What Windows bluetooth file manager?

Can you please suggest a free Windows Vista compatible Bluetooth OBEX file manager - using which I can browse the files in 5800 XM?
Thanx

Hi, people should use whatever method they prefer, but I've used Nokia PC Suite and Ovi Suite for about 5 years and have never had a problem with usb connection, have used bluetooth also, but for anything containing large amounts ot data, bluetooth is really slow, and so always use usb. You can connect your phone to Ovi Suite using either method, so the choice is yours.
Good Luck

No bluetooth file manager in PC Companion?

I used pc suite daily (hourly in fact) to keep my phone in sync with my work outlook, worked great. I also use the phone for taking photos and uploading them by bluetooth to my PC to include in my reports - now that pc suite has updated itself to PC Companion I get a message that I need to connect via USB for the file transfer function. Where did the bluetooth file transfer go, am I missing an option?!
I've taken a copy of pc suite from the website just in case ... if this can't be solved with PC companion then I'll be uninstalling it and moving back. I can't see anything that I need from the new software but I'll happily be proven wrong.

I had to use file transfer over blutooth today - I decided to let the upgrade go ahead first and it seems I made a big mistake This PC companion thing insists on using a USB cable and my phone's socket is partially broken. It's a little tricky to get the phone to charge but using USB is nigh-on impossible. Now I'm left with no choice but to do even more work and uninstall this useless upgrade and look for the older version. 6.11 I think?
The Media Go software (with quite a large download size of 161Mb) doesn't even recognise my phone over bluetooth and I was also asked to update Media go with another 64MB just after I had installed it! What the hell are SE at?!
Btw to the staff in Sony Ericsson, the download sizes are reported wrong. The unit used is MB or MiB, not Mb... And if you use Mb, try to multiply the file sizes by 8? (MegaBYES not megabits)

Block Bluetooth File Manager

Hello!
When I paired my phone with my friend (he uses Android) he could explore every folder (C:, E: and F: ) of my phone. He could even delete some files...
Is there a way to block those bluetooth file managers? Or limit the access?
Thanks!

Keep your device "hidden" in Bluetooth, if you must connect a connection don't set it as authorised so at least you would be prompted.

What is Mac's equivalent to Windows Explorer (file manager not internet explorer)?

Have just migrated to macBook Pro from being a windows user for years. I don't trust backing up my important files to Cloud and would much prefer to back them up to an external hard drive as I used to on my Windows laptop. How can I do the same in my MacBook - I just want to 'right click' on a folder called 'documents' and copy everything over to the external drive. Can this be done?

It's called Finder and yes you can copy your documents to an external drive. The drive icons on the side of your desktop invoke finder windows. Inside are folders which can be displayed with details or icons. You can drag and drop just like windows.
If you don't have drive icons on your desktop then click anywhere on the desktop and look at the top menu bar. It will say "finder", now use the menu to select finder then preferences and turn on the icons. You should also have a square blue "smile" icon on the dock which invokes finder.

Samsung t509 - files don't appear in bluetooth file exchange

hey all,
I have a samsung t509 and when I connect to it via bluetooth, all of the directories I search on the phone appear empty. I know the files are there (mostly camera phone pics) but they won't appear in bluetooth file manager via browse.
I actually had this problem some time ago and found a fix for it, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. grrrrrr.

ok I found the problem - in order to have files show up in a bluetooth file manager, they have to be specifically shared. basically you have to go in through file manager, click options, and then select 'share for bluetooth', then all, then add.
they'll finally show up.
grrrrrr.

KDE file manager UI fonts impossibly tiny (RESOLVED)

The KDE installation seems to be at variance with documentation on kde.org.
I can not find many of the configuration files named at kde.org.
My problem is that while I can change fonts in the file display window of file manager, the font in the menu bars and left side tree are barely readable.
This is more severe in the superuser file manager than in the user version, but I'm at a loss in changing either one of them.
My screen is set at 800x600.
I have been thru the files at /root/.kde/share/config.
All help appreciated.
Bill Barnes

Thank you.
I have been all over kcontrol, but found that to do what I wanted was to invoke it in a superuser terminal. That did it.

Set nautilus as default file manager in kde?

I would give kde a good chance, but I have several issues with konqueror. Is it possible to set nautilus as the default file manager in kde? I have started nautilus from kde before.
Is this possible?

