Perform a "reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.

Then test to see if it solved the problem.

AirDrop is available to most IOS 7 devices, including the air.

See Apple info

Thank you.

The original support article - which started this thread, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5887 states that it was last updated Feb 19th, 2014.

The iPad Air was Released, November 1, 2013.

This document states that to share via AirDrop you need iOS 7 and a variety of devices. The Air is not listed among them. Additionally, about as many iOS 7.x devcies support AirDrop as don't.

For the record the Air does support AirDrop.
