CS3 tools bars disappear with left click

I apologize in advance for the DUQ (dumb user question. I am new to CS3, have only used PS Elements 2. When I activate ID, AI, or PS and Bridge for a workspace, the toolbars disappear when I left click on any space outside the toolbars. I am used to Elements where the work space and toolbars are integrated and remain fixed. I have various books, including the Deke McClelland tutorials, but haven't walked through the lessons yet - the books don't address my problem - just wanted to try and play around with a few photos and all the "new" tools first. Can anyone tell me how to create a workspace that will retain the toolbars no matter where I click? Should be simple, but I'm a newbie. I switched from a PC to a 20" iMac 2.66GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD, using the Mac OS X 10.5.4. Thanks in advance. I'm sure there are hundreds of you who can answer this.

You are clicking on the desktop and going to the finder. don't click the desktop click a window. This is how Macs work, 99% of Mac users prefer it this way.

  • The address bar and all the command & tool bars disappear from my web page as soon as I log on. The leaves me with no way to enter a web address or navagate.

    When I attempt to use Firefox, the address bar and all the command & tool bars disappear from view as soon as I start the program. I can see the scrolling our of view at the top of my screen. This leaves me with no way to enter a web address, navigate or even exit the program.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

  • Indesign cs6 menu and tool bar disappear between windows using mission control in mountain lion

    heres 2  screen grabs before and after. while navigating between 'spaces' using mission control in mountain lion. issue -  the menu and tools bars disappear - not all of them just parts of them. to get back i hit 'tab' button twice which hides and shows tools. very annoying - does anyone know of a fix or is this another bug which i have to live with. im using a macpro june 2012/running 10.8.4 and 2 screens - left for artboard - right for all tool windows.

    thanks steve - yes that works as does using the tab key - all well....until i move to another 'space' and then come back again.
    for example: my setup is like this - no2 space has indesign project. no3 space has photoshop. so im working on a page within indesign and i need to edit an image- i double click the pic and it opens in photoshop on the other 'space' save the file and go back to indesign to update pic and find menu/tools all over the place - so hit tab twice back to normal -  until i 'move' out of that space into another - photoshop/ mail/ whatever - as i toggle between spaces the indesign menu will always be 'corrupt' for a better word. hope that makes sense.

  • Hyperion Tool Bar Disappears in Smartview

    Has anyone had any problems with the Hyperion button on the tool bar disappearing in Smartview? We are currently on version 11.1.1.1.1 and are using Excel 2003 and recently a couple of our users have had a problem with the Hyperion button that normally shows up in the tool bar disappearing. Normally it reappears the next day but I have one user that it is not coming back for. She uninstalled and reinstalled Smartview but still no luck. Does anyone have any ideas as to what else we can try and what would be causing this to happen?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Please follow this steps
    Step 1: Click Help in Ms Excel
    Step 2: Click “about MS office Excel"
    Step 3 : Click Disabled Items where you could able to find the disabled add ins and Please Enable the same.
    Now, you could able to find the Hyperion tab in your fresh Excel.
    While performing above activities, kindly close other Microsoft Documents.
    Also please ensure Tools-> Add in -> Hyperion smartview add in should be checked
    I think it will work for you...
    Best Regards

  • My tool bar disappeared and I can't get it back!

    I followed the instructions to go to customize and click on tool bar at the bottom of the page, but there IS NO toolbar at the bottom of the page. What now?

    The Add-on Bar at the bottom is gone and you need an extension to re-add this toolbar
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/what-happened-to-the-add-on-bar
    You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
    *Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
    *You can check out the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
    *You can find extra toolbar buttons and more toolbar settings in Customize (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)

    In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
    *There is a star like button to the right end of the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
    *It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu on the toolbars to have menus like the Bookmarks menu

  • Please Help, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3, Top tool bar disappears-File, Edit, View, ETC missing at full screen. How do I get it back?

    When i have the window at full screen, my top portion of the tool bar dissapears. I have checked all settings but unable to get it back. What do I do? Thanks 

    The menu bar is hidden in fullscreen mode, as is the Dock (I assume that's what you mean by "the bottom toolbar").  That is normal, and that is how it has always worked for as long as fullscreen mode has existed (which isn't very long yet).  If you want those things to remain visible, you have to exit fullscreen mode.  Put your mouse at the top of the screen, so the menu bar appears, and then click the blue rectangle with arrows at the far right side of the menu bar.

    Hi, Guys!!
    And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
    Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
    because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
    Only Happens when i use Firefox...
    Cheers.
    Well the issue is still there...

  • When will you get a norton tool bar compatible with this? I like to use my identity safe and it doesnt work with this version

    on my other version of firefox it gives me a tool bar with my norton stuff and one to access my yahoo page and mail. I would use this alot more if I could get that here. instead I get error messages every time I start up

    You are talking about Norton Safe Web, right? Well you have a way -
    Download Add-on Compatibility Reporter
    (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/)
    and restart Firefox. Restart Firefox again and Norton Safe Web should be enabled.

  • IMac acting strangly with left-click and tracking

    Okay, well earlier today, my mouse's tracking suddenly stopped working on my iMac. So I then switched to a tablet which was working fine to make up for the tracking. However, about 6 hours later, with my tablet, the left-click function started to not work on it, so I went back to my mouse. My mouse's tracking was working again, however the left-click function on the mouse was not, just like the tablet.
    I would blame the products if it didn't happen on two completely different ones, so I'm guessing my iMac is messing up somehow. It has the lastest version of Snow Leopard. If there is anyone that can help me with it that would be awesome. For right now, everything is working except for the left-click. I can do some functions with the right-click, but not major ones like clicking to see if there are updates for my computer (once it has checked for any).

    Exactly what does consolidating my referenced photos do?
    Consolidating will copy the referenced original image files into your Photos library. You do it by selecting the photos to be consolidated and then using the command "File > Consolidate".
    I think I may have been under the wrong impression as to the safety of my original set of pictures in that uploading to iCloud copies but does not move photos from my HDD.
    Yes, uploading files to iCloud Drive will create hidden shadow copied on your Mac. SO you will not save space, but you can use iCloud Drive documents offline, and Time Machine can make a backup.
    Shared referenced photos does keep my iCloud space less filled, does it not
    Referenced original files will not upload to iCloud Photo Library and you will save iCloud storage this way, but not, if the referenced originals are stored on iCloud Drive. Then they are using your iCloud Storage anyway.
