What free alternatives are available for Bluetooth on a iPhone5s used for family use only please. I would not use Keynote enough for it to be economic. Thanks
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), Receiving computer is MacBook Air
It might help if you explained what you wanted to do. What are you trying to do? Keynote is presentaton software. I'm not sure how it's related to using BT (other than using a remote with it).
Thanks for your reply. I used my old HTC phone/bluetooth to transfer pictures/music between members of my family who have various 'phones. It is fairly low volume so did not want to have to purchase an app instead of using my previous practice hence my question. Thanks
You can email or text pictures between phones. If they are all recent iPhones, you may be able to use Airdrop.
You can not transfer music from one iPhone to another (or to any other phone). Bluetooth file transfer is not supported.
Hi Kilted Tim
My question was, aware that BT file transfer would not work with the iPhone5, whether there was a suitable alternative methodology?
Thanks
Hi Meg
Thanks for that.
And, as Tim mentioned, you can't tranfer music.
Best of luck.

You can also look into the various cloud-based solutions such as Dropbox. Most of those offer free storage up to a certainly limit; 2GB for Dropbox.
