Oct 19, 2014 6:33 PM in response to leis0509by MacLover12345,Unfortunately, only 2012 Macs or newer can use Handoff and Continuity. I, having a 2011 Macbook Air myself, was quite saddened by this. Oh well. Here's the compatibility sheet for OS X Yosemite: Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity

Click on > About This Mac > System Report...
Under Hardware, click Bluetooth and check the "Handoff Supported" line

Oct 21, 2014 2:05 AM in response to MacLover12345by _chalkie_,I'm particularly disappointed this feature isn't working, as I'm sure initial reports said that Bluetooth 4.0 and 0x6 LMP were the requirements, both of which are present in the mid-2011 machines, like my MBA. I'm also having problems with the Bluetooth in my car having upgraded to iPhone 6 & iOS 8, but I'm hoping the 8.1 update will fix that

Nov 6, 2014 9:56 PM in response to MacLover12345by KaotiKme,don't be sad my friend!!!
there is a tool developed by a cool cat which enables the continuity feature in until now unsupported models.
already installed and tested on my Air Mid 2011 !!!
works like a charm along with my 5s
easy to use app, there is also a very complicated script, but i like the app.
So wipe away your tears
