How do i switch on thé airdrop

how can i switch on the airdrop

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
AirDrop needs a Late 2008 or newer MacBook Pro. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4783 In this case, you can't enable AirDrop.
However, there are things that allow you to use it. For example, open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1 && killall Finder
Finally, open a Finder window and you should see AirDrop on the sidebar

  • HT201084 My family shares one Apple ID on multiple devices.  How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

    My family currently shares one Apple ID on multiple devices and has for quite awhile.  How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID and the Family Sharing without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

    Thank you again for your time, GB.
    I set up individual Apple ID's for my children so that they could have their own Apple ID on their individual iPad minis (gifts from grandparents last year).  When I go to iCloud under Settings, I see my Apple ID listed at the top, then my children's listed under Family Sharing.  So the device is still using my Apple ID for iCloud, iTunes, etc., correct?
    To "assign" their own Apple ID to their own iPad mini, I would need to "Sign Out" from my Apple ID.  When I attempt to do so, I receive a warning that all of the Documents and Data will be lost/deleted. 
    So, instead of doing this, I figured out that I could do what you suggested.  Signing in using a child's Apple ID will allow her/him to use Game Center, FaceTime, and Messages just fine.  However, using their Apple ID for iTunes & App Store proved to be a problem:  Purchased Music and Movies appeared in iTunes, but my Purchased Apps did not appear.  Some Apps even disappeared, e.g. Proloquo4Text (a $99 app to help my son speak with his iPad).
    So I reverted to using my Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, and I get everything that I want, EXCEPT for the iCloud storage for each Apple ID.
    So that's when I started wondering how Family Sharing was really benefiting me ~ It was a lot of work (deleting apps to allow space to download iOS 8, etc) without any benefit that I can see.  UNLESS I find a means to allow me to sign in each iPad's iCloud account with a different AppleID, then perhaps restore the Documents and Data from a backup?  Would that work?
    Thanks.

    Are you working with Acrobat or Photosohp? (You mention both PDF files and photos, so it's not clear.)
    Let us know what software you're thinking about upgrading and we can point you in the right direction.

  • How do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

    how do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

    You can simply sign out and sign in with the different ID. However, if you have any protected media - movies, or songs purchased before they stopped protecting them - you will not be able to play them, so in that case you are rather stuck.
    You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs. Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream; use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
    There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

    Remove the cwallet.sso file and check the wallet status in v$encryption_wallet.
    If it is not opened, try to open it with administer key statement.
    Check the status again.

  • Someone keeps putting my iPhone into lost mode in my other cloud account, and I keep getting out. How do I switch the cloud account to this one, so they won't be able to do it again

    Well, for the last week someones been putting my iPhone constantly in lost mode using my apple account and I keep getting out because I know my own password. I want to change the password but two other people I know use it, (who definetly wouldn't do this), someone else probably got ahold of the account and is spamming the phones into lost mode. I'm not in lost mode currently by the way. This repetition is really a hassle for me because I'm not always connected to the internet to get out of the lost mode, a few days ago, I went on a 12 hour flight and both my apple devices were probably put into the lost mode and I wasn't able to use my iPhone or iPad to do work and entertainment purposes. I was literally sitting there for 12 hours! So now that you sat through my problem, which I thank you for greatly, how do I switch apple/cloud accounts on my devices so this won't happen again? I hope you can give my solution, if there is one out there, and thank you in advance for atleast trying to solve my problem.

    The only way this can happen is with access to your id and password
    Read this and focus on "changing your Apple id"

  • I have 1 apple id, 2 5S iPhones with separates numbers and both ring when I get a call on one of the numbers. How do I switch that of ?

    I have 1 Apple ID, 2 5S iPhones (1 private/1 work) with separates numbers and both phones ring when I get a call on one of the numbers. How do I switch that of ?

    I realize that my wife could make her own iTunes account; however, she's been using mine for about 2 years now and this hasn't been an issue.  I guess with the Family Sharing she can have access to all of our music and apps now with her own account. 
    I'll have to see if unchecking our emails resolves this issue.

  • How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

    How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I assume you do mean a different account and not simply a different iTunes library. Unfortunately, in order to switch accounts, you would need to log out and log in to the second account.

  • How do I switch my iphone 4s from one apple id to another apple id?

    How can I switch my phone from one Apple ID to another Apple ID and keep all my apps/information?
    I want to use the same ID between my ipod and iphone.
    Is this possible?

    I'm assuming each device uses its own icloud account and you want them both to use the same account, but not lose data from the device you will do the switch on.  If this is the case you need to copy the data from the "old" account to the other account ....
    When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
    When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
    After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
    NOTE:  Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch. 

  • How do I switch my main and second iClound accounts?

    Hello all,
    This is not a problem with a @me account (which I don't have), but just I actually have to Apple IDs: one on the French store, associated with a credit card and that I use the most, the other one on the Korean store, with no credit card, and that I use only for the apps I cannot get through the French one.
    After the latest update for Lion on my Mac, it asked me to sign in for iCloud, which I did using my French account. The same thing happened after updating to iOS5 on my iPhone: I chose the French account when prompted with the question.
    But for some reason, I now have 2 accounts in "Mail, Contacts and Calendar" on the iPhone (not on the Mac): the first on the list (and which is considered the main one by the phone) is the Korean one (why??), with all the settings turned of except "Find my iPhone". The second one is the one I just set up with my French ID, and this one has a few options turned on, but is missing Photo Stream, Documents and BackUp, as it says this is only available for my main account.
    How do I switch these two accounts? I tried to click on "delete the account" at the bottom of the page for the one that is considered as the main by the phone (Korean ID), so that I can sign in again with the real main ID (French one), but then it tells me that everything that has been stored on the cloud will be removed from the phone… So I am not too sure about what to do. I guess "deleting" the Korean one won't change much because all the options are turned off. But then what happens with the other account? Will it automatically become the main one and get the options that were missing? Do I have to sign in again on the same page with the proper address?
    Thank you for your help!

    Sarah,
    From what it sounds like, you are pretty new to making websites and managing where the files get put for hosting. All hosts are somewhat different. I use Godaddy for hosting for the most part.
    To be sure you are doing the right thing, you need to ensure the following are in order:
    - Your domain namesneed to point to the right place on your hosting account
    If your domain names are not pointing to your hosting account with the right DNS settings, they will not display properly when you go to your website name in your web browser.
    - Your FTP settings need to be set correctly
    If you have a shared hosting space to host multiple websites, you will need to be sure that you are uploading the files for each website into the right folders. Your folders on your hard drive that contain your websites should pretty much be set up the same way as you are uploading them onto your hosting account.
    For convenience purposes, I have my domain name registration and hosting account through Godaddy. This helps to keep things simple enough that I can call them 24/7 to give me assistance when I need help configuring settings like this.
    I hope this helps. Good luck! Tom

  • I no longer have access to my current email.  How do I switch to another email account?

    As of last a few days ago, AOL has officially banned my account for a ludicrous reason; they said I was in breach of some sort of age restriction.  It's stupid, I know.  Anyway, now I use g-mail, and everything's been great, besides the fact that my old AOL account was what I used to set up every online account I've ever made, including my Apple Account.  How would I switch my account email address without any current access to my old one? 
    --Thank-you for taking time out of your day to answering my question.

    How old are you? there is an age limit (13) for iCloud as well.
