HELP - BLUETOOTH FILE TRANSFER FROM PC TO MACBOOK NOT WORKING....

Hi,
My Macbook is paired to my PC and both PC and Macbook can see each other...
The Macbook can also see files in my PC and can directly "Get file"
I can even "Send file" to my PC from the Macbook
I can even do other tasks like deleting files from my PC etc from my Macbook...
But When I try to send a file from my PC to my Macbook the transfer never works - The PC says: "Could not connect to the remote device"
Help plz...

On your dock or in applications in finder is an application called system preferences. Open it. Then click bluetooth. Go under sharing and set your bluetooth sharing options.
Then under the system preferences there is another item called sharing. Check your firewall settings there.

  • Bluetooth file transfer from BB Z10 to Windows 7 Laptop

    I have my BBZ10 (OS 10.2.0.424) successfully paired with Windows 7 Laptop. I often use the BBZ10 BT Internet Teethering. It works very well.
    However, when I want to transfer a file from BBZ10 to my Laptop. I follow this process
    In the background the Internet Teethering is ON, and working
    select the file in Z10 File Manager.
    click on share icon to share using BLUETOOTH
    Before pressing the name of my paired devices on Z10. I click Bluetooth icon on laptop and select 'receive a file'. This opens a box showing the laptop is waiting in receive mode.
    Then I select my paired computer name on Z10 to initiate transfer.
    The transfer bar appears on Z10 showing the progress, but in 4-5 seconds, it says 'TRANSFER CANCELLED'.
     And on my laptop it says 'BLUETOOTH FILE TRANSFER NOT COMPLETED'.
    i have used exactly same process with my BB 9800 several times with success.
    Another thing I note is, if the Internet teethering is OFF, I cannot turn BT connection to the laptop on. It come up with error message ' Cant' connect , you must turn on internet teethering on yoru device.'
    Please troubleshoot.

    hi eddie-n200,
    Can you send a file from the laptop to the cellphone? If you can, check if the "Allow remote devices to browse, send, and receive pictures, music, and other files" option is enabled on the BT settings:
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    As an alternative, you may also want to try Bluesoleil or similar software to send/receive from the laptop.

    Hope this helps

  • Bluetooth file transfer from Sharp GX29 mobile phone to iBook

    hello all,
    got a new sharp gx29 mobile phone.
    problem:
    cannot send files via bluetooth to my ibook.
    but can send from ibook to Sharp.
    when trying to send from phone, a dialog window opens on mac os x, asking whether accept or cancel the transfer.
    no matter how many times i click on accept, nothing happens, sometimes it hits it, and goes further to a transfer dialog window with the transfer progress bar, but it starts to transfer and stops at about 5-10%, and nothing happens.
    Any one has Sharp GX series and problems like me?
    I know that Sharp is not supported by isync, but that's not what I am trying to do (isync), just a normal file transfer.
    Thnx
    Tom

    I myself have missed the obvious many times so I'm going to ask.
    In System Preferences/Bluetooth/Sharing. Do you have: Bluetooth File Transfer and File Exchange checked???? Then make sure your settings in the pop up menus on the right are correct.
    If you have everything set properly in Bluetooth preferences on your iBook then you might try the Sharp web site for troubleshooting since you can't send files via Bluetooth to your iBook, not the other way around. Sounds like maybe your Sharp possibly has something blocked somewhere...

  • I installed Office:mac 2011 on my new iMac running 10.8.3 and discovoed my file transfer from my old macbook installed Office:mac 2088. Now I have both installed and none of the office apps work - I keep getting the same error message

    I recently purchased an iMac to replace my 2008 macbook.
    I used migration assitant to transfer all of my macbook files to the iMac. I noticed that I had the old 2008 version of Office:mac 2008 on the iMac and decided to install Office:mac 2011 which installed successfully.
    However, now I can't open excel or word or powwerpoint now using either 2008 or 2011.... I just get an error message saying there was an error and the app had to close. It offers to send a report to Microsoft.
    I tried moving Office:mac 2008 to trash but this didn't resolve the issue.
    Can anyone help (I am not a really sohpisticated user so be gentle)
    Thanks Dave

