2nd tier menus do not function

Hi.
I have a problem with menus on any application.
If I click on Edit, and there is another menu off of that to the right, if I move my mouse to it, the menu disapears.
However, if I hold the mouse button down, I can move to the option, and click the menu item
(Im hoping this makes sense)
Anyone got any ideas how I can fix this?

Let me clarify this.
If I click on to any menu option at the top of the screen, and move the mouse along to the Right (or left), the next item in the menu is not selected. Basically you shoudl be able to hover the mouse over the menus for selection.
However, my Mac is not doing this.
It will only work if I hold the left button.
Im using a cordless Logitech Mouse.
If I open a PDF file and scroll using the contents is highlighted, so it seems possibly that teh left click is stuck or something?
I reset the PRAM and the menu worked only once.
I have repaired permissions as well.

Transitions, Photos, Music, Text buttons do not function. How to fix/troubleshoot the issue?

I'm trying to perform edits onto one of my videos and trying to insert text, transitions, and music. Unfortunately, the buttons to open those menus do not function any more. They only grey out like they would normally when clicked and that is it. Thus far I've tried to close and re-open the app, and I have not had any luck searching online for a solution (maybe I was looking in the wrong places or wrong ways?). Anyone else run into this situation or have a solution/troubleshooting help?
Thanks.

Oops, sorry, forgot about that. I have a early-2011 Macbook Pro. OSX 10.8.4 and iMovie 9.0.9

Firefox 5 updated - now it does not function - just a blank window. Pull down menus appear but do not function. Am I missing an obvious point to allow this browser to function?

I do not understand how to correct this malfunction.

I suspect it has something to do with the java but not sure
Just so you'll know, there is no Java on that page. There is, however JavaScript. You should know that those two things are different as night and day.
To fix your problem, change this -
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
</script>
</head>
to this -
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;

Drop Down Menu not functioning

I'm very VERY new to dreamweaver/fireworks but have been making small changes to multipul websites for a company. They have asked me to come up with a totally new design for their primary webpage and I'm having an issue with the drop-down menu.
I'm created the menu in fireworks using the hotspot tool and it "previews" just fine in both fireworks and dreamweaver. I went through the export process in fireworks and exported the hotspots/images and html code into my primary folder for the website. I pasted the html-code in the location that I wanted on the webpage.
When I upload the page and go to view it the drop-down-menu does not function properly. I have to add an <div> after my .jpg banner for the images of the dropdown to appear. Even then the pull-down-menu does not show up properly.
*Side note* the page also loads VERY SLOWLY now, not sure why. In an attempt to start over I access the "remote view" of the webpage through dreamweaver and deleted all but the "Admin" folder which it did not allow me to delete? Did I majorly mess something up here?
I'm also attachin and image that is a screenshot of what the menu/root folder looks like in dreamweaver

Firstly, the link to the imported stylesheet is wrong - it appears to be pointing to your hard drive: that needs to be fixed and if it relates to the menu, likely the reason why the menu isn't visible.
@import url("../../../../../../../../S|/All Users Documents/Graphics/Chris/Greater Michigan PMC/indexpulldown.css");
Are you working in a defined DW site? It's very important that you are - it's the way that DW keeps track of all the links and paths.
Define a site:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/140/tn_14028.html
Next: Those FWs exported dropdowns are atrocious, there was a reason the functionality was removed from the latest FWs and DW.   Even though a CSS version is available, it may be ok to use for protyping for certainly not for live production sites.

There are much better ways to build a dropdown menu, one of them is the Spry Menu available in CS3 and CS4. They too, can cause issues, but at least the links throughout your site are inside the html code, not in the javascript.

I'm not really sure what you mean and which folders you deleted from where ;-)

CS6.0 & CS5.5 Master Collection InDesign Font Control bar & Characters Panel not Functioning

