How to I get menubar to display submenus? I have tried many things

I have cut and pasted old menubars that worked. I have downloaded Sry again and uploaded hundred menubar changes, but not much happens and I never get the submenus.
I am redesigning a webpage at www.vienergy.org (The Virgin island Energy Office)
My sample of the new design that I can't get to work can be reached by clicking on the BuIlding page at that site.
my email is [email protected]
I have spent many hours on this and would appreciate any help. I am sure it is something dumb that a nonprofessional like me does not see.

Don, I found a few errors, but was not able to reconstruct the menu to the point of getting it to work. There is some other CSS overriding your SpryMenuBarHorizontal2.css file.
But, that said, I did try out some changes:

A more major difficulty was that in the head of the page, there were no fewer than 4 links to various SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css files (with various names) and the Javascript in the foot of the page, added by the insert spry menubar, did not call out the most recent menubar variable. So I guess it's possible that the wrong javascript file was being called, too!
I recommend that you start a new page from scratch (maybe in a new site), link carefully, and insert the Spry Menu Bar and its various auxiliary files, save, see if it works with no changes to it, and slowly and carefully change the css file.
It will be much easier than trying to 'unbend the rusty nails' in order to use them again.

  • How to get my .pdf filesize down (I have tried many things!)

    Hi everyone. After about an hour and a half of thoroughly searching the web, seeing others suggestions that don't work for me, or trying online resizers, I am now officially pissed off, especially since I consider myself a somewhat computer savvy person.
    Ok...So I am trying to upload a transcript of mine onto an application website for a job. The transcript file size is 242 KB. For some reason, the max upload file size on the website is 200 KB, which is ridiculous I think but it's what I have to work with. There are 4 pages in the .pdf file. I can do without one or two of the pages, but I have tried everything. There is no option under Document...extract pages or whatever it was. I tried "printing" it using a document writer and saving only a couple of the pages but then the quality comes out horrible.I have tried "print screen" then saving it in paint and all that but that doesn't work well either. Now I turn here for help cause I feel I am about to break something!
    How can I get this file size down?!? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I am using windows 7 64 bit and Adobe X reader.
    Thanks,
    David

I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back. It is a full page in some unknown language. The only thing I can decifer is 'cupy uf cak'.   Rdal

    Roger,
    The icon is +Sections, not just Sections, as in "Add a Section". When you click that icon you get a section break and and a new section template, complete with preformatted text called placeholder text. The reason "Lorem ipsum" is there is so you can see what the format looks like. The reason that it is Latin gibberish is so you won't get hung up on, or distracted by, what it says. It's just a display of format. Select the "Lorem ipsum" text and start typing your content.

  • I reinstalled my plug-ins into Photoshop CC (2014) on Mac OSX 10.9.4, and they are greyed out in the Filters menu. How do I get them to work? I have tried everything including repairing permissions.

    My apologies. Your post jogged my little grey cells to the point that I did a few experiments. In essence, you are right. My plug-ins do not work with 8-bit greyscale images. I like to deliberately shoot B&W and have a Wratten #12 minus-blue filter on the lens--as I used to do with film cameras.
    The raw files ( Fujifilm's .RAF) were converted in Adobe CR by checking off "Convert to Grayscale" under the fourth tab. In the future, I will do the B&W conversion in Photoshop with either Nik or Topaz plug-ins.
    Thanks for your input!

  • HT201209 How do I get credit for money I already have to buy things?

    We have over $10 on our store credit to buy things. Whenever we try to buy anything, it asks for our billing info for our credit card. We want to use money from our gift cards. How do we get to use that instead of a credit card which we do not want to use?

    If you're trying to gift content, you can't. Otherwise, either the iTunes Store servers are checking the validity of your account and won't charge the card, or there's a problem at Apple's end; if the credit card is actually charged except as noted, ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • I am trying to log into my apple account and it is telling me my account is disabled.  How can i get it enabled again?  I have tried resetting my password and that did not work.

