My Nokia C2-05 = connected with my iMac but doesn't...

My Nokia C2-05 is connected with my iMac via bleutooth.

Downloading music from iMac to Nokia with bleutooth: no problem.

I want to send pictures from my Nokia to my iMac (via bleutooth) and I have a problem: it doesn't work !

I choose a picture, then: send, then: via bleutooth, then: linked divices, I choose the only one that is connected: my imac, then I "connect", and I get:

"service is not supported by other device!??" How is that possible, while in the other direction it works perfectly ?

What must I do? If I reconnect: I get connected for a few seconds and then again: "service is not supported by other device" and in front of me I see the name of my phone in the bleutooth connection of my iMac with a green dot (instead of a red) and the words: connected ? HELP !

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Have you turned on Bluetooth Sharing in the Sharing system preferences pane on the Mac?

Yes ! When I press connect on my phone I see for 1 second on my Mac (in the Bleutooth window) connected (with the red dot turned green) and a second later again: not connected and a red dot !? I'm getting crazy about this. How can I keep my connection for more than 1 second? Why is the connection broken after only 1 second? I don't know what to do... In the Bleutooth window I read (for my phone):

- linked: yes

- configured: yes

- favorite: ❤ yes

- connected: no (or sometimes only for one secend: yes and then again NO !!)

Anymore proposals ?

The green connected dot only appears when there is some actual Bluetooth activity going on between the Mac and the phone, such as when actually transferring a file. It doesn't stay connected when nothing is happening.

Enabling "Bluetooth Sharing" is the only thing you need to do on the Mac to allow it to receive files.

Have you tried pulling files from the phone on the Mac using the Bluetooth File Exchange application, rather than pushing the files from the phone?

My Nokia C2-05 is not a sophisticated item! These are the only things I can do:

I just tried again: selected picture, click on: send, click on: via Bleutooth, click on: shared/paired devices, I choose my Mac connection, I choose: connect and I get: "service is not supported by other device" ! Meanwhile for only one second the red dot on my Mac turned green and there was a connection, but only for one second !

Sorry, I misunderstood your explanation... I'm Flemish, English is my 3rd language after Dutch and French, so excuse me. So, I tried to copy the pictures from my phone via my Mac, and... indeed, there they were ! 🙂Thanks, if that is the only way to transfer my photo's, so be it...
