I sucessfully transfered files from my Nexus4 to MBP via Bluetooth
1. Go to system preference and select Sharing.
2. Check the Bluetooth sharing.
3. Specify directory to which you want to recieve files from Blue tooth device.
4. Turn Blue tooth off and make it on.
Your MBP is now ready to recieve files from Andoriod phone.

  • Can't receive files via bluetooth from my mobile phone

    Hi there,
    I can't manage to send files from my phone to my MacBook Pro via bluetooth. I have (correctly, IMHO) set the bluetooth sharing options but my phone still can't send files to the laptop. However, I can send stuff from the Mac to the phone. It's a really weird issue, someone could help?

    Hi LadyMarwood,
    I think the best solution for your problem is to try 'Photostream'. You can find this in iPhoto. Since it is photos you are trying to transfer, I think this is the best solution. If you have an active internet connection at home, the photos taken on any of your Apple products will be transferred throughout each device incuding your Mac. This is what I use to access all my photos on any device (iPad). If this is the kind of solution you are looking at, heres the process:
    Go into 'Settings' --> iCloud --> And select Photos there by ticking --> Click 'Options' if you've got it on there and select both 'My Photostream' and 'Photo Sharing'.
    Now, open up iPhoto --> Click on 'iPhoto' on the menu tab (to the left of the top of the screen) and click on preferences from the drop down menu --> Go into iCloud and select all the options.
    The next step is to go to your iPhone and make sure that Photostream is turned on there as well. To do this, go into 'Settings' --> iCloud --> Photos --> and make sure that both 'My Photostream' and 'Photo Sharing' is turned on.
    I think this the best alternative, since I too am an Android mobile owner, and I have to say that I prefer the Photostream option better than any method android offers, just because its in one safe and secure place to access all your photos at anytime and it is an option directly offered by Apple. JUST MAKESURE THAT YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION PROVIDES YOU WITH ENOUGH DATA, SINCE PHOTOSTREAMING DOES TAKE LARGE AMOUNTS TO UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS, AND YOU DON'T WANT A HUGE BILL COMING OUT.
    But hope this helps!

  • Can you send files via bluetooth from a imac to an ipad mini

    Just purchased an ipad mini and was wanting to transfer some pictures via bluetooth from my Imac to my Ipad mini? Is this possible?
    They are paired but when it goes to transfer files, it says connection lost. Is there another way of transfering files from the computer to the ipad mini?
    Any help is much appreciated.

    No, Bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as keyboards and heapphones : supported Bluetooth profiles.
    You can sync photos to the iPad via your comptuer's iTunes. Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (with iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders/albums to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    There are also third-party iPad apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to copy photos to (and from) the iPad via your wifi network.
    For documents you can use the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

    What is your computer OS

  • Can't receive files via bluetooth

    I can send files from my iMac to my Powerbook G4 10.5.5 but when I try send photos or music files from the Powerboook to the iMac (G4 10.5.5) it says the device "does not have the necessary services" What does that mean and why can't I send files?

    This is a matter of hardware and/or software; either lacking
    or present and not fully configured for the situation.
    If the iMac G4 computer did not have the optional Bluetooth
    module installed inside, as a Built-to-order feature when new
    the computer would have to use an external USB Bluetooth
    plug-in (has the antenna inside the dongle with the BT wi-fi)
    and make sure there are adequate drivers installed; and be
    sure the system can see the unit.
    System Profiler can show any BT modules actively available
    to the system; if the drivers are not available or other issues,
    the module may not work; and if something suitable is lacking,
    it will not work.
    So, if the optional built-to-order Bluetooth card was not factory
    installed, you would have to try a third-party USB dongle and
    the correct drivers, unless OS X 10.5.5 already includes them.
    There may be an issue with the antenna (has to receive and send)
    so if the item is a module external to the iMac G4, it may be bad.
    Or, if the problem is in the other computer, that may also need work.
    And there is a chance something else isn't set properly in one or the
    other computer's configurations; if they are otherwise equal.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I can't receive files via Bluetooth File Exchange

    Normally, I fetch my photo's from my Nokia mobile with Bluetooth File Exchange. Just connect, browse to the Pictures folder on the device, and drag-and-drop the photo's I want to a Finder window. However, now this doesn't work anymore. I can drag, but the mouse icon doesn't change to a green plus, and when I release the mouse button, the files fly back to the device browser.
    The only change I can think off, is I installed some Apple updates (iTunes, OS X 10.7.3 supplemental, GarageBand, iPhoto, Safari) but there are no other changes I can think of.

