Air Drop Issue

ive just put lion on all 3 of my Mac's, My Unibody Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro give me the otion for air drop but my 2008 Mac Book dont? any ideas

Mabe you guys can help me....
My Pro is mid-2007 so AirDop is out but I am still having network issues since the Lion install on both machines. I did post this a couple of days ago in Lion Newtorking & got reads but no replies. Maybe you guys can help:
I cannot get my MacPro to mount onto my macbook pro. I can get to the drives on my MacPro using CMD+K afp, but need the drives to show up on the desktop. When I try to connect it simply says, 'connection failed'.
1. I have re-checked my 'sharing' setting on both computers. my admin login has read & write access on both computers. Is there a new setting issue I am missing with the AirDrop?
2, I am using Belkin wirelkess router from the Pro & WiFi on the macbook. The macbook show the AirDrop in the Finder sidebar so it is there but obviously not on the Pro.
3. i have tried using the admin logins for both computers on the macbook to gain access, it did not work.
4. when i access them using CMD+K, they do not mount to the desktop nor the finder window sidebar.
I hope you guys can help. This is taking too much time to work around.

10.7 Air Drop issue

Please don't post here about beta software. There are confidential forums set aside for developers to use. Developer Forums.

I can't find air drop when I swipe up on my iPhone 6.

I Have iphone 6+ iOS 8.2 And when I swipe up to my control center there is no air drop info.

That's weird RM. In my control center, when I swipe up it's right above flashlight, timer, calculator and camera icons. Turn the iphone off and back on. If it still doesn't come back on make sure that wifi and/or bluetooth are turned on. If that also doesn't work, perhaps you should try backing up the iphone and doing a restore to make sure it's not an issue with the software update from 8.1.3 to 8.2.

Lion Macbook Air installation Issues - Won't Install

I sucessfully installed Lion on my iMac, then I downloaded it with my same user id from my macbook air (1.4ghz). I proceed with the installation, it claims to finish and then reboots. The Lion App store icon then sits on my dock and the computer is still running Snow Leopard at least it seems to be. However, when I go to about this mac it says 10.7.
This is a mistake since the machine is still physically running snow leopard, there is no mission control, no air drop, etc, AND the lion icon is still in my dock waiting to install!
I have repeated this process countless times and keep getting the same results.
Please help!

did you mean to say 'this problem has been SOLVED' ?
i'm having the same issue.... and always presumed the downloaded lion install was fine since it does image checking, etc.
either way.... i'll be giving it another download and try again

Air Drop Painfully Slow on MacBook Retina with 10.8.2

Hi
My Retina MacBook works pretty fine and wireless networking is stable - unless I try to send a file to my girlfriend's identical Mac via Air Drop. The actual transfer is painfully slow and all other connections such as loading webpages start to stutter as well.
The OS X firewall is switched off since I use Little Snitch 3 to check incoming traffic. But even when Little Snitch is switched off, the symptoms persist.
Any ideas what could be the problem?
Cheers, -sven

Late late last night I solved the problem
I have both Adobe Acrobat X Pro and Adobe Reader X
I could neither update Reader nor install Reader X1.
On a hunch, I launched Acrobat Pro , was notified of update which I could not install,either.
Same error message about a changed environment as I had received when unable to update Reader .
Recalling I had similar Adobe issue one or more years ago, I UNINSTALLED Acrobat Pro and reinstalled from scratch
- I was then able to upgrade Acrobat Pro X
- I was able to install Reader Xl

Air Drop and File Sharing Between Macs Please HELP

I have a 2011 Mac Book Pro running Mavericks and a 2010 Mac Pro running mountain lion and I am having trouble air Dropping and file sharing between them.
My MBP works fine. It can see other macs and share with them on my home network. My MP on the other hand cant see any other computers under the shared devices location in my finder. I have turned on file sharing for my MP as well as screen sharing. Neither works. My Mp used to be able to Air Drop and File share.
When I try to Air Drop to my MP it wont receive the item.
Has someone been through this before and know how to fix the issue? Ive been trying to research this for a while and haven't been able to find a solution.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

Are you using a frieWall on individual Macs?
If you are using a Router you control, individual computer FireWalls are not needed.

Air Drop on MacBook Pro

I have the Air Drop icon in Finder on my MacBook Pro but other Apple devices do not recognize it and vice versa.

Hello mary7830,
I read your post, and it sounds as though you are having issues using AirDrop. I have linked to an article that provides the AirDrop requirements which you can review:

HT6510 Mid-2011 Macbook Air doesn't support Air Drop/Continuity/Handoff?

Why does my mid-2011 Macbook Air not support Air Drop/Continuity/Handoff? It has Bluetooth 4.0, which is what I thought was the main requirement for getting these devices to work together. I also have an iPhone 6 Plus and a 4th gen iPad.

If you check your "System Information", it will tell you if Handoff is supported:
Click on  > About This Mac > System Report...
Under Hardware, click Bluetooth and check the "Handoff Supported" line

I am not able to email a file from Adobe Reader. When I click to share the file, the option does not pop up to share (via Mail, Message, Air Drop, etc.).

