Bluetooth connect w/ Mac

[Bibliophile83]

I can sync my DI with my iMac via Bluetooth, but it says "Not Connected". Bluetooth is on in both devices, and my phone recognizes the Mac and vice-versa. What gives? Is it mad at me for not buying an iPhone?

Maybe a stupid question but is your phone set to "discoverable" under the bluetooth settings?

 

[Bibliophile83]

Yep, it is. Both are set to discoverable.

what are you trying to do exactly, because on mine it doesn't just connect to the phone, the only time in which it shows connected is when something is being sent from one to the other, (ex. a picture or a song) other than that it shows it as being disconnected.

I want to transfer files, specifically photos. So I can just tranfer my pictures and it will connect?

yes that's exactly right. if you turn on bluetooth on both devices, (after making sure that they both recognize each other) then click on the bluetooth icon in your menu bar, and in the drop down should be your phone under devices, from there when you click on that you will see send file. chose the file you'd like to send and it will connect up on it's own.

hope this helps

no.

open up your preferences panel on the Mac, or click on you BT Icon in the menu bar. go into BT settings. once paired, click on the device. at the bottom, select the little "gear" looking thing and click on "send file"

The phone will ask you if you want to accept the file, so accept it.
