Disappearing context aware tool bar

Where do I report a bug?
I've assigned InDesign to a 'Desktop' formerly called 'Space'. Mac Lion 10.7.4 Done via the InDesign icon in the dock. Right click the icon > Options > Assign to: Desktop 2,3, whatever.
So I've bobbed out of InDesign into Firefox or Mail on a different desktop. When I click the InDesign icon in the Dock to return to InDesign, the screen slides to the space ok, but InDesign appears without the top context aware tool/attributes bar... not sure what it's called but the one immediately below the 'ID' bar in the default 'Essentials' workspace. Blimey, takes some explaining doesn't it. Anyway it's missing - there's a gap across the top of the screen below the 'ID' bar. If I slide (4 finger gesture) to the default desktop, there the missing bar is for the briefest moment!!!! Clearly while the main app is happy to reside in the Desktop/space... the toolbar gets mightly confused.
If I cmd+tab between applications, it also does it (though I'm not sure it's consistent), but if I use the gesture to move from desktop/space to InDesign Desktop, it seems fine (though I've not tested this rigorously).
InDesign CS6

Lots of problems, apparently, with Spaces...
anyway, you can report a bug at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?

How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?
(I have to use ProVideoPlayer, a professional application for presenting videos and I really need a clean second monitor!)

After changing that setting and logging out and back in as it indicated, do you still have two menu bars?
If you are already set up that way and want to move the menu bar to the other monitor, drag it there in the Arrangement tab of the Displays system pref.

Some of the tools have disappeared from my tool bar in PS CC. How can I get them back? I have burn but dodge has disappeared.

The deeper levels of tools have all disappeared from my Tool Bar. Clicking on the arrow beside the tool does nothing? How do I get them back? I have restarted both Photoshop and my computer and this does not help. Thanks.

Try "Reset All Tools" Right-click on the Hand Tool in the Options bar, or whatever tool is active, and click on Reset all Tools from the menu.
This screen shot will show you where that is.

Creative Cloud icon disappeared from Apple Tool Bar after I installed some CC updates. Does somebody know what the problem can be?

Creative Cloud icon disappeared from Apple Tool Bar after I installed some CC updates. Does somebody know what the problem can be?

I had a similar issue. I closed the Cloud icon, and when I went to open it again, it just died.
I uninstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, went to the Adobe CC download page and requested a trial copy of PS, being sure to enter my CC name and password. It then reinstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, and all is working again (I hope).

My mail icon has disappeared from my tool bar.

How do I get it back to the tool bar???

Can we assume that your toolbar is perhaps an OS X feature?

go to /Applications
launch Mail
control click and follow the options / or just drag to your toolbar (Dock)

Last pass password manager and auto form filler have disappeared from my tool bar. How do I get them back or do I have to start all over again.

I am using Windows Vista. Both LastPass and the auto form filler have disappeared from my toolbar. Is there a way to retrieve this information or do I need to start again?

Do those extensions still show as installed in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions?
If not then it is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
You can also check for problems with the localstore.rdf file if toolbar buttons are missing.

Where is safari? it does not show up in my tool bar?

where is safari? when I downloaded Mavericks it disappeared from my tool bar.

Hi steve0393,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I think you are asking about Safari not showing up on the Dock in Mavericks?
If that is the case, you can drag Safari from the Applications folder to the Dock.
Apple - OS X Mavericks - See everything the new OS X can do.

Safari Refresh Button vanished from Tool Bar!

Uploaded Safari 4 and now find the Refresh Button has disappeared from the Tool Bar! I used it all the time when updating Web Sites and testing them live. Tried the Reload Page pull-down but it is not the same. The old page is still there. It's a pain to Reset Safari each time. Had to go over to FireFox! Any ideas? Or how do I get back to Safari 3!

Wesley wrote:
The refresh button is to the right within the address bar; or as mentioned Cmd-R works as always.
This is undeniably the case but I want it back where it was, close to the other controls. I also want the blue progress bar back. At least that gave some idea of how the page load was proceeding.

Will my Norton "Manage Cards and Log-ins" ever return to the tool bar?

When I downloaded Firefox 4 (which I really like, by the way) my ability to manage credit cards and log-ins through my Norton account disappeared from the tool bar never to return. Consequently, if I want to shop, I go to another browser where my Norton buttons appear on the tool bar. I thought I heard a "fix" for this would be coming sometime...but that's only rumor. Can you help me get my Norton Card/Log-in buttons back on my toolbar and working?

Norton did a poor job on their updates for their Firefox extensions for Firefox 4.0, the Firefox 4.0.1 security update made them incompatible all over again. ''Rookie mistake with the way Norton coded their extensions with a very restrictive maxVersion.''

* If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear (Firefox 3.6 on Windows) (see [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the ''Navigation Toolbar'' and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.

I have a Macbook Pro (2009) and the tool bar in Safari keeps disappearing. There's a small diagonal arrow on the upper right that I can click and the bar will appear temporarily, but then it disappears from view. "Hide Toolbar" is greyed out in VIEW

My 2009 Macbook Pro's Safari doesn't show the tool bar anymore. I can click on a diagonal arrow in the upper right corner that appears when I put my cursor there and the tool bar will show, but then it disappears again. Also, when I get an email and click on an internet link the Safari doesn't open full page like it used to - it opens as a small little box and I have to click the diagonal arrow in upper right corner for it to open full screen. Any ideas how to correct this - it is so annoying. Thanks for any help!

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

My location bar, tool bar (file, edit, tools, bookmarks, help) disappeared and cannot be restored. I have no back button, home button etc. the top of the screen is just an empty blue bar. Internet still works if I click on a hyperlink on the main page.

The problem started when I turned on the computer this morning. I tried to install Mozilla 4 from your website and that installed but I still have nothing on the top.

It may be due to Firebug. Seeing as how you're a web developer, it's very possible you have this installed. The latest version, 1.7X a10, appears to cause everything you described. I downgraded to "a8" and that seems to have fixed everything.
I also recreated a profile from scratch before trying this out, so I can't guarantee it's definitely Firebug.

edit: If you go to the Firebug forums, you'll see this is now a known problem. http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=4012 for the issue tracker.

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.

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.
