cannot drop between my iphone6 and macbook air

I don't see my iphone6 on my macbook air (Finder-> Go-> drop), or I see my macbook air on my list of drop iphone6.

Strange, I don't see anything like "' let me be discovered by ' option ' in the airdrop window.

I disable firewall on my macbook air and marketed both bluetooth and wifi.

For my iphone6, I turned on the airdrop (bluetooth and wifi is turned on) and together for helping everyone.

My macbook air is 11 inches by early 2014, run OSX version 10.9.5

My iphone6 is a plus, running ios 9.1 (I have no problem on another iphone airdop)

I searched on the web and it seems that no one has the same problem?

This feature requires that the Mac is running Yosemite or newer.

  • drop between iPhone 6 + and macbook pro?

    I have an iPhone 6 + running iOS 9.2.1 and a MacBook Pro running 10.11.3. I'm on a bus in Western mass and Connecticut, where I have no cell signal, so I tried to use airdrop to move some photos.

    I can't. The Mac and the phone are side by side, but they cannot see. Bluetooth can't pair up, moreover, although each presents itself on the other.

    What can I do to make them Exchange data (pictures)?

    You must pair up in Bluetooth. Which model MacBook Pro and it works when you're somewhere that has WiFi?

  • drop between mid-2009 and IOS device does not

    Mid 2009 Macbook Pro running El Capitan. Bluetooth and wifi on. When I opened Airdrop I see only the symbol of release with message "drop we will share you instantly... to share with someone using a Mac, ask them to go to Airdrop in the Finder. I don't see my IOS device on my Mackbook Pro, or I see my MackBook Pro on my IOS device in parachuting. Tech Genius Bar said that I had to add more storage for MacBook Pro. Made with a new SSD. Still not able to use Airdrop with IOS.

    It works as expected. Drop between iOS devices and Mac requires that the Mac is a 2012 model or newer.

  • iCloud keeps asking for password on iPad, iPhone, and Macbook Air

    I have a Mini iPad, iPhone 6 and Macbook Air, which is still invited to enter my password to iCloud.  All have BONES perfectly up-to-date.  On the iPad, I did a full erase and restore, nothing helps.  Since then, I also signed on iCloud and signed in on the iPad, I have not tried who still on other devices.  My iCloud username is an @me.com format, so I made sure that all newspapers in places (FaceTime, iTunes Store, messaging, etc., use this journal, even if I have a @icloud.com email too.)  I disabled 2 authentication and password specific to the Messages and FaceTime App.

    It seems to have something to do with email in particular.  On the Macbook Air from Apple email program, I get a message on the main window connection failed, and then the iCloud account is set offline.  I have to retype the iCloud password and/or exit and restart messaging to operate.

    Another thing pointing to the problem being with email that I have disabled all Push email for the iPad, and the password are stopped.  Then, when I try to retrieve messages manually, the prompt is displayed again.

    I'm out of ideas.  One thing I did not must give a new password, to disconnect all devices, then add them, one by one.

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    Thank you

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air does not print

    Products:

    • HP Officejet Pro 8600
    • MacBook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5)
    • MacBook Air (OS X, Version 10.8.2)

    Question:

    • Why my Mac initially print fine, but now will not print?

    Full article:

    I have a wireless network in my house that consisted of a 30 MB cable internet, Netgear 900n, HP Officejet Pro 8600, 2 laptops from Dell with Windows 7, a laptop Lenovo with Windows 7 and Dell with Windows 7 trick, all printed matter very well.

    The HP Officejet 8600 was added to my network about 2 months ago.

    I added a Macbook Pro and Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago.  The two Macs printed fine for about a week.  Then suddenly they stop.  I spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP's Service, and finally, they said to my router.  So I called Netgear.  NETGEAR was useless!  They wanted me to accept fees for services before they would even discuss the issue.

    As a result of information provided by the HP support service, and because Netgear will not support their product, I quickly bought a new router - an Apple Airport Extreme.

    Macs will recognize the printer will print if connected via a USB cable, but do not print wirelessly on the Officejet Pro 8600.  The fine impression CPA.

    The frustration that is felt is made up by the fact that Macs printed very well with the Officejet Pro 8600 2 weeks and now the printer shows just "idle"... even with a new router. (see image below)

    Please help, thank you very much for all support.

    As a side note, the representative of the HP Service was very friendly and definitely tried to support the HP product, which is much more I can say about Netgear.

    Thank you

    Hello

    More likely a problem with Multicast, which Apple devices are relies on to communicate with the device through the network.

    First try unplugging the router for 30 seconds.

    Connect to the power supply and wait 2-3 minutes.

    Turn off the HP printer and turn it back on, then check all difference.

    If it persists, try to change the configuration of your router as follows

    Note: the settings below are not related with the HP product, I provide you with the steps as a best efforts and those based only on my own knowledge. You can try to change the settings of the router at your own risk:

    1. Open the router configuration page (you'll find listed as the default gateway by clicking the icon on the printer wireless, then print a network configuration report.
    2. Click the Advanced tab.
    3. Click the configuration option in the menu, and then click Setup WAN.
    4. Be sure to uncheck the box Disable IGMP proxy transmission and apply the changes.
    5. Click on the LAN configuration on the same Setup menu.
    6. Set the RIP RIP-2 Version and apply the changes.
    7. Restart your router and then check any change.

