Airdrop not working in El Capitan

MacBook Pro 2009 working fine on El Capitan, except AirDrop. The other MacBook Pro at home, not the Phone 6S, not the iPad 2 don’t show up on it and also they can’t see this one.

I have already turned off Bluetooth and deleted ”com.apple.Bluetooth.plist” in Library and then turned on Bluetooth.

A pre-2012 Mac won't see iOS devices in AirDrop, and will only see other Macs if they support and are set to use the older AirDrop protocol.
