Q: Can send from Mac to iPad/iPhone via Airdrop but not the other way.

Hi,

 

I can send from Mac to iPad/iPhone via Airdrop but not the other way. Help!

 

I've run through Security and Privacy settings and nothing seems to be blocking Airdrop. I've tried to change the setting to EVERYONE but iPad/iPhone can't see my Mac.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

    I saw that problem and what resolved it for me was I have two WiFi networks setup, one on 2.4GHz and one on 5GHz. My iPhone was on one and the Mac was on the other. If you have both enabled in your WiFi Router, but they have the same names, you may not be able to determine which is which.
