Does anyone know how to get airdrop working on OS X El Capitan, I used to have the issue intermittently on Yosemite but since upgrading I haven't been able to transfer files via Airdrop to my iPhone 5 or 6S.
When I select Airdrop in a Finder window my phone just doesn't appear!!!
Can anyone help?
same problems, with macbook pro 15' middle 2015 w/ el capitan and iPhone 6 w/ iOS 9.0.2

I have the same Problem and this afternoon Apple support confirmed this is a known issue with E Capitan and will be corrected on the next update - no date given at 5/10/15....
Thanks, so all that we can do is wait...
Hope it's soon, at least mac updates fix issues and not cause more like Windows update
To be honest I'm sick and tired of this problem. AirDrop has never worked well fluently ever since it was introduced. I'm always having problems sending or receiving files between iPhone and Mac or Mac and Mac. Either there's something wrong with the Bluetooth so I have to reset the PRAM or and iOS or OS X update causing it not to work. But always there's a problem.
As I type, airdrop isn't working currently between my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 5s. Both running the latest versions of their systems. My iPhone won't show up on finder even after being visible to everyone, and turning on both Bluetooth and wifi. Annoying!
Before the el Capitan update I had no problem using Air Drop between my iMac and iPad. Now it only works occasionally. I spent two hours online and on the phone with Apple support trying different things with no success. The person I spoke with said he is taking the issue to the engineers and will get back to me but it is likely I will have to wait until there is an update to fix the issue.
I would appreciate if you could share the solution, I've not been able to use the function since the upgrade
I have the same problem with Airdrop ... MBP 13' Early 2015 on El Capitan and iPhone 6+ on iOS 9.0.2. ... NOT WORKING !!
Same problem here.
Late 2013 iMac 21.5" running 10.11 cannot use AirDrop with iPhone 5, 5S and 6 - all running iOS 9.0.2
Just wanted to confirm I have been told twice by apple support that airdrop link to phones will be fixed on the next update - they just can't advise when.
cheers
Certainly. If I get a solution I'll share it, as will anyone I expect.
Exactly the same problem!
My continuity is working fine... but my AirDrop just worked once and after that I can't see my iPad on the AirDrop list on my mac.
Same problem!
MacBook Air - OS X El Capitan
Ipad Air 2 - IOS 9.0.2
I finally upgrade to El Capitan in order to share documents with AirDrop and now I find out it doesn't work.....
Looking for a solution ASAP.....
Same problem here. My Macbook Pro Retina 13inch (mid 2014) running El Capitan and my iPhone 6 (iOS 9.0.2) simply can't find each other. Between iPhones and iPads, it works fine, but my Macbook can't find or be found by any other devices. That's why I'm pretty sure it's an El Capitan issue.
I've reached for Apple Support in Brazil and I was told to restore both. I did and it didn't change anything.
i had same problem too.
MBA Yosemite with iphone 6 iOS 9.0.1 and iphone 5s iOS 7.1 = working
But,
MBA El Capitan couldn't see my iphones and my iphones couldn't see my MBA El Capitan.
revert back to Yosemite is the best solution for me.using OS X internet Recovery is the best scenario because Yosemite is no longer in Mac App Store (region Indonesia).
