This sample shows how to transfer data between two iOS devices, with one acting as a Bluetooth central and the other as a peripheral, by using a CBCharacteristic on the peripheral side that changes its value. The value change is automatically picked up on the central side. Most of the devices have Bluetooth, and it is one of the easiest ways to transfer files from WinPhone to Mac. This way is only used for the Windows Phone user who wants to transfer the files to the other devices. Follow the below steps to pair your device and transfer Windows Phone to Mac data easily.
Hello Matt,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where you're unable to send files over Bluetooth between your Macs, please follow the steps outlined below.
If you can’t browse or send files
Make sure the other device is Bluetooth enabled, turned on, and within range (up to 30 feet).

Make sure your computer is paired with the other device. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Bluetooth, then check the status of the device in the list.
If the device is paired with your Mac and you still can’t send a file, try unpairing the device and then pairing with it again. To unpair the device, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Bluetooth, select the device, then click Remove. To pair with the device again, click Add.
Make sure you have permission to send a file to the device. You may need to enter a password. Check with the owner of the device.
Make sure the computer or device is set up to send or receive files (see instructions below).
Make sure you know which folder is being shared on the other computer or device.
Set up your computer for sharing files
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sharing.
- Select the Bluetooth Sharing checkbox.
- Choose your options.
Cheers,
Alex H.
