This Device Does Not Have The Necessary Services

Hi,

I have got the same problem today and I easily solved it. Instead of connect to the devices using the "Browse device" where I have the same error than you, I went to "Set Up Bluetooth Device" and it works perfectly.

Amazing 😉

Just bought brand new apple wireless keyboard and got the same "device does nto have the necessary services" when trying to pair with my Mac Pro. The keyboard is discovered immediately by bluetooth setup, but it won;t connect. Any thoughts?

I have the same problem. I tried the bluetooth setup and I am getting the same error. Im just trying to hook my imac up to my ipad2. It will find the device, but when I try to browse or send file (POW!) there go the error This Device Does Not Have The Necessary Services. Me and the guy above me (David Ross) need you guys help

I have a Linux partition on my iMac. I paired my magic trackpad to it last night.

I am currently using my mac as a mac and the bluetooth will not pair with it. Error: This device does not have the necessary services.

Someone mentions to delete the pairing on the other computer (which I assume would be my Linux distro) -- but I don't understand how my bluetooth will know I deleted it? Does he mean to delete it while I'm using my Linux distro?

There has got to be a way to use this with both my mac and linux. It's the same exact computer -- same bluetooth hardware being paired.

Any suggestions?

I am using a Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad as well as BT keyboard all at the same time on my Macbook running Mountain lion.

when I tried to set up the BT device from the browse menu... that is when I got "This device does not have the necessary services."

However after it showed up in the device list I clicked cancel and went into the set up BT device and highlighted whichever device I wanted set up and clicked continue. the only interaction I needed from there was from the Keyboard.. as it wanted me to type in a key code and the return key. Done.

Hope this helps!

i dont think you actually have to pair the the device to actually transfer files.

try to just start up BT file sharing.

having trouble pairing my AURA BT-100 Handsfree, living in the illusion that i maybe could have used it as a audio device. getting the same error message and it does not appear in the BT device setup.

i think my device is lacking the bt ftp service and therefore is not useable for my purposes.

OK, after stumbling around for 2 hours I found a way of moving my pdfs at least.

Set sharing permissions on the iMac.

Download Adobe Reader on the ipad.

Connect via USB

Start iTunes (the ipad should now be visible)

Click "apps" in the toolbar and scroll down to "File Sharing"

Select Adobe and you'll get an option to "add files"

Select "add" and simply browse and select the files you want to add

To see the files on the ipad open Adobe Reader and all the files should be there.

How you send them the other way is something else I need to work out.

I have the same problem. I paired the iPhone again, but when I try to browse it again, the Bluetooth app still it says the device "does not have the necessary services". Nothing like not naming the device, or which "services" it doesn't have.

One of these days Apple may actually try using these objects themselves to see the hours of time they waste.

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.

That's it man!! Thank you so much!! I've been looking for one week how to connect my Belkin Bluetoogh audio receiver to my Macbook Pro with no luck. "Set Up Bluetooth Device" is the key.

Still my problem is that it doesn't sound as good as conected. It's like if it would be mono instead of stereo. The voice in every song is like a bit faded. Some else had this??
Thanks!

Thanks for this. I had a Bluetooth mouse that simply stopped working with my MBP over a year ago. I was able to pair it to my desktop fine but since it's a portable mouse, I need it more for the laptop. After trying to pair it with another machine and getting the error, I used the Bluetooth setup and it paired just fine. Maybe the time away helped.😝

Tried this. Didn't work. Got freshly paired okay but same message keeps coming up time after time. I'm sitting here with my iPad inches away from my desktop and unable to transmit between one and the other. Absolutely crazy.

I have the same issue. A new ipad and older iMac.

I can connect with no problems but when I try to browse the ipad from the iMac the ipad shows the imac as not connected and I get the "device does not have the necessary services" message.

I've already tried all the "solutions" here with no luck.

I can't even browse the device let alone transfer files.

Any further ideas?

I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to my iphone 5S via bluetooth.the bluetooth can find my iphone but it's unable to get connected to it.ot says the device does not have the necessary services.I read your postes and I don't see set up a new device on my dropdown menu.please help me.

I called Apple Support and was told by the Advisor AND his boss that Bluetooth is ONLY there for accessories NOT for file transfers. They were incorrect. Today, after changing my Bluetooth Preferences on my new MacBook Pro, I was successfully able to transfer photos from my old 2007 MacBook, old Nokia 3720 and my BlackBerry phone. Yes, the message does come up to say "Network Unavailable" but I tried by right clicking (using mouse) or ctrl right click on mousepad, on a document/photo (or you can select several) in a folder and you'll see options... go down to bottom of options where you'll see "Send File To Bluetooth Device". The device may show as "Disconnected" but click on it anyway and it should work. Hey Presto (as long as you have connected the devices up already of course). I also haven't yet had success transferring to my Lenovo PC laptop. Also, I haven't yet sussed out what to do, however, to successfully Browse a device like I can from my old Mac.
