If you’re getting an error “Cannot receive all of these items at the same time”, then it means you tried to transfer more than one file type together. With AirDrop, your files need to be the same type if you’re sending them all at the same time. For example, transfer all of your .DOCX files at once and then in a separate transfer, you can send your .TXT files. If your Mac is older, you may need to switch to legacy mode before you AirDrop. You can do this by clicking the “Don’t see who you’re looking for, If you’re having other problems and that you can’t get around, then you may want to try a versatile AirDrop alternative: iMyFone TunesMate. This is iPhone transfer software that can help you transfer all kinds of files easily between iPhone and computers, and between iPhone and iTunes. Transfer almost any kind of file, including music, movies, photos, videos, playlists, albums, podcasts, audiobooks, and more. Phone to iTunes (it support multi-file transferring). Airdrop media files from iPhone to Mac, or from Mac to iPhone, including purchases and non-purchases.
Airdrop files even in different networks and different Apple IDs. Step 1: Download and install TunesMate to your Mac. Plug your iPhone into your Mac and open up TunesMate. Step 2: In TunesMate’s main screen, you can head to “Transfer iDevice Media to iTunes” and transfer all the media files from iPhone to iTunes library at once.

Export to Mac. Browse for the place on your hard drive where you would like to drop the files and click Select Folder. As you can see, this is a lot easier. You don’t need a network connection and it’s also less prone to bugs and issues than AirDrop. TunesMate also works with nearly all modern Macs and iOS devices.
Toggling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth can help, but be careful on a Mac: if you turn off Bluetooth you may disable your keyboard and mouse! For Macs, just go to System Preferences, Network and turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. On an iOS device, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap the Airplane mode to turn off all wireless, then tap it again to turn everything back on. Note that this will disconnect your Apple Watch (if you have one) and, if you've set the Watch to mirror settings, you may need to to the Watch's wireless back on. Try rebooting your Mac and then logging back in. On your iOS device, hold down the power button until you get the 'Slide to power off' option. Use the slider and, when your device is fully off, press and hold the button to turn it back on. From an iPhone, you can also refresh the memory, forcing it start clean and fresh. Follow our refresh your iPhone guide. On an iOS device, you've got a more nuclear option. This one's annoying, as it resets all of your Wi-Fi settings, forgetting all of your saved passwords. However, if you really can't get AirDrop working, it's worth a try. Go to Settings, General, Reset. Tap Reset Network Settings and, if prompted, enter your device's security code. Tap Reset Network Settings to confirm. You'll now need to rejoin your wireless network, but AirDrop should hopefully work now.
