Airdrop

I have an Imac (mid 2011) that has airdrop showing, however, on purchasing a new Imac I am not able to airdrop between them? The new one has picked up phone and ipad no problem but I can't get it to work on the old one. I have seen somewhere that I should be able to do this can anyone throw any light on this please? I have done the usual turn off wifi and blue tooth, restarted mac etc, any help 'greatly' appreciated

Use AirDrop on your Mac - Apple Support

Make sure that your devices meet these requirements:

  • Both devices are within 30 feet (9 meters) of each other and have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.
  • Each Mac was introduced in 2012 or later (excluding the 2012 Mac Pro) and is using OS X Yosemite or later. To find out, choose Apple menu  > About This Mac.
