    Hello canadyk,

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    For more information, take a look at:

    • Make sure Wi-Fi is turned on at both computers. Although you don't have to connect to a specific network, Wi-Fi needs to be turned on to transmit and receive files wirelessly.
    • Make sure that the recipient has selected AirDrop in the Finder. If you don't see this option in the Finder, refer to the Additional Information section of this article to make sure the computer is compatible with AirDrop.
    • Try moving the computers closer to each other. AirDrop is designed to work within a range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters). If you need to send a file to someone further away, consider using File Sharing, iCloud or email instead.

     

    Have a nice day,

    Mario
