Deactivate Menu Item Gone?

Silly question - but I'm trying to deactivate the CS3 Suite, to upgrade to CS4 (and use CS3 on another machine). The FAQ and help systems indicate I should choose "Deactivate" from the "Help" menu in any CS3 app. That menu item doesn't exist...any ideas?

Neal,
>but I'm trying to deactivate the CS3 Suite, to upgrade to CS4 (and use CS3 on another machine)
I see another possible issue...and this is what I understand: If you are just
upgrading
from CS3 to CS4 (or any other similar upgrade I can think of), the older and newer versions are considered legally as one application linked to each other by the same serial number(s). That is, you can't split the product and use just CS3 on one machine and just CS4 on another machine if they are tied to the same registration and serial numbers. This is true, even though you do not need CS3 installed to install and/or run CS4. But you
will need to enter the CS3 serial number for a CS4 upgrade.
Full version installations have their own specific serial numbers that are not tied to an old serial number. You would have to buy a full CS4 (not the less expensive upgrade) if you intend to use CS3 and CS4 simultaneously on two different machines.
That said, you
generally can install your CS4 upgrade on two different machines that you use for
non-simultaneous use. (Special versions, such as the student version probably prohibit such a dual installation.) And there is neither a need to uninstall CS3 on your old machine or install it on your new machine if your use meets the license for use you agreed to.

Context Menu Items Gone After Running "cleaner" program. Help...

So with the whole Flashback/Flashfake thing I paniced (stupid on my part) ran a virus program called VirusBarrier Express and ran CCleaner (again, stupid me). Hoping I would clear off unused or harmful files I apparently in the process messed up my context menu. Items that were previously in the context menu are now gone. I did as much reading about possible fixes as I could and this is where everything stands.
Not every item in the image below was at the botton of the context menu, but iPack certainly was as well as various other menu items that have since dissapeared.
While searching the internet I came across a suggestion leading me to "library/Contextual Menu Items" and when I followed that directory for both my user and system I couldn't find a Contextual Menu Items folder. There wasn't any. I've had this "missing file/folder" problem before with preference files; just a side note.
I created the folder manually and restarted with no change at all.
Obviously I accidentally deleted something that shouldn't have been deleted. Is there any way to get back those missing items?
Any help is highly appriciated.

Thank you everybody for your input and advice! I've deleted the virus software, but if I use any in the future I'll be sure to have only one installed. I initally downloaded multiple ones, but only ran one (VirusBarrier).
I restored from a Time Machine backup with the help of Apple tech support to before I ran CCleaner (never running something like that again) and the problem fixed itself.
I will have to be far more wary of running programs in the future. Thank you again for everybody's input and advice!
(below is what it looked like, or kind of like, before.)

Firefox 18.0.1 Mac OS 10.6.8: "Services Menu" items no longer available, "No Services Apply" only item showing.

Where have the 'services menu' items gone? How can they be recovered/reinstated? Tried 'reset' ; tried restart -- still no 'services' (e.g. "email address", "open URL").

Thanks, that answer would SEEM to make sense.
But I deleted all the preference files (not just the one you suggest) and restarted , etc... several times.
End result: Flash CS4 still crashes, if not on opening, then everytime I try to open my old documents and reset the preferences.
I am currently reinstalling my entire hard drive just to try to get CS4 to work again.
I have worked with Flash since 1998, using it professionally for everything from short interactive demos to feature length animated films.
CS4 is without a doubt the most poorly designed, inefficient version I have ever dealt with.
A great and useful animation program was turned into a piece of bloated garbage filled with bugs and inefficiencies.
I will switch to the first animation program that comes along to replace it, now that adobe seems to think the only real use for flash is to create low level acton scripts (despite being used for tv show level animation production for years.)
These forums amply demonstrate that adobe has almost no useful support for its products and no real vision or idea of what it is doing.
The fact that you can no longer even export flash as a quicktime movie that actually accurately plays is another nail in the coffin.
I wish somebody at Adobe cared.

No Deactivation Menu Item?

I want to move Dreamweaver CS3 to a new computer. I want to
deactivate the license on the old computer first. However, when I
click the Help menu, there are no Activate or Deactivate menu items
listed. The two menu items called Download e-license and Return
e-license are there but are grayed out.
Does anyone know how I should deactivate Dreamweaver CS3
since I appear to be missing the menu items. I already have the
product installed on 2 machines (per the license agreement) so I
think it will be important to deactivate this one before I install
it on a 3rd machine.
Thanks!

There is no iTunes menu item for photos. When you connect your iPhone in iTunes left sidebar (under "Devices") the main window will show the iPhone sync selections. Across the top of the window are sic tabs, each of which can be selected by clicking on them. They are Summary, Info, Ringtones, Music, Photos, Videos, and Applications. That's the photo tab you need to click.
See the picture on page 9 of the manual.

