"Rename" missing from Finder context menu

The Rename feature on the Finder Context menu has been very useful to me.
Got an error message while trying to rename several folders.
Now the Rename feature is missing from the Finder context menu.
OS 10.10 Yosemite, 27" iMac
Just recently purchased at Thunderbolt hard drive enclosure (Akitio Thunder2 Quad enclosure) and the error happened while renaming files on the Thunderbolt drive. Now the rename feature is missing from all drives.
I've tried:
rebooting - no help
ejecting the Thunder2 quad and rebooting - no help
power down the Thunder2 and rebooting - no help

More Submenu is Missing in Finder Context Menu

The tutorial on how to use automator at
http://macosxautomation.com/automator/examples/ex03/index.html
has the following paragraph
At the bottom of the Finder Contextual Menu is a sub-menu named More. Choose Automator > Create Workflow... from the sub-menu. A new Automator window will open, displaying a workflow that begins with an action that lists the items that were selected in the Finder.
More submenu is missing on my Snow Leopard. Is there any other way to get the same functionality besides opening Automator directly.
My main concern is how do I know that I have Automator workflow assigned to the folder that's applied every time when I add files.

For a Service, they are stored in your user/Library/Services. You should also have a Workflows folder in Library. I couldn't tell if I was just putting them there or that was the default. Mine is organized by Applications, and inside that there is a Folder Actions folder.
For your example, did you create a Folder Action for the Trash folder? What file does it update the modification date for?
For your question about know what it is working on, there are various ways to designate the files that it acts on depending on the type of workflow it is. A service passes whatever was right-clicked, including a multiple selection. In a standard workflow you would use a particular action like Get Selected Finder Items or Get Specified Finder Items. In a Folder Action, it gets what was added to the folder. The Automator interface only works on Adding, but if you use Applescript, you can create a folder action that handles Opening, closing, or moving a folder window, and when deleting files from a folder.

"Edit in Photoshop Elements" missing from windows context menu.

How do I get the "Edit in Photoshop Elements" back in my context menu? I think what happened was that after installing PSE 13 I uninstalled PSE 12 and that may have removed the context menu item. Just guessing. Is there a way to add it back without re-installing PSE 13?

Right click on a photo file of the type that you will want to open in PSE. In the context menu, mouse over Open With to open the menu. Select "Choose default program" and in the window that opens select PSE 13 if it appears in either Recommended or Other. If it isn't shown, choose Browse and navigate to the PSE 13 .exe file in Programs/Adobe/Photoshop Elements. If you want files of this type to always open in PSE when double-clicked, check the box "Always use the selected program". If you want PSE 13 to only appear in the Open With menu, be sure the box is not checked. Click OK.

Missing " Create Sample Java Client" from the context menu when debugging

Jdev 11.1.1.3 on Windows 7 x64
I have created an EJB - Session Bean from the ADF components and have put some logic into it with one public method.
I have exposed the method in the local interface.
I start the integrated server in the debug mode
When I right-click there is no option to do the sample client.
Am I missing a plug-in - like JUnit or something?
From the manual:
The integrated Oracle WebLogic Server runs within JDeveloper. You can run and test EJBs quickly and easily using this server, and then deploy your EJBs with no changes to them. You do not need to create a deployment profile to use this server, nor do you have to initialize it.
To run a sample client on the integrated Oracle WebLogic Server: In the Application Navigator, right-click on an EJB and choose Run.
Notice in the Message pane that Oracle WebLogic Server has been launched. Right-click on an EJB and choose Create Sample Java Client from the context menu. The default choice is to create a client for the integrated Oracle WebLogic Server, so click OK.
The client is created and opens in the code editor. If your session bean serves as a facade over JPA entities, code is generated to instantiate the query methods. If you exposed methods on your bean, the generated client contains methods that can be uncommented to call them.
After your EJB has been successfully started from the Application Navigator, right-click on the sample client and choose Run.

