When I click on the sharing folder in sys pref there are no options avail.

I am trying to set up sharing between my two macs, but when click on the sharing folder in system preferences, there are no options visible.   This only occurs on one of my macs.   but on my 10.7.4 lion mac, there are no options.
All other options of all other system preferences are there, just not my sharing options.   I have tried to download updates to 10.7.4, but it has not fixed the problem.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

It opens the folder, but there is nothing in the folder.   This is what it looks like.

    When you turn on your Mac is will search for any computers that it's possible to connect to. You can't connect with any of them unless you and other computer user set up a sharing network.
    It's like looking through a window. You can see someone on the other side but can't communicate with them unless you open the window and shout at them.

    Please help. When I click on the download folder then MBP crashes

    I see. Not good.  Does this happen when you click on it in the Dock?  What about in your home folder? What about in the Finder sidebar?
    Standard troubleshooting things to try:
    * Hold command-r while starting up to get into Recovery Mode.  Run DIsk Utility and "Repair Disk".  (This is probably a good idea in any case because of the possible disk errors which could accumulate due to all the freezing.)
    * Hold shift down while starting up to get into Safe Mode. Does the bad behavior persist while in Safe mode?

    Control-click them in the Dock, choose Show in Finder, and if needed, drag them to the Applications folder in the root.

  • My I4 will not allow me to connect a bluetooth. It keeps giving a message the pair list is full. There are no list available to delete. How do I correct the issue?

    My I4 will not allow me to connect a bluetooth. It keeps giving a message the pair list is full. There are no list available to delete. How do I correct the issue?

    Check this article: iOS: Third-party Bluetooth headsets, headphones, and keyboards
    Unpairing a Bluetooth accessory from an iOS device
    If you've paired your iOS device with a Bluetooth accessory and no longer wish to use that accessory, you may unpair it. If you wish to leave the device paired, but route calls through a second, paired device, turn off the first device and then turn on the second device. Then in Settings > General > Bluetooth, tap on the device you wish to use.
    From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Bluetooth. If Bluetooth isn't on, turn it on.
    Choose a device and tap Unpair.
    Until you pair the Bluetooth accessory again, your iOS device won't route information through it.
    * Find information on which iOS versions and devices support which Bluetooth profiles. Not all Bluetooth stereo headphones include a mic. Only those with a mic and that support handsfree profile (HFP 1.5) can be used to make and receive calls.

  • I have version 3.6.23 on a desktip PC. When I "check for updates", I get a message that there are no updates available. What version should I have and how do I get it?

    I tried to use a shmetsy.com tool for Etsy. I couldn't use it because of my version of Firefox - 3.6.23
    I went to "About Mozilla Firefox" to check for updates and got the message "There are no updates available"

    I don't know what versions of Firefox work with Shmetsy. Do they have a system requirements page? It's not in the very short FAQ...
    You have the latest in the 3.6 line.
    If you want Firefox 7, go to http://www.mozilla.org/firefox to get the installer.
    Normally, major upgrades go without a hitch, but just in case, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings to cover yourself in the rare case that something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Open iTunes and navigate to the app store. Select a free app to download. A simple way to do this is to scroll down to the top free apps box on the right hand side, hover your mouse over the first item and click on the free button that appears when you hover over it.
    A pop up will open asking you to sign in with your Apple ID click "create new account", click continue to create your account. Check the box to accept the store terms and conditions and click continue.
    Enter your email address, password, security question, and date of birth, click continue. Now, you will be asked to provide a payment method. Note now that the last option says "none".

  • I've downloaded firefox19. When I click on the exe. file I don't have a "run" option. What do I do?

    Running Win 7 on ASUS K53E notebook with 2 GHz cpu and 4GB ram. I installed software for an older digital camera and started getting "Firefox is already running....." message. I did a soft boot with no change. I uninstallled and re-installed Firefox with no change. System restore failed twice. I've run AVG and found no threats. I'm currently using IE9 but some changes have been made in it too. Don't know what's happened but I want to get it straightened out.

    Try to delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile.

    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • The UI is so UGLY an there are no options to change this.

    For me and the mayority of people i know, the user interface is completity UGLY. With Windows 10 is more UGLY too changing the desktop icons.
    Simple, plain, flat, lack of constrast between areas, terrible an heavy colors, bad icons seens to developed by a three years old baby.
    Also Windows 10, as same as Windows 8.x has no options to change this.
    Windows 7 has options to change all of this an select if you want transparencies, aero and more OR NOT. Windows 8.x and 10 has NO OPTIONS.
    The Advanced Appearance Settings is removed in Windows 8.x and 10 in order to configure desktop with things, like for example, change the grid size of the desktop in order to align icons.
    Since 1990, all monitor are in color, and since 2000 the vast mayority of video cards support True Color (32 Bits) and i dont like an never use an OS that looks likes Windows 1.0 or 2.0. I want colors, degraded colors, transparencies, rounded borders, full
    color 3D icons, shadows, effects, and more. I want to see diferents color in diferents areas of a Windows like in Windows XP or all versions of Office except 2013.
    Who develops the LOGON ICON?
    If someone on my company presents a design like the Windows 8.x or 10 logon icon is inmeditly fired. But Microsoft sells a product with this horrible design who someone develop in less than a minute,
    but I do not think anyone has such bad taste
    to bother it or check it.
    ALL MODERN/Metro Design, including the Microsoft and Windows logo, the Web design and all, are UGLY. Very UGLY with NO OPTIONS to change this.
    I respect all people who like this simple and minilastist design, but i ask those people respect us for all that i not like that design.

    The Advanced Appearance Settings is removed in Windows 8.x and 10 in order to configure desktop with things, like for example, change the grid size of the desktop in order to align icons.
    I agree with this part, unless it was moved somewhere else. I'd be nice to have a few more desktop customization options.

  • What is the keyboard shortcut for emptying the trash? I've tried "command-click on the trash folder", but nothing happens.

    I've looked at the articles on keyboard/mouse click shortcuts; and the only reference I saw for emptying the trash said that right clicking on the trash folder would bring up a menu of options and that one of these would be to empty the trash.
    Not the case.
    I'm using Thunderbird 24.3.0 on an mac running OS 10.9.2 . When I use the mac version of right click (that is -- control click) I get the following menu options: Open in New tab * Open in New Window * Rename * Favorite Folder * Properties
    Empty the trash is not among the options. Since this is such a fundamental operation, I would think a keyboard or mouse-click shortcut would be obvious. What am I missing?
    I should add that we manage several email accounts and that they all use "Trash on Local Folders".

    Thank you for the reply. Sadly, it didn't work.
    On a mac, alt and option share the same key. I tried using option/alt in combination with command, control and shift (+f) -- but none worked. None of these combinations did anything at all. Is that a clue? Could a plugin be causing the problem? In search of a resolution, I deactivated most of my Plugins. Those left are:
    * Adobe Acrobat NPAPi Plug-in
    * AdobeExManDetect 1.1.0
    * Flip4Mac Windows Media Plugin
    * Jave Applet Plug-in Java 7 Update 51
    * QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.3
    * Sharepoint Browser Plug-in 14.3.1.
    * Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70
    Don't know what they do exactly. I have no extensions.
    Does this help?

    My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play.  They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs.  All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. This is a new issue.  It used to work fine.  I tried restarting my iPhone and syncing with iTunes. Neither worked.  Please help!

    Try delete those songs using iTunes by de-selecting and sync. After that mark those songs and sync again.
