Airdrop between mac book pro and iPhone 5c

How do I airdrop between a macbook pro and iphone 5c?

Is this still the case, or has the latest update for IOS and OS X (announced on WWDC in 2 June 2014) enabled file sharing between Iphone and Mac via Airdrop?
When I open Airdrop in Finder on my Macbook pro (2013), it keeps searching for devices, but does not recognise my iphone 5s (on which wifi, bluetooth and airdrop are on). Any way to fix this?
Thanks!

  • HT1694 Hotmail accounts between mac book pro and iPhone

    I want my mac book pro to show the same emails on my hotmail as my iPhone but I seem to delete off one and then have to do the same of the other one. Do you know how I fix this?

  • Why can't i airdrop from mac book pro to iPhone 5s

    why can't i airdrop from mac book pro to iPhone 5s

    You can't currently AirDrop between OS X and iOS. This is partly because OS X supports many file types that iOS wouldn't know what to do with if you AirDropped them onto an iPhone.
    This will change in the next OS X and iOS that Apple recently demonstrated. When those OSs become final and are released to the public, you will be able to AirDrop between OS X and iOS. Apparently iOS will be more flexible about handling file types, as shown by the future ability to create your own sharing folder in iCloud instead of having iCloud being individual to each app.

  • My FaceTime has also recently stopped working on both my Mac Book Pro and IPhone 4S

    My FaceTime has recently stopped working. I usually talk to my daughter but hadn't used it for a few weeks. I have tried to connect to my daughter in the last couple of days but without success. It rings and tries to connect but fails both on my Mac Book Pro and iPhone 4S. My daughter is able to connect to her friends but she cannot get through to me or I to her. Can anybody help?

    Yeah, I don't think that's necessarily all the issues here (re: iOS update). I have 7 devices that have stopped functioning within the last week and all of my devices have the latest iOS on them. I came to the forums to see what's available for help, but I'm guessing I'll need a trip to the local Genius Bar.

  • Bluetooth connection between Mac book pro and IPad

    Hello,
    i am having trouble creating a Bluetooth connection between a Mac book pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and a IPad air 2 iOS 8.1.2.
    I have managed to pair the devices but when I try to create a connection to transfer data an error message on the Mac comes up saying "Bluetooth network unavailable, make sure device is on, in range and set up properly", similarly if a connection is tried from the iPad an error message comes up saying "make sure the device is on".
    Both devices Bluetooth is on and discoverable and i have managed to pair them but can't create a actual connection!
    Any help / ideas appreciated?
    Best regards

    Bluetooth paring for file transfer is not supported on iPads.
    You can use Airdrop if both devices support it, or a 3rd party App, but you cannot directly pair an iPad to a Macbook and transfer a file over the bluetooth connection.

  • I can't get google, youtube on my mac desktop, mac book pro, and iphone.  Wondering if I have a virus?

    When I open Safari and try to go to youtube its states the following.  Safari can't open the page "http://www.youtube.com/" because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection.  This sometimes occurs when the server is busy.  Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.
    This has been going on for two weeks.  My son's macbook pro and my iphone get the same message when linked to my wireless connection.  Yet, when I disconnect my wi-fi from my phone and use 3g, I'm able to pull up google and youtube fine.
    Also, when I try and go to google's home page from my computer, it takes me to a chinese site with 789 at the beginning of the address bar.
    I'm able to go to other saved websites with no problems.
    I'm wondering if this is a virus or not?
    Any sugguestions?
    Thanks

    I'm pretty sure it's your  network connection that it's causing that behavior. Possible causes might be:
    - from your ISP:
         - routing problems;
         - proxy servers;
         - dns issues;
    - on your home network:
         - your router(s) might have a messed up config, caused by any of the previous reasons
    I don't think that it is the setup on any of your devices, since it would be too much of a coincidence to have 3 devices with the same setup mistakes (unless you previously had to done that in order to work with a previous ISP/Internet connection). Besides, as you stated, they work fine on 3G.
    A good test you can perform, would be to check with Network Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Network Utility.app) and check for Lookup (DNS) and Traceroute tests. Check Lookup and Traceroute info for www.youtube.com and www.google.com, something like this (these results are ofc from my connection, yours will be slightly different):
    Traceroute has started ...
    traceroute: Warning: www.google.com has multiple addresses; using 173.194.66.106

    One more thing: you mentioned using the devices through Wi-fi and 3G, but what about ethernet cable? same thing? Because it can be a wi-fi performace issue, although that would not explain why you are being redirected to a chinese server.

  • Main difference between mac book pro and mac book

    Hi,
    I have been using boot camp "love it" My point.
    Which is the best lap top for using boot camp. I am considering buying a macbook and use it for site work ( Industrial plc programing ) with boot camp and maintain my MacBook Pro as my desktop workstation.
    Is the Macbook Pro more robust? Are the componets designed for a longer life ? than the regular macbook? or is it just the size of screen?
    G4 Cube /G4 power book/MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Is the Macbook Pro more robust?
    In actual fact I think the MacBook would be more robust. It is more designed with the average consumer and student in mind where the MBP is aimed more at "pro" users (whatever that means).
    Are the componets designed for a longer life ?
    That I don't know although "better" components are used in the MBP. You might notice how little a weight difference there is between the MB and 15" MBP.
    or is it just the size of screen?
    It's not just screen size and if you carefully compare the specs in each…
    http://www.apple.com/macbook/specs.html
    http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs.html
    … you'll see there are certain things that the MB can't do that the MBP can or the MBP can do better. For instance, one big difference is the GPU as well as 3GB RAM limit over 2GB.

    Use the same Apple ID and password for purchasing in all these devices.

  • I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any indi

    I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any individually nothing happens at all. It also does not ask me for my password any more but my iPad and mac book do.
    I have signed in and out of the app store and the password is correct. I have tried both kinds of reboot but that did nothing. I have tried to update the apps by connecting phone to Mac book pro...it shows the apps being download on the Mac book and says it will sync them to my phone but it does not. Everything else on my phone works fine.
    Any ideas ...Please!

    Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately.  I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old  AppleID as they will not be recognised.  Any suggestions for this please?

  • Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music

    Help....I synced my old iphone to mac book pro and lost music. Is there a way to recover my music?

    Not if it isn't in your itunes library.  If you sync with a new computer iTunes will delete all iTunes media (such as music) from your phone and replace it with whatever media is in the new iTunes library.  Sounds like that's what happened.

    You don't. It only sync using iTunes.
    It doesn't "pair".
    and my ue speaker
    What is "ue speaker"?
    Ultimate Ears wirless bluetooth speaker?
    Set speaker to Pairing mode.
    On the iPhone, Settings > BlueTooth.
    Select the speaker.
