My phone is 6+ on iOS 9.1 and My Macbook is Macbook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) on OSX 10.11.3 .

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

    Dear ChitlinsCC,

         Thanks for your reply. But I can't solve it so far. I can share photo from my Mac to Phone and Phone to Mac but I can't share Notes from Mac to Phone(Phone to Mac is acceptable). As shown in image, there is no Airdrop in Share button for Notes. Drag and drop method doesn't work as well for Notes.Screen Shot 2016-03-18 at 01.26.50.png

    If, for whatever personal reason, you don't want to use iCloud for syncing your Notes, you can still sync automatically using iTunes And either a wired, or Wi-Fi connection to the iPhone.

    @Rysz Could you please explain me detail how to import Notes into phone with iTune?

    And either a wired, or Wi-Fi connection to the iPhone.

    What's that supposed to mean, please?

    another "detail" that I am picking up on?

     

    You seem to say you want to AirDrop "particular" notes - not SYNC all your Notes == am I reading you right?

    Am I correct in assuming you're new to Mac and/or iPhone? If so, a few basics...

     

    1. The very first thing you need to do is setup your Apple ID account with Apple (in System Preferences), you should have only one Apple ID;

    2. One of the applications that came pre-installed on your Mac is iTunes. In addition to purchasing, managing and playing various media, it is also used to backup and sync your devices with each other and the computer. Syncing includes music, photos, calendars, contacts, etc.;

    3. You can connect your iPhone to iTunes either via the USB cable that came with the phone, or by setting up and enabling a wireless network (Wi-Fi);

    4. One of the free services you have from Apple is an iCloud account; set it up in System Preferences sing the Apple ID from step 1; iCloud will enable the ability to automatically synchronize all your media and data, including Notes, across all devices, plus provide an off-site backup of that data.

     

    Syncing via iCloud is much simpler and more versatile than via iTunes, so I recommend that option.

     

    For basic information about your Mac, iTunes, iCloud, etc, please visit Apple Support web pages. They have excellent, simple descriptions and video tutorials.

    Start here https://www.apple.com/support/

    For basic information about your iPhone, launch and log into the iBooks app on your phone, then search for iPhone User Manual; the one by Apple is excellent and free.

    Pardon, please - I think the OP is interested in sending "items" such as "a single Note" to an AirDrop recipient within wifi range = either himself or another AirDrop user

    Use AirDrop to send content from your Mac - Apple Support

     

     ==

     

    use the Share feature:

    1. Click Share Share button, if available in your app. Or Control-click an item in the Finder, then choose Share from the shortcut menu.
    2. The Share menu lists several sharing options. Choose AirDrop.
    3. Select a recipient from the AirDrop sheet, then click Done.
