To AirDrop between an IOS device and a Mac you need the following which you do not meet:



What you need

To share content with AirDrop, both people need one of these devices using iOS 7 or later, or a Mac with OS X Yosemite or later:

  • iPhone 5 or later
  • iPad Pro
  • iPad (4th generation) or later
  • iPad mini or later

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.
