airdrop

Has Apple added a file size limit to Airdrop with iOS/iPadOS 17? I used to be able to transfer 8 gigabyte sized folders between my devices on version 16, but with 17 they get declined or fail. This is frustrating for managed devices where I don't have the content on my macbook.

I no longer can receive files through Airdrop on mac mini. Everything was fine a few months ago. I can send, but I cannot receive. The settings are the same through all devices (mini, macbook Air, iPhone), and works on other two devices, but mac mini cannot receive, can only send. The...

I have had my beloved M1 Mac Mini since the spring of 2022. Rugged, dependable workhorse. I recently updated to MacOS Sonoma 14.1 from MacOS Ventura 13. Unfortunately, there was an immediate side-effect: AirDrop started acting up. This happened before, but not recently. Here's how it goes...

If I use airdrop to send a PDF from one device (iPhone or iPad) to another, when I select Accept I no longer can select which app should receive the file. PDF files automatically get sent to iCloud Drive. Airdrop did not behave this way in iOS 16. Is there any fix for this behavior?

Hi Apple friends. How does one have an image on these generic 'stickman' photos on AirDrop for both macOS and iOS: Thanks in advance. Have a good & blessed weekend.

Hi guys, Can you please check if AirDrop works between your iOS/iPadOS 17 devices and macOS Monterey 12.6.9 (21G726)? Ever since updating Monterey a few days ago my MBP is no longer seen in the AirDrop window. Not sure if it is iOS or macOS related, though, so will post it in both. 🤔 Update...

Anyone else having this issue on 13.4? My iPhone XR will not see my new M2 Ultra Mac Studio for Airdrop or Handoff. Using the iPhone as a FaceTime camera works perfectly and the iPhone is running the latest 16.5 iOS. I know AirDrop is working on my iPhone because it sees my wife's iPhone just...

I’m travelling and using an Airalo eSIM and airdropping has stopped working and everything is set up ‘right’. * Bluetooth & wifi is on * Person I want to send to is in my contact list * The person shows up and is selected and then it just ‘waits’ * It’s always worked before * Airdrop...

Hello Mac friends, w/ the iPhone's and iMac's Bluetooths ON, their Airdrops can see each other, I can also copy paste to and from between them but when I drag a PDF to the iPhone Airdrop on the iMac nothing happens, it's not in the Files app nor any app; or when I use Share to send a photo to...

I'm posting this only because it seems so baffling and because someone else might run in to the same thing. This morning my wife needed to access an iCloud file from her MBA still on Catalina 10.15.7. The original file was on her M1 iMac sitting right next to the MBA and connected to the same...

HELP!! Like a million other people, I was struggling with the whole AirDrop "waiting" went thru every fix in the book, nothing worked. So, I started to try everything ah-gain. (Before I continue-I'd like to address some things 1st; yes my device supports airdrop; I literally just used Airdrop...

I have noticed that Wi-Fi on macOS Ventura has high jitter. This affects any real-time application. It is common for latency (ping) to spike to spike from a normal 2-10ms to nearly 200ms. This has happened in 13.0 and now 13.1. The only fix so far has been to disable AWDL; which is used by...

=====AIREDROP===== • My new M1 MBA [Monterey] sees my iPhone 8+ in Airdrop and the iPhone sees the M1... all works great. • My 2011 MBA [High Sierra] sees my iMac 2011 [High Sierra] in Airdrop and my iMac 2011 sees my MBA 2011... all works fine. However, my M1 MBA doesn't see either 2011 Macs...

I've had issues with apps in Big Sur freezing when I go to airdrop a file using the share function. I have the last Gen Intel Macbook Pro 13". Was this issue ever fixed in Monterrey? I recently downgraded to Catalina (what a nightmare that process was) because I couldn't get my 2015 Wacom...

Hi. Just received my MacBook Pro (M1, 2021) but when I airdrop something from my iPhone or iPad to Mac it is so slow, it takes up to 40 seconds to start sending files and transfer is not as fast as my previous Mac, however that doesn’t happen when I airdrop from Mac to other devices. I...

Hi, This is subtle and confusing issue. I bought a new 14" MBP to replace my aging 2015 13" MBP back in November. However, since then, iCloud features in Safari have been intermittent to unusable. iCloud tabs do not work, at all. The Reading List syncs intermittently and incompletely. Handoff...

MY HARDWARE: Late-2013 iMac Core i5, running MacOS Mojave (recently clean-installed) FAMILY HARDWARE: 2013 MacBook Pro 13-inch Core i5, running MacOS Mojave (recently installed) Prior to updating the MacOS, these two machines would interact via AirDrop without issue. They are both set to be...

I've been experiencing an Airdrop issue for quite a while now. It sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. The issue happens when the MacBook is connected to an external monitor. When I click Airdrop the airdrop window will popup with the devices available shown. However, you can't click on any...

My elderly parents own a late-2013 MacBook Pro. Yesterday, I updated the laptop from MacOS 10.12.6 Sierra to 10.14 Mojave. Since that time, I cannot reliably get AirDrop to work. Other devices do not see the laptop. AirDrop was working fine before installing Mojave. Any ideas on how to get...
