Is there an utility that allow "Apps" menu in menu bar?

Lo, all these many years and I still think the dock is inferior to the pre-X option of having all the apps in a pull-down menu under the apple. (Accomplished through third-pary utility, if I'm not mistaken.)
Is there a utlity today that puts the contents of the Applications folder in the menu bar?

And lo, all these years later there is still AppleScript and you should be able do that by writing a script and activating scripts in your menubar.
As I recall it looks/works exactly like that screenshot of Xmenu. Except I don't see Utilities on the Xmenu. Is it hierarchal, because AppleScript is?

HT201541 Our Mac-Mini has gotten slower and slower. Is there a utility that would help speed it up?

Our 4 plus year old Mac-Mini has gotten slower and slower. Is there a utility that would help speed it up or is there another?

Hello! I’ve offered the steps below to similar posts in the past and they helped out getting to the solution (or at least find the cause). I suggest them to you too in this case. It will take you about 30 minutes or less to do these, depending on how bad the problem on your Mac is.
The goal here is to boot your Mac to the so-called Recovery partition where you’ll have a chance to repair the disk and the disk permissions using the Disk Utility and Password Utility. This might solve your issue and even if it doesn’t- it’s still a decent maintenance step to perform. These steps won’t erase your data or reinstall your Mac in any way if you follow instructions carefully.
Here’s how:
1/ Make sure your computer is completely shut down.
2/ You’ll have to be quick next: Press the Mac’s power button. As soon as you either hear the loud chime, or see the display light up - usually after a second or 2 - on your keyboard press [cmd] + [r] Keep these keys on your keyboard pressed until you either see an Apple Logo with a loading bar or a spinning gear.
After a few minutes, you’ll be presented with a Utilities screen. This is the Recovery partition. If this step is already giving you problems, try using a USB-keyboard. It doesn’t have to be an Apple-keyboard. If you have a Windows-tailored keyboard laying around, use the “Windows-flag” key in stead of the [cmd]-key and it should also work.
3/ Choose Disk Utility and click [continue]
Disk Utility will display your computer’s harddrive in the left column. The default name for it is “Macintosh HD” and is usually the second one from the top. Click on it and click on the [verify disk] button. This will check your “Macintosh HD” harddrive partition for errors. If found, click [repair disk] unless you have a Fusion drive in your Mac and it says [fix] instead of [repair disk] please tell us before you continue! For a screenshot of what I mean, check this article from Apple: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202574
4/ Once done with the verifying or repairing of your “Macintosh HD” click [repair disk permissions]
This will check your partition for permissions errors. A common myth about this feature is that it will fix all permissions issues on your Mac, which is not true, but it will fix most systemwide issues. Also, here is a list of error messages that you can safely ignore if they pop up:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203172
5/ Lastly we shall do a permissions/Access Control List repair on specifically your user’s home folder with a somewhat hidden tool in the Recovery partition. Close Disk Utility and find the menu called “utilities” in the top left corner of your computer’s display. It’s in between the menus “edit” and “window” Don’t be confused with the menu called “os x utilities”
Choose Terminal. A somewhat old-fashioned looking window will pop up, waiting for a text command from you. This is the Terminal.
After the # type: resetpassword and press return. Note that there is no space between ‘reset’ and ‘password’
What you’ll see next is an rectangular window that gives you the option to reset passwords. We are not going to that, however. Instead, click on “Macintosh HD” at the top. In the pull-down menu below that, choose your user's accountname. Skip all the rest and at the very bottom click the [reset]-button.
A spinning gear will appear and may stay on for a second or several minutes. It’s hard to predict exactly how long.
If you have multiple users on your Mac, I advise you to repeat this step for all your users.
We’re ready to reboot your Mac now. Click on the Apple Menu and choose “startup disk” Choose to boot from “Macintosh HD” Please let us know if this solved your issue, or if the steps above did not work, or could not be performed for some reason.
If they worked I suggest you do these steps everytime your Mac becomes slow.

Is there a datatype that allows me to store more than one item at a time

Hello Everyone,
Is there a datatype that allows me to store more than one item at a time , in a column in a row?
I have to prepare a monthly account purchase system. Basically in this system a customer purchases items in an entire month as and when required on credit and then pays at the end of the month to clear the dues. So, i need to search the item from the inventory and then add it to the customer. So that when i want to see all the items purchased by a customer in the current month i get to see them. Later i calculate the bill and then ask him to pay and flushout old items which customer has purchased.
I am having great difficulty in preparing the database.
Please can anyone guide me! i have to finish this project in a weeks time.
Item Database:
SQL> desc items;
Name Null? Type
ITEMID VARCHAR2(10)
ITEMCODE VARCHAR2(10)
ITEMPRICE NUMBER(10)
ITEMQUAN NUMBER(10)
Customer Database:
SQL> desc customerdb;
Name Null? Type
CUSTID VARCHAR2(10)
CUSTFNAME VARCHAR2(20)
CUSTLNAME VARCHAR2(20)
CUSTMOBNO NUMBER(10)
CUSTADD VARCHAR2(20)
I need to store for every customer the items he has purchased in a month. But if i add a items purchased by a customer to the customer table entries look this.
SQL> select * from customerdb;
CUSTID CUSTFNAME CUSTLNAME CUSTMOBNO CUSTADD ITEM ITEMPRICE ITEMQUANTITY
123 abc xyz 9988556677 a1/8,hill dales soap 10 1
123 abc xyz 9988556677 " toothbrush 18 1
I can create a itempurchase table similar to above table without columns custfname,csutlnamecustmobno,custadd
ItemPurchaseTable :
CUSTID ITEM ITEMPRICE ITEMQUANTITY
123 soap 10 1
123 toothbrush 18 1
ill just have it as follows. But still the CUSTID FK from CustomerDB repeats for every row. I dont know how to solve this issue. Please can anyone help me.
I need to map 1 customer to the many items he has purchased in a month.

