Mac and Java Phone using BT?

I picked up one of the Jasper GSPDA Java-based phones at the JavaOne conference this year, and I'm having a bit of trouble using it with the Mac's Bluetooth.
I have an original 1GHz 17" Powerbook and the BT connection with the phone is not working very well. When I try to browse the phone, it hangs and the Mac eventually pops up an error saying that the other device has not responded but may be busy. This continues forever (or at least for the ten minutes that I kept dismissing and retrying it :-)).
I am unable to send from the phone to the Mac either. When I attempt to send a file (a jpg in this case), the Mac pops up a dialog allowing me to accept the transfer, which I do, and then it just sits there with the dialog saying that its "Calculating". It never returns. I eventually have to abort the transfer, so that each device resets and I can try again.
The only thing that actually works is that I can send a file to the phone. That works just fine.
What's truly bizarre about this (and what makes me thinks that its the Mac, rather than the phone) is that a friend of mine has a newer 17" PB and everything works just fine when using his PB and my phone.
I looked at the system configuration for the BT on both machines: mine is the Cambridge Silicon radio (f/w version 2.1586), his is the Cambridge Silicon radio (f/w version 3.1695).
I tried downloading the Bluetooth Updater from the Apple website, installed and ran it, but it says that my firmware is up to date (I used the BT Update 1.02 version, since thats the latest I could find).
Does anyone have any clue what could be the problem here? Why is it that his machine and mine are working so much differently (just as an aside we're both running 10.4.6 OS).
Any clues would be greatly welcomed. If I can't get this to work, I guess I'll have to find a different phone...
Thanks

  • Syncing contacts with my mac and my phone using isync

    Hi
    I have had a macbook for the past 7 months and have bee using isync on an irregular basis and with different mobile phones. So far it has been going well.
    I have recently acquired a nokia 6230 and i have synced it with isync. I thought it had worked.
    I realised the other day that a number of contacts are missing.
    I went back to isync and tried to re-sync my phone to get the entries on my mac to be sent to my phone, but no. I sync seems to think that if a contact isn't present on my phone, then its not needed. The missing contacts are definatly on my mac (31 to be precise) and all i want to do is get them to be sent to my phone along with any other contacts i may add via address book in the future.
    Any suggestions would be amazingly helpful!
    Thanks a mil

    You cannot delete an Apple ID, you just stop using it. Understand that any apps purchased using that ID can only be updated with it. Apps are tied that ID used to purchase them. If you want to use a new ID for everything, you will need to repurchase any old apps using the new ID.

  • Since I upgrade last week my MAC and I phone I can not send an email .

    Hello,
    I open a new Email account to look if the problem come only from GMX. But with the new account it is also not possible to send a Email from my Mac and I Phone.
    Thanks

    I've only seen this happen when a Quicktime video isn't embedded into a html, http://video.mov. When linking a video this way the browser don't use the Quicktime plugin.
    Safari supports HTML 5 and there's a new way of viewing videos in HTML 5.
    <video src="video.mov"></video>
    Videos no long use the embed or object tag.

    This may be causing the problem/conflict when viewing http://video.mov in Safari 4.

    You likely have iCloud turned on in at least Safari. If you don't want Safari to sync between these devices turn one of them off. System Preferences - iCloud - Safari (uncheck the box)

  • I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

  • Changed platforms to mac and wish to use my registered acrobat pro

    Have recently changed platforms to mac and wish to use my registered acrobat pro... please help

    Do you have Acrobat 10 or an older version?  If you have a copy of Acrobat 10 then you can complete the process detailed in Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap to obtain a Mac OS version.
    If you have an older version then you will want to purchase the upgrade to Acrobat 10.  We no longer offer older versions of Acrobat.

    Thanks Kappy, I let it do the scan and when it stopped halfway through and demanded registration I stopped and deleted it.  I still have the icon in the menu bar at the top of the screen and don't know how to remove it.  If this is not possible I can live with it.  I am new to Mac and have trouble divorcing myself from my old PC habits!

