I recently purchased a macbook air with mountain lion. I'm trying to connect to my wireless mouse (mighty mouse) and keyboard (mac keyboard). I get the message: This Device Does Not Have The Necessary Services. I have no idea what this means. It worked on my mbp running snow leopard. What do I do to connect up to my mouse and keyboard?
Thanks!

I tried that advice and didn't work for me, I mean, it worked to send files from my Mac to my Samsung Galaxy S4, but not the other way around. Then I went to Preferences and found out the my Bluetooth Sharing option was unchecked, so I checked it and now it works beautifully.
What I'm trying to do is, just AirDrop few photos from iMac to iPhone, and i keep having this message, and airdrop cannot find my iPhone. It does not want to pair up with my mac at all. I'm am running iOS X Mavericks and an older iphone update, but it should still work no?
Hello Tom:
A Bluetooth device may be only paired with one thing at a time.
You need to delete/uninstall them from your previous computer.

I took your advice and it worked like a champ! Jamming with my bluetooth headphones now. Thanks!
Awesome!! Exactly how all mine work! I am using all 3 at once! 😍
clicked cancel and went into the "set up BT device" and highlighted whichever device I wanted set up and clicked continue.
That's the solution!!
Thanks.
Using "Set Up Bluetooth Device" from the dropdown did it, thanks!

Didn't work. Do you work for Apple?
I simply needed to go into System Prefernces under Sharing and turn on Bluetooth File Sharing. Problem went away.
on the mac air i went to preference- sharing- turned bluetooth sharing on and that worked for me
Thanks. So how can I transfer files? Connecting a USB cable doesn't work as the Mac doesn't seem to recognise it's connected?
Easiest solution, forget the slow, bug-laden and practically useless Bluetooth and use email to send the images.
Same problem here.
Iphone is connected to MacBook Pro via Bluetooth but unable to browse files: "Device does not have the necessary services"
The files are too big to email.
Any other solutions???
Didn't think it would work... but I tried everything, then tried this and it finally did! whoopee thanks
This worked like a charm! Thanks!
