Airdrop stopped working after macOS Sierra Upgrade

I'm not able to AirDrop from my 2013 MacPro (macOS Sierra 10.12.1) to my iPhone 6 (iOS 10.1.1), but I am able to AirDrop from my iPhone to my MacPro. Settings are set to Everyone on both devices and I'm connected to the exact same AirPort network.

Try simply opening the BlueTooth Preference pane as I suggested above on 10/27. You must do that each time you want to AirDrop from your Mac. Dunno why my post shows up relating to Apple Watch.

I have the same problem. I can Airdrop from my iphone 6 to my MacBookPro 2012 (with Sierra) but I can't Airdrop from my Mac to my iphone. I've tried opening Preference and Bluetooth as someone recommended but still doesn't work...

Any other solution, please?

Strangely enough Air Drop to my Mac from my iPhone and iPad mysteriously started working spontaneously! Did the system clean itself up after one shutdown or another?

My problem is subtly different - Airdrop works essentially all the time in the non-useful direction (MacBook-to-iPhone) but is very unreliable in the really needed direction iPhone-to-Mac. It works sometimes but maybe 5% of the time. Once discovered transfer is fine (much faster than our desperately slow broadband and Dropbox) but discovery is highly asymmetrical. Repeated resets and reboots do not seem to make any difference.

Had the same problem, could see the Mac that I just upgraded to Sierra, but Airdrop transfer would not work, just hanged on waiting.

Found this in another post and it worked after the fix.

How to fix if Handoff and AirDrop not working in MacOS Sierra? Whatever your problems are, just take the following steps to get they working correctly.

1. Your firstly turn off Bluetooth.
2. Then remove the following file: /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
3. Finally, turn the Bluetooth back on

Done! Handoff and AirDrop must work correctly under MacOS Sierra now.

I'm having the same problem with my wife's MacBook Air Mid 2011 Model. No AirDrop settings.

I looked for this files and it seems that I don't have it on my Macbook Pro?

This worked for me,

Step #3 should be replace for a System Restart (that worked for me)

Thanks for your contribution!

Pura vida!

Hi,

Sorry, but which "Step 3" you mean?

Maybe there is a link to a specific webpage/discussion missing?

Thanks a lot,

Marco.
