Find my laptop and desktop not working from my phone (offline etc)

i feel like i have tried to read up on this eight or nine times and was looking at this again today.
is there a way to find my MACBOOKPRO or my Mac Pro from my IPHONE 5?
i have icloud set up on all my devices and i can get on to iCloud and see my iphone from my laptop (for instance) but when i try and log in to ICLOUD WEBSITE from my iPHone it asks me if i want to set up this device.
if i check in Settings > iCloud i see that i am in fact logged in.
if i click on the APPLICATION on my iPhone it shows me my PHone ("this device") but it says that my Laptop and my Desktop are "offline" even thought they are online (for instance i am posting to this forum now...).
can anyone help me with what i am missing here?
thanks
jon

Hi jybravo70,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may be experiencing issues on your non iOS 8 devices because iOS 8 is required to set up or join a Family Sharing group.
The following information is located in the print at the bottom of the article.
Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing.
Have a great day,
Joe

Lost the installation when laptop and desktop were worked on

How do I recover a lost installation of Abobe Acrobat XI Pro after both laptop and desktop were worked on?

Hi PAPilot,
You can download Acrobat 11 Pro from: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
and use the purchased serial number to activate the software.

The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end.

The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I've tried it multiple times and continue to get the same message: "NOT FOUND The requested item could not be found". I also tried through the Market application on the phone but ended-up with the same result.
I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end. If this is the case then no one can download the app. I considered that perhaps because it's still in Beta that it was removed due to some other type of software issue. I would really like to use Firefox on my new Droid (2.0); when with this be available?

Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

CC and BCC not working from Send Email

Greetings....I have a problem with adding CC's and BCC's to my send email triggers...they send to the TO field properly every time but never send to teh CC or the BCC fields. I've seen posts about this in the old MX Collection forums...but the only solution any ever comes up with is that its an issue with the mail server at the hosting provider.
Can anyone definitively tell me what the issue usually is and how to find out whats not working and find a solution.
This is a very important function to have work with many different hosting companies for anyone trying to successfully use ADDT.
Any help is much appreciated!

Home sharing between windows 7 laptop and iPad not working

I have looked everywhere for an answer but haven't been able to come up with a solution yet.
So my problem is that I had to get my Samsung laptop (Win7) rebooted after a virus. Before doing so, I connected by iPad by USB to transfer my music. I couldn't use home sharing because my Win7 laptop was infected with a virus that wouldn't let me access the internet.
After the reboot, I connected home sharing to try and retrieve my music on my main computer.
I am very familiar with home sharing and have used it previously with other computers.
My iPad recognizes my laptop and I am able to access the library through my iPad; but on my laptop, the ipad doesn't show up on home sharing.
I cannot transfer back my music via USB either, it treats it like an iPod and won't let me put it back.
I have restarted EVERYTHING, restarted both devices, and relogged in - and no luck.
My laptop is my main computer and I'm dying to get my music back on it!
Does anyone have any solution to this problem?
Especially if I don't have to download something

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It isn't homesharing that allows iTunes on your PC to see your iPad when connected. You will likely get better answers to your questions in the iTunes for windows community.

DTMF is not working from IP Phone

Hi,
We have CUCM cluster of 5 servers and 2 Cisco 3945 routers with SIP Link for calls. This is a new deployment. When we try outbound calls from the IP Phone registered to the cluster DTMF is not recognizing.the call gets connected but not DTMF.
We have software MTP'''s assigned to MRG and MRGL. In the CUCM GW configuration page, MRGL is selected and MTP checkbox is enabled.a
Anything im missing or doing wrong.. please advise.

Have you tried without MTP? You should not need it for every call, if you do then your deployment is very handicapped as all calls need to traverse the MTP.
Is DTMF not working for PSTN outbound calls only? How about internal i.e. voicemail?
What protocol are you using to control the GW, SIP/H323/MGCP?

Print Preview and Export not working FROM ALV Report

Hi
I have this ALV report which is working fine. But when I try to do a print preview it doesn't show the columns which r sorted. The columns r there but the data starts from the one which is not sorted so the layout is all messed up. In the ALV report the columns that r sorted groups them into one, I mean they just show only one time rest of the row for the same thing is blank it doesn't repeat the same data in those column. I am not sure whether that's causing it or not.
Please help.

Hi Anwarul,
do not sort passing parameters for sorting. Create a layout (called ALV variant) or do the sorting online clicking columns(s) and sort icons. It will not change when displayed in print preview.
What function/object do you use?

Clemens

Flash Player is installed in my laptop and willl not work on certain sites.

My laptop say's that i have Adobe Flash Player installed in my Toshiba Laptop Windows 8.1, i just updated to 8.1 but this problem excisted before the update. I follow the instruction's and when I get to the area to enable Shockwave Flash Player I am not able to enable it. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you Carrie

I wound up with 8.1 "preview" on my laptop after my daughter was conned into installing it by a Facebook friend.
It rendered about $4500 dollars worth of software "incompatible" (that seems to be a favorite for Microsoft these days) and I had no choice but to reformat the laptop.
I'm avoiding 8.1 till they get it right. My best estimate for that is, about 2016 sometime.

Both my laptop and desktop at work are giving error "Sync encountered an error while syncing: unknown error. This just started for no obvious reason

firefox 4.0.1
I don't think this started when i upgraded, only noticed this today on both computers
Running XP on both.

If you have tried everything, you should, first open a bug with the log of your server error (so the team can fix it) and then replace the info in the server. It's probably corrupted:

\n and \r not working from XML doc

What am I missing? I am loading XML into a dynamic text
field. The \n and \r just show up in my dynamic text field along
with the rest of the text. I've set my dynamic text field to render
as HTML too.
I see that others have asked this same question but I've
tried various answers and some were left unanswered. Any
help?

do you meen you actualy typed those \r\n into your xml?
If so, then there's nothing strange that they're shown like
normal characters.
str.split("\\" + "n").join('\n'); sould do

Contact phone numbers with ext. numbers will not work from old phone

When trying to use a contact number with an ext. the phone will say I do not have long distance nor international dialing on my plan.My previous phone was a LG Dare which allowed for the number to be dialed and the ext was then dialed after a release button was pressed. Any thoughts?

You can enter your contact number in your phonebook/contacts with a comma or two between the number and extension. A comma should wait 2 seconds and then dial the extension, 2 commas 4 seconds, etc
1234567890,1234
Or you can try a ; (semi-colon) to pause and ask for you to dial an extension. I don't know if this works on a GS3 or not
1234567890;1234

I downloaded my photos to my laptop, and deleted the photos from my phone. If I want the pictures on my phone later on, can I put them back onto my phone?

I downloaded my photos on my laptop so I have them, I need to delete some of my photos for storage on my iPhone 4. If I want some of the photos that I have on my laptop, can I put them back onto my iPhone later on?

Yes you can.
(but if you do, also keep a copy on your computer)
One way is via iTunes: iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support
Another way is via a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com
Or via Photo Stream My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
or iCloud Photos: https://www.apple.com/icloud/photos/

TS3367 FaceTime not working on my ipad. Also iPlayer on the ipad tells me insufficient bandwidth and so I presume it is the same problem. However, iPlayer is working well on my Apple laptop and desktop. Any suggestions.

From what I read, this issue is affecting mostly users with iOS 6 installed on their devices. If you are able, upgrade to iOS 7. My mom called me yesterday with the same issue, upgraded, then it worked fine for her.
If you are not able to upgrade, you'll probably have to wait for Apple to fix whatever is affecting iOS 6.