Shay,
Pretty much what I did exactly - except - since my apps are all using the local interface - I did not create the remote.
This may be an old habit - but generally it is not a good practice to do both - though this may have changed lately.
I have this app working and the EJBs are executing fine.
I used a testview and drug the method onto it - and was able to debug it that way - but still no create java client in the menu.
Is there any other place to find this other than the context menu? Then I can check to see if it is available.
I am using WLS 10.3 that ships with Jdev 11.1.1.3 (forgot that little bit) without any changes.

HT4836 duplicate finder context menu items Mountain Lion

I paid money to upgrade to 10.8.2 Is it a bug-or-feature? I have upgraded all my apps I purchased though iTunes. I get 2-Opera, 2-Pages, 3-TextWrangler, 3-xCode, items in my Finder Context menu. I need to Remove (maybe add items later). Where is the OSX documentation to do things a PC-Mac-Hybrid Programmer like me needs to. Does Apple provide any real, reliable documentation or just hit-or-miss help-yourselves-communities.

From the context menu I want to always search using Google dot CA, not dot COM

I have already edited "keyword.URL" in about:config This didn't work for the context menu when you highlight a term to search and use the "Search Google for...
It works for typing the search term directly into the URL address bar, but not the search from the context menu.

I already had Google selected there. This still uses dot com for the resulting search page that opens, I wanted to have it open with google dot ca.
I just found this add-on from [http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=google.ca MyCroft Project]
Part way down this page, number 5, is [http://mycroft.mozdev.org/jsreq.html Google.ca Search Bar] . Click the previous link to add this engine to the list of the FireFox search engines (on the drop down menu) did the trick, so I guess I solved my own problem. See attached menu capture. I hope this helps someone else, as it took me quite a while to find. It wasn't found in any of the standard Add-Ons you can find at the usual Mozilla multiple pages of add-ons

Photomerge command has gone missing from File Automate - menu

Was using Photomerge command successfully in PS and at some point later PS crashed and locked my Mac. I restarted and now the Photomerge command is missing from the File Menu. I asked Adobe support for help, they had me reinstall latest PS but it's still not there.
Is there anywhere in the PS Folders I can check for a file associated with this command (like there are for Scripts for example) and could possibly replace?
I also tried initiating the command from Lightroom with a set of images selected and using the relevant contextual menu and it produces an error saying Photoshop could not be launched (it is launch though).

Hi and thank you. Yes Photomerge.jsx is there in the scripts folder. Although when I go to launch other scripts from within PS using the File> Scripts… menu I get the following error:
Could not complete the Image Processor command because Photoshop was unable to find the JavaScript plug-in
How can I get it?

Why is the "Send to iDVD" command missing from the share menu in iPhoto 9.4.3 when trying to send a slideshow to iDVD?

How come the "Send to iDVD" command is missing from the share menu? In iPhoto I used to be able to send my slideshows to iDVD simply my clicking on the slideshow, selecting the "Share" menu at the top and going to "Send to iDVD". Now in iPhoto 9.4.3 that option is missing.
Further i am also using iDVD 7.1.2 and running OSX version 10.8.3.
Thanks!

Export the slideshow via the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window with Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, choose a theme and drag the exported movie file to the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Set Firefox to open a new tab without selecting it from the context menu by two-finger tapping in Lion

In Snow Leopard, I had somehow set the two finger tap to open a new tab either from a link on a page or from my bookmarks bar, without having to select "Open a new tab" from the context menu. I recently upgraded to Lion and I can't remember how I set this feature-- or is it just not available anymore?

There is a plugin for this and you can configure it as shown in the attached screen to open all links from the web page in a new tab by just clicking on it and not having to follow the native steps

Printing from Explorer context menu prints in wrong scale

Hi,
I have a problem with a customer; when they right-click a PDF file and choose "Print" from Explorer context menu the actual printout is sometimes printed in the wrong scale, ie it looks zoomed. The same problem exists when printing PDF's from other applications as well, for example Outlook. If they print the same PDF one more time (by right-click-printing) the problem may resolve itself. Sometimes it's enough to print twice, other times they need to do it more times. The problem exists in several computers, which is why i want it to be a problem with some default-settings in Adobe Reader.
What might cause this behavior ?

