Adding to the "Right Click" Drop Down Menu

All,
Being a PC guy for 20 plus years I have a lot of tools that I was use to using in the PC world that I am having a hard time living without in the MAC world. I have turned to the Macbook Pro for me (better product than a PC laptop will ever be) and several iMac's for my wife and kids, so we are not headed back to PC land ever again for our personal systems. I want to know though, if I can get some of my "easy tools" in place on the MAC. They may be there, and I just don't know how to bring them to life.
1 - When I right mouse click on a document (word, excel, Powerpoint, PDF, etc.) I have the option to "Move to the Trash" - can I get an option here to "Move to a Folder"?? This I really miss and would like to have as a function.
2 - Can I customize the "Services" Menu as well?
Look forward to the help !

Snow leopard makes it easy to customize right-click menu by creating services using automator. you can easily create one that will do what you want but a service like this may exist already. try searching the web for it first
2 - Can I customize the "Services" Menu as well?
see above. also check system preferences->keyboard->keyboard shortcuts->services. you can activate/deactivate existing services tehre and make keyboard shortcuts to them.
Look forward to the help !

Combine supported files in acrobat missing in acrobat x pro when I right click drop down menu

combine supported files in acrobat missing in adobe x pro when I right click drop down menu also Convert to Adobe PDF is missing too. The open with & share with options are gone too when I right click files. My computer crashed & I had to have the motherboard replaced. The tech store put some of my programs back on my compter but not sure how or if they did stuff correctly. Need help fixing my problem becasue I use this all the time. Thanks

I'm having the same issue. I got a new PC, insalled Acrobat X pro and when I right click on an Office file, I could not combine or convert Office files to PDF. I upgraded to Acrobat XI and still no fix. I triled to convert or combine office files to PDF from within Acrobat and I get an error message saying "Acrobat does not support the conversion of one or more of your files to PDF. Please remove these files or go to Settings and choose the PDF Portfolio option".
I've tried to convert or combine Office 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 files and none work. The weird thing is that the option shows up for Excel .csv files. Even more werid is that I have the PDF tabs showing in the Office applications.
I contacted Adobe support via chat and they were unable to help. I was directed here, so any help would be great.
Thanks.

Menu bar items don't work, right click drop down menu gone

when i right click, nothing happens, also although the menu bar is there, but there is no drop-down menu for any items (file edit etc). i've checked this on my other browsers, i have opera, seamonkey and google chrome.
all these things work except for menu bar in google chrome since it doesn't have one by default.

I restarted firefox 4 with Add-Ons Disabled. Go to Help and use the Down Arrow key to select the Restart with Add-Ons Disabled option.
A startup box with options will show up. Do NOT select any of the options unless you want to disable the item permanently. It started in SAFE MODE and then there were no problems at all with the Menus. I simply Customized some of the menu bars and then restarted. Now all the Add-Ons are back, the menu bars are where I had them before AND the Drop-down Menus are WORKING!!!

Is there an add-on to put `close this tab' on the right click drop down?

While I know `close this tab' appears in the dropdown when you click ON the tab (which is sort of ridiculous when you could just click on the tab's `X'), but the same `close this tab' doesn't appear on the dropdown when you right click somewhere in the middle of the window
My question is this : Is there an add-on which puts the phrase where it's really needed - namely when you right click somewhere IN the window, so you don't have to maneuver the mouse to the tab itself or do the keyboard close?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Hello Frebe.
There is indeed. Try [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/710/ Menu Editor]. Using it has many advantages, of course, since you can change the place of pretty much everything, and hide menu items and whole menus if you want, but what you'll want to do is to move the "Close this tab" from the one menu to another.
If you need help using the extension (it's not really THAT intuitive), I'll help.

How do I get the Back Button drop down menu back?

When surfing in a tab there used to be a drop down menu next to the forward and back buttons. It was a little tiny triangle looking arrow. This was really useful and needed. It is gone in Firefox 4 as far as I can see. I am using the default 4.0 Theme. If it is not there anymore I will have to go going back to 3.16 if the drop down menu is gone. Thanks for any help.

''How do I get the Back Button drop down menu back?''
* "'''Back/forward dropmarker'''" extension<br>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/
I do prefer Right-click on tab for tab history, or hold a couple of seconds, as the drop-down marker takes up space and had been removing it myself. Although I think it should have been an option.

How do I put my tabs back up beside the orange firefox drop down menu?

I have an Acer Mini. In order to optimize screen space, I closed most of the toolbars down, leaving the navigation bar and the tabs on top. They appeared in the blue space beside the orange "firefox" drop down menu. I turned away from the laptop to tend to my baby and when I turned back, my 2 yr old was mashing keys. I don't know what he did, but now I can't get the tabs back up there.

Upper-right corner of Firefox, hit the center of the 3 buttons to Maximize the browser window.

