Cannot use airdrop after OS update to el capitan

I've updated OS to el capitan, then I can't use airdrop to share files, and I have tried many ways to activate once again, but without success.

Please advise.

Is your Mac Pro at least a beginning model 2009 (model # A1289) with an AirPort Extreme card? You try to use AirDrop with a different Mac or an iOS (iPhone, iPad, or iPad Touch) device? If, on another Mac, which version of Mac OS X if it running?

  • After the update to El Capitan 10.11.6 I'm more able to use Excel

    I've updated a Mac Air to version 10.11.6. After the upgrade I'm more able to delete rows in Excel. The error is "Alert not enough memory" file is only 4.7 MB and air shows that I have 1 GB free memory. Is this a bug, and if so is there a work around available? I came to a standstill. worked quite happily on the sheet before the upgrade

    Try to reinstall the update by using this file: Download OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 Combo Update. It can solve the problem, but if it is not the case, then you must reinstall OS X. It is not a bug in Excel because I did not have such a problem arise on my system. However, an alert memory you reported is an OS X error alert that you have not enough memory to continue. Quit all other open applications to free up more memory. See if that helps. Also make sure that report is not disk space.

    After the updates that my external hard drive does not appear on "my computer", I can't access it. When I go to "devices and printers" it finally shows as "existing".

    So I've updated to El Capitan, but the internet is now constantly guard asking my password for my iCloud account: around once a day.

    My iCloud account has an email from google: @live.nl (similar to hotmail.com) with-not activated audit. Mail (and internet accounts) has a specific app password.

    When you register this app specific password, it does not agree the first two times ("cannot check account or password"), but he will accept the third time.

  • Missing Bootcamp after the update to El Capitan

    Threre was a 100 GB bootcamp partition and a 400GO OSX partition before update Mountain Lion to El Capitan.

    Here's the output of diskutil list after the update:

    I could have made the mistake of the reconstruction of the Macintosh HD with DiskWarrior directory to try to solve this problem.

    quick search of TestDisk, we get:

    By selecting one of the [Boot] data entries in the MS 6174 is obtained:

    Impossible to find all entries containing the SVI. Is there hope?

    Watch disk utility another partition? This partition installed Windows, and if so, it is no longer start?

    Looks like it shows that your hard drive is partitioned because it shows the scheme of 500 GB partition and then only 400 GB for Mac HD. Shows also the 40 GB of data to Microsoft.

  • Satellite Pro A300-1DZ cannot find HDD after BIOS update

    Hello world

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ flea market.
    Put a new copy of Windows xp family.
    I then install all the drivers necessary own site of Toshiba and the end of it, I thought that it is perhaps a good idea to update the bios?

    OH DEAR what a big mistake.

    Now the netbook won't start windows.
    So I thought it's ok, I'll just start from the begginning and reinstall windows again, but he tells me that it cannot find a hard drive on my netbook?

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm going crazy,
    Could someone tell me please how to fix this? Thanks x

    Hello

    I think the value of the option SATA AHCI and hence Windows XP mode cannot find the HARD drive.
    It's because of the SATA controller.
    You can set the SATA AHCI compatible mode mode mode and this will allow you to install Win XP on the laptop without the use of SATA drivers.

    So, you have two options if you want to install Win XP:

    -> AHCI mode, but you must include the SATA drivers
    Compatible mode-> Win XP installation possible without SATA drivers

  • Satellite A200 - cannot use Vista after the recovery of the product

    Hello. I hope someone can help me with the following... This week I had various issues with which follows my laptop a Vista update that system restore did not fix, so I decided to go for a full recovery of product (which I have a complete backup of all my files).

    So far I have used the product recovery on my laptop in the 3 ways I can see (and more than once): without changing the settings, change the settings and maximize the partition, change settings and select advance / expertise.

    Whenever I was able to complete the initialization of windows, create a new user account, etc. Once the Office has been set up, I get a small window with a progress bar and when it's over, I click on the button 'restart '...

    After the reboot, I get the black screen that says Microsoft Corporation with the green progress bar, but he's there for what feels like 'too long '. After a while, I get a black screen with a cursor, then a blue screen for a crash dump.

    If I use F8 and boot mode safe, the system stops the CplIR.sys file, although the hard disk activity seems to be continuing. I turn off after 10 minutes.

    If I use F8 and then select Repair computer... This is what is happening with each option
    -Restore the full windows operating system: after clicking on OK nothing happens.
    -Diagnostics of memory: there is no problem with memory
    -DOS prompt: I run CHKDSK and there is no problem with the hard drive
    -Restart: there is no errors, even if the word diagnosis 'impossible' when he sees, there is no system restore points

    Then on reboot I get the black screen with cursor followed by the crashdump OR if I managed to log in and access my desktop, I get the crash dump, as soon as I try to do something (like open Control Panel).

    Following the instructions found elsewhere, I have tried this after removing the battery, then changing power management options immediately after the initialization of windows (ie. before clicking on the restart button). No change.

    I even ignored the button restart! But still get a crash dump, when I try to do something.

    Any ideas? I've got past (ie. wasted) so a lot of time on this and don't understand what may be wrong after formatting the windows drive image and reloading...

    Hello

    It's very interesting story. I got several notebooks several times but I never noticed anything like that.
    I must say that what you did right and you think appropriately. If I were you I would try exactly the same steps to make it work somehow.
    I do not know which issues you had before, but I imagine that here it's just the problems of software and not important for the operation of the equipment.

    It's really hard to say what can be the problem. What you can try, is somewhere to get facilities Microsoft Vista disk and install naked Vista to see if the same thing will happen again.
    Anyway, the fact is that images of recovery are tested and adapted for each laptop model and if the material is OK there no reason for this kind of behavior.

    Try again with the new installation using Microsoft facilities drive and let us know exactly what is happening.
