Can't select menu items in top 25% of the browser window much of the time.

Running Windows 7 Pro on a new (2-months) HP Ultrabook with FF 15.0.1. Many times, selectable items do not work, but generally in the top 20-30% of the browser window. With the pointer hovering over selections, it does not change to indicate is a selectable item, nor will it let you select. It happens on well-known websites such as Yahoo!, HP, etc. It doesn't do this all the time, but I'd say at least 50% of the time, even if you reload the page and allow all sites with NoScript. There is no filtering warning.

That problem can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Can you add audio tracks as selectable menu items on a dvd? I shot a wedding where the church had its own set up to record audio. I'm trying to make those songs performed by the artists available for viewers of the dvd to select for listening.?

I'm trying to make audio (MP3) tracks available for viewers of this Wedding dvd to select for listening. Is this possible in iDVD?

You will need to create a slide show for each of those songs with a minimum of 1 photo per slideshow and add the song to the slideshow audio bin. Set the audio to Fit to Music.
In your top/main menu add a submenu for the list of songs.
Add a slideshow for each song with the "+" button at the bottom:
Select the link in the menu and rename it for the song used in the slideshow. You can create a slide image for each song with the song name, composer, singer, etc. on the image to be used for the slideshow An image editor or Pages can be used for that and then convert to a jpeg file for use in iDVD.
The song/playlist menu could look like this depending on the theme you choose:

There is a white stripe across the top of the browser window which covers the top of the sceen. I cannot see the navigation or menu options, how can I fix?

There is a white stripe about 3/4 of an inch tall across the top of the window. I cannot grab the menu bar, or see the menu or navigation window, or the search bar. When I click on the white strip, it goes through to the desktop like the top of the program does not exist.
I've never seen this issue before.

Play button doesn't work -- doesn't select menu item

By default, the first thing selected in my encore menue is a text button that says "play all". So, you can start the DVD playing by pushing the enter button on the remote, by pushing the play button on the remote, or by pushing the play button on the dvd player. This is as it should be; this is for my dvd (not blu-ray).
When I burn a blu-ray (instead of a DVD), the play button on the remote and the play button on the dvd player do not work. I can only use the enter button on the remote.
I ran a second test by burning a very short movie clip with a simple button in encore. Again, the results were the same--no problems for a dvd, but messed up for a blu-ray.
I am playing the DVD and blu-ary on the same player.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Jim:
The problem is not with the player, a Sony.
A couple of months ago I authored a DVD (Blu-ray) of a wedding anniversary the main menu of which had just a couple of buttons -- the video (about 40 minutes) and a slideshow of a couple of hundred slides with music.   It was wedding present. Everything worked as planned, not only on my Sony equipment but on Panasonic and LG. Menu items highlighted as they should and could be toggled by the remote, just as things have been for years (since 1996 for me I guess.)
The people subsequently asked for 3 extra blu-rays and 12 regular DVDs for people who had seen it but didn't have Blu-ray players. No problem, said I. I still have the Encore "ncor" file and plenty of blanks.
Turns out that I must have relocated some files -- Encore could not find the previous folder. Fortunately the Premiere program files were intact so I simple created a new Encore project and created a new ISO file. This time I made a couple of menu pages and created chapters as well as the slide show. I made a DVD (on a re-writeable disc) and it worked as expected. I cut a dozen disks and labeled them. Meanwhile I made the blu-ray iso file (having made the required changes in Encore.)
First got a Photoshop error code -45 (although I had not even opened Photoshop for a month.)
I shut down everything with the idea of starting Encore as the Administrator (a trick that has fixed other problems) and the blu-ray image file was created without a hitch. But still got an ISO file that, when burned to a blu-ray, had buttons that would not highlight and would not work.   Also the "pause" button would not work. (I have a long organ piece with the home menu page.) Nor would the number buttons. Just the "top menu" buttons on the remote.
Obviously everything worked in preview: highlights showed on the buttons that, when pressed, went to the right files.   So everything works perfectly well in Preview and with DVD. It is just with Blu-ray that there is a problem. And it is with any and all players.
The same Blu-ray can be played on a computer using the mouse. Again, the buttons themselves do not highlight so the software remote does not function.
Confusing............
Any additional thoughts?

Only getting context menus- can't select an item?

I spilled some tea on my Macbook Pro key board- cleaned it up and dried it out. Now whenever I try to select an item (mac mail, numbers, finder) only get a context menu. Can't select an item or type. Mac mail can only look at one of my mail boxes can select and open an email but can't reply because never reach body of email because of menu opening for that item.
Sorry, if not clear enough with descriptions- any help would be great.
Thank you!

It sounds as if you've encountered hardware damage due to your liquid spill. The only thing that you can do at this point is to take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the extent of the damage and give you an estimate for repair.
Good luck,
Clinton

Why does my Desktop Mouse freeze (moves erratically) when selecting menu items in PSE13 Editor?

It seems that my computer with 8GB of memory may not be enough to use PSE13. The Organizer menu works fine when I select menu items. The problem is when I switch to the Editor. My mouse starts to freeze, move fast, or too slow. It is difficult to select
a menu item in this situation.

Unusual. In theory PSE13 should be better as it's a 64 bit application.
Can you try re-setting the prefs then close and re-launch the Editor. First you need to go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General
Then click the button shown on the image below.

In HTML5 version, you can click on the multi select button in the chart/slicer and this will allow you to select/deselect multiple items by simply clicking/touching it without CTRL+click. You can see this in action here

Bridge: when I want to export from .psd to .jpeg the export window opens but the target (Ziel) window is empty, thus no target can be selected. This happens since a brigde shut down after "out of memory"

How to create an MenuBar that stays at the top of the browser windows?

