FREE Alternative for AirDrop between Mac and iOS
Hello, I also had a problem with AirDrop between my MacBook Air (running Mac OS X Mavericks) and my iPhone 5 (running iOS 7.0.2). I also understand that AirDrop for iOS isn't available on the iPhone 4s, iPhone 4, iPad 3, and iPad 2. In a search to find a great alternative, I did end up finding an app called DeskConnect, which is FREE and runs great on Mac and iDevices (and not just iOS 7 or Mac OS X Mavericks).
DeskConnect (links below) allows users to transfer Photos, Documents, Websites, and even Clipboards between any Mac or iDevice. And even better, they don't have to be within range of each other, like what AirDrop requires. You can be in California on vacation and taking pictures, and as long as you are logged into DeskConnect on your destination device, you're set! You can send files between multiple devices at the same time as well. Though not all AirDrop features are available with DeskConnect, DeskConnect still comes packed with features that aren't available with AirDrop.
Here is the Mac App Store link:

Here is the link to the app on the iTunes Store (for iPod, iPhone, & iPad):
