To get two computers to talk via BlueTooth

To get both my computers to talk to each other. Is there a way via BlueTooth or is the only way via Ethernet.
I can get it to work with ethernet, but I can not with BlueTooth, BlueTooth only transfers files or what ever. It can not see the other HD like I can with Ethernet
Richard

You say you want "both [your] computers to talk to each other", but in what way?
What exactly do you want to be able to do between the two? Just copy files? Sync Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks etc.?
Mounting the hard disks and copying files should be quite easy, as long as Sharing is turned on, and both computers are on the same network.
The document below should point you in the right direction:

Why can't I get my iPad to connect via bluetooth to my iPhone 5s?

I never have been able to get my iPhone 4s or the new iPhone 5s to connect with my iPad via Bluetooth. Both are running the latest 7.0.3 software.

What are you trying to accomplish by this type of connection? iOS devices use Bluetooth to connect to dado phones, speakers, some keyboards and a few other devices. Bluetooth on iOS devices is not set up to connect two iOS devices.

Setting up two computers to print via wireless

I'm trying to set up a second computer to print to my HP B209a-m printer. The computer and the printer were linked by a USB cable. The program attempted to set up the wi-fi connection and failed repeatedly. The SSID name and password were correct. Is there a problem setting up two computers via wi-fi. I've printed both from my Android phone and from my HP Touchpad (WebOS version) with no problem. Physically, the computer, router and printer were all right next to each other.

Hi snwyn,
I understand that you are having a problem setting up the printer wireless on a second computer. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue.
To better assist you, could you give me some more information.
1. What operating system are you running on your computer?
2. What error messages are you getting when you try to install?
I am sending this document for The Printer is Not Found During Wireless Network Installation in Windows that has steps that may resolve your issue.
I hope this helps, let me know.
Thank you,

URGENT HELP IS NEEDED!!!!!! How can i get two applet to communicate via a j

I am writing a program that should allow me to communicate between applet. The applet is loaded via the a web site, but i can't get that to work, so i am using appletviewer instead.
I want to establish a connection between the applets thus allowing to chat.
So far i can open both applets up, (using localhost), but the applet isn't able to establish the connection and i have to turn off one of the applet window, before i get a connection, but it won't do anything after that.
I know it is a security problem, but how can i fix this problem.
Please can you help, i am in difficult position
Junaid

I think what u are trying to do is some peer-to-peer communication using applets.
The thing is the applet knows ( via getCodeBase and getDocumentBase methods) from where it was launched. It has no knowledge of where other applets from the same server may be residing.
It looks to me that you will need to do some server-side coding as well..
On possible solution would be to
A) Install and run a Tomcat Server
B) Tomcat can be used as a webserver in limited way .. (refer it documentation ) by defaul it runs on port 8080
C) So you can say http://localhost:8080/
D) Use this launch the applets
E) Using HTTP Tunneling ( Read about it in Servlets ) you can set up Tomcat to broker messages between the 2 applets
Also from you question it appear that both the applets try to hook on the same port, now on one computer (localhost) one port can be used by one socket . Try to get them to use different ports then the appletviewer problems should solve it self.
To use different ports without making 2 different applets , simeply pass the port as a PARAM to the applet

How do you get two computers on same network for mirgration.

I am trying to migrate from an older iMac G5 running the most updated version of TIGER to our new MacBook Air running LION.
The air doesn't have a firewire connection, so it's trying to do it over the wireless network. I have them both on the same network, BUT the new Air is asking for me to update the Migration Assistant on the older machine. Don't have any idea how to do that.
Is there a work around?
Can I use USB connections?

You need to install 10.5.8 on the PPC computer to work with Migration Assistant. It would be easier to clone the drive to an external hard drive. Then restore from the external hard drive using Migration Assistant.

Using iPhone as Modem via bluetooth within Win XP

can any one help me configurating my PC settings getting iPhone working as Modem via Bluetooth within WinXP ...

Does your XP computer support Bluetooth? Are you using a carrier that supports tethering (AT&T doesn't, for example)? If both of these questions were answered in the affirmative, you should be able to connect your iPhone to your PC either under Settings or in the "Add Bluetooth Device Wizard" on your computer. Also, ensure that tethering is enabled in your Settings app.

Connect 2 Palm TX's via Bluetooth

My wife and I each have Palm TX's. It would be nice to be able to connect the two to each other via bluetooth to exchange information, but I am unable to figure out how. One TX will not see the other in the setup modes, even though it is in discover mode. I was able to see and connect our BT phones, but not between TX's.
Suggestions?
Thanks...Len

I'm assuming you're trying to make the two a "Trusted Pair", correct? Bluetooth icon, Setup Devices button, Trusted Devices, Add Device.
When device #1 is looking for device #2, change the search criteria at the top of the page to "Nearby Devices".

Is it possible to share 1 bluetooth keypad and 1 mouse pad between two computers in target mode?

