Can't access Power Menu at all in Windows 8.1

Hi. I'd really like a fix for this as it's driving me crazy.
I used to be able to access this menu by the usual keyboard shortcut of Win+X. For some time now (perhaps since the 8.1 upgrade), nothing pops up when I try it. I thought perhaps Windows 8.1 was different, but after doing some research, I realise that
the keyboard shortcut hasn't changed and I can't access it by right clicking the Start button either. Again nothing pops up - no menu whatsoever. :(
Please help!

You may try a System Restore.Select any restore point when there was no such problem.
You may try a Clean Boot.
You may try ShellExView utility.

I deleted safari off my computer. I can not access the Internet at all. Any idea how to wt it back?

I deleted safari off my computer. I can not access the Internet at all. Any idea how to wt it back?
The app is not found at all in my computer

If you’ve deleted or damaged the Safari application, you don’t have a backup, and you don’t have another web browser, proceed as follows.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window:
open /Library/Application\ Support/Apple/.SafariArchive.tar.gz
Press return. The Archive Utility application will launch and run briefly. When it exits, enter the following line in the Terminal window the same way as above:
sudo cp -R Downloads/.SafariArchive/Applications/Safari.app /Applications/
Select the whole line by triple-clicking it, then copy or drag it to the Terminal window. Press return. This time you’ll be prompted for your login password, which won’t be displayed when you enter it.
There should be no output from the above command. If that’s the case, launch Disk Utility, select the boot volume and run “Repair Permissions” (not “Repair Disk.”) This is one of the few times there’s a reason to do that.
Next, two more commands in Terminal:
chmod -R -N Downloads/.SafariArchive
rm -r !$
Those are two separate lines; press return after each one. You can then quit Terminal.
Test Safari. If it works, you’re done. If not, you did some other damage to your system and need to reinstall.

Hi all,
I was getting messages that my Aperture Library was full, so made an appointment at my closest Mac store, but have to wait 2 days. They advise you to update saoftware before coming in, so I updated to Aperture 5.3.1. When I open it, I'm asked to update my library. When I select that option, I'm told that my library is full. Now I can't access my library at all. What should I do to access my library? Do I have to uninstall 5.3.1 and reinstall an older version?
Another problem I have recently encountered ... all the up and down scrollers on various screens have disappeared. They reappear fleetingly when I use my up and down arrowa, but I can't always catch them. How do I get my scrollers back?

Thank you so much for your patient guidance and screen captures.
You are welcome.
My external hard drive is properly formatted for Aperture, so I am currently copying my Aperture library to it. That will take hours since it is copying 101 GB.
o.k.
I understand that I need to clean some space on my internal hard drive and reformat the Aperture library to get back in operation.
You need to upgrade the Aperture library to be used with Aperture 3.5.1. That will happen automatically, when you first double click the copied lirary to open it in Aperture.
I'll also need to back up my external drive with a new external drive if I make space on my internal drive by removing some photos from there and store them on my current external drive.
What do you use for backup? If you are using TimeMachine it is better to have only the Time Machine backup on the Time Machine drive . In that case would I put the Aperture library and other data on a new drive and keep the old drive for backup.

I have subscribed to I Tunes Match on my computer where I've been syncing and backing up my I Phone. Can I access my music before all the artwork is uploaded from my computer?

I have subscribed to I Tunes Match on my computer where I've been syncing and backing up my I Phone. Can I access my music before all the artwork is uploaded from my computer?

Hi,
You will no longer be able to sync manually with match. I would suggest that you wait until match has competed its process on your computer and that you are told how many tracks are in the cloud.
If you activate match on your iOS device too soon, you may find that all your tracks are not there. Ps it is not just artwork that is being uploaded, it's music as well.

I've bought a new remote for my apple TV and now I can't access the menu

I just bought a new remote for my Apple TV since I lost the original one. Now I cannot access the menu as all I get is the standard "screen saver". Even then, sometimes it won't even turn on, so I have to unplug it and wait two minutes and then plug it back in. Regardless if I do that or not...........the best I ever get is the screen saver.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

I'm getting a "can't access icloud" message from all devices. According to Apple the system isn't down. Any ideas? My password is correct.

