what are you currently using to transfer? have you used the pc suite from nokia? Ive not had Nokia for a while, Im more SE at the moment so Im not sure if latest versions support bluetooth connectivity

Other issue might perhaps be the bluetooth on your PC. Is it definitely on?

Alternate methods of transfer - but costs involved

USB - means you need to buy a usb cable. I bought one for my old sony from ebay. Cheap as chips!
Picture Messaging - you could perhaps send a picture message to an email, I think that is a possibility

to prove connectivity is okay, try sending a file from the PC. Right click on a jpg image for example on your PC then send as bluetooth device
Once dialog appears, search for your device and see if it picks up your phone.
One assumes you have bluetooth switched on the fone as well.

When you upload them what type of file is it saving the picture(jpeg etc) as?

ok, its all connected fine, cant see how to send a photo via bluetooth, but can upload them, when they upload, it says jpg, but when i save, and tried to email a image, it was a audio file!!

have downloaded nokia suite, read some reviews on this phone yesterday, not very good, a cable for this phone, ive been told is £48 on ebay, or £60 .
from argos.

i wanted to use phone to sell on ebay.

I give up, when i go into file manager, it says jpg, but when saved to my docs, it says audio!! Have to get my friend to use her camera!!

Are you just dragging and dropping from the 'images' folder to the PC (e.g. desktop). I use Blue Soleil software that came with my bluetooth USB dongle, and I have a Nokia 6111 and dont have any problems. I avoid the Nokia PC suite like the plague-thats a piece of !!!!

Im not dragging and dropping, but am using the nokia suite, dont know any other way of doing it?

You should just be able to send via bluetooth application on your phone & pc without using the nokia suite application

The way I do it is ensure bluetooth is enabled on both devices and the two are paired.

On my PC I had trouble receiving files from my phone but the solution was to right click my bluetooth icon and click on receive a file.

Then send picture from your phone to your PC and hopefully PC should accept.

Hope the above makes some sense
