AirDrop iPhone 5 not working

Airdrop isn't working for me to send with. I can receive fine from my wife's phone, but I cannot see or send to her, regardless of how I set it up, either contacts only or everyone. At first I could see her phone but since a reboot, I cannot.

I'm having this same problem. I can airdrop my husband, but he can no longer airdrop me. Please advise.

What are you trying to AirDrop to? Another iOS device or a Mac?
Check out this tutorial for getting AirDrop setup as well as the system requirements...make sure your devices all meet the stated requirements.

hi
i tried to update to ios 8.2 on my iphone 5s when message popup to me now my iphone not working, please help i dont want to lose my data

What is the exact text of the message you got? And did you not back up before you updated?

HT204065 Group text with one non iPhone not working on iPhone 6 in the group.

Group text with one non iPhone not working on one iPhone 6 in group. SMS, MMS and iMessage as well as group messaging are all turned on. Has worked intermittently but now cannot see or respond in that particular chain. Can send independently to the non iPhone (Samsung) but not in group. Other iPhone 6 and 5 in group work fine.

The reason why you have to turn off 3Gs is because T-Mobile does not support iPhones 1700 something or other. You have to turn off the 3Gs on the iPhone to make it work.
As already provided, it shouldn't matter since the iPhone is designed to automatically connect to the fastest internet connection available. If wi-fi access and 3G network access is on, when in range of an available wi-fi network you have access to and have connected your iPhone with previously, the iPhone will connect to the wi-fi network automatically. When leaving the range of the wi-fi network, the iPhone will connect to the 3G network if 3G network access is available. If 3G network access is not available, the iPhone will connect to EDGE or GPRS - whichever is available at the time.
If this is unique to T-Mobile's network with the iPhone for some reason since T-Mobile is not an official carrier for the iPhone in the U.S. and you were instructed by T-Mobile to do so, then you need to do so.
If this is not working now, the problem lies with T-Mobile and I have no idea what to tell them for them to recognize where the problem lies on their end.

Find my iPhone not working

My son's iPhone 4s was locked a few months ago by some friends who were playing a joke on him. They input the wrong passcode over and over again until it was locked indefinietly. I had to restore the iPhone using a method I found online and got his phone working again. I didn't realize it until recently, but his Find My iPhone app no longer works. It is on and logged in as my Apple ID (although I have to continually put the password in). Anytime I try to use Find My iPhone to locate his phone, it shows me that his phone is offline. Even when I open the app on his phone and try to locate his phone, it says it's offline.
I feel that this issue has something to do with the restore that I did. I don't remember exactly HOW I restored the phone, but know I used iTunes. I've checked his settings for Location Services and Find My iPhone...All are active and Find My iPhone is active on my sons phone. His phone is also updated to the most recent iOS software. The wierd thing is, I CAN find him or his phone using the Find Friends app. He has a tendency to misplace his phone in our home and the Find My iPhone app is great because it allows me to send a signal to play a sound to help us locate it. The Find Friends app doesn't have that capability. Has anyone else had an issue with Find My iPhone not working after a restore?

Usually Apple recommended the below steps :
Why your iPhone (iPad, or iPod Touch) not appear in Find My iPhone?
Here are some reasons:
Your iCloud account is not configured on your device. Choose Settings > iCloud and enter your iCloud account information.
Your device is not update. It needs to be running iOS 5 or higher.
The date is incorrect on your device. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
Your device has lost network connectivity. If you have access to your device, and it appears to have an active Internet connection, in this case enable and then disable Airplane mode or turn the device off and back on.
Your device appears in Find My iPhone, but is offline, the reasons:
Your device is powered off, such as when the battery has run out.
Your iPhone’s cellular service has been terminated by your wireless service provider.
Your iPod Touch, iPad, or Mac is asleep and not connected to a known Wi-Fi network. The command will be processed when your device is awakened and connected to the Internet.

Iphone not work i can only see the APPLE NOT WORK, iphone not work i can only see the APPLE NOT WORK

First, try to reset by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
If this does not help, connect in recovery mode and restore, explained in this article: iOS: Unable to update or restore

you might want to attempt backing up the device to iTunes and then restoring again.

maybe even place the device in recovery mode and then restore again as a last resort.

so that airdrop does not work my? , not even it appears to me the configuration of this application.

