Cannot access toolbars or palettes

I am fairly new to InDesign but formerly used Pagemaker quite a bit. About six months ago, I created a publication in InDesign and found that it worked very well. However now when I try modify this document or create new ones, the software will not allow me to access any of the attributes on the toolbars or palettes. I can select the text and modify it with a right click to choose the font or size but none of the styles I created are accessible.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the software and getting the upgrade to CS 5.5. The problem is the same with new documents or documents I have created before. The styles are listed but I cannot access anything on the palettes or the toolbars.
Has anyone had this problem? I know there is probably an easy fix that I am just not aware of.

I assume you're on Windows 7 or Vista and have set your fonts to display at 150%. Either set it back to 100% or turn Aero off.
This is a known issue:

Firefox page starts but does not load properly, cannot access toolbars or open web pages

I recently installed the toolbar for MegaUpload. I had issues uploading a file with the program and uninstalled the toolbar. Since then, I cannot use my firefox. Firefox opens to a blank page displaying the menu bar only but I cannot use any of the menu options. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice. I have reset my Norton security as well. I'm using the Google chrome right now but want my Firefox back! Help!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.55 Safari/533.4

SAME PROBLEM HERE. I couldn't find others with this issue so this is a good surprise. I thought about finding a 9 version, looks like I'll be doing that. There is no setting I can change to fix this issue. No add-on to uninstall, I even tried reinstalling the whole app. I load the start screen, but upon going anywhere with the web, it simply doesn't load and remains blank with my URL in the awesome bar.

I cannot access the internet using firefox. The little toolbar identical (the far upper right in the screen) pops up and nothing else happerns. This has only started very recently and I have not had this problem in the past.

When I click on the icon for firefox, a little toolbar (the one you see in the top right corner of the screen) pops up and nothing else happens. I'll close it out and retry, with only the same results. I tried Firefox safemode, with the same result. Like there is something blocking me, but I don't know what. It doesn't matter if I've been on the computer for some time or just started up, I cannot access the web thru Firefox. This has only started in the last couple days. Previously, I've never had this problem. I haven't loaded any new programs anytime recently to account for this. I use Norton for my anti virus program which is the newest and had since end of December. I am not happy having to use the windows internet explorer, so would be very happy to get this resolved. Should I uninstall the mozilla program, and then reinstall it?

"I have an ethernet cable in port 1 on my computer. That is configured manually to access ther office network."
Do you have a "real" IP address or a private (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x) IP address?
"The wireless router was connected to the company server only for the purpose of getting me online through Airport because I couldn't access it using an ethernet connection"
Could not access it because their network security blocked you by intent, or had some unknown technical difficulty?
Unless you are blocked by intent or ommission (if they have to explicitly allow your machine) I can think of no technical reason why your wired connection should not both get you on their network and on the internet in general. You should not need to be dual homed (though dual homing should work as well).
Please answer the questions above when you can - I think solving the wired LAN issue will be easier if you are not being intentionally blocked.

I added Gmail to my iTunes store/account. My gmail account is: [email protected] and it shows up on the settings in iTunes, and my account. The problem is I cannot access the store with this ID. A response says: You have not verified your ID, press ok to review instructions to verify your ID.

Please HELP.

iPhone 4
Google toolbar on my computer.

Hi Michael,
Yes it is now resolved but not after I send iTunes a request for help and explaining the problem. They send a first reply explaining how I needed to verify my account and gave me the link to do that. You and I know that this did not help, so I replied telling them that this was not working and iTunes did the reset for me.
You may want to open a help ticket with iTunes help. That is the only way it works.

Embed word document in C# winforms, Have to disable/hide Quick access toolbar.

Hi Team,
Currently i am embedding a word document in winforms. I need to disble/hide/remove the quick access toolbar from the word, i was tried in different ways like below ways in C# but it's not working .
With oDocument.Application.CommandBars("Standard")'disable the standard toolbar
.Enabled = False
.Visible = False
End With
WebBrowser1.ExecWB OLECMDID_HIDETOOLBARS, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER'toggle between "reviewing" and "standard"
toolbar
End Sub
Any help would be highly appreciate.Thanks.

Hi Ravindra
The code you're trying to use is for the old "toolbar" GUI that was discontinued in the Office applications starting with version 2007. CommandBars is still present in the object model and does interact with the new "Ribbon" interface
to a certain extent, but it's NOT used to affect visibility.
The Ribbon GUI, introduced in Office 2007, is defined by "Ribbon XML" and cannot be affected by code running from outside the application interface, nor by code running in-process that's not part of the same "container" as defines the
Ribbon XML.
From the screen shot you provide, it looks like you want to work with a specific type of document ("Custom Letter")? If yes, then it would be best for you to create a template that contains the Ribbon definition you want to provide for that type
of document. In order to suppress the QAT you need to use the "startFromScratch" command for the customUI which also means that the Ribbon XML must define the ENTIRE Ribbon interface you want to provide to your users.
You'll find the basics about customizing the Ribbon in the three-part article "for developers". You can find links to that, as well as to other information concerning the Ribbon,here:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/ba8c9d0b-7312-4503-8167-f2ef86f17435/information-on-the-office-fluent-ui-ribbon-for-developers?forum=officegeneral

Since I disabled features in the people widget, I cannot access gmail

I was so annoyed at the people widget covering up my emails that I disabled all the features IN it instead of the whole widget (which I have since learned how to do) and now I cannot access gmail with firefox. I can with internet explorer though, but prefer to use firefox.