So, 4 years have passed, and one would hope the problem solved itself in some update the last 4 years.
However, it has not. (Well, actually it was fixed for a short while. Then it broke again:()
I do have some fresh information that can help you devs at Adobe to maybe get closer to a solution.
Just before christmas (nov 22) i was doing a new attempt to solve the problem.
At the time Reader XI had been released, but not yet installed at the client. Crossing my fingers and praying to higher powers i downloaded XI and gave it a shot; and the problem actually went away! My theory was that finally some architectual change had been implemented; or parts of Reader had been rewritten for any reason. Anyhow, the problem was gone after nearly 4 years and both me and the client was happy!
Today the client called again. The PDF-printouts are zoomed again. Worse than ever. Now, EVERY PDF that's printed was getting zoomed (if printed from another program.). When printing, Reader flashes by the screen; so i guess the app does something like "adobe.exe /print %temp%\whatever.pdf" or however it works.
I immediately suspected that an update had been installed and broke the Reader again. This was the case. 11.0.06 had been auto-installed last week. After searching adobe site for 30 minutes i finally found the downloads required to get 11.0.05 installed and running again. *poof* problem gone. Every print is good.
SOO..
11.0.05 does not contain the bug that makes most printouts zoomed. (WORKS)
11.0.06 contains the bug again. (DOES NOT WORK)
So, whatever changes are in that update broke the Reader for the client again.
ADOBE: Hope this gets u closer to a solution!
PEOPLE: If you are experiencing the same problem as my client, please try my solution. It just might help you.
ps. oh, and where u download older versions from adobe.com is
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows
Install order:
- 11.0.01                AdbeRdr11000_mui_Std.zip
- 11.0.04 patch      AdbeRdrUpd11004_MUI.msp
- 11.0.05 patch      AdbeRdrSecUpd11005.msp
Im not sure if installing Multilanguage/All Languages makes a difference.

My icons are missing from finder and Safari.

Not sure what I have done. My icons are missing from finder and Safari, tired the customise tool bar option with no joy, please help.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

"Toolkit for CreateJS" Missing from Flash CC Menu

I'm a Creative Cloud user running the latest version of Flash Professional CC on my 27" iMac running OSX Mavericks. I want to export an animation file using CreateJS. However, the "Toolkit for CreateJS" option is missing from my "Window" drop down menu - it's not even grayed out, it's just not there. Using the alternate of Shift+F9 doesn't work either. I tried downloading the CreateJS extension from Adobe but is says I need to be running CS6 for it to work, and that "Toolkit for CreateJS" is supposed to come pre-installed in Flash CS Pro. But it's not there. This is very frustrating, and I'd be deeply grateful for any help someone could give me. Thanks!

HTML5 publishing with the new update is now more inetgarted with the application and we now have a new document type called "HTML Canvas" which publishes using the same CreateJS libraries.
The Toolkit for CreateJS panel is no longer present with the new update, but the HTML5 publishing using the toolkit is now intgerated as part of the HTML canvas document type that you will see new in this update.
Please refer to:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/using/whats-new.html#Creating%20and%20pub lishing%20HTML5%20Canvas%20content
Also you can convert your previously created AS3 document that publish to HTML5 into HTML5 Canvas documents. This is also mentioned in the documentation below:

Pre-configure save location for converting files to PDF from shell context menu

Hi all,
I like Acrobat's integration into the Windows Explorer through the shell context menu command "Convert to PDF", which allows me to drag select a number of files (word documents et cetera) to batch convert them into PDF. It beats doing batch processing fr the Acrobat interface.
However, it asks me for the save location of each file individually. I would like to have them saved in the same directory as the original file, as the default option so I won't have to attend to the conversion. I can't find such an option in Acrobat's preferences menu though
Any gurus or users here know of a way around that?
Regards,
Jay

Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on? If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
Does your user have a custom template? Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat?? If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.
