How to AirDrop from my iPhone5 to my iMac?

Although AirDrop is listed in my iMac's sidebar, when I tap Airdrop on my iPhone5 to send a sound file to my iMac which is inches away, nothing happens. Did I miss a step? Is my AirDrop activated the way it should?

Thanks a lot,

Maybe you meant to say, "Pharisee?" 😁

I have the same annoying problem. Would like to have Airdrop beetwen iPhone 5s and MacBook. To sync to get a voice memo is ridiculous and voice memos are too big to send them via email — server refuses it. But I've managed to send them through iMessage in a message to myself. Then I can save the attached file in the MacBook. Voilà!
