Q: Can't connect iPhone and Macbook Pro with AirDrop and bluetooth
Hello. I've recently bought an iPhone 6S and I want to use Airdrop, but I can't find my iPhone on Mac and my Mac on iPhone. When I click on bluetooth and click connect, it won't connect and on my iPhone it says that I should check if my Mac is within reach. And I can't connect with bluetooth from my mac to iphone too, it says that that I should check if it's permitted to connect to the net. I am on the same wifi and I have bluetooth turned on..
Can someone help me?
Thanks
(Sorry for bad english)
iPhone 6s, iOS 9.2

I have the same Mac, same OS, and a 6S Plus and can AirDrop just fine. Not sure what to suggest, although if both are on the same Wi-Fi maybe try "forgetting" the Wi-Fi on one of the devices then try again. Leave Wi-Fi enabled of course, but create a condition where both devices are not on the same network -- I never proved this to help, but in the past when I've had AirDrop problems it seemed to help if the two devices connect via an ad-hoc Wi-Fi arrangement.
