Parachuting on MBP does not

AirDrop does not see my (4th gen) iPad or iPhone 6 - AirDrop connects between these devices.  When I open the drop in finder on my MBP he sees nothing.  I do not see the options "allow me to be discovered by:" or "do not see that you are looking?  The iPad and iPhone are right next to the MB. I tried all the recommendations I can find to solve problems.  Check the settings of the firewall, restarted the computer, repeatedly turned on/turned off wifi & bluetooth.  My check of system indicates AirDrop is supported. I use current software on all devices.  No idea why it won't work & why I don't have any options to select below the AirDrop icon in the finder window?  I've included screenshots for reference.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thank you

Betsy

  • iMessage on MBP does not work

    Hello guys,.

    Since my logic board in my MBP (early 2011) has been changed due to problems with the graphics chip, my iMessage no longer works.

    I have already tried disabling my account iCloud and iMessage - it also does not work.

    There is no problem with my iMessage on my iPhone and iMac - so I think it's something to do with the evolution of the logic board.

    I read something on the internet, the serial number of the logic board could cause the problem.

    On my MBP:

    MacBook Pro: 15 "beginning 2011

    El Capitan 10.11.3 OSX version

    Serial number: C02GJ0HVDRJM

    Can you help me solve this problem?

    Thanks and good luck,

    Martina

    Please follow these instructions to view the serial number of the machine. If the number is missing or invalid according to the Apple web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or another service center authorized to correct the problem.

    The serial number is private information. Please post here or on any public web page.

  • MBP does not start with corrupt initial screen

    while I was watching a YouTube video last night, and then all of a sudden the screen went black with a second audio loop 1 - no response other than the button works / stop.

    turned it off and back on again.

    I get the grey screen with the apple logo, but I have jagged lines across the screen (a slight green tint).

    the progress bar goes to about 75%, then the screen flashing with a big green bar on the screen, then goes completely gray and then restarts - it repeats and it never completely starts.

    It's a macbook pro 15 "end 2011 (high resolution display).

    have tried resetting the SMC and PRAM - makes no difference.

    is the maximum now?

  • My MacBook Pro does not have the Adobe Reader program...

    Hey-

    I have Mac OS X 10.6.8. There can be no Adobe Reader on your computer. A Web site, I was reading an article on higher education said, "you need Adobe Reader to use some of the functions...". "I wanted to download an article and I cold not managed to download so I downloaded Adobe Reader.  I don't know if there is a specific way to install the program as if he was with Adobe Flash, but I clicked on the download and now my MBP does not work properly.  So I think I better uninstall first and try to download again.  Are there specific instructions to download and install Adobe Reader?  or I just download the program and install it?  For some reason that way screwed the Pro macBoo upward and now I'm having a lot of problems and can't open any pdf files.  I had the same problem with Flash until someone in the forum told me that I had to follow the instructions specify that Adobe recommends that one follows the installation of Flash.  Once I have made, or found someone who knew what I asked and did not said 'just download the program and click... "If someone can help me uninstall Adobe Reader and go through the installation process?

    Thank you.

    No.... MacUpdate.com is the site where you can find AppDelete.

    Not to be confused with the Apple software update.

    Two different animals.

    The BIG difference between Reader and Acrobat (except the price) is that with Acrobat, you can create and modify the PDFs. Reader views only them unless they have fields to fill in, but it is still impossible to modify the body of the PDF file.

    Good thing on a Mac is that Preview, which comes with the operating system can create and edit PDF files.

    Unfortunately, a lot of services online such as banks, employers and universities do not play well with preview in your browser so you have the player adds on.

    The process is therefore:

    Download AppDelete to MacUpdate.com

    Install it and run it

    Drag the Reader app to the window.

    Delete EVERYTHING in the window.

    Empty the trash.

    Download the free app from drive X

    Install it.

  • I have a MBP Late 2013 will pair does not with 6s on Blutooth

    Read all comments (lots of old stuff on these communities) and tried all the suggestions of trashing the plist etc etc. Still unable to get my iPhone 6s to pair with my MBP end 2013.

    For a fleeting moment after that match it says connected not connected appears.

    AirDrop works, but my phone does not appear on the screen of the devices. If sending photos of the iPhone works well my avatar is not displayed as sender just my intials & where ever he gets the ints info not the name I use in my Contacts.

    Someone at - it any idea what is happening. This worked OK until recently.

    An iPhone will pair not via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) with the exception of hotspot and then only if your cell phone plan he supports. See below for more information. https://discussions.Apple.com/docs/doc-7722

    If you try to use the procedure of transfer/continuity or AirDrop, which does not have Bluetooth but devices don't are NOT matched. Bluetooth must be just on and the devices within range of the other. The following may help in problems of transfer/continuity: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204678

  • Router LinkSys WRT160N V2 does not recognize my USB SMC EZ Connect 11 Mbps Wireless

    I have a Linksys WRT160N V2 router. So far I have correctly connected, using two 'wired' connections, my laptop and the printer. I was able to add two DS, Wii, wireless, another laptop and a PC. The laptop that connected wireless uses the D-Link wireless device and the PC uses an other SMC wireless device. All these things correctly connect through wireless connections. The last PC I tied to conenct uses USB SMC EZ Connect 11 Mbps Wireless. This computer can actually 'see' the Linksys router and this is the SSID. When I try to connect to him, he thinks about it for about 5-10 seconds and then fate and says "Detected wireless networks". Ironically, a neighbor also has a Linksys router. Its protected by WEP, but for some reason, my PC is ready to connect to the Linksys router (has a different SSID), but since I do not know the WEP key (I don't want to actually connect to sound at least) it shows the strength of connection 11 Mbit/s and of course, does not have an IP address. Why my router does not recognize my Wireless Linksys router? I even used the LELA 'Search' application for new devices, and he can't find it, all the while my PC 'sees' the router and fails to connect. Someone knows why? FYI, the PC in question just had XP loaded on it (total reconstruction) and has never been only once on the interent.

