I can't get airdrop to work

My colleague and I both have iPhone 5S phones running iOS 7.0.4. We have been trying to get AirDrop to wok and have gotten it to work once. We tap on the AirDrop icon and we can't see each others phones, either selecting Everyone or Contacts.
Thoughts?

Best advice I can give u is simply text/mms what ever it is your trying to get to your friends iphone. To be honest airdrop is a very unnecessary thing that Apple placed in their updates. The fact it only allows u to send pics/videos/contacts that *****. We've been doing that via text for a long time. In short don't hustle over it cause its a waist of time. It was doing me the same thing then it started working after a while but to find out after that it's no big deal, my friend your not missing anything.

    OS X Lion- Can I use AirDrop with my computer?
    Lion and AirDrop
    Enable AirDrop on Macs without supported wireless hardware
    Subject: Pimping airport on older macs to support Air drop in Lion
    I recently was disappointed to find that neither my early 2008 imac nor macbookpro support airdrop.
    A japanese site reports that the following cards work:
    The cards that support AirDrop by default:
    Broadcom BCM94322MC, BCM94322HM8L
    Atheros AR5BXB112, AR5BXB92, AR5BHB92, AR5B93
    (And sounds like Atheros AR5B95 would work if AirPortAtheros40.kext edited to add DevID = 0x002b. Ditto for AR5BXB72 if edited for DevID = 0x0024.)
    Cards that do not support AirDrop:
    Broadcom BCM94321MC, BCM94312MCG, BCM94312MCAG, BCM94311MCG
    I'm in the process of buying a broadcom card off ebay and will attempt to install as soon as it arrives. An install video is available on youtube: Core Duo 15in MacBook Pro Airport Card Replacement
    (There's an old illustrated article here on that card swap/upgrade from Feb. 2007. Of course Lion doesn't support Core Duo CPUs.)
    If any one else has any input on this topic it would be appreciated.

  • I can't get airdrop to work between iPhone 5 and Macbook Air.

    Can anyone tell me how to use airdrop between iPhone and Macbook?

    Airdrop betweem iOS and OS X devices is not currently supported.

  • Can't get Airdrop to work between my iPhone 6+ and my Mac?

    Hello,
    One of the most exciting features of Yosemite to me was the ability to Airdrop between my Mac and my iPhone, I've been wanting to do this since the introduction of Airdrop.
    Both devices have Bluetooth enabled, when I try pairing the devices together the Mac says 'connected', then immediately says 'disconnected' then I get a message saying: "Network Access is Unavailable"
    I've got all options that should be on, on. Anyone dealing with anything similar?
    This is an 'older' Mac (early 2011, the last 17") Could that be the trouble?
    Thanks!

    Try rebooting your router.

  • Have entrourage and want to use Mail. Can't get it to work.

    I had a macbook and purchased the Microsoft office for Mac which included Entrourage.
    I have now purchased a new macbook Pro and want to begin to use Mail rather than Entrourage. 
    I have Entrourage on my new computer but i can't get it to transfer my information to the the Mail program
    I am on Charter.net at my office and sbcglobal.net at home.
    How can i get this to work.  I can receive on Mail, but i can't send.

    check your outgoing port settings and make sure it's using a specific port and not the default port, also you might want to check to see if it is using SSL, TLS or any other encryption.  Verify the setting from your old machine setup.

    got my password wrong twice and my mini is disable. I connected to iTunes, but can't get it to work. Can some one guide my through?

    If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

    Hi,
    Is there an iPhone involved ?
    If not, what happens  if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
    What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
    Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

  • I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

    I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.

    Hello,
    You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
    If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
    Best of luck

  • I have a go daddy email account and I can't get it to work on my iPad

    I have a go daddy email account and I can't get it to work on my iPad

    Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
    If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad.

    I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161.  Any ideas?

    The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.

    Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.

    Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
    Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
    There are tutorials here

The order is still pending processing, which is why you haven't yet been able to log in an use your subscription. It can take 24-48 hours for a subscription to process fully. Once it does, you'll be able to log in and convert files.
