Airdrop Doesn't See IPhone 5s And IMac
Nov 30, 2014
I'm unable to get my iPhone and iMac to see each other to use airdrop. This is with my iPhone literally about 12 inches from the iMac.Â
My iMac is a Mid 2011 27-inch running System 10.10 OS X Yosemite. My iPhone is an iPhone 5S 32GB running OS 8.1.1.Â
Both have wifi and bluetooth turned on. Neither see each other in airdrop. I never got this to work, and finally tonight I decided I had it and I'm going to figure this out. But all the support pages I google and such just skip past the idea that you might not see each other - other than saying both must have bluetooth andwifi turned on. I'm at a loss here. I seem to be doing everything the instructions say to do?Â
One possible issue is this. In the iPhone I see there is a preference to see contacts, everybody or nobody. I selected everybody for that. I don't see anywhere on the iMac with this option. Could it be turned off and I can't find where this preference/question is hiding?Â

When I connect my iPhone 4S (iOs 5.1) by USB to my iMac (Os X 10.6.8), it won't show up anymore in iTunes/iPhoto/Finder and the battery won't charge either. It used to work, but now it doesn't. I have the latest versions of all the relevant software and I tried every trick I could find on the fora. What can I do next?

iPhone 6+ using iOS 8. I go to control center, hit airdrop, hit off.Â
Yet when I go to pics, select one, hit box/arrow to email it.... everyone around me pops up on airdrop with the option to tap to share.Â
What the heck... it is off??? But obviously it is not!Â

I have an iPhone 5s 64gb and a family member has iPhone 5s 16gb but Airdrop does not even show up on her "Control Center" screen.
It shows up on my screen, I turn it on and pick everyone but it never finds her phone.
We can turn her bluetooth on manually and it still does not display Airdrop on the Control Panel for her 5s.
Both units have been connected to iTunes and updates are all downloaded and installed but this problem that still exist.
Is it broke?

I've turned on photo stream on my iPhone.
I've checked the iPhoto help, and it says to go to turn on photo stream on my iMac. To do that I've got to open system preferences and click iCloud ... only problem is that iCloud isn't in my system preferences list. There's Mobile Me ... but no iCloud.
I'm using Lion (Mac OS X version 10.6.8) - i've just done all the system updates too.
Can anyone recommend what I can do to get iCloud on my iMac?

I just got a new to-me imac. Just totally cleaned the hard drive, added Snow Leopard 10.6.3. When I plug in my iphone (which use to be on a pc...) itunes doesn't show it on the left. My iphone still says it's waiting for the name of my old pc... how do I get this to work? I'm updating all software now, but figured this should have worked by now...

When I use iTunes (11.2.2) to back up my iPhone 5c IOS 7.1.1 to my iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8), I get a pop up alert saying there is not enough free space on this computer. There's close to 100GB of free space on my hard drive, is this an issue that's related to Snow Leopard? I'd rather not update my OS since I'm running an older version of Logic, which could very well become compromised if I update to Mavericks etc. Is there a folder or a file I can delete to stop this?

My iMac is not recognizing my iPhone on the desktop, however iTunes sees it when I open it up. Why won't my iPhone appear on my desktop? And I have already marked the CDs, DVDs, and iPods in the preferences of what appears on your desktop.

Just got a new iPhone 4S and after I synced all of my contacts from my iMac,I realized that I really didn't want to put ALL of the contacts in my computer on my phone. (I have WAY more contacts in my computer than I need/want on my phone).Is there a way to "go back" to the original contact list that I put on my phone before I synced the contacts from my computer, or do I need to go through and delete them one by one?

I use my iMac as an Apple TV server via home sharing. I travel a lot for work. My wife is computer illiterate. Is there a way to create a one touch "app" looking button on her iPhone that she could hit that would do the following:
- Force Quit / Kill all applications on the iMac
- Force Restart
I know it seems simple to tell her to go to the computer and restart, but sometimes when she does that applications get hung up and the computer doesn't restart. I have automatic login turned on, so I just need a way to restart the computer without any real user intervention.

I have an iMac and a iPhone. I used iPhoto to transfer my camera roll pictures to the mac. my mac got the blue screen and I ended up having to erase and install from my CD. In the process i lost iPhoto (Im using SL).All of my photos are still on the iPhone under "events" but i am afraid to sync to the pictures folder and have them all get wiped. So, Any way you know to import iPhone events to the iMac?

I have 2 libraries in iPhoto on my iMac, one personal and one business. The library which currently shows in my iPhone is the business one. I would prefer it if it showed the personal one. I know how to change from one library to the other on my iMac but how do I do it on my iPhone?

Whilst my iphone quite happily connects to the internet via my router it cannot see my iMac hardwired to the same router. As a result since March 29th it has not been able to sync via wifi with itunes or sync to SOHO Notes and Daylite/Billings. All of whch worked brilliantly before.
In the iTunes WiFi sync pane on the phone Sync now is sometimes greyed out and other times it is vailable but when selecting sync now it states it is looking for my iMac and then it times out. From the Mac trying to re-pair SOHO notes and Daylite Touch the iMac cannot see the iphone as available on the same network.