Is it possible to share 1 bluetooth keypad and 1 mouse pad between two computers in target mode? Grab a drink and let me tell you my story.
I purchased two computers... an iMac 27" i7 3.4 16GB RAM and a Mac mini 2.3 i5 8 GB RAM. Both have Thunderbolt capability and are in fact connected by thunderbolt. I have 3 problems...
1. My Mac mini WILL NOT recognize any bluetooth keyboard. Let me back up for clarification. I set my iMac up first. No problems there. I then went on to set up my mac mini. A couple of interesting things happened concering bluetooth activity. First thing is that the keypad, which was already paired with my iMac wouldn't be recognized by the mac mini, and yet my bluetooth mouse which was paired with my iMac became paired with my mac mini and thus wouldn't be recognized by my iMac anymore. I had to go to my back room and dig out my other bluetooth mouse so that my iMac would at least recognize my second mouse. So now I have two "mice"presently. One for the mac mini, the other for the iMac. Thankfully I also had a USB keypad for my mac mini. My bluetooth keypad is still paired with my iMac but won't pair with my mac mini, which brings me to another question....
2. CAN 1 KEYPAD AND 1 MOUSE PAIR WITH TWO DIFFERENT COMPUTERS SO THAT WHEN I GO INTO TARGET MODE VIA THUNDERBOLT I CAN USE THE SAME KEYPAD AND MOUSE FOR BOTH COMPUTERS? Anybody have some thoughts on that problem?
3. WHY IN THE WORLD IS MY MOUSE CURSOR DISAPPEARING EVERYTIME I EXIT TARGET MODE VIA PASSWORD AND COMMAND F2. I'm using target mode to access my mac mini. But when I exit target mode to get back into my iMac I'm looking at my iMac screen but I can't see the mouse pointer! I can move the pointer around even though I can't see it. Wierd. And this has apparently been going on for some time with other users for over a year. I am presently completely up to date on Lion updates. Both systems are running 10.7.4. Does anyone have a solution or heard a rumor of a solution coming soon regarding the invisible mouse cursor "curse". I hate having to restart my iMac everytime I exit out of target mode just so I can get my mouse cursor visible again.
Food for thought.... Wouldn't it be really cool to have a target mode capability to see your other computers desktops in seperate window screens on your main display. You then could go back and forth from each window by just double clicking or by certain key commands. You could drag and drop from desktop to desktop. Tell me this is coming soon.
Thanks

Need help 2 get my new BB to receive my contacts via bluetooth from od phone!

Hi guys, I just got a lovely BB Curve today and have spent the last 4 hours trying in vain to get it receive my contacts list via bluetooth from my old phone. I have paired them up and can send to my old phone but cannot receive to my BB. My old phone attempts to connect and then it comes up with a connection failed message. I have tried all sorts: making sure phones are visibile, setting them to 2 mins ....then changing it to "yes" ...making sure devices trust connection and then asking for a prompt....taking the encryption off...then leaving it on....
I really am at my wits end as I have over 150 contacts and cannot face having to write them all out and manually type them in
I am also terrified of getting into my new car tomorrow and finding out that my BB won't pair to my in-car bluetooth set up!
Thanks!

Not sure you can send/receive contacts via BLUETOOTH. Once the two devises are paired, then your done with the 2 minute limit and all that stuff. If each devise sees the name of the other devise, your done there. Then make sure there "connected" to each other. If not select the devise, press menu and select connect. Once that's done, your connected. Your car set-up should be just as simple. The setting about phone book entries, is for a bluetooth devise (headset, your car... things you make calls from and talk through) to have 'access' to your phone book to easily make phone calls. It doesn't copy or transfer your phone book, just has access. If your old phone has an option to "send contact via bluetooth" you'll probably have to do that for each contact and even then, I don't know that Blackberry will take it. Blackberry will however take v-cards. So if your old phone can e-mail a v-card, that would work. Blackberry can also synchronize with desktop applications like microsoft outlook and ever google mail. That way you'll have all your contacts from these locations as well. If your old phone can sync with these applications, that's another way to complete this task. This is done through your Blackberry Desktop Manager which also has a sync with other devises' so if your old phone has the ability to connect to a computer, you could try that. Many mobile phone carriers have software in their stores that help with this process and might be able to do this for you without charge.

Why can't apple let us sync two computers over bluetooth?

I am extremely annoyed that mac won't let you sync two computers via bluetooth, when you can easily do it with phones and pdas. It seems to me that it takes the exact same technology to do so, and the only reason mac does not let you sync two computers is that they want to force you to pay $100 for a .mac account. Very Microsoft-like of them. Apple advertises that you can do this function as part of the OSX, but fails to mention it requires additional cost. I hope they provide this in the future.
I've heard a new program, spanning sync, may work, but that is just for your calendar.

1) Apple always advertised its computer to computer sync'ing as ".Mac sync" (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/dotmacsync/) so I don't see where they "fail to mention it requires .mac" or put that "in the small print no one reads"
2) Peer-to-peer sync'ing leverages many conceptual problems that sync'ing with a central server does not have. It takes a lot of effort to have proper, reliable, secure, yet simple-to-use peer-to-peer sync'ing. It becomes even worse when more than 2 peers are involved, and becomes a total nightmare when there can be cycles in the sync'ing swarm. Apple took the simpler, reliable approach. Of course, Apple can put money to provide some peer-to-peer solution but it's likely not worth the money yet for Apple.
3) Third parties can provide peer-to-peer sync'ing in no time (if it were that simple) since Tiger, thanks to Sync Services... yet there isn't many solutions out-there... however, maybe you should take a look on VersionTracker. You might find what you want:
http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/index.shtml
Remember... sync'ing is never that simple.

New 5s and cant get it to discover or be discovered via bluetooth

Just upgraded to the 5s and i cant get it to discover or be discovered via bluetooth. My iPad wont even find it!!! Any help would be appreciated

Hi
You can't use Bluetooth to pair iOS devices with other iOS devices or Computers (Macs or PCs) as it's not part of the OS.
You can connect iOS devices to some bluetooth enabled cars, speakers, keyboards etc. Apple provide a list for supported bluetooth profiles here:
