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:

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.

Can't send files via bluetooth

Hi,
I have a mac book pro with a Sony Ericson T610 connected via bluetooth.
When I try to launch the 'send a file...' in the BT menu it opens a application during half a minute then shutdowns it.
So no app to send file from my mac to my mobile.
note: I have the same kind of problem when I want to add a printer to my system. The app launch then shutdowns directly.
Any idea?
Thanks

Here's my sentence in the console:
2006-08-01 23:53:29.545 Bluetooth File Exchange[521] Unable to load nib file: MainMenu, exiting
(same error with the printet setup)
In the meantime: I'v made a video to show what's the issue:

During the video I tried several times with the 'send files..' of the BT and also tried to add a printer in the printer configurator.

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?

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!

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!

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

Can't "Browse Device" or "Send File" via Bluetooth

Hi,
I can't activate the "Send File" or "Browse Device" windows with any of my Bluetooth phones (N70 and T650i). I can do iSync using Bluetooth with them. I can send files from these phones to my iBook via Bluetooth. Nokia Media Transfer via Bluetooth works also. I've enabled Bluetooth Sharing (and File Sharing) in Sharing preferences.
The Bluetooth setting in the phones is such that all connections are always allowed
What's weird is when I installed Salling Clicker and when it needed to send the client program to the phone the "Send File" window appeared. This means that "Send File" is "working" (at least during Salling Clicker installation).
Any tips?
Thanks

It seems the Bluetooth File Exchange app can't launch from my Bluetooth menu icon. Manually launching from the Finder finally worked

Cannot send files via bluetooth from phone to PC

Dear All,
I am having a problem trying to send files from my E71 to a PC.
I can send files from my PC's (both Ubuntu & Windows) no problem but if I try to send a file from my E71 (i have tried both a pdf, picture & video) the phone just says "Sending failed".
I can browse the phone via blueetooth in both Ubuntu and Windows so i know the connectivity is there. Both Ubuntu and Windows have the options set to allow incoming file transfers.
Is this normal behaviour? Has anybody else experienced this problem or seen anything else about this?
COM

Hi Com,
which Bluetooth stack are you running under Windows?
I know that with the M$ stack, you explicitly need to right-click on the BT icon and choose "Receive a File". I have successfully used this before to get files from my E71.
Regards,
Dane
Proud E71-1 owner (yeah!)