How do you edit photos with photoshop from the new Photos app? The edit in external editor menu item seems to be gone.

Menu Bar Items Gone!

I am trying to help a friend with a iBook G3 900mhz 640Mb RAM 10.4.8
She went to use her computer last evening and found that all her menu items on the right hand side, time&date, battery, keychain, airportstatus, and iChat status, were gone. I instructed her to go to the system preferences to check the boxes to restore the time&date and battery but when that is done nothing happens. I just tried to check the iChat one and when I have to click the box several times and the check shows up for a flash, twice it showed up for a second then unchecked. Also the spotlight icon is in the menu bar now but it is flashing slowly, the only other item on the right side is the weatherpop program icon which is working. Also all the regualr menu items on the left are present. I have never had this issue, please help.
Jerome

I followed the steps from the other post. Did not solve the issue. Below is the text from the system log. Each time the spotlight icon flashes it adds another line of the same. Any ideas?

Suddenly some menu items have gone dead or gone - why?

I've been using this for days with no problem, but suddenly two of my menu items (volume and input menu) went dead.
I logged out and logged in and they are gone from the menu.
If I go into preferences I cannot keep the box to put them into the menu checked.
I didn't change anything at all. This just suddenly happened.
Other menu items have disappeared too - like the network, bluetooth, etc.
Anybody have any idea what is up?
Thanks,
doug

I believe I have a similar problem that seems to have just occurred. My signal strength indicator for my airport has disappeared and my bluetooth symbol has relocated. I am speaking of the Menu Indicators Bar located in the upper right hand corner of my main screen. The only changes I have made was recent download updates. Is this your same problem?

Where has Menu Item : "Edit Links..." within MSP (Standard or Professional) 2007 gone to in version 2010 and/ or 2013 ?

Hi folks,
Can someone please tell me where I can find the "Links..." menu item in version 2010 and ver. 2013 that is under the EDIT menu, up until MS Project (Standard or Professiona) version 2007 ?
Just as a refresher, the Links dialog window has an Update Now,
Open Source, Change Source..., and Break Link
buttons, etc.
Thanks in advance,

Start Menu items/shotcuts and Start Menu search ability on multiple workstations

2/13/2014 our IT department began to receive complaints of missing programs. After investigation of a few users we were able to determine that the programs existed but all shortcuts and items from the start menu had been completely removed. In addition the
searching feature of the start menu was not functional. This happened to about 90% of our environment and the catalyst seemed to be Windows updates or at least occurred after the auto reboot initiated by Windows Updates. The only items visible in start
menu were items added after the fact, internet explorer, magnifier, command prompt, and notepad. All other items, folders, and the ability to search installed programs or folders were completely removed. However all programs are present in the program files
folders. THe start menu folder in program data was empty except for the aforementioned items. Additionally properties of start menu had all necessary checks in boxes such as search program files and folders etc. Also show hidden items and folders is enabled
for many users so the items were not hidden but gone. And the biggest kicker of all was after a full domain investigation into the issues we found that the majority of our windows server platforms, primarily 2008, were also affected and system restore is unavailable.
This conflicts with our idea that Windows Updates caused this since our servers get their updates on a manual initiated basis by their admins which we have not performed as of yet for this month. This caused me to begin looking at SCCM SCEP as all systems
have System Center Endpoint Protection and received definition updates. Also accessing different user profiles or even a new profile did not make a difference, issue still present.
Due to the enormous inconvenience we sent out a company wide email asking users to perform system restores to get us in a stable state. A system restore to the day before Windows updates (second Wednesday of every month configured by SCCM SCUP) restored
the start menu items.
On a multitude of machines IT performed troubleshooting and system restores recording the changes removed and added. We then, on a healthy machine, started to apply the windows updates and SCEP (antivirus) definitions 1 by 1 with out success of replicating
the issue. Next we performed a system wide antivirus full scan and did not find any viruses. This is obviously not a system criticle issue bringing us down but is a huge concern for us in IT as it happened company wide and caused a large flux of tickets and
some down time for non-technical users. We most definitely want to know the cause and after several days of investigation and troubleshooting Im turning to the Microsoft community for help.
I know I categorized this as a Windows 7 issue and its affecting windows server 2008, 2003, and 7, but I did not see a forum for all windows platforms. Since the majority of affected users are Windows 7 I opened it here.
So to summarize in a bulleted format:
Issue: Wide spread issue affecting around 60-70 users and servers, all profiles, were all start menu items save one or two system defaults were removed. Additionally the searching feature for the start menu looks to be broken as programs
exist in program files and are unsearchable from start menu. IT was also affected and I remain affected until I find the cause.
Investigation and Troubleshooting:
Start menu properties: nothing has changed and search options are enabled.
Missing items are not hidden, hiding and unhiding does nothing and folder options show hidden files is checked.
Program data start menu location is indeed empty as well as user app data start menu location
No group policy's are in place altering start menu items and no group policy changes were made as of recent
No SCCM packages pushed company wide in last month or pushed individually
Windows Updates occurred on windows 7 machines only before the issue occurred and computers restarted and the issue surfaced
System Center Endpoint Protection Antivirus updates and definitions deployed just before the occurrence with windows updates. SCEP def updates happen on all windows boxes to include servers
Paint.exe was completely missing from system32 folder for some users machines to include my own
System restore to that morning before restarts or previous day fixes the issue for windows 7 users
No windows updates were initiated on any servers
Servers were also affected with windows 7 machines
About half the users affected had corrupt Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus Click to Run installations and for some the system restore did not fix this and we had to re-install office for around 10 users
SCEP antivirus did not catch any viruses that could cause this, I performed MBAM scans on a handful of machines and didn't find anything either.
Re-creating start menu shortcuts works
Happened to two of our companies locations NH and MA, all part of the same domain but different LANS of course. Companies are interconnected by MPLS connection.
I combed through SCCM to see if anything deployed and found nothing. Currently I have SCUP updates and SCEP updates disabled. I will post a list of Windows Updates that occurred when the issue occurred as well as the SCEP updates. I have read all the threads
about this types of issues and tried all steps without success. Googling the issue also did not rear results.

