I am having troubles receiving files from my phone with Bluetooth

So, I am trying to send pictures from my phone to my MacBook Pro via Bluetooth. I have looked at other topics saying under "Sharing" in System Preferences I just have to check the bluetooth part and it will work but it still doesnt work. The only trouble I am having really is finding the files that are sent. I have it set to go to my Documents but I cant find it there. Any help would be great.
Thanks

Iphone supports bluetooth for stereo headsets/speakers, telephone headsets/handsfree devices, some peer-to-peer apps from the app store, some keyboards and tethering where provided by the carrier.
Other than this, it will not connect to any phone/device/computer/etc.

    I am having trouble transferring files from an old MacBook (2007) to a MacBook Air over a wireless network.  The connection was interrupted and the time was over 24 hours.  Is there a better way to do this?  I'm using Migration assistant.  The lack of an ethernet port on MacBook air does not help.

  • I am having trouble moving files from iPhoto to a thumb drive.  Sometimes I can move 20 photos next time I can only move 2 photos or 0---this is during the same session.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  Can someone please help?

    I am having trouble moving files from iphoto to a thumb drive.  During the same session sometime I can move 10 photos at a time, the next time I can only move one photo and sometime no photos will move.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  I was using a MacBook Pro and had no problems like this.  I then upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Retina Vision and this is the computer I am having problems with.  Can anyone please give me a suggestion in how to fix this problem. THANK YOU.

    iPhoto problems should be posted in their forums.
    I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.
    Needs clarification.  You upload from your computer to the internet & download from a website/internet to your computer.  So which are you trying to do?  Either way, sounds like a browser issue.  You need to post in the forum of whichever browser you are using.

  • Having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software

    Hi there,
    I am having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software to IOS7. Also I am unable to get i messenger to work, it keeps saying waiting for authorization. I am wondering if anyone else is having these issues and what I can do to fix it.
    Thanks,

    She turned imessage off, then turned it back on again and now it seems to be fine.  Not sure what she did, but she says she's ok now.

  • Hi! I have an x-mini headset which im having trouble pairing to my iPhone 5s with bluetooth, any tips please?

    Hi! I have an x-mini headset which im having trouble pairing to my iPhone 5s with bluetooth, any tips please?

    Cellular calling doesn't yet work reliably.
    Make sure you've followed the instructions in this support article. Note that both iCloud and FaceTime on the Mac must be signed in to the same Apple ID; those are two separate steps. Also note that the Mac and the phone must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Ethernet won't work. Trying to pair the phone to the Mac as a Bluetooth device won't work either.
    If cellular calling still doesn't work, sign out of FaceTime and sign back in. You may have to do the same on the phone. The email address that you use as your Apple ID must be able to receive FaceTime calls.

  • I am having trouble copying files from disk to disk, help.

    I have a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 running Tiger 10.4.3. I am having a problem copying files since I installed Tiger. I am trying to copy from drive "LaCie d2 195 GB", this is a Firewire 800 external drive, to drive "250GB HD", this is an internal drive. The folder that I am having trouble with this morning has 16 PhotoShop files inside of it, it is 768.5 MB. I get this message:
    The finder canot comlete the opperation because some data in "Black Valve 3.psd" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
    I tried to open the file in PhotoShop and it would not open, I had to force quit PhotoShop twice to make PhotoShop to close. I opened a copy of the same file with PhotoShop, that was in another folder on drive "250GB HD" and replaced the file on drive "LaCie d2 195 GB". I opened the newly saved file from drive "LaCie d2 195 GB" with PhotoShop with no problem.
    To test the time needed I coppied the same folder from "250GB HD" to my startup drive in 48 seconds. Next I copied the folder a second time from "LaCie d2 195 GB" to the "250GB HD", it took 10 minutes and 54 seconds.
    My question is do you think the drive is bad or might I reformat "LaCie d2 195 GB" and make it work better?

    Error code -36 is an i/o error. That usually means that the computer is having a problem reading or writing the file you're working with, which in turn usually means that the drive has a problem. A sudden slowdown of the magnitude you meantion usually means a severely damaged directory or physical damage to the disk. I'd run a disk fixer such as Disk Utility or Disk Warrior on the slow drive. If it reports problems which can't be fixed, which I suspect it will, I'd back everything up. I just had a LaCie 250GB drive die on me with similar problems (i/o errors, very slow access) and returned it under the warranty.

  • I am having trouble importing files from file sharing in the same household.  I have followed the tutorials but do not have the tab at the bottom of Itunes "Import to library"

    When I go to file sharing on Itunes, I am unable to import files to my itunes.  I can play them, but am unable to move them to my library.  I have been through the tutorial and when I get to "show menu at the bottom of library" there is no menu.  I do not have the tab "items not in my library" or "import"   I have been through the upper tab and see no option in the view menu and have also consolidated the files.  Any suggestions?

