Q: The Airdrop on my Mac isn't picking up any other devices.
I have a newer Mac desktop and when I click on airdrop it doesn't see my iPhone or iPad any suggestions?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

I have solved my AirDrop issue after way too many read throughs of Apple Support posts... These were the MOST helpful ones that I have found, figured I'd share:
FIX #1: Turn on Bluetooth on your iOS (Settings → Bluetooth) and Mac (System Preferences → Bluetooth → Turn Bluetooth On).
FIX #2: If you have a firewall enabled on your Mac, go to System Preferences → General → Security & Privacy → Firewall → Firewall Options and ensure that "Block all incoming connections" is not checked.
FIX #3: Double Check Restrictions on your iOS: Go to Settings → General → Restrictions and make sure AirDrop is switched ON.
"Fix #3" was my issue, I had restrictions turned on my iPhone 5S, and had not enabled AirDrop. Hope this Helps Everyone!
