Sending a file from bluetooth device to Mac

April 16th, 2008 by Sandy Tanamas in Mac OS X Tips

In Leopard, sending a file from your mobile phone over a bluetooth connection is not a default setting. You have to activate it in System Preference.

Here is how:
1. Open System Preference
2. Click Sharing
3. Enable ‘Bluetooth sharing’
4. If you haven’t activated your bluetooth, open System Preference > Bluetooth and check ‘On’.

On the other hand, if you want to send a file from your Mac to your bluetooth enabled devices, just click a bluetooth icon on your status bar (near the time and date), and choose ‘Send a file’. Or if the bluetooth icon is not there, just pres Command + Spacebar and type Bluetooth File Exchange and follow the screen instruction.
