"Convert to Profile" command in the Edit menu

Sorely needed: a "Convert To Profile" command in Illustrator's Edit panel, right under "Assign Profile", jut like in Photoshop.
It's Color Management 101.
Without it, Illustrator's color management abilities are stuck back in the stone age.
The Illustrator engineers team should know exactly what I'm talking about.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

The Find command on the Edit menu doesn't work. No window in which to enter the word(s) I wish to find opens up.

When I go to edit and click find no window opens and so I can not enter the word(s) that I am searching for on the webpage. The same result comes with using Ctrl+f. Infact, when I click on the edit menu, I noticed that Find is not followed by the usual .... Does that mean that the Find feature is not part of this newer version of Firefox and if so why?

If you use Edit > Find or Ctrl+F then you should see a Find bar at the bottom of the browser window. Current Firefox versions do not show a pop-up window.

Pages. Shorcut for "Duplicate" command from the "archive" menu ?

When i make a keyboard shortcut for the "Duplicate" command from the "Archive" menu, it only works once, because when I close Pages and open it again, the shortcut disapears from the command "Duplicate" in the archive menu and it is reasigned to the "Duplicate" command from the "Edit" menu. How can i fix this?

I recommend sending feedback to Apple. I have sent feedback for Pages, Numbers & OS X.The more people who send feedback, the more likely changes will be made.
Feedback works. When iWork '09 first came out there was a lot of ranting about the move of Export to the Share menu. With the first update Export was added back to the File menu & was also left in the Share menu.
Here's what I sent to the OS X feedback.
The loss of Save As… in Numbers 2.1, Pages 4.1 & Preview in Lion is extremely frustrating, particularly since there is no keyboard command for File > Duplicate. Trying to assign ⌘ ⇧ S in System Preferences doesn't work because OS X "decides" to then assign that to Edit > Duplicate which, by default is ⌘ D. I have to take my hands off the keyboard, go to the File menu & then select Duplicate in order to create a new document with the same basic content. Having a keyboard command for File > Duplicate would go a long way in solving this problem for me & many others who complain in Apple Support Communities.

I'm trying to clean up my library before I sync it with my new ipod touch. Apparently there is a DISPLAY DUPLICATES command in the file menu...can't find it?

Looking for the DISPLAY DUPLICATES command in the File Menu to delete songs before I sync with my new device????

You might need to bring up the menu bar first.
If you're using version 11.0.1.12, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Now you should be able to find the duplicates thing in the View Menu.
(If you're still using iTunes version 11.0.0.163, you'd need to update to 11.0.1.12 to get the Display duplicates control.)
EDIT: Sorry, in the initial version of this reply, I said the Show Duplicate items was in the File Menu. It's in the View Menu in version 11.0.1.12.

How do I join clips in iMovie, the join clip in the edit menu is never available?

I am desperately trying to edit some footage and I have split the clips and then added the footage I want inbetween the split, however I cannot join them back together as the joinclip in the edit menu is never highlighted, am stuck on what to do now, anyone help please?

The Join Clip command is meant to restore a clip that you split and then decide you want to "undo" the split.
It's really not particularly useful or necessary for editing.
The clips you use in your Project will all be effectively joined together when you export (Share) your finished project.
As you're editing your Project it appears as a bunch of separate clips but the finished project will playback as a seamless whole.

Why is Delete greyed out in the Edit menu? (track selected in regular playlist)

Hi. Starting today, Delete is permanently greyed out in the Edit menu in iTunes. This is with tracks selected in the Music library or in any playlist (not just Smart Playlists). I manage tracks daily, and this just started today. I upgraded to 10.4 about a week back so it was fine for a while. Immediately before the problem manifested itself, I selected "Always Show Artwork" from the View menu (which is available when you're in Album List mode), something I've never done before. But that might be totally unreleated.
Hitting the Delete key doesn't work either (actually that's my preferred method). However "Cut" and Cmd-X do work, as does the Delete command in the contextual menu. So I have a workaround.
Quitting and re-entering iTunes didn't help, nor did de-selecting "Always Show Artwork".

