Airdrop: can't find my mac with my iphone

Hello,
i recently wanted to send a picture to my mac (using Yosemite and iOS 8) via airdrop but my iphone 5s could not find my mac. I did turn on bluetooth on both devices and am visible to anyone...
funnily enough my mac can find my iphone and i can send images, files etc.
can anyone help me?

How old is your Mac? Pretty new it sounds like, but the older macs can't support AirDrop I know.

  • I can't Find my Mac on my iPhone even though it's set up correctly

    Friend left her laptop on a plane yesterday.  Flagged it up to me.  I have iPhone 4s and 5s and and iPad and a MacBook Pro.  I can find the phones and the iPad on each other and on the laptop.  However the laptop doesn't appear anywhere.  I read how to set up find my Mac and at no times does it give me the option of telling it to use Find my iPhone.  What am I missing here?

    Check this and see if you have your music there.  Or check wherever you have you rmusic stored.
    I've never heard of an iOS device update that deleted the music in iTunes.

    Have you tried plugging your phone in to your Mac? iTunes should open and has many features.
    iPhone can also be synced with iCloud.

  • How can I find my MAC address on macbook pro?

    I just bought a new macbook pro with the lion software and can't find my MAC address.

    Did you look under the System Preferences > Network > Airport (or Ethernet) > Advanced
    The Airport ID or Ethernet ID is your MAC address, depending on which one your using.
    You can also use the Terminal

  • Where can I find the MAC Address of a Airport Extreme ?

    Where can I find the MAC Address of a Airport Extreme ?
    I need this to extend the wi fi range in my home. I'm using a Motorola Cable modem and to extend with Airport Extreme, I need to set up inside Motorola the MAC Address of the Airport Extreme.

    There are actually 3 MAC Addresses on an AirPort Extreme......1 for Ethernet, 1 for 2.4 GHz wireless and 1 for 5 GHz wireless.
    You can normally see them by using AirPort Utility. The rub here is that the AirPort needs to be setup and working to be accessed by AirPort Utility.
    The other approach is to look on the bottom of the AirPort. The newer AirPorts usually have this information in very small print, so a magnifying glass will probably be required. Other versions embed the numbers in the foam mat.
    Note.....Apple uses proprietary settings for the their wireless "extend" feature.....designed to only allow other Apple devices to connect. So, it is extremely unlikely that the AirPort would be compatible with a 3rd party router if you are trying to use the AirPort to wirelessly extend the network.
    Let us know if you are able to do this.

  • How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

    where can i find a pdf with the dutch version of the manual for lightroom 6

    I don't think it's available yet.  The English help page has a link to it:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/topics.html
    But the equivalent page for Netherlands only links to prior versions:
    Help bij Lightroom | Help bij Lightroom
    Same for DE, FR, ES.  Maybe someone more enlightened knows if they're available somewhere else on Adobe's site.

  • Can I connect two macs with thunder bolt ?

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.
