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.

    File Sharing over Bluetooth is not a feature of iOS devices. iOS does not include the required Bluetooth profiles to allow this. You cannot add this feature, so you may as well stop trying.

  • Help! I can't move files from my MacBook to my external hard drive!

    Hey all..
    I can't move files from my MacBook to my 40GB hard drive! Whenever i try to do that the com will reply that i can't move the files because the hard drive cannot be modified. This never happened before and how can it be solved?
    Appreciate all answers thanks..

    What filesystem is your external hard drive formatted as?
    You can check this with the program called Disk Utility.
    My guess is that it is formatted as NTFS, the default filesystem for windows XP. Mac OS X only supports read-only access to NTFS-formatted drives.
    Reformatting, and with it erasing everything on your drive, to another filesystem would be a solution if this is the case.
    Google recently released MacFUSE which should allow read-write support to ntfs-drives. Not recommended for the un*x-unexperienced, though.

    how can i send files from my iphone 4s to another iphone with my bluetooth?

    You can't.  That's not a feature of the iPhone.
    There's is an app called Bump that will let you transfer contacts and photos.

  • Can we send files from iphone to another phone like samsung

    can we send files from iphone to another phone like samsung?

    Actually we are not mapping machine name something in webutil.cfg file. We just need to specify the path that from where we will transfer the file from application server to client. And the time time of transfer the path you will
    choose for client webutil will transfer the file on that location automatically.

  • Can't send files from/to MBP Mavericks/ipad

    Hi,

    How disappointing though to read that there is no compatibility for bluetooth.  Had I been made aware of this I certainly would not have bought the ipad.  I find it extremely disappointing that there's no publicity about this fact.  I feel utterly conned by Apple.
    Yes, there is compatibility for BT: headphones, keyboards, speakers, and other peripherals. And, yes, this is very well known. I'm not sure what you expected in the way of "publicity". No manufacturer lists all of the things their product doesn't do.
    Best of luck.

  • To how many bluetooth receptors can I send sound from my MacBook?

    Hi,
    I have two 2.1 surrounds system at home and I would like to pair both with my MacBook via bluetooth to play at the same time. Is that possible? In that case, what should I look for?
    I did a little research and found that a mac can pair up to 7 devices (in the link that follow this message). But it doesn't answer my question. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3887#howmany

  • Is there a way I can get send iMessages from my Macbook Pro?

    I just got My first Macbook Pro and am still trying to figure out how to use it.  I have seen that m friend can send and recieve his text messages on his Macbook Pro and I cant figure out how to get that. When I tried using messages it send it from my email not my phone number.

    First you need to determine what laptop model you have; then we can help you. A Mac Book Pro cannot run OS 9.1.
    With your Mac booted up, click on the  at the far left of the menu. Then click on About This Mac. It will show what version of OS  you are running. What is the version?
    A MBP will be running something like version 10.x.
    If you are running version OS 9.x, you don't have a Mac Book Pro.
     Cheers, Tom

  • How can I transfer files from my macbook pro hard drive to another target drive

    The hard drive on my Macbook is corrupted and so I am trying back up files from the hard drive on my Macbook to a target disc so that I can wipe the hard drive on my Macbook and re-install the system software. I am only able to access the Macbook via disc utilities using the start up system DVD. Is there a way of accessing the files while I'm in disc utilities so that I can transfer to the target disc?

    Some MacBooks have Firewire, while others do not.  See this tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2502
    If both of yours have Firewire, you can use the Target Disk mode described at the end of the tip.  Otherwise, you'll need to pull the hard drive out of the machine that it is in, and put it in a 2.5" hard drive case that supports the ports that are on the other machine.
    Note, if you can't read the data on the other machine, using a data recovery tool to a hard drive at least as large with no data on it is recommended.  This tip explains how to do data recovery:

  • Can't transfer files from old macbook to new retina?

    Hello, I am well aware that the macbook pro retina does not have a firewire 800 port, but rather thunderbolt. Unfortunately I didn't know of this when I asked an apple employee about how to transfer files from my old broken macbook pro (leopard) to the new retina I bought. He only told me to get a firewire 800 wire. So now I have the firewire 800 cable but I cannot connect it to a my macbook pro retina. Is there any way I could transfer files from my broken mac to this one? To be more accurate: my broken macbook pro is just that the screen is broken, otherwise I would just transfer the files by usb; but since you cannot access the computer at all except for turning it on I am unable to do this.
    I do have an alternative theory, if anyone thinks it could work please let me know. My mother has a mac desktop, with a firewire 800 port. Could I transfer my files onto her computer and then transfer those via usb to the new macbook retina? Or is there a way to connect the old broken macbook to the new one? I apologize if I sound very confusing right now, it's just that I finally got my new computer and I cannot transfer my files onto it. Thank you for your help.

    I used wifi to transfer two users and system preferences during setup, since that was a relatively small amount of data.  To transfer my main account (40Gb or so), I turned off wifi on my old laptop, ran an ethernet cable to the ethernet-thunderbolt adapter to mbp-r, ran migration assistant on both - worked fine.  I didn't feel like waiting for the firewire adapter.
