Iphone 6 - Airdrop doesn't work

i have a problem with my iphone 6, ios 8. When i try to send files thru airdrop from iphone to mac, it doesn't work because my iphone doesn't see my mac. Although when i try to send file from mac to iphone, it work. Can you help me?

Nothing,
it doesn't work
Apple need to find a quick solution to this buggy "feature".
I'm tired of having my Samsung-loving friend show me they can exchange files via bluetooth.
Ok, they can also share malware, and we don't, but the sad truth is we can't share a thing
Willingly or not...
It's far quicker to send pictures via email
(which is something of a paradox, given that the email server is God knows where and the distance between my iPhone and my Mac is 20cm...)

My Airdrop doesn't work

My airdrop doesn't work even though I have it turned it on the 'everyone' setting. It's the same for my friends that have iPhone 5's/iPod touch 5's or above. When I go to share a photo or website the airdrop section comes up saying that no one has it turned on. The only time it's ever worked was when I got my iPad mini and 2 iPhone 5s with it turned on but even then it's taken over 1 min for everyone to come up? Please help

For those who have the same problem I took my iPhone into Apple on Saturday to see what was going on and they did a diagnostic test and didn't find any problems so they took it away to open it up and as well see if it could connect it to some Bluetooth devices. When they came back they said that the Bluetooth wasn't working and so they replaced the phone for me. So if u do have this problem it's probably best to take it to apple and see what they can do

Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with.

Iphone 4s suddenly doesn't work.

iphone 4s suddenly doesn't work. "Slide to unlock"doesn't work. Touch screen doesn't work,power switch doesn't work.screen still black,call incoming work but can't received. Anyone have a solution to this or why this happened? please answer me

Why do you ask? Do you think you were fired and don't know it yet?
No, they can't just 'turn it off'. They can not control whether it will power on or not.
Since it's a corporate device. Take it in and have your help desk/IT department look at it.

I had a problem my iphone 4 mouthpiece doesn't work when i am calling other mobile phone

i had a problem my iphone 4 mouthpiece doesn't work, when i am calling other mobile phone they can't hear me but i can hear them. But when I am using the skype and viber to talk to other people they can hear me perfectly. and also when I record my voice it sounds good i can hear my voice.. i dont know what is wrong with my phone?

I get trying to unlock it and it finally accepted the 4 digit PIN number on my SIM Card, which it wasnt accepting before (there is also a super PIN number, which i dont know whats for). And now it says "no service". I am reseting the phone and sometimes it just says "no service" and other times the SIM Card is locked again and it doesn't accept the PIN number anymore...

Well if you restore your iPad that might work. If its a software issue, it might solve it. If that doesn't work, it might be a hardware issue that apple can fix.

How do I retrieve text messages from a iPhone 4S that doesn't work anymore?

How do I retrieve text messages from a iPhone 4S that doesn't work anymore?

If the phone isn't working, you can't. If you have a backup on your computer, you may be able to extract them from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor (see http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com).

AirDrop doesn't work on my MacBook

Hi
I have a macbook pro retina display, bought in early 2013. Running with 3 GHz Intel Core i7 and 8GB RAM.
I used to have OS X Mountain Lion and i upgraded it with the Mavericks version 10.9.5 (the worst OS) and since then my airdrop is not working.
I tried removing my ID and re adding it in "users and groups", I turned off my firewall, I enabled both SMB and AFP file sharing and yet still I can't get my macbook to pair with either my iPhone 5 or iPhone 6. the radar just keep spinning and other devices won't show on my airdrop page.
Any help will be appreciated!

AirDrop between Macs and mobile devices is an announced feature of OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), which hasn't been released yet. It doesn't work in Mavericks.

