Q: How to make AirDrop work with a Mac to an iPhone
I have seen Airdrop work from one iPhone to another iPhone, but since the new OS X Yosemite has Airdrop
under File How do I make it work.
I have my iPhone and the MacBook Pro next to each other and I don´t see either one in neither one of the two
things
Thank you for your response
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion

See the System Requirements quoted below from Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
- your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
- your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
- your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
- Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
