I seem to have lost the red, green, and yellow dots that are in the upper left hand corner that close or minimize the page. How can I get them back?
You may have to try a general OS X troubleshooting process to see if the issue goes away by doing this...
Have you tried: starting the computer in SafeBoot mode, with shift key held down; a login screen should appear after a time, and then the regular desktop. At this point, locate Disk Utility in utilities folder, and run 'repair disk permissions' on the startup volume, usually the name given the hard disk drive as it appears on desktop. After Disk Utility is finished the permissions repair, restart the computer normally.
...The iTunes player has free support only through the duration of the hardware product's complementary or AppleCare extended plan coverages, so though you can download a newer version, that is not the same as free support for an issue. However, the iTunes Store or App Store has a different factor for their product.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
There is an iTunes area in Apple Support Community discussions for more topics like this; except for when they involve a hardware product where an OS X is involved. If your computer is NOT a powerPC (an 'intel'-mac) the topic would more naturally need to be posted where that hardware and later supported OS X version topics get seen. So that is why one asks 'on what Mac running what version...' instead of writing four paragraphs in a wide angle reply. The details about your iMac and the OS X say more; without them, more questions arise.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have a Mac Air. I use the mail application al the time. THe red, yellow, and green buttons disappeard. i have to force-quit now to close mail.. How do i get the buttons back? thanks.
Mail window may be in the Full Screen mode.
Move the mouse pointer to the top right corner of the Mail window and hold it there.
Menu bar should drop down and click the blue double arrow icon.
Full Screen toggle shortcut: control + command + F -
why when i fully expand my screen contents do i lose the red, yellow, and green buttons at the top left used to close, expand, and minimize
That's just the way it is in full screen mode. You need to come out of FS to see the dots again.

Why can't I open pdf file? Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't open either
I get the same thing... no matter what site i try to pull a pdf for IE10, it gives me the black x... if i use chrome it works, but my client does not want to use a different browser.
I followed the guide that Pat posted... nothing worked... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Adobe reader, Adobe flash,.. upgraded to IE11, then back to IE10 due to medical software that is not compatable with IE11...
The kicker is that my Admin profile works just fine.. no issues.. so i know it has something to do with his profile....
Please.. someone... help!!! -
Hello i have somehow lost the red yellow and green indicators are the top of safari
Hello I have somehow lost the red,yellow & green indicators in the top right screen in safari and also have lost the "goole glass" search in the top right hand corner of safar. Help?
I suspect you have turned on the Full Screen mode. Move your mouse to the top of the screen, click the View menu and choose Exit Full Screen.

Red, Yellow and Green button are grey. "Show All" button disappears
I'm having two issues that I can not figure out.
First the red, yellow and green buttons are grey not colored. They still work but they do not show the correct color.
The second problem is that the "Show All" button in system preferences is not visible until I float over the are where it should be. The button still works but is not visible.
I can not figure out what happened or if the two situations are related.
Any thoughts?
-RichNot sure on your other issue yet, but here's a suggestion for those buttons.
Open System Preferences and click the Appearance option. Is it set to Graphite? Switch to Blue.
I'll see if I can find a solution for your other problem as well!
Edit: Can't hurt to try removing the preferences file and see if that fixes things.
Click *Macintosh HD*, then Users> Library> Preferences. Delete--or move to the desktop--the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file. Restart your computer. Any changes?
Try another user account as well to see if the button reappears.

The little square in the upper left hand corner that said firefox isn't there either. In the passed I had clicked on that and enabled my fire fox bookmark. When it gave my instructions to fix this I was suppose to click on the firefox, but now it isn't there to click on.

The flash player only shows a tiny portion of a video in the upper left hand corner of the window
Why is the player window not displaying the video thru the whole open flash window and only uses a tiny portion in upper left hand corner to play the downloaded video??
Hi, you can go to youtube and as soon as the video starts to play, right click and then uncheck the hardware acceleration on the Display Setting. Also being recommended is to update your grapic and video drivers to the latest version.
This has helped other users experiencing this problem.
Thanks,

I lost the round red, yellow, and green buttons in the upper left hand corner in Safari. Does anyone know how to get them back?
Has Safari taken up the entire screen? If so, then that's 'Full Screen Mode', which you can toggle on or off with Control+Command+F.

Hi, I seem to have lost my original images and unwanted images have moved into my library. I couldn't access lightroom as I would normally and was provided with a default option which I clicked. This all occured while I was trying to free up space on my computer while viewing saved images on my hard drive, which are linked up directly to a photoshop elements program. Please tell me this can be fixed.....
Hi there,
I don't believe I did move or delete my catalogue. Where can I look for my catalog file. Why does my Lightroon now contain more images and ones I don't want on it, without my physically importing them?
Thanks

What else can I say? I used to have an orange rectangular box or button with Firefox on it, in the upper left hand corner of my screen. When I clicked on it a drop down pad appeared. IT'S GONE!
Right click menu bar, untick "menu bar" in the options that you see.

My Firefox 4.0 does not look anything like the videos you show about the features of the new Firefox. My screen looks totally different than yours. It does not have the orange box in the upper left hand corner of the screen. My screen still looks like the old version. I have the logo on the top of my screen with Ask a Question a vertical line Firefox Help - Mozilla Firefox.
Under this line I have File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. Below this line is a tab with Ask a Question Firefox Help and a +. My husbands screen looks identical to the orange Firefox Box in the upper left of screen. I would like my screen to look identical to the ones shown in your videos. I only have one version of Firefox 4.0 my husband does have the Firefox 4.0 plus the Beta version. How do I add the Beta version? I have Windows Vista running systems. Please help. Thank youYou're welcome
