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.

  • 6120 - receiving music files via bluetooth

    the phone currently receives bluetooth-received music files (.aac) and places it in the message inbox
    and there's no option to transfer it to the sd card.
    i can't use pc suite while on the go...
    unlike other phones where it is saved in a received files folder, the 6120 doesn't have this (or i haven't seen it yet).
    is there a way to transfer it directly from the inbox to the memory card?
    thanks in advance.

    hi ,

  • 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:

  • Cannot send file via bluetooth from galaxy s5 to mac yosemite os x

    Recently upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks and now cannot receive any files via bluetooth
    on my Galaxy S5.  I can however receive files on my s5 from Yosemite.
    Restarted mac with CMD+OPT+P+R, disconnected USB, waited 3 minutes on shutdown and reset bluetooth settings
    but still no joy.
    Please post any other solutions.
    Your comments would be deeply appreciated.
    cheers.

    Tripper: Sorry for my delayed response (very sick dad in the hopsital). Also, sorry I answered the *wrong* question. To transfer files:
    On each Mac OS X 10.5-based Mac, from the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Sharing.
    Check (click) the "On" box next to Bluetooth Sharing.
    Close the Sharing preferences window.
    Select the file that you want to transfer.
    Select "Send Using Bluetooth" from the Blackberry menu.
    You will now receive a pop-up asking you to select a device. Select the paired computer you want to transfer the file to.
    The file will start transferring. If you selected "Ask What to Do" in the Bluetooth prefs,you'll get a pop-up on the computer asking you if you want to accept or decline the file transfer.
    That's it. Let me know if you still have problems.
    Good luck,
    Rene

  • Sendinv .vcf file via bluetooth

    Hi guys;
    I m sending .vcf file via bluetooth....
    The file is sent successfully . the prob is that it is not recognized as .vcf file by device.
    Device displays it as a simple file.
    plzzzz help me.......
    Thnx in advance

    Well...for some unknown reason it started working today after a battery pull maneuver (which I had done many times before).
    After a while of receiving files the BT failed to work and disconnected even from my BlueAnt headset.  I made nother Battery Pull and it went back to work again.  
    This forum must have made a miracle just by posting because I swear I had tried everything.
    Good luck to anybody else with the same problem.  If I can help somehow let me know.

  • Laptop G400S Windows 7 cannot transfer file via bluetooth to cellphone

    I'm not sure if this will help you or not...
    I did some additional testing today and "fixed" my problem.
    I grabbed a new (almost fresh install of XP) laptop and installed a Jabra USB BT dongle with the MS BT Stack. Then I installed DM 5.0.1 and plugged the phone into a USB port to get it past the initial configuration.
    Unplugged the BB from USB, went into Device Manager, enabled BT and searched for a new device. It forund the 8350i and finished pairing. Switch from USB to BT connection and DM5 could communicate with the phone (same as the original laptop).
    Went into "Media" and selected "Receive using Bluetooth" while starting a file transfer from the PC. Transfer went through without a hitch. Tried it several more times without any problems.
    Back to the old laptop, I switched off the wireless devices (WiFi and BT) and installed the Jabra adapter. Paired it with the phone and tested, transfers from the PC to the phone now work.
    Unplug the Jabra and re-enabled the internal BT on the laptop, file transfers fail again.
    Same computer, similar BT (both Broadcom), one works and one doesn't. I'm left wondering if there isn't some remnant of the original ThinkPad BT Stack buried somewhere (registry?) that is interfering with the internal adapter.
    My next step will be to install a clean copy of XP on a new HD in the "problem" laptop and see if I can get it working. If I can then that pretty much proves there is something left over or corrupt in the current OS.
    i'm going to uninstall drivers from the problematic VAIO...try installing the same drivers as i have on the Acer (working) and see if this resolves anything as I think it may have something to do with the WIDCOMM...
    after inspection you should have 2 bluetooth radio device drivers and 2 RIM serial port drivers (4 & 5 i believe)...last time i tried doin it and installed 4 RIM drivers...

  • Cannot send files via Bluetooth

    My bluetooth used to work perfectly, but a couple of months ago a weird problem occured. People can send files to my computer normally, but i can't send anything via bluetooth.
    I noticed that my sister has something like "OPEX file transfer" in the services-thingy but for me it says nothing. What's wrong?? Is there something i could do?

    And yes, it is.
    And on the other computer you're trying to send to?
    Have you tried deleting the following from ~/Library/Preferences/
    com.apple.BluetoothExplorer.plist
    com.apple.BluetoothFileExchange.plist
    com.apple.BluetoothSetupAssistant.plist
    and
    com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
    from /Library/Preferences/
    and then restarting and re-pairing the devices?

    please...
    thx a bunch

    Make sure that you have enough phone memory available, even if you are transferring to the memory card.
    When sending files by bluetooth they are transfered (cached) to the phone then the phone transfers them to the memory card.
    Also you should transfer files one at a time.
    If you are transfering lots of MP3's you would be better off using a data cable as it will be a lot quicker.
