Air Drop on Mac Book Pro

I get the following - “domain-AirDrop” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found - when attempting to air drop photos from my phone to my laptop (MacOS Mojave 10.14.6) I'm not computer savvy and can't seem to fix the problem even though I've followed some online suggestions.

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.14

Unable to Airdrop edited .NEF files from Photos After upgrading to Ventura 13.2 on my Mac Mini I'm suddenly unable to Airdrop an edited .NEF photo. The unedited .NEF photos work fine, just as before. I also don't have any problems with edited .HEIC or .JPG photos. After selecting the edited photo and clicking on Share>Airdrop the Airdrop window just never opens. BTW: .NEF photos are imported from my Nikon DSLR. The issue doesn't happen when Airdropping an edited photo from my iPad running iOS 16.2 back to my Mac Mini.

iPhoto Airdrop to iPhoto with All Photos Data for multiple photos not working With iPhoto (Photos) Mac Monterey open on MacBook Pro and iPad (16.6) Photos open - both with WiFi and Bluetooth on... When one photo or video is selected and then the Share icon used, along with the next "Options" set to include "All Photos Data," after doing AirDrop to the MacBook Pro and clicking "Accept," there is the option to "Open in Photos." And it does, and yes includes photo data, etc. But only if just one photo or video is selected. Same steps taken after selecting two (or more) photos or videos on the iPad, and though "Open in Photos" is available after Accepting on the Mac, no photos get automatically imported to Photos. Note that even if it doesn't have focus, the Photos program on the Mac does step to the front, focus-wise. (Focus meaning maybe a Finder window was open in front of Photos, and upon choosing the "Open in Photos" after Accept, Photos is somehow summoned and takes its place as the active software on the screen.) But none of the multiple photos show up at all. And they do not end up in Downloads or anywhere. (And iCloud is not in play at all.) Anybody know why this (AirDrop of multiple photos/videos to Photos on a different device) seems to be offered, but doesn't work? Thanks for any insights.
