Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

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