    I have tried to log into my apple account so I can download my songs onto my iPhone.  It keeps telling me my apple id is disabled.  I've tried resetting my password but that did not work.  How can I fix this?

    After resetting your password you might then need to log out of your account on your device by phone on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if it's on iOS 6) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I just upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, and whenever I try to open some apps I get this very annoying message: Connect to iTunes to use push notifications! How can I get rid of this? I have tried reset all settings but to no avail!

    How can I fix this?

    I had the same problem as well as problem signing in to both iMessage and Facetime (didn't want to activate my apple id).
    I solved it by...
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, and the most recent version of iOS installed on your phone.
    Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable. Click the File menu in iTunes, then select Devices > Back Up, and click on Back Up Now.
    To make sure the backup is complete, open the iTunes Preferences menu and click on the Devices tab. The name of your phone and the time of backup should appear. Once verified, disconnect the phone from your computer.
    Once you’re all backed up, turn on your new phone and complete the setup assistant. When you reach the screen that says Set Up iPhone, choose “Restore from iTunes Backup” and select the backup of your old phone you wish to use.
    Connect your new phone to iTunes, select the backup of your old phone, and click Continue.
    Wait until your phone has been fully restored before you use it. It will restart when ready.
    Keep your phone connected to iTunes to sync any data that wasn’t stored in your backup (like apps, music and video). You can check which data is synced through the syncing tabs in iTunes.
    Once backed up, you will still need to provide passwords for your email and voicemail, along with other synced accounts.
    Took about an hour all in all but managed to keep everything including camera roll and messages etc.

  • MyStart-by Incredibar - How do I get rid of it. I have tried resetting Firefox in all ways ad infinitum, and all the other suggestions I can find. I

    For the past few months I have been trying to get rid of MyStart by Incredibar. I have reset my computer to Firefox default, I have restarted Firefox with and without addons, I have searched with windows explorer and found and removed anything with incredibar and mystart and even file extensions. I am not particularly adept at understanding all the programming that constitutes the set up of my computer but with a step by step guide I can probably clean my machine. Please will someone help me just get rid of it.

    In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
    #From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
    #Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
    #You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
    #To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
    #Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
    You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
    [[Disable or remove Add-ons]]

  • How can I get iTunes Store to properly function on my windows 7 laptop? I have tried numerous things such as the MDos Promt, checked for firewall, checked for applications allowing iTunes to not be affected by anything. "Can't connect to network"

    How can I get my iTunes to function properly. It stopped working a couple of days ago and I can't figure how to get back and running. I have tried numerous things such as rebooting, checking for the network connection, applying it to open without security measures. Error message "Your connection time out. Check your connection." Even though I can get into the internet, iTunes is still not responding! Technical support help isn't helping!

    Just to close out ... the 'supervisor' was clueless as it turns out.  Apple does NOT have a deal with UPS on handling the Mini, so the person who gave me the info was wrong.  Did he call back?  No ... he just let me go out and find out myself.
    So I called again, and this time eventually ended up with a manager, who told me that the UPS Store thing wouldn't work, but that a box would arrive and then there would be a 'forced replacement'.
    About 10 minutes later he called back and said he discovered that EVERYTHING the supervisor did was wrong ... he didn't actually properly flag for auto-replace, so I would have gone through an identical cycle again!  So he had to restart the whole process, meaning I would get TWO 'coffins', but that I would then get an auto-replacement and would see that indicated in my support email.
    I got the email, saw 'auto-replace'.  Got the box on the 28th and immediately turned it around.  Apple got the box on the 31st, and on the 1st I got emails that my Mini would arrive on the 2nd and it also had the new serial #.
    Yesterday I grab the box from FedEx and go home to check it out.  As expected, it IMMEDIATELY worked on my WiFi without issue ... and has worked perfectly since.
    So ...
    - it was NOT my home network.
    - it WAS a hardware issue with the Mini
    - Apple does NOT do proper testing on the Mini to detect what appears to be a fairly common issue.
    - non-retail customers ARE treated as second-class by support.
    This issue took FOUR WEEKS to resolve, involved FOUR shipments back & forth, and the ONLY reason it got resolved was that *I* did the troubleshooting that Apple either would not or could not do.
    For someone who has been an Apple customer for more than 30 years, this has been a sobering experience ... I quite frankly expected much better from them.

