No matter what I do I cant get air drop to work

I have everything on my new (2014 Aug )Mac book pro OX Yosemite 10.10.1
iPhone 5S V 8.1.2, working exactly as outlined on many forums. I mean its perfect both systems, its all ON and dialed. Worse Airdrop was working and I NEED it bad now, but no matter how many times I reboot the iphone or the computer I cant get it back.
Also the microphone i the text messages is gone but oddly its appearing only in some of my text contacts and then can disappear again, soooooo frustrating!!!

Hey Debbie549,
I would run through the steps in the following article, specifically the "Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" section:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

No matter what I do I cant get into my ipod

I forgot my password and to many attempts so now I am locked for 23 million mins. I have tried to do a recovery but it doesnt work what is my next step. Pat Gardner

Hey baggerus,
Thanks for the question. Can you provide additional details as to why recovery mode is not working for you? Alternatively, you can use iCloud and Find my iPhone to erase your device:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Why can't I get air drop to work?

Im trying to Air Drop a photo from my mac book pro running 10.9.1 to my iPhone 5 rinning iOS7 and I can't geting either device to show up on Air Drop. Both devices are allowing to be visable by everyone and im stumped. Any ideas?

You will have to wait for the next OS to come out, compatibility introduced at the WWDC14

Cant Get The Remote to Work

no matter what i do i cannot get my remote to work. i've done everything apple tells me to do but it doesn't work. i held menu and the next button for 5 seconds and it still doesnt work. ive even tried to hold menu and play/pause. nothing works.

Do you have access to another Mac with Front Row, or another Apple Remote? This will allow you to ascertain whether it's the remote, or the machine which has the issue.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Even from Apple? > Java for OS X Lion Update 1
Restart your Mac before trying to download the file.
Do you have anti virus software installed or a program like LIttle Snitch?
If you are using Safari to download files, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
If that doesn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
If you still can't download the Java file, go to ~ / Library / Caches / com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash and restart your Mac. Try downloading that file again.
If it still won't download without that dialog, go to ~/Library/Safari. Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Try again.

Junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. any way help?

junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. why cant i just enter my apple id and password. or is there a way to change whatever name and password are on the new one from another mac so i can login. anything helps...thanks

Just open System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane with your root password.
Set the New Account to be an Administrator and fill in the rest of the data and then click "Create User".
I would suggest using this user to be YOU with admin capabilities. I wouldn't use the root user - too much damage could occur if you're not sure what you're doing. If you have files, etc., that you want to move to this account, simply but them in the Shared folder - or if you 'rescued' some old files and the like from your 'trashed' MBP, you can put them in your NEW admin account folders.
Hope I've explained myself well - call back with any questions!

It does not matter what I do, I cannot get Java security settings to allow an applet to run.

I have gone to just about every extreme possible, and no matter what I do, I cannot get Java to allow an applet to run. I have been trying to do a J-Track on some satellites on the NASA/JPL website, and no matter what I do, and from the totally useless "help" sites here in the Firefox "help" pages, I cannot get the &^%$#@ applet to run.

Did you try to clear the Java cache?

I certainly agree. You can comment to Apple on the matter via their feedback page, if you wish:

Perhaps if enough of us request it, they'll put that feature back.

I am trying to use the font Caviar Dreams on my new web site but i cant get it right,
Can anyone tell me what is wrong.
And also i would like some help with IE9, it seems the header is displaying in blue instead of black on IE9 and 10.
My web site adrees is marcoalexwebdesign.site11.com .

I already fixed the issue, it seems trhat in dreamweaver the fonts ttf , otf, etc must be in a folder named webfonts, and then dreamweaver connects the fonts stylesheet to the main stylesheeet with @inport.I had to unisntall the fonts from my windows and download them again and add tehm with dreamweaver add web fonts feature.
Thanks ayway.
