Dear Aunt TUAW,
I want to use AirDrop between my older iMac and my new MacBook Air. How can I do this? They're both running Lion but AirDrop is only enabled on the MBA.
Your loving nephew,
Fredrik
Dear Fredrik,
You can enable AirDrop for many older Lion systems at the Terminal command line. Enter:
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1
After setting the defaults, you'll need to restart Finder:
killall Finder
Once you do, you should be able to use AirDrop on your local Wi-Fi network. Auntie is currently using AirDrop fr