  • How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?

    To be absolutely honest, I don't really understand what this box is for, so I shall just use it to repeat and expand on my question. (I have already sent a "Feedback" comment on the same topic).
    How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?
    It seems to me that there is something very basic wrong with the way iTunes handles CD Tracks.
    Professionally produced CD tracks are seldom if ever in a randomised order. Why then does iTunes seem unable to display the tracks in the order they appear on the original CD source - whether from a personally owned CD or from a download from the iTunes Store?
    Some music demands a specific, non-alphabetic sequence in order to make sense. Why does it seem that iTunes only offers Alphabetic, or reverse alphabetic order - both of which make a nonsense of the original, often intended order of tracks?
    Why not replace the so-called "cover-art" in the bottom left hand corner if the iTunes window - which, while it may look attractive to some, gives the barest of information concerning the original disc, with a list of the original CD tracks in their original order, so that the user can easily reestablish the order in which they should be played.
    As I would expect legibility might be a problem with doing this, why could not the original contents, (in their original order), at least, be displayed when the "cover art" is double clicked-on - the result of which at present gives me an enlarged version of the "Cover Art". While on the subject of the contents of the source disc, what about all the album notes which someone takes trouble to write in order to increase the appreciation of the music on the CD and the listener's general background knowledge of the artists involved. Such notes, it seems to me, have considerable intrinsic value in their own account. I would, I think, normally be prepared to buy such "Sleeve notes" - so long as a "taster" was supplied (as it is for the music) - for something like the cost of a single 'Tune" on iTunes.
    These two aspects let Apple iTunes down enormously, in my opinion. I think that by chopping even quite protracted sequences of music up into bits does no one any favours - except perhaps Apple's already quite substantial bank balance. People have to be aware that two and a half, to three and a half minutes is a very short time to develop a piece of worthwhile music, and that there are many, many composers, not all of whom are alive today who have written music that huge masses of mankind value for the enrichment of their lives and the human condition in general.
    Please make the viewing of iTunes tracks in their correct order by default possible. By all means have the alphabetical variations available as offering a different approach to the music, but not the sole approach to it - PLEASE.
    Frustratedly yours

    PS I work at my old 24" iMac Intel Core 2 machine which runs OS "Tiger" - because it is more beautiful to look at, the screen is more pleasant to work on, and because, in some ways it is more capable (it will run FreeHand MX without needing a "patch"), than my more recent 21.5" which runs "Snow Leopard". (I don't find it that much slower, either).

