iMac can't see iPhone since updating to iOS 9

Since I updated my iPhone 6 to iOS9, my iMac does not see it when I try to Airdrop. Has anyone else experienced this?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.0.1

Hey feathers7,


I know you said that this article did not solve the problem, there is one section that that I want to make sure you were able to review. Also make sure to have WiFi and Bluetooth enabled on the iOS device.

If you don't see the recipient in the AirDrop window or sheet:

  • Make sure that both devices have AirDrop turned on and are within 30 feet (9 meters) of each other.
  • If you're sending to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    • Your Mac needs to be a 2012 or newer model with OS X Yosemite or later.
    • The iOS device must have Personal Hotspot turned off in Settings > Cellular.