What version of Reader and OS X?

I recently bought two iMac quad core i5 processor speed 2.5 Ghz. Every time I use Air Drop and I send a file from one iMac to the other, a black curtain drops and I am asked to restart the computer!!! What can I do?

That's a kernel panic and indicates some sort of problem either with the computer's hardware or software. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. It would help to post the panic log: Mac OS X- How to log a kernel panic.
Meanwhile, try booting the computers into Safe Mode then restarting normally. If this is simply a disk repair or cache file problem then this may fix it.
You can also try creating a new admin account on each computer then booting into the new account. This would help determine if the problem is related to a bad file in the user accounts.

My Internet Connection Dropping Issues...

I too am having the occasional Internet connection dropping issues. Phone and TV continue to work.
Since I had Fios installed last November I am on my third ONT and 2nd router. When I called in my latest drop yesterday the call center person told me I had a hardware issue because my computer had a valid IP address assigned. I tried to teach her something about DHCP but she would not listen to me. I asked her to please reboot the ONT and she refused because "nothing was indicating a problem with it". Whatever...
Each time the Internet goes out the router acts fat and happy. I have full green on WAN Coax, and strangely enough, a flashing green Internet activity indicator. Logging into the router shows that I am MOCA connected and assigned a WAN IP address. But I can't get out past the router at all. On the event that led to me getting a replacement router the lady said she could talk to the ONT just fine, but not the router. We reset the router and ONT port numerous times and the connection finally came back up.
I am not sure of the protocol between the ONT and router, but I think the ONT is keeping enough signal going to make the router "think" its happy, but then the ONT is not passing packets at some point. After yesterdays call and the refusal to reset the ONT I just hung up on her and reset it myself. Of course everything started working just fine...like I thought it would.
So what is the issue here? Is MOCA a mess? Is an Ethernet connection to the ONT better? I am utterly disgusted with this miserable system and can't afford to continue having these outages.
I should also add the other wonderful features I have seen. When I tried to powercycle the *new* router yesterday it decided to dump its entire config including my port forwarding. Nice... And I have given up using wireless because if I set the router for WPA it locks up so hard that it takes a master reset to get going again.
Anyone have some advice on getting this system stable?

I would try using a non-verizon router. I used the Netgear router and it fixed my problem. The Verizon router seem to be pieces of garbage and they over-hear.

Is there a fix for the MBP wireless dropping issue?

I began to experience the Macbook Pro dropping wireless connectivity on my very 1st Apple in 2008. At the end of the day my machine was replaced with a new Macbook Pro mid 2010. It appeared to be working just fine until about 2-3 months ago when I started dropping my wireless printer connection. I searched the internet hoping for a driver update from HP or something from Apple and each time I found something, the problem still existed. I even thought that by upgrading to Lion would resolve any issues that I have with my MBP wireless connectivity issue. After upgrading to buying a new router, new printer and upgrading to Lion; the wireless dropping issue still remains unresolved! I know there are several hundred in not thousands of people who are having the same problem so what are we supposed to do?
When my 1st MBP was replaced in 2010 I had to stop working because I was diagnosed with "Failed Back Surgical Syndrome" and was in the process of applying for disability. Something in the back of my mind said that I needed to purchase Apple Care for this new replacement however I had used all of my savings & retirement to sustain life for me and my family that there was nothing for Apple Care. If it weren't for my church and family I am not sure what I would do during the 18 months of no income while waiting for a decision only to receive an appeal until I findly stood in front of an Administrative Law Judge who heard my case and granted me disability. Besides there was no way I could ask anyone for money to purchase a warranty for a top of the line laptop while the country was falling off an economical cliff.
I broke down and called Apple Support and was told that I qualified for technical assistance regarding the upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago. The tech on the phone had me run some disk utility tests and had me repair permissions which she said could be the cause of the problem. I willingly went along with her in hopes that this was indeed the fix. However, within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone my MBP began to drop it's wireless connection to my new HP printer and also the Internet. Hence my question above is what I am really looking to have answered! What is the fix to this problem that so many people are having issues with? I couldn't afford to purchase Apple Care back in 2010 and I can't afford to purchase a new 2011 machine today if that truly is the fix!
I will be disabled for the remainder of my life and I have grown dependent upon my computer to stay in touch with friends and colleges from work. I worked for the IT Group at Wynn Resorts and I can say that the type of service Appple is providing it's customers is not what I learned over the past 25 years with Mr. Wynn. Why can't Apple get the simple concept that it's customers are it's life line and keeps them in business. I need help and I don't know what to do nor where to turn. It would be different if Apple acknowledged the issue and said they were working on it however they aren't. I plead to Apple to help me fix my notebook so I can stay connected to the outside world vs. couped up inside my home.
Best Regards,
Scott Leavitt

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? Will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? If I then move that to the Pictures folder on the MacBook will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

It would be better if you could connect the two Macs via a hard wired LAN to copy the library from the Mac Pro to the MacBook. Wireless connections can have momentary dropouts which could affect the reliable copying of files.
If you do go with Air Drop be sure to open and inspect the copied library closely to confirm it was a successulf copy.
