Why doesn't the "Allow Me to be Discovered by..." option appear in Airdrop?

Nevernind ... on further investigation, only 2012 and newer macs can Airdrop to iOS 8.1 devices.

  • Why doesn't the Calendar allow one to schedule the last Friday of each month?

    Why doesn't the Calendar allow for making repeating appts. like the 1st Saturday of each month or the last Friday of each month?  This is such fundamental functionality. Virtually all other third-party calendar apps include this feature. I was very disappointed this wasn't addressed in iOS 5.  Hopefully an Apple Support person sees this...

  • Why doesn't the camera kit I bought fit into my iPad dock?

    Why doesn't the camera kit I bought fit into my iPad dock?

    Maybe you purchased the wrong item.
    iPads that have the 25 pin connector use the original Camera Connection Kit. That kit has two parts and adapter to allow you to insert SD cards and a second adapter to connect a USB cord from your camera. Here's a link to that kit:

    Newer iPads have the Lightning connector. You have two choices for those iPads. If you want to read SD card purchase a Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader.

    Or you can connect your iPad directly to your camera with a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.

  • Why doesn't the iPad have a guest screen like the PC for extra security?

    I just want to start off first by saying I just purchased my iPad about six months ago and I'm really enjoying it,but if you're like me,I believe in protecting my privacy.
    I don't like to turn down any of friends or coworkers when I'm asked to use my iPad,but when you have such things as your personal pictures,movies,music,business documents,etc...you'd like to keep them from prying eyes. I thought that with the new iOS 7 update,that issue would've been fixed, but I was wrong. I'm hoping Apple would correct this problem with the next iOS update,it would make a lot of loyal Apple consumers & anyone who's new to purchasing the iPad for the first time very happy to know that feature is available.
    Why doesn't the iPad offer a guest screen?

    Tell Apple at the link below.

  • Why doesn't the CC app work properly?

    I've been using Creative Cloud for some time now and am really loving it, however I must say it is a source of annoyance that the Creative Cloud app just doesn't work properly.
    Firstly, I used it initially to download all my apps, then after an update those apps no longer appeared in the "Apps" list. Now only those that have been installed since that update appear in this list. Why doesn't the "Apps" list display all of the Adobe CC apps that I have installed on my computer?
    Why does it keep reinstalling fonts? I'm always getting "Lush Script Regular" and other fonts being added.
    It regularly comes up telling me that Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro need to be updated, but always I get an error, then the update request disappears.
    I'm regularly getting 4 files that it can't sync - even though they are the same files as others in the folder. If nothing else, why can't I say "Great, got the message". Also, why is the error message just "due to server error" with no advice on how to resolve it? Why is there a server error on only these 4 files?
    It seems to me there are still some teething issues with the CC app, but what I don't understand is why they aren't being resolved much faster, given that this is the portal to the service.
    Of course, given Adobe I doubt I'll get satisfactory answers – a little jaded with their responses. Anyway, thought I'd at least post the questions.  

    Questapo I am sorry you have been facing difficulties with your Creative Cloud experience.  I don't believe it will be possible to address all of your concerns in one discussion.  I would not be surprised if at least three of the issues are related to the same root cause.
    First in order for the applications to be visible are you regularly needing to delete the OPM.db file?  You can find this listed as solution 2 in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • Why Doesn't the XIRR function work?

