\t\t\t\tHave you ever experienced that the AirDrop doesn’t work while it definitely should work? Two computers cannot see each other?<\/p>\n

Ok, first check some cases – on both machines:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You have a Mac OS X Lion<\/strong> OS installed<\/li>\n
  2. wifi is turned on<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. both machines has to have an opened Finder<\/strong> window and the AirDrop<\/strong> should be selected<\/strong>. If you move the selection form AirDrop on any of the machines it breaks the connection.
    \nHow to select AirDrop: <\/p>\n
      \n
    1. It should be on the SideBar – open SideBar (View Menu). If it’s not there add it<\/li>\n
    2. Select it by mouse\/trackpad or keyboard: Cmd+Shift+R (works from almost everywhere in Lion)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If you checked everything and still cannot active (or select) the AirDrop than perhaps you have to enable it:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. open the terminal<\/li>\n
      2. type the following and press enter:\n
        defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
      3. restart AirDrop: Alt+Cmd+Esc – in the popup select Finder, press Relaunch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        I hope this will help for you.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
