Why doesn't my MacBook show up in AirDrop on my iPhone 5S?

So I downloaded Yosemite yesterday. I was very excited to be able to AirDrop between my MacBook & my iPhone 5S, but it doesn't seem to be working properly. My iPhone shows up in AirDrop on my Mac, but my Mac doesn't show up on my iPhone. I can send files from my Mac  to my iPhone, but not vice versa. Is there some kind of bug in the software? Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just not possible? It's really bugging me and any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I have the exact same situation. Downloaded Yosemite yesterday to my Macbook Pro Retina. Airdrop works from the Macbook Pro to my iPhone 5S, but not from the iPhone to the Mac. I tried all the troubleshooting to no avail. I hope they fix this ASAP.

    it's also likely that you used two different apple IDs to purchase apps. if that's the case then you simply have to log out of your app store, and log into the other account to update the apps.
    from experience it's not possible to syncronise purchased content from two different accounts. but you can always give Apple a call.

  • Why doesn't Edge Animate show up in my 30 day free Creative Cloud membership apps download page?

    Why doesn't Edge Animate show up in my 30 day free Creative Cloud membership apps download page? I subscribed to the 30 day free Creative Cloud membership just yesterday.
    Please help.

    Could it be that you are running Windows XP?  I believe there is some automatic detection of the operating system you are running, and if it is not supported by the application, it does not show up on the download page.

  • Why doesn't my macbook support ny camera Sony DSC-WX300 as it used to?

    why doesn't my macbook support ny camera Sony DSC-WX300 as it used to? I can't download any of my pictures or videos

    Were you importing them into Aperture or IPHOTO - or were you using Sony Software?
    I have A Kodak Easy Share - when I purchased a new mac - did not install the Kodak software - just switched to using IPHOTO to do the import.
    -- Reason I stopped using the software - it was easier to export all of the photos I chose to keep out of Iphoto onto desktop for Photoshop editing and filing.

  • HT4623 Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download?

    Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download? 5.1.1 is what I have now.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes?

    Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes? I'm on iTunes 11.1.2.31 using an iPad mini on the latest IOS 7.0.3. Could it be that I'm on a new computer and have some settings messed up? See enclosed screenshot. It can obviously detect the number of apps (44), but why aren't they listed in the apps section?

  • Why doesn't apple tv show song info while using pandora with AirPlay?

    Why doesn't apple tv show song info while using pandora with AirPlay?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I'm not really familiar with Pandora but I assume it's an audio app and the app places text on screen to inform you of the current track playing.
    As an audio app, it seems to make sense it will stream audio over AirPlay, which doesn't include text of course. For that matter the text is also unlikely to be a video stream either, just to cover the possibility you ask why can't they stream it over AirPlay as video.

  • Why doesn't my Macbook pro come with iPhoto or iMovie? I've already tried

    Why doesn't my Macbook pro come with iPhoto or iMovie? I have everything updated to the fullest capacity. Still..nothing..Help me!

    If you erase the MacBook Pro and made a clean install, see this document:  OS X: About OS X Recovery  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X
    If your computer came with OS X Lion or later and you erase your hard disk and install OS X, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
    After installation, start (up) from OS X.
    Choose App Store from the Apple menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted.
    Click Purchases.
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.

  • Why doesn't my MacBook finish connecting to the ISP? It is very slow to load graphics if it does connect.

    Why doesn't my MacBook finish connecting to the ISP? It is very slow to load graphics if it does connect. This happens with ethernet or wifi.

    Timothy ..
    Contanct your ISP for support but keep in mind, if your Mac is running v10.5.8 as your profile suggests, that is a very outdated OS X and you may have issues loading graphics at this point.
    If you are using Safari, empty the Safari cache then quit and relaunch Safari and try loading an image.
    And make sure there's enough free space on the disk to load images.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
    That will open the Get Info panel.
    Check Capacity and Available. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
