Missing Text and Blank Menu Items

I'm using the UK English version of Windows 8 64bit.
The Creative Cloud Desktop app seems to suffer from a number of blank labels and menu items.
Here's the main menu:
By trial-and-error, I can find the prefences option, which presents me with this:
My guess is that this is some kind of localization issue.
I've tried reinstalling Creating Cloud, but hte problem remains.
Any ideas?

I found a solution to this, in case anyone is seeing the same problem.
As I had suspected, the problem appears to be an isuse with a bad localization file. The trick is to remove the bad localization file.
Navigate to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\ACC\resource\Dictionary
In there, you should see a folder "en_try". Rename this to something else, eg "en_try.blah". This means the app will now fall back to using en_US.
I have no idea what en_try is, or why it's being used in preference to en_US, but this seems to fix the problem.

Missing preferences, tool bars, menu items after receiving CS3 file while I have CS2

I have Indesign CS2. I rec'd a CS3 file not knowing it was CS3. A message appeared as follows:
Cannot Open. Please upgrade your plugins to the latest versions, or upgrade to the latest edition of Indesign.
I went into HELP, Configure plugins. Chose "all" and "required" plugins. I then clicked ok and it said "All plugins available when you restart application" and it still wouldn't open. Then I was sent an exchange version of the same file and it still wouldn't open. I received this message:
Cannot open. InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing or the file may be open in another application.
After this I wasn't able to get my CS2 screen back the way it was before. There's no introduction when I open the program, my tool bars aren't present, and the menu items aren't as extensive as they were before.
It was then suggested I reinstall Cs2. I logged in under the administrator. CS2 was different than the way I had it before but the tool bars were present. I then logged in under my name and there are still problems;no tool bars, missing menu items, no intro, etc.
I then tried rebuilding my preferences using these instructions;
The fastest way to do this for InDesign CS2 (and any CS2 program) is to quit the program, then hold down Command-Option-Shift-Control immediately after starting it up again, and keep those keys held down. (On Windows, hold down Control-Alt-Shift.)
If you mashed on those keys quickly enough, youll get an alert when the splash screen appears offering to Delete InDesign Preferences File?. Click Yes, but dont release the modifier keys while you do so, because youre going to get a second alert to which you should also click Yes.
Now you can release the keys and InDesign will complete the boot-up process with fresh, clean Preferences.
Nothing happened so my program is still missing preferences, menu items and toolbars. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

First, you need to realize that resetting preferences will put them back to ground zero, not the way they were the last time you were happy.
You can try the key combination again and see if you are any faster (we're talking near instantaneous) or you can open your user profile, show hidden files and folders and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 4.0 and rename the two files InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData.
In your case, a better first option, I think, would be to try System Restore which you'll find in System Tools under the Programs > Accessories heading on the start menu. Go back to the first restore point before you tried to open the file, if you can.
In any case, for you to open a CS3 .inx file you will need to be fully patched the the last CS2 update, and you should expect to see some text reflow issues, as well as missing any CS3 features that the author used which aren't supported in CS2.

IChat is opening with a blank window and greyed menu items after I did a full restore from time machine (OS 10.9)

I recently did a full restore of my system from a time machine backup. Now the only thing that doesn't work is iChat. It opens with grey menu items and when a window finally appears it is blank. I tried deleting preferences files and the message cache, and I tried refreshing the keychain but nothing works.
I'm using the mid-2013 MacBook Air with the latest OS.

HI,
OS X 10.9.x does not have iChat
It has Messages which can do all the thing iChat did (minus iChat Theater) but with new interface that tends to highlight the use of the iMessages account which was added at Mountain Lion (Messages 7.x)
Was the machine running OS X 10.9.x before the back up ?
Have you tried starting in Safe Mode ?
If this work then Restart normally.
This restore from a Backup, is it using the same Mac User account ?
(i.e. have you "migrated" some stuff to a new Mac User Account)

MISSING: Tools- Configure SOA menu item in SOA Suite 11g TP4

Hi,
I have installed 11g TP4 Jdev and followed the install guide.
I didnt find the menu item 'Tools > Configure SOA...' itself... :((
May i know what i might hv missed ???
Thanks & Regards,

On the information page for SOA Tech Preview 4, there is a step called, Enable. You need to go to metalink to read the instructions there on how to enable SOA for TP4. Then the Configure SOA command will show up in the Tools menu.

Missing "Cycle through Windows" menu item or shortcut?

Am I missing something or is there indeed no "Cycle through Windows" menu item or shortcut in Pages 09?
Hope someone can advise.

