    Hi,
    I have Iphone 3GS (3.1.3). When I try to transfer files to or from my Iphone to other cell, it asks for PIN. As there is not PIN code set on either of the phones therefore it does not transfer fil.

    Can anybody guide me on this issue.
    Thanks and regards

      If you pick a pin on one Of the phones and type the same one on the other it should work. Eg: 123

    • talkkin2kris 6 May 2011 at 7:44 pm #

      try using 0000 or 1234 on both cell phones

  11. ToeNail_14 2 July 2010 at 5:37 pm #

    IBlueNova fails to complete transfers. Stops just short of 3MB. Running iPhone 3G with 3.1.2 jailbreaked OS. Tested against multiple platforms, reinstalled, reloaded iPhone firmware – stays the same. The only reason I purchased this app was to send music to other phones and music generally bigger than 3MB hence it’s useless unless it’s fixed.

    is there any solution to transfre music from iphone 3g with firmware 4.0.1

  15. Jauhari 9 October 2010 at 4:02 am #

    It’s must be jailbreak, before use this app?

  16. lol 19 October 2010 at 12:02 am #

    The iBlueNova doesn’t seem to be working on my jailbroken iPhone 3G 4.0.1. I start it, then I press the photo section and the app turns off. And for music and other files it is so aswell. Also no other device can find me and I can’t find anyone aswell. Doesn’t make me want to buy the full app.

    Any ideas?

    P.S. Oh, and, when I start the app and when I press the enable button, the BT icon disappears from the place, where the battery is. Is it supposed to be so?

  17. pty10 22 October 2010 at 5:04 pm #

    Don’t buy this app. It doesn’t work with 4.0.1 or beyond and the developer of this app is M.I.A

  18. Exor 23 October 2010 at 7:21 am #
