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

I just transfered a file (mp3) to my dad's BB pearl.
Hope this helps you.

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,

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.

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.

Dane

How to send files via bluetooth from W530

Hello,
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)?
Regards,
bostjanv

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!

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?

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:

How to send docs via bluetooth from / to iPad?

How to send quickly docs via bluetooth from / to iPad instead via itunes etc?

drowningindata wrote:
I would very much like for there to be a way to quickly transfer a small block of text from iPad to iMac without copying and pasting it into an email/creating a small separate doc and using iTunes/using the cloud or dropbox or using Notes. Bluetooth worked fine for me between my laptop and iMac, quick and easy. WiFi would be better.
I keep a large journal on my iPad using Pages (I'm a writer) and sometimes I just want to use/send a small selection of text from it to the iMac. It would be really nice if I could select the text and see in the popup options something like 'send to iMac' or other device.
If you are running OSX 10.8.2 on your iMac, you can use iCloud and the Notes applications on your iPad and iMac to transfer the block of text in a note between the two devices. I do this with simple notes and lists. In your settings on each device, make sure Notes is turned ON under the iCloud tab.

How do you send photos via bluetooth from i mac to a paired device

bluetooth is a wide collection of what they called bluetooth profiles
both devices have to support the bluetooth profile in question for it to work
here is a list of the typical bluetooth profiles

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
