iOS9 Airdrop to Mac not working

I've tried too but doesn't work for me

Air Drop is not working for devices under 9.X.X on iPhones and Mac under Yosemite or Above ...

Anything running OS X or software prior those would have a working Air Drop

the contact card rename as ''me'' is not solving anything , Air drop was working fine with my contact without being rename or modified , there are issues not resolved yet with the latest firmwares . softwares that's all , for now it's a dead end until Apple is taking care of this .

I've been having the same problem! I can't find my iPhone on my mac ever since i upgraded to iOS 9 and os x capitan! Neither can I send or receive files from other mac books via airdrop. It immediately says that I rejected the file even if no request has been received on my end.

Help!

I have the same problem between my MBA and iPhone6+/iPad. My iphone and ipad can detect and connect to each other but not in my mac. My iphone/ipad is invisible in my mac and vise versa.

Has it worked previously?

hello apple..im also facing this prolem with my macbook pro el capiton and iOS9 😢

any one fixed this issue

Exact the same problem here. It worked fine until last week. Then we updated our MacBook Pro Retina machines and our iOS devices. As a result, the Mac machines do not "see" the iPhones (5s, 6) and iPads. This is a nightmare for us...

Hello all,

So I'm running iOS 8.4 on an iPhone 5s and OS X El Capitan on a MacBook Pro 15' late 2013 and AirDrop won't work since the update!!!

Before it was working... sometimes... when it wanted. Now nothing.

As it was said it's very annoying. Apple highlights a feature that doesn't work... Since the update I didn't change any parameter in my laptop. Same thing with a friend but running iOS 9 on an iPhone 6+.

Guys... really? You want your customers to be satisfied? I'm not. For some time, I'm not anymore. And I'm not the only one. That's not the only issue I've encountered but that one really annoys me.

Regards

I'M not satisfied at all..

And the most interesting think, as you said that before it was working Sometimes when it wanted !! It annoying me, because to send some file from max to iphone I was waiting a lot, and I turn off/on my airdro to make it work.

AirDrop was glitch since it was released but now it doesn't work at all.

850€ for iPhone

2249€ For MBP

And glitched software

Poor Apple

Same problem i here ,, iPhone 5s 9.0.2 IOS and MBP El-capitan airdrop stopped working perfectly like than before ,, we need Urgent Update for this case

Bravo Apple !!

yes,you are right. Apple products are too expensive to have such stupid problems as not function airdrop . As we know the airdrop is only one direct connection between mac computers and iPhones. It's a shame if it's not function. I have the same problems with airdrop after update iPhone to fw 9.

I decided not to wait for repair of firmware and so I have installed instashare software which is better than airdrop. Now I can communicate not only with matchbooks but android phones ,win pc as well. On the other side this software is not charge of free. I think I can't hardly use airdrop any more.

Same problem here ! I phone 6 iOS 9.02 to Macbook pro 2015 El Capitan Airdrop not working anymore in anyways.
Just before iOS 9.0 everything was perfectly working.

Airdrop is very important, hoping apple will provide in future the solution about that.

I have the same issue. My iPhone 5S AirDrops to other iOS devices, but not to my MacBook Pro. They should get this fixed ASAP, as it is very annoying.

I found (coincidentally) a way to send pictures via aidrop from the Mac to the iphone, even with this problem...

When you are trying to go to the 'airdrop' field directly from a picture on your iphone (which isn't working, as the mac isn't shown), instead go to the 'airplay' field below - then the iphone will try to look for airplay devices, and in that instant, the iphone pops up in the airdrop-window on your mac. (airdrop has to be activated first though)

Then you can send pictures etc. to your iphone. Unfortunately not the other way round....

But I thought it might help someone 🙂

Hello Yodaprincess

Thank you for your tip

I don't know how you managed to pull this off but i couldn't

There is no confusion on my phone between Airdrop and Airplay , the Airdrop icon is on top and the Airplay below , none can be swapped or access thru the other , tapping the Airplay is bringing Airplay devices ( Apple tv ...) nothing else , the mac on Airdrop always active and visible from Everyone is not popping up anything ..

Are sure you are running EL CAPITAN on one device and IOS 9.0.+ on the other device ???

This is a well known reported bug issue by anyone running those Sw on the apple devices .