Hmm. I came to realise iTune Match had downgraded 38 of my tracks, which I'd ripped from my own CDs long ago, with 256kbps versions. I do have backup for the tracks, so I'd like to delete these 38 tracks (I've made a Smart playlist of them), deleting them from iCloud too; then with Match turned off, recover my originals (Add to Library) from an old Mac.
Can't do it! As Richard Tench said at the top, from 27 July 2011, Edit > Delete is permanently grayed out if you have opted for iT Match. And for me on iTunes 10.6.3 (Lion 10.7.4), that's not all: Edit > Cut and Cmd-x both just produce the Bonk sound. My Macbook keyboard has no Del key either.
But all the above are only true with Match active. Store > Turn Off iTunes Match will ungrey Edit > Delete (& fn-bksp etc I imagine). So I would then be able to delete the tracks locally. But of course, if you turn off iT Match you can delete all you like locally, but they will still exist in iCloud, and if I turn on iT Match again, the lower-grade 256kbps ones will come down from the clouds to replace my CD-ripped ones again! Won't they?
Is that right? Is there any way to exclude these 38 tracks (out of ~6500) from iTunes Match so I can keep my better quality CD-ripped ones? (Other than using Alt-Launch & creating a separate iTunes fileset for the 38 tracks - as you might have guessed, some of them fall right in the middle of albums.) Help!

My copy of InDesign CS3 has no Deactivate command in the Help menu

I would like to uninstall my copy of InDesign CS3 so that someone else in my group can install and use it. The instructions I have read say to make sure to run the Deactivate command in the Help menu first so the computer is not recorded as containing an installed copy of the program. The copy of InDesign CS3 that I have does not have a Deactivate command in the Help menu. I remember entering a license key when I installed it, so I assume it was activated at that time. Are there different editions of InDesign CS3, some that are deactivated by the Help->Deactivate command and others that are deactivated some other way? How can I make sure that my InDesign CS3 copy has been deactivated when I uninstall it?

Volume licensing doesn't typically use activation. Is this an enterprise situation?

Saw a poss solution to my prob of loosing tab groups when closing firefox It read ". Edit Preferences Privacy "I can't find prefernces under the edit menu"

I saw a poss solution to my prob of loosing tab groups when closing firefox It read ". Edit > Preferences > Privacy "I can't find references under the edit menu" so cannot attempt the fix offered?

Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

Palette for the edit menu?

Hey, I've just got a wacom tablet and am trying to get used to working with it in illustrator. One thing i'm finding is that i use the keyboard shortcuts a lot for copy/paste/undo etc. Its awkward using the menus with a pen and i was wondering if there's a palette for the edit menu so i can just click icons to execute edit commands. It would make sense and since its in apps like word, i'm thinking it must be in here somewhere? Thanks

I've just added a huge amount of commands to the actions palette and deleted the default set. Switched to button mode and re-scaled the palette and suddenly i am REALLY pleased I bought my tablet! Was a bit disappointed when i first started using it in illustrator but now its really quick to work with. Thank you so much for the info.

The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I can't find anything on a webpage

The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I cannot search a page. If I am looking for the word "Doctor" and I know it is on the page. All I get after typing the first letter is that the typing box turns red.
This is not fun.

Make sure that <b>[] "Match case"</b> on the Find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check-mark.

How do I activate the Edit menu and Layers in the trial version of PSE12?

After looking at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements/faq.html#trial-information 1., which says it's a fully functional version, I downloaded the trial version of PSE12,.
But when I open a photo, and Select > All, the Edit menu shows the following:
Thinking that maybe Layers has to to active, but the Window menu shows the following:
Like in the Edit menu, everything is greyed out.
How do I make things active so I can actually evaluate this trial version?

Are you in Expert Mode?

My bookmarks have vanished. I want to re-import from Safari. But the "Import" command in the File menu is not available. What's up?

Firefox works fine. However, my bookmarks toolbar is marked as <empty>. Didn't used to be. I have no idea where they've gone.
So rather than dwell on the loss, I thought I'd move ahead by importing the bookmarks I have in Safari over to Firefox. No luck, the "import" command on the File menu is de-highlighted. I cannot select it.

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
* In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

I recently installed Lion on my iMac. Pages no longer has the "Save as" command in the File menu. Help!

I recently installed iOS 5 on my iMac. Pages no longer has the "Save as" command in the file menu. Can anyone help?

It's not you, it's Lion, Save As is gone.

Add In's do not appear in the edit menu

I use Nik filters for LR on my MacBook Pro, OS 10.7.4. I installed the Portraiture add-in. It did not appear in the Photo - Edit menu. I reinstalled it several times. Then I opened the External Editing window and inserted Portraiture. Now the Nik filters do not appear. When I change External Editing back to Nik Color Efex it appears in the edit menu but portraiture does not.
Previously all of my 6 Nik filters appeared in the edit menu. Now only the filter selected in the External Editing window appears in the edit menu. When I clear the menu in External Editing no add-in's appear. It seems that only one add-in at a time can be accessed and that the External Editing screen is the only way to access other add-in's, much too time consuming for an efficient workflow.
On my iMac also 10.7.4 all the Nik and Portraiture add-in's appear in the edit menu.
Is there a fix?

Apparently fixed with 10.6.2