    If you have disable wireless security is disabled, and if still you are not connect to your wireless network, then I think you should try upgrading the drivers for your SMC card, once you update the drivers for you adapter after this you can try to connect to your wireless network.

  • Broadcom netlink gigabit card does not connect to 1 Gbit/s, auto negotiate connects to 10 Mbps

    Hello

    I am very satisfied with my purchase Alienware Aurora ALX and happy to be part of this community.  However, I have this problem:

    Does not connect to 1 Gbps Ethernet adapter; Here's what I've tried so far:

    (1) confirmed that my router is able to support Gigabit Ethernet.  I have two other devices connected to the same speed (an old PC and NAS).

    (2) when I set the speed and duplex of the adapter auto negotiate, it will connect to 10 Mbps

    (3) I noticed that there is no setting for 1000 Mbps in speed and duplex options.

    (4) I tried 100 full duplex MB, it will connect, but my Internet connection slows down less than 1 Mbps (I'm on a 15Mbps connection and test the other PC it could reach around 14Mbps).

    (5) I then tried 100 MB half duplex, it will also link and my overall network performance is good.

    (6) I have confirmed that I have the current driver from Dell. I've had the computer for 3 days (using windows 7 by the way).

    (7) I tried all ports on my router and confirmed that the side of the router has also been on auto negotiate and not trying to force a specific speed.

    I hope someone has a solution or suggestion for this problem.

    Kind regards

    Jason

    * SOLUTION * thanks in part to the previous article.

    Here is the Giga speed solution that worked for my new Dell Studio 1458.  I've read a lot about speeds slow xfer using the Broadcom NetLink LAN connection.

    There were two things I did not initially, but were in fact true.

    (1) you must use a CAT 6 line on ALL your machines capable of gigabit.  I though that a good line of Cat5e support giga speeds.  This isn't.

    Card Dell NetLink is apparently, some initial negotiations with your router (a bit ' as a fax machine), then after seeing all of your connections.

    It will drop the xfer rate down to the lowest common component (i.e. the Cat5e cable).  And;

    (2) map of NetLink won't give you giga speeds in automatic selection (advanced ethernet properties, speed & duplex).  The speed and the duplex window will never

    view 1000 MB!  You can check if your is10/100/1000 connection by double clicking on the icon of your connection to the Local network.

    I checked the speed of my connection giga via a test utility and transferring a 200meg file.  The results indicate an increase in the speed of 12 MB/s to 26 MB/s.

    These figures do not show a factor of ten speeds increase, we'd all have (so much), but they are in line with transfer rates of others.

    I hope this helps!

  • Parachute does not not on El Capitan 10.11.5

  • Parachute does not not between my MacBook and iPhone6s

    I'm really tired of working on my drop between my Macbook 13 "(non-retine) El-Capitan running and my iPhone running iOS 6s 9.3.1." The thing is that my Macbook does never show in my phone for sharing and my phone sometimes shows in the Macbook for sharing. Although the connection to my iPad in these two devices is perfect.

    I have tried all possible ways to make it work, restarted both devices several times, removed the com.apple.bluetooth.plist from my laptop, but still nothing happens after you turn on the bluetooth again. I have really had enough of this now and need a solution to share files back and forth between these two devices.

    APPLE are you listening, things have never been like that if STEVE JOBS was still there, he would have immediately addressed this problem and found a solution, but do not last geniuses. So if you guys will really care about your loyal fans, have a look at this problem and solve it for us.

    I understand that your MacBook Pro does not appear on your iPhone 6s when you try to use the AirDrop feature, but it appears on your iPad, is that correct?  The resources below explains how to set up the AirDrop on your devices and some troubleshooting steps to try if it does not work.

    Hey there Torof,.

    Welcome to Apple Support communities.

    The article below provides a lot of information and tips that can help you solve the problem of sending and reception of items between your iPhone and your MacBook Pro troubleshooting 6 using airdrop.

    Use AirDrop to send the contents of your Mac - Apple Support

    Tips for sending items

    If you do not see the recipient in the AirDrop window or sheet:

    • Make sure that the two devices have on AirDrop and are less than 30 feet (9 meters) on the other.
    • If you send to an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch:
      • Your Mac must be a 2012 model or newer with OS X Yosemite or later.
      • The iOS must have Personal Hotspot device disabled in settings > cellular.
    • If you send a Mac:
      • If the receiver Mac uses OS X Mavericks, Cougar or Lion, then open a window AirDrop: choose go > AirDrop in the menu in the Finder bar.
      • If the receiver Mac is a 2012 model or, click "Don't see you looking?" in the drop window or the sharing of the sending of the Mac spreadsheet. Then click on "Search for an older Mac."
      • Know if the Mac has "block all incoming connections" enabled in the privacy & security preferences. A Mac does not receive items using AirDrop if this setting is enabled.
    • If AirDrop on the receiving device is set up to receive points of contacts only, make sure that the two devices are connected to iCloud. Also make sure the associated e-mail address or phone number to your identifier Apple is in the Contacts application on the receiving device.

    So long.
