If you had purchased Celeste, then you probably remember it being quite buggy.
Over the last few years, there have been a number of jailbreak tweaks such as Celeste, AirBlue Sharing that unlocked Bluetooth file sharing (OBEX Push) capability and allowed users to transfer files to any device via Bluetooth. So iPhone users still can’t transfer files between iOS devices or any other Bluetooth device, which is the most commonly requested application in the Bluetooth stack and has been available on feature phones. SO : SWITCH OFF THE VLC SERVER AFTER THE FILE TRANSFER.Even though iOS devices like the iPhone come with Bluetooth 4.0, it only supports a limited number of Bluetooth profiles. It appears in the files app "on my iphone/ipad" in the VLC dir, but you can simply move it to where you want.įrom the "VLC" side, you will only be able to send media-files like music, movies.īut you can open both a browser and vlc on the 2 devices. Make sure the ipad/iphone screen stays on or the transfer will fail.įrom the "browser" side, you can send any file to VLC. in the browser, tap the big + and choose the file you want to send. on the other device, type this adress in a browser Win10 laptop (dual boot with Mint of course), Mint laptop, old android and iphone. This is a simple "ad-hoc" solution for me, because vlc is on all my devices. This only works if both devices are on the same wifi network. This enables me to use an external USB SDD or thumbdrive that I can use to transfer to linux, win, android, whatever.Īnother "trick" to send files between (almost any) devices is to use VLC. Works OK (most of the time).įor larger transfers (and to be able to simply keep LOCAL copies of files / LOCAL ONLY files, I use an Apple lightning-to usb cable. It is available for windows, linux, ios, android as far as I know. Besides, all you can do then is send files between your ipad and a physically (that is CABLE-connected) pc-type system. Unless you want to try to tinker with wine (with dissapointing results). They prefer to push "Airdrop" which only works within their ecosystem. My thanks to you in advance for your answers.Īpple does not support the necessary (OBEX?) file transfer protocols. I have no interest in renting access to music via iTunes, so would I actually be better off 'sharing' files from my iPadPro to my laptop by just emailing them to myself (or by transferring them via third-party-server storage such as Google 'Drive')? So, have any of you found a way to share files between an iPadPro and a Mint laptop via Bluetooth?ĭo I really need to try to put iTunes (or some other executable package that is compatible with Apple's iTunes) on to my laptop in order to share files between my two Bluetooth devices? Perhaps it really is an app for sharing files via Bluetooth? Apple are, after all, very keen on vendor lock-in, and on protecting the commercial secrecy of their IP.īut I don't know anything at all about iTunes. I also expect iTunes to not be available in any Linux distro. I do not expect iTunes to be an app whose purpose is to share many different kinds of files via Bluetooth. I (naively?) expect iTunes to be a server-based music-file-serving program/'service'. They told me that, if I want to share ANY files via Bluetooth, I have to install iTunes on to my laptop. I was puzzled by that, so contacted Apple's Support team (in a chat). There is, according to the iPadPro, no way to share files via Bluetooth. move) some photos from my iPadPro to my laptop. I have linked my laptop (running Mint Cinnamon 20.1 Ulyssa) to my iPadPro (12.9 inch) via Bluetooth. I am new to Linux, and I find that I am posting quite a few questions to these forums.