You must seriously read and learn about Normalization of tables; It improves your database design (at times may increase or decrease performance, subjective cases) and eases the Understanding efforts for a new person.
See the below tables and compare to the tables you have created

Is there a setting that allows for simultaneous downloading and watching of a rental movie on ATV?

Is there a setting that allows for simultaneous downloading and watching of a rental movie on ATV?

Apple TV has no storage, it is caching the movie and needs to load a portion before playback starts. The time it takes is dependent on your network.
What is your current connection via speedtest.net?
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try ethernet

Is there a possibility that my apps are hidden?

Is there a possibility that my apps are hidden? Because when checked my iPod, all my 200+ apps were gone but when I plugged it in my laptop there is a portion in my memory that says "others" which measures about 10gb. I remember my apps having the same size so I presumed that it is that part. How can I make my apps appear? I don't have any backup of my games so I can't sync it.

The "other" should be about 0,5 GB or less. A large "other" means that it containes a lot a corrupted files. To regain the storage space on the iPod you have to restore yur iPod. Usually a restore to factory defaults/new iPod is required.

Is there an adapter that allows youto use ethernet cables in hotels?

I travel for work and don't want to use wireless in countries such as Nigeria. Is there an adapter that will allow me to use the ethernet cable in my hotel room for the ipad2?

No. However, you can travel with an Airport Express. The hotel's Ethernet connects to the AEX. Then the AEX is configured to provide a local wireless network in the room. You will need the Airport Utility app for the iPad.

Is there a utility that cleans up itunes?

Is there a utility program available that automatically cleans up things like band names... The Hollies to Hollies... makes all the genre uniform for a group/performer, corrects spelling... etc???
Thanks

I am not aware of anything like that but you can do a lot of that in bulk in iTunes. When you select a bunch of tracks at the same time, do a Get Info on the batch, you can now change tags that will be applied to all the selected tracks.
So for example, you could select all the tracks by a band, get info on the whole batch then assign a single Genre to the whole batch. Or you could type in "Hollies" for the search term, get all the tracks that show up as The Hollies and just Hollies, select them all, then retype the band name ONCE to be applied evenly to all of them.

Is there a utility that will show the actual ram voltage in Windows?

Sorry for the newbie question. ASUS had this utility that showed the actual ram voltage in windows. I don't think it'd work with an MSI motherboard. And I don't think any of the overclocking utilities show the actual ram voltage. The reason I asked was because the ASUS P5N-D overvolted my ram by .1 volts. If I set 2.2v in the BIOS, it would overvolt the ram to 2.3v. That's not exactly the greatest thing. I just wanted to check if my brand spanking new P7N Diamond is doing the ram voltage accurately. It should be right? Oh and I have cheapo Patriot memory ram. It's rated at 2.2 volts. Seems like all PC2 6400 ram is rated at 2.2 volts these days though. Maybe a 2.1v somewhere but that's becoming more and more rare. Thanks.

yeah... LOL. Everest shows what you've set it to. I can just look in the BIOS or just like remember 2 seconds into the past. :-P I guess there isn't something for that. Just as I thought. I wonder if I can trick the ASUS utility into thinking that I'm running an ASUS board. :-P Probably wouldn't work right anyway though.

Are there any plugins that allow photoshop elements to read DDS files?

I have multiple DDS files that I have been trying to open in Photoshop Elements 8, and a window comes up and says that it cannot open it because it is the "wrong type of file". I would like to know if there are any plugins I can download to fix this problem. It would also be helpful if the plugin could save the file in a DDS format, too. I had been using a trial of Photoshop CS6 and I had a plugin for that, and I recently found an old disc that had Photoshop Elements 8 on it that I downloaded. Back to the point, are there any plugins that can do this?

The 32 bit version of this plugin should work in pse 8 if you on windows:

Is there a utility that can do this?

I have a few videos I watch every day for training purposes. What I'd love to be able to do is find some way where I black out everything else on my screen except the movie, so I can't see any other windows, can't see the desktop, nothing. I want to eliminate visual distractions.
now some will say "just go full screen", but I don't want to go full screen. The resolution doesn't support it and that's just too big and fuzzy. I want to keep it at about a half to a third of the screen, but I want that size displayed and then nothing else.
I seem to vaguely remember some utility that would do something like this but now I can't find it, and maybe I just dreamt it up. Anybody have any suggestions?

I'm using QuickTime Player 10.0.
Try the key sequence "Command-F" followed by "Command-1" to play the file at its "normal" size on a black screen.

Is there a setting that allows firefox to follow redirects on inactive tabs?

I usually browse multiple pages at once. While one page is busy loading I like to switch tabs and read another page. The problem Ive recently encountered is that whenever there is a page redirect firefox will wait until the tab is active before following it.
For example sometimes when Im posting a message to a support forum (lets say forums.fedoraforum.org as just one specific example) it will submit my message and then try to redirect me back to the thread that I was posting to. I often switch tabs right after I click submit and expect the page to be loaded when I come back, but to my disdain firefox will wait until the tab is active before following the redirect, thus when I switch back it still has not even started loading the page yet.
I was hoping maybe there is an about:config setting or something that will allow firefox to follow these redirects while the tab is inactive?

A standard diagnostic step is to try Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether it is caused by a custom setting or add-on.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
If redirects now work normally, you can assume that an add-on or custom setting is the culprit.

Is there an utility that allow "Apps" menu in menu bar?
