Airdrop not working on macbook pro

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009). AirDrop appears on finder or "Go" menu, but does not find any device.
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Ignacio

Yes, yesterday I shared a file between two iphones.
This is how the AirDrop window appears.
Thanks,
Ignacio

  • 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.

  • Handoff & AirDrop Not Working on MacBook Pro (Yosemite, iOS 8.1)

    Hi
    I'm trying to get Continuity working on my Mac but I'm not having any luck. Handoff and AirDrop are working well on my iPhone 5 and iPad Air 2 but it just won't work with the Mac.
    It's a 2012 model MacBoo Pro with Retina Display running the latest version of OS X Yosemite. Both of my other devices are running iOS 8.1 and I'm logged in to my iCloud on everything. I've tried signing out if iCloud on the Mac, turning Bluetooth off and on, turning Handoff off and on again on, restarting the Mac but no luck. I'm receiving texts on the Mac and phone calls so my Mac is connected to my iPhone in some sense but that's about it.
    I'm also having problems with Notification Center. I'm trying to add the Reminders widget to the Today view but whenever I add it nothing appears.
    I'm unable to make any changes to my Notifications in Settings either. I use Magic Prefs and every time I start my Mac a notification pops up saying it's active so I go to settings and turn them off and when I log in again I get the same message. This didn't used to happen in OS X Mavericks so I don't know why I can't change it now (I'm guessing it's a compatibility issue but just thought I'd mention it).
    Anyone got any solutions to my problems? Would really appreciate some help. Cheers

    I have upgraded ML but when the MBP tries to restart with the upgrade the MBP does not restart so I susapect the ML upgrade is not complete ? When you refer to 10.8.5 supplemental is this a separate upgrade ? When I connect the Thunderbolt to the MBP the Thunderbolt charges my MBP & I can play music from iTunes via the Thunderbolt. It is only the display that is not working on the Thunderbolt

    Generally signing out and signing in (signing out and back into the Creative Cloud application ) will fix this. If it isn't resolving the issue for you, let us know what you see and we can try something else.

  • AOL mail will not work on MacBook Pro, but works on iMac

    My wife has attempted to check her aol mail account online, through Safari, and every message that she opens appears as "garbage." I recently installed Snow Leopard on both of our computers. AOL mail works on my iMac, but not her Macbook Pro. Honestly, among other issues, I'm a little disappointed with Snow Leopard. Leopard was released without problems for either of us.

    Did you ever find out what the problem is???

  • External Display not working with MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011)

    I just bought the current MacBook Pro 13" (i7 processor). My external display (Benq 20"W, 1600x1050) always says "No Signal Detected!". I've tried it with a DVI-Adapter (Griffin Video Display Converter) and with a VGA-Adapter (LMP Mini DisplayPort-VGA-Adapter). With lower resolution I once got a picture (but with weird lines). On my old MacBook (white, 2.16 Ghz) there was never a problem with this display (also OS X 10.6.6). Who can help?

    Check this post if you want more info:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2774718
    The gist is that DVI is currently very iffy through Thunderbolt. Mini display -> mini display OR mini display -> HDMI should work fine. It's most likely not your adapter itself but the fact that it's DVI.
    If you can, get a mini display -> HDMI adapter and try that (assuming your external has HDMI).
    I should hear back tomorrow or Monday from apple engineers with more specific info about this issue and I will update then.
    BTW- DVI anywhere in the chain will make things fail. Mini Display -> DVI and a DVI/HDMI cable won't work with any reliability (I've tested it on three completely different monitors).

  • External superdrive  is not working on  macbook pro 15 inch(2011 model) with  mountain lion

    Hi,
    I try to install windows in my macbook pro via  bootcamp, but since I installed latest osx mountain lion on it, the external superdrive doesn't work anymore( even if on the startup mode, hardware can't detect it). superdrive works on my 2009-2010 mac mini server. help!

    The USB SuperDrive only works on Macs without SuperDrive, so it's not compatible with your Mac. You have to use your internal SuperDrive to install Windows

  • Instant Hotspot not working on MacBook Pro Early 2011?

    Hi and tnxs for reading.
    I have a MacBook Pro Early 2011, and I cannot figure out how to use Instant Hotspot.
    It is regularly working as standard hotspot by activating it on my iPhone and checking the iPhone WiFi Hotspot from WiFi menu, but otherwise is not available after the iPhone goes on stby...exactly as before.
    Is this a limitation like the major part of Continuity?

  • TS4323 Bluetooth not working on macbook pro 10.7.5

    Hi Everyone,
    Can u help me fixing my Bluetooth on my macbook pro 10.7.5
    it was not working including my camera and the keyboard backlights..
    Thanks

    Your PRAM battery may be on its way out.  After 4 years that starts to happen, and that can cause all sorts of peripheral failures even before the clock is affected.   Bring it in for service.

    I cannot reset the SMC by removing the battery, I do not have the confidence to remove my battery, and do not have the time to send the computer to someone else to do it.
    I also tried updating my OS from 10.7.4 (Might've been 10.7.3) to 10.7.5.
    My computer is a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010), running OS X 10.7.5 Lion.
    I need to get this problem fixed ASAP, any help is appreciated.
    Kind Regards,

    I forgot to mention, I'm connecting the monitor via MiniDisplay -> HDMI. I've also tried USB -> HDMI and USB -> DVI -> HDMI but none of them seem to work.

  • Thunderbolt 2 external hard drive not working with Macbook Pro (early 2011)

    Hi,
    I'm new to this forum and I hope you guys can help me with this:
    I've recently bought an external hard drive that works on Thunderbolt 2 (LaCie d2 3TB). When I connect the new drive to my Macbook Pro through the thunderbolt port, the drive isn't recognized. However, the drive works fine through a USB connection.
    I thought that Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 are compatible, however this doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe it's because the OS X / driver / firmware version that I'm working on that is not updated? I work on an early 2011 Macbook Pro: OS X Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
    Thank you very much for your help!
    Daniel

    Hi danielsh6,
    I recently bought the new Lacie Thunderbolt 2 D2 3TB and I had the same problem as you, i have a macbook pro early 2011, those support thunderbolt but many times there is a bug that doesn't let you connect any thunderbolt drives to your computer. The solution I found was installing this update:
    Thunderbolt Firmware Update v1.0
    Before doing this I would recommend you updating to mountain lion (not yosemite yet as there is still some glitches and more on preview's macbook pro's).
    Hope this helped!