Airdrop doesn't work at all - Yosemite/iOS 8

I have two MacBook Airs (2012 and 2013 - both support AirDrop) in front of my and one iPhone 5s. I'm trying to AirDrop a file from the iPhone to either of the MacBooks at this point. It doesn't work.
Here's what I see:
1) Both MacBooks have the AirDrop window open.
2) MacBook 1 sees MacBook 2 in the AirDrop window.
3) MacBook 2 DOES NOT see MacBook 1.
4) iPhone does not see either MacBook and is not seen either.
All devices are on the same WiFi network, have BT turned on. The iPhone and MacBook 2 are on the same Apple ID, while MacBook 1 is on my girlfriend's Apple ID.
Can anyone explain/help?

For anyone who might be interested: the problem actually solved itself. I tried it a couple more times (later) and then on the next day it magically started working by itself (I did not change a thing on any of the devices). Problem solved, although I don't know how.

Major advice needed with ATT / IPHONE / MICROCELL misleading/doesn't work

I'm sorry if this is a little off topic, but I need some advice.
I've been battling ATT since thanksgiving week. I moved into a house (checked the coverage map before moving, and saw I was in the clear)
I have no service here. NOTHING. I had to use a verizon phone to call them, since Verizon actually works. They tell me they're working on it... weeks go by. A month, and another month of calling them and wondering what they could actually be doing to rectify my problem. Well about 2 weeks ago, ATT's RF engineer was hanging around my house for a couple of days. He told me they didn't even notify him about my problem until days before he arrived! So they were lying to me the whole time about trying to fix my lack of service. I kept asking them, "Can't you lend me a microcell until you fix what's wrong here?" They just said "No, you have to buy that and pay for it's service."
So it's now Feb 25th, and it's day II with my microcell. It shows 5 bars, but most of my calls are dropped, or I'm talking to someone that can't hear me. I emailed them last night asking if I could just be let go from this contract so I can move on and get back to business. They will waive my fee if I give them my Iphone 4 which I've owned for 11 months. Doesn't this seem a little strange??
I mentioned how I've lost many clients and a lot of money due to the fact that they think I'm ducking their calls because I don't receive them unless I drive 2 miles from where I live.
Again, today I talked with the service rep and they will not budge. Is there something in the contract that would help me out? Even the RF engineer/tech told me there is nothing they can do (other than putting up more towers!)
So I'm stuck in this nightmare with a phone that doesn't work, and paying for it. I still have a year on my contract and I just want out. The iphone was fun and all but I'm done with att and their ransom fees.
Can someone help me?
Again...sorry if this isn't specifically an apple related post, but I don't know of another reputable place to ask advice

As you know, this is a user-ro-user iPhone tech support site. Neither Apple or AT&T participate here. The only way you can resolve your reception and service issues is through AT&T - no one here could possibly fix this. AT&T does provide free MicroCell service in some known poor coverage areas.
You can try some basic troubleshooting steps as described in the User Guide - Restart, Reset, Restore - but I doubt there is a problem in the phone itself.
IF you're not getting anywhere with AT&T, file a complaint with the FCC. Did the AT&T coverage map showed coverage in your area before you purchased the phone? You might want to get a lawyer to help.

IPhone 4S microphone doesn's work! Please Help!

My IPhone 4S is about a year and a half old and I got it last february. Now my microphone is not only not working in calls, but it doesn't work in apps either. It only works some of the time in my camera when i'm taking videos and in speaker phone during calls. I don't know what's wrong with it but I guess I'm not the only person with this issue. Also apparently Apple does absolutely nothing about it and just tell you to buy a new one. It seems like all IPhone 4(S) users have this problem eventually. Recently I took my phone off of insurance because of the cost before realizing that it doesn't work properly. Does anyone have suggestions or ways to fix this issue? I definitely cannot afford a new phone right now and i will definitely not be looking into another IPhone when i get an upgrade. Also, does anyone with the 5 have these problems after this long? Apple needs to fix this or they will lose me and possibly many more as a customer.

Nonsense.

Do the basic troubleshooting steps. If they don't work, there is a hardware problem.

definitely cannot afford a new phone right now and i will definitely not be looking into another IPhone when i get an upgrade.
So, you think that you're entitled to an extended warranty without paying because of your financial limitations or idle threats? Tell it to your parents.