OK then. Install nautilus.
control center > file associations > inode > directory [ then add: "nautilus --no-desktop" ] (make sure it's primary in the list)
You'll not be able to open KIO slaves such as media:// with nautilus though. Maybe you should create launchers on the desktop running "nautilus --no-desktop computer://" etc?
There are some other cosmetic changes you can do as well, such as installing gnome-volume-manager, gnome-settings-dameon, gnome-control-center etc.
Another way is just to add "nautilus --no-desktop" as default application for inode > directory, but don't add it as *primary*, but secondary application, so you can right click and choose "open with nautilus" on the desktop/konqueror.
I've successfully run a complete nautilus desktop replacing konqueror as root window and file manager, and it works really good actually.
I did uncheck "icons on desktop" and disabled wallpaper in kcontrol.
Had to disable "hal backend" in kde to let gnome-volume-manager take care of hal mounts; "HalBackendEnabled=false" in .kde/share/config/mediamanagerrc
Then i had to run "gnome-settings-daemon &" in .kde/Autostart/startup (this file should be executable, as usual) (nautilus itself is a GUI application and will survive the next session on it's own, because of KDE session managment)
I took the easy route and installed the whole "gnome" metapackage instead of selective packages though.
The only problem was that kedit.desktop didn't want to start as default application for say, text files, but i had to enter kedit manually in that box you get during "open with dialog".
I bastardized KDE, i know
It was worth it! hehe
BTW dolphin/d3lphin is really good too, as lucke pointed out.

File Manager unable to open, Windows error message...

When I try to open File Manager from Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Phone Browser in My Computer, a Windows error message suddenly appears and says "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close." I don't know what seems to be the problem. I've been using it for months and this is the only time I encountered a problem like this. How can I solve this problem?
I have the latest version of Nokia PC Suite (Version 6.85.12.0), my OS is Windows XP 2000, and I'm using a USB cable as a connector.
Please, I really do need to fix this one.

"In a lot of cases, these errors are caused by 3rd party shell extensions that are not functioning properly", check here for details and solution: http://www.helpwithwindows.com/techfiles/explorer-crashes.html .
What's the law of the jungle?

Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?

Like the topic - "Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?"
I installed this OS, and it looks nice, but it's terrible to use. I randomly have the volume controls get disabled, and sometimes the volume menu in the system tray does nothing when adjusted which I've never seen in an OS before. The trash won't empty. When I try to drag and drop newer files over existing ones, nothing happens. The old ones just stay there. I have to delete the old ones and then move the new ones. And when I go into the protected files to manage audio plugins (I make music), the first thing I hit are error codes galore, and password prompts that either don't popup when they should, or don't execute the command after I provide my password.
What can I do now that I installed the flames of **** onto my computer?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

What's a good lightweight file manager for fluxbox?

I just installed arch and it's flippin awesome. I installed fluxbox because I prefer a light window manager with lots of functionality. When I used fluxbox with ubuntu I used thunar. But this time around since I'm using arch I want to use a file manager less dependent on less libraries and other share resources. So whats a good functional and maintained file manager that would be good for fluxbox?

Since I didn't see it here mentioned, why not try Tux Commander? it only depends on gtk2.
I tried both thunar and pcmanfm, uninstalled them and stick with tuxcmd. The only little problem you might come into, is to manually add the buttons to mount cds and usbs (pmount helps here), unless you put them on fstab and they automatically appear there.
Well, just give it a try
$ pacman -S tuxcmd
note: if you ever tried total commander on windows, you'll fit in this one like a glove
I just checked this out and it's pretty nice. The only thing is that it does everything by file extension and not by mime type, which is counter-intuitive for a Linux desktop IMO.
Altho you can put name+extension as 'name'(so you can see the file 'as one'), yes, you'll have to manually had the programs you want to open each file type/extension.
Thanks for spotting that out

File Manager & Bluetooth?