  • Internet Connect ported over from from iBook to MacBook not working

    I recently bought a MacBook to replace my iBook. Not wanting to bring everything over I chose not to use the migration assistant and opted to bring certain files and programs over via firewire target mode. One of my choices was to bring over Internet Connect since I thought that would bring over my VPN settings. I think, however, the G4 version may not be entirely compatible with the intel/universal aspects of my new and already beloved MacBook.
    I can connect to the Internet without problem but when I open Internet Connect I get no signal strength indication, the base station ID is not available, checking the box to show the Airport status in the menu bar does not place the status in the menu bar (it shows up fine in the iBook and my iMac G5). The summary tab just gives me Airport link status not available but does indicate how long my current connectivity to the Internet has lasted.
    Is there any fix or reinstallation for Internet Connect possible? Thanks.
    iMac G5 and iBook G4 and now MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    No part of the operating system from your G4 iBook is compatible with a new Intel MacBook.
    You will have to replace any system files that you "brought over" from the G4 from the MacBook Installation DVD. The iBook is not Universal Binaries. That's why it is not working.
    If you don't wanna use the migration, then you'll probably have to set up your VPN settings manually again.

  • Help!! Jumping from lightroom to photoshop not working!

  • Getting error in file transfer from one system to another system

    Hi All
    One of my client (User) wants to transfer his file from  SAP R/3 System SAP XI system. He is using a customize t-code ZFIR0325 (Trial balance report transfer to Hyperian System). When user execute the  program he is getting error "File Transfer Failed due to Network chk with Admin"
    I checked with Network team but they said it is okay from their side. We also check for authorization but there is no issue regarding authorization.
    Name of File Path of Aplication Server, XI destinaion and XI directory entered by user is correct.
    We also put authorization trace in XI System to RFC User (In file transfer from one system to another system this RFC User is geeing Used) but no authorization issue was found.
    Please help me to resolve this problem. I any detail require I will provide the same.

    Firstly, no one in the community can answer on how a custom transcation code and a program associated with it behaves.
    If there are no authorization issues in the system, you have to look at the exact error message. Look if your XI system is allowed to receive files from the SAP system.
    Unfortunately, you should do some more home work before putting your question here. If everything is fine and configured correctly, then the issue might be with the program.

  • Nokia lumia 610 ringtone,and bluetooth file transf...

    i have nokia 610 and i have donwloaded a ringtone from marketplace i mean song and i want to set it as my ringtone 
    what should i do in order to set that song as my ringing tone pls tell
    and more thing if i want to send any file to other mobile do i need a special software or anything like that 
    thank you
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Once you have downloaded and saved the new ringtone, you can set it as your ringtone by going to Settings>Ringtones&Sounds>Ringtone, Scroll to the top because this is where you will find all your downloaded ringtone. Just select the one you want to use.
    Your Lumia 610 does not support bluetooth file transfer for the moment. However, this feature will be added with the next WP7.8 update which is due soon. In the mean time you can transfer files to other phones by using Skydrive or by emailing. 

  • File transfer from one system to another system

    How can I use ODI to do file transfer from one system to another system ?
    Do I need to create Models or I have to simply use Jython procedure/script to do the same ? Kindly help. I have done DB to DB using Knowledge Modules. But I am not able to understand this piece.
    Kindly help.

    If you are asking about file transfer use ODI FTP tool to do it. If you are asking about file transformation..
    You can not do file transformation directly in ODI like we do in any other ETL tool like data stage or Ab Initio.. File transformation in ODI can be done using staging database in an interface(i.e ELT way).
    Create source and target data stores for the file to be transformed. Create an interface using File to SQL LKM to load the file into staging database and then use SQL to File Integration knowledge module.
    Thanks,

  • Ipod touch bluetooth file transfer

    I recently asked about file transfer from an ipod touch to my Mac Mini (Lion 10.7.3) and the answer was it could not be done.  I am just an old retired mainframe systems programmer (well, Sun Solaris also) but I have dealt with a LOT of data transfer methods between computers with different architectures.  So my next question is DUH! why can't you do file transfers between an ipod touch and a mac  via Bluetooth ??!!

    Because Apple has chosen not to make this a feature of the ipod/iphone/ipad.

    If it doesn't work, You may also try to use GPP Services to disable the Bluetooth Support Service (BthServ).