Hi, I am a college student and our college a year ago sent me CS5.5 Master Collection InDesign at that time the font control bar was not functioning correctly on my PC. Our class was about Adobe Illustrator so our instructor rather than deal with it had us just cut and paste things into MS Word.
Now a year and half later I am taking a college course in Adobe Photoshop . . CS6.0 Master Collection InDesign once again the collection is the Student and Teacher Licensing for Windows. The same thing is happening now we are REQUIRED to this semester to create a Calendar using our own photos and create a INDESIGN layout using our photos we took for our course. In this version of CS6.0 InDesign I figured they would of fixed it by now, but the "Control Panel is still not working, nor is the Character Panel that you pull up to the side of InDesign. I am able to use the pull down menus and do things from there, but the point of taking this course was to learn the software, how can we students use the software if it is not functioning properly.
NOTE I AM EXPERIENCEING THE SAME THING WITH ALL SIDE PANELS NOW TOO.
Oh yes it changes the font name when you use the pull down window from the top menu, but it is not allowing us to use the CONTROL BAR just under the MENU BAR, nor the side panel I pulled up and am showing there. In ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR I can use the character panel just fine, but not in InDesign.
In Illustrator when I go to launch it I get this error, I have done as it asked but it still is bring this up at launch. I can go in and use Illustrator just fine, except for this error.
Someone thought I may of installed it incorrectly, so I removed all ADOBE software from my computer ran maintenance and virus scans and reinstalled the software, a whole day wasted, but it still is doing the same thing.
a) Thinking that this is a limitation placed on the software by Adobe because it is a Student Teacher Edition?
b) There's a problem with having OpenType and TrueType fonts on hand?
c) Adobe has a software problem that they have yet to resolve?
d) There is something somewhere within the software I need to flip a switch on?
Our instructor I gather who owns his own business his works just fine on his PC, but then because it is his business software it makes me think it has to do with the Student Teacher Edition.
I have more than enough RAM and hard drive space the Processor is a AMD A8-3800 APU with Radeon(tm) HD. Graphics is 2.40 GHz. It is a 64-bit Operating System. Oh I am using a Windows OS 7.0 Professional .
This is the only piece of software that I have come accross that will not function correctly on my computer system since it's purchase Jan of 2012.

There is no difference between the commercial and educattional versions of the products other than the license terms. The software itself is the same.
Since you are on windows 7, the first question is are you using large fonts in the Windows interface? Large fonts combined with an Aero theme are deadly to ID. See InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)
If this doesn't apply, the next thing to try is replacing your preferences. See Replace Your Preferences
Do you use a font manager? If so, which one?
Does the account you are using have adminsitrator privileges? Shouldn't matter, but it would be worth trying a new account that does.
It's still possible that the installation failed in some way. That Illustrator error certainly makes it look like a strong possibility, and there may have been some left-over crud from the first failed install that was not replaced the second time. If the things above don't clear up the problems, I would suggest Deactivating the suite from an applicatin that will open, and uninstalling again, then run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) which will remove all traces of the previous installations. Reboot, then before reinstalling run MSConfig and turn off all non-essential startup programs and services, especially any virus or maware scanners, third-party firewall, instant messengers, iTunes and all browser helpers and toolbars, then close MSconfig and reboot. Log in as an Administrator (the actual Adminsitrator account would be best, but it may not be turned on). When the warning comes up about diagnostic mode continue to boot (cancel MSConfig if it opens), then run the installer again. You can now run MSconfig to restore normal startup and reboot once more.

Spry Menu Issues - Not functioning correctly in Microsoft IE

Hi there,
I am fairly new to web design and dreamweaver.
I have constructed a simple page that I am happy with complete with Spry Menu which again I am happy with. However this spry menu works perfectly in firefox but for some reason on IE my spry menu does not function correctly and goes all over my page!

Any help with this would be fantastic as I need this to be resolved before the end of the week.
Any further information required please message me to find out.
Thanks,

THE CONFLICT IS BETWEEN YOUR DOCUMENT CSS AND THE SPRY CSS.
It is because the <li> and <a> TAGS have been styled and therefore OVERRIDDEN THE SPRY CSS.
Use CLASS TAGS e.g. <li class="anyclass"> and <a class="anyclass">
and STOP USING THE <a> TAGS.
N.b. you may need to unstyle any <a> or other TAGS that conflict with the SPRY CSS. (However it's best to start over knowing that styling basic tags may affect the SPRY CSS).

