Locking Menu Bars

Is there a way to lock the menu bars on a form? I have set the menu bars to be hidden on intial view of a contractual form, in an effort to force the sales associates to use buttons that I created which tell them when a required field is not filled in. This worked for a while, but now the sales associates have figured out how to unhide the menu bars and are still sending in incomplete forms. Is there some way to gray out certain fields in the menu bars (i.e. Attach to E-mail)? I would like to be able to secure this form to the point where it cannot be submitted without all required information.

You may be able to do what you want in Javascript (check with the Acrobat Scripting forum). But you may end up with fewer forms, if they cannot submit their forms. Why not implement a check to make sure your required fields are filled out, before allowing submission of the form. Better than submitting the file by email, require submission on the web or on a local server. Setup the check for missing fields is easier in this context and removes the problem of saving the pdf files which generally has a 500 use restriction.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

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.

When I have Safari maximized, can I lock the menu bar?

Viewing Safari from my desktop, I do and can view/use the menu bar. But, what about when I have Safari maximized? It is always in hiding. Is there a way to lock it? I would like to know time and battery status at a glance....

When you put your screen in "Full Screen Mode," you cannot see the menubar or the dock. To have access to those two things, you can only drag the viewing screen out to its limits.
To get the pane to its fullest size, drag the left corner all the way to the left of the screen. Then, Drag the screen out by the selecting the lower right corner and dragging outward to the right.

Can you lock the menu bar?

Hi all,
I am using iWeb to create a website and so far am really pleased with what it can do.
However i would like to be able to lock the menu bar so that it always stays at the top of the screen and the rest of the page scrolls up underneath it, or alongside it if i put the menu bar on the left. The idea is that no matter where the reader is on the page they will always have access to the menu buttons. I remember doing this on another program back in the bad old windows days, i think it might have been locking panes or similar.
Can this be done in iWeb?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Mike

Here's a locked menu in action.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3563737/Lycos/Fixed.html
It's an Ad-Hoc solution, because I had the take the shaded bar at the top into account. Will fixed that later.
The bar at the top of this page and the other pages is a solution to have the bar stretch the width of the page when you resize the browser window.
It cannot be done in iWeb itself. You need a JavaScript.
So you get two solutions for the price of one.
Here's the JavaScript :
Apparently Discussions does not accept all the JavaScript code.
So have a look at the source here :

Note that you can publish iWeb at DropBox.

FireFox 4, Ubuntu 10.04 - menu bar and bookmarks are locked

I recently upgraded to Firefox 4 on ubuntu 10.04. I did this by setting the ppa as described in many places: For example:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
After doing this, firefox has been working for many days just fine. On several of my systems [ 3 of my systems ].
Now I come back to one of my 10.04 systems and find that the menus of firefox are unresponsive. They do not work at all. The book marks do not work.
Processor is not busy.
Plenty of memory.
Network is working fine.
If I type into the google search bar and type enter I get a page and I can navigate from there, but the menus and bookmarks are totally unresponsive.
What gives?
I have rebooted the system and nothing changes.
Menus work fine in other apps, for example System Monitor. and the Window Manager menus are fine.
Menus work fine in the web pages.
Bookmark menus highlight, they do not pull down.
Menus on the menu bar do not pull down.
Toolbar buttons work fine.

I fixed the problem by starting firefox in a terminal. Works when you start it that way, and works fine afterward.
This problem was reported by me ages ago ( i forgot actually).

Caps Lock in Menu Bar

I got it working.

Date & Time won't show in Menu Bar

I just installed the latest automatic update for Leopard and now in the right hand side of the menu bar only shows the Default Folder X icon and the Spotlight icon (my bluetooth, infared, airport icons and date & time are missing).
I go to the Date & Time preferences and click the option to have it appear, but when I close that window or just switch to another tab on that same window, it resets it back to being unchecked.
I know, of course, to unlock these settings and tried locking them or leaving them unlocked in hopes it would actually "lock in" my choice of settings, but with no such luck.
If anyone knows how to get my other icons back where they belong I'd appreciate that as well.

I actually don't use "Default Folder" at all, it came with Leopard.
But this problem didn't come up until the latest updates.
There was a file permissions error in running activity Monitor, though.

Double-click didn't do anything, tried to drag it up there thinking (for some reason) that might work, but no luck there as well.

No luck here, as well. Although the file I was supposed to delete in ByHost wasn't there, so maybe that has something to do with it.

How do you disable menu bar icons from being moved?

