Question

Can't send file to imac from blackberry using bluetooth.

I paired my blackberry with my imac and can send files from imac to BB but not BB to imac. I get an error msg stating "failed to find service." Does it have anything to do with when I paired, my imac popped up the bluetooth setup assistant that asked for username, password and APN (I left this blank since I don't know)?😕

blackberry-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

APN is only relevant for connecting to the internet.

Make sure Bluetooth Sharing is enabled in the Sharing system preferences pane on the Mac.

Thanks Julien; needed your suggestion for the same reason.

Since keyboard and mouse did connect I assumed sharing was only for other computers on a network and not needed for sending photos, etc from phone via bluetooth.
