I can't enable Handoff in El Capitan general settings #234

I used the Continuity-Activation-Tool and Airdrop work as expected. The only problem is that the option for enabling Handoff on my Mac doesn't appear at all

You need to provide more information such as your Mac model. Otherwise, it will be hard for anyone to give you any comments.

sorry. I'm pasting here the diagnostic of the tool. by the way before i used the version 2.1.3 of the tool and as I wrote before i had airdrop working. A while ago I uninstalled everything and applied the version 2.1.4 and now airdrop is not working anymore. Here is the last diagnostic.

The previous versions of CAT were not compatible with bluetooth dongles, please try the new version (2.2).

i tried and now airdrop is working again and i can enable handoff in the general settings but it's not working

franzipol commented 8 years ago

after logging out and in icloud and some reboots everything seems working. The only issue is with airdrop which at first worked flawlessy setting it for "contacts only" but now i have to let it to "everyone" but i don't think it's related to the tool but to something. Everything work as expected. Thank you very much
