Why doesn't air drop work between osx and iOS?

Air drop doesn't work between my MacBook and my ipad.

It is not designed to work that way. AirDrop in iOS only works with other iOS devices, not Macs.
Note: AirDrop for iOS supports only iOS 7 devices. You cannot use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.

  • Why wont my Air Drop work?

    I got this ipad air in february, and I love it. the only problem I seem to be having is my air drop will not work, my bf has the air as well and he can airdrop me all sorts of stuff when we are close to each other. However, when I select a picture, and choose to airdrop it.. nothing happens. No picture pops up (I can see my face on my bf ipad when he chooses me to air drop), both my bluetooth and wireless are on but yet it still refuses to let my use my air drop. Any ideas at all what could be happenining or am I doing something wrong?

    by the way here is what should execute as soon as it is
    launched:
    public function DocClass (){
    stage.displayState =
    StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
    VideoGlobals.FLVS =
    File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("AIR_FLV").getDirectoryListing();
    VideoGlobals.PLAY_LISTS =
    File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("AIR_PLAYLISTS").getDirectoryListing();
    VideoThumbnails.addThumbs();
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;
    addMainMenu();
    private function addMainMenu () {
    mainMenu = new MainMenu();
    addChild(mainMenu);
    mainMenu.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, openSelectEdit);
    DocClass is my document class constructor function and
    MainMenu contains graphical content that you can see once it is
    added to the stage, so it is clearly not getting added.
    THANKS!

  • Why doesn't visual voicemail work after upgrading to ios 7?

    After upgrading to iOS 7, visual voicemail on my iPhone 5 (Verizon) is no longer available. When I select voicemail, instead of showing the list of saved and new voicemail messages, it dials the voicemail number and I have to enter my password to retreive messages. I tried resetting my phone, re-entering my voicemail password, changing my voicemail password (both on the phone and on Verizon's website), leaving myself a voicemail message...nothing seems to work.

    I have the same issue with my iPhone 4 and german T-Mobile. After updating to iOS 7 my mailbox does not work for callers, just tells them I did not answer the call, and visual voicemail on my phone is not working and just calls the standard voicemail.
    I tried to set a new password for visual voicemail in the phone settings (as supposed to do in some forums), but this just hangs after entering the new pin twice.
    I changed the settings in the mailbox menu, so callers can record a message on my mailbox again, but visual voicemail still is not reactivated.

  • Why doesn't my accelerometer work since i got iOS 7?

    I cannot tilt my iPhone and have it respond anymore. Not even the calculator. This all started with my iOS 7 upgrade. Is there a setting, (which I cannot find) to enable this function?

    Hello Doug53
    Start with the article below to troubleshoot issues with your iPhone screen not rotating. Swipe up on your iPhone to bring up Control Center and look for the Screen Rotation Lock towards the right on the 5 button choices.

  • Why doesn't this update work?

    Why doesn't this update work? Can't I sum up two select count(*) in such a subquery?
    Thanks
    update sales T
    set T.field2 = ((select count(*)
    from sales t
    where t.field1 = trunc(sysdate)) + (select count((*)
    from sales t2
    where t2.field2 is null));
    I get
    ERROR at line 4:
    ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
    with the * under the +
    In other words I want to run
    update sales set field = ((select count(*) ..... ) + (select count(*) ..... ))

    My problem is to undestand why I got a syntax error about parenthesis.Because you cannot perform arithmatic operation with a value coming from a subquery in a SET clause of UPDATE
    SQL> update emp
      2  set sal=(select 1 from dual)+1;
    set sal=(select 1 from dual)+1

    Thanks again,
    Steve

    Nancy; THANK YOU!!  OK..it still does not work but I see where there are a lot of errors. I changed the head tags and it still does not work but I would assume I can go to the site/page you sent and it analyzes webpages for errors?  I will keep at it til I get it right or maybe redo the page but thank you very much for your time...I truly appreciate it.

