Seriously, is airdrop NOT compatible between mavericks and IOS7 ?!!! ***

I'm desperately trying to airdrop a photo from my ipad mini retina (released 1 month ago) to my mybookair running mavericks (released a couple of month ago)... and now I read the two are not compatible...
How can it be ?
Am I a stupid user ?
or
Is there a ridiculous great gap to fill immediately  (isn't there no engineer available at Apple's to fix this ?!!)
Seriously.

Apple removed my original reply, because the site I linked to as an example used the dreaded "J" word. So let's try this again.
I agree with OP. This is total nonsense. The technology obviously exists, we can work around it with iMessage anyway, but this is seamless integration between desktop and mobile? Really? If I had to guess, this is another DRM-related delay in functionality. Love Apple's UI, love the reliability, but if ease of use is really the priority, we can do better, can't we?
bolbolebo, if you configure iMessage to sync between your devices, you can send files between the two. Google it as a workaround. I used it to send a picture to my iPhone 5 about 10 minutes ago.
*Admin, this functionality is built in. It in no way fails to comply with Apple's standards of use. Please leave my post up this time. Thanks.

  • Spreadsheets not compatible between iPad and Mac

    I have created a spreadsheet on my Mac (10.6.5) and transferred it to my iPad (4.2.1).
    It is not possible anymore on my iPad to add a Diagram using an existing table. Besides that cells are locked with their format which cannot be changed: if it is for numbers no text can be entered.
    Is this a known issue?

  • What type of Fonts are compatible between Mac and PC?

    Hello all:
    I work in InDesign primarily from a Windows based PC. I occasionally do some work on a Mac as well. I have a mixture of font type I use (TTF, OpenType etc) on my PC. I know a lot of font types are not compatible between PC and Mac. My questions is, are OpenType fonts compatible with Mac?
    What suggestions would you give to people working on two platforms as to how to best manage their font library (short of buying two versions of the same fonts)?
    Thanks.

    OpenType and Windows TrueType fonts are usable on both Windows and MacOS X. Windows Type 1 fonts can be used with Adobe applications on both Windows and MacOX X (although on the Macintosh, the Windows Type 1 fonts must be put into the Creative Suite's private font directory).
    Macintosh Type 1 and TrueType fonts cannot be used on Windows systems under any condition.
    Going forward, for cross-platform compatibility, at Adobe we would strongly recommend exclusive use of OpenType fonts, thus avoiding the need for purchasing more than one version of any font.

  • CS5 not compatible with Mavericks 10.9.3?

    I just spent 2 grands with the new iMac Mavericks 10.9.3 and now someone told me all my CS5 apps are not compatible with it and I have to upgrade?  Seriously????

  • Does anyone know if there is a way to share files between Mavericks and Mac OS 9.1 operating system?

    Does anyone know if there is a way to share files between Mavericks and Mac OS 9.1 operating system? When I try to connect from my iMac I get a window that says "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported." Is there a work-around to this problem or is it just not possible? It would be largly appriciated for a solutin beings my business is a small town newspaper, and we have some important files on the older computer that need to be acessed daily.

    Actually to share files between OS 8-9 and OS X, all versions, is quite easy from what I read. Look here for some details.
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20003464-263.html
    And here.
    https://www.google.com/search?q=file+sharing+Mac+OS+9.x&oq=file+sharing+Mac+OS+9 .x&aqs=chrome..69i57.20706j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
    Or since both OS 9 and OS X can do SMB Windows sharing you could use that protocol to share files from one to the other.
    Doesn't really matter what OS you are using. Mac OS/OS X shar files with Windows computers of all types and versions of Windows so the same applies for the different versions of Mac OS/OS X.
    Each Operating System takes care of reading and writing files to there respective file formats of the hard drives so that does not have to be the same. They both just have to be able to do Ethernet with the same files sharing protocol.

  • Disk utility 12 not compatible with Mavericks

    I upgraded my late 2008 Mac Book Pro to Mavericks several months ago and just tried to open Disk Utility and get a message that the version I have is not compatible with Mavericks.  Mine is Disk Utility 12, is there an upgrade available?  I looked on the Apple site and couldn't find one.  Thanks!

    Well, I'm not on my Mavericks machine at the moment, but my Mountain Lion machine has Disk Utility 13, so Mav must have at least that or higher.
    Since Disk Utility is not a stand alone application, but an integral part of the OS, I'd suggest you use your recovery partition - hit Command + R keys during restart/boot up and choose to reinstall the OS. That should bring everything up to date.

  • Epson Stylus Photo PX710W is not compatible with Mavericks

    I still cannot scan with my Epson Stylus Photo PX710W. My scan driver (scan.app version 3.7.1) is not compatible with Mavericks. Who can help me?
    Epson does not react to my question when the correct driver will be available.
    Epson indicate to their FAQ’s, but this is will not help since the ICA scan only works when my printer/scanner is connected to my Mac via USB. I bought this EPSON printer/scanner because it was wireless. Now after just 3 years I miss this important option.
    I see a lot of discussion about Epson scan drivers but little help from Epson
    Who can lead me to an appropriate scan driver for my Epson device?

    I disagree a bit because my Epson printer/scanner worked very well for over 3 years. It worked under Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion. But since I installed Mavericks my scanner doesn't work anymore. It's just a case that Epson is very slow in upgrading the drivers within an appropriate time on the one hand and not giving any foresight how long it takes to repair drivers on the other hand. Their website is inadequate and gives me absolute no information at all. I can understand their vision when it comes to printer/scanners which are very old i.e 10 years and mor. But not for relatively new printer/scanners.
    So, if anybody can help i'll be very greatefull.

    I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.