Hi, as the forum topic title says: iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store, I guess this the right place to ask !!!
Anyway I already tried to contact the developer. Page's link does not bring anywhere. no site, no contact mail :(:( it seems Apple bought a App from some... Ghost. And, worst, now the App disappeared from ITunes Store and.... Apple support (at least by email) just mistalk about it giving no solution at all. I really guess who reply mails is a f...g computer trying analyzing the question and trying give solution. Coz their emails are always confusing or talking about sth else than my troubleshooting.
Anyway... Ok... I just hope have at least my money back.
Bye

Airdrop does not work in iMac on my network

Trying to transfer files through Airdrop. It absolutely does not work or recognize anything on any of my iMacs (2011,2014) from iPhone6 through Airport network. When I go to my friend's house (same Airport and iMac and iphone) Airdrop works just fine.
This is what i see on my finder. Even when everything I have is connected to the network and the Airdrop finder page is on or I'm trying to send an image or something through my iphone

With Yosemite we have a new kind of AirDrop and what used to be AirDrop is now "Legacy Airdrop" because older computers cannot support the new standard. On your newer computer (The late 2013) model when you select AirDrop you'll see in blue type "Don't see who you're looking for?" You have to click on that link and then click on "Search for an Older Mac"
Assuming you've already selected AirDrop on the older Mac, it will appear as you'd expect on the 2013 iMac. I've found that sometimes once the "Legacy AirDrop" has been selected on the new computer on my older MBP I have to unselect AirDrop and then reselect it for the newer computers to be seen on the older MBP.
Hope this resolves your problem. Almost forget - choosing "Legacy" isn't sticky. You have to do this every time you want to Airdrop with an older computer.

IPhone not working with Windows 7. Message asks to install 64-bit version

Full error message; "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes".
I have just bought my wife a brand new iPhone 32Gb 3S for Christmas & now it's the most expensive paperweight I own. My wife has also just bought me a brand new 16Gb Nano, which also now comes up with error messages when connected, saying that it faild to load and I need to disconnect it & reconnect it. Naturally, this does not work either.
I'm running Windows 7 & the current 64 bit version of iTunes, but no matter what I do, the above error message comes up.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, very carefully following the exact process & order as detailed by apple, with no luck.
Everywhere I look, there seems to be references to a piece of software that should exist on my computer; "Apple Mobile Device Application Support", yet this is not to be found anywhere.
I have spent over 2 hours on the phone with the Apple techies, with no results whatsoever.
Can ANYONE assist me as I'm going completely bonkers & am about to storm into the Apple store and demand my money back?

The MSCONFIG workaround requires I-tunes and I-phone code to be installed on the machine. The problem is that I-tunes will not install on XP 64-bit machines. It will install on Vista but NOT XP. MSCONFIG requires the user to allow code that can't be on the machine until it's been installed! Apple staff have confirmed this to me over the phone after I spent half a day trying to figure it out.
There is an option, which I know some Apple staff are aware of, which has been set up by a Japanese kid and can be found here:
http://sites.google.com/site/yukichigai/iphonex64
There are also a couple of 3rd party I-pod readers which, if I name them, will probably get me kicked off the list. Why the f*ck can't Apple sort this out. XP 64 bit has been around for FIVE YEARS!!!

ITunes / iPhone not working properly after newest update...

iTunes is not working properly after the newest update... It dosen't see my iPhone, the program acts very sluggish, and has trouble loading the Store. Anyone have a solution or an explanation? I have tried the suggestions found in other threads ie. restart, re-download, charge phone, restart phone and so on. Nothing works. Everything was working fine until iTunes and the new ios were installed. After that it all went to crap. Thanks, Randy...

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Quick Look for Mail on iPad/iPhone not working

HI, I've confirmed this with two other iOS users: Quick Look is not working properly on any audio attachment sent recently. Very odd. This past Sunday (12/9) I received an mp3 file from someone, and it opens just fine on my iPad/iPhone. Tuesday, someone sent me an mp3, but when I tap on it, it will briefly open the Quick Time Quick Look, then close it immediately. Yet a third person sent me a different mp3 yesterday, same thing. My wife has an iPad and iPhone as well, and access to those emails, with the same outcome. I forwarded the emails to a friend in another state, and he experiences the same exact issues. Anyone know if something happened to cause these issues? VERY annoying. Thanks for help
iPad2 running iOS6

Thank you very much. That makes perfect sense and I'm sure your right.
However I'd have no idea what address to put and where. (DNS/Port forwarding/Firewall in router settings?). Before you say ask your IT man in the office; thats me, (very small company!). I'd have to outsource this one to our IT guys and at a few hundred quid for a call out I might give that a miss.
I imagine people would need to see my router setting etc so that probably ends this there? Unless there is just an obvious place to find the info that I'm missing?
