Hi,
Airdrop works fine between my iMac 24' (early 2009) and MBP 1' (late 2009), both running OS X Yosemite.
But i can't make it work with the iPad Air (8.0.2).... both machine can't see the iPad, the iPad doesn't see the OS X machines....
wasn't it suppose to become available with Yosemite ind iOS8 ?
Thanks for you reply...

Hi,
yes bluetooth is on, i can share pictures between my iPad and my wife's iPhone.
but still i can't see my iPad or her phone in any of the Finder Airdrop pages in both iMac and MBP.....
so OSX to OSX no problem,
iOS to iOS no problem,
but not OS X to iOS or viceversa.
all machine in the same home network environment.
It's very strange.
i also noticed that on the OS X, there is no option to set the share status of Airdrop to "contacts" or "all"
how to do that?
Please note that airdrop between mac and iOS device would only work if your mac is " 2012 or later model "

Hi Mat,
thanks for your reply.
I missed that piece of info about the 2012 model for exchange between platforms.
BTW, from the link you posted, it's said that the MBP has to be late 2008 or later, and the iMac early 2009 or later.
My machines are satisfying those requirements, but now also between OS X is not working anymore, and that's very strange, as I was using airdrop between MBP and iMac before with Mavericks.
after the update to Yosemite on both machines it was working, (as I was looking to connect my iPad I clearly got the connection between MBP and iMac)
But from yesterday also between OS X is not anymore working,...... It's very strange.
