Do you think with Maverick that you will be able to use air drop with ios systems?
Probably not. As I say in the video, the two OSes handle "files" very differently.
Gary, Air Drop does not show up on the control panel when I slide up on my iPhone or iPad It only shows AirPlay.
Perhaps your device does not support it. Which models do you have?
This was helpful to me, a neophyte. Exclamation point above my head inside a lightbulb, "ohhhhh."
Hi Gary, I just seen your video about airdrop. When I pull up my controlcentre I can only see the Airplay logo but I don't see the Airdrop logo. I own an iPhone 4S with the latest OSX
I mention in the video: you need the iPhone 5 or newer.
Find it hard to see why technically only the latest phones work. Yes, the transfer may not be quite as fast but that is not a valid reason to disable this feature. Can you unearth the technical reason?
It isn't about speed. The wifi chips inside the device must be able to support a direct connection between two devices. The older chips do not have this ability. Apple actually started putting the newer chips into iOS devices about a year before AirDrop became available, but they could not go back in time and put them in devices that already existed.