  • I backed up my iPhone and then did a sync and the iPhone is missing photos and so is my Mac and my phone will not let me delete them or on my iMac either.

    So I bought a used Mac from my friend. I have the udated software and an iPhone 5 with the newest software. I have backed up my phone at least 4 times and all the photos and videos I need and wanted were on the phone. I did a backup and synce last night to itunes and now my phone has random old photos on it and I can't remove them or delete them. I also tried to restart iphoto and uninstall it and now it asking me to buy it for my Mac. I looked in the library for the photos and they are not there and used the preview option for it. Don't know how to recover or find them on my Mac. I have to have these photos for a company meeting and can't reproduce. Since the new updates with Mac and iPhone with the OS7 it has been really wierd and NOT working right. Also something to point out is that the events on my phone show up for the folders but they don't show up on my mac and didn't before. They only show up as dates but on my phone show as names that gave them. Help please! My presention is on the line. I've not been happy when I made the switch to everything apple.

    I went back to iOS 7 and my backup file is restoring but when its done nothing is on my phone still and only takes 11-15 minutes to restore the backup instead of taking 25+ minutes like usual so I guess the backup is corrupted. How can I fix this?

  • Need help with mac and java

    Hi, I'm trying to develop an application on a Machintosh OSX 10.2.8 machine.
    I'm having a herrendous time trying to get quicktime to work on it.
    I've somehow managed t oget 1.3.1 and QTJava.jar to work together but now i need encryption, however that requires 1.4+
    Now 1.4.1 doesnt work with quicktime
    I've downloaded the latest software upgrades but Ive got no idea how to set up quicktime to work with java 1.4.1
    Now to add on top of that mac reports it can use AES encryption. this is from source code ripped striaght from this website.
    But first and foremost can anyone, annyonee help me out with setting up 1.4.1 with quicktime?
    Thank you

    If you need encryption with Java 1.3.1, download the JCE from either Sun (http://java.sun.com/products/jce/) or Bouncy Castle (http://www.bouncycastle.org/).
    Cheers,

  • Why are some messages pushing to mac and not phone?

    I am very frustrated, as, I have had occational times where a text bypasses my phone and goes to my macbook. My wife will use the laptop frequently and it happens sometimes when she is on the computer.   It will somtimes send a text the computer even if somone is not using it, though.  How do I get the system to send the message to both devices, or, to simply stop all texts from going to the computer?  thx

    Log out of iMessage on your Mac, and the messages will be forced to only go to your phone.   If your phone has no signal at time the message was sent to you, that could explain why Mac is getting but not your phone.
    I'd first try to logout of iMessage on both devices, then reactivate first on your phone, then your Mac.   See if problem fixes itself.

  • Macs and Java 1.6 -- advice, please?

    Hi everybody,
    I have a Java application that I want to port across Windows, Mac, and Linux, but it uses Java 1.6, and from what I've been gathering from a day or two of research, Java 1.6 is fairly limited on Macs. Can anyone give me some advice on what I should do? I can't remember everything I use from 1.6 off the top of my head, but it's at least SplashScreen and FilenameExtensionFilter.
    Thanks,

    Whoa, wait a minute. All the Macs in the last few years have been Intel 64-bit, without exception? How long is this "few years"? 2005? 2006? I haven't heard anything about that, where did you learn that? I would say 2007. Maybe a bit earlier. Apple totally dropped PPC at the start of 2006 and then started using 64 bit almost exclusively very soon after. I must admit that some of this is my conjecture but it seems to me that Apple didn't bother with a 1.6 non-64 bit because they didn't want to support and develop a newer Java on hardware they consider "obsolete".
    If the Macs that handle 1.6 are 64-bit, why can't they handle dynamic library loading?I have absolutley no idea.
