Missing Dropdown menu on Apple

When I click on the "Apple" in the top left of the screen, I no longer get a drop down... I can't shut down (gracefully i.e.)? Any idea of how to restore this?
I have had a rash of problems lately. My system "died" took it to the Apple shop and they did a back up and resore which was cool. But soon after that one of my accounts just dissapeared from the login screen. I researched that and was able to restore it. Now this.
thanks,
Bill

Bill,
Well, here's another angle to try:
Open System Preferences>accounts and create a new user account with no limitations.
Click on your account, and click the check box to automatically log in as the new user (perhaps you could leave this box unchecked, and just log in as the new user when the mac starts up).
Close System Preferences.
Now shutdown your mac (anyway you can).
Restart...
1. Are you able to start up as the new user?
2. Does the new user have all the apple menu items you're used to seeing?
If so, I'd just move all you stuff over to the new user account (probably via the "shared" folder). Jot down all your network preference info, and just type it into the "new" applications.
Once you're sure you've got everything from the old account into the new one, I'd delete the old account....
Status?

Missing movie menu on apple tv

Hi :-)
I am missing the "movie" list on my apple tv after it comes back from standby.
The main menu only shows internet, computer, settings.... the movie menu is completly missing.
After resetting apple tv to default the movie menu is back, but all my settings are gone as well.
Anyone got an idea ?

I tried purchasing a movie tonight. It cut out within 2 mins into the film after buying it. I didnt think much of it because i knew we as canadians now have a "Purchased" column and i can recall it..... NOPE. It magically dissapeared and its back to frustration with purchases and trying to retrieve them. What a joke! I had all my friends over too specifically to watch a movie on apple tv. I figured i would just download it on my ipad or iphone and just stream it instead to apple tv.... again, no dice. Its like apple just flipped the switch off for itunes movies in the cloud... stupid stupid stupid!

Home Sharing Problem: Import Button & "Show" Dropdown menu are missing?

Hi Everyone,
My wife and I are both running iTunes on Macbook Pros and we are both logged into eachother's iTunes libraries through Home Sharing accounts. However, the Import button on the bottom has disappeared, so has the "Show" dropdown menu that is typically to the left of the Import button on the bottom of the screen when you are in the other person's Music Library. The Show dropdown memu typically displays the options: All and Not in Library. We can play and listen to each other's music, however we can't Import songs. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this problem??
Thanks,
Patrick

To clarify as I have this problem repeatedly here is the description and the cure.
Sharing is enabled in the sharing tab. Other computers can see this computers library but cannot import. The icon for the home sharing doesn't show the "house" - it just shows some musical notes.
This means that home sharing is not enabled. JUST SHARING.
In Itunes 11 use: File/Menu/Home Sharing/Turn on Home sharing.
But you are not done.
When home sharing shows up now in the left panel - click it. The right panel will present a sign on for your apple ID. Sign on and enable home sharing.
Then you will be able to import form the target computer again.
It gets disabled with OS upgrades and sometimes with iTunes updates.

How do I remove the "Dock" option from the Apple Dropdown Menu

I work for a school district where I am continuosly having to go back into Mac labs and reverting the settings on the dock back to normal. Students are changing the size, position and content of the dock, as well as hiding the dock. These computers are used by students k-6 and the younger children are getting confused when they com in and they cannot find the dock or its not where it is supposed to be. I have been able to lock the sizing, position and content of the dock but am not finding a way to elimante the hiding of the dock. Preferably I would like to remove the "dock option from the Apple dropdown menu. Please help!!!!

This question was asked quite a while ago and the suggestion was to use Server Admin Tools, which I know nothing about. You'll have to look into that. If these Macs are running off a server, then this might work for you. I'm seeing that Server Admin Tools from Apple is still current.

Missing History and Snapshot panels, not found in Window dropdown menu

Both my history and snapshot panels disappeared (LR5) suddenly, and neither appears in the Window>Panels dropdown menu.
This *may* have occurred when I was trying to bring up my target collection (command B). I must have accidentally hit some other key(s), because suddenly I was taken to the last folder I was in.
I'm afraid to close LR and reopen it, in case that makes the problem worse. I really want those panels back!

Folders should not appear in the Develop Module, this panel is in the Library module only
The folders didn't appear in the Library module.
But now I have clicked something else (and I don't think it's Wacom-related now) ... it was something in the Window dropdown menu, and once again, I get the folders back but the snapshots and history are gone! Aaarggh.

When I try to bookmark a page the dropdown menu only shows 4 of my many bookmark folders.

I have a heck of a lot of bookmark folders. These show up in the dropdown menu when I click on Bookmarks in the toolbar. However just today when I try to bookmark a web page, I only am given offered four folders in which to file the bookmark. Clicking on "choose" doesn't show any folders at all that I've created. Same thing when I open MF in safe mode with addons not enabled.
If I click on "Bookmarks menu" in the bookmark window then click on the arrow to chose a file, I see an odd assortment of random bookmarks and files.
To complicate matters, perhaps: This morning Firefox went crazy. Details don't matter now. I followed instructions in MF support and saved critical files. Then uninstalled and reinstalled a new copy of MF. Created a new profile and moved critical files into it.
Am I missing a file? Is something corrupted? (How would I find it?) Why would MF not see my folders when asked to file a bookmark?
Thanks

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
This can also be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

HT204204 My phone crashed after updating it to IOS 8. I can't use it cause its stucked on the start up menu, the apple logo with black background.