We are trying to develop a screen in WDA. It has a menu (UI element MenuBar) at the top. Based on the menu selection it calls a WDA to display below the menu. The requirement is to have the menu bar be stationary. The bottom container (TransparentContainer) with the WDA object is allowed to scroll, but the menu on top should not move. The scrolling should be dynamic based on the browser window. The bottom WDA can have more data then can fit on the screen.
How can we make the menu stationary and the called WDA scrollable? The scroll bars should automatically update due to different browser window sizes.

Hi,
Thanks for your response. Our system is functioning on SAP Ver. 7.00, Service Pack 16. I do not know when or if we will be getting the upgrade to 7.01 or 7.02.
As far as separating the menu and the actual view, each menu selection leads to the loading of a different WDA view inside the TransparentContainer by dynamically linking the ViewContainerUIElement to different WDA views. The trouble here is that when the View becomes too large, we will have to scroll off to the right or down to see additional content. This results in the menu not being accessible unless we scroll back. The requirement is to have the menu stay at the top of the page no matter how the user scrolls through the secondary view container below the MenuBar element.
So far our best solution was to place an arbitrary pixel size to the TransparentContainer of the view, generating in-window scroll bars for the menu-controlled view. The MenuBar always stays visible because it is on top of the scrollable container. However, with varying screen sizes, set-pixel-size is not an ideal solution. I am hoping that there is a more elegant solution than set pixel size since % does not work with height size setting.
Are there any ways to achieve this via 7.00 layout settings? Or perhaps a method to detect browser window size? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

How do I get back the File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

how do I get back the "File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help" line of text that I could click on for options that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

I did that (I think I did) however the confusion is that I get only part of the menu and not the most important menu items like "file" "edit" etc. with all the drop downs. It is so freaky - my other computers have no problem like this and I and show the menu bar or not just like you described. I really doubt anyone really understands my problem with it. I took some screen shots of the good computer version and the bad one so someone can "see" exactly what I am seeing. This may be a one of a kind gremlin issue, LOL. Anyway, without those menu items, I am very limited on the usefulness of FireFox on that computer so I have to rely more on Chrome for those features and use the FireFox with Billeo and other tools that still work. Someday it may magically fix itself, LOL.
Of the two images, one is the good computer and the other is the bad. The bad one shows the only way to see the menu items however they disappear after I am done with the custom menu and no other time can I get the items to "appear" it is like they are there but cannot get them to show when in the normal menu bar mode.

Floating Items in the browser window

I have a stage that is 4000 some pixils wide.
I have some items tht i would like to be on screen and in a fixed position no mater where you scroll.
2 to be centered - content and intro
1 to be top left and - logo
one to be top right - contact
i have the following code that is present in the compisioionReady that floats a symbol named content in the center of the browser window.
i need to add the other 3 items to this code.
Thoughts?
$(document).scroll(function(){
    var leftEdgeWindow = $(this).scrollLeft()
    setLeftEdge(leftEdgeWindow);
function setLeftEdge(base){
    //get the content symbol
    var contentObject = sym.getSymbol("content");
    //here it is in jQuery
    var content = contentObject.getSymbolElement();
    //get some important widths
    var contentWidth = content.width();
    var windowWidth = $(window).width();
    //find the left edge position
    var leftEdge = base + (windowWidth/2) - (contentWidth/2);
    content.css("left",leftEdge);
    //content.css("position", "fixed");
setLeftEdge(0);

Hi, blonde_rik-
You can also just set the CSS position on these specific elements to "fixed":
sym.$("content").css("position", "fixed");

Can Firefox themes be expanded to fill more of the browser window?

I love the themes for the firefox browser window. The only complaint I have is that I would like the theme to cover more of the browser window at the top. Lots of the theme pic is covered up by the tools at the top. It would be nice to be able to see more of the theme picture in the near future.

Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona. 
You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize 
You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.

I installed the CC trial with an error window saying: Could not create the file '/Users/dranim/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.2/dummy'. That was the first window. Heres the second: After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during app

I installed the CC trial with an error window saying: Could not create the file '/Users/dranim/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.2/dummy'. That was the first window. Heres the second: After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup I paid for the month subscription of 29.99. It claims it is downloading again?! Am I missing something here? Why is this process so complicated? I need to get this resolved asap and start working.

I originally had Adobe Photoshop Extended, then upgraded to the Production Suite. I ran the Adobe Cleaner, and that uninstalled most Adobe products, including my existing Adobe install, and then I re-installed everything with the same error code. Since CS4 came with CS5, I've installed AE CS4, but would really like to upgrade because I'm new to Creative Suite, and not sure how CS4 integrates with CS5...CS4 After Effects installed perfectly. I do have a 64 bit system, and installing to an OCZ Vertex 2....every other suite installs perfectly, except AE. And I think that is the coolest program in the Suite. I thank you all so much for taking the time to help, I really want to get AECS5 running...I did try to install after doing the recommended items Adobe suggests for Exit Codes 6 and 7, including turning off many startups...
I'm baffled....

Running a presentation via VGA out with Firefox/Safari open. When I hit 'esc' to come out of slideshow, monitor stated resolution too low. Now Safari and Firefox browsers are still open, but I can't see the browser window on either. Ideas?

If you use Lion, go to Applications/ Mission Control and, if you have more Desktops, as attached, it means you have more, and you must select the one you need for a certain app. If default settings has not changed, this is Control with left / right arrow
If in Snow Leopard and earlier, you have these settings in System Preferences only. In Lion, you also have some settings in Sys Prefs.

When i have 4 or 5 browser windows open at the same time, sometimes they get grouped into one tab and i can not ungroup them. why does this happen?

4 or 5 browser windows open at the same time. Tabs are down in the control bar. every now and then they just combine into one pop up. can't undo and very annoying. Have to close all out and start over.

This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.
