AirDrop not showing up in control center on iPad

Why doesn't airdrop show up in control center on my iPad?

You can download a free app from the App Store called Instashare. It will allow you to share files between idevices wirelessly similar to Airdrop. It will work on a iPad 3 as I have it and use it. I think Airdrop would be much better but at least it's something besides emailing links or attachments.

    Just do not update the iOS on the iPod. The only time you have to update is if the iPod has a problem and you have to restore via iTunes. Apple set up iTunes such that when you restore, the iPod is automatically updated to the latest iOS version for that iPod

  • Why is airdrop not even visible on control center on my iphone 5?

    I have an Iphone 5 that has IOS 7 on It. I've read that the Iphone 5 has the capability to have airdrop, but it isn't on the control center. Any answers?

    iOS: Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content
    I assume that you're on wifi and have Bluetooth turn on and the person you want to airdrop with has an iphone 5 or higher and is also connected to the same wifi and has Bluetooth turn on.

  • Trackpad option not showing up when controlling AppleTV with iPad

    I just linked my iPad with my apple tv (1st gen). I´ve been controlling my Apple TV with my iPhone without any problems. Connecting the iPad was not a problem. But when I launch choose AppleTV within the remote app, I just get access to my library. The trackpad option does not show up. Without the trackpad, the remote app is useless. Anybody had this problem or know if there is a solution? I have watched a few videos on youtube, but I never got the original choice between how to controll my Apple TV, and the trackpad icon does not show up in the buttom right corner.

    A few days after I had my problem, I tried again - and everything was working!  I had not done anything in the meantime.  It is possible I restarted the iPad, but I did not at least make a manuall restart of the Apple TV nor my airport.

  • Why are Facebook notifications not showing up in Notification Center?

    On OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Facebook account is setup in Internet Accounts preference pane in System Preferences.
    Facebook is configured in Notifications preference pane in System Preferences.
    The Share Buttons widget is configured in Notifications preference pane in System Preferences.
    When I view my Facebook account via my web browser I usually have notifications available, but these notifications are not showing up in Notification Center.
    I do receive Calendar, Mail, etc. notifications in Notification Center so I know it works.
    I can send posts to Facebook via the Share Buttons widget in Notification Center, but presently I can receive nothing from Facebook..
    Anyone know of a solution to this problem?
    Thanks!  
    P.S. I read in another thread how Facebook can be setup in iMessage, but I don't want to use iMessage if I can get Notification Center to function properly.

    I got it to work yesterday. I tried none of the advice from discussions dealing with changing settings, enabling/disabling accounts, terminal commands, etc. All I did was ask a Facebook friend to respond to a post, and I was able to see the notifications in Notification Center.
    I know most have their settings configured correctly in System Preferences, but this is how my preferences are configured on OS X Mavericks 10.9.3:
    (1) Internet Accounts preference pane:
    There isn't much to configure here. I signed into my Facebook account. I checked or unchecked the Calendar and Contacts selections. It doesn't matter. I left the Description, found in the Details button window, as Facebook, but it doesn't matter, either.
    (2) Notifications preference pane:
    Facebook alert style is set to Banners, but Alerts will also work just fine. This setting is crucial because if it's set to None, no alerts will be received. I left Show notifications on lock screen unchecked, but it doesn't matter if I check it or not. And I put a check mark in Show in Notification Center, and the number of Recent Items can be set to whatever available setting desired, mine is set to 20 Recent Items.
    (3) Notifications preference pane:
    I placed a check mark on Show share button notifications in Notification Center, which is found when Share Button is selected in the list of notifications like Facebook, Calendar, Mail etc.
    Again, I did nothing else, and it just works. As a side note: before I got it to work I called AppleCare and a senior advisor spent considerable time with me trying to find out why it wasn't working. And his last bit of advice was that I should reinstall the OS. He needs retraining because that bit of advice was ill-advised, to say the least.
    I simply had no experience with receiving Facebook notifications in Notification Center 'on OS X', and the AppleCare employees had no training in this area, but if Notification Center is part of OS X, and Facebook notifications are part of Notification Center training in this area should be standard, but the AppleCare employees were guessing, not advising, which certainly is not technical support. Hence, my AppleCare dollars were not at work as expected.
    So without prior knowledge as to how the specifics of 'Facebook' notifications worked in Notification Center on OS X, my assumption was I would be notified each time someone tagged me, someone liked a comment, post or photo of mine, someone commented on one of my posts, or someone sent me a direct message.
    When I asked one of my Facebook friends to help me test it out, the following occurred (I don't remember if I had Safari up and running at this time - Note: I was signed into Facebook via Safari. I say this because AppleCare employees did explain on OS X some applications must be launched in order to received notifications, which in my mind is wasted time and code for Apple developers. Why offer notifications if the application is already launched? Ridiculous, if you ask me. That's what configuring each applications preference to set badge app icons, if it's not already coded by default.):
    (1) I sent a Facebook post via Notification Center using the Facebook Share Button.
    (2) I communicated with one of my Facebook friends by private message via iOS device and asked for a response to the post I sent.
    (3) My Facebook friend responded to my private message, but I don't remember if I received a notification in Notification Center.
    (4) My Facebook friend liked my post, shared my post, and commented on my post. I received two separate notifications in Notification Center on OS X, yet I received notifications on Facebook for all three actions, seen via iOS device. By the way, I wish Notification Center notifications would stay in Notification Center until we manually remove them. If they did stay until we manually remove them I would have time to find out which action of my friend I was received the notification for in Notification Center.
    That's it!

