I dont find an option to enable left-hand Quick Launch on my Sharepoint site. Currently, I only see top navigation. How can I enable Quick Launch in my scenario?
Did you enabled SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure in Site collection features? Or on you site settings page, you have options like below under Look and Feel section.
If you can see Navigation Elements, you can click it and then you will see the check box for enable Qucik Lauch.

I have created a SharePoint site using Office 365 and I am trying to get the menu to show down the left hand side as currently it is along the top of the page. The site layout is set to Seattle but the menu does not show. Some of the articles I've read talk about clicking on Navigation link in site settings but I cannot see this link. Not sure if there is something I need to enable.
How can I get this to show?

Left Hand Side of Page
Thanks
You could enable publishing feature, you'll see the setting.
I have created a "Team Site" on SharePoint online. When I edit a site page, I am not able to view any option of adding a web part on the page. All I can see are following options. Please click the link to see the options. I don't see any web part option there.
I believe there are some features that need to be activated on this site collection. Does anybody know which features need to be activated here to enable web parts on the page?
Unfortunately, WebPart doesn't work in New Experience. You need to be in Classic View to add the WebPart.
You can't add web part to New experience mode Sharepoint page. At least not for now. But you can create a page in Classic mode, it's the same as it was in SP2013.

Using SharePoint 2007, how could I allow the adding of CEWP's to the selection menu of an "Add a Web Part" dialog while in Edit Page mode? As of the moment, I can only add Announcements, Calendar, Links, Shared Documents, Tasks but I do not have the ability to add a CEWP. I have full access to the site.
At Site Settings > Site Features > Site Collection Features, you will want to have the Office SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure set to active.
Then, on the site, go to Site Settings > Site Features, and activate the Office SharePoint Server Publishing feature. You should then be able to add the content editor web part to the site.
Quite often I see SharePoint 2010 websites without the Content Editor webpart (MSContentEditor.dwp)
To enable this web part you need to activate the BasicWebParts feature on that site. I did not find an option to do this by the web site admin; you can enable the feature however by using SharePoint powershell.
Execute the following statement in the SharePoint Powershell and the Content editor web part will be added to your site
Enable-SPFeature 00bfea71-1c5e-4a24-b310-ba51c3eb7a57 -Url [SharepointSiteUrl]
To get the SharePoint site url just run
Get-SPSite

I ran into a similar issue in SharePoint 2010, but I couldn't see other webparts due to my user permissions on the Site Collection. After getting "Restricted Read" rights on the Site Collection I could see all of the different WebParts.
Here is what helped me fo Sharepoint 2013 Online (Office365):

Basically, I had to set flag DenyAddAndCustomizePages to 0 using sharepoint power shell.
Moreover, from time to time I had to reset the flag to 0 as the online sharepoint seems to reset it to deafult 1.
After trying all the above, and other proposed solutions, my eventual success was through PowerShell script. Admittedly I did check that Custom Scripts was permitted and I did have to Activate the two "SharePoint Server Publishing" features described above, but as I am using a sub-site I presmume something else must have been messed up. In the end the following script allowed me to see the Content Editor option when adding a Web Part:
SET-SPOSite -DenyAddandCustomizePages 0

I want to connect two list webparts. The problem is that when I go to "Edit Web Part -> Connections" this option "Connections" doesn't apperar.
Searching on google found this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-sharepoint-services-help/connect-data-in-web-parts-HA010024105.aspx. There is a paragraph that says: "The Web Part menu may not be enabled or visible on your Web Part Page for several reasons, including that the Web Part or the zone does not support connections, you are using a browser that is not compatible with Windows SharePoint Services, or connections are disabled on your site"
I think connections are disable on my site. Where can I enable connections on a SharePoint site?
Thanks for your help!
Ha ha. In Internet Explorer 11, you have to view Sharepoint sites in "Compatibility Mode"! Imagine that! Without Compatibility Mode, IE won't display the connection menus - but Firefox and Chrome will! Apparently, this is even a problem with Sharepoint 2013.
I saw this problem even when Connections were enabled.
The workaround was to choose Edit Web Part and Click "Apply". This magically made the connection menu appear. However when the page is reloaded, the workaround needs to be applied again.
I'm not 100% sure if I remember correctly, but I had the same issue last week.
First you need access to the central administration at the sharepoint host.
In there, you have to click on "Application Managment" -> "Manage Web Applications"
Then select your web app and click on Web Part Security in the ribbon. If i remember right you should find an option there to allow connections between webparts.
Here in my experience I found that on wiki page web part connection is not possible, if you want to connect two web parts or two list, go and add your lists, or webpart onto webpart page, and on edit page connect them, ok.
There are some issue with placing filter web parts on a wiki page. The filter web part is not visible and it's impossible to select the webpart menu when in page edit mode.
I encountered it a few times. Like user2780851 states. Enable the publishing features, add a new (publishing) page (so in the 'pages' library not in the 'sitepages' library). When you add the filter webparts on this publishing page all the menu options (and the connection option) will be available.
I was able to get things to redisplay without using compatibility mode. In IE 11, what I had to do was hit F12 to pull up the developer menu, and then under the emulation tab, I switched my user agent to Internet Explorer 10, and then it started working correctly. My problem that lead me to this thread was that my web part menu wasn't displaying at all. This is a serious Microsoft fail. Probably why they are planning to abandon IE altogether. Good riddance, says I.
I've found that this issue has caused a lot of confusion, and led people to incorrectly think that connections between web parts isn't available on wiki pages.
The Connections option will appear as long as you are in the edit mode of any web part on the page - it doesn't have to be a web part which will be involved in the connection.

this is answer right i did it and it works
How do I configure the Site Hierarchy on the left hand side of a SharePoint Services 3.0 site to NOT show folders?
We have thousands of folders and it takes ages to load the page!
Thanks
Go to Site Actions, Site Settings, Modify All.
In 'Look and Feel' click on 'Tree View'.
In 'Tree View' uncheck Enable Tree View.
I'm going to assume you mean the Quick Launch bar. If not then just leave me a comment so I can update the answer.
In a nutshell you want to configure navigation from the site settings page. You an quickly go in and tell it to NOT display any child sites. For detail instructions checkout this page.
One way would be to use the SPWeb.Navigation class to remove all the undesired items from the quick launch bar. For more information check these classes:
