Topic: transfer files from iPhone to PC via bluetooth? Posted: 26 Jan 2012 at 4:52pm |
So my new rig has bluetooth and this is the first computer that I have had that has bluetooth built in. I also have an iPhone 4S. So what can I do via bluetooth? I'd like to have a way to transfer pics from my iPhone to my PC via bluetooth instead of always having to either email the pics to myself or connecting via the USB wire. Is there a way for me to do this now that I have my iPhone paired to my PC via bluetooth?

Hmm,
I can't speak about the iPhone, I've never owned one. I know the transfer function doesn't.. er.. well.. exist, on the newest generation iPod touch. I've had this confirmed via Apple support. You can however get apps that allow you to do it. I think I seem to remember a coworker using something called Cydia in the past on his older iPhone. |

There is a way to do this via wifi, it might require a jailbreak though (probably does) because apple restricts us from creating cool stuff. And yes cydia is the jailbroken app store.

He might have been talking about vertical integration of Software and Hardware components but he is also talking about taking responsibility for the whole user experience. So the minor miracle that is your iPhone contains everything you iphone 4s cases iphone stylus pen best iphone stylus need in a mobile platform, GPS, WiFi, Camera, Media players, a compass the list goes on and yes it is a phone as well. It does what you expect when you expect so it is just easier to use than its contemporaries.

Wireless syncing of your iPhone was only recently introduced with the iOS 5 that was released with the iPhone 4S. It works for the previous iPhone 4 as well I think. The issue is it only works via Wifi, as of right now Apple does not offer any transfer or syncing via Bluetooth.
As others have said there may be apps that will do it for you, and it may require you jailbreak the phone, but you'll have to do some searching around on it. To sync via Wifi read this article. Using Wifi on your iPhone has other benefits. You can connect to Wifi while at home and save some of your monthly data usage. There are also apps that allow you to make free VOIP phone calls on Wifi and text messaging apps that work off Wifi. Wifi is much faster then the cell service and again it saves you on your monthly data usage. I keep mine connected to Wifi at home and I make sure to download and update my apps when on the Wifi when ever possible. Again due to the speed and data usage.

Anyway, in Windows you have to let Windows to sync the photos from phone to PC. This is normally happens when you plug the phone in to the PC, and the "what do you want to do with this device" dialogue pops-up. Its here you can choose to sync photos. If you don't get the pop-up you've probably told Windows it to not bother you ever again with that dialogue. You can reverse that by going to My Computer, right clicking on the phones icon and somewhere in there is the option re-enable or manually run an import.

You don't even need a 3rd party app to transfer photo's from your iphone to your PC.

My S4.. and I know the S3 also had it, has some great built in app where it takes it's IP (from my lan), and I can navigate to it via my desktop. Let's me see all my files on my phone. I can transfer to and from my phone all from my desktop. Kies I believe. Nifty (yea I said nifty) little wireless transferring ability.
I just wish cell phones had better wifi adapters. I have an AC router and a 150mb/50mb internet connection. Supposedly the S4 has an AC wifi receiver... my S3 had a "n" receiver. And yet my speed tests on my phone (while connected to my wifi) are around 50mb up/down. I get 30-38mb up, 24mb down on 4g... -_- It's not fast enough! |
