How do I restore the original Photoshop work space

Trying to copy the tutorial, I opened my own picture. I idly clicked on the color swatch, and got plunged into a maze. I clicked "Undo," but the work environment stayed the color management one. It did not go back to start. Then I clicked on the brush tool while trying to figure things out, and the brush dialogue box opened up and refused to go away.
How do I just click something and go back to the original work environment you are supposed to get when you open Photoshop? Even closing the program and opening it again left me in gradient nightmare.
Thanks.
Kenneth

Window > Workspace > Reset puts everything back into place for whatever workspace you have.
Essentials is the default workspace when you first open Photoshop.
If anything else is off, I'll try and help.
Worse comes to worse, do a Preferences Reset:
If you need a quick and dirty way to restore your preferences, here's a way you can do it using a keyboard shortcut on launch:
Windows - CTRL-SHIFT-ALT immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
Macintosh - CMD-SHIFT-OPTION immediately after you double-click the PS icon.

I'm using Photoshop Elements 12 on Windows 8.1. When I go into the Expert Edit Mode the toolbar available appears in one single column and misses off several tools including foreground and background colour. How can I restore the original toolbar?

My toolbars are mostly empty. What happened? How do I restore the original settings?

My toolbars are mostly empty. What happened? How do I restore the original settings?

* If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" 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 one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

How do i restore the original Firefox default theme?

The new Firefox brings a map of the world as it's default theme. I prefer the old one - Firefox himself!
How do i restore the original default theme? Can anyone help? Cheers

If you prefer not to see snippets then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
Delete the storage\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to reset snippets stored in IndexedDB.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu to restore the snippets.

I am using the latest Safari. When I open a saved web page, the page is replaced by a grid view of 12 sites I visited. How can I restore the original setting ?

I am using MacBook Air 13 for more than two years. I appears some setting in Safari has been changed unwittingly. Now whenever I open a web-page I have previously saved, the "saved as" page disappears and is replaced by a screen showing in grid view the last 12 pages of sites I have visited. How to restore the setting so that the web page when opened shows the page I have saved.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

I'm giving away my MACBOOK Pro. How do I restore the original setup?

I'm giving away my MACBOOK. Want to make sure all my personal info including user ids, .etc. Software I purchased is removed before giving away - i transferred the software to a new MAC. How do I accomplish this?

Reinstall the system from the original media AFTER formatting the disc using the "Disk Utility on the install media. If you want to super careful wipe the disc several times using the "Security Options":
Depending on the version that shipped with the machine the directions would be different. In this case I suggest a web search for "Mac OS X reformat and install" where you also incluse the install version of the OS.

I had some trouble downloading a particular web site and I fiddled with my browser settings, now it's worse! How can I restore the original settings?

In an effort to solve the problem below, I fiddled with a lot of settings. How can I revert to the settings as they originally featured ? (the default settings)

You can use "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

HT203167 one of my tracks i.e. Sultans of swing ( Dire Straits) should last for 10.54 minutes but now only plays for ten second then carries on to the next track, how can I restore the original download ?

One of my tracks i.e. Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) should last for 10.54 minutes but cuts off after 11 seconds, then plays the next track.
How can I re-download the track again to restore it?

Delete problem track from library (if it is an iTunes Store purchase and you entitled to redownload past purchases - stop otherwise!)
Close iTunes
Open iTunes
Select iTunes Store in left-hand column
Select Purchased in right-hand column
Select Music and Not on this computer
The track should be listed now with a small cloud symbol which lets you download it.
If you start downloading the track in step 7 then... While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked. (Should should help improve the reliablility of future downloads made with this build of iTunes.)
If the above hasn't helped then... contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

I think I accidentally removed some original fonts. How can I restore the original font package back?

I validated all the fonts and it showed some errors. So I removed the errors, but now some website looks weird to me. I think I have removed some fonts that come with the OS originally, but I don't know which ones. How can I fix this?

System fonts can be re-installed by re-installing Mavericks.
Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
First run Disk Utility > Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.
That said, you should always have a backup, as anything can happen at any time.

My yahoo.mail email window has spontaneously minimized, thus making it impossible to read without a magnifying glass......how can I restore the original format?

The email display has "shrunk" into the upper left corner of the window. I can view the same email info without any problems with Safari. I prefer the Firefox server/format, so I would really appreciate any help in resolving this issue. Thanks

Please update to Firefox 32 ([[Update Firefox to the latest version]]) and then try reading [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]]

Do you have a TM backup or a clone? If so, erase the drive and restore with TM or clone back.
If not you'll have to reformat and re-install the OS that shipped with your Mac. If it shipped with Lion or ML you can do the restore from your Recovery Volume
EDIT: I assume you are saying that you just installed 10.8?
