I want to remove buttons in favour of a Windows menu equivalent, how do I control the software without cluttering the GUI?

My Graphical User Interface is fairly full of controls & buttons, removing the buttons should simplify and improve the appearance of the GUI. I would like to capture all of the menu selections and drive the software without relying on offscreen buttons etc. Is there a standard technique? I have started to look at queue, notifiers, occurences etc but I havent seen anything yet that looks obvious for the application.
Help appreciated.

You want to replace front panel controls with a custom menu? If that's true, then the code to do that is similar to the best way to handle the original controls. The event structure has both menu selection (User) and Menu Selection (App). As the shipping example Menu Selection with Events shows, you get the ItemTag and MenuRef from which you get the menu's item name which can be connected to a case structure. Since the menu name is a string, it also works well in a queue based state machine.

I want to remove/change my company logo from payment advice. How can we do that? Whar are the steps or procedure?
Thanks.

Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
The first is labeled "Printer",
The second is "Presets".
The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I am wanting to remove my credit card details from my iTunes account. How do I do this???

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your iOS device then try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen then do you owe iTunes anything or have any pre-orders/subscriptions due : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ?

HT201250 My MacBook is full. I want to 'save' (backup) everything on my Time Capsule and then reset my MacBook to factory settings so it is empty again. Can I access my files on the TC without restoring the whole thing to my MacBook?

I also bought a WD My Book 2T external hard drive, but I think I wasted my money. The thing is not easy to navigate. I bought it because I didn't understand (and still don't really) how the Time Capsule works. I want to be able to basically 'reformat' my MacBook so it is empty, but have all my current stuff accessable so that if I want to find a photo or file, I don't have to restore the entire thing back onto my MacBook.

Then what you want is a Carbon Copy Cloner of your entire OS X boot partition which includes everything (OS X, programs and files) and is hold the option key bootable at boot up (wired or built in keyboard) this way you can boot from it or use Migration or Setup Assistant against it, or access it directly from any computer capable of reading the HFS+ format (Windows PC needs MacDrive installed)
It's like the ultimate backup system, just blows TimeMachine and TimeCapsule away completely in almost every manner.
You need another backup anyway in case TC wasn't doing it's job. With the clone you can check it out completely before erasing the original drive too.
Most commonly used backup methods
So you need a blank powered external drive formatted Partition: 1 option: GUID and format OS X extended journaled in Disk Utility, use the Erase > Secure >Zero (or middle selection in 10.7+) and allow that work, may take a few hours but it's good for all new drives to be done once.
Next download CCC and select your boot drive and clone it to the external drive, then when it's finished you hold the option key down (wired or built in keyboard) and while booting up (Startup manager) to select the clone to boot from and check it out.
Next you need to use Disk Utility (on the clone) and select the Macintosh HD partition of the internal drive and use the Secure Zero Erase (or middle selection) and allow that to work, it will scrub your drive of everything.
Next you install OS X again.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
Next you install your free iLife and third party programs from original sources

Then you can cherry pick just want you want off the clone drive.

My iPod updated by itself without a wifi connection. It told me to connect it to iTunes so I did and I updated the software and everything. After it was updated, my wifi button was greyed out and I don't know why. I sent it in to get fixed and the Apple store did NOTHING. I still have about 48 days left on my one year waranty and I don't know what to do to fix the problem. Please, does anyone know how to fix this issue without selling it or replacing it? I've tried all the troubleshooting techniques and nothing is working. Someone help.

How can i have a full screen preview of my photo on second monitor? I mean i want to live broadcast the result without save the file

I want to see the result of my editing on the second monitor for broadcasting

Window > Arrange and right at the bottom New window for (your file name)
You can drag this across to the second monitor, and work on either window. The results will be reflected in the other window. You can have each window at different zoom levels, so It's a useful trick for seeing an overall result of making a local edit while zoomed in.
Note: if your dual monitor workspace has panels open on the second screen, they will obscure the new window. So you would need to change the workspace back to something like Essentials.
