Trying to send files from macbook to Dell laptop-getting error

"The device does not have the necessary services".
I believe everything is set up properly. Both have discovered one another and been paired. In the bluetooth preferences, it shows yes for paired, but no for connected. Any suggestions what I can do to get it connected?

Is Bluetooth Sharing enabled in the Sharing system preferences pane?

    If you are connecting the two computers directly to each other with an ethernet cable, you need a special "crossover" cable to swap the send/receive pins so the data sent from one computer arrives on the "receive" pins on the other end of the cable, not on the "send" pins that you get with a straight cable.
    Incorrect, you do not need a special crossover cable. Any cable will do.

  • Correcting email address that adobe is trying to send file from

    I have asked this Q before with no resolution but I really need this fixed.  If I open a file that is in adobe reader or acrobat, etc.  When I click on the option to "send" it then brings up a black box a saying " [email protected]:  creating draft message... " The problem is that email address no longer exists and I can't change any settings because my settings don't have that address associated with it.  My computer will just lock up since it is trying to create a draft from that email address that does not exist.  I want to change it but have had no luck.  I have changed everything I can in my computer but this is strictly an adobe setting somewhere within the system.  Can somebody fig this one out for me?

    Hi
    Adobie XI and yes that is how I am trying to send.. File, Send File, then
    it pops up preparing to send "from [email protected]" then is just
    locks up.  This is not my default email either.

  • Trying to send file to someone who has cs3 but error occurs

    Hi I have illustrator cs5 and I am trying to send a file to someone who has cs3, I saved it in a cs3 format but when they try to open it an error occurs saying, "could not find The linked file, choose repair to locate the missing file, replace to open another file, or ignore to leave file unchanged". Please help thank you.

    This  means that Illustrator cannot find the related files (external resources that you have used for the project, like photos etc...), because the path is changed.
    Do you have to pass to your customers not only the illustrator file but also all the files used in that project. Then they have to choose the "repair" option and relink all the missed resources ( simply they have to go to the folders on their hard drive where these files are located and then relink them).
    I hope this help

    This message means that you don't have permission to write to the destination folder or disk drive. This is an operating system issue that can be resolved by changing permissions. And you can get plenty of information on how to do that by doing a web search for "change disk permissions".

  • Trying to backup iTunes from PC to Mac, I get error -51

    Hi. So I want to reformat my PC to solve a problem I have with graphics drivers. And I don't want to lose my giant iTunes library that I have spent ages customizing, adding music etc. I don't have an external hard drive, and there are no free cloud storage programs with enough space available for all my stuff (podcasts, movies, music, etc.) however I do have a family Mac (which is running OS X Mavericks) with plenty of space where I could possibly store the files for temporary storage while I reformat my PC (Windows 7).
    To move the files, I'm using an ethernet cable to share my iTunes folder between the 2 computers. However, every time I try and copy the iTunes file it copies about 4 gigabytes of the 60, then says that an unknown error occured error code -51. It's very frustrating. Could this be because of the different filesystems that Windows and OS X use? What can I do to make it compatable?

    OK, I decided to give Apple more money and bought iTunes Match. It seems to be more headachs than it's worth. And it's neglected by Apple. Last time I'll be doing that! that's for sure!

  • Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530 get message printer offline

    Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530, get error message that "printer is offline"
    Thanks for the help.

    Hey @Geneferg,
    Thanks for getting back to me regarding this issue. Because your printer shows connected on the Wireless Test Report, I am going to have you run some standard Mac troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve this issue.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
    First, it's important to have a nice clean slate to work with. Therefore, I am going to have you remove and uninstall the software and drivers for your HP Envy.
    To start, can I please have you click here and run through the steps on how to Reset the Print System for your computer. Please run through the steps on 'Resetting the printing system in Mac OS X v10.5.x or 10.6.x'. This will remove every printer from your computer. However, this does not uninstall the printers. Therefore, if you use other printers on your Mac computer simply ensure that the printer is connected through the USB Cable or network connected and (+) add the printer back in via the Print & Scan window. Do not add your HP Envy back in at this time.
    Next, please click here and follow through with the uninstall steps under the 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' dropdown.
    Once the uninstall is complete, please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
    Go to the Utilities Folder
    Open the Disk Utility
    Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
    Select Verify Disk Permissions
    Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
    Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
    Go to Apple
    Select System Preferences
    Select Software Update
    Click Update Now
    Install your available updates
    Restart your computer
    Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
    Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer
    Once the website opens, select the Download button on the top left
    Once the download is complete, please follow any onscreen instructions to reinstall your wireless printer
    Once your printer has been successfully reinstalled please test the printing function again to verify if the 'offline' issue has been resolved.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

