Top Tips and Tricks For Your Mac
AirDrop lets you transfer files directly between
Apple devices, as long as they’re within 30
feet of each other. It’s available on a Mac from
the sidebar in Finder windows, from the Share
menu, and in Finder, via the Go pull-down menu.
If it’s not there, your Mac may be too old for
AirDrop. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth must be on.
On your Mac, you can drag and drop a file
onto a nearby device shown in the AirDrop
window or click on it after selecting AirDrop
from a Share menu. The person to whom you
sent it is then offered the file. When someone
sends you a file, using AirDrop, you can accept
or reject it. If you accept it, it’s saved to your
Downloads folder.
Note: to use AirDrop the two devices (Macs
or mobile devices) must be on the same wireless
network but don’t need to be signed into the
same Apple ID.Bluetooth is used to pair your Mac with devices such as
speakers, headphones, keyboards and mice, so data
can be transferred between them. First, the item you
wish to pair with must be put into Pairing Mode. To do
this, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, as supplied.
Open the Bluetooth preferences from the System
Preferences or Bluetooth menulet. The item you’re
trying to pair with should be shown here, along with
other devices that are already paired. Click on its
Connect button to pair the device with your Mac.
A paired device automatically connects with your
Mac when you switch it on; you don’t have to pair it
again. To unpair a device, open Bluetooth preferences
again and click on the item you wish to unpair. Click
on the ‘X’ to its right, and it’s unpaired and removed
from the list.Using
