AirDrop not working

Question

AirDrop not working

I have an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.4.1.(12H321) and a Mac Pro with Yosemite 10.10.5. No way to see one each other. Neither via AirDrop nor via Bluetooth. The AirDrop Finder Panel is empty despite any action on activating AirDrop (Everyone, Contacts only). When I try to pair via Bluetooth, it seems working for a few second, but then it goes disconnected and no way to repair it.

Bluetooth is perfectly working for both with (mouse) and printer.

MacPro Bluetooth is by far working better with a Nokia Windows phone with which, once easily paired, I can exchange any kind of files.

Incredibly I can't do it with iPhone! This is extremely irritating! What can I do? (Please avoid trivial suggestions like activate Bluetooth or AirDrop in the Finder or set to Everyone the permissions. I've already tried everything a normal good sense suggests).

Many thanks in advance.

I've got exactly the same issue with my Iphone 6 with 8.4.1. just with an MBP Retina Early 2015 also in Yosemite 10.10.5.

After a while (~5-10 minutes) i see the macbook in the airdrop"area" in the iphone but not vice versa. i've managed to send a picture to the computer, but randomly. (several tries, 2 times it worked. ???).

From the Macbook to the Iphone it didn't work at all.

(And yes, i tried everything like Diego, have used Airdrop now for some time before with another Macbook and everything was fine.)

Also many thanks,

Chris
