Bluetooth

Despite trying everything I can think of, I don't seem to be able to connect my iPhone 4 to my Mac Mini - it can't see the device, although the iPhone is dicoverable. Any help appretiated!

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.1

The iPhone can not connect to the iMac via Bluetooth as it is not a supported protocol.

Wow! But they're both Apple devices??? That's a bit strange - are Apple aware of this?

Thanks for the reply!

Yep. In fact iOS devices are designed that way...file transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iOS device...by design.
