AirDrop system requirements To send items to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you need a 2012 or newer Mac model with OS X Yosemite or later, excluding the Mac Pro (Mid 2012). To send items to another Mac, you need: MacBook Pro (Late 2008) or newer, excluding the MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2008) MacBook Air (Late 2010) or newer MacBook (Late 2008) or newer, excluding the white MacBook (Late 2008) iMac (Early 2009) or newer Mac Mini (Mid 2010) or newer Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010) Thanks for all your help Sent from my iPad Air On 12 Jan 2016, at 17:04, [email protected] wrote: I think what they are saying is “If it’s on the Finder’s Go menu on the Macs in question then you can use AirDrop between them.
