HT5887 airdrop between iPhone 6 plus IOS 8.1 & macbook pro 2012 Yosemite

I have iPhone 6 Plus running IOS 8.1, I'm not able to use the airdrop between the macbook pro 2012 running Yosemite. Either of the devices are not detecting each other in airdrop. I have checked all the settings & everything is good. The airdrop is all active & is set to see everyone too, still nothing is happening.

  • AirDrop between iPhone 6 plus (iOS 8.1) and MacBook Pro retina early 2013 not working

    Hi there,
        Can somebody please help me. I ent to transfer so videos that I have saved via airdrop To my MacBook pro from my iPhone 6plus.
    When I try to send via airdrop, neither my phone shows the MacBook as available not does my MacBook show that my phone is available to send/receive files via airdrop. I have wifi and Bluetooth activated. Please can somebody help? I can't email the files because they are too large for that.
    Thank you.

    Hey romeopatel,
    I see that you are experiencing some issues with AirDrop. I have an article with some information for you about what to do if your device is not appearing when attempting to AirDrop:
    Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6510
    Don't see who you're looking for?
    When you select AirDrop, OS X looks for other Mac computers and devices that are nearby that also use AirDrop. If you don't see someone in the AirDrop window, here are some things to check.
    Preventing senders
    You can prevent people you don't know from sending you files, or you can allow everyone. If you don't see a recipient in the AirDrop window, they might only accept files from people who in their Contacts list. Ask them to add you in their Contacts app, or have them select the option "Allow me to be discovered by: Everyone" in the AirDrop window.
    Sending files to and from an older Mac
    If a Mac you're using with AirDrop was manufactured before 2012, you can send and receive files with other Mac computers.
    On the sending Mac, click "Don't see who you're looking for" in the AirDrop window.
    Select the option to "Search for an Older Mac."
    On the receiving Mac, open a new Finder window and click AirDrop in the sidebar.
    Tips for sending files
    Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on your Mac and your iOS device. Although you don't have to connect to a specific network, Wi-Fi needs to be on to send and receive files using AirDrop.
    Move your devices closer together. AirDrop is designed to work within a range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters). If you need to send a file to someone farther away, consider using File Sharing, iCloud, or email instead.
    If you're using a firewall on your Mac, you won't be able to receive AirDrop files if you have enabled "Block all incoming connections" in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences.
    Make sure your devices meet system requirements for AirDrop.
    System Requirements
    To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
    MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
    iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
    *The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
    For help identifying your Apple product, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu, or refer to the Apple Support website.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • HT4623 How do I upload my photos on my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto on my MacBook Pro

    How do I upload my photos I took on my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto on my MacBook Pro 2012. I operate OS X 10.8.3 and have iOS6.1.3 installed on my iPhone.

    Hi J-L Bos,
    You hook your phone up to your Mac. This should cause iPhoto to automatically open and to scan your phone's photos. If it finds photos that have not been imported yet, it should ask you if you want to import them. Once the import is complete, iPhoto will ask you if you want to delete the photos you just imported from your phone.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • AirDrop between iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.2 and iMac Yosemite 10.10.1 only working if both have Everyone for AirDrop discovery

    AirDrop between iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.2 and iMac 5k Retina Yosemite 10.10.1 is only working if both have Everyone selected in AirDrop discovery options. If the option is set to Contacts Only in one of them then neither device can see the other.
    Is there a way to limit AirDrop to contacts only and allow both devices to see each other?
    Both are setup with the same iCloud Drive account. I use the iMac to sync iTunes for this phone so the phone does trust this iMac.
    Thanks,
    Vladimir.

    I am still having the same issue. I have tried Apple Support AGAIN. Still no resolution.
    I cannot use my calendar on my Macbook Air OR my iPhone at all.
    iCal just crashes!!! I have tried contacting Google, but they have not responded AT ALL.
    Not very happy. Apple have at least spent time trying to sort this. Anyone got any answers?

  • Notes does not sync between iPhone 6 plus and iPad Air

    The Notes app does not sync between iPhone 6 plus and iPad Air. These used to sync before when I had an iPhone 4. I have been trying to troubleshoot this for about an hour now, so all the basics such as deciding on a default Notes account, to turning on and off iCloud functions for both devices, as well as signing out of of my apple account on both devices, then back in. Nothing seems to be working - is this a fault in the current iOs?? It's driving me nuts.

    You can't pair iOS devices.
    that's not how continuity works.

    There aren’t any. AirDrop between the platforms requires that the Mac support Bluetooth 4.0, which wasn’t introduced to them until the 2012 models.

  • Does anyone face BlackScreen on Whatsapp if using front camera on your Iphone 6 plus Ios 8.0.2?

    Does anyone face BlackScreen on Whatsapp if using front camera on your Iphone 6 plus Ios 8.0.2?

    Hi,
    I'm having also having game sound issues the game music and sounds just go completely quiet in iOS 8.1. Sometimes it'll just be completely quiet and others I'll have game music and sounds and partway through the game I'll lose audio. It's not the side lock/mute button either which I checked.
    It's happening in two different games: Shadowgun:Deadzone and Modern Combat 5.
    I have that side button above the volume set to toggle mute and I tried changing it to lock rotation instead to see if that made a difference which it did not. I have to kill the game and relaunch it to get the game audio working again.

  • Iphone 6 plus ios 8.2 freezes up

    It only happened of late that when I tried to type my messages be it on whatsapp, wechat or even safari, it would freeze up and the only way to get around it is to hit the button on the right to go on standby and then wake the phone up again and access the app to continue.
    I realised I've also been having my phone freeze up when I wake it up from using TouchID, and tapping on my Setting icon. The only way to get around this problem is by doing the above as well.
    Does this happen to anyone and if its a problem with ios 8.2?

    The problem is much more complex than is there a smudge on the lens or is your finger covering the lens. It appears to be iOS 8.2 related as the issue coincided perfectly with my upgrade to iOS 8.2 on my 6 plus. The focus is now fixed to approximately 12 inches. Landscapes are incredibly blurry. If I tap to focus the lighting box will come up but it will not focus. Reboots and changes to HDR do not fix it. Changes in mode (i.e. slo-mo, time-lapse, video) have the same problem.

  • Is there a fix for the incompatibility issue between iphone 5c running ios 7 and sentra bluetooth?

    So i can pair my iphone 5c running ios 7 successfully with my 2012 sentra, bluetooth, however when placing and receiving calls, I hear a clicking, constant and unnverving.  My wife's LG Cosmos works without a hitch. I can use it to make calls, etc through my nav system (may have to switch until there is a fix to iphone 5c).  The nissan website indicates that compatible iphones go up to iphone 5.  Anyone know of a fix for ios 7, iphone 5c?  or any other workaround.
    Thanks.

    I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple.  I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it.  Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours),  I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
    I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway).  Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent.  I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
    Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something.  Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month.
