[QUOTE="mzkworks, post: 1840104, member: 403803"] Hello guys. So I have this issue for a while and I can't fix it and I desperately need help. I can't transfer files from my devices to my Mac via Airdrop. The devices can't discover the MacBook. [I]iPhone 11 / iPad Pro 12.9 (3th gen) / MacPro 15 mid 2015 — All using latest OS[/I] [LIST] [*]I have no trouble transferring between iPhone and iPad. All works fine and fast. [*]I notices that sometimes Mac become visible only when I turn on BOTH iPhone and iPad. But Macbook disappears after a while. [*]Sometimes MacBook finds the devices after a while, sometimes finds only one of the devices. But quickly looses them after that. [*]Also in the rare occasions that I make it work, when sending files the progress bar stops on various occasions as if the connection has dropped and sometimes it continuous, sometimes the transfer just fails. [*]MacBook discovers one of my colleges MacBooks on another networks, but doesn't discover the MacBooks of other colleagues on the same network. [*]I've tried signing out from iCloud on MacBook and iPad (iPhone is relatively new so didn't try signing it out) [*]I've tried turning off and on wifi & Bluetooth on mac [*]I've reset PRAM and SMC on mac [*]All settings and permission are properly set on all devices [*]The firewall is turned off on mac [*]I'm using only one iCloud account on all devices [*]All devices are in the same network. [*]I've tried restarting all devices. [/LIST] Guys has anyone had a similar problem? Any other ideas on how to solve this? Thank you [/QUOTE]