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> in '''Startup''' section click '''Reset to Default''' button
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Themes (Persona) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

Full Screen Mode(s) & Show/Hide Toolbars and Palettes???

I use PS7 but am going to train some folks on PS Elements 8. I cannot find PSE8's equivalent of the F key "Full Screen Modes" command or the Tab key "Show/Hide Toolbars and Palettes". PLEASE tell me there IS some way to do these two things in PSE8!!!!!
- Brian

Uh, yes, don't I feel dumb. Maybe since I always seem to use the Tab key in conjunction with the F key command for Full Screen Modes I didn't realize the Tab key didn't work in PSE8 just fine. At least that's my newbie excuse, and I'm sticking with it. Thanks! Next time I promise I'll TRY something before I ask about it. (I'm kinda stressing this training I need to do soon.)
Now HOW to use the keyboard shortcuts for Full Screen mode??? Anyone???

I can create events, but then cannot access them in Facebook. Help.

I've created several events for a Facebook group/fan website. The "create an event" link works for me. BUT after creating event(s), I cannot access them via events link on page or via Facebook search. Often I NEED to get back to them to edit -- but I can't. Others can see them however, so I am wondering if this is a Firefox (12.0) issue. Of course I have contacted Facebook -- three times -- and of course they are nonresponsive. (and i've already tried, per firefox "help," deleting cache, allowing cookies -- etc., everything firefox suggested...)

Check if Facebook is working normally on other Web Browsers like IE, Chrome, etc.
* See this article -> [[Error loading web sites]]
Also, make sure that your Firefox Plugins are updated.
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins by visiting the following link:
* http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
* '''When Downloading Plugins setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''
Check and tell if its working.

Cannot access gradient tools other than the default option.

I am using photoshop CS6 extended. I cannot access the alternative gradient tools and am wondering if the plug-in failed to download or if I have somehow disabled them in the preferences.

Select the gradient tool, then click on the gradient chip at the top left of the screen to open the Gradient Editor, or click on the little arrow next to the same gradient color chip to access a palette other gradients. To make a new gradient, etc., click the tiny icon in the upper right of that palette to get a drop-down menu.

Cannot access gmail with firefox only with windows explorer

Just installed Firefox on new computer and when going to google web site I cannot access my gmail. I get the message "not a valid gmail address". I can go to google with windows explorwer and there I can get access to my gmail.

Hi,
You can try to access Gmail without the Gmail labs feature and see if the problem goes away: https://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0
If it works then perhaps a labs feature is problem.
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=97386
Also, try accessing after clearing the cache: '''Ctrl''' + '''Shift''' + '''Del''' or '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Clear Recent History''', choose '''Everything''' in '''Time range to clear''' and '''Cache''' in '''Details'''.

Upon reinstalling Firefox, I cannot access my sync key-there is no "Manage Account"

Once upon a time , after updating Firefox & before the treacherous AVG toolbar wreaked havoc- I had synced my new iTouch with Firefox.
They were living happily ever after until the above mentioned treachery took place. The devastation left no alternative but to uninstall my beloved Firefox & reinstall.
All went smoothly until... I tired to reunite my iTouch with it's long lost Firefox Sync.
The Fairy Tale ending is in tatters as I write this (drat you AVG toolbar!)...
simply put:
- going to Tools->Options->Sync only allows me to Set Up Firefox Sync.
- there is no Manage Account option.
- which means I cannot access my sync key...
After researching & failing to find a workable solution to this dilemma, I decided to set up a new account;
it says '[email protected]' is already in use... it's a vicious circle...
Can anyone help straighten this out so my Fairy Tale ends happily?

I followed your advice- a plausible solution to be sure & one to finally reunite my iTouch & Firefox Sync...in fact, I've followed you advice several times over the last month as I continue to get the following Oops message:
''Oh dear.
Looks like one of the dinosaurs escaped again. We keep them away from the data, so that should be safe.
Please try again later when we've wrestled him back onto the treadmill.''
Does anyone know when the escapee might be returned to his treadmill?

Cannot access my FF email page - just get page about newsletter. I use FF every day. Where is it?

I cannot access my ff email today. Just get screen with sign-up info for newsetter

If your Firefox just updated, there is an extra tab about the update. You should be able to close that tab and then your regular home page should be behind it. Alternately, try clicking the Home icon on the toolbar to load your homepage in the current tab. Any luck?
