After upgrading to the new iOS 7 on my iPhone 5, Air Drop is not working. Others can Air Drop items to me, but I can't Air Drop items to them.
What is your airdrop setting? Also do you see people near you under airdrop?
It's set to Contacts Only and no people appear under airdrop. I'm sitting right next to my friend and I come up on his phone and he can airdrop to me, but he doesn't come up on my phone even though his settings are like mine.
Mine doesn' work either. I can send files to my wife's iPhone 5 but when she sends to my iPhone5 I get the accept message, press accept and her phone and her phone says it is sending then I get "Air Drop Cancelled". This is on my home wi-fi which we are both connected to. The blue tooth discovery part works but I can't seem to recieve over wi-fi.
Did anyone resolve this question? I cannot get Air Drop on my iPhone 5 to recognize Air Drop on my MacBook Pro. Is in NOT supposed to connect with any Air Drop, just iPhones?? Must I continue to share with my computer by emailing myself files? or connecting via USB to iTunes? Please help! ( I hate the OS 7 look...guess they wanted to "attract" all those Windows phone idiots with the flat icons and pale unimpressing colors.
Having same issue my husband can air drop to me with IPhone 5 new software. I have the iPhone 5S and I can't do anything wi fi and Bluetooth turned on. And settings is contacts only
Fixed my problem it will only work when the iPhone is in a unlocked mode
My problem is also fixed now. As imessage and FaceTime hadn't activated yet AirDrop wasn't working. Now that imessage and FaceTime are activated, it is now working.
Do you have to open Facetime everytime you want to do an airdrop >
My airdrop isn't working either and I have it turned on for everyone!
Airdrop is not working for me either and I have latest version of IOS and Mountain Lion. I tried opening Facetime and that didn't help. Imessage is also on and that doesn't help. Any other possible fixes?
Same issue here. I've tried restoring my phone, checking all of the settings. Nothing. My wife's phone sees me, but I can't see her. I have no idea why. I'm guessing it is something in the way I am in her address book, but not sure what is missing so that she can see me when Contacts Only is selected. She sees me with Everyone selected, but it should work both ways.
I found out that each person has to have the others iCloud email address in there Contacts, if you have AirDrop set to contacts only. Once you have each other's iCloud address then it works just fine
No luck here doing that. Are you using icloud.com addresses or just an icloud account?
just an icloud account. me.com addresses actually
Hey Fawn, I read this weekend that you cannot Air Drop between a Mac computer and an iOS device. Not sure why, but it's not an option.
Fixed my wife and I Airdrop Contact Sharing problem. Assuming all your settings are correct, shutdown your device and reboot. Airdrop contact sharing started working correctly after that.
Does anyone's Air Drop not work after upgrading to iOS 7 on iPhone 5?