The students at our school have discovered that if you hold down the Command key and click on certain menu bar items (such as the icons for Displays, Sound, Date & Time, Keyboard Layout, etc.) it is possible to move them around. It is also possible to drag them out of the menu bar and they disappear in the normal "puff of smoke" which you get when dragging items out of the Dock. Is there a way of disabling this nifty little feature, or at least of having it reset at login?
We are using Workgroup Manager (XServe, OS X 10.4.8) to manage the setup of the student computers, and I cannot find a setting relating to management of the actions I have described. The problem is that we have enabled a Vietnamese keyboard layout. The students can select it when needing to type in Vietnamese in Word 2004, and then set it back to the normal layout (Australian, in this case). Occasionally they forget to set it back to normal. Then, if a student in the next class decides to command-drag the keyboard layout icon out of the menu bar, the Vietnamese layout either becomes the default (with no way for them to change it back) and/or sometimes "kicks in" without any discernible reason when trying to connect to the server, making logging-on a challenge (the layout re-maps some of the characters). Any suggestions would be appreciated. We have already tried enabling access to the "International" System Preference, but some students then go out of their way to add every keyboard layout (there are dozens of them!) and/or change the language settings - have you (as a mono-lingual person) ever tried to navigate through menus when they are in Chinese, Arabic, or Hungarian? We would like to be able to somehow "lock down" the icons which are displayed in the menu bar (top RH corner) so that they can not be deleted or, alternatively, re-appear at next login if they have been deleted.

Go to Settings>General>Auto-Lock and set a longer interval.

PSE 7 Menu bar in Organizer will not display properly

I''m going through an instructional video on PSE 7. The video shows the menu bar in the organizer just to the right of the little house. My Organizer shows two > symbols in the middle of the area, with a drop down list of menu items. I'm not sure what's going on, but it seems that the menu bar might be locked or something like that. I have searched help for "menu bar" but found nothing on how to get the bar back. Can someone point me in the right direction to get the menu bar back?
As an asside............. Is there no help in the program itself? When I press F1 or click on help in the menu, I get directed to the Adobe web site. Does this mean that if you're not connected to the internet (using a laptop without wifi access etc) that you have no access to help files?
Thanks for your assistance.

Thanks very much for your quick answer. I decided to just use the system font. If issues appear during editing, at least I'll know how to turn it off. I didn't want to lower the dpi. I had it set higher for a reason............ poor eyesight...
I've bookmarked that faq site. It looks like there's a lot of good information there.
Thanks again.

Photoshop Elements Menu Bar Troublehsooting

Hey everyone, first time poster here. I have a question concerning a recurring problem that I'm having with Photoshop Elements 4.0's Menu Bar (File, Edit, etc.) I bought Elements 4.0 new in 2005 and have used it often since without upgrading because it still does what I need it to do for graphic design and photo restoration projects, but often, Elements' Menu Bar will lock up after increasingly shorter sessions of use. I can still use photo editing functions in the fields on the left & right, but the Menu Bar's buttons will flicker and not open when I click on them. When this happens, Elements won't close without Task Manager, and I can't use certain keyboard shortcuts on open projects (i.e. I can copy work suing Ctrl + C but I can't save it in Elements using Ctrl + S.) An unistallation and re-installation does solve the problem at first, but the frozen/flickering Menu Bar does return eventually
I don't want to buy a whole new version of Photoshop if I don't have to, so I was wondering if this was a recurring or fixable problem that I can correct, or is this a sign that I should get Elements 11 or 12? I'm running an HP Touchsmart 300 computer with Windows 7, and it flawlessly runs Elements 4.0 despite it's age aside from the aforementioned problem. This has been a recurring issue for over a year, but only now is it getting to a frequency rate where I can't move around it easily. I can provide other information if it's at all helpful, and thanks for any advance assistance!

First, thank you lundberg2 for moving this to the right forum, I didn't know that Elements had a separate forum.
I did delete the preference file for Elements 4.0, though not the way you gave because the Alt+Ctrl+Shift command didn't work on this version. I did it manually by deleting the Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 Prefs.psp file located in AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/4.0/Editor. This did help temporarily, but the problem returned after steady use today on restoring old family photos. Menu Bar buttons still just highlight and flicker, work can't be saved directly, and Elements won't close. I did notice that sometimes, changing the active tool on the left would get the Menu Bar selections open, but not all worked as normal, and the problem returned if I changed tools. Is there another possible fix/remedy that I could try?

