Ipad pro not connecting to Macbook pro retina or Imac

Despite trying all of the logical things - checking settings, turning the bluetooth and wifi on and off each item, making sure all of the devices are discoverable etc. I still can't seem to connect the iPad pro with either of the macs both of which were brought last year/

What model airport extreme do you have?


You do not list anywhere the model or firmware.. if you don't have an airport it likely won't work.


Airdrop is a fragile conceptual technology where all the pieces have to be in exactly the right place to work.


There are lots of posts with people having issues.. do a google search.

To use AirDrop between an iOS device and a Mac, the following basic requirements must be met:

  • The Mac must be a 2012 or later model and running OS X10.10 Yosemite or later.
  • The iPad must be one of the following:
    • iPad Pro
    • iPad 4th generation or later
    • iPad mini or later
    • Running iOS 7 or later
  • Both devices must have Bluetooth (4.0 LE) & Wi-Fi enabled.
