File, Edit, and Help menus disappearing

Upon starting Adobe Reader 10.1.4 everything appears normal as shown below.

After about 2-4 seconds the File, Edit, and Help menus suddenly disappear, looking like this.

This happens for every PDF opened and even happens if Reader is opened by itself without a PDF. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the issue persists. The Help menu is usable just barely long enough to perform a repair installation, but it does not help. F9 does not bring them back. The system is running Windows 7 64-bit. Any ideas on how to correct this?

Check the JavaScript folder to see if you any files other than the *.BIN file. If you do, then move the extras out of the JavaScripts folder and restart Adobe Reader.

What happened to the File, Edit, and View menus for mac 0s10.8.3? f10 and other solutions don't work?esn't work

I just got a new mac OS 10.8.3 and newest firefox. I can't find the menus bar, I can't close it without force quiting, can't even tell what version I have. Everytime I try to use the arrows to change the view as suggested full screen makes it worse. I have researched the subject and tried recommended fixes like F10, optionF, etc. and nothing is working. Please help?

The menus have been ported to the top left corner, it says Firefox and has its icon, that is the new menu. If you dont like it and want the old one you have to.
# Right Click the tab bar
# Context menu should show
# Click "Menu Bar"
and you now have the menu back.

Hi Ernestprinter,
Check if you have multiple Java versions installed on your computer.
Try clean boot http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Also i would suggest uninstall security software and install it back.
Currently you may use F9 key to restore Menu bar.

TV and Movie menus disappearing in Apple TV2

Was there ever a definitive answer to the problem of the TV and Movie menus disappearing for users in Australia following an upgrade to i-Tunes? Should I set the location back to the US or is there a workaround?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Make sure you are properly connected to the Internet, and that your location is set correctly, if that doesn't help try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.

File edit view help missing in acrobat XI

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1. Most of the time when I open a PDF file everything is fine. However, I have lately had several PDF's open and when I open another, the File, Edit, View, Help tabs are missing as is all the info above where these tabs should be including the minimize, restore down, close icons. F9, F8 and Ctrl+Shift+M do not help. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Warren

Sounds like an issue with your graphics driver and Acro running out of resources for hardware accelerated page rendering. turn it off in the prefs and/or update your graphics driver.

I accidentally made my "File, Edit, Favorites, etc" toolbar disappear. How do I get it back?

I accidentally made my "File, Edit, Favorites" etc. toolbar disappear. How do I get it back?

In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

Streaming QuickTime movie without any links (i.e.:"file, edit, view, help")

Hello all,
I am streaming videos, using 'VitalStream', for items I have for sale. The local governing board of the organazation/web site I am posting these movies on will not let me post any 'links to other areas of the web site where there is promotional information'. So, the 'file, edit, view, help' on the quicktime player or movie is considered 'links' according to the organization.
Is there a way I can export the movies, from iMovie HD or GarageBand or QuickTime Pro, so those links do not show on the streaming video? All I want to show is the movie and the play/pause functions, or if I can get it to just show the movie and sound that would be o.k. too. The majority of people who will be viewing these movies are using PC's. Should I get 'flip 4 mac' and convert it to wmv, will that cut out the 'links'?
PowerBook G4 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPod 80 G, iLife '06, iWork '06, QuickTime Pro, Sony DCR-HC96.

Not familiar with Vitalstream...but if you embed your QuickTime movie into a web page, you can control whether or not there is a controller, and there is no player skin involved. The movie you embed can be either a full movie, or a reference to a movie running on a streaming server somewhere.
The key is that instead of opening the movie in QuickTime player, you want it to run in the browser plug-in. Here, let me show you a couple of examples from my own pages. The code is fairly clean; feel free to rip off my embedding code if you want.. 8-)
The most basic form of movie embedding can be seen on this page where a movie plays within the page, with its controller, which includes a play/pause control and a scrubbing bar.
By comparison, on this page, about halfway down on the right-hand side there is an embedded movie with no controls on it, set to loop continuously. Again, you can look at the source to see how it was done.
Please note that I'm using an old form of object embedding that has some issues in Internet Explorer. It still works, but in order to use the controllers the user has to click on the movie twice. Also, in my case, the movies are stored on my web site, and are not streamed at all. If I were using a streaming host, I could put a reference movie on my site and use it to point to the stream.

After I right-clicked on an unwanted email in Microsoft Web Access and put a filter on it all my emails and the menus disappeared. I can re-access in IE but how do I restore what I have foolishly done in Firefox?

I was working through my emails in Microsoft Web Access when I came across an email from a sender who keeps spamming me. I right-clicked on this unwanted email, saw a filter option and (recklessly) chose it. ALL my emails and the menus disappeared. I can re-access my emails in MWA in IE but how do I restore what I have foolishly messed up in Firefox? When I get to my email page in MWA in Firefox I now see nothing but the movable vertical bar.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

How do I import multiple Ai files into one Indesign File - whilst still keeping the Ai Files editable and up dateable for the one Indesign File?

Hi All,
Im relatively new to Ai and Indesign, and have been doing Uni work over Christmas, and have a rather urgent question thats stressing me out.
I originally had many art boards in my ai file, but due to the number, I split these into single files to help my computer run better.
Now I want to organise them into one document to save. From searching online Indesign can import these and save as one file, yet automatically update if the original ai file is updated. I would like to do this but just don't know how to do this correctly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Im using CC Ai and indesign.
Thanks in advance
Sam

Yes, effectively I would like to catalogue the files into one collection so i can save as one PDF and Print as one.:)
I know I could save each AI as a pdf them then merge the pdf's together in acrobat, but I have nearly 100 files so would feel more comfortable seeing them all together before print / saving.
My concern is that if I insert them in Ai, will the file resolution reduce? and will the ai still be editable and would it update the indesign file?
Thanks for the quick reply

You can do this to show a file on the client file system...
web.show_document('file://c:\mypath\myfile.doc', '_blank');
This will lauch the word document in word. The user can then edit and save it from word. This basically is calling your web browser and your web browser then hands off the file to a helper app. This will work for any file type that the client has helper app to display.

Please, please help me. -Alan

F9. Some documents hide the menu bar deliberately, or you could have hit F9 by accident.

My toolbar where the url is and the bar with the file, edit, and veiw are both gone. How do I get them back?

MY sisters or some one messed with the toolbars and now they are both gone I can't get into anything to change it to show them. I can't see the file, edit or veiw buttons or the tool bar with the url and back button.

Elly, try holding down the Ctrl and Shift keys while you type \ which should bring you back the Tool Bar (the bit with the Back/Forward buttons URL field and search fields).
Once you've got that, click on the Action Menu (the wee coggy thing to the far right) to see a list of Show/Hide commands for your other Bars (including the Menu Bar):

Menu bar with file, edit and view are still there not the new drop down new file bar

downloaded the new version of firefox and the new drop down menu bar that has file,edit,view and history, stuff like that is still there. i have what looks like a broken photo or missing picture square

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
