Ive got two macbooks an older one with 10.4 on it and a newer one with 10.5. The bluetooth program and options are different on both of them. The problem I'm having is that in the bluetooth drop down menu in 10.5 there is a list of all my devices and another menu that drops down from each one with options as to what I can do with them. On 10.4 however the only options are browse device or send file. I'm trying to my iphone on 10.4 but have no option to connect, unlike 10.5 which I can connect no problems. Any suggestions?

Check out the Apple System Profiler on your Macbooks. One may well be Bluetooth 1 and the other Bluetooth 2.
