Hello.
I'm trying to transfer a couple of mkv files from my Macbook using OX X El Capitan, to my iPhone 6, which has been updated to OS 11 - every time I try and do an airdrop from Macbook to phone, I get the error message 'Airdrop failed to save, use iCloud storage instead?'. I don't want to do this and want the files on my phone. I have loads of free memory, so cana't figure out the issue. Any help would be great. Thank you :-)
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Had this problem with some image files copied from a shared google drive account. I thought it was the file extensions, but it turned out that Mac OS preserved some weird file permissions. To fix it, I did Get Info on the parent folder, made certain it showed my user had read+write access (bottom of the info pane), and then clicked the gear and chose Copy to Enclosed Items (you may have to provide an admin user password). That fixed the AirDrop issue and the files transferred without incident.
In the two pages you get for the export, the first should have to do with the quality. Change the frame rate or something to custom ( I still made it the highest quality witch is supposedly what it was set to when the aid drop failed ) but anyway that seemed to do the trick
About 1 wk ago I started getting “item not saved, use iCloud” notifications every morning when I unplug my locked iPhone 8 from charging. I wasn’t using airdrop, wasn’t trying to move videos. Just started showing up. Any ideas?
Same problem. Is it the new iOS? Airdrop has failed so many times when it should be simple.
Same issue. Can someone help.
I spoke too soon. It acted as if it was working but the .mov didn't show up in my photos. I tried again and got the same error as before. This is so frustrating as I use airdrop everyday.
This stupid issue kept me up till 3 in the morning glad I could help someone else! 💪-1F3FF;
ok so I'm not as familiar with this terminology, but I'm having the same issue with iMovie, so how does that translate to iMovie, I checked my format options and I can't find anything like that.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This was the exact issue
You are a legend Max!! It worked and it bugged me for a week now!! I had to create an apple account just to say THANK YOU!!

Thank you!

Thank you soooo much! This was all I needed to do in Premiere to get Air Drop to work.