  • Satellite A100-237: I do not have the Catalyst Control Center after driver installation

    Hello,
    I use a Satellite A100-237 laptop. 1.83 GHz Core Duo, Ati Mobility Radeon X1600 512MB Hypermemory, 1.5GB DDR2 RAM.
    My laptop now seems to use only the own 256 MB RAM (Graphic card's own RAM).
    I purchased Need for Speed Carbon and installed it to my laptop.
    When I tried to open the game, a blue screen appeared for less than 1 seconds, and than system restarted. Windows said that that was a critical error and a driver stopped Windows XP to operate, therefore system is restarted.
    I searched in the net for this problem and, people said that, when they updated the driver the problem is solved.
    I downloaded Display driver 8.241 (download file name: display_xp-8241.zip) from toshiba-europe.com.
    Driver installed but while installing ATI Catalyst Control Center, at a point the installation process stoped continuing. I had to end the task after a while.
    It said that driver is installed and system must be restarted.
    Now the game works, thats not the problem, however I do not have the Catalyst Control Center. (Where I recently use it for connecting other screens to my laptop)
    How can I solve this problem?
    Sorry for long letter,
    Thanks for helps.

    You may run the driver installer again, use the custom installation option and select Catalyst Control Center only. Alternatively, you may remove the entire driver and try re-installing again. I suggest you also download the notebook driver package from ATI's website instead of Toshiba, as their drivers are usually more up-to-date (although it might be less safe to use them, I don't know).
    And BTW, I have the same notebook and I have failed to see an option to set the machine to use the VRAM *only* instead of borrowing from RAM whenever necessary. Any ideas?

  • I want to backup my iphone to my macbook. This option is not showing in the control click list

    I want to backup my iphone to my macbook. This option is not showing in the control click list

    You mean with the same iCloud account?
    If so, yes this is possible by accessing the iCloud account with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPad and iPhone Mail app. This allows for keeping server stored email account mailboxes synced between all three, syncing contacts, calendar events, notes, and Reminders synced between all three, and the same with the iCloud Photo Stream. In addition, you can have music, books, and apps purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store with one device automatically downloaded on the other devices.

  • AirPlay icon is not showing up on either of my ipads.

    I just got Apple TV today. Was excited to use airplay and the icon does not show up on either of my iPads. I have looked through all of the troubleshooting. Everything is wirelessly connected to my same home Internet. All devices are updated, I rebooted both iPads and the router. It will work on iTunes on my desktop but not the iPads. I even turned off the fiirewall. I am super frustrated at this point for spending all of this money and it doesn't work!! Please help me if you can!!

