Airdrop not working between Mac and iOS

It sounds like the iPhone isn't detectable for AirDrop.
Check for these settings on the iPhone
- check that you are signed in to iCloud (Settings>iCloud)
- wifi on and connected to the same network as Mac
- Bluetooth on
- within 30 feet or so of computer
- Control Center- swipe from bottom of screen, tap AirDrop and make the phone discoverable by contacts or everyone

Give the Mac and phone a moment or two to see each other.

Hope this helps!

 

My Mac shows the phone and can drop stuff but phone can't see mac.

 

Take a look at this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6510 You need 10.10 Yosemite, wifi on both, Bluetooth on both and allow Airdrop on the phone -check the control center and try selecting "everyone". If this doesn't work, restart both the Mac and the phone.

 

didnt realise until i read that support article that macs older than 2012 can support mac to mac airdrop but not mac to iPad. which explains why i can't see my iPad in the window
