Sending files from the Mac to the iPad has to be done via AirDrop. That is the way it works. You cannot send something from the iPad to anything else, except the Mac via AirDrop. What you can do with an old Nokia has nothing to do with what you can do with the Mac and iPad. File transfer cannot be done between Windows and iPad via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth profile does not support that.
