Airdrop not working - network name

I removed _ from my network name. Although airdrop is still not working 100% of the time, removing the _ character has definetly improved consistency.

Hi

Just found this post. You have probably tried a hundred things, but thought it worth mentioning there could be an issue with your Bluetooth preferences on the Mac. Maybe follow these steps just in case:



  1. Switch off Bluetooth on your Mac.
  2. Delete the file at:/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
  3. Restart your Mac.
  4. Switch on Bluetooth.

By the way, you said removing the underscore from your Wi-Fi name helped, so I assume you're not using any other special characters?

Joe.
