Mini ipad bluetooth won't accept file transfers anyone experiencing same?

I am having trouble transferring files from my Mac Pro to my mini Ipad through bluetooth. I receive a message stating "this devices does not have the required services". What can be done to fix this problem. I have looked through the manual and do not find an article addressing change or establishment of services for bluetooth.

iOS does not support file transfer over Bluetooth.

IChat won't accept file transfers? Missing Plug-in

My iChat recently stopped accepting automatic file tansfers. Instead of a file, a "Missing Plug-In" icon pops up.
How do I fix this?

Hi,
Reinstall iChat
There is no realistic way of grabbing an individual component.
IF you are using Time Machine to do your backups and are certain when the app was working properly you could try Restoring it from the Backup.
The real issue as you will see reading the Reinstall info is that some of the iChat functions are held in support files and apps. Hence the suggestion to Reinstall.(Start with the App itself (Easy Way))

My Ipad got switched off while file transfering through bluetooth and not switching on

If your iPad is not switching on then try a reset : press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for about 10 seconds when the Apple logo should appear (you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot).

I have pages 09 0n my Mac Mini, but iCloud won't accept pdf documents not created in pages...

I have pages 09 0n my Mac Mini, but iCloud won't accept some pdf documents not created in Pages (Its says Document format not supported).
How do I get docs (pdf/jpg etc.), that are saved under "Documents" on my Mac Mini (Not in Pages), onto iCloud???
I want to transfer (None Pages) documents from the Mac Mini to my iPad 3 (Which has Pages for iPad 3).
Thanks in advance for ANY Feedback!

You can download PDF files from iWork's page to a mac, but you can't upload from mac. Also, you can't use iCloud like MobileMe's iDisk. Most document formats on your mini can't be copied to iCloud. Use Dropboc instead.

Why does it say "doesn't accept file transfers"?

when I try to send a file over ichat I keep getting the message that "ichat doesn't accept file transfers" What am I doing wrong?

HI,
It can depend on which Jabber server you are using and what has been enabled on that particular Server.
That's one possible.
Another is that the Applications at the other end is not set up to accept File Transfers, such as someone logged in to AIM Express in a web browser will have limited abilities.
Finally, AIM file transfers are on a different port and or internet protocol and this port (and or the Protocol) may not be allowed though your Mac settings in.
Lets start with the last.
AIM Logins in version up to and including version 5 are on port 5190 by default using the TCP Protocol.
We (The regular posters) have been suggesting using port 443 for this for a long time. Now iChat 6 and Messages in Mountain Lion actually use port 443.
File Transfers on on Port 5190 but use the UDP Protocol.
It always uses this and this cannot be changed.
In the Mac Firewall in some versions of the OS UDP traffic can be blocked.
Check the Advanced Button settings.
Of course the port has to be opened in the modem (if it routes) or your router.
In some cases such as the Port Forwarding method you can have models that specify Protocol as well as ports. Opneing it for 5190 and TCP can block it being opened for 5190 and UDP.
If you are using UPnP (Or Apple's Port Mapping Protocol) you should not have problems.
With the second option above you can pull down the Video Menu and open Connection Doctor.
This will tell you your Capabilities.
In a Buddy List highlight a Buddy.
Use the CMD and i keys together (Get Info)
The Capabilities tab in here will tell you whether the Buddy has the abilities to File Transfer.
The first option I suggested can only really be checked using a Third Party Jabber app such as Psi
Basically after you set up an Account in Psi you can access an option called Service Discovery that iChat (and Messages in Mountain Lion) does not do.
This will tell you if the server is set up for File Transfers or Group chats plus things called Transports.
With some servers you will need to (sub) register for the Services you also want to be active.
Using this method to view Google's GoogleTalk server tells you nothing about the Services they have active.
As you may have worked out you may need to check out the server's ability if you are using a Jabber servers even if the symptom looks more like reason two.

Messages cannot accept file transfers

Communicating just fine between two computers on Messages, but one of the computers gets an error message when we try to attach a small picture of any kind. It says that the intended recipient cannot accept file transfers, yet the other user can send them to that user just fine. Both computers in the same room on the same wifi network (doing that to test, not to avoid talking to each other in the same room!)
The computer that is getting the error message can't send to other users either. Same error message, so it's not just one recipient that "cannot accept file transfers", which makes me feel that it's an issue with the sending computer.

Hi,
In the Window Menu use the File Transfer option to display the File Transfer Window.
Does this give any further Info ?
What sort of Account is this chat taking place on ?
AIM, Bonjour, iMessages or Jabber.
Not all Jabber servers allow File Transfers.
AIM Transfers need port 5190 on the UDP protocol to be Open. (preferably your router should be using UPnP to allow two computers to use the same ports)
If iMessages open the Activity Monitor in Applications/Utilities
Does this list URLFileTransferAgent ? (It should not - and the File transfer window probably says "waiting")
Does it list IMFileTransferAgent ?
This is used by AIM and Jabber transfers.
If either are present highlight them and then use the Quit Option top left and confirm Force Quit.
From the way you post the details I am thinking it is more likely to be an AIM transfer you are talking about.
If this is the case then try a PRAM reset.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down Apple/CMD ( or ⌘)+ALT( ⌥)+P+R Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.

Hi,
I am reading your post that those are your specs.
Is that correct ?
How are they logged in ?
PDF link to the Snow Leopard server info
As you may know you have to set your server to Federate to other servers and may need to invoke the port 7777 for the Proxy65 File Transfer port to allow Server to Server File Transfers.
See this Flash based view of page 17
To clarify that:
The app can do App to App File Transfers (most Jabber apps use port 1080 for this).
It can be assisted by the Server port if required using the Proxy65 File Transfer item.
However the other end still needs to be logged in to an App rather than Web Login (Google, Facebook) and be an App that can do File Transfers.

