software tab does not appear in settings on ipad - how do I update software

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.

" mirror tab" does not appear on menu in Android beta version, as described in help topic on mirroring a webpage on tv via Chromecast..

Downloaded Firefox Beta for Android because I read about its support for Chromecast. I'm running Android ver. 4.2.1 on an ASUS TF700t tablet. I get that the Firefox menu is hidden because my tablet has a 3-dot menu, which I can access via Tools on the device menu. But Mirror Tab does not appear on the Tools menu.
Thanks

Hi joelgibbs,
Thank you for your question. This is something that we are still working on. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1084128 Keep track of progress] but keep in mind [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html]

You have to update AA XI to work with AA 2013. You may also have to open the OFFICE tools and enable the add-ons. There is no tool in some of the OFFICE applications. You can check the list in the PDF Maker folder in Acrobat.

CHARM Tab does not appears -- solution manager

Hi Experts,
I want to configured CHARM but in tx SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN in System Landscape -- Change Request Tab does not appear
Also tx solar01 is locked! the project doc for example . But in scope a have not checked the link.
Any clue?

Hello,
In SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN are you creating a project or runing an analysis?
The Analysis screen is not tabbed, it is a tree.
Change request management apears under Solution.
When you create a project, there is not a Change Management Tab.
So are you refering to creating the project or performing the Analysis?
Regards,
Paul

Calendar tab does not appear in iTunes iPod preferences

The calendar and contacts tab does not appear when I go to preferences in iTunes with my iPod is attached. I am running 10.3.9. I have rebuilt permissions and trashed prefs. Are the tabs a 10.4 feature? They seemed to be a part of iTunes 5 so I suspect they should be there. I have read about using iSync on the posts but would prefer it happen automatically when I plug my new iPod in. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Quote from the page below "If you are using Mac OS 10.3.9 or earlier, you cannot use iTunes to sync contacts and calendars to iPod"
You can check out the page for details: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301374

Formula bar does not appear in Numers on iPad

Formula bar does not appear in numbers in iPad 1. Tapping twice only numerical keys appear. Search net and could not find solution. Deleted and then downloaded numbers to no avail. Works fine on iPhone.

when you double tap, you will first see the numerical keys, now look to the left of where the numbers show up, above teh numeric keypad. There are four "buttons". the number 42 is highlighted, this indicates numeric entry. the others are a clock (for date/time entry), the capital Letter T (for text entry) and an equal sign (for formula/equation entry). Tap the appropriate one to get the data entry type you require. If in formulas, you will see the four buttons collapse down to "...". to save space. just tap that button to return to the four.

Apple software updates does not appear to do its automatic checks?

I have itunes installed on two almost identical Windows 7 based PC's and I have noticed that on one PC the Apple Software Updates do not appear to do its job by checking for updates automatically. If I run the software manually it will show if an update is available and allow me to install it but I never seem to get prompted automatically by Apple Software Updates even though its set to check weekly. My other PC does prompt. Both PC's have pretty much exactly the same software installed including firewall. Any reason why this would not appear to be working? Any way of checking if its actually carrying out the checks?

The reason I suggested moving the files to the Desktop is because if none of these files are responsible for the problem, you can then put them back--or at least put back the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file, which would have many things in it besides the setting for Software Update. If it is the cause of the problem it would be a good idea to replace it and redo your settings. But if it is NOT causing a problem you would not want to figure out what all needs to be reset, instead you can put the old one back. The two plists from the ByHosts folders can probably just be trashed, and new ones created when you reset preferences for Software Update, although the scheduler might do something else (I don't have many things on auto schedule so I don't know, the only thing in mine is Software Update settings).

Folder does not appear in keynote on iPad after syncing

After syncing a keynote file through iTunes, it appears in iTunes on my mac book pro but the folder of imported files does not appear in keynote on my iPad. I have tried creating file names with no spaces and using .key suffix, no joy. any ideas?
Thanks

you dont see that folder. It is a holding place for files. you import into the app using the "copy from itunes" command in the main file view of the app. (the little button that looks like an arrow pointing into an empty box will bring it up.)
Your just copying from that folder you see in itunes. I use it as a location to "back up" my work as well. just "send to itunes" and you have a copy of your current state in the folder.

Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
An iPad 1 will update to iOS 5.1.1, and an iPad 2 and 3 to iOS 6.0.1 (the first gen iPad doesn't support iOS 6). If it is an iPad 2 or 3 then iOS 6 will remove the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change - though google have app versions in the store.
