    Any help?

    you mentioned you purchased from the mac app store, the only thing I could find is Type2Phone, and that app has some ts'ing steps in its description that match almost exactly what you described /

  • I cant get iphone 4 to connect with my macbook via bluetooth.  IS there a way?

    I can connect and pair my ipad to the iphone.  I can pair it to the macbook pro - but when i try to connect the 2 the Iphone tells me it is not supported.  Is there a way - or is this coming in Lion

    No, and not coming in Lion.  iPhones don't have the BT profiles for data transfer.  The only BT connection possible between the iPhone and a computer is for tethering/hotspot internet connection. 
    WiFi data connection is far more reliable and faster.

  • Connecting BB pearl to macbook via bluetooth?

    ive been trying to get my blackberry pearl to sync to my macbook via bluetooth but i havent been able to. does anyone know how to resolve this issue? PocketMac also seems to freeze a lot also whenever i try to open the application.

    With PocketMac it will charge/connect with USB, without PocketMac installed it will say there isn't enough power. As for syncing with Bluetooth I don't think that's possible with the BB Pearl, to my knowledge anyways. If anyone finds a way to let me know!

  • Samsung s8300 connecting with Macbook via Bluetooth

    I just bought a new s8300. For some reason, the camera photos I take cannot be sent to my macbook via bluetooth. Does anyone know why?

    No. I have a Samsung G600 phone. I have now been into the apple shop and tried connecting to the laptops there which was fine so oit would seem to be something wrong with mine and not the phone

  • Iphone6 doesn't play music (have tried obvious things like volume etc and plugged in headphones, connected to a speaker via bluetooth, and tried to play from the inbuilt speaker). Does anyone know what the problem is and how it can be resolved?

    You can't buy the part from Creative as a spare.
    I'm not sure how compatible other parts might be, but that would be a question for someone who really knows a lot about this area of electronics.
    The Creative repair for this is likely to be expensi've, but the problem is most likely a broken solder connection than an actual new headphone socket. So if you know someone experienced in surface mount soldering you could probably get it repaired just with this.

  • Why can i not connect my iphone 4S via bluetooth to my macbookair?

    i have tried to connect my iphone 4s via bluetooth and it says that my macbook air is not supporting this feature after i follow all the steps when connecting. Can someone help me with this problem?

    The only thing you can connect an iPhone to your Macbook over BT for would be tethering, which would be done through the Personal Hotspot settings on the iPhone, not the BT settings. iOS doesn't support the BT profiles for trasferring files.

  • My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calles does not work.  It looks like it is working but doesn't.  I have tried in my Hyundai and a Dodge rent car and get the same results.  I updated the last 8.0.2.

    My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calls does not work.  It looks like it is working but doesn't.  I have tried in my Hyundai Sonata and a Dodge Dart rent car and get the same results.  I updated the last 8.0.2.  It worked the first day i had the phone, and then i updated to Ios 8.0.2 and it quit working.
    Now when i get in the car, it acts like it is connected and makes the same call it was on after syncing to bluetooth, but it really isn't on a call.  This is happening on both cars.
    Does anyone know if this is the phone and i need to take it to Apple or if there is an issue that Apple is working on getting a fix for?
    My son in law has the exact same phone as me, we both got the on 10/6, he had a Dodge Dart and his is working via bluetooth.
    Someone HELP please, as i consider this a safety issue by not having my calls go to bluetooth.

    We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
    You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE!  After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
    Hope this helps!

  • I am not able to connect with another ipod via bluetooth can u pls help me

    i am not able to connect with another ipod via bluetooth can u pls help me

    Are yo trying to pair via an app that supports BT pairing?  If you are I would try:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Resetting network settings on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • HT201205 Problems connecting 5s to ipad via Bluetooth

    Cannot connect ipad and 5s via Bluetooth. Both running ios7.
    Wasted a whole evening with tech support rebuilding both devices with the same outcome.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Tethering is something completly different. That same support article also says that you can use Peer to Peer bluetooth connections for applications. I also found an application that allows you to send files via bluetooth from my iphone to another or ipod touch or ipad. It is call BlueWaves. Tethering would in theory allow you to connect your iPhone to your iPad and use the internet from the iPhone on the iPad. Apple would not allow this because they have a 3G model coming out. Plus the iPhone is capable of internet tethering but ATT has blocked it from the phones until their network becomes more stable. I hope the information and that application help you accomplish what you would like to.
    Thanks

    Last night I discovered my daughter can connect her iPod Touch 5 (iOS 8.0.2) to my iPhone 5 (also iOS 8.0.2) using the Personal Hotspot function (via Bluetooth) even when Personal Hotspot is set to OFF on my phone.  Is that really working as intended by Apple?
    If she tries to connect via WIFI, she cannot unless I have the Personal Hotspot set to ON.  OK good, that makes sense!
    If she connects via Bluetooth though, she always sees my phone and if she selects that connection, it turns my Personal Hotspot on my phone from OFF to ON.  That just seems odd to me.  I'd prefer to restrict that.  I have noticed that even if I change my password on the Personal Hotspot, it does not matter.  If she selects that connection via Bluetooth, BOOM...  It changes it on my phone from OFF to ON.
    Anyone else notice this?  Sure, I can turn off Bluetooth on my phone to stop it, but I use BT quite a bit for speakers and in my car.  I usually prefer to leave it ON.  She also uses BT for her wireless speaker.
    IMO, Apple should change that to if I have my personal Hotspot set to OFF, it should not be visible at all unless I turn it ON (like it works over the wifi connection).
    Personal hotspot is a carrier feature.

  • PC Suite - connect only ONE phone via Bluetooth?

    Every time I launch the PC Suite to connect MY phone via Bluetooth, every Nokia phone in the house -which was once connected to the PC Suite- gets asked to connect, many times. This is very annoying for other people who obviously have no intention of using the PC Suite at that moment.
    I just want to connect MY OWN phone via Bluetooth. Is this possible somehow?
    I know the phones can be set to connect automatically, so that they don't get nagged, but that's not a good solution. There should be an option to select which phone(s) to connect. 

    Hi,
    Is it alright to un-pair your PC's bluetooth connectivity on other phones[On rest of the phones, they can unpair bluetooth connectivity with your pc], so that they wont get connected unless and until they want to connect?

    Is it possible to connect an external camera via bluetooth to the Iphone 4 and use it with Facetime, if not.. why?

    Ok, in 2015 is it possible now? I would like to use an iPad and Face to share content between a dressmaker in Asia and a customer in the US, and I would like to attach better camera's than the built-in camera's on the devices.
    Any thoughts? Any updates to the original post?
    Thanks,
