Q: Unable to share file in between Macbook air and iPod or iPhone 4S

Tried sending file via bluetooth from Macbookair 11" to iPhone 4S and alsomto the iPod, but it just doesnt work.

The devices pair but I get the message, "this devise does not have the necessary services"

What are these services and where to obtain / activate them?

Is it a Mac OS problem or the iOS problem?

 

J.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

    Correct.  This has never been a feature of iphone/ipad/ipod touch.

     

    "What are these services and where to obtain / activate them?"

     

    You don't.

    This has never been a feature of iphone/ipad/ipod touch.

     

    Iphone supports bluetooth for handsfree tellephone devices, stereo speakers/headphones, come keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the app store, and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.

     

    Other than these it will not connect to a phone/computer device.

     

    File transfer has never been a feature.

     

     

    Sorry
