Minimize, Maximize, and close buttons are missing and nothing fixes the problem. What can I do next to fix this problem?

I use windows 7. These buttons work but invisible. I saw someone on this forum that had the same problem but he uses xp so I think his solution will not work for me. Please, someone help me.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You can also try a different Windows theme.

Even in Safe Mode, minimize, restore, and close buttons are missing, though the functions remain, and a dialog box now comes up when opening FF.

Ever since I installed the latest Firefox update, the minimize, restore, and close buttons are visually missing, though their functions are still present.
I have also started to have one of those dialog boxes asking whether or not I would like to allow a program to make changes to my PC come up when I open Firefox.

Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

Hi, i've just bought my first macbook pro, i just installed office mac and when i open the page i cannot see the minimise maximise and close buttons as it's hidden behind the apple menu bar, also when it's at full screen, those buttons do not appear

Try to edit the size of the page using the sides of the page, or if you are desperate, force quit using command-Q. In full screen put your cursor on the top of the page, and the menu bar will appear. If it doesn't keep "pushing" it up until it does. Hope this helps!

You should first uninstall iTunes completely.
This is not an easy task!
Read this article on how to remove iTunes completely
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
Then download the latest version of iTunes for your Windows Version and install it.

Using Tiscali Webmail with Firefox 6. If I try and delete an email the Ok and Cancel buttons are disabled and nothing happens, have to use F5 to take me back. IE8 works so is this a compatibility issue?

I bought a movie on my 1st generation apple tv and it isn't automatically transferring to my computer so I can watch anywhere. Anyone have this problem? Is there a solution?

I bought a movie on my 1st generation apple tv and it isn't automatically transferring to my computer so I can watch anywhere. Anyone have this problem? Is there a solution?

AppleTV1 can sync with 1 iTunes library - the top one listed in Settings>Computers.
Other libraries are 'shared' or streaming only, and appear under the top entry.
You basically need to remove the current iTunes library from AppleTV - select it and remove it - then adfd it again as the to 'sync' compuetr entry.
NOTE - changing the sync liubrary wipes AppleTV of data though apparently it does not delete items not yet reverse synced to iTunes. If it buggers up contact iTunes store support.

I purchase songs from Itunes and as soon as I sync my phone, the song gets deleted. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I purchase songs from Itunes and as soon as I sync my phone, the song gets deleted. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I have random songs that a have paid for but they just disappear, or cannot be downloaded and so on. Sometimes they are indexed wrongly, and can't be found because of that, no work around because also the search function of itunes has gotten totally unusable. Not much fun to be an apple user anymore. I once used to be a very loyal user. My first apple was a Macintosh SE and an image writer II.

Why did the browser window's title bar, menu, minimize, maximize, and close buttons all disappear, and how do I get them back?

I am literally stuck in Firefox. Suddenly the window changed to full screen mode, and the title bar and Firefox menu disappeared, along with the close, minimize, and maximize buttons. All I can access are the menu bar and open browser tabs.
I can't even access my dock (on Mac), which usually pops up when I mouse over the bottom of the screen.
So, the only way it seems I can get out of Firefox is to shut down my computer by pressing the power button. Unless there is some keyboard shortcut. I tried command-11 but that just switched between open my browser tabs.
FYI i have no idea what Ubuntu is and don't think I'm using it (that name seems to pop up when I google this problem)
Oh yeah, also I'm using Firefox 3.6.2 because my elderly Mac is running on OSX 10.4.11. Have never had any problems with it before.

IN your iTunes library, does the movie appear with a cloud on it for downloading?
is the movie still in the iTunes Store?
iTunes purchases the rights to sell a movie, but those are for a time limit. If the right expires and apple doesn't renew, the movie is no longer available for download and must be saved in your library. I suggest backing up your movies ASAP. Check the store for this movie, perhaps it is still available.

Minimize, Maximize, and Exit Buttons are Missing

I can not view the minimize, maximize, and exit buttons unless I enter full-screen viewing. I have all add-ons turned off.

You may not see those buttons clearly if they get hidden by the transparency on Windows 7.
Right click in a free space on your desktop. 
Left click on Personalization. 
There are four options in Windows 7 at the bottom of the screen, choose "Window Color and Appearance". 
Select a border color 
Uncheck: "Enable transparency"

My Minimize, Maximize, and Close Buttons are not functional in Firefox 13.0.1

I recently downloaded Firefox 13.0.1.. For the past several days the minimize, maximize, and exit buttons located in the top right hand corner have been non functional almost immediately upon starting a browser session. I have tried disabling plugins with no success. I have experienced the same problem when running safe mode. I have attempted to disable hardware accelerators. I have even tried resetting to default settings.. For the record
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) with 2 GB of RAM as well as Norton Antivirus.. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi rosmaninho
Can you please start a new thread for your question?
Then you can provide more information like your operating system and installed extensions and installed plugins.
*[[/questions/new start a new thread]]
*[[/kb/Using+the+Troubleshooting+Information+page]]
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Right click edit gone and toolbar buttons are black and white, HELP! CS6 Dreamweaver, post update.

Right click to edit is gone and buttons are grayscale in CS6 Dreamweaver. Between yesterday and today my toolbar buttons went from color to grayscale and my ability to right click code and choose edit is gone. I did the update they pushed out. Ideas?

The Creative Cloud version of DW changed a bunch of stuff, I think the Edit Tag dialogue was one of them. Here's a few links discussing the changes...

Try "restoring" your Touch.
Restoring iPod touch
Make sure you have an Internet connection and have installed the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.
Restore iPod touch:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer. 2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the Devices list, then click Summary at the top of
the screen.
3 Click “Check for Update.” iTunes tells you if there’s a newer version of the iPod touch software available.
4 Click Restore. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the restore process. When restoring, it is recommended that you back up iPod touch when prompted.
When the iPod touch software has been restored, you can either set it up as a new iPod touch, or restore your music, videos, app data, and other content from a backup.
