How can I AirDrop my photos and videos from my iPhone5 to my MacBook Pro Retina? iPhone 5 is running iOS7.
Macbook Pro is the 15" MacBook Pro Retina on Mavericks.

I have AirDrop enabled on both but the phone and Macbook don't see each other. Both keep searching, searching, searching ...

FYI, I have enabled Bluetooth and WiFi on both devices are also on the same WiFi network. There is also no firewall between them and they are within 2 feet of each other.

Apple tech is supposed to "just work" and it almost always does so intuitively but this one has me scratching my head. What is going on here?
With iOS 8 and OS X 10.10 Yosemite, you can share files over AirDrop between Mac and iOS.

With Mavericks and earlier, and iOS 7, this is not possible. AirDrop on iOS only works with "other nearby iOS 7 devices", and AirDrop on OS X only works "between supported Wi-Fi-enabled Macs" and they must "click the AirDrop icon on their computers".

iOS: Using AirDrop details the inability to share cross-platform:


  AirDrop for iOS supports only iOS 7 devices. You cannot use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.




AirDrop on OS X is detailed in OS X: Can I use AirDrop with my computer? and OS X Mountain Lion: Share your files with others near you (emphasis mine):


  AirDrop is one of the great new features of OS X Lion and later, which provides a really easy way to share files between supported Wi-Fi-enabled Macs without having to connect through the local Wi-Fi network.





  To see other people nearby, click the AirDrop icon in the sidebar of a Finder window. The other people must also click the AirDrop icon on their computers.


AirDrop on iOS is detailed in iOS: Using AirDrop (emphasis mine):


  AirDrop lets you share photos, videos, websites, locations, and more with other nearby iOS 7 devices.