Hi,
I would like to suggest you try these steps to figure out what could be causing this problem.
1. Run Troubleshooter
Open the Search and Indexing troubleshooter
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Search-and-Indexing-troubleshooter
2. Create a new library and include fewer folders for test purpose. Now search for a file from that folder. See if it works.
Create a new library
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-new-library
3. Try to rebuild search indexing. Refer the steps from the following article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-advanced-indexing-options
Also you may use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to check the issue. The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.
How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

In addition, you may refer to the following Microsoft TechNet article for the Windows Search related Group Policies.

Hope it helps.

What happened to my View Source menu item?

I'm pretty sure that I used to be able to view the coded contents of web pages in the past. I just tried to do this with a web page and my "View Source" selection item under the "View" menu is gone.
Am I mistaken that Firefox used to have this feature? I have used Firefox, exclusively, for about the last 3 to 4 years, now; haven't used IE in quite a while.
Maybe with my latest FF upgrade, that feature was deleted in the upgrade.

Thanks. Glad to find more than ONE solution (I code "no right click" on most of the web pages I do). Tools / Web developer / Page Source works for me!

What happened to the "Block Popup Windows" menu item in Safari 6?

What happened to the "Block Popup Windows" menu item in Safari 6? Seems to be gone.

Shheesh! Loki is saying that this was a very useful tool/option. Is there any way to BRING IT BACK TO THE SAFARI MENU? Not how to do it in Preferences.
What I am saying is: What incompetent is responsible for this build of Safari? There was no reason to take that out... plenty of room in the Safari menu. But if you REALLY want to know why I'm ******, Older people can no longer go into "Appearances" and change the Fonts and Size without knowing how to use terminal or how to make .css files. (which doesn't work well anyway)
This build is infuriating.

Where are the SSRS menu items?

Hi
I've set up Sharepoint Foundation 2013 and Reporting Services 2014 in integrated mode. I've created a library and added my data source to that library. I've created another library for reports, and uploaded a report there. However, I remember that in SharePoint
2010 there used to be menu items for reports such as "Manage Data Sources" and so on, which are not there in 2013.
I've been through the steps to add the Report Builder Report content type to the library and make it the default. I've tried uploading rdl files manually, deploying them through Visual Studio, and creating them from scratch using Report Builder from the
Files>New Document>Report Builder Report ribbon item. Still no menus.
Are they no longer available in SharePoint 2013 or have I misconfigured something somewhere? I was hoping to be able to bulk upload a bunch of rdl's and point them individually at my data source. I'll be able to do it another way, but now I'm really confused
as to where the option has gone.
Any ideas?

Hi Trevor
Yes, I had to in order to get the reporting services integration to work. I've got 2 servers, and SharePoint Foundation and SQL Server Standard, so for licencing cost reasons I installed SharePoint on both the SharePoint and SQL Servers, and SQL Express
on the main SharePoint server. Not best practice I realize, but since SharePoint is free and SQL is not, I couldn't intall full SSRS on the SharePoint server as my understanding was that I would need 2 SQL licences rather than one.
So I've got a farm with 2 SharePoint servers, one of which just runs the Reporting Services service, secure store service and workflow timer service and is on the SQL Server. The main SharePoint server has the SSRS add-in installed, and runs everything else
- Central Admin, the site collection, Claims to Windows Token service, Search etc. The main server has a copy of SQL 2014 Express for its various databases, and the SSRS databases are on the SQL Server.
I hope that makes sense!

