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.

  • Aperture 3 not working on brand new MBP???

    Just tried to open Aperture 3 on my brand new MBP and I get this error message:
    Dyld Error Message:
      Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
      Referenced from: /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture
      Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:
              /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
    I downloaded A3 from the Mac Store, I've deleted it and re-installed and still get the same message. My MBP is running 10.6.8.
    Any ideas, hope you can help.
    Thanks!

    Hi, Thanks! The solution on the Macrumors forum worked! A plugin manager issue!
    I've copied the solution below for anyone else who may run into the issue.
    Turns out it's a simple fix.
    For those with the same problem:
    1. Navigate to: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
    2. Delete the PluginManager
    3. Get a new copy of the PluginManager. (You can copy one from a friends macbook) or use the one hosted here: http://qvenon.com/files/PluginManager.zip
    Thanks again!

  • 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?

    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
    Sacrifice a lamb.

  • 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?

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 serial number does not work on my new MAC. It does work on my old MAC.

    I have Adobe Illustrator CS6 installed on my new Mac but the serial number does not work.
    Do I need to remove the program on the old Mac first?

    Thanks for you reply
    Then I do not understand why the serial number does not work? I have tried to type it several times.

    You can install it on two computers simultaneously, so uninstalling is not needed if it's the only other installation.

    I bought my macbook pro on August 2011 at an apple store, with the Intel i7. However mirrorring in not working with two of my Apple TVs. These Apple TVs are 2nd and 3rd generation loaded with the latest software. I can succesfully transmit from my itunes on my Macbook pro to both Apple TVs, but I can not see the airplay icon on the taskbar. Can someone help?

  • AirDrop not working on supported machines

    Hey guys!
    I have a problem getting AirDrop to work on two supported machines. I double checked with the system requirements and both are able to run AirDrop, both display the icon in the Finder and both seem to start looking for other Macs once you click on the icon. Neither of them can find the other Mac though, regardless of how close the two are to each other. Even standing right beside one another, my 2009 24 inch iMac (9,1) cannot see my 2009 13.3 inch MacBook Pro and vice versa. I also tried my mom's 13.3 inch MacBook Pro, same exact model as mine and it's not working either, same problem, both machines are looking for other hardware but cannot see any.
    Network works flawlessly for every other operation so I don't really think that this could be the problem, either.
    Both computers have the latest software updates installed.
    Hope someone can help. Cheers.

    Same thing for me, MacBookPro 2011 and Air 2011, they can't see each other. Anyone have a clue?

  • I was running KeyPassFox with Firefox 8.0.1, but the plugin does not work in the new release (9) . Is there a way to restore my previous version with all of my bookmarks intact? I do not mind if I have to restore the plugins myself.

    I was running KeyPassFox with Firefox 8.0.1, but the plugin does not work in the new release (9) . Is there a way to restore my previous version with all of my bookmarks intact? I do not mind if I have to restore the plugins myself.
    The plugin shows on the list as enabled and functioning, yet the tool does not show on the toolbar. It would appear that I need to restore the previous version of Firefox and wait until a newer release of the plugin is available before upgrading the browser.

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

  • Proximity Sensor Not Working on Brand new Z2

    Hi, The Proximity sensor is not working on my new Xperia Z2. I have ran all the tests on the phone and they have failed. When Put up to the ear during a call the screen does not switch off and all the icons get pressed etc. This is VERY annoying as i cant even speak to anyone for a minute before im dialing someone else by mistake. All Software is up to date. SONY, What the soslution here? I will be taking it into the Sony Center here tomorrow but I dont want to be without my only buisness phone for 3-4 days.

    OK installed each update to the pre-installed apps one at a time and tested the proximity sensor after each. All fine till Sony TV Side view : quick remote. after instalation proximity sensor stopped working. after uninstall all working fine again.Seems this is the culprit but I will add my 3rd party apps one at a time just to make sure. 

  • Joikuspot not working on brand new Nokia 808

    I've just purchased a Nokia 808 from Singapora and tried using Joikuspot.  Unfortunately for some reason it fails to start a connection.  I've made sure that BOTH mobile data and wifi are on as well.  When I start the program, it asks if I want to start a connection (to which I say yes), I choose AT&T Internet and wait.  I can see the 3G internet icon start up, but the wifi icon (or transmitting icon) never appears and the message "Connection failed, Connection unavailable" appears up at the top.
    I've tried reinstalling Joikuspot (well, I purchased the premium version actually), reinstalling the phone software (via Nokia Suite) and doing a factory reset with no success.  Internet and other apps seem to work fine under 3G and wifi as well so I'm not sure what's going on.  Any information regarding the matter would be extremely helpful.  Thanks everyone.
    Jon
    Btw, I've also contacted the people at Joiku and what they've recommended (factory reset, checking certain settings) hasn't worked either. :-(

    Hi all,
    This post is about using the third party application JoikuSpot in USA (and other FCC governed countries) and is copied to the following threads:
    http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Phone-Applications/Joikuspot-not-working-on-brand-new-Nokia-808/m-p/...
    http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/Pureview-808-Intermittent-wireless-c...
    http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/Help-Does-non-US-variant-808-purevie...
    1) It doesn't matter where you get your Nokia 808 PureView from, ie it doesn't matter if it's a US, Singapore or Finnish variant.. If you are using that device on a network/carrier in the US, the device recognises this and is not going to allow you to make Ad-Hoc wlan connections, as per the regulations set out by the FCC.
    2) I understand (this I am not certain on) that the FCC regulations came into force in 2011. Therefore for any device manufacturer since then, the device is not allowed to create Ad-Hoc networks otherwise the device manufacturer wouldn't get FCC approval.
    3) The FCC restrictons are in this case technically talking about Ad-Hoc networks, not 'wifi direct' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Direct) networks that are used for example in Lumia 610/710/800/900.
    4) I understand the US Variants of Nokia 808 PureView do not have JoikuSpot preinstalled.
    5) I understand that US customers are not able to purchase JoikuSpot from Nokia Store.
    6) JoikuSoft should be aware of this as they are making the software to create the Ad-Hoc networks. I will find someone to talk to JoikuSoft, failing that I will do it myself. I noticed a post from 'greentoy' claiming "According to Joikusoft Support, It should work fine in US, but they didn't know for sure.". Greentoy, if you're reading this please post me the JoikuSoft contact you had so I can sort this out with them.
    It goes without saying, if you have Nokia 808 PureView in the US, and are using JoikuSpot successfully, then I am happy for you and don't want to cause problems for you, but I suspect the FCC would be happy to tell you about their feelings..
    Are there any other questions I should be aware of using JoikuSpot in the US before I try to get in touch with JoikuSoft?

  • Siri not working on brand new iPhone 4S - using 4G or Wi-Fi

    Siri not working on brand new iPhone 4S - using 4G and Wi-Fi
    I have tried multiple times over numerous days in multiple locations
    Any hints?

    Well to start your iPhone 4S does not have 4G... it just shows 4G at the top of the screen..
    Try turning SIRI off and on.. if that does not work
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings..
    Because SIRI is a network connection to a server nothing more.. it is not on your device so nothing is wrong with your phone..
    Also SIRI is in BETA... and not 100%
