Airdrop..?

[acctman]

has anyone successfully figured out how to use airdrop? both my mac mini and iphone are on the same network yet they're not discovering each other

I have not. I can not get it to work either.

AirDrop in iOS 7 is specifically iOS to iOS device, at least right now. It's possible Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks supports iOS 7 AirDrop (I have yet to install it to test), but as far as Mountain Lion and older, no support.

Airdrop is not going to work unless you find someone with IOS 7 Beta 1 as you. The function Airdrop on IOS 7 is similar to Samsung's S-Beam.

I got it to work between two iPhone 5s. It is a bit buggy, but it does work.

Really hope this feature will be able to be used over our cell service.

tested on two iphone 5 and it works only with "everyone" not contacts and it uses bluetooth turns on bluetooth and then turns it off when you want it off

it uses a combination of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct. Cellular Network connections are irrelevant.

when i turn it on it turns on bluetooth when i turn it off it turns off bluetooth so I think it uses bluetooth no?

So you can photobomb random strangers? I can see that not going over well...Sounds like fun though!

when you have it OPEN To all you can send but you can't send it unless you accept it

Ah ok thanks.

But doesn't it still show a preview even if they don't accept? Or maybe was I watching that wrong in the keynote, but that looked like what it did.

Except you don't have to walk around the room bumping phones with each other.

The best joke i have heard the entire keynote!!

the other person has to have OPEN for everyone. If you do they can send you a file but like is osx you have to accept it in order to get the file
