Q: Can't share files via Airdrop between Mac and iPhone

Hi!

I've got a Macbook Pro running El Capitan 10.11.1, and suddenly begin to have trouble sharing files via Airdrop with my iPhone 5s, running iOS 9.1.

Any help?

Thanks a lot!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

A:

Neither my Mac or my iPhone could find each other. But then I turned off/on Bluetooth on my Mac and iPhone, and suddenly both could find the other again.

It seemed to work, but I think there's more going on here...

Same problem, iPhone can't find iMac. A late 2015 and an iPhone 6S, you can't get newer software. This o bad.
