Drop Down Menu allways shows the Font Menu

Hi Everyone.
I work on a Mac G5 Version 10.4.11
in Illustrator CS3.
Right now I am trying to create a glossy button and therefore
I have to use the drop down menu of the transparency window.
When I press on the drop down menu (right now it says Normal)
instead of showing me the options like Screen) it shows me the Font Menu
(Show recent fonts, and show all fonts). I tried updating Illustrator and
I first deaktivated and then removed all fonts from the System, thinking
that I had a font problem. But that did not help.
Do you know what the problem could be?
Thank you.

Hi Anoo,
It does depend on what is being used to display the drop-down menu in the first place.
To have a menu disappear on its own, you would probably need to use the onmouseout event: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536948(VS.85).aspx
This can be used to call a javascript function that closes whatever object you have opened to display the menu and will be triggered as soon as the use moves the mouse away from the menu.

How do I get the location bar drop-down list to show the most recently visited page at the top? I have no idea how it's deciding what to display.

In IE when you show the drop-down list from the location bar, it show you all of your most recently visited pages in descending order with the most recent at the top. Firefox is showing me a list that I have no idea where it's getting the pages from or how it's ordering them. It doesn't update the pages or the order when I go to a new page. I have recently switched from IE to Firefox and cannot figure out how to get Firefox to do this; very annoying.

That drop down list doesn't show recently visited pages, but shows list list of most visited sites sorted by what the Mozilla devs call frecency (frequency and recency) and is based on bonus points. It is not possible to have much influence on what shows on that list.
If you want a list of recently visited sites then you can use a smart bookmark e.g. on the Bookmarks Toolbar with the location set to this smart folder.<br />
Name: <b>Recently Visited</b><br />
Location: <b>place:queryType=0&sort=4&maxResults=30</b><br />
You need to close and restart Firefox to make that folder work as intended.

When in yahoo mail I can't move mail into the drop down folders below HTheeninyaabout the 9th folder I the drop down menu.

When in yahoo mail I can't move my read mail into the drop down folders below about the 9th folder in the drop down menu. What am I doing wrong?

To all, embarrassingly enough, I have discovered that I didn't know how to expand the three categories including 'Bookmarks Menu' in the 'Bookmark This Page' pop up interface. It was expanded by default on the initial Firefox opening and first page bookmark attempt. Next use it only showed categories. I clicked and double clicked the 'Bookmarks Menu' line, but failed to see the small, shaded triangle used to expand/collapse list. If it appears collapsed, just tap triangle at left of line to see all folders. It seems to open the same way after I do it for first time. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for all the attempts to help.

Illustrator/Photoshop CS5.5 crashes when I'm in the font menu

Hi there, I've seen another discussion about this, but unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. I'm running Yosemite and Illustrator CS5.5 (I've had some similar problems in PS too). When I go into the font menu in Illustrator, I'll start scrolling and it crashes. Sometimes I don't even get to scroll before it crashes. Admittedly I've downloaded a lot of fonts lately, so I thought it might be a corrupt font. Sure enough, I found a couple of bad ones, and some sketchy ones, and I removed them. Then I went and cleared my font caches using Onyx. Neither of these things seem to help. I know I'm not the only one who is having this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

bexicon,
Did you try item 1) in 5) of the list? That implies moving all the fonts out, then see, then move half the fonts in again, or something similar, to find every substandard font that might hide somewhere.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Can't change the font directly in the FONT MENU.

Recently I noticed a strange problem (?) When using my ADOBE INDESIGN CC 2014.2 When I try to use the fonts, I can only see a message asking me to connect with typekit .
But, even after connecting it to my adobe account, I can't access my local fonts. The only way to access my fonts is goint in the menu TEXT > Fonts (as seen below).
From there I can access all the fonts normally.
The program is updated and I have no idea how to solve it.
Can you please help me to solve this issue? Thanks a lot everyone!

Hi Isis,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. It looks like you have the Typekit filter turned on in the font menu, so it is only showing those fonts you have synced from Typekit. Since you haven't synced any, the list is blank.
To turn off the filter, click the grey T at the top of the menu.
Once the Typekit filter is turned off, you should see all of your installed fonts listed again.
Please give that a try, and let me know if you have any other questions. Best,
-- liz

Show the boot menu on every boot?

Hi there, i'm wondering if there is a application or method to show the boot menu on every boot instead of having to hold down the the option key?
I apologize if this question may have been asked previously!
Cheers

Not really although there is a menubar application called QuickBoot you might look at - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Why don't some of my .ttf fonts appear in the font menu?

Hello,
I have a number of .ttf fonts installed on my system (located in Win7/Windows/Fonts folder) which do not appear in Flash or other Adobe applications such as InDesign. I did try putting them in the Fonts folder of these programs instead of the default Windows location but that didn't work! The fonts are available in the font menu in Microsoft Word 2010. The fonts all have a dot before the file name, see below. So could that be the problem? I am using some of them to type Vietnamese characters. Can anyone help?

That did it, thanks. Now they still don't.fully load but they do have links at the bottom to get the rest of the message.

How I can disable unnecessary fonts from the font menu?