  • Anyone else having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users?

    My daughter has an iphone 4S and just called from college, she can't receive texts from other iphone users anymore.  Worked fine until yesterday.  She can receive texts from me, but I have a droid.  Any idea if this is a Verizon problem or something wrong with her phone?

  • Having trouble exporting file from After Effects CS5.5

    I am trying to add some titles to a Multi Camera mix I have finished. I have exported my multi cam that I created in Premiere Pro as an MPEG.
    So hears what I have done:
    - open After effects
    - create new composition (HD 1080x1440- length 2:16 (so clip fits)
    - I place my clip in the time line the type some text.
    - in the effects bar I click the roll up and select "Browse Presets" which opens adobe bridge
    - I apply my effects and they play back in elements fine...
    When I try to export my clip as a Premiere Pro Project it doesnt keep my animated txt when I open it. Says it does not support the presets. his
    Con someone please help me export this project? Getting very frustrating. I need it as a High Res HD file

    Create the titles in After Effects without the MPEG.  (Or if you must use it as a reference, go ahead and do so, and then when you're done creating the title, delete the MPEG.)
    Then go back to PP and select File>Dynamic Link>Import After Effects Composition...  Navigate to the AE project that has the title, and bring in that composition.  It will appear in your bin as a clip.  Then you add it to the sequence and export the completed video with titles.

  • Having trouble moving files from iWeb to iTunes

    I recently added a podcast page to my website www.soapboxhavoc.com and would like to submit it to iTunes. All goes well until iTunes asks for the file location. I put in the page url but it didn't work. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Is this the link you're submitting?
    http://rss.mac.com/rgerard1/iWeb/Soapbox%20Havoc/Podcast/rss.xml (note the use of "http" instead of "itpc" as shown on your site)
    If it is, you have a couple minor errors to fix as shown at this testing site.

  • Who else is having trouble receiving imessages from just the odd person?

    Hello - I hope you can help me.  My imessages (iphone 4) are sending fine saying delivered, but the person I am sending them to are only receiving some of them.  When my friend replies, their text messages (iphone) are also not coming through to me, or may be the odd imessage is!  Help!  This is really frustrating!  If they are only struggling with sending imessages to me, then what seems to be the problem?  Has anyone else had the same issue!?  Lucy.

    She turned imessage off, then turned it back on again and now it seems to be fine.  Not sure what she did, but she says she's ok now.

  • I'm having trouble migrating files from my MAC G5 Tower 2.3 gig hz. to new Mac Mini i7

    I want to migrate the applications from my G5 Tower to my new Mac Mini.  The mini says that Migration Manager on the G5 needs to be updated.  I do an update and nothing comes up.  I looked at the apple site and there is nothing either.

    You need to use the Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder of your Mini, not the one on the G5.

  • Having trouble navigating away from a page with streaming video or using menu items-extremly slow to react

    I watch twit.tv daily. anytime I am on the twit page and try to open another tab or try to use a menu item it takes an extremly long time to react to mouse click. At least 15 to 30 seconds. This started happening several updates ago for version 3.6.

    So, since I got no reply to my question I took the iPod into the Apple store and tried to dock it to another third party device. Same problem, no digital control of the iPod. After about 30 minutes of looking it over, the Apple Genius agreed the issue was likely hardware related and issued me a replacement. So apart from about an hour of my time in the store and however long it will take me to reload my library, I'm rather pleased.

  • I can't send file from my macbook via bluetooth

    I have this problem, I can't send files from my Macbook with bluetooth. When I click on send a file nothing happens, as if I didn't clck at all. I can still receive files though. It was working last week and I haven't changed my settings since. I checked and everything was still enable. I installed Mackeeper not long ago, I scanned the computer and made a cleanup shortly before it stopped working, I dont know if it could have been the cleanup, but it's troublesome since that was how I transfered my music on my mp3 player. I made a software update too and it didn't change a thing. Please help!! I don't know what to do!

    I guess I'm stumpted.  If the iMessage server is telling you that the recipient's email address/phone number is not registered with iMessage when in fact they are, somehow it's not looking it up correctly (as it is when you try from your phone).  Signing out of the account in preferences, then signing back in is about the only thing I can think of to "restart" iMessage.  I suppose you could try signing out again, then restart your Mac and sign back in.  If you didn't restart your Mac after you signed out of iCloud, you could try that too.  If none of that works, you'll probably have to contact Apple support for assistance.