PS CS4 menu bar sometimes disappears (parts of it)

Now and then, part of my menu bar disappears - the section just to the right of "help" - I think the first icon for this particular bar is to open Bridge. I've included a screen shot of my issue - notice that area seems to show my desktop (or whatever is open behind PS). I think this has something to do with my graphics card. I have a nVidia GEForce 9500 GT (driver version 6.14.11.9107 from 9/27/09). The driver is current. When this issue comes up, I have to literally reboot for that secion of the menu bar to reappear. Simply logging off and back on doesn't do it. When this menu bar section "does" appear, when I mouse over the icons, the "roll over" icon is blank - or just solid grey. I don't think that is how it's supposed to look.
I've also had trouble (recently and in the near past) with my "show grid" setting (reference: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/493932?tstart=0). For example, I would create a document 72px x 72px @ 72ppi - make my grid visible (grid settings are set to show 1 grid line every 1px & 1 subdivision). When zooming into any corner of the image, I could see the grid lines were offset (example images on my reference post) - this is not to be confused with the pixel grid. I'm wondering if these issues are related to each other and/or because of my graphics card. The grid line offset issue was previously fixed by deleting my preferences, but sine this is happening again, my guess is something is causing the "grid" to show improperly. I've tested with and without GPU enhancements enabled in PS preferences. I just can't find a common thread in which causes these issues.
If I still have your attention, I would like to add an "off topic" issue (maybe somoene reading this can help on the other issue too). In reference to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/508982?tstart=0, no one has really been able to answer this or confirm/deny they get the same results. This has to do with viewing document size, and the unit of measurement seems to get stuck on cm (I want it to remain on inches like it always did with CS3) - maybe I should go back to CS3. Whenever I have rulers set to pixels, the document size locks to cm. The only way I can see inches in document size is if my rulers are set to inches. To me, it makes sense to have rulers set to pixels (for many reasons), but when it comes time to print, change canvas size, etc., I want to see the document size in inches. I don't know if this is normal, but when I go to create a new document, in the preset drop down list for "default photoshop size", it's unit is cm. Could that have something to do with my cm issue? I'm already made sure my regional settings are US, and unit settings are set according to attached image (unitSettings.jpg).
At this point, I'm going mad because these little bity querks just drive me up the wall to the point I can't get anything done because I'm always troublshooting.If anyone can shed some light on any/all of these topics, you would save me from slicing a wrist or two Thanks...

Are you having rendering issues with other software or just with Adobe PS CS4?
At the moment, I'm not really using any other programs which would call for any rendering. Videos seem to play fine, so other than PS, I'm not using any other programs.
Did you update CS4 to 11.0.1?
I just did, so I guess I have to play the waiting game now. The roll over issue I mentioned before is still giving me just a gray square roll over state. I don't know what (if anything) is supposed to show on roll over. What do you see when you roll over any of those buttons?
Also you might want to update Directx. I know it has nothing to do with
opengl but some posters in the past have reported that some things got
better.
I currently have version
When I tried to update at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b -bc6a-9b6652cd92a3, and install, I would get this error Even though I meet the requirements for this update, something is not letting me. I even made sure my Cryptographic Services was enabled and started. When opening PS, there were times I would get an error something to the effect that PS had a problem with the display driver so something or another was disabled (which I'm thinking it was just not allowing open GL drawing (which was usually around the time I would notice that menu bar section I posted about previously).
Also sometimes newer video card drivers are not the best drivers for a
given application. Have you went back to a set of older drivers to see
if that may cure the problem?
I've rolled back my graphics driver. Will have to wait and see if that solved anything.
As for
the ruler problem some people, from what I have read, have the same or
simular issue. There is a recent thread about 2 or 3 days ago that had
a ruler problem and I don't think it was fixed.
The recent thread was probably mine. I didn't mean to double post about that topic, but sometimes when just one person responds (and usually doesn't have anything helpful to say), others will just pass up that post. This issue is maddening, so maybe one day it will fix itself or I will move on.
Thanks for your time, I will post back if anything else goes wrong - I mean "when" something else goes wrong.

Menu Bar and Keyboard not working

Hi,
My Ipad has encountered some very annyoing issues. Worked fine for 4/5 weeks since purchase and now this has started to happen. I am unable to use Menu Bar at top of screen when Ipad is held in Portrait position. For example when in Safari, cannot input new email address, use back button, use X button. And its same with other applications - when in settings, the options on menu bar at top are not working - As if its Greyed out and not accessible. When I flip Ipad into Landscape position, these options on Menu Bar are then working - very fustrating.
Also same issue affecting keyboard. When holding Ipad in landscape position some keys do not work and they do when Ipad flipped back into Portrait position.
Means i am constantly turning Ipad around in my hand endlessly trying to get it to function making it pointless to use. Only setting that I can see that may be affecting this is Lock rotation - but same issue with this selected or not.
Anyway any help appreciated as Im not very tech savvy and only have Ipad few weeks. I've downloaded no apps, only used it for browsing internet so far. I have taken some photos and videos and really would hate to lose those.
All comments appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention that Ipad also keeps telling me that I cannot get Mail when I click on Mail icon - That Connection to server failed?

How to show active page in Spry Menu Bar using images
