Guys, do you have issue with the AirDrop between iPhone and iMac? With any iOs 9 and with any OS X 10.10 and 10.11 - both devises cannot see each other. While, between both iPhones - 6+ and 6s+ -- all is fine.
 
Guys, thanks to an advise of one user from another forum, I fixed the issue:
So, the problem is that there was no (automatically assigned) iCloud account - "Me" with my phone and email. I have my own full name n the contacts , but it is not named just "Me". So, I set/add new iCloud contact and named it just "Me" and add my phone and AppleID email. And voila - The iMac and iPhone start "seeing" each other and the AirDrop is working now as a charm.. Obviously this is a iOs bug (missing the Me contact )

That didn't work for me. 🙁
 
Do you have El Capitan and iOS9?

Yes, no betas and both are up to date.

Edit: I've just checked my other Mac which is still running Yosemite and the "Me" contact appeared straight away. I guess it's just a semi-fix for now. 😕
