Mac Bluetooth File Exchange doesn't work? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Is there any secret to sending files to bluetooth devices like the XDA II (or Sony Clie for that matter) via the OS X bluetooth file exchange software. If I try to connect to my previously bonded/paired XDA or Clie to send a file or browse the device, the Mac s/w says something like 'device doesn't have the required services'.
I can use Drag'n'tooth, Missing Sync or PocketMac to sync via bluetooth, mount the devices etc... so I'm not sure why the free bluetooth file exchange doesn't work...

How to send files via Bluetooth?

I have paired my QTek 9100 with my Mac and other devices, but how the heck do I send a file over to another device? I can receive files from these devices, but I find no option anywhere to send via bluetooth. I have created outgoing and ingoing ports too, but no new menu options appear on the file manager! How is this supposed to work on Windows Mobile 5 AKU2?
Follow the option to BEAM via Infrared, while it's searching it'll search bluetooth as well.

Bluetooth Partnership Settings

Unable to send files to my laptop from my pocket pc (SPV M3100) and vice versa. Both devices partner and recognise each other.No services to select on 'PARTNERSHIP SETTINGS' screen after PPC has searched and found PC via bluetooth.When PC is used to send a file via bluetooth, to PPC, an error message window appears 'CANNOT COMPLETE THE BLUETOOTH TRANSFER WIZARD' and also mentions that 'THE OBEX FILE PUSH PROFILE MAY NOT BE INSTALLED'.Currently using 'Resco explorer' and have no problems sending files via bluetooth to other PPC devices.Have read that there may be issues with 'Win XP SP2' and devices once recognised before 'SP2' installation, not working once it has been installed.Plan to look further into this at the microsoft website, but any help from those who have been in the same position, or know how to fix the problem I have, would be much appreciated, as it is begining to get quite frustrating now considering how simple a task it is usually is to complete...

Need Help with Bluetooth connection between 8525 and Nokia 7370

Here is the situation. Im trying to transfer some files From my nokia 7370 to my AT&T 8525. I am able to pair the devices, but when I try to send files, the nokia says the connection failed.
When I try to send files from my 8525 to the Nokia, it works. The other way doesnt work. I tried the same procedure with a Sony Ericsson phone and I was again able to pair, but was not able to send from the SE phone.
Can someone help?
Is OBEX enabled?
Without OBEX you can't send files
use a configuration manager, such as HTweakC or HTCustom to enable OBEX
Then find a file and send or beam as if you were using infra-red, but enabled bluetooth devices nearby should also be discovered and select them
Here's a link to DiStefano's very good *.cab collection, you can find many such applications there:

How to share multimedia on 8525 via Bluetooth?

I have tried to pair two different cell phones to the 8525 via Bluetooth in the past 2 days.
When I attempt to Bluetooth connect from my [Samsung] A707 Sync, it finds the 8525 . . . but when I try to choose "Select," the Sync tells me:
"Not Available
Delete Paired Device"
On the HTC 8525, it finds the Sync and gives me the services available of:
a) Serial Port
b) Dialup Networking
I can't seem to find a way to copy the Bluetooth-capable pictures and ringtones that I want onto the 8525.
What am I missing? It seems that the 8525 doesn't like to take multimedia files from other Bluetooth phones! What should I do to get the 8525 to pair up to share pix/vid/songs/ringtones with other phones (not meaning using the 8525 as an internet sharing device)?
Make sure the 8525 is visible and then send th file to it. It should come up with the option to accept or reject file.
To send use a file explorer. Hold down stylus on file you want to send. This will give you a pulldown menu which you can choose to beam file. Choose bluetooth, do search and select target bluetooth device...
Cheers...
On a specific [Bluetooth-capable] ringtone, I went under Options with my Samsung A707 Sync mobile phone. It says 'Send via' > 'Bluetooth'. However, my 8525 isn't in the paired devices list, so it attempts to find the 8525 (which is set as visible and the Bluetooth is active). It locates the 8525, but then the Sync displays the message:
"Not Available
Delete Paired Device"
Bloody 8525! Jeers to it!
What about sending the other way?
On the HTC 8525, it finds the Sync and gives me the services available of:
a) Serial Port
b) Dialup Networking
I can beam a picture successfully to the Sync, but when I try to send it from the Sync it returns the message in the prior post.

Microsoft Bluetooth Stack OBEX Directory Traversal

Most Windows Mobile 5.0 & 6 devices are shipped with Microsoft Bluetooth stack, only few of them use others (like Widcomm Bluetooth stack). Among all the Bluetooth services that may be implemented in the stack, OBEX FTP is the most common service.
OBEX FTP Bluetooth service can be used to share files through Bluetooth, not only by sending files but also by allowing remote devices to browse local shared folders and download files.
...
There exists a Directory Traversal vulnerability in the OBEX FTP Service in Microsoft Bluetooth Stack implemented in Windows Mobile 5.0 & 6 devices. A remote attacker (who previously owned authentication and authorization rights) can use tools like ObexFTP or gnomevfs-ls to traverse to parent directories out of the default Bluetooth shared folder by using ../ or ..\\ marks. This means the attacker can browse folders located on a lower level, download files contained in those folders as well as upload files to those folders.
The only requirement is that the attacker must have authentication and authorization privileges over the OBEX FTP service. Pairing up with the remote Windows Mobile device should be enough to get it. In case the attacker succeeded in getting the proper privileges, further actions will be transparent to the user

I don't see this as a vulnerability, it has its good and bad use. the only way for to even get in to the device is to pair with the device, and only an Ass-hat would actually pair a device they don't know.
I think there was an app called bluetooth explorer which allows the option to explore folders on the connected device (don't really remember if that was the name)
can someone please tell which other mobile OS offers the option to send files over bluetooth? I'm just curious, I think WinMo offers this but I don't want to sound like an ass-head declaring this as fact.
it would be a real vulnerability if the attacker could do all that without any user intervention