Downloaded brushes not showing on right click drop-down list

I have recently reinstalled Photoshop cs5.1 and ran into a problem. My installed brushes are not showing up on my right click drop-down list. I took the old brushes and copied the folder to the new location. When I go to use these brushes there used to be a big drop down list when I right click anywhere on the canvas. It now only shows the basic brushes, but here is the thing though I can load and see them through the preset manager but they are not on my drop-down list like they were before I reinstalled.
I have noticed something odd as well this may help in the solution I have noticed that some files from Photoshop are saved on to my second hard drive, but I do not know if this is the cause.
The reason I reinstalled is my GPU acceleration wasn't working and had to reinstall to fix this. If any other information is needed I would be glad to share. This is just cutting into my workflow time since I have to load every single brush singlely and if I load them all I have to search through every single brush to find what I need.
Thank you!

I found a solution to my problem it may help others! I run Windows 7 64-bit this has two seperate folders for applications when installed. I did a windows search for one of the names of the available brushes on my right click list. The search showed me where the brushes were at. (Example: I searched in windows: DP Brushes) Aparently photoshop normally installs as a "32-bit" program in this location, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe PhotoShop CS5.1\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 (64 Bit)\Presets\Brushes it is here that I copied my new brushes to and it showed up again. Hope this helps anyone who was in my situation!

How to find the size and resolution option in the aspect ratio drop down menu for the crop tool

while looking through certain tutorials on the new crop system i came across many that referenced the above mentioned size and resolution option in the access ratio drop down menu. They all mention a dialog box which then appears which looks really useful, however my version doesnt have this option. any help would be appreciated.

John, are there already differences? I thought 13.1 was mainly about retina display support, but I guess there would also be other fixes released while they were at it.
Yes, definitely already differences. I sympathize with Photoshop instructors (online and offline).
The headline change was Retina support but that was also made available to non-Cloud versions.
Other Cloud-only changes in 13.1 are listed here

Non-Cloud CS6 users have been very vocal and disgruntled about some of these changes.

Right-click, drop-down menus in Firefox 15 cause entire Mac OS 10.7.4 system to hang, forcing manual reboot.

I bought a new MacBook Pro.
I am running Mac OS 10.7.4 with Firefox 15. Every time I right click or try to use a drop-down menu in Firefox, it causes the entire system to hang, forcing a manual reboot.
No crash reports are available as the Firefox does not actually crash.
I have tried
1.) Starting Firefox in safe mode
2.) Disabling all the add-ons
3.) Resetting Firefox
4.) Removing and re-installing Firefox
5.) Disabling hardware acceleration
The problem still occurs.
This is critical a critical issue as I have been using Firefox's Zotero plugin to write my PhD dissertation which is about 50% complete and now I cannot use Firefox or the Zotero plugin and have about 800 references I do not want to have to manually re-enter!! Also it is preventing me from continuing work on the dissertation as I am unable to insert references, and I have submit this thing by March!!!!

Ok, further developments. Still can't get Firefox to work; it makes Lion hang and I have to force a reboot. I tried using terminal to open FF's profile manager, delete my old profile and make a new one. Same problem.
I tried making a new user account in Mac OS, and doing another fresh install of Firefox. It worked! I was able to use drop down menus and right click without crashing the system!
However, as soon as I installed the Zotero plugin... the same issue started occurring again.
Dear programmers, please help me. It will literally take me weeks of work to re-do all of my citations using a different software or manually. There must be a way to fix this problem!

Why can't I find preferances in the edit tabs drop down menu?

Although I had Indesign CS6 for over a year this is my first time using it . I want to set the default page size to inches, instead of using Indesigns default settings.

What am I doing wrong or what am I not doing. sombody please help me to change this setting. I know nothing about the measurement type that indesign uses as a default.
Thank you, For your answers.

Is there a way to get ACR to appear in the "Open With" drop down menu?

Hi,
Is there a way to get Adobe Camera Raw to appear directly along with CS3 in the Mac's ( OS 10.4.11) "Open With" drop down menu?

If you installed ACR it in the right place, and are targeting the kind of file that ACR can handle, it should be there.
I have found that there are certain Tiff Scans that won't open in ACR but if you just Duplicate them in Bridge, and then target the Duplicate, they will then open in ACR.
At least they do so for me.

Why is the "Custom" option grayed out in the Image Trace drop down menu?

I'm going crazy here. On two different versions of Illustrator (CS6 on Windows 7 and CC on Windows 8.1) I'm trying to customize the options on an image trace from the drop down menu. On both versions I can't click Custon and when I tried to use the presets it just completes the action and doesn't allow for tweaks.
I've used three different file formats (PNG, JPEG, TIFF) and tried embedding and copying and pasting with no luck. In past versions this was never a problem. What is going on here?

Just select the Image trace panel from the window menu and then customize it.
