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.

    Wow, that's very disappointing.
    I see that you can transfer between two Macs but not, as you say, between older Macs and iOS.
    For others, the following is from Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
    MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
    iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
    *The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.

  • 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!

  • Why can't I use my Mac Book pro for cashing checks like every one else uses their iPhone and iPad? I am a grandmother and in the past 4 years I have purchased 4 MacBook Pros and 1 iPad for my children and grand children.

    I would like to be able to use my MaBook Pro for cashing checks lie the I phone and I pad. Why isn't this feature included?

    This has nothing to do with Apple.  As BobTheFisherman indicated, your bank needs to create an App for the Mac to do this.  These types of applications tend to be limited to mobile devices as they are a bit easier to maneuver for taking photos.

    can I interrupt a migration from Mac Book Pro to iMac and what are the consequences

    Les:
    Here are some options:
    • You could copy the data file to your laptop, work on it, and update the file on the iMac when you are back.
    • You can use an application like Log Me In to access your home computer from your laptop.
    • You can use DropBox. Install it on both computers, place your data file in a folder on the iMac, access it and work on it on your laptop and it will be automatically updated on your computer at home, even if it is not turned on, as soon as it is connected to the internet.
    Please do post back with further questions or comments.

    It's not supported for copying to computers - from the iPad iOS 7 manual :
