  One possible solution is to reset the network settings on your Mac. Go to System Preferences, then Network, and click on the Advanced button. From there, you can reset the network settings and see if that resolves the issue. Make sure to restart your computer after resetting the network settings.

  Another solution is to check if airdrop is enabled on both your Mac and the device you're trying to airdrop to. On your Mac, go to Finder, then click on Airdrop in the sidebar. Make sure the option 'Allow me to be discovered by' is set to 'Everyone' or 'Contacts Only'. On the other device, make sure airdrop is enabled and set to receive files from your Mac.

  If the above solutions don't work, it's possible that there may be a compatibility issue between your Mac and the device you're trying to airdrop to. In this case, you can try using a different device or contacting Apple support for further assistance. They may be able to provide more specific troubleshooting steps based on your specific setup.
