Whenever I try to transfer a file (a small jpg) to my Nokia 3650 via Bluetooth from my Quicksilver 2002, I get a "The last operation failed: bad request" error message, and the transfer fails. I have restarted both the phone and the computer to no avail. What do I need to do to get file transfer to work?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Have you tried re-pairing the two with Bluetooth Setup Assistant? Make sure you QS knows the 3650 is a phone.

Are you using Bluetooth file exchange?
Ensure you can pair your phone with the PowerMac before you transfwer the JPEG file.

What brand of Bluetooth adaptor you got?

hi and thanks for the responses. i am using a d-link usb bluetooth adaptor, bought at the local apple store. the phone and the mac are paired, and iSync syncing of contacts proceeds without a hitch, images and all. also, i am using bluetooth file exchange.

i will try to repair the devices tonight and see if that helps.

so i just repaired the devices through the Devices panel of the Bluetooth pref pane. and now file transfer works. go figure. thanks again for the advice with this somewhat flaky/mysterious implementation.
