My Air Drop on Mac flickers in and out of view on my iphone Just recently as I have been trying to share from my phone to my mac, the iphone will only recognize the mac for like a half second at a time. I can see my coworkers mac just fine, so I believe it is an issue with my mac. Any ideas how to reset it or fix it?
