Can't connect via airdrop from iMac to MacBook Air. iMac running High Sierra, Air has Sierra. They sit on the same desk and have bluetooth and wifi on. Both show the other machine in the Bluetooth window but as "Not Connected".
Any ideas?
MacBook Air 11", macOS 10.12

If and when you do upgrade your Mac with a new one it will be running Catalina or newer and 32 bit apps will not work. To find out which of your apps will have to be updated or replace download and run GO64. You'll be surprised at how many 32 bit apps you have. I certainly was.
Aah, My 27" iMac is a mid 2011. Though still running smoothly after nine years of daily use, (impressive, IMO) I see it doesn't meet the 2012+ requirements to share files via AirDrop. Guess I'll have to use third party WeTransfer. :-(
I also have a 2011 27" iMac which is a great computer but it's way past it's prime. I plan on replacing mine in a few months, this may be something you may also want to consider as our computers shortly will be 3 generations of Mac OS out of date and running pretty old apps. Not to mention the hardware is getting pretty old and could fail with no replacement parts available.
If you do intend to replace it, ensure all of your apps that you want to use or keep on the new computer are upgrading (or replaced) by 64bit apps as Catalina (the current version of Mac OS) will only support 64 bit apps. This means your old legacy apps must be upgraded if you want to continue using them!
