Finder's " Go Menu" is not showing connect to server option.....

I have a series of iMac computers (running 10.5.8) that finder's go menu is missing the "connect to server" option. Neither does "Apple + K" work on these machines.
I tried adding the "Connect" button to the tool bar from the customize toolbar option. Once added the icon is grayed out. The computers are connecting out to the internet, but I need them to specifically pick up servers from our school for server run applications. I am not sure why this option is no longer available on my machines. I try reinstalling the op system on the machines, and it still comes back the same way.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Victoria

Thanks for the reply V.K. (Those are my initials too
I do manage the machines on a server. I checked workgroup manager and the settings are the same as the rest of my iMacs for these particular machines. The connect to servers command is checkmarked in the finder preferences of work group manager.
I was logged into the admin account for each machine while trying to find this finder preference. I did delete the plist as directed, and when relaunching finder the connect to server did not come back.
You'll have to forgive my ignorance as I am a teacher managing machines for my building, as I am teaching myself these basics. This is only happening on a handful of machines. All running up to date 10.5.8. They suddenly stopped working after our school did a network change (separate vlans). All the other machines accepted the change, but these machines suddenly lost this finder preference. Very odd...
Thank you for all your help.
Do you have any advice on what else I should try?

Acrobat Pro "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file

I have installed CC but Acrobat Pro gives me headaches.
The "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file but something I have worked on in the past.
It forces me to navigates through my hard disk for this very straightforward thing in normal conditions. I precise: Acrobat is the only software reacting like that.
I use Windows7 professional 64bits.

I use what seems to be the latest version available on the Cloud:
To illustrate my point, I open a directory with explorer and double-click on the only PDF in there:
So here it is, open:
When I do a "Save as", it takes me to a totally different place on the disk!
Very annoying...

Camera raw plug in not showing up as an option in the file menu the plugin was updated?

I am trying to adjust the white balance using photoshop elements 11, all the information I have come across tells you how to do it using the camera raw plug in. This has been updated and still I do not see it listed when I click on the file menu. I take photos of antique gold lockets using a light house and even though the custom white balance is set on my camera the photos are still coming out too canary yellow. I need to be able to adjust the colors so that they are more antique rose gold looking and have been reading different articles and videos on how other people adjust the colors and would like to try a couple of the ways I have seen but am unable as the camera raw plug in is not showing up as an option. Any suggestions on how I can solve this problem would be most appreciated. I have tried the quick fixes, color and contrast etc and not getting the results I am looking for... Please tell me what to do...

You never see it in the file menu. But if you go to File>Open As in windows you should be able to choose Camera Raw as the format.
On a mac it would be file>Open, choose the file, choose camera raw as the format>Open.
That's assuming these aren't raw files. If it's a raw file, just plain ol' file>Open and selecting a raw file should open the file in the converter.

A printer that I have connected to my iMac via usb in not showing up in printer options on my iPhone or iPad and it use to before I upgraded to 8.1

A printer that I have connected to my iMac via usb in not showing up in printer options on my iPhone or iPad and it use to before I upgraded to 8.1. How can I fix this?

Is it an Airprint-compatible printer, and is its WiFi enabled if it is? (see: About AirPrint)
If it isn't an Airprint supported printer, then you need a 3rd party driver on your iMac to print from an iPhone. Such as Printopia. As it worked in the past you probably have such a printer driver installed; check and see if it's running.
Beyond that try restarting the printer, restarting the phone, restarting your router, and restarting your computer.

The main menu does not show in explorer/PC!!

I have a problem that i hope somebody can solve. When i am publishing my site from iWeb directly to me.com the website is working fine. If i export the website and then preview it in explorer on PC the main menu does not appear for some reason. I would be greatful if somebody could give me an explination on what is wrong? Please!

Where are you "exporting" your site to?
The iWeb navigation menu will not show on a PC running IE if Java is turned off.
You can get round this by "hiding" the standard navigation using the "page" inspector and building your own.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Powerpivot add-in menu does not show in Excel 2010

To whom it may concern,
Sometimes, excel.exe *32 is left in the windows 7 professional task manager but all excel sheets are closed (sometime VB script opens excel sheet, and then close the excel sheet); then, manually open an excel sheet 2010 with powerpivot add-in,
powerpivot add-in menu does not show in Excel 2010. If excel.exe *32 is deleted from task manager manually, then, open Excel 2010 with power-pivot add-in, the powerpivot add-in menu is always visible. Try to figure out why excel.exe *32 is still left running
in the task manager.

Ed, I read your reply. I thought about closing it before, but today I still experience the same issue after I reinstall the powerpivot for Excel 2010.
I came cross powerpivot error: unable to load the table in the powerpivot windows when the excel sheet is opened, yesterday it worked fine. After I reinstall powerpivot for Excel 2010, SQL 2008, the issue goes away.
And I tried to use pivot table instead of powerpivot in Excel 2010, and then plan to write stored procedure to build some relationships used to set up in powerpivot windows; so, I am still planning to use excel sheet, instead of writing a windows form application.
Try to get more experience in excel.

Popup menu does not show in JTextField

I have a JPanel with a popup menu that works perfectly, as long as the right mouse button is clicked on the JPanel. However the popup menu does not show if the right mouse button is clicked on a JTextField that is within the JPanel.
What has to be done that the popup menu shows always?
this.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter()
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
this_mouseReleased(e);
protected void this_mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
if (e.isPopupTrigger())
popPopup.show(this, e.getX(), e.getY());

There are up to 20 JTextFields in the JPanels an the application has a lot of JPanels of course. Adding the listener to each and every JTextField means a lot of extra code. Is there really no generic solution to this problem???

No Finder Go "Connect To Server" option

After installing OSX 10.6 I no longer have the Finder > Go > "Connect To Server" option. Command-K does not activate it. How can I connect to a known server? How can I get this option back on the menu?

Thanks!!!!
That helped me...
I could pull up a list of other computers on the network (command-k), but when I tried to connect to any one, I got looped back to the list. Wouldn't connect at all.
Deleting the finder prefs worked like a champ.
rock on.

Why are my desktop fonts not showing up as an option to use in Muse anymore?

Why are my desktop fonts are not showing up as an option to use in Muse anymore? I know that my desktop fonts are not web safe and will export as an image... But I would still like to have them as an option. Why did this start with the latest release? I cannot find anything in the preferences or menus to make them show up as an option. I am running OSX 10.9.4 and Muse 2014.0.1.30 CL785017. Please help!!!

Hello,
Could you please try the following:-
Reboot in safe mode by pressing the SHIFT key (it takes a while) so the OS clears the font cache.
Reboot then in normal mode and the fonts should show properly.
Regards,
Neha

Already logged in message but not showing up in Server Admin

Running server software 10.3. Most clients are 10.4.
I have several students that can't log in because it says they are already logged in elsewhere. Normally I go to Server Admin and disconnect them and they can then log in. But I've got about 4 students right now that are NOT showing up in Server Admin, so I can't disconnect them. Any ideas of what might cause this, and more importantly, how to fix it?

I have this issue as well. Rebooting the router and server? I'm glad that works but that should not be necessary. Neither should checking allow simultaneous login on multiple computers in WGM.
I will continue to look for an answer. thanks for the tip.
