I lost the tool menu across the top of my computer

I lost the tool menu across the top of my computer

This is why I will '''never '''use firefox as a default browser. I am not computer illiterate, but I just wasted 15 minutes looking for an add on that I know I installed. Being able to hide a toolbar when hitting a key, then not having any menu item that will "unhide" the toolbar is , in my opinion, very poor programming. When typing away it is not that hard to accidentally hit the ALT key. Then if you didn't know it had this effect, you'd wonder what happened, and not be able to find a way to rectify it, (other than having to use google chrome to google firefox help.

    View > Toolbars - Navigation toolbar
    If the Menu bar is missing (View isn't appearing), hit the '''Alt''' key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark.

    Thanks.

    No George, I was talking about 'Show/Hide Toolbar' item at the bottom of the 'View' menu of the 'System Preferences' application.
    Nonetheless, I agree with your suggestion.

    View webpages in full screen
    In many applications on the Mac, including Safari, you can expand the window to fill your entire screen. You can make a webpage full-screen with one click, and switch to another webpage (or full-screen window in another application) with a swipe of the trackpad.
    IMPORTANT:Viewing in full screen, and the Mission Control feature, are available only if you have Mac OS X v10.7 Lion or later. For information on upgrading Mac OS X, go to the Mac OS X website.

    To enlarge a webpage so it uses the screen, click the arrows in the top-right corner of an application window:
    To move from one window to another in full screen view, swipe left and right, or press the arrow keys on your keyboard.
    To return to standard view, click the arrows in the window’s upper-right corner:
    If you prefer viewing webpages in full screen, Mission Control lets you see everything running on your Mac, including your full screen windows. Mission Control presents your full screen windows as thumbnail images, making it easy for you to move from one to another.

    first generation apple tv has lost its main menu bar on top of screen.  Also I am currently in language choice and my remote seems to be locked, is that possible and if so how do you unlock it?

    You would need to go to an Apple Store (make an appointment) and take the phone, her father's original invoice when the phone was purchased, and a copy of his death certificate. Only with these will Apple unlock it. If you can't get these, the phone is permanently unusable.

  • I have lost the top three lines (toolbars?), containing File, Edit, etc; back button, home, etc; and most visited, etc. How can I get them back?

    Somehow, I have deleted the top three rows from my home page. All I have left is the AOL home page. I need to get back the "File, Edit, View,etc." line, and the "Page back arrow, Home icon, etc."

    * In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of 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).

  • HT201335 I am only getting the AirPlay icon when I am in ITunes.  It does not show up when on my Mac when ITunes in not on the screen.  There is no Icon at the top of my computer. How do I fix it?

    Can someone tell me how to get the AirPlay Icon on the toolbar at the top of my screen?  It only shows up when I am in Itunes.

    The airplay icon you are reffering to is for mirrorring your desktop.  It is a functionality of Mountain Lion and it seems, based your profile, that you are still using Lion.  Therefore, you will need to purchase and upgrade to 10.8 in order to get this function.
    Be sure your iMac is really mid 2011 as it will be the oldest to support the mirrorring function.  Apple TV 2 or later is also required.

  • My iPad is recognised by my computer but won't sync properly. Some syncing seems to be going on in the info bar at the top of my computer, but nothing happens on the iPad....I.e. no message that says syncing is taking place. It is an iPad 1

    My iPad doesn't seem to sync properly with my computer (vista home). Although some sort of back-up syncing seems to be happening in the bar at the top of iTunes, no syncing message appears on my iPad. I am trying to sync some music on my computer to my iPad.   The computer recognises my iPad and appears to be doing something but the usual message on the iPad saying that syncing is taking place doesn't appear.

    Hello Demo, thanks for your response.  I am signed in with the same ID and there are no restrictions on whats synced.
    The difference now when I connect is that (a) nothing shows on my iPad, also (b)  ' ' Autoplay' opens up for some reason...this didn't happen before.  Also no tabs open up to give me any choices.  The only thing that happens when I connect is that the little syncing bar at the top is active for about 30 seconds....backing up or syncing and then finishes.
    The main thing which intrigues me is that no message re syncing appears on my iPad. I've searched the help tutorials but nothing seems to quite match my problem, best wishes, Madge

  • Why is there a line at the top of my computer screen

    why is there a line at the top of my brand new macbook pro? it goes right through the top of the grey bar where the date time and everything is located?

    Don't know.  Ask Apple when you send the computer back to them! 
    You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.