Reset ipad, now won't accept my original passcode

ITunes wasn't working so reset iPad, now won't accept my passcode. Is there a default I need to use?

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Why MacBookPro/Motorola pair but won't accept file?

I pair fine with my Motorola razr phone, isync syncs contacts etc. fine, but when I try and send a file, phone alerts "Incoming Transfer", then asks if I wish to accept the transfer, and as soon as I press "accept" it flashes "Failed: connection interrupted".
Then I went into sharing prefs, tried to click (enable) bluetooth sharing, but it won't accept enabling, the checkbox stays empty.
I'm pretty good with this stuff but on this I'm clueless. Any help most appreciated. Thank you.

I have a Motorola Razr2 V9m, and I can't even get that to sync with my Mac. The phone keeps trying to connect to the computer, and the computer doesn't even recognize the phone. Is apple ever going to fix this, am I doing something wrong, or am I just s.o.l.?

New Playbook won't accept file transfer from blackberry or computer

I bought a Tablet 3 days ago and spent an insane amount of time searching for an answer. It bridges fine with my 9700 and I can go back and forth, my wifi connection / bluetooth are fine.
When I try to send photos from my 9700 to my Tablet, I get a message saying tranfer failed unable to connect.
When I plug it to my computer via USB, I cannot transfer photos or music either - connection failed.
What is going on? It is not my connections or bluetooth or wi-fi.
Is it a defective Tablet?

I spent a total of 9 hours on the phone with 3 different Tech Support people and finally worked but what they had me do totally messed up my computer. The Playbook does not work the same way as your cell phone so a lot of computers / servers won't accept it.
I had enough and returned it, got an iPad instead and never had any problems.
Main reason: it finally worked on my computer but still didn't work on my laptop or my boyfriend's computer.
Apparently it's a huge problem across the board and they are aware of that. Too late for me.

How can I auto accept file transfers in Messages?

There used to be a setting to enable an auto-accept of file transfers in Messages.app (desktop version). This looks to be gone in Mavericks. I use Messages for work and need the ability to just auto accept files that my team sends me via IM. Thanks.

Hi,
That is because it is only now linked to the Messages Received option in the section at the top.
The actual Script (Messages app Right click > Show Packages Contents > Contents/Resources/Scripts) still contains the info to Auto Accept any invite.
The new script contains some lines to prevent errors.
You would probably need to extract the bits you needed and run the AppleScript all the time.
i.e. someone has changed the Script for Messages 8 but has not allowed the same access to the Script by the app for the things it is supposed to do.
If enough people complain or give Feedback hopefully the Alerts pane will come back
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html
I use this page as Messages is built on the iChat Engine.
The page has never been brilliant at keeping up to date (it does not even list iChat 6 for Lion) so put you specs in the free text area.

Palm Pre lack of Bluetooth OBEX profile (NO FILE TRANSFERS!)

Great job palm.....
Always finding some small way to let your customers down.
Down anyone know a workaround to get the Bluetooth OBEX profile working or at least a way to transfer files wirelessly.
Thanks a ton (THE COMMUNITY NOT YOU PALM)!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

that sucks.....
my lowly Instinct could do it........and THAT wasn't a "smart" phone....
I guess the Pre isn't as "smart" as we all thought?
I'm sure it will be in a future upgrade.........(hopefully..)
it seems that Palm was in such a rush to get this phone out the door, they left out alot of basic functionality that most "lower" phones have.

I have a Mac Mini, and it won't accept connecting my Sony video camera. So I got a SD mem card reader to unload my movies from. It worked the first time I used it a few months ago. This time it says it doesn't recognize the format I am trying to use?

I have all thenecessary updates. I have switched over from a PC to Mac back in April and have nad nothing but problems adapting. I don't know why this worked the first time, and put my videos inti imovie, and now it doesn't recognize it at all. And the Mem card reader does work, because I just put the SD card from my regular camera into it and it downloaded those fine, it just won't take my movies!

Which sony camera? I have a Sony HDR-CX550 right now and have been able to use the SD card as well as connect the camera directly. I also had CX110 that work too. You may want to try to copy the complete top level folder from the SD card to the Hard drive, then try to "import from Camera archive" and select that folder.

Mac Mini (mid 2010) won't accept upgrade to 8GB

Hi All -
Trying to upgrade from original 2 + 2 GB to new 4 + 4 GB. Spec says 8 GB is OK. The new memory is PNY type DDR3 1066 MHz PC3-8500 (this meets Apple spec). With 8 GB installed machine will not start (1 beep every 5 s = no memory). However, if I install 2 + 4 = 6 GB everything is OK. It cannot be a faulty 4 GB module because either 4 GB works separately. I have tried reseating the modules numerous times. The Mac Mini is 2.66 C2 Duo with preinstalled Mac OS X Server Ver. 10.6.8. All related software is fully up to date.
What is happening, and can it be sorted? Many thanks.

maybe it is that one RAM module is bad, try to exchange them for a new one. I had that happen once bought bad RAM.
I have that year mac mini and it runs so much better with the 8GB.

Why do I get an error in airdrop saying it won't accept files.

I get an error from my MacBook Air and my iMac each saying something along the lines of invalid ID when I try to AirDrop files from one device to another.

If no one here can answer that question please repost it in the OS X Lion forum. That feature is part of Lion, pehaps someone there has an idea.
