Don't drop the 6s for MacBook iPhone no devices found

Hello

at first I wan't to apologize if my language is bad, I'm not very good in English.

Now to my question. I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2009 running OS X Yosemite. I tried to send a photo from my iPhone 6 s more to my Mac via AirDrop, but my Mac does not show my iPhone in the Finder and my iPhone also does not show my Mac. This could be a compatibility issue? Maybe someone of you knows the answer?

Greetings

Dominik

Hello Dominik,

Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

We understand that you want to send a picture from your iPhone to your Mac via AirDrop, but the devices do not see each other.

The reason for this behavior is because of Mac model you are currently using. You have the MacBook Pro (mid 2009) will not meet the requirements to use Mac to Mac AirDrop, but to send or receive with an iPhone, the Mac must be a Yosemite 2012 or later running or a later version.

The following article explains these more detailed information:

Release system requirements

Send items to an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, or to receive these devices, you need a 2012 model or later Mac with OS X Yosemite or later version, except the Mac Pro (mid-2012).

To send items to another Mac, you must:

  • MacBook Pro (Late 2008) or later, excluding the MacBook Pro (17 inch, late 2008)
  • MacBook Air (late 2010) or later version
  • MacBook (Late 2008) or later, excluding the white MacBook (Late 2008)
  • iMac (early 2009) or later version
  • Mac Mini (mid-2010) or later version
  • Mac Pro (early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card or mid-2010)

See you soon