It is very hard when you can't see what the other person is looking at and I have never seen a German keyboard, I only know that it is different.
I think the reason why the window cycling menu item is in Finder is that windows are really part of Finder and as Apple has made them global shortcuts they thought it was the only place to park the menu item.
Honestly I never knew it was there until now when I went looking for it. I always use the keyboard shortcuts which I stumbled on years ago.
I am glad you found a way around the problem.
Apple lives in their ivory tower in California and is nowhere as international as they used to be under the original Mac OS. Give them feedback, you are not the only one who has encountered this problem.

Missing text and functionality on install of itunes to Windows 7

Hi there - I've just installed itunes on a computer that's never had it before. There are several issues, the most obvious being I'm missing half the text and functionality as per my screen shot. My menu bar is about 2mm big and I can't see all the buttons to move between songs / albums / radio etc.
Searched the forum extensively but nothing has helped. I have completely uninstalled in the correct order. Removed all the temp files and checked all folders were also removed on uninstall. Rebooted. New download just in case. Installed as administrator. I get no error messages. But it doesn't make a difference.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

HI turingtest2,
Thank you!
I actually saw this trail after I posted and have been waiting for someone to send me the font file since. Installed and tah-dah! Working!
Thanks again!

Why are iTunes, View, Window, and Help menu items disabled?

I am frequently encountering an issue in iTunes 10.5 (141) where all the menu items in the iTunes, View, Window, and Help menus are disabled (greyed out). Why is this happening and can it be stopped?
I've seen this issue on different Mac OS X 10.7.2 machines. It seems to occur during playlist manipulation, where I'm making new playlists, adding items to them and editing them and the items. In the worst cases, I'm forced to quit and restart iTunes, although I have to quit by using the context menu option in the Dock as the Quit option is disabled in the application.
I'd appreciate any advice on workarounds for this that don't involve quitting and restarting iTunes.

I'm also having the same issue. It was happening with 10.5.1 and now still with 10.5.2. I'm using a 2008 iMac running 10.6.8. I do not use iTunes Match. This seems to happen for no apparent reason i/o/w, I can't determine a pattern as to when it happens, but it occurs about once in every 10 times that iTunes is open and it seems to happen after it's been open for a while, but again, no particular pattern.
Sometimes, all the menu items are grayed out, and other times, 70% of the menu items are grayed out. I can still use the other functionality in iTunes, but must must Quit from the dock (it quits gracefully and no Force Quit is necessary). Relaunching restores eveything to normal for about a week.
I work with technical diagnostic issues and can usually pinpoint a problem, isolate an issue, or determine a pattern, but this one has me stumped. I thought 10.5.2 might fix it, but no. Maybe 10.5.3?

Hi there,
Are you sure you downloaded it from mozilla.org and not from another site? There are unfortunately counterfeit sites out there that are trying to offer Firefox downloads when in reality they are malicious.
Go to www.mozilla.org and make sure you install Firefox from there and let us know if that makes things work for you.
Thanks!

ICal holidays missing - Find Shared Calendars menu item broken

In iCal, Calendar menu, Find Shared Calendars...
This menu item takes you to a broken (as of today) link:
http://www.apple.com/ical/library/