  • Why doesn't my panaramic work on my lock screen

    Panoramic was only something apple had in the Betas and has not been seen on any device, even the 5S, since they released the full versions of iOS 7.

  • How is the XMP workflow supposed to work between CS6 and LR4.1

    Can somebody please enlighten me ?
    I have a raw file in Lightroom, xmp files turned on.
    I open the file as a smart object in Photoshop.
    Back in Lightroom I do some edits, and to be sure, I save the edits back to the XMP.
    Back in Photoshop, no matter what I try, my edits are not picked up. I tried opening the smart object etc...but ACR does not pick up the edits I just made in Lightroom (even when the XMP file is up to date).
    If I resubmit the edited image from Lightroom, my edits are picked up, but this can't be the way it's supposed to work, can it ? What good is a smart object if you need to resubmit it each time...
    Isn't the XMP workflow supposed to be seamless between adobe applications, picking up any edit, no matter where the edit is made (from acr to lightroom and vice versa) ?
    I'm probably missing something, but would appreciate some help.

    Taking a little distance and looking at it from that angle, I can understand why it works the way it does now.
    Still, I feel there are some missed opportunities here.
    Compared to working between indesign and photoshop, when I have an indesign layout and I later edit the placed photoshop document, Indesign gives me a warning that my version is changed and I can update it to reflect the latest state.
    A similar thing could be done here inside photoshop "update to latest Lightroom edits" or something similar which could be totally optional for the end user to use or not.
    My confusion was mostly caused by the XMP files, it stuck in my head that these were external files holding all knowledge and no matter which Adobe program you used, it would work with those same xmp files... but I understood wrong apparently.
    I still have a lot to learn, thanks for all the answers, it is very helpfull.

  • Why doesn't acrobat reader have reflow view in iOS as it has in android.

    Why doesn't acrobat reader have reflow view in iOS as it has in android.

    That's a good question. Besides some form enhancements, it is the #1 feature I'd like to see added. It was actually removed from the Android version a while back but was then restored. Someone on the mobile Reader team has mentioned that they will consider adding it to Reader for iOS if there is enough demand, so consider submitting a feature request. I think I'll take my own advice...

  • HT4623 Why doesn't my iPad recognize an update to iOS 7?  When I try to update, it says, "iOS 5.1.1   Your software is up to date."

    Why doesn't my iPad recognize an update to iOS 7?  When I try to update, it says, "iOS 5.1.1   Your software is up to date."

    Because you have a 1st generation iPad and iOS 5.1.1 is the last update for it.
    It will not get any further iOS updates beyond 5.1.1
    iOS 7 requires at least an iPad 2

  • HELP?!? - Website BeachBalls/Hangs Safari in OSX and iOS, loads fine on all other browsers.

    Site beachballs Safari in OSX and iOS, loads fine on all other browsers.
    The page loads in safari if javascript is disabled, so it would seem to be something javascript related that is causing the issue.
    Because it beachballs safari i can't even debug the issue in safari.
    This site was working in Safari before, I beleive this issue started with the latest Safari update, but don't hold me to that.
    I need help figuring out what the issue is so I can fix it for Safari users.
    Since it bricks safari i can't even get far enough to determine what the issue is or set debug points or gleen any helpful information from Safari about why this may be happening.
    I might be forced to hack out sections until i can eliminate/pinpoint the code, but being a magento site that is a very complex and daunting proposition.
    Please help!!! Please, please, pretty please. :-)
    Pointers? Tips? Ideas on how to track down the issue?
    site is: http://bumblebeetoys.com/
    (no flash or similar content in this page, this is a standard magento website.)
    Many many many thanks to anyone who can help resolve this issue or has any helpful pointers about tracking it down.
    Thanks,

    I ran your site with Firefox error console and got the attached, perhaps Safari can't handle these errors.  Activity monitor does show Safari in a hard cpu loop while trying to access the site.  'Sample Process' seems to point at a Java Script as the culprit.
