Enabling Bluetooth File Transfer on Mac OS X Leopard

Posted by S.Noman on Monday, March 1, 2010 | 0 comments


By default, file sharing over Bluetooth connection is disabled in Mac OS X Leopard. Even though scanning process from cellphone shows Mac in the list, when you try to send file to Mac, you get error like “file can not be sent”.

So to enable file sending follow this…

* Go to System Preferences >> Internet & Network >> Sharing. (see screenshot)
* Just tick Bluetooth Sharing option. Note that, although you are getting file sharing related error, file sharing option have nothing to do with it.

Thats it! Do not waste your time on mobile forums. I already did!