    I have Lightroom on my iMac and MacBook Air, I just new MacBook Pro, all migrated to Pro air but will not work Lightroom until I have disable it on the Air.  HOW CAN I DO THIS?

    There is no such thing as disabling Lightroom 5.7. Just uninstall the software.

    Looks like you have installed 6 Lightroom on two of your computers (including the MacBook Air). In this case, you must find and launch Lightroom 6 (not Lightroom 5.7 or any other version of Lightroom 5) on the MacBook Air and then in the menu help, select logout.

  • What is the difference between 4.0 and 13 Air?

    What is the difference between 4.0 and 13 Air?

    Anyone know what is happening here? Is 4 and 13 of the AIR, the same AIR?

    I understand that there was an update of Flash player to version 13, but I get conflicting messages/information. An a page it says:

    13.PNG

    When you click on the link "Download Adobe AIR beta 4" it shows as Air 13 with the following link: http://labs.Adobe.com/downloads/air.html

    4.PNG

    Anyone know what is happening here? Is 4 and 13 of the AIR, the same AIR?

    I understand the difference between the two. Is AIR 4.0 sometimes referred to as AIR 13? http://labs.Adobe.com/downloads/air.html

    lol the beta version have their own sequence of name.  If, and when, a beta going live, it will be renamed in line with the current naming conventions.  That is to say, air beta version 14 could be renamed air versions 4.1

    Says the title on the page 'AIR 13'. Should not say 'AIR 4.0' and 'Flash player 13.'

    lol you are looking at the beta page.  If you're looking for the latest versions of liberation, for the moment, you can find version 4.

  • AirDrop only works one way between iMac and MacBook Air

    Hello

    Surely I can't be the only one with this problem. I searched online help and followed all of the suggestions, but nothing works. I can AirDrop OF my MacBook Air (OS X Yosemite, mi 2013 construction) to the iMac (OS X El Capitan, end 2013) almost 100% of the time, but NOT vice versa. The iMac won't discover the MB Air. I even tried "find an old MAc" - no go. Drop settings are as well 'discovered by everybody' and the privacy settings firewall does not block incoming signals.

    Does anyone have a solution to short to go to the Genius bar?

    Thanks for your help, Cinilla

    You use a third-party software that modifies the behavior of the trackpad or Magic Mouse, such as "BetterTouchTool" or "MagicPrefs? If so, please, turn it off, then log off or restart the computer and test.

  • Fan runs almost always since the installation of Sierra and MacBook Air running Mac OS.

    Hello

    Since upgrading to Mac OS Sierra last night on my MacBook Air (2013, i7, 8gbRAM), fans work almost always, even when I use Safari.  Previously, the fans would go only when I was playing a game, or video edition.  The basis of my Macbook Air is also much more hot he was under El Capitan - once again, just when you use Safari.  As a result, my battery life is horrible - dropped from 100% to 23% in a little over an hour.  Once again, under El Capitan, if I was just using internet, use of an hour would see the maximum of 10 to 15% of decline in battery.

    I turned off my Macbook Air and it turned on again after fifteen minutes, but in 10-15 minutes, fans revived upward and the base (and the top of the keyboard) heated again.  No uncomfortable levels, but certainly noticeable levels.

    Just to remind - I use Safari only when this happens.  Moreover, since the beginning of this question five minutes ago, the % of battery has dropped from 29 percent to 22 percent and the fans are still whirring like the dickens.

    No idea why this is happening?

    Hello, take a look at this maybe of http://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/mac/fix-overheating-macbook-3592266/ article it will help.

  • iMessage does not sync between iPhone, Mac Mini, MacBook Air

    My main computer is: Mac Mini (mid-2011), El Capitan 10.11.1 (B 15, 42)

    My secondary computer is: MacBook Air (13 inch, mid-2012), El Capitan 10.11.1 (B 15, 42)

    And my iPhone is: iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.1 (B 13, 143)

    iMessage used to sync between my iPhone and my computers very well. I was also able to answer incoming calls on my iPhone with computers. It seems that, just at the time I upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan (or maybe iOS 9.1) synchronization no longer works. I tried pretty much everything I read on the forums, but nothing works. When I go into SETTINGS, MESSAGES and TRANSMISSION of MESSAGE TEXT on my iPhone and select the Mac Mini or MacBook Air, it will activate the program MESSAGES on the computer, but it won't send a code.

    Hello

    Have you tried with Messages on the relevant Mac already started?

  • How to synchronize Adobe on my iMac and Macbook Air

    Hello

    I just ordered a Macbook Air. I'll get it next week. My main goal is to make a montage LR and PS in my spare time to work and when I travel. I would like to know how I should put up the files so I don't lose the changes I make in my Macbook when I reconnect to my iMac. Is there something special I need to do? Should I keep my catalogs on Dropbox or in iCloud, for example?

    Currently I have an iMac end 2013. I keep the files on a drive external HARD, catalogues on the iMac and return them both up to TM. When a picture is how I like it, I burn it to a disc. I don't know how I should adjust my workflow using two different computers.

    Save it to a common place, probably in the cloud, in the creative space cloud or in the drop-down list. Take care to keep files up-to-date on both computers.
