Highly confusing. The phone says "paired but not connected". The iMac says paired and connected and ready to go but all I can do is send a file from the iMac but no option to receive a file from the phone. Again, the phone says it sent the file to the iMac.
OK, will try it again tomorrow. Too much screwing around. Thanx, all, for the help.
Did you follow any of the above advice? Can't tell from your response.

I think Gmailing 'em to yourself sounds like the easiest option...
It took a while but that actually worked; I got them all when I emailed them to myself.

Nice to know you found a work around.
Any time you can walk away from docking the vessel works for me *(:>* :priate:

I think the Default location is "Image Capture". You have to switch that if you'd rather photos filed somewhere else (iPhoto, Aperture, Photoshop etc).

Great example here of how people get help on this forum.

Sarcasm?

Sarcasm? No, I think he was being serious.
Sometimes, not always but sometimes, when one posts a legitimate question here out of ten responses nine will be snarky commentary that are neither informative nor helpful but are occasionally genuinely funny and one will be an actual answer to the OP's question. This thread was not one of those threads.

This thread was not one of those threads.
Also was not an example of getting or giving help, but rather the opposite. The OP went with his own workaround rather than learning how to get his BT transfer working right. Conflicting advice didn't help.
I'm not sure what's more depressing-- the way this thread went, or that someone could read it and think it was a good example of a helpful thread.

Point taken, but DP was able to use john-o's advice to solve his immediate problem: How to get the pics from the phone to the computer, thus making DP's need to solve his BT connectivity issue less pressing.

Brother Chakravartin is right. Your bluetooth file sharing checkbox must be check off in order to send files to the Mac from your phone.