When clicking "Find Shared Calendars...," Leopard OS system sends IP packets to nwk-www.apple.com, 17.149.160.10.
・Source IP Address (private): 192.168.1.2
・Destination IP Address: 17.149.160.10 at the beginning of the session for "Find Shared Calendars..." procedure.
Leopard 10.5.1 sends a DNS query to connect 128.241.220.87 that is NTT America. Communications between Leopard and NTT America go for a while. So is Omniture's server followed. Some unique user's information is transmitted on all the servers communication.
Leopard queries DNS server (208.67.2222.222 which I set for Leopard) for metrics.apple.com (this seems to be a server for iTunes Store). What the deuce Leopard needs to call iTunes Store at the phase of finding iCal sharing calendar?
Besides, I have not been purchased any products from iTunes Store for years.
Actually, NTT America has been attempting odd access behaviors to my nodes for the recent few years before the business with Apple started whenever the hacker (I have been tracking him for three years.) is right behind me.
Now NTT America 128.241.220.87 replies to Leopard with the ACK (TCP Acknowledgement flag) bit. Next, nwk-www.apple.com (17.149.160.10) also sends Leopard a ACK bit simultaneously. Leopard answers it with the ACK. Now the DNS server replies the ten host addresses to the query of metrics.apple.com: appleglobal.112.2o7.net, 66.151.152.125, 66.151.152.126, 66.151.152.143, 128.241.21.13, 128.241.21.14, 128.241.21.15, 128.241.21.146, 128.241.21.149 and 128.241.21.163.
66.151.152.xxx = Omniture, Inc that provides web analytics solutions for internet channel monitoring. They operates the 2o7.net domains. For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omniture
128.241.21.xxx = NTT America, Inc. (http://www.nttamerica.com/products/index.php)
At the last session, Leopard queries "wsidecar.apple.com," but strangely the DNS server answer the canonical address which is "wsidecar.apple.com.akadns.net" with its address 17.149.160.15 but not DNS registered address 17.112.152.39.
17.149.160.15 (Apple's server but not 17.149.160.10) sends Leopard a FIN/ACK bit which means the TCP connection is closed by the server ONE-SIDEDLY despite Leopard answers to 17.149.160.15 with the acknowledgement to get ready for the US calendar sync data download start.
Here is a nslookup wsidecar.apple.com:
$ nslookup
wsidecar.apple.com
Server: 208.67.222.222
Address: 208.67.222.222#53
Non-authoritative answer:
wsidecar.apple.com canonical name = wsidecar.apple.com.akadns.net.
Name: wsidecar.apple.com.akadns.net
Address: 17.112.152.39
CONCLUSION: There are a few inconsistencies on TCP/IP communications.
My computer: Power Mac G5 Dual 2.7 GHz/5GB DDR SDRAM
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.1 and Mac OS X 10.4.11 for dual boot.

Missing Text and Menus in iTunes

Few weeks ago I noticed that there was missing key text and menus from my iTunes. At current it is mostly a inconvenience but there maybe a day soon that I might want to use these menus and functionality. I think this first started month or so ago after a windows update, but I am not certain. Currently iTunes is the only application that has the symtoms. I have tried resetting my fonts to default changing themes with no luck....
See picture below for example:

Missing icons, cannot open menu items

Yesterday I updates my software and when I restarted my computer I encountered several problems.
1) My hard drive icon is not shown on my desktop
2) I cannot open anything in the menus of the "Finder" toolbar"
3) I cannot not move or open any documents located on my desktop
4) Most of the widgets in dashboard are not showing and those that are are not working properly.
5) When I plug in my thumb drive nothing shows up on my desktop any more.
everything else seems to be working fine. any advise?
thanks

First, you need to realize that resetting preferences will put them back to ground zero, not the way they were the last time you were happy.
You can try the key combination again and see if you are any faster (we're talking near instantaneous) or you can open your user profile, show hidden files and folders and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 4.0 and rename the two files InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData.

Help needed to retrieve missing messages and folders; though items still present

Something happened, but I am not sure what.
TB had difficulty loading, and then afterwards one of my folders [ a sub-folder of Inbox ] was duplicated, and all of its sub-folders were missing.
if I search for a keyword to locate a message w/in on of the sub,sub folders , I find the messages ARE listed in the results panel, and the filter dialogue on the left side lists the folder name [ that is missing ] that they were in. However if I click on the message to load it in a new tab, the tab is blank
I tried the 'properties;repair folder' but I get only a 'busy' symbol [ spinning green circle ] and no eventual change.
Help!

Hi Essjay32,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
What you could do is to install the latest Nokia Suite beta, which can upload your contacts to Skydrive. When you get your Lumia 900, you can just use that Microsoft account as your main account and the contact data should be there waiting for you. Unfortunately, it is not possible to transfer your messages to a Lumia phone, you can however store your existing messages on Nokia Suite.
When connecting your phone to your computer (using a USB cable), press the menu button, as it will set up your phone in Nokia Suite mode. After this you should be able to access your phone data and upload it to Skydrive.
Hope this helps!

Symbols show instead of text in itunes (menu items only)???

Hi can anyone help me please? My itunes is suddenly showing square like symbols instead of text, does anyone know how to fix this please?

Whats happened is somehow the itunes program language settings was changed from english to another language thats not installed on your PC, therefore nothing but squares show (Usually some asian language like chinese). I will try to direct you on how to change it back to english even tho you can not read it.
1) Open itunes and at the top where you would normally see File,Edit,View ect ect. Goto the second listing from the lefthand side (This is edit) then on that menu pick the last thing at the bottom (This is preferences)
2) Select the first tab from the lefthand side (General tab) and at the bottom where you see a dropdown menu is the Language section.
3) Open the dropdown menu and select the 5th listing down (This is english)
4) At the bottom righthand corner where you would normally see "OK" and "Cancel", pick the first button from the lefthand side (This is OK)
5) Now for the language to take you need to close itunes, then reopen it
