  • Using InDesign CS6 onWindows PC.  Apple icon and traffic lights in L top corner are missing.

    Using InDesign CS6 onWindows PC.  Apple icon and traffic lights in L top corner are missing and so are some of the editing features.  I fixed this once before by accident but can't remember how I did it.  All I remember is it had something to do with the veiw % in other applications - I think!

    I've been using a tutorial that is obviously been done on a Mac.
    I used to have a link somewhere that was basically a list of all of the differences between the two platforms, but I can't lay hands on it. I'm sure if you asked us about the features that were missing or broken, we could answer fairly easily - you know, like "Preferences are under the InDesign menu on a Mac, but in Windows they're under Edit."
    The worst of these differences is in keyboard shortcuts - Macs have an extra modifier key, so whenever I switch platforms I always spend twenty minutes flopping my hands around and muttering uncomplimentary things about Cupertino and Redmond, at least until muscle memory takes over.

    how do i get my desk top icons to stay at the bottom of screen

    Are you referring to the Dock?
    If so, go to the Apple menu > Dock and select "Turn hiding off".
    If you are referring to individual icons on the Dock, right-click or Control-click on the icon, and in the Options submenu in the popup that appears, select "Keep in Dock".

  • Help!    Flashing desk top icons and screen de-selection

    While in any screen, my desk top icons will flash off for a second or 2 and then back on. At the same time, the screen I am in will be de-selected. Anyone have a cure or experience this?
    Thanks

    Hi Wayne, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    It's likely some 3rd Party APP that got broken by the recent QT or Security update.
    Stuffit AVR has been a big one, if you have that use the Pref Pane to turn it off, but others have been implicated too. Check System Preferences for a Stuffit Pref Pane and disable AVR.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it is some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • File icons are missing from my ML desktop. Name is there but the icon is missing.  How do I fix this?

    Some of my file icons are missing from the Mountain Lion desktop.  The file name is there but not the icon.  The file can be opened when the words are double clicked.  The files show up properly in Adobe Bridge.  These are Photoshop files.  How do I fix the problem?

    Get Info (cmd-i) on one of these files. In the "Open with" tab is PS selected?
    If that's so it may be some corruption LaunchServices.These are only cache files but can get corrupted.
    Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
    (EDIT: Be sure to copy the entire line of code it is a slider)
    Code:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

  • TS1702 I synched my phone and now my apps icons are missing on my iphone. I can see them and open them if I go to the app store. How do I get the icons back on my screen?

    HELP, I synced my iphone and computer and now my apps icons are missing on the screen of my iphone. I can access the apps only through the apps store by pressing OPEN. How do I get the icons back on the screen for the apps?

    Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is open
    1. Visit Instagram.com from your computer web browser
    2. Click "Download in the app store"
    3. It will download and show up in your iTunes
    4. Highlight and sync the app to your iPhone (note: it will not show up on your phone, even after it says syncing is complete).
    5. In iTunes, select the Instagram icon and click "Remove" or "Uninstall"
    6. Click Accept and Uninstall when it asks you to confirm as it will remove instagram and its data from your iPhone
    7. Disconnect the phone from the computer
    8. Manually reboot the phone after exiting all apps
    9. Upon re-start, you will be able to access the app in the App Store, and install it

  • Main icons are missing

    Just a week ago all the main icons were disappeared! Many icons are missing, like desktop-icon, programs-icon, all the map-icons and so on. The standard program-icon and the documents-icon in the dock is turned to a question mark and in Finder only external icons from applications are shown. Is there a chance that I removed these icons accidentally? And how can I get them back?
    Thank you for your reaction!

    The combo update 10.6.7 didn't work Is it recommended to use time machine and set all files back to week ago?
    this link will show you a picture of the problem:

    Hi
    One reason for this behaviour is installing a Front Row hack that lets you run Front Row on an unsupported Mac. If this applies to you see Dr. Smoke's Uninstalling the Front Row hack FAQ.
