![]() The same situation persists in High Sierra. Ergo, if you manage to make the Mac Pro 3,1 work in Sierra, you'll have Handoff if your hardware allows it, whereas a more advanced Mac Pro 5,1, with the same hardware, won't have Handoff unless that value is modified to "" (in theory, the same effect can probably be achieved by entirely removing the Mac-F221BEC8 entry from said file). Ominously, the "ContinuitySupport" boolean field has the value "". Being unsupported, the Mac Pro 3,1 board id is NOT included in said file, but the Mac Pro 5,1 one is. The Mac Pro 3,1 (board-id Mac-F42C88C8) is NOT supposed to be capable of running macOS Sierra, whereas the Mac Pro 5,1 (board-id Mac-F221BEC8) is.Īlthough the BRCM4360 BT module provided full Handoff/Continuity capabilities out of the box on both machines in OS X El Capitan, things changed in macOS Sierra, because Apple decided to include in /System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/Resources/ist a list of Sierra-SUPPORTED machines that are NOT supposed to be capable of handling Handoff. Many thanks for your think I know why your experience is different from mine, despite the fact that our BT modules are the same (and both purchased from the same vendor). I didn't even have to restart the computer (SIP was off). The only way I could make it work was with the Continuity Application Tool. I tried everything I could think of for months: exiting iCloud, shutting down the computer and my iPhone, or the iPhone and then the computer, logging back into iCloud, you name it. ![]() Naturally, Universal Clipboard and Apple Watch Unlock didn't work either. All the indications would still show they OUGHT TO be working, but they weren't. However, as soon as I upgraded to Sierra, Instant Hotspot and Handoff simply stopped working. In my case, everything related to Continuity/Handoff worked out of the box in El Capitan. Not only is the module's identifier the same, but all the values presented by System Information are exactly the same to the last detail. Many thanks for your Bluetooth setup is identical to my own. I can't do it now, as this is a production machine. I wonder if Sierra is more stringent in its internal checks with a 5,1 than with a 3,1?!?īe that as it may, I still don't know if I'll lose Handoff again when I upgrade to High Sierra. The only thing that differs in your setup and mine is the computer itself.