    Have you activated restrictions for the app in Settings/General/Restrictions?

  • Applications Installed through task sequence not showing up in Software Center

    In the task sequence we use for our OSD Windows 7 machine build, we have Custom-Install Application steps which install a number of of our Applications.  Each of these Applications has the "Allow this application to be installed from the Install
    Application task sequence action without being deployed" checkbox checked.  All of the Applications have the following properties set:
    Installation behavior: Install for system
    Logon requirement: Whether or not a user is logged in
    Installation program visibility: Hidden
    When a machine is built using this task sequence, all of the Applications install successfully - they show up in Control Panel\Programs and Features, and they run correctly. However, none of them show up in the Software Center. I'm not seeing anything in
    any of the logs that indicates a problem, and the Software Center remains empty even after running all the client evaluation cycle actions  
    Interestingly, if I add a couple of the newly build machines to a collection, then target deployments for the already installed Applications to that collection, after running the Machine Policy Retrieval and Evaluation Cycle the Applications immediately
    show up in Software Center as installed.
    Does anyone know if Applications installed through a task sequence do not show up in the Software Center by default, or could you give me some troubleshooting tips if this is not normal?
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Why you deploy applications through task sequences? Task sequences are built and meant to be used with OSD, not application deployment.
    To my knowledge, if you have application install step in a task sequence and you deploy that task sequence to a collection of machines, the software center on those machines only sees the task sequence itself, not the applications inside the task sequence.
    If you want your applications to be shown in the software center, change the method of deploying stuff and deploy applications as they're are meant to.

  • How do I get AirDrop to appear in the Control Center?

    When I swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center I do not have an AirDrop button. Also if I try to share a photo I do not have an option to share via AirDrop.  AirDrop works on my iPad Mini but I cannot find any differences in settings on my iPhone that would explain why it does not work there. any ideas?

    OK so I just found a page that says that the iPhone 4S does not support AirDrop even though it will runs iOS 7.  So that explains the issue. But boo!

  • My play and skip button will not work on the control center and lock screen

    For the first few days I had iOS 7, everything worked fine. Now the Control Center and lock screen will not play, pause, or skip through my music or iTunes Radio. It works fine within music but I would prefer not to have to unlock my phone every time I want to skip a song. Anyone having this issue/know of a way to fix it?

    I didn't have that problem, but I had many others. I've always been a fan of Apple but I'm really disappointed with the latest updates. iOS 7 is full of bugs, the worst being in my music app. It crashes, both in my iPhone 5 and iPad 4, it keeps autosyncings songs from the cloud I don't want (and I can't get them erased), plays a song, but shows a different song, to name just a few... I hope they fix this asap, cause that's really annoying me.

  • Mail notification not showing up in "Notification Center"

    I have few emails configured with Mail but when a new mail arrives it does not show up in the notification center.
    The notification center settings for "Mail" is set up as Alerts correctly.
    Should I make the "Mail" to start automatically after login??

    I am having the exact same problem. I've had a bit of issues setting up my Exchange account and get iCal to work properly, so ended up deleting my Exchange account and setting it up again. Before, emails showed in Notifications, now they don't, even when Mail's up and running. I've got my computer set up to show the last 10 items. I would appreciate any help anyone could proivde.
    Thanks

  • Reminders not showing up in Notification Center (iOS7)

    Having an issue wherein my Reminders are not showing up in the Notification Center.  Reminders are syncing just fine between my Mac and iOS apps, but, for some strange reason, they are not making it over into NC.  I have no problems with Calendar Events, Weather and Stock info showing up here, only Reminders (and, yes, I do have Reminders turned on in Settings>Notification Center).  Anyone else having this problem?

    I am having a similar problem with reminders. If I add an event on the phone it will show up in Reminders, but events that are on my MBP are not showing up in Reminders on the phone but are showing up in iCloud when i log on to the website. Very strange since they were all working fine before today.
