Well, I was trying to push some photos from my Nexus S to my Macbook Pro, and even though they were paired, it was failing. After a few minutes I would get the warning
"Bluetooth audio failed. There was an error connecting to your headset. Make sure it is turned on and in range. The audio portion of the program you were using may have to be restarted"
which was a surprise since I don't have a bluetooth headset.
I tried to re-pair the Nexus and OSX, but no change. After some tests I thought maybe I needed to change bluetooth sharing
and now it works great.
Here's a photo to send
press on the screen to get the menus
press menu
and share
and Send via Bluetooth
choose where its going, and on your Mac accept
then on your Android it copies over
job done!

the Astro file manager has a related Astro bluetooth OBEX/FTP package allowing you to push files to a target machine; you can also access files on the android device using the obex file browser on a computer (windows and linux work to my knowledge, OSX might too).
Thanks for this tip. It worked like a charm after I first fussed in vain for an hour before finding this solution.
thank you! the Sharing preference setting is something everyone else missed in my search of various forums.
Thank you very much..solved my problem!