Static thumbnail images not functioning (Encore 1.5.1)

I've been using Encore 1.5.1 (Build 42735) for many years now on this PC (AMD X2, Shuttle XPC P2500G), and have had no problems. However, in the last couple of weeks, the following symptom has developed...
My typical workflow is to encode M2V files using Premiere Pro 1.5.1, then import them as timelines into Encore 1.5.1. Once the timeline is created, I then set the chapter points, create menus, select video buttons, etc. Ultimately, I set thumbnail images for each video button using the "SET POSTER FRAME") option (based on frames from the M2V timeline), preview the project, then create a DVD image.
The Problem - When I try to "set poster frames" using timelines associated with M2V files, the image that appears in the menu editor's video button is severely distorted. (In some cases, the image is also upside down!) The image is corrupt when previewing the project and when the DVD is burned.
This only seems to happen when I use M2V files AND I make the buttom image static. In other words, if I check "Animate Buttons", the thumbnail image in the menu editor is corrupt, but previews and burns correctly. Also, if I use AVI files instead, everything works perfectly.
By the way, preview/playback of the actual M2V timeline works fine. It's almost as if Encore's menu editor is now having trouble interpreting the data from the M2V file.
As I stated before, I've been using M2V files in Encore since 2004 with no issues, and in the last few weeks this problem has begun. Has anyone out there encountered this problem? If so, what is causing it and is there a solution?
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

I've done some additional testing... But first a little background.
I have 2 PCs with almost identical software installed on them, including Premiere Pro 1.5.1 and Encore DVD 1.5.1. Although the hardware is different, I've configured these machines to be able to share any project I've EVER created. Any software installed on the first PC (built in 2003 - XP Home SP2) has been duplicated on the second PC (built in 2005 - XP Pro SP2). In fact, whenever I upgrade software on one machine, I always upgrade both to keep them in synch. Since 2005 I've been able to move projects back and forth between these two PCs with no problem whatsoever.
Now the test...
I created a different five minute m2v file on each PC using the media encoder (v1.1) within Premiere Pro 1.5.1. (Remember, that's my normal workflow.)
I took the m2v file from the older (and still functioning correctly) PC, then used that file to create Encore projects on both PCs. I took the m2v file created on the newer (and currently not functioning correctly) PC and created Encore projects on both PCS.
That's a total of 4 Encore projects. For each project, I created a simple "blank 4X3 menu", and added a single video button. I linked the button to the 1 and only chapter on the timeline, then set the poster frame for the button.
The results are as follows:
1) It doesn't matter which computer creates the m2v - Any m2v can be copied to the old, functioning PC, and the Encore menu editor and the preview function displays perfectly.
2) When using the Encore menu editor and preview features from the newer, problematic PC, single images (from m2v files created from either PC) set as poster frames are not interpreted properly. The image is displayed upside-down with a "mosaic" look to it.
3) If I set the thumnail image of the button, check "Animate Buttons", then render the motion menus, the menu editor still displays the corrupted image, but the preview looks perfect.
4) If I use AVI files instead, all these problems disappear.
Someone suggested this might be a codec problem, but if so, wouldn't the files not encode correctly as well? Remember, I can create the m2v on the "bad" computer, copy it to the "good" computer, and everything works fine.
It is true that (a month or so ago) I upgraded software on both machines - QuickTime 7.5.5 (which probably has some codecs) and Sonicfire Pro 5, which needs QT to run. Both sets of installs/upgrades went smoothly and the software on both PCs is working with no anomolies. Since the exact same versions are on both computers (with the old machine working perfectly), I'm having trouble buying the bad/rogue codec theory.
I could ignore this problem and just use AVI files. However, since AVI files are so much larger and take so long to back up to 4mm tape, I really don't see that as a long term solution.
Based on this information, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks so much.

I followed the instructions for "Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer," but the calendar data did not transfer & the calendar program is not functioning.

I manually moved my profile from Thunderbird in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to Windows 8.1. I followed instructions and everything moved as expected except the Calendar. Not only did the Calendar data not transfer, the Calendar itself is not functioning, e.g. no dates & days of week, etc., all menus relating to Calendar are "greyed-out," etc. I would appreciate any help. TIA KellyJMorris

The Calendar (a.k.a. Lightning) contains binary components, which are OS dependent. So you do need to remove the Lightning add-on in your Add-on manager and install the Windows version of Lightning.

