People just bought a bluetooth thing for my comp so i can transfer files music etc to my nokia phone

Dongle installed correctly and is apparently working but my phone can't find any other bluetooth devices, and if i select a music file and go to Send To i have no option to use Bluetooth ..

Am i missing something simple?
I can't work out what else i need to do
Advice would be appreciated

 

Have you gone into the options on bluetooth and set your pc's visibility to "on"?

 

What phone is it ?

 

Its A Nokia 6300
and my laptop is a sony vaio vgn-c1s

 

Also if igo into control panel i have no bluetooth option so i am a bit stcuk atm
I thought hell yeah bluetooth much better than having a cable
lol

 

can you answer my question please

 

you got a cd with the dongle and installed the software on this, right? that should put a bluetooth icon in control panel

 

thx thats the problem there is no cd with the dongle
looks like its back to the shop

Thx for the help tough guys

 

you cant just plug the dongle in and expect it to work, gotta install software first

 

its not plug and play since it needs the drivers hence CD.

 

That was what i thought but with no memtion of a cd on the box and no CD in the box ithought maybe it was plug and play...

Still got one with a CD now and its fine

 

Download and install Nokia PC suite from www.nokia.com, then use that to manage you rphone and do file transfers

 

which shop did you buy the one from that has no software with it? should all come with software otherwise it wont work, as you found out

 

You can, mine does

 

so why didnt this chaps work then? he didnt even have a bluetooth icon in control panel ?

 

It's probably not recognised, that old "this usb device has not been recognised" chestnut

Whereby it'll be fucking recognised in the usb port directly next to it
