Q: I have a older Mac running OS10.10.2 and wanted to use AirDrop from iPad and can't find it on MAC.  I have looked in finder and nothing.

System Requirements

To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
