How Do I Download Airdrop To My Mac
When I try to use AirDrop to move a Live Photo from my iPhone 6s (iOS 10.2) to my MacBook (10.12.2), all that AirDrop transfers is the still image.
However, if I use a USB cable to move the Live Photo from my phone to my Mac, the Live Photo is preserved.
When I use AirDrop the photos automatically are sent to the Downloads folder. I don’t get an AirDrop window on the Mac that would allow me to “Open in Photos” as per the Apple Support website instructions for Live Photo transfer using AirDrop.
- AirDrop is a program that allows you to move files between devices wirelessly. This can come in handy when you want to transfer something, like a photo, from your iPhone to your Mac or to share.
- Check Device Compatibility. In order to use AirDrop, both sending and receiving devices need to be.
Apple AirDrop lets you transfer and share photos, videos, music files and other data with users who use AirDrop and are physically close to you. If for any reason you wish to turn off AirDrop on your Mac computer, following is the step by step process to do so.
Any ideas?
