Sending a file to a Bluetooth device
Your computer can send files to other Bluetooth devices in range of your computer. If you are not paired with the device, you may have to authenticate with it before you can send the file. Use the Bluetooth Setup Assistant (located in Applications/Utilities) and follow the onscreen instructions to pair with the device.
If you have already paired with the device, you may not have to authenticate.
To send a file to a Bluetooth device:
- Open the Bluetooth File Exchange application, located in Applications/Utilities.
- Choose File > Send File, select the file you want to send, then click Send.
- Choose a device from the Device list and click Send.
If the device is not in the Device list, click Search. When Bluetooth File Exchange finds the device, you can add it to your Favorites list.
Use the File Exchange pane of Bluetooth Preferences to set options for how your computer handles files exchanged with other Bluetooth devices.
You can also send a file by choosing Send File from the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