CS4 Show tool tips not functioning in adjustment mode

Show Tool Tips function is not functioning(no display) in any adjustment panel. Was working previously. It is checked in preferences and does work on uppermost main tool bar. At times it was slowish to respond but eventually did. Working with PS4 in Design Premium. Checked function box on and off several times as well as opening and closing program and also shutting down computer. Any help or something else I need to look at in preferences? Thanks. Bob
Edit: Tool Tips function works fine in "In Design" and "Illustrator" so it appers it has to be something in Photoshop

Thank you for your reply.
I tried that link several weeks ago and did a reset, I do not want to do delete the preference files if at all possible. I am certain that you know what my problem is but if you don't mind. I would like to clarify what is going on. Previously in the preferences file under the interface label there is a box to turn on or off the tool tips function. It has always been "on". Whenever I wanted to see what an icon's function was related in a panel I placed the cursor on it an it would show it's function. I. e. make a new layer, mask, etc. It no longer does that when I am in the adjustment panel. The function works when I click on it and that is not a problem. All I want is the tip or hint or label as to what the icon's function is to appear and that is what I ubderstand is what the show tool tips function I have CS3 running on another machine and this function it works fine. If I turn it off in the preference fill it no longer works I also have elements 8 on my daughters laptop and that is also fine...on works, off doesn't workI do not have any problems in the tools venue. All function properly and all sub menus work fine.
Any other suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks again for replying

Apple menu not functioning.

hi, my drop down Apple menu is not opening (when shutting down i must use the manual button and not the menu). all other menus open and function perfectly. the only other strange item that i have going is the "new mail" icon is not showing up in the oval when sending email......
two strange things that i have not been able to resolve. thanks so much in advance for any help that anyone has to offer.
mike

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I would recommend you use the Accounts System Preferences to create a brand new user. Then log out (you can use shift-Apple-q to log out without the Apple menu) and log in as the new user. Does the Apple menu work for the new user? If so, then your user has a preference file or setting that's causing the problem. If not, then you have a system-wide or hardware issue. Let us know what you find out from this troubleshooting step and we'll try to help from there.

Menubar shortcut not functional if focus is on string control

Dear All,
I am wondering if this is the expected behavior or if I am doing something wrong:
On a panel I have a string control; on double clicking I open a file select box to select a file, the file name then is displayed on this string control. After this action, this string control is the active control, indicated by the grey frame.
I also have a menu bar with some shortcut keys defined, such as F2. It appears that F2 is not functional as long as the focus is on the string control. This is inconvenient because a typical user action is selecting a file and then pressing Fx. To solve this problem the user needs to click somewhere on the panel to move the focus to another control. Of course this could be done programmatically, but this extra effort is not necessary say for ring controls or numeric controls. Also in numeric controls I can change the numbers, but even if a numeric control is the acitve control because of editing the value F2 immediately works.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Wolfgang
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just tried in a project of mine and had no problems in calling a menu function with its shortcut key while the focus is on a string control with a callback attached: maybe the problem lies in the string control callback, which is possibly trapping the keypress event before it is sent to the panel.
I tested both with "regular" shortcut keys (such as Ctrl + P) and with F2 only as the shortcat. My callback is not trapping EVENT_KEYPRESS event.
EDIT: I tried by swallowing keyboard presses with if (event == EVENT_KEYPRESS) return 1; but I am still able to operate on menus with shortcut keys. Seems the reason lies elsewhere: you can try progressively excluding parts of control callback and see when menus return responsive.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Photosmart c309a- 'The wireless radio is not functioning, contact HP support'

My Photosmart c309a wont connect wirelessly. Upon running the wireless network test, the report states, and I quote "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support". The report then states the following:
Wireless on PASS
Wireless working FAIL
and everything following that stated as 'not run'.
Ive searched for other threads on the subject, and the only sloutions I can find are unplug the printer and plug it back in to reset it (made no difference), and try the HP print and san doctor (link was dead, found it manually and didnt work as it cant connect to or even see the printer on the network).
So the question is, is this a hardware fault, and if so what can be done about it?

Hello,
Yes, it is an hardware issue and indicates that the Wireless card is not functional.

Bridge not functioning in PhotoShop CS3 Extended

I deactivated Photoshop CS3 on a computer I was no longer using and installed it (CS3) another computer. I activiated CS3 on the new computer. However, when trying to use Bridge, I get a message that says that Adobe no longer supports Bridge Home and Bridge does not function on the new computer. Is there anything I can do to get Bridge to function as part of CS3 Extended?

Thanks, that worked.
