BlackBerry Smartphones how to send pictures of BB to the Mac via Bluetooth?

I used to do that all the time. Click on a photo on my BB and choose Send using Bluetooth. A pop up window would be on my Mac to accept or refuse the transfer. VERY EASY.

Now, he always says: "cannot find the service. System Preferences > Bluetooth shows a 'Not connected' red light, but says they are paired. What can be wrong?

So the solution on OS X 10.5 and above, you must enable Bluetooth sharing in system preferences. Older version of Mac OS X did not require this. Problem solved.

  • BlackBerry smartphones how configure e-mail, add apps, use the web via wireless modem?

    Hello

    Have a new 8310. Operating system is v4.5.0.37 platform 2.7.0.55I'm in Australia, currently with Telstra, but by train to change.

    I didn't buy a data plan for the phone. I have a wireless modem for my desktop & wondering if I can use this to connect my phone to the web without buying data?

    Do I need a data plan to send emails? Can I use my acct (yahoo) of existing email online, or I need to set up a special telephone? If so, please explain where and how? If this is not the case, what other info I have to configure the existing one? It seems that I need a PIN and e-addy & password (and assuming this is the yahoo password?)

    TIA

    Do I need a data plan to send emails?

    Yes. Basically, to do anything other than use of the phone, you need a data plan. Period.

    Yes... See the above reading material.

    No.... not required.

    PIN... hmmm... There are several definitions for this acronym in the world of BB. The most usual is a unique identifier, as an IP address or phone number, that is assigned to the factory to your BB. It is used to register your BB for various services (Yes, through a data plan) to identify your BB on the network.

    I hope this helps.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how can I display my name during the SENDING of SMS on 9300?

    It seems to have ticked all the boxes, I can find regarding 'Full name' but my 9300 3 still insists on sending messages just text using the text number and displays NOT my name as the sender of the text - why?  My friends need to know that the text is of me!

    I have no problem with email - which contains my e-mail address, what has my name in it.

    Grateful for any help here because I am a new user.

    This is not possible - your friends need to have your number in their address book with your name to show him from you, when they receive a text.

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to install manually a cert on the phone

    I've seen some KB13355, which is not much help.  It indicates that you can manually import a cert that is received on the phone via emnail, but I can't find how to do this.  We do not want our users to install if possible Office Manager.  I checked the users guide and searched the RIM support site but can't seem to find instructions on how to manually import the cert.

    Thank you

    OK - I just tried a test... try this.

    On the BB, open an email containing the attachment .cer. Scroll down to the bottom of the message and find the link to the cert downstairs (not the 'Annex 1' above). Highlight, then click on the BBKey. Select the certificate to recover (you might need to open the full menu). Then BBKey again and select view certificate... which should show you even more options. Unfortunately, I cannot completely validate the installation process that I already have the cert installed on mine I need, so he told me to go ahead would not be good because what I installed is newer than what I display.

    Let us know how it goes. (I agree - I thought that it would be simpler!)

  • BlackBerry Smartphones with a name on incoming calls in a car via bluetooth

    Hello

    Can someone help me.

    I just got a new company car where I divert my Bold 9700 via bluetooth to the car phone.

    All my incoming calls show the phone number, not the name of the caller and they are all in my contacts folder in blackberry as well as in the car unit.

    What should I change in the blackberry to ask him to show the name of the caller?

    Thanks for any help.
