Q: Can a macbook pro using iOS 7 use airdrop with an iPad mini using iOS 7?
I have both, a Macbook Pro that has Maverick installed and the new iPad mini with retina display. I'm trying to use airdrop, but I'm having difficulty with the iPad. Both the Wifi and bluetooth are turned on for both devices. Can someone help me?
Thanks

You cannot use AirDrop between a computer and an iDevice. While they are called the same they are different sharing services.
From the Using Airdrop page:
