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
The Apple Support Team have taken a copy of my computer to see if their engineers can find the problem. They acknowledge that other people are having this problem. I am waiting to hear from them.
i'm sure they will fix the problem in the next update.
but until then, stick to Yosemite is better option by now (for me).
i do like El Capitan, i didn't expect it will be perfect in the first shot, but they did very great job.
I have had a problem with my iMac 21.5 inch (late 2013). In a nutshell, Airdrop has never worked.
Having spent hours online to Apple support with no success, I resigned myself to never using Airdrop.
However.....I have just installed 10.11.1 and it now works. I can use it between both my IOS devices and my iMac and vice versa.
Better late than never!
Upgraded to iOS 9.1 on my iPhone 5S and Mac OS X 10.11.1 on my iMac yet AirDrop still isn't working between the two devices…
I was hopeful when I saw your message so I downloaded the latest update. Unfortunately my Airdrop still does not work. Any way I'm pleased for you. I just hope Apple get this problem sorted.
Finally, with the last upgrade of OS X, airdrop work. Thanks God.
Just finished updating both my iPhone and Mac they both seem to be working, finally I can us airdrop
I envy You guys. Both OS X and iOS updated here, but AirDrop still doesn't work 😟
i did create a usb boot disk with el capitan, and perform a clean install don't know if that worth a try!
Well, I didn't go that way, but I'll try it this weekend. Thanks.
Same thing; both OS and IOS updated to latest version but airdrop deosn't work yet
I've been chatting with the Senior Advisors for hours yesterday and today. We've been trying everything to solve this problem of mine. My Airdrop of my MBA cannot be searched by other iOS devices. However, other iOS devices are doing the jobs just fine. Therefore, we know something is wrong with the MBA 2013.
We've tried resetting NVRAM, SMC, wireless network, reinstall the OS X, change a different router, setting up a test account, and other things too.
However, none of above worked for me.
At the end, he asked me what kind of third party apps I have, and i gave him a list of the app i have. (I was really hopeless at that time and thought that it was not the problem for sure, however, we have already tried everything, why not one more)
Out of so many apps, he asked me to delete "Dr Cleaner, Memory Clean, and the unarchiver", I did not want to troubleshoot anymore, so i just deleted those and restarted the MBA.
You know what!? IT WORKS! WOW!!🙂😁
Hope this helps other people like me having trouble with the AirDrop.
Good Luck!

same problem here
Well, I will share..
I have the same problem, but I found some solution..
First I try to FaceTime to my device (iphone5s) and end shortly.
Then back to see Air drop from Finder, My device (iphone5s) is founded, so I can use Air Drop and transfer my photos.
I don't know this work for others devices....lets try.....
Thank you.
🙂