    In Excel if you have 5 records from a1:b5 then XIRR looks like this:
    XIRR(A1:A5, B1:B5) you get a nice neat answer like .35
    Here is a version that works in Crystal that would require manual entry of any new quarters numbers and dates-- and if you plug this into Crystal it works:
    (XIRR([1000000,-100000,-100000,-100000,-100000,10277.49,-100000], [DateValue(1999,2,1),DateValue(1999,3,1),DateValue(1999,6,1), DateValue(1999,12,1),DateValue(2000,3,1),DateValue(2000,6,1),DateValue(2000,9,1)]))*.100
    You do get a nice answer of something like .035.  But this is all done manually and I need it to function automatically when the report is refreshed.
    So you have a range for the currency and a range for the date fields. I need to simulate this in crystal. Crystal has an XIRR function, and with the arrays, I should be able to fill in the range, but am having difficulty getting it to work.
    After building the arrays, I made another formula to combine the arrays in the XIRR formula.
    I am down to this error now after getting this formula this far  --
    "Numerical method did not converge; try another value for guess."
    Here's where I am with the formula, although they don't want to use the guess part of the XIRR function - they just want to use the XIRR(number/currency, date).  Maybe you could pass this on too?:
    /{@Reset} for the group header (NOT using a repeated group header):
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar array x := 0;
    datevar array y := date(0,0,0);
    numbervar i := 0;
    numbervar j := 0;
    //{@accum} for the detail section:
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar array x;
    datevar array y;
    numbervar i := i + 1;
    numbervar j := count({table.groupfield},{table.groupfield});
    if i <= j then (
    redim preserve x[j];
    redim preserve y[j];
    x<i> := tonumber({table.currency});
    y<i> := datevalue({table.datetime})
    //{@xirr calc} to be placed in the group footer:
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar array x;
    datevar array y;
    xirr(x,y)
    The array works correctly.  So why do I get that error and why doesn't the XIRR formula work like they say it should?  Has anyone used this successfully in Crystal--maybe you could shed some light?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I am receiving that same error when the last item in the array is 0, otherwise all works perfectly.
    When I run the same group of numbers and dates in Excel it returns without issue.
    -265500.00,-690000.00,-570000.00,16814.25,-855000.00,-619500.00,55293.46,30411.40,15183.76,  0.00
    01-25-2007,03-06-2007,05-02-2007,06-29-2007,08-01-2007,08-24-2007,09-17-2007,03-14-2008,05-28-2008,03-31-2010
    =XIRR(A2:J2,A1:J1,-0.1)
    Is there a known bug in Crystal's XIRR function when the last value is 0? 
    Or a hot-fix that will repair this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gary
    PS. I am using Crystal XI Product Version: 11.0.0.2495

  • Why doesn't the location information in an iCal meeting show up on my iPhone, when it does show up in iCal?

    Why doesn't the location information show up on my iPhone 4S calendar when I accept an invitation to a meeting?
    The other information such as the date, time and invitees all show up on the iPhone, while in iCal all the information including the Location field is showing up.

    If it won't charge you probably need to try a different dock to usb cable.  More information on troubshooting this is available here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591.

  • Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

    Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

    thanks for the reply. You prompted me to check and I realised it wasn't installed on my test laptop and opening in Microsoft Reader. I've installed it now and it works.
    My next challenge is to prevent the mailto: command opening Microsoft Mail instead of Outlook, but I guess every user will have a different default.
    Thank you

    Without more information, speculation is a waste of time.  At the least tell us what you do, what the results are, and how that result differs from your expectation.  Then tell us what steps you have taken to resolve the issue, and what the results of taking those steps was.

  • I have Adobe Reader X on Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Printer for Adobe PDF show up in my Hardware/printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers?

    I have Adobe Reader X in Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Adobe PDF show up as a printer in my Hardware/Printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers? And how?

    Adobe Reader - FREE - reads PDF files, prints them, fills forms.
    Adobe Acrobat - $$ - as Reader, and makes PDFs and edits them, sorta, and does a bunch more.
    So if you had Acrobat try and find the license to avoid having to pay again...

  • Why doesn't the sd card or the usb connect to my mac ????

    why doesn't the sd card or the usb connect to my mac plzzzz help meeeeeeeeeee

    The reason no one has replied is that you posted in a little-viewed forum for an obsolete Apple software suite. I am asking the Hosts to move you to the MacBook Air forum.
    Also these forums are NOT chat rooms so you will seldom get an instant answer. No one here works for Apple; we are end users like you who volunteer on a time-available basis to help our fellow Mac users. Patience is required here.

  • Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?
    I changed the about:config to make the rotate gesture move between tabs, and it worked great for well over a year. Now it behaves erratically as described here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598
    It used to be very controllable to move one tab over, now it is erratic and moves quickly and to unexpected tabs regardless of how slow I do the rotate gesture. This is the main reason I use Firefox over Chrome and I would like to continue to do so unless there is no fix to this.

    Just set the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.