    It's fixed. The solution was to reboot the system.

    How can I send files via Bluetook from my Tour to other phones?
    I have even been able to pair to the other device, but I don't see the option to send/copy/move files through Bluetooth.

    Please help!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    See this KB:
    KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
    Substitute, in the KB, the appropriate instructions for your other device in place of the KB section for the receiving device. Be aware that RIM only supports BT file transfer between BBs...with other devices is technically unsupported. But, it usually works, as long as the two devices are paired, trusted to each other, and each have all of the correct BT services enabled for the configuration of the other device.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • N72 - locate receiving files via Bluetooth

    N72 - I can't locate receiving files via Bluetooth to the location I need

    I'm afraid not.
    This is the safties way, when you receive some files via BT. You should have control over it. In otherway someone can place some unwanted, dangerous file e.g. virus.
    You can decide, delete it or record, and where. But notice, that when you open such a BT message, phone recognise art of file and prompt you where it store.

  • I can't send files via bluetooth

    My problem is that I can receive files via bluetooth, but I can't send files via it. Actually I can see the "receiving file" message on mobile, but as I wanna accept that file, I see a "receiving file" error. I tried this with several other phones, but I still have the same problem. I see this message when I run bluedevil-sendfile from terminal:

  • Sender File Adapter  not able to get file via FTP from an external system

    Hi,
    I have a Sender File Adapter using FTP which polls a server every 10 seconds looking for a file ".xml".  The adapter will connect and pick up the waiting file, but sometimes the adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system. The file is on the server, but despite the polling, the adapter does not pick up it. There is no return error.
    The connect mode is Permanently and the transfer mode is Binary.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks.
    T.

    Hi Teresa,
    does this case appears with a file size higher the others?
    Personally, I do not recommend to have a polling under 1min.
    10s could be too just, if the file is not small and/or if the file server is far (several kilometers) to where the Adapter Engine is, and/or this file server is beside a firewall. Do not forget also that, with previous points, you could have like a conflict, betwen the 1st polling and the 2nd polling, if in less 10s PI adapter has not enough time: to connect to the FTP server (several Km), find the file (perhaps among 100 other files in the directory), go back to the file to Adapter Engine server (several Km again), convert your file to XML message (with a complex Content Conversion), then check the XML structure, and when all that is done, return back to FTP server (several Km), to archive the source file... Well It's my understanding of a FTP exchange with FILE adapter...
    If you really need a 10s polling, that's mean your have a pseudo real time interface. In that case, in my mind file should not be used! but we should use a Web service, JDBC JMS (any exchange without a physical object like a file). For me, it's a non-sens to have a file in that case.
    regards.

  • My new users can not upload files via browse

    Hi there;
    When my recent created users can not download files via the browse within the Internet interface.
    When I hit the via browse I face the following:
    500 Internal Server Error
    oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10406: Invalid AttributeValue conversion (DIRECTORYOBJECT to Java DirectoryObject)
    oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10200: Unable to access object (insufficient privileges)
    Any hint?
    Sasan Ebadian

    Hi Sasan,
    These are the ACL's of IFS:
    PRIVATE Grants no permissions to any other user. Other users cannot view, modify, or delete a user’s document in any way, unless changed by the owner.
    PROTECTED For folders only. Enables other users to see the files in the folder, add documents and folders to the folder, and remove documents and folders they have created from the folder, but are not allowed to delete the folder itself.
    PUBLIC Allows full access to the item. All users can make any changes that the owner can make.
    PUBLISHED Allows other users to view the contents, but they are not allowed to modify or delete the document.
    If you attach the ACL Public it must work!
