Have upgraded to Lion but cannot find AirDrop for file transfer. Does it exist?

Apple lists AirDrop as a new feature in the Lion OS and it looks great but it is not where it should be in Finder, Go, Apps and Spotlight has never heard of it. Am I missing something or has Apple dumped it from the OS but not the sales pitch?

AirDrop is still in Lion, but is (and has always been) only supported on certain systems. Check to see if your system is supported:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4783
If it is, post back with your model and specs of Mac and perhaps someone will have suggestions.
Regards.

    Dick,
    You should be looking in the Mavericks forum, Maps is integrated into Mavericks so you will probably find some clues there. Also here is an article you may find useful:

    You will need to call Apple as it is no longer listed in the app store. After paying for it, they will send you a redemption code via email you can use to download it.

  • I have just downloaded Yosemite but I find that Photoshop Elements 11 does not work properly. If I use a tool like a paint brush or spot healer I cannot paint a full stroke?

    I have just downloaded Yosemite but I find that Photoshop Elements 11 does not work properly. If I use a tool like a paint brush or spot healer I cannot paint a full stroke does anyone else have this issue or know a solution?

    Many thanks that does work. But it now leads to another question is this simply a trackpad issue and if so will it be fixed? I use Elements every day and was thinking I would have to go back to Mavericks.

  • I want to re-install Premiere Elelments 8, but cannot find downloads for version 8.  Where can I download the files for version 8?

    I want to re-install Premiere Elelments 8, but cannot find downloads for version 8.  I have the serial no.  Where can I download the files for version 8?

    Hi Jeff.  I did purchase Premiere Elements 8 from Adobe (download version), but couldn't find the files to download again on the adobe.com website.  I did, however carry out another search of files from my old PC and eventually found the files to reinstall on my new PC, using my registered product serial no.  Installation has worked.  It seems that Adobe has stopped supporting version 8 as I could only find version 9 and later for download from the adobe.com website.
    Thanks for your prompt reply

  • Sync archive is successful, but cannot find latest config file in the config viewer

    Sync archive is successful, but cannot find latest config file in the config viewer, Prime LMS 4.2.4

    Hi,
    Go Admin > Collection Settings > Config > Config Archive Settings
    Make sure   enable shadow directory is Checked
    Also check you have folders like shadow , devfiles ..etc under NMSROOT/CSCOpx/files/rme/dcma
    If these folders are missing ... then it is a database issue..
    if files and folders are fine then check if it happening for any particulr device or set of devices or all the devices ?
    Thanks-

  • I have installed Copy HTML but cannot find it as an option under any Menu. Only copy is there.

    I have installed the Copy HTML plug-in but cannot find it as an option under any Menu. The only option is "copy". Where do I find this option so I can use it?

    Your screenshot shows that you have the page source visible, so you already have the source code including HTML code available to copy.<br />
    You should see the Copy HTML entry if you right-click a normally rendered HTML page.

  • Urgent : everything works fine, but cannot find a .jpg file

    This is my first attemp at creating a jar file and running the running the program
    i created a jar file ran it, everything works fine but when i click the about menuitem, it throws a java nullpointer exception,
    it says it cannot find the .jpg file that is used for the about box,
    the code works fine if i run as a normal program i.e
    java <somepackage>/<classname>
    javax.swing.ImageIcon aboutimage;//in the constructor
    try{
    aboutimage = new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("resources/image/"+"About.jpg")); //-- exception at this line
                   }catch(Exception e){
                        e.printStackTrace();               
                   }

    i post a bit more details in case sm1 might want to refer,
    Thanks in advance ..it's a bit long sorry for the inconv.
    I created a jar file this way,
    - first created the Manifest.txt file and added the the main class,
    follwed steps from the tutorial at sun:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/appman.html
    then this at command prompt
    jar cfm Aid.jar Manifest.txt IDTT/
    Now when i run the jar file every thing runs fine except for the About.jpg,
    that file doesn't show up when i click the about button in the application
    Everything works fine when i directly run the file from command prompt as java IDTT/Aid
    Error recieved:
    Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at IDTT.Aid$AboutPanel.<init>(Aid.java:336)
    at IDTT.Aid.menuItem_AboutActionPerformed
    (Aid.java:304)
    this is line 336 in Aid.java:
    javax.swing.ImageIcon aboutimage = new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("resources/"+"About.jpg"));
    Aid.java has package as
    package IDTT,
    the files in folder graph
    have package as
    package IDTT.graph
    "resources" is a normal folder that has a image file called About.jpg
    and another folder called "html" that contains many html files.
    there's no error for html files
    This is the package/folder tree structure
    IDTT

    |- Aid.java (has main)

  • I have been using Internet Explorer and have now downloaded Firefox but cannot find my imported favourites. Where can I find them?

    I have now downloaded Firefox as my default browser and when downloading I asked for my favourites from Internet Explorer to be exported to Firefox. I cannot find anywhere on the Firefox site that allows me to open my favourites. Can you please advise.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • I have upgraded to lion but it seems that front row has disappeared, how do I get it back?

    How do I get Front Row back? I used to use it all the time!!

    Front Row got taken off Lion.
    But you can search on youtube for a work around (not sure I can post links here)
    If you do a search here you will find a couple of other programs that work in a similar fashion under Lion. Can't recall their names, I never used Front Row, but I recall the posts being on the Lion Forums somewhere.
    Good Luck

  • I have Imovie 11 installed but cannot find IDVD installed anywhere?

    Is Idvd part of Imovie11 or do I have to download Idvd separately?

    Hi
    You may have bought Your Mac just when Apple decided not to sell or deliver iDVD any more (to a hilarious frustration to most of us users).
    a. Apple do not sell it any more
    b. No it's not included in iLife11 any more (if downloaded from Apple)
    c. One can buy - secondhanded iLife11 boxed/DVD version still including iDVD but they are not so many and price is increasing
    Else
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • Cannot find the object % because it does not exist or you do not have permissions

    I'm executing a SQL 2008 sproc from an Access Data Project, using ADO. The sproc truncates and then fills a table in the SQL database, which is then used as the recordsource in an Access report.
    This works fine for all users except one. I assumed it was a problem with that user's privileges, but when I connected to the database thru SSMS using his login, I was able to excecute the sproc successfully. I even explicitly granted that SELECT, UPDATE
    and DELETE to that user but it stills throws the error when executed from Access.
    Any suggestions?
    Darrell H Burns

    TRUNCATE TABLE requires ALTER permission on the table. You could say that TRUNCATE TABLE is half of DROP TABLE. The pages are deallocated, but the metadata is retained.
    Rather that granting users extra rights, a better solution is to sign the procedure with a certificate, create a user from the certificate grant that user ALTER on table. In this way, you package the permission with the procedure. (The user for the certificate
    is special kind of user that cannot log in.)
    I have a longer article on my web site that describes this technique in detail:
