That depends on the sub-models of the two devices, which we do not know. Older devises do not support Airdrop. It appears that iPads were not equipped for Airdrop until the iPad 4th Generation (Oct 2012). It was first used on MacBook Pros with the Late 2008 models.


You can identify your MacBook Pro sub-model by doing about this Mac:



You can identify you iPad from Settings > General > About:
