Maybe I have the wrong Community Pack, or am installing it wrong. But in my copy there is only one Oath for the Paladin that is populated and the Drow Elf is not option in the sub races of the Elves.

Am I wrong?

Open the Configure Hero window (Character -> Configure Hero) and check that you have enabled the sources for the community files.

I have the D&D 5e Community Pack V1.3 (downloaded 2016-04-04) under my Installed Updates.

I have all the Community Packs checked off for all the "official" products. The only content I don't have checked off are the Third Party and the EN Publishing stuff. I am playing official Adventurer's League and none of that content would be "legal".

Peace

This is what you should be seeing.

Note: I'm using a pre-release version here however i'm certain the options you have requested are all released. If you're not seeing some of these options and you want to you can always download the GitHub repo and save the files into your 5e folder. DOWNLOAD LINK

It clearly says "all" the missing pieces are within the Community Pack. I did the research and I would suggest the stretch in the truth IS the fault of Lone Wolf.
If it says that then my bad and I am sorry. Everything I had read before was just about SRD I didn't know they added the community Pack info.

For the core PHB/DMG/MM I do think its all there.

In reference to your current problem if you are opening an "existing" character (ie .por) file make sure you are pressing "CTRL-K" and to open the Configure Your Hero window. Each set of settings are "saved" with your character. This way each character can have different allowed books.

Perhaps this is the source of my issues...I am only accessing this software and content through an iPad Pro (9.7" version)

I have "updated" using this link here:

http://www.shadowsoftware.net/herolab/5e/updates.xml

I am not really a tech guy, so I am not sure how to update using a GitHub repo (I don't even know what that is)

Because I am using an iPad only....I don't think there is an option to "save the file in my 5e folder".

Using the iPad is how I want run my heros during the Adventure League, carting my desktop is unwieldy.

Peace

We are cool dude, no worries. As I said earlier I am not trying to be a troll or pick a fight, I would just like this software to work. I bought it so I could use it.

I am trying to take my heroes that I have created in Fight Club 5 and port them over to Hero Lab. Because I am using an iPad there is no "Ctrl-K".

Peace

I don't have an IPad so I can only blindly provide assistance. Have you followed the instructions HERE?

Try to create your characters at the desktop, then export the .por files to your email or dropbox, then open them at your Ipad. I would recommend that if you ask me.

@Topic, the community pack is pretty playable, and has a huge potential, the whole community is adding stuffs daily, not just original content but also lots of awesome homebrews

I didn't come here to start a fight, I was expressing my disappointment with the lack of "all" that is promised on the buy page.
As @ShadowChemosh asserted above, it's been my understanding that everything from the PHB, DMG, and MM has been added to the Community Pack. Since that's explicitly the framing of the paragraph you quoted, I believe it's accurate for us to say "all". If you're seeking content or mechanics from other supplements, then I have no idea whether something is or isn't included in the Community Pack. That's entirely at the discretion of @daplunk and his band of hard-working volunteers, and it's a moving target, since new stuff keeps getting steadily added.

Since I'm only tacitly familiar with D&D 5E, and not at all familiar with how D&D 5E works on the iPad, I can't offer any suggestions here. However, I'll flag this thread to someone who does know the answer. Hopefully, he'll be able to point you in the right direction tomorrow.
