    It's working properly. AirDrop between a Mac and an iOS device requires that the Mac be a 2012 or newer model; earlier ones can only use AirDrop with other Macs.

    I, at one time could use Air Drop on all my mac's/macbook/macbook pro

    But that was in 10.8, and all my machines are PRE-2012

    Now my iPad and iPhones are all PORT-2012

    It had something to do with the Airport drivers and the manufacture of the component

    So I have to use my router and wi-fi and connect to devices with my login/password as admin then I can still transfer files between devices locally

    If Air Drop was supposed to be a big thing for us Apple people, why did they cut it out for mid-2010 models to 2012?

    If my stuff works, which is does, then I am not going to go drop $2k on another iMac for Air Drop.

    Hello, I have the same problem. I have a mac of 2015 and an iPhone 6s and AirDrop is not working and I kindly ask Apple to solve it.  I don't know what to do , I've searched for solutions on the internet but no ways .
