  • Add an item to the Apple menu

    I would like to know how to add an item to the Apple menu using OSX Lion, any help would be more than appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Ron

    1. You don't need to use Apple Menu Options for this; to add the item, double-click your hard disk's icon in the Finder and then open the System Folder. You can change the contents of the Apple Menu Items folder as if it was any other folder.
    2. Open the Preferences folder in the System Folder and drag the item named Apple Menu Options Prefs inside to the desktop. Try opening the control panel again.

  • Can someone verify the following regarding Find My Phone:  I assume the lost device (iPhone) and the device (ipad) one is using to find the lost item must have the identical Apple ID, Apple PW, and iCloud PW and username? Otherwise it won't work?

    Can someone verify the following regarding Find My Phone:
      I assume the lost device (iPhone) and the device (ipad) one uses to find the lost item must have identical Apple IDs , PWs as well as identical iCloud identification?

    Back now.  Are you saying that you entered you iCloud ID and password in the Find My iPhone app (see photo below), and it said you don't have an iCloud account?  Are you sure this is the ID for your iCloud account (check Settings>iCloud next to Account at the top on the device you are trying to track)?
    Also, did you try using this ID and password on icloud.com on your computer to try to track it, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442?  Did that work?

  • Lost most of the Apple Menu items with 10.8.5

    I have only
    About This Mac
    Force Quit...
    Sleep
    Log Out (User)...
    The Finder starts up as Simple Finder, I have to select Run Full FInder to get the full Finder back but it does not reactivate the Apple Menu items.
    After restarting the computer the Finder again opens as Simple Finder.
    Root has access to the normal Apple Menu items.
    Please someone give me some advice
    Thanks

    Part of your problem, at least, is that you're in single-application mode.
    Back up all data.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app && killall Dock
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign ("$"). You can then quit Terminal. Test.

  • How do I remove "Recent Items" Documents from the apple menu?

    I've been searching for an answer to this question for the better part of 3 hours now.  W
    Several iterations of osx ago, there was the ability to separately limit how many recent items were shown for Applications, Documents and Servers.  Over the years, I simply installed a newer version of osx on top, and surprisingly my recent items always eliminated the Documents from the list. 
    I've since done a clean install of mavericks after installing an SSD, and i've lost this small but important part of my work flow.  No matter what I've tried to remove the documents from Recent Items, it always shows up.  I can still boot into my old HDD (which is now installed as a supplementary drive and also updated and running mavericks 10.9.2), and see from clicking on the Apple Menu > Recent Items that it only displays Applications and Servers.
    Try as hard as I can, I can't simply figure out how to remove the documents from the recent items menu.  I've tried editing the com.apple.recentitems.plist file, to show 0 items for documnets, but this never seems to work.  (I've since read that this file is simply rewritten on logout.) Strangely, if I go into the old setup System Preferences, Recent Items:  it is showing as None.  I also suspect that maybe I used Tinker Tools or some other utility to change some command line preference (using the gui) several years back.  Not sure how I could investigate what would need to be done to compare files or otherwise figure out how to remove the documents section from the recent items menu.
    It's starting to drive me crazy.  Anyone?

    The Apple menu is at the top left hand corner of your screen, click on it and about this Mac is the first choice.
    Click twice on Version to get serial number.

  • HT5538 I bought my iPad at the pawnshop and I need to sign out the old Apple ID can you please help me what else can I do

    I bought my I pad at the pawnshop and I need to sign out the previous Apple ID could you please help me with this

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • When I tried to open a fresh iTunes download my computer gave the error message : 'program cannot run in DOS mode'. Since both items are Apple, why might this be happening?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Removing items from the Apple Menu

    Using Leopard in a School the pupils are always messing up the dock. I have locked system preferences but they are still able to mess with dock settings by going to dock off of the apple menu. Is it possible to remove this item from the Apple menu or to make it inactive
    Thanks

    I don't think so. Have you tried checking in 'Parental Controls' section? If there's nothing there you might need a third party software solution. You could always try to contact the Mac Genius bar too, they might know of a 'trick' to remove it.

  • HT201209 What can I do...I'm having problems with the secret questions and I need to buy an item now....I'm pretty sure I answer ok as I have written down everything.....help me please....

    Please help me, I need to buy an item but there problems with the questions..I'm sure I wrote the correct answer as I have written down just in case but it of not use..... What can I do???...this is my first time in buying a iTunes card....

    Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller?  Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones.  The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
    Try these steps, as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
    4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
    5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

  • IN TROUBLE! Phone has been restored, lost everything - forgotten Apple ID and Password!!! HELP

    IM IN TROUBLE! Phone has been restored, lost everything - forgotten Apple ID and Password!!! HELP

    As for forgetting your Apple ID, head to If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support  and follow those instructions.
    As for those things you lost, well that's your own fault for not syncing to iCloud or your computer. You can re download most previously downloaded items once you log into your Apple account in iTunes or the AppStore.

  • Access Recent Items aliases in the Apple menu?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how I can individually delete some of the aliases in the Recent Items folder on the Apple menu? Where do the folder or files live?

    Yeah, I'm thinking "OS 9" but shouldn't Apple include a way to easily delete these items? I mean, how hard could it be?
    Thanks for the advice though. I found the file, used TextEdit, but couldn't find what I needed, or at least, what I thought would be simple.

  • NEED more than 15 menu item in Context Menu ????

    Hi,
    I really need to have more than 15 menu item displayed on Context Menu. I desperately need some workaround or ideas to achieve this
    My client has invested thousands of dollar in Flex Project, he definitely need more than 15 menu item.If this project failed , client will NEVER think to invest in flex.
    Had I been  aware of this limitation before I would have thought some solution by now.This comes as a surprise to me at the last moment ,just fews days before Prod Date.
    I cant also user java Scrip heck  as my Flex application is running inside Dot net Container , I do not access to the luxury of java script
    Pls gents help me get rid of this ...PLEASE provide some ideas.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Dharmendra

    Thanks Natasha,
    I got your point  but as for as I  know grouping like Quality is not possibel in Flax Context menu. I also cant go for window style menu(file,edit) because I need them to be displyed on DataGrid right clk . I am designing a trade datagrid where in trader can see all trades and he can approve/reject etc by just right clk and  selcting proper menu item form Context Menu.
    In case of window style (acrobat.com) menu trader will have to reach to  menu instead of  getting all options on mouse right clk
    I will have to think other alternative wich provides same ease as cotext menu.(God knows what is that )
    Once again thanks for suggestion.
    Regards,
    Dharmendra

  • I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes to a new instance of iTunes on my brand new Mac... How do I "switch" from one instance of iTunes to another? How do I get the 5 Digit Code Network to come back on my Screen?

    I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes on my iBook to a new instance of iTunes on my new Mac... How do I get the 5 digit Network code to come back? Is there anyway for 1st Generation Apple TV to be synched to two instances of iTunes or do I have to choose one or the other? I appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks!

    The 5 digit code is every time different. That does not matter. Just integrate every device into your network.
    You can connect many computers to Apple TV but syncronisation works exactly with one computer. That's why I use "streaming". But you can sync one computer, then another, and so on. The content on your Apple TV is the content from your computer that has synced last. But you can not mix it.
    The new Apple TV has no syncronisation. Everything is streamed,
