Hi ramshackleacres,


Please go to the Apple Menu (top left) --> About This Mac, and let us know the Mac year and current macOS version.


Also, read: Use AirDrop on your Mac - Apple Support and How to use AirDrop on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support, also making sure AirDrop is turned on for the iOS/iPadOS device.


Cheers,


Jack