A full reset fixed the problem.

Can not print PDF file at all with Windows Vista

I have Acrobat Reader 9.3.2. I am working off of Windows Vista on my laptop to a network wireless printer (Brother MFC 9440). I am unable to print pdf files. About a week ago, we had problems with our printer printing anything. I had to uninstall it and reinstalled it and it now works fine except the pdf files. I have had no problems printing any other files on any other programs but this one. I am unsure what specific "updates" I ran while trying to figure out printers issue. When in Reader, everything seems normal. When I hit print, the printer box pops up as normal and then I hit ok, my printer icon at bottom pops up for about 5 secs and nothing happens. I know that I am connected to printer due to all other programs can print. I do not have access to another printer to see if pdf will print on another printer, but do know that the other two computers used in this office (mac laptop and mac desktop) both are able to print pdf files to this printer without a problem. I have gone thru all the other help steps to try to resolve the situation: it still will not print when I hit "print as image", made sure that my printer is marked as network and is default printer, made sure to check that I have all upgrades, etc. I am not getting any error message, so am unsure what is wrong. It just will not print. Is there anyone that could give me some suggestions that I have not tried? I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks!

Another user experience exactly the same issue with vista and printing from Adobe reader.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/642000?tstart=1 Its copied below as a reference.
The problem was on my Auntys PC, and yes i did updated Adobe Reader to v9.3.2 and still the same issue underlned below.
My Aunty lives 70 miles away so will not be trying anything else.
The printer works fine with every other application only Adobe Reader files will print.

Are you talking about an iCloud backup? If so, no, an iCloud backup cannot be viewd, it can only be restored to another iOS device.

Can't access VCD menu template capabilities / wizard set-up

Elements 3.0, windows XP: I have searched high and low, and although I am a newbie, can not find this answer: regardless of whether I access FILE: NEW: VCD with Menu, or selected the "Creation" button and go to the "create with Photos" menu, then select "VCD with Menu" I can not access the "VCD with menu Creation wizard".
I go directly to the "create a VCD with Menu" screen where I pick my slide shows (previously created). "NTSC" is selected, and the option in the lower right is "Burn". If I select "Burn" it goes directly to create the VCD.
I know that I accessed the Creation Wizard once, where I could pick the Slide show menu template, edit the text, etc. Just as listed in all the help, but I can not seem to get to a point where I can access the wizard any longer.
Sorry for this silly question, but my frustration rages on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jack.

jack,
This thread is a duplicate of the thread in the Technical Issues subforum. I suggest that you read my reply in that thread to David when he questions why there had not been a response from Adobe

How can I access alt-menu keyboard shortcuts in fullscreen?

When Firefox is not in fullscreen mode, I can access all the functions of the menu bar by pressing the appropriate alt-letter keyboard shortcut (alt-f for file menu, alt-e for edit, etc).
This seems to be disabled in fullscreen mode. So I have to get out of fullscreen, pull down the menu, and then go back to fullscreen. How can I use keyboard shortcuts to access the menu while in fullscreen mode?

<blockquote>Did you rename the userChrome-example.css to userChrome.css? </blockquote>
Yup.
<blockquote>What is the file path of the userChrome.css file?</blockquote>
/usr/lib/firefox/chrome
<blockquote>Do you get the Menu bar if you hover the mouse to the top in full screen mode (F11) with the code in userChrome.css? </blockquote>
I get the tabs and the navigation toolbar, but no menu bar.
<blockquote>Does other code in that file work?</blockquote>
Oops, didn't try that. I'll give it a whirl.
Aaaaaand this is where I confess that this is a dual boot system, and I got the userChrome-example.css from the Win7 side because there was no userChrome.css file on my system. I got it from here:
/host/users/(me)/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/(random alphanumeric).default/chrome
