    Airdrop activation

    Just had the occurrence to use AirDrop for the first time. After battling to get it in Finder on my MacBook Air, I couldn't get it activated so that other Macs could see it. Can anyone help please.

    Exchanging files between Macs

    Hello Apple users Since most Mac users here have multiple devices that perform many functions in various places, what methods do you use to save, exchange and sync files during your busy day? Please state the method, OSXs and Apple product you are using to exchange files.

    Puzzling AirDrop issue

    I love AirDrop. It's the best thing ever. For work I frequently have to move documents or photos from my phone to my MBP, or occasionally send documents from my MBP to someone else's. I use it many times a day, and it almost always works flawlessly. That is, unless I'm trying to send/receive...

    Bluetooth transfer to PC

    Is there a way to transfer files (photos, videos, etc.) wirelessly from an iphone 7 plus to a windows 10 PC and vice versa (without using airdrop, itunes, and wifi). Only using bluetooth (like how many android phones do by paring devices).

    Photos "convert" before airdropping to iMac

    Hi, I'm a photographer and naturally am now sometimes using my iPhone 7 Plus as my go-to camera when I'm not hauling my Canon. I already have an organisation/folder/Lightroom catalogue structure on my iMac, and I care about EXIF data. For editorial/journalism topics, in particular, date and...

    AirDrop Not Auto-Accepting

    AirDrop on my Mac has stopped auto-accepting drops from my iPhone and now requires I approve them each time. I thought it was suppose to accept them from your own devices if signed in from the same iCloud account? It certainly use to. Suggestions on how to remedy this?

    AirDropping

    Hi everyone, I'm new here and not very IT savvy. I understand that AirDropping uses peer-to-peer technology. If this is being done at work does it also use company resources (WIFI)? I'm trying to work out whether employees can AirDrop during their lunch breaks without a burden to company...

    Conversion required when airdropping pics/vids in iOS 11 to other iOS 11 devices?

    Aidropping photos and videos takes an eternity for me now. Last night I sent 3 short videos I had taken on my iPhone X. The videos were HEVC, 4K 60fps, and about 10 seconds long each. When I sent them, it took 8 minutes to go through “converting” them. In the early days of iOS 11, converting...

    Video Files Destroyed on iPhone & Fractured on iPad

    This might belong in the iPad section, but it involves both, as far as I can tell. I spent yesterday at a private showing of the Blue Angels prior to their show, and I took quite a few videos on my iPhone 6. Got back to the hotel room and watched the videos on the iPhone. They were fabulous...