  • How to transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (late 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ?

    Hi guys and galls,
    How can I transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (mid 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ? The mentioned file currently will not let me transfer it to my ext HD. I want to upload it afterwards to a Dell laptop with Windows software installed.
    Reformatting the drive doesn't seem to be the sollution, since this will erase all the data stored on the ext HD, and it will only allow me to use the drive with either Apple or Microsoft equipment.
    Please HELP, running out of options here... Thnx, "Apple-Dummy"

    How can I tell whether my External HD is formatted NTFS?
    Attach the HDD to your MBP.  Click on the icon on the desktop COMMAND+I. It will produce a display such as this and look what it says by FORMAT.
    How do I format my External HD: FAT or ExFAT?
    Do this on a PC.  You will have to use the Windows equivalent of Disk Utility.  I am not a Windows user so I cannot give you detailed information regarding this.  I have seen on these forums that there are at times compatibility problems if formatted on a Mac.
    Which one is preferred, FAT or ExFAT? And why?
    Use ExFAT.  FAT has a file size limitation of 4 GB.
    Ciao.

    Hi! I have a MacBook and I am trying to delete files from Microsoft Word. Somehow I cannot simply throw them in the trash. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

    Why not? Are there error messages? Where are the files located? Why are you deleting MicroSoft Word files?

    I tried to migrate information from MacBook Air to ...Pro and it seemed to have taken files from folders on desktop as none exist on Air now.  As to where these files are, I don't know.  It has also taken my pictures from iPhoto to unknown destination. ??

    If you used migration assistant then it probably created a new Login user and placed the migrated files under it.

  • I can't send file from my macbook via bluetooth

    I have this problem, I can't send files from my Macbook with bluetooth. When I click on send a file nothing happens, as if I didn't clck at all. I can still receive files though. It was working last week and I haven't changed my settings since. I checked and everything was still enable. I installed Mackeeper not long ago, I scanned the computer and made a cleanup shortly before it stopped working, I dont know if it could have been the cleanup, but it's troublesome since that was how I transfered my music on my mp3 player. I made a software update too and it didn't change a thing. Please help!! I don't know what to do!

    I guess I'm stumpted.  If the iMessage server is telling you that the recipient's email address/phone number is not registered with iMessage when in fact they are, somehow it's not looking it up correctly (as it is when you try from your phone).  Signing out of the account in preferences, then signing back in is about the only thing I can think of to "restart" iMessage.  I suppose you could try signing out again, then restart your Mac and sign back in.  If you didn't restart your Mac after you signed out of iCloud, you could try that too.  If none of that works, you'll probably have to contact Apple support for assistance.

  • How do I send files from my LG Viewty to my macbook?

    Hi,
    I recently got my first ever mac, a beautiful macbook pro. Since I use my LG Viewty "cell" (mobile)phone as a camera, I wanted to transfer some photos onto my macbook. But after pairing the devices and switching both bluetooths on, I was able only to send files from the mac to the phone.
    Can anyone tell me how to send files from my phone to my macbook?
    Thanks

    I get the device does not have the necessary services, when I try this on the iPhone to send a file to the handset.
    The other way around from the handset to computer, you get 4 options.
    Email Photo
    send to MobileMe
    Assign to contact
    Use as wallpaper
    So that's it I guess, no bluetooth file transfer between iPhone to other devices.
