AirDrop between iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.2 and iMac Yosemite 10.10.1 only working if both have Everyone for AirDrop discovery

AirDrop between iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.2 and iMac 5k Retina Yosemite 10.10.1 is only working if both have Everyone selected in AirDrop discovery options. If the option is set to Contacts Only in one of them then neither device can see the other.
Is there a way to limit AirDrop to contacts only and allow both devices to see each other?
Both are setup with the same iCloud Drive account. I use the iMac to sync iTunes for this phone so the phone does trust this iMac.
Thanks,
Vladimir.

I am still having the same issue. I have tried Apple Support AGAIN. Still no resolution.
I cannot use my calendar on my Macbook Air OR my iPhone at all.
iCal just crashes!!! I have tried contacting Google, but they have not responded AT ALL.
Not very happy. Apple have at least spent time trying to sort this. Anyone got any answers?

  • Problem with bluetooth connection between iPhone 5s iOS 8.1.2 and MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) Yosemite 10.10.1

    After the upgrade to iOS 8.1.2 in iPhone 5s and OS X 10.1.1 Yosemite (MacBook Pro Mid 2012) can not connect my iPhone 5s to the MacBook, the iPhone tells me: "The MacBook is incompatible" or the message "Connection Error, Make sure the Mac is turned on and is within range" even the iPhone being close to the Mac. Otherwise with the updated iPad 2 (iOS 8.1.2) is connected via bluetooth to the MacBook without any problems, Even the iPad 2 does not detect the iPhone bluetooth.
    Help me please

    An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

  • Syncing Messages between iPhone 5(iOS 6.0.1) and Mac (OS X 10.8.2)

    I am using imessage/messages on my iPhone 5, iMac, and Macbook Pro. I have the latest OS installed on each, email address set on each, and it syncs between all 3 devices as far as sending and receiving messages, but when I delete messages, I have to do it individually on all 3 devices. Is there any way to get my messages deleted an all 3 devices at once, in other words, sync the deleting funtion?

    Not that I'm aware of. I've always manually deleted message from each device.

  • IPhone 4s iOS 6.0.1 and iPad 1st gen. iOS 5.0. What do I need to do?

    Wifi connection problem between iPhone 4s iOS 6.0.1 and iPad 1st gen. iOS 5.0. What do I need to do? I've reset the network on each and nothing. Please help.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
    If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
    Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
    If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
    I hope it works

    If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, there is a hardware problem.

    I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"

    Assuming you are using the current version of iTunes (11,2,2), open iTunes, click "Preferences" under the leftmost entry on iTunes' menu, then choose "Devices".
    Find the iPhone's backup there, highlight it, and choose "Delete Backup".

    Hi JimHdk,
    I have also upgraded to ios6.1.3, and facing same wifi connecting problem, after upgrade my iphone3gs is not connecting to my laptop shared wifi, which was working perfect with ios6.1.2,
    and its not an hardware error, its software error, crippy apple does not test their releases which causes problem to users.
    Updates:
    Earlier wifi connection which i was using on my Iphone 3gs, was WPA2, which was shared from my laptop via "Microsoft virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter", was working perfectly till ios6.1.2, but when i have upgraded my iphone 3gs to ios6.1.3, my iphone 3gs became unable to join wifi,
    Today I have created "adhoc network"  on my laptop using "Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n"(default wifi adapter of my laptop), and kept security type "WEP", and found my wifi working fine with my iphone 3gs,
    So if someone using LAN internet on their laptop, they can share their LAN internet to use on their ios devices, via creating an 'adhoc network',
    How to create an 'Adhoc Network',
    choose Security Type : WEP (compatible with ios6.1.3)

    You'll need to contact the previous owner to get them to remove the account.
    There is no way to bypass this security feature. If you can't contact the previous owner you have wasted your money and have a phone you'll never be able to use.

    Hello there stidhambr15,
    I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

    I updated my iphone to iOS 6.1.2 and now my iphone calander and macbook calendar no longer sync (they used to). How do I get them to sync again?

    Why can't you update?
    There should be nothing preventing the update from 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 or even from 5 directly to 7.
    What happens when you try to update?
    Have you tried to Update through a computer running the most up top date version of iTunes?
    Tell us a little more about what is happening and we may be able to provide more specific answers.

    Hi Apple_Mom,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've noticed issues after updating to iOS 7.0.2, you may want to first update to iOS 7.0.3 which was recently released.
