Airdrop not working between two 5s's!

My husband and I both have an Iphone 5s. Our wifi is on, our bluetooth is on, we have tried the airdrop on contacts and everyone. We are still not visible to each other on airdrop or bluetooth even if we are in the same room. Why isn't this feature working?

I know what you mean.
Searching around, one reasonable thing to try is trashing these preference files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.P2PSupervisor.plist
/Library/Preferences/System Configuration/CaptiveNetworkSupport/Settings.plist
Maybe restart.
Other things:
Reset NVRAM and PRAM
start up in Safe Mode

  • AirDrop not working between two MacBook Pros

    I have a late-2013 Retina MBP running Mavericks. When trying to send files via AirDrop between my laptop and another MBP (non-Retina, circa 2010) also running Mavericks, I have intermittent success. Both machines can usually see each other, and I am able to attempt to send files between them, but more than half the time the receiving computer fails to receive the request. It just never shows up. Everything seems to work fine on the sending end.
    It doesn't matter which machine is doing the sending or receiving. Restarting doesn't matter. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, no rhyme or reason I can see. Just now I tried to send a PDF from the non-Retina to the Retina: success. Five minutes later I tried another PDF: no luck. I tried to send a file from the Retina to the non-Retina: again, no luck. Both machines can still see each other. Both laptops are only a foot apart and didn't even move in the interim. What is going on?

  • Airdrop not working between MacBook Air 2012 and iMac2014 in Yosemite

    I can transfer files using Finder / Shared section, so the two computers are connected.  But the AirDrop application doesn't recognize either my iMac (2014) on my MacBook Air (2012), or vice versa.  I am running Yosemite.  I also have a MacMini (2010) that doesn't show up anywhere as well.
    I also have an older iPhone4 (2010) that doesn't run Yosemite.  If I buy the new iPhone6, I would like to use AirDrop to transfer files between my phone and 2 computers as well. 
    What's up?

    Has airdrop ever worked between these devices before?
    Have you tried restarting the network, and all devices?
    Do you use any antivirus software, or firewalls?

  • Mail in Mavericks not working between two macs.

    Hello all
    I have a 2012 iMac as well as a 2009 MacBook Pro. I am running Mavericks on both machines. I'm having issues with my exchange e-mail contacts and calendar, syncing between the two devices. I will get it to work on one device or the other but not both at the same time. More specifically in mail when it is working on one computer and I go to check my mail on the other it asks me to put in my password for that e-mail account. Every time I do this it does not work and it always returns an error. If I go to delete an account on either computer it tells me the account is linked to "Internet account" under settings for the computer. When I delete the exchange account from "Internet account" it warns me that it will delete the account off of both macs. When I re-add the exchange account mail, contacts and calander all work for whichever computer I add it on. But the other computer will only show calander or contacts not all three.
    Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong or have a solution? This is very frustrating and I cant seem to find a solution.

    Hi,
    Those last two I do not have on my iMac that is working and part of the issue I have in testing is I don't have a second Mac that will run Yosemite.
    Realistically it could be any of the ones that contain com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.private.alloy.***.plist
    The plain SMS.plist  only states it has been started up not what the Mac is linked to.
    Unfortunately nothing is standing out as the Specific one for me at the moment.

  • Airdrop not working on two new MBP

    I have two new MBPs and I want to simply transfer a 1.8mb .jpg file, however, after requesting to send it to the other Mac it never gets the message asking if it wants to accept it, it simply does not see the file and the Airdrop progress icon just spins. Both Macs are on the same network and the connection is good.  Airdrops does see both Macs. Why is it not working?
    Thanks.

    try this,
    make sure 2 macs are on the same network, not one on 802.11n and other on 802.11ac.
    go to system preferences - sharing, then make sure "file sharing" is checked, then click on "options", check "share files and folders using SMB" and "share files and folders using AFP", then relaunch finder.app.

  • Shared variable does not work between two computers

    I am using LabVIEW 8 on Windows XP computers.
    1. On one computer I have created two projects, writeProject and readProject.
    2.  In the writeProject I have a shared variable, writeData, which is "network-published" double. In this project I have a writeData.vi which in while loop assigns a random value to the writeData variable.
    3. In the readProject I have a shared variable, readData, which is "network-published" double and is bound to the writeData variable.  This is on the same computer as the writeProject.
    4. I run both the writeData.vi and the readData.vi and all works fine.
    5. Now, I create a readProject on a diferent computer.  Perform all the steps as described above and also in tools/shared variable/register computer, I have entered the IP address of the target computer on which the writeData shared variable exists.
    6. Binding the readData variable fails in the following way.  When I browse for the source, in the "Select Source Item" dialog, I see <IP> <Populating Node...>, where <IP> is the IP address of the source computer (on which exists the writeData shared variable).  A very long time later it is still "Populating Node...".  Neddless to say, this readData.vi does not work!
    What am I doing wrong?  Or, perhapse what else do I need to do to make it work?

