  • TS4196 Messages app is missing from my Mac.  What happened?

    Pretty sure I used it earlier this week.
    If I recall, I had a beta version.  I THOUGHT I paid a modest fee, like $1 for it later.  But now, it is missing from my Macs. 
    I DO have it on my iPod Touch.
    But there was not announcement about it being removed from my mac.  And I can't find anything on Google about it.

    You are correct that Messages was in Beta. However, it was free. If you paid for it, it wasn't from Apple. As for it disappearing, Apple may have removed it in an update or you may have deleted it. Either way, I do believe that the final version of Messages will appear on both Lion and Mountain Lion.

    The website that I will use supports the following browsers:
    Internet Explorer v.8
    Internet Explorer v.9
    Internet Explorer v.10
    Internet Explorer v.11
    Mozilla Firefox v.32

    Other browsers and versions may not function well with the website. Therefore, they recommend to use one of the above-mentioned browsers.
    Can I download any of these browsers to my MacBook Air if I already have a Safari browser? (can I have 2 browsers and which of those do you recommend that I download to my computer)?

  • Format menu button missing from MS Word for Mac

    Hi all,
    This is driving me crazy! My Word for Mac 2004 works perfectly, usually love it, but for some reason, the format menu -which I use to customize my default bullet and numbering lists, paragraph spacing etc. -is missing from the top of the screen. I've got File, Insert, View, Edit, Font, Tools, Table, Window, Work, and Help, but no Format. Lately I've been getting by just using my formatting palette and formatting toolbar, but it's really not enough. Also, the toolbar button from the Insert button is also missing.
    I feel like I'm going nuts! You know how you'll look everywhere for a pair of socks and then find it right in front of your nose? Please, someone embarrass me with an easy answer!

    Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

  • Why is the panorama tab button missing from my tab bar

    Just downloaded Beta 4 and find the panorama button is missing from the tab bar. Your video showing how to manipulate tabs show the button on the right hand side of the tab bar, on my download it is missing why, also some of the other bars shown in your video are missing to, why??

    You can add it if you want, right-click on a toolbar and select Customize. You can then drag and drop the "Tab Groups" icon from the customize toolbar dialog onto the toolbars. You can use this method to add other icons to the toolbars.

  • Arrow buttons missing from the scrollbars!

    Does anyone know of anyway including a third party extension to return arrow buttons to the scrollbrs?
    Lion has what is a fatal flaw to me. There are no arrow buttons in the scrollbars. Not even an option for them!
    I am aware of all the other ways to scroll, so don't waste our time telling me about them.
    When I am reading a web page, I want to to be able to click down one line at a time until the paragraph at the bottom is not cut off, then click in the scrollbar to go down a page. And repeat.
    Scrolling with a scrollwheel or trackpad lacks the precision of clicking the arrow button or clicking in the scrollbar to go down a page. It is to easy to undershoot or overshoot exactly where I want to go which is one line down at a time. This means is takes longer to do scrolling than clicking the arrow button.
    I also know you can go down one line at a time with the arrow keys, but this requires taking my hand off the mouse which also takes longer and is extremely annoying.
    Not having arrow buttons in the scrollbar is intolerable! I use them constantly, and if I can't scroll windows then I can't use the computer. So this makes any improvements that Lion may have worthless.
    Give a fraking option for arrow buttons in the scrollbars!
    p.s. As of this writing, there is no option to give feedback for 10.7 on the Mac OS X feedback page.

    I agree.  I use a program that relies on the arrow buttons for precise nagivation, and now that they're gone, it makes my work twice as time-consuming.
    At least with "natural scrolling" (Ha--it's like building a car that steers by pushing left to turn right, because that's how skateboarders do it) you can turn of the setting, or download Scroll Reverser.  But this, there's no option.
    They need to fix this, or else I have to go back to Snow Leopard and tell the others who use the program I use that they can't upgrade unless the arrows are back.

  • Print Button missing from list

    When I create a new project the Print option is frequently missing from the Toolbar Buttons field in Webhelp Settings. Sometimes I close the dialog, reopen it, and "Print" is miraculously there, so I can select it. Other times I can't make it display. Is there a switch somewhere, where I can indicate that I ALWAYS want the Print button? If not, how do I make it display when it doesn't?  Thanks!

    Hi there
    Whether or not you see a Print button is dependent on whether one was included in the skin you are using. Your example depicts that your skin selection is "Default". In order to see an option to include a Print button, you need to choose a skin that has one defined.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Upload / download BDS document buttons missing from MS Excel View dialogue

    Upload / download BDS document buttons are missing from MS Excel View dialogue window.
    This means that users cannot upload pre-built MS Excel templates into their own layout variants.
    Test systems have this function, but production box does not.  Is there an ABAP or Basis setting that is missing?

    hi,
    In this link it is mentioned on how to integrate the BDS in the SAP Application,

  • Close window button missing from my active+inactive tabs

    Hi. Does anyone else have the problem of the close tab button disappearing from the tabs, irrespective of whether they are the active or inactive tab?
    I can only get the buttons back by pressing the big "+" and opening a new tab and presto, all the close tab buttons appear again.
    Using firefox 8 on a windows 7 laptop. Not sure if it happens every load or just sometimes, but is frequent enough to be annoying.

    Hello, and thank you for your reply.
    I have narrowed down the problem further now- it seems that when I have an open mozilla window, and then open a link from another programme (have only tried thunderbird so far), the new tab may or may not have a close tab button on it (not right 3 out of 4 times)
    Didn't seem to happen when I tried safe mode, but I only tried it 3 or 4 times.
    It's not a big issue for me, but I guess bugs should be figured out.