Hallo.
I have searched for a File Manager and a Bluetooth app but cant find any good one.
When i hade a undroid phone, there was very good file managers who showed the root of the phone and the bluetooth was great. The only file managers i found for iphone 4, doesnt show all my files, doesnt show my pic folder, ipod (music app), videos from buzz player, just *****, file manager is about to se all files and folders u have in the phone and to organize ur pics, music, videos in 1 place, not to have a few pics here and some there.
And the bluetooth just ***, apple show do a file manager who show all files from the root, and would be great if they could combo it whit bluetooth or something, this just ***.
is there any forum or news about this? would be great if anyway could answer.
ty

You cannot get access to the file structure of the iphone. It does not support disk mode and is not intended to be used as an external storage device. You cannot control the file structure of the iphone.
What bluetooth functions are you looking for?
Iphone supports stereo headsets/speakers, telephone headsets/handsfree device, come BT keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the apps store, and tethering ( where allowed by the carrier, you would need the plan from the carrier for this).

Transfer media to iPod w/ simply file manager app (e.g., Windows Explorer)

I like my iPod. But I wish I could sync/transfer media (songs and video) onto it without having to use special sync/management software (e.g., iTunes, Songbird, Banshee) to do so.
I wish I could use just a regular file management application such as "Windows Explorer" or Nautilus.
Is there a way to hack the iPod to make it do what I wish?

Is there a way to hack the iPod to make it do what I wish?
iTunes gives the music odd file names and the iPod reads the music via these file names. Using Windows won't create the file structure hence no ability for the iPod to read and play the music.
I believe some software such as Sharepod might do what you want.

TS3927 My summary tab has disappeared in windows 8 now it asks me where to open eg file manager?

My summary tab in Itunes has disappeared in windows 8 when I open ITunes. It keeps asking me where to open now eg file manager. Totally frustrated. Can anyone help?

What you're trying to do now is:
EFI->kernel (EFI stub)
This is appealingly direct, but it's tricky to get working. What the wiki now recommends is:
EFI->gummiboot->kernel (EFI stub)
...or...
EFI->GRUB->kernel
These approaches are less direct, but they're easier to configure. The trouble is that both the EFI's built-in boot manager and the EFI stub loader are tricky to configure. For a newbie to get them both configured correctly on a first attempt at installing Arch is very difficult. Getting the EFI to launch gummiboot or GRUB is easier because these programs don't require the complex parameters that the EFI stub loader requires. Those parameters can instead be specified in the gummiboot or GRUB configuration file, which is easier to manage for quite a few reasons.
If you want to pursue using the EFI stub loader directly, you certainly can. I've learned from experience, though, that it's not worth my time to try to help with users who want to do this. Using an intermediary program is easier to get working. IMHO, the direct approach has no real benefits except that it gives you bragging rights that you've done it. Your system won't boot any faster or more reliably in the more direct approach. (Well, technically it will be faster, by only by a matter of milliseconds, assuming you use a 0 timeout value in gummiboot.) In fact, it will be less reliable, because gummiboot, GRUB, and rEFInd all offer ways to adjust boot options on a boot-by-boot basis, which is very helpful when fixing problems. You can't do this with the direct approach.

Bluetooth file transfer from BB Z10 to Windows 7 Laptop

I have my BBZ10 (OS 10.2.0.424) successfully paired with Windows 7 Laptop. I often use the BBZ10 BT Internet Teethering. It works very well.
However, when I want to transfer a file from BBZ10 to my Laptop. I follow this process
In the background the Internet Teethering is ON, and working
select the file in Z10 File Manager.
click on share icon to share using BLUETOOTH
Before pressing the name of my paired devices on Z10. I click Bluetooth icon on laptop and select 'receive a file'. This opens a box showing the laptop is waiting in receive mode.
Then I select my paired computer name on Z10 to initiate transfer.
The transfer bar appears on Z10 showing the progress, but in 4-5 seconds, it says 'TRANSFER CANCELLED'.
And on my laptop it says 'BLUETOOTH FILE TRANSFER NOT COMPLETED'.
i have used exactly same process with my BB 9800 several times with success.
Another thing I note is, if the Internet teethering is OFF, I cannot turn BT connection to the laptop on. It come up with error message ' Cant' connect , you must turn on internet teethering on yoru device.'
Please troubleshoot.

hi eddie-n200,
Can you send a file from the laptop to the cellphone? If you can, check if the "Allow remote devices to browse, send, and receive pictures, music, and other files" option is enabled on the BT settings:
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
As an alternative, you may also want to try Bluesoleil or similar software to send/receive from the laptop.