  • Airdrop not working between my iMac 2010 running Yosemite and iPad Air STILL!

    My iMac (i7 2.93GHz 16GB RAM) is using Bluetooth 4.3 and is hooked up to the same 802.11n 104Mbps wifi network as my iPad Air running iOS8.
    Airdrop STILL doesn't work between iMac and iOS8, despite the much-trumpeted new Yosemite feature.
    I've been waiting for an easy way to get files on and off my iOS devices for ages, and feel severely let down.
    Anyone able to explain this for me before I get too disillusioned with Apple's forced hardware upgrade policy?
    The iMac is mid 2010, so supposedly can't use the feature, but why? If there is no technical reason why I can't share files using Airdrop, then this absolutely 5ucks!

    This is what my Airdrop looks like.  It doesn't pick up my iPad, running ios8 (Airdrop is ON) and none of the drop down menus function.  What is the big question mark?
    I am using an iMac, just upgraded to the new Yosemite yesterday (BTW, Airdrop never worked previously either, and the window looked the same as now)

  • IChat video chat not working between two iMacs running OSX Leopard 10.5.1

  • AirDrop not working between MacBook Pro and iPad/iPhone 5

    AirDrop isn't working with new operating system between iOS devices and MacBook Pro. Not sure what to do now. There are no options below on my AirDrop that can select between older Macs and iOS devices

    First  change airdrop setting from contacts to anyone for testing.
    The default level is that contacts only. That means your iPhone contact app has to have the apple id that  your iPad currently use, to show the iPad in airdrop of the iPhone.
    If above is not your problem, try logout your iCloud account, in Settings-iCloud, then login again. Turn off your iOS devices and re-open it. This can fix problems potentially in iCloud account. My iPhone 5 has that potential problem in iCloud account which asks me many times a day to re-entery my apple id's password, which leads to contacts syncing, which affects airdrop's contact setting, I think.

  • Imessage not working between two iPhones

    We just got our son an Iphone 5C for christmas!  iMessage works just fine between his phone, his mother and brothers iPhones but not with my iPhone. He can send me an iMessage which I can recieve just fine but any reply I make to him is showing as a "green" (SMS) text. This is only happening with his phone and mine, any other texts I send to my wife or other son go thru as "blues". All phones are properly registered with apple with their own IDs and are all up to date with iOS 7.0.4
    Thoughts? Ideas? suggestions?

  • Airdrop not working between iMac mid 2011 and MBA mid 2013

    Hi everyone,
    This week I bought a MBA 2013 for my girfriend and myself, they see eachother when attempting to use Airdrop, flawlessly transfering files. I have an iMac from mid 2011 which will not see either MacBook AIr over Airdrop. It is quite annoying to say the least. I have read around the posts here and there seems to be little to no support for this problem, which seems to afflict quite a few people.
    They are all on the same network, all have file sharing enabled in system pref. and all of them clearly support Airdrop. I have deleted and re entered my Apple ID info to no avail.
    Does anyone have an answer to this problem? It seems like there are enough people to warrant intervention on Apple's part.
    Looking forward to any and all replies, cheers Pluckaduck

    This article explains:
    Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
    From one of the Macs looking for the iMac, start AirDrop in Finder and get to the following display:
    Presumably you do not see the iMac, so click the "Don't see who you're looking for" link.  That will display this:
    Press "Search for an Older Mac" and you'll be set!

  • Export memory statement not working between two methods

    hello all
    i m implementing one BADI MB_MIGO_BADI .this BADI is having 2 methods 1)LINE_MODIFY and 2)PBO_DETAIL.
    the followng is the code in LINE_MODIFY methd
    DATA : c_flag TYPE c .
      TYPES:BEGIN OF tp_ecppa,
            prvsy     TYPE /sapsll/prvsy_spi,

    SET PARAMETER ID 'PMEM' FIELD c_flag.
      export c_flag from c_flag  to memory id 'mem1'.
    the following is the code in PBO_DETAIL method

    endif.
    free memory id 'PMEM'.
    ENDMETHOD.                    "IF_EX_MB_MIGO_BADI~PBO_DETAIL
    but the new tab is not displayed in MIGO . so i think there is some mistake in  export memory statement .
    so could you please check if i have used export/import statements correctly.

    If problem is rectified, Please mark as answered.

  • Rollback does not work between two databases

    I have two databases, A and B and a database link.
    I have a procedure in database A that has calls to procedures of database B. When commit in A then gives error (ora-06512), then I make rollback, but only does for database A, in database B has recorded the data. It's normally? What's happens?
    Thanks

    I'm afraid you'll need to give as more information; ORA-06512 is a very generic message and is used to indicate which line another error occured. Can you tell us what that error was, and exactly what you're trying to do?
    Thanks,