    Dear Mike
    Thanks for the support. I am utterly amazed that after all the hype about how good iTunes is that it cannot play a downloaded CD in the correct order, and that what that order should be is not available directly from within one's own iTunes installation. (I know that one can go back to the iTunes Store to check what the order should be, but having downloaded the tracks surely iTunes is clever enough to retrieve this important information.
    My iTunes to differ from yours in that I have also noticed that it seems unable to download copies of my "talking books" in the correct order either. But in my case it downloads them - from a CD - in order, but with the first track downloaded first - so that it appears at the bottom of the column of tracks so that it would get played last! (At least this is, while being inexplicable, a relatively "logical" bit of blundering and because of this is relatively easy to put right!).
    I like many genres of music, some of which are not really programmed except perhaps by the artist performing them. I know that Frank Sinatra was very careful to programme his album songs to obtain a particular effect and in relation to the keys of the music. iTunes presumes to know better.
    Film scores may be totally randomly put together, in some cases, but in others the order is vital to one's appreciation of the music as a whole and how it relates to the plot of the film.
    In symphonic music most works are divided into sections and are conceived by the composer that way. Some individual sections may gain a life of their own if played separately, but they are never complete in the sense that the composer envisaged them without being placed in their proper context.
    Opera and probably most choral music too, is similar except that the words may well become meaningless if the order is changed at the whim of a piece of ill-written computer code, while ballet music has to be heard totally within its sequential context or it becomes meaningless.
    Finally, I would venture that iTunes, by jumbling up the order of the tracks as recorded on a CD, does an immense disservice, not only to the music on a particular CD, but to music in general, by expressing everything in terms of "Songs" - which it seems to interpret as stand-alone items of between 2 and 4 minutes whatever the genre. Even the way the iTunes publicity speaks of how many "songs" it can store instead of how many minutes or hours of recorded sound. This has to be another brick in the wall of "dumming-down" of people's expectations, and the shortening of their attention spans.
    I don't know about anyone else, but I feel betrayed by Apple over this. Perhaps the look, feel and general presentation of an item are not the most desirable features of a consumer product. Maybe it should be judged more on it fitness for the purpose for which it was sold. There is one other possibility - that Apple are trying to redefine "Music" - and that everything that lasts longer than about 3.5 minutes or is in the form of what could for want of a better term be called symphonic in the broadest sense is something else - not "Music" within Apple's new definition, at all!
    Well that's off my chest! now I can get down to creating some sort of order in my iTunes Libraries, knowing that I have to reconsult all the sources in order to confirm the source playing order.
    Anyway thanks again. At least I know that it is not just me

    I am using KDE 4,My problem is I can't set my graphics display to 1440*900
    In my searching
    I've found this on the Ubuntu forum, which seems to be my issue. It doesn't matter what I set up in xorg.conf file, it ignores it.
    It references a file called "kcmrandrrc", which doesn't seem to exist on my system. I am not sure where KDE is getting the 320x200, 320x240, 400x300,...,640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 graphics modes. It's not from xorg.conf.
    I found this file...
    "krandrrc"
    Which contains the following...
    [Screen_0]

    What I was looking for was something along these lines:
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "Card0"
    Monitor "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    Option "NvAGP" "3"

    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 4
    Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 8
    Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 15
    Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 16
    Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"

    Then you put in the 1400x900 that you wanted in the Modes line.
    If you are to use Xorg -configure successfully, you will need to do it from a console screen.  If you are using like kdm or gdm,  I would suggest that you log out, then go to a console screen (<ctrl><alt><f1>) and then log in to an account.  You will need to su, and then issue the following command to shut down x: telinit 3  that command should shut down X and your login manager.
    After that you can run Xorg -configure and do whatever else you need with it.
    Then, to get back to what you had before, the command telinit 5 should restore you back to your gdm or kdm or whatever.  (Normally <Ctrl><Alt><F7> will get you back to your login manager, if it doesn't try F6 or F8 until you find it.)

  • HT201335 How do I get airplay to display more networks?

    I'm in my corporate office and there are 30 or so airplay networks.  I need to connect to a network that is not in the default list that appears.  How do I get airplay to display more networks?

    It should display the closest ones. I would ask someone around your office what the name(SSID) of the WIFI network that is your company(some "hide" the network). Just press "other" and manually type it in with the password. The ipad will automatically connect to it from now on.
    Edit: Or just go for a nice stroll around the building until it pops on the list. The list updates every few seconds or so(wheel turns..) Exercise too

    How do I get airplay to display content from my MacBook Pro?

    Turn on Airplay is display settings.
    Select Airplay mirroring to Apple TV.
    I Will assume you have already connected the Apple TV to your wifi and computer in the settings on the Apple TV.
    that should do it.... Unless you need more information.