  • "Firewall" and "Internet" buttons missing from "Sharing" preferences page

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded two servers to 10.4.3 (one was running 10.2 and one was running 10.3). On both servers now the Firewall and Internet tabs are missing from the Sharing preferences. Also, under the list of services on the Sharing prefs, there are only three services listed:
    REmote Login, ARD, and Remote Apple Events. No other services are listed.
    I found this problem because something in the firewalls changed and was blocking access to the servers via ARD. If I stop the firewall, then ARD works. So I wanted to go into the firewall settings and open up the ports required by ARD. Lo and behold, no Firewall tab on the Sharing page!
    I've searched everywhere for info on what could make most of the services disappear, along with the Firewall and Internet tabs. But I can't find anything. Any ideas out there?

    A call to Apple confirmed that the majority of services on 10.4 Server are now handled through Server Admin rather than through the Sharing preferences window.

  • Totals, Subtotals and ABC Analysis buttons missing from ALV.

    Hi,
    I have used FM REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY in my report without specifying a PF-STATUS that means STANDARD PF-STATUS is used in ALV, and moved from Quality to Production, till yesterday all the features such as Sort, Filter, Local file along with Totals, Subtotals and ABC Analysis were visible, today all buttons are visible but TOTALS, SUBTOTALS and ABC ANALYSIS buttons are missing.
    I have not done any changes to the Code nor the layout.
    Thanks in advance.
    Sunil.
    Edited by: Sunil Saini on Nov 24, 2010 11:26 AM

    Hi Lalit,
    I have checked the Layout.
    In Layout in Quality there are checkboxes in Summation/Totals column in front of Numeric fields,
    but these checkboxes are not visible in Layout of Production system.
    Regards,
    Sunil.

  • Sidebar missing from iCal in Lion - seeking a third party product to restore lost functionality

    Apple has removed the sidebar, the always-on list of calendars that required no click.
    The shallow popover that appears only when clicked — obscuring part of the calendar before disappearing — is to me (and some others) an unacceptable substitute for working with multiple calendars, especially where calendars are grouped across multiple servers.
    I'm aware of third party alternatives to iCal. (Most full-featured calendar interfaces do have an always-on full-height list of calendars. Probably the best known alternative to iCal is BusyCal.)
    This topic does not seek alternatives; I do wish to continue using iCal, albeit in a way that is less frustrating than what Apple forces upon users of 10.7.
    This topic seeks:
    a third party product that will restore lost functionality to iCal.
    To any developer who reads this topic: please, I beg you, on my knees, submit your iCal sidebar app — or whatever you wish to call it — to the App Store as soon as you can. I'll gladly pay, and more than gladly help to test any pre-Store development version.
    Other readers please note: whilst I'm extraordinarily frustrated by Apple's design decision, this is not an invitation to rant. Let's gain something constructive from this discussion.
    If you wish Apple to restore the sidebar to iCal, as an option, then please:
    submit iCal feedback to Apple, with your use case; explain why for you personally the limited disappearing popover is a poor substitute; explain how the sidebar will improve both (a) your productivity and (b) your appreciation of Apple's software.
    Side note: no category includes iCal, so I file this opening post under Using Mac OS X v10.7 Lion.
    Thank you
    Graham

    the new way
    Many things in the new iCal are beautifully designed. I am certain that the new iCal will be enjoyed by people who use the new multi-session screen sharing for Mac OS on iOS (that should be a separate topic).
    iCal's aqua popover default may be perfect for people who have only a handful of calendars.
    Critically
    The new design fails completely to offer an always-on full-height list of calendars — invaluable when working with more than a handful of things.
    The screenshot below, taken whilst evaluating BusyCal, shows a subset of my list of calendars (more than the average user, that's why an always-on list is so valuable). In shot: three accounts on a CalDAV server. I have other, lesser used accounts on other CalDAV servers. Also some use of Exchange servers. My own case is extreme but there's a guiding principle for a variety of use cases:
    some users need to see the list of calendars all the time.
    What's exmplified below has become impossible in iCal 5.0 (1535) in Mac OS X 10.7 (Build 11A511).
    I plead with Apple, or a third party developer, to restore the sidebar list of calendars to iCal.
    Apple's limitation is acceptable when the user has only two calendars —
    — but for some other classes of user, completely inappropriate.
    The percentage of users troubled by the loss of functionality may be less than the percentage enjoying the popover, but that in itself does not reduce the trouble, the frustration.
    The sidebar was present in 10.4, removed in 10.5. Many users of 10.5 complained.
    The sidebar reappeared in 10.6. Removal in 10.7 is almost completely dumbfounding.
    I would like to say, "give it time — the more you use it, the more it will be appreciated" but for me this is not true. For some weeks I tried to work with this build of iCal and the more I used it, the greater the frustration. I grew to avoid iCal.
    In most ways the feature set of iCal is unequalled. Support for many standards is excellent. The removal of the sidebar is a blight on this brilliance.
    I plead with Apple or a third party developer to fix this at the earliest opportunity. I want Apple iCal — but user-friendly, not crippled.

  • Why are key functions, such as the "back" button, missing from Firefox after involuntary update?

    I noticed that there is a new version of Firefox on my computer, different from the last time I had my computer on. There are few issues that I have noticed thus far. 1) The back" and "forward" buttons are disabled. 2) Whenever I open a website the address bar is missing the URL. 3) Firefox doesn't save my tabs and I lost all of my tabs from the previous session.
    Please help me. This makes browsing a frustrating task.

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
