The sharing option doesn't appear in system preferences

OS X 10.6.6
The sharing option is no longer in system preferences. I've looked in the folder /system/library/preferencepanes and there isn't a file for sharing. The most recent thing I've done is install remote desktop, which also doesn't appear anywhere that I can see.
So how do I get the sharing option back? Is it a simple case of downloading the latest software update?
Thanks

If you wish to buy a song in the iTunes Store, do not use the dropdown menu.  Just click on the price.

    What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
    But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

    I assume PR is the country code for Peurto Rico.   Apple do not appear to have any retail store connections there though there are one or two re-sellers.  
    You need to be living in the USA with a credit or bank card from an American bank to use the US Mac App Store..

  • HT204291 The mirroring option doesn't appear under AirPlay on my iPad

    I can Home Share with two computers and an iPod with my Apple TV for playing iTunes libraries and for Videos, but cannot get The Mirroring option to show up under AirPlay on my iOS devices (iPod Touch and iPad).

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • HT202213 The "Homeshare" option doesn't appear in the dropdown menu. How do I fix this?

    Both have the latest version of iTunes, both have Homesharing turned on, and both are authorized.  Why isn't Homesharing appearing in my options on the dropdown menu?  I'm at a deadend.
    If it helps, one computer has Windows 7 and the laptop has Windows 8.

  • So here is the deal. I have purchased a new iPad 3-32 GB and i was trying to sync it with my windows-7 computer. The device option doesn't appear in the I-tunes. What could be the possible problem and how can this be resolved.

    Also the ipad is not yet connected to any internet connection but the computer is connected to LAN. I am in desperate need for answers and some guidance.

  • Remote disk doesn't appear in my finder.  also cd sharing option does not appear under preferences

    remote disk doesn't appear in my finder.  also cd sharing option does not appear under preferences

    Hi i also had a recent problem with a stuck cd in my 12" powerbook slot loading drive. I would suggest attempting all the operating system problem solvers first that are covered in other discussions on this site, such as holding down alt + command(apple logo thingy) + F + O straight away when starting up your computer. This brings you to the open firmware where you type "eject cd."
    My problem seemed more physical than a glitch in the operating system The CD would try to eject several times each time failing with a horrid grinding unhealthy sound as if something was blocking it. After a while the computer seemed to disable the act of even trying to eject the disc and the cd would not be recognize on my desktop or anywhere else.
    After days of suffering and failed attempts I managed to get the disc out by getting another cd that was not important, and placing it in the mouth of the slot loading drive and carefully bending the cd gently in a wrist swiveling manor so that the slot got pushed wider. This sounds foolish behavior I know, but cds have a nice flex to them which softens contact with the soft aluminum metal. After a slight widening I tried ejecting once more and it thankfully worked. The disc that came out was incredibly scratched so I came to conclusion that the drive had been squashed a little bit down the line.
    Any way hope this works and sorry about the essay.

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • How do I change a filename in Pages when the "save as" option doesn't appear?

    How do I change a filename for a Word doc that I imported into Pages?  The "save as" option doesn't appear and Pages assigns my documents arbitrary filenames and puts them in odd places like templates.