How I can disable unnecessary fonts from the font menu?
I'm so frustrated to always browse the kilometer-long font menu. There are Chinese, Arabic, Thai, Japan etc. fonts. I will never need these fonts!
The platform is the iMac and Maverics. Illustrator is a version CS6. All software is the latest version of.
I get off some of these fonts using Apple's Font Book, but still there will be unnecessary Chinese, Arabic, Thai, Japan etc. fonts.
I also have Suitcase Fusion 4, but that doesn't help in this case because I can't disable system fonts etc. I also tried the "Monolingual" software. Monolingual is a software for removing unnecessary language resources from OS X. But still I see many foreign language fonts in font menu.

I could do with an answer to this question too
The fonts I don't want on my system are these (all Adobe covert additions as far as I can tell):

When it shows the contents menu, it is halved (picture showing) is there any way to change it so it only shows contents menu?

When it shows the contents menu, the screen is halved (picture showing) is there a way to change the screen so it only shows the contents menu?

There is no way to change this on the iPod Classic.

IMac will not shut down or restart using the apple menu

I have an iMac running 10.7.3 that will not shut down or restart using the apple menu. The only way to get this machine to shut down is to hold down the on/off button on the back of the computer. This has been a problem for quite some time and may have started with Lion, but I’m not sure. Any help is appreciated.

Hi...
Before you shut down, make sure you "quit" all open applications. Applications are running if you see the small blue reflection under the app's name in your Dock.
If necessary, you can force quit apps... several ways to do this. One, from your Apple menu > Force Quit or using the Activity Monitor located in /Applications/Utilities.
If it's not a question of open applications, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Drop down menus on iPad, the first selection in the drop down will not load as a selection when using safari, what can I do?

Drop down menus on iPad, the first selection in the drop down will not load as a selection when using safari, what can I do? I use this for my mobile, on-site auto repair business and not being able to call up repair and diagnostic info and reference for some cars is troublesome for sure. It works fine on the computer and I have installed a remote desktop app as a workaround but it is unreliable because the desktop is not business dedicated and may be off or in use at the time. So is there a known fix for this?
Let me paint a more descriptive picture, visualize 4 drop down selection menus, first one is for year, next one is for make, 3rd one is model and the last one is for engine size/type. If I wanted to choose a 2012 vehicle it wont work because it is the top selection on the list. This can be forced by selecting any other year and then coming back to 2012. Ok fine, but then let's say I wanted to choose Acura as the make, well it won't take it because again it's the top selection. Again you work around it be selecting any other make and coming back to Acura. Ok now select the model, same trend follows. But now since most Acura vehicles come with dedicated engines and no optional engines I have only 1 selection in that final drop down menu and it will not take my selection and therefore never let me proceed to the info I need.
This is also true when ordering parts from my wholesaler's website, they use drop downs and I can only get to that last drop down and then I'm stuck. This is blindingly frustrating, what options do I have. I'm not opposed to any avenue at this point.

Did you ever figure this out? I bought my iPad last week to use in my business as well. I assume you are trying to use alldata? That is where I noticed this same issue. I had problems with identifix working with safari but downloaded a different browser and that works fine. Alldata does not work with either browser. The main difference is that on identifix if there is only one engine selection, it automatically selects the only option and continues to the home page. With alldata you have to make the selection manually even if there is only one option. Honestly if I can't get this to work I am going to return the iPad as it looses a significant amount of usefulness to men

Drop Down - maintaining Order of the List Problem

Hi,
I have a Drop Down where the Code is
<h:selectOneMenu styleClass="alignRight" id="myDropDown"
                       value="#{myBean.yCode}"
                       onchange="submitPageX();"
                       title="select any one in this menu">
        <f:selectItems value="#{yCodeList}"/>
      </h:selectOneMenu>It is rendered properly and I can see the value in my backing bean when the Drop Down value changes.
Currently the Values in the Drop Down is in the same order as they are in the List which is populated in the Backing Bean. The Drop Down Component is common for all pages and is like a Header for all the pages.
My question is if I have 3 Values in the Drop Down and the User selects the 2nd Option is there a way to keep the Order of the Drop Down Values same but have the 2nd Option Selected in the Drop Down.
So until the User changes the Drop Down Values himself the Value selected by User is displayed as the selected Value.
e.g.
Jack Displayed Currently
John
Sarah
Now User select 2nd Option.
Jack
John Now in the subsequent pages JOHN should appear in the drop down by default but and the order of drop down remains same.
Sarah
One way to do is to alter the Order of the list and then by default the first option is shown in the Drop Down, but I dont want to alter the List order.
Thanks in Advance

That sound pretty easy.
Just set the value of #{myBean.yCode} to the user selected value during the subsequent page loads which use the same drop down.
I guess that will do the trick.

Skype Button drop down is not showing foreground.....

</script>
</div>
All the skype functionalies appear to be fine. The issue is that the drop down is displaying behind the website’s menu bar. How to bring this dropdown to the foreground?

Hi
sorry to say that the problem is still there.....
works fine in Camino & Firefox.
The page fails W3C validation, & Safari can be picky about that sort of thing. A valid doctype would be my first suggestion.

Hi,
Pls check if the history option has been disabled on the gui's menu --> options --> local data --> history.
Also the history is set to on or immediately and the users c drive has sufficient disk space.
Since the history has been deleted it would take a few entries before it appears again.
Also there is a possibility if the work directory has the *.ldb and *.mdb files which stores the history information.
If this is not existing then it woould be a good idea to reinstall the gui to get this files back to ensure the history is captured.
Cheers Sam
