My iPhone recognizes my MAC but won't allow it to connect so I can airdrop files.
MacBook Pro
Check the settings on both devices and this info for AirDrop on the iPhone. How to use AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Have you checked and verified all settings on both devices? Are you set for Contacts Only? You also need to make sure that devices are unlocked to be seen as well.
You cannot pair the Mac and the iPhone. All you have to do is have Bluetooth on for AirDrop to work. If you still cannot get it to work, I suggest that you use the Get Support link at the top of the page, or if you have an Apple Store close by, make a Genius Bar appointment to have Apple examine the devices. They will explain your options.
Bluetooth is on both devices. Contacts is Everyone. Both devices are unlocked. Firewall is off. My iPhone 13 will find my MacBook Pro but when I try to pair it says it is unsupported. I had paired it successfully less than a week ago and expected that it would remain in "My Devices" so I could connect. Now it's not even seeing it.
My Mac is recognizing my iPhone in AirDrop but my phone isn't seeing my Mac at all. It did once and not after that. Firewall is off.
