Sending file with bluetooth from laptop to phone

I am having great difficulty sending file from laptop to phone using bluetooth. I can send files from phone to laptop.
I have followed the instructions from this link: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth .
also i am using xfce4 as my Desktop Environment.
any other help would be greatly appreciated.

The thing is, this is not the topic you started, so it is solved . The OP used Xfce, and I linked him to a solution on how to do so - on Xfce. So yes, it is solved. He's the only one to say so. As you say, your problem is different, so you might want to bump your own topic instead .

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?

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.

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 files via Bluetooth from my BB 8310 to my Mac OS X 10.5.5

Trying to send files/pics via Bluetooth from my BB 8310 to my Mac OS X 10.5.5. with no luck.
From the menu options from the chosen picture I want to send, I select "send using Bluetooth"
It then prompts me to select a device.
I select my MacBook (BB and my Mac obviously paired).
Then the a File Transfer message tells me : "Failed to Find Service"
Please help.
Thanks

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

Send File with Bluetooth

I am attempting to send/beam a file to another friend using Bluetooth and my Bluetooth is enabled, but when I click the "Send File" tab under my Bluetooth icon nothing happens.
Suggestions?

for what it is worth, i have never been able to get the dropdown menus from the bluetooth icon to function in Tiger, UNLESS i open and keep open in the background 'Bluetooth File Exchange' located in the utilities folder. the behaviour is odd and i am surprised no one else has noticed this 'bug'.

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.

Trouble sending files via bluetooth from my powerbook to Blackberry Pearl

I didn't know who else to check first. So I'm taking a chance here. Over the weekend I made the big step of purchasing a Blackberry Pearl 8100. I was looking forward to trying the bluetooth feature. So I paired my phone with my Powerbook G4. Everything good there. I did a test by sending a photo from the phone to the computer. No problem there. Then I wanted to send a backdrop from my pb to my Blackberry. Problem: the computer displays" Device does not have the necessary services." I'm trying to figure out if this a Blackberry or an apple problem. At this point I'm stumped. Before I check with Blackberry I would love to find out if anyone who has a Blackberry Pearl is or had this problem.
Thanx!

so, i did a little more digging with regards to this problem and found from this forum the answer
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7031519&#7031519
read on DeEpAk KoSaRaJu reply.
I just transfered a file (mp3) to my dad's BB pearl.
Hope this helps you.

Up to now I have been using Bluetooth mostly for my mouse; today, however, I decided to use it to transfer some files, and I couldn't do it. I tried to get some instructions on the internet (e.g., http://www.7tutorials.com/transfer-files-between-devices-your-windows-7-pc-bluetooth ); but they didn't help. Does anyone know how to do this on a W530 (2438.2HU)?

We are all iphone useres just like you. We have no way of knowing why Apple makes the decisions that they do, nor are we allowed to speculate about it on these forums.
Sorry.

How can I send files via Bluetook from my Tour to other phones?

How can I send files via Bluetook from my Tour to other phones?
I have even been able to pair to the other device, but I don't see the option to send/copy/move files through Bluetooth.
I can only send my Address book via bluetooth.
Please help!!

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!

How do I send files using Bluetooth on the new Blackberry Curve 3G OS 6?

Hello everyone,
I have recently updated my BB Curve (9300) software from version 5.0 up to version 6.0 Bundle 1478. I tried to send normal files (pics, videos or even music) via Bluetooth to another device (whether PC or another BB phone) but I could not find the "Send Using Bluetooth" option that I used to have on my old software version (5.0). Also when I tried to receive any file I could not find the option "receive using Bluetooth" that was on version (5.0). Is there any solution? How to send files over Bluetooth on the new BB Operating System (6.0)?
Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Please double check the steps in this KB to ensure you are following them all:
KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
As you discovered, for receipt, there is no longer, under 6.0, the requirement for "Receive Using BT" step on the receiving BB.
Good luck and let us know!
