Q: AIRDROP NOT WORKING! El Capitan
I know this topic has been addressed a lot already...
The issue is I can't really say Airdrop is not working at all. Somehow is does work between my MacBook Air (Mid 2012) and my iPhone 5c but it does not work between my iMac (late 2013) and my iPhone.
The weird thing is that I have to use the "Don't see who you are looking for?" link in finder for trying to connect bot Macs. Since the Airdrop connection work with the MacBook Air and the iPhone I assume that my iMac late 2013 is recognized as an "older" Mac. Why is that?
Apple clearly says that for sharing files between mobile devices and Macs the Mac needs to be newer than 2012! Which is the case with my iMac.
What is going wrong? Do I have a special iMac not supporting the Airdrop feature with mobile devices?
Gosh, Apple needs to fix that Airdrop issues at some point. This is really annoying!
Thanks for any hint.
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11), late 2013 (21.5", 2.7GHz)
