Can't find AirDrop on the sidebar in Finder

I've recently downloaded the OS X Yosemite on my iMac, but when I checked for AirDrop in Finder days later, it doesn't seem to be there. WiFi and Bluetooth are working fine. What should I do?


Would appreciate any help. Thanks!

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), null

AirDrop is not supported on your system.


AirDrop between two Mac computers is supported by the following Mac models:

  • MacBook Pro (late 2008 or later)*
  • MacBook Air (late 2010 or later)
  • MacBook (late 2008 or later)*
  • Mac (early 2009 or later)
  • Mac mini (mid 2010 or later)
  • Mac Pro (early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or mid 2010 or later)


* The MacBook Pro (17-inch, late 2008) and the white MacBook (late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