Firefox 4 hangs a little on every action - typing, moving the window, selecting a menu item, selecting a tab, ...

Since installing Firefox 4 RC2, and now Firefox 4, Firefox constantly hangs on every action. Just in typing this message, the program pauses for a second or two every few words. Opening a tab, selecting a menu item or even moving the Firefox window incurs a brief pause of a second or two. This makes the users experience terribly slow. I've tried turning off sync and starting Firefox with extensions disabled. Nothing seems to help. I upgraded from RC2 but then deleted and reinstalled Firefox.
I'm having this problem on my MacBook Pro, which is pretty new (less than a year old) and otherwise very fast (i.e., i7 processor and 8Gb RAM). I have the newest version of OS X (10.6.7) and have updated all extensions.
I've watched my system monitor and Firefox is constantly and repeatedly going from low to near 100% CPU use every few seconds. I have no special, unusual settings (I've gone through preferences).
This is getting so bad that I'm about ready to abandon FireFox. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I had the same problem, I kept searching and found this:

Which says to delete your sessionstore.js from your profile. It seems to have worked so far on my macbook pro.
If you're concerned about losing the file rename it first, here's a description about what the file does:

Do all this with Firefox CLOSED.
Hopefully this helps others!

Removing right-click menu items

When I highlight a group of text in a web page and right click the text, There are 4 options in the menu for converting the text to PDF.
How do I remove these options from the menu?

Why doesn't adobe have an option within settings to remove shell/context/menu items?
For those who don't want the extra crap cluttering up their menus...
In winXP
-(with IE closed), click 'start', 'control panel', 'internet options'.
-Click on the 'programs' tab.
-click 'manage ad-ons'
-Find the Browser Helper Object called 'AcroIEToolbarHelper Class',
--highlight it and click 'disable'.
-Click 'ok' to close the manage ad-ons window, click 'ok' to close the internet options window.
You still need to remove the items from the right-click menu.
(*everyone puts a disclaimer so here goes. If you are scared to edit the registry...don't. Create a restore point, don't touch any other entries except the ones listed.)
-click 'start', 'run', type 'regedit', click 'ok'
-go to this entry "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt]"
-delete the 8 Adobe 'convert....' entries. (or just the ones you want gone).
(You can export them if you want, just highlight, right-click, export, and save them somewhere, but it's not necessary. If you want them back just go to 'internet options' in 'control panel' and 'enable' the Browser Helper Object again. If you re-enable it, the next time you start IE the registry entries and right-click items are replaced.)

Missing menu items in CS4 - PDF Presentation

I downloaded the 30 day trial of CS4 and I can't make a PDF presentation (which I do daily in CS2). There should be a menu item in Photoshop under automate and from Bridge, under tools, Photoshop, PDF presentation. I read through the documentation for CS4 and they should be there... why aren't they? I need this tool any ideas why it's missing in CS4 for me?

In another thread, this relevant exchange between myself, Anne and Rene occurred on this very subject. Had I known, I would have posted here instead. Ms. Guo, if you are indeed listening, consider putting this one back...because, specifically with open Photoshop files, it can't be pulled off in Bridge. Jbeezer points out another major problem:
"There is no control over compression and it yields a much larger PDF as in over 5x for my previous example."
Here is the earlier exchange:
Anne said:
"And it isn't called "Automate->PDF Presentation" in CS4 either.
It has been replaced by a multi-page PDF that you create from Bridge CS4's Output Panel and then edit in Acrobat Pro if you need to finesse transitions etc.."
I said:
I did find that in my hunt. It doesn't work anywhere near as quickly or as well as it did in PS CS3. Not even close. It can't deal with open PS documents (at least I couldn't find a way) and it can't be set to completely remove the "jpg'ing". I tried for a few hours to get it to output a decent PDF within Bridge and just gave up. Moving over to Acrobat Pro to "fix" pretty much negates the whole Bridge step. It's actually faster to completely skip Bridge and just make a PDF directly in Acrobat Pro.
There was no reason to remove this function at all. It wasn't broken and it didn't need fixing. Yet another reason to keep PS CS3 resident...particularly because the PS CS3 parameters actually does this trick (PDF from open PS images) faster and with better quality than Acrobat Pro does with saved/converted PDF files ...in one easy step. When you get right down to it, the function Automate>PDF Presentation wasn't moved over to Bridge. It was removed.

I said:
That's funny. There is no other information on Automate>PDF presentation in Nack's blog:
* Picture Package, Contact Sheet, Web Photo Gallery, and PDF Presentation have been replaced by the new Output module in Bridge CS4. Of these the first three are in the optional download package, while PDF Presentation no longer works in CS4.
* In CS4 we made some hard calls and retired a number of features. Some of these can be added back into CS4 (see Mac & Windows downloads) while others are gone for good."
"Gone for good" applies here.