Hi to all,
I hope someone can help me. My phone crashed after updating it to IOS 8.3. I can't use it cause its stucked on the start up menu, the apple logo with black background. Even when I restart my phone, it is still stuck on the start up menu, the black background with apple logo in the middle.

Slone,
I finally decided to turn this annoyance into an opportunity. After a lot of experimenting I found that my iPad was just fine under 7.1 if I simply restored it as new. I have a lot of time on my hands and I had 1424 apps on my iPad! This is why every attempt to restore took so long.
I decided to restore as new, spend a day restoring the apps I really used. Doing so gave me a quick iPad with only bout a quarter of the storage used.
Granted it was a pain in the arse, but I wrote it off as in the old days when you had to do this with windows 95 just to keep a stable system.
I DO have some data in a few files of the now unused backup but a quick google search finds a couple Mac programs out there that will allow you go extract audio recordings, app data files etc. from the backup. I'll do that someday if I even miss the files I've probably forgotten that are there.
Anyway, there was nothing wrong with my hardware. I think there were just some troublesome setup items that 7.1 didn't like. Once set up as new, the ipad was fine.
Good luck!

Iweb + dreamweaver CS4 + dropdown menu not working on all pc's

I created a dropdown-menu on CS4 DW, pasted it in html doc. and is part of my iWeb created site.
Looks ok on apple: safari/firefox/iphone.. but on any pc does not matter which browser, it looks awfull, and the jumpmenu simply is not working.. what can I do to correct this?
Thanks.

By jumpmenu are you referring to the navbar at the top? It's well known that IE is not friendly with iWeb's navbar. The workaround for that is to create your own Text Based Navbar.
As far as the drop down menu, is it java based or html based? I'm not familiar with what does an does not work with IE as I don't do windows so can't help you anymore there.

Cannot bring up Home Sharing option in iTunes dropdown menu on my computer

I have confirmed that I have the required version of iTunes (11.0.4) on both of my Macs and can bring up "Home Sharing" on the left hand top dropdown menu on one of them (with OSX 10.8.4) -to which I want to transfer my iTune library - but not on the other computer (with OSX 10.6.8). Don't really want to change other computer to OSX 10.8 - but that shouldn't matter? Can anyone help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The option is for turning it on, which you have now done.

Is it possible to change the order of the Print | PDF dropdown menu?

From the Print dialog box, one option is the PDF dropdown menu in the lower left. The two options I use most often are second and eighth on the list. Can the list order be rearranged?

I wasn't able to find a way to rearrange this, but you might want to submit feedback about this: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Hi all,
i am currently developing a website which is all ready to be
uploaded but
cant because of a javascript dropdown menu.. I have a flash
slideshow in the
center and on the rightside are 6 images (mainlinks) one
below the other.
Some of these mainlinks have sublinks which need to be
displayed as
dropdowns. The dropdown needs to be as Javascript for easy
future
changes/additions and not in flash.
I visited many websites - javascripts.com / simplythebest /
dynamicdrive
/hotscripts and many other sites..but failed to find a
suitable, easily
editable and compatible script..
REQUIREMENT -
1) dropdown menu on image Mousever
2) The script should have/allow to set the respective x,y
(left,top) values
which some scripts lack.
3) Compatible for IE and Firefox
The only 1 compatible and easy editable script i had was
mm_menu by Andy
Finnell. But sadly the script is missing something and giving
errors.
PLEEASE HELP//

if you're using flash 8 you can use the externalinterface
class. otherwise, the best you can do is very much browser
dependent.

On G4 System Preferences, Network, I have a dropdown menu that says that my settings have been altered by another application and won't go away when I click ok, I can't work in the Network preferences and it won't respond to be closed. Have to Force Quit

On G4 Powerbook System Preferences, Network, have a dropdown menu that says this has been configured by another application. when press OK it keeps coming on & can't work in System Preferences. It won't even respond to Quit System Preferences and I have to Force Quit to close System Pref.
Any ideas?

Look at this link. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9372513
I did BDAqua's suggestion
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.

CSS (Responsive) Horizontal Dropdown Menu (Alignment)

I am styling a Responsive CSS Horizontal Dropdown Menu (for hours now), and can not get the main menu headings (Directory, Resources, etc) to align left (even) with the logo and content divs. I would also like the submenu headings (Learning & Games) and items (Catch the Bullet, Snoopydoo, etc) to align left (even) with the logo and content divs. - Like I am trying to do with the main headings. --I am trying to get the logo, main menubar heading, and menubar subheading to all align the same left.
(Optional) I am considering on not having the gray menuboard span the whole screen when opened. Not sure if this would look good, but even more unsure how to keep it in the 90% container the menubar is located in.
Here is the site for code:
http://dothopper.com/index.html
Thanks for any help.

Another great tip. Never cease to amaze. Thanks . I uploaded the new CSS with red border and looked at somewhat. It seems very helpful, but like this navbar, I'm gonna have to spend some time with. I think this may help me to figure the problem. This is a really GREAT trick, thanks. If you appen to look at my site, and see anything relevant to getting the element to shift left, let me know.
BTW, crammed some more learning recently (Mostly Dreamweaver, little HTML STructure, and JQuery). Going to try to not use as many divs, (use HTML tags and class selectors). Trying to use captions in my HTML and CSS for organization and understanding. Making copies of all my CSS, JS, and HTML. Set my areas (divs) up as 'section,aside,article,and footer'?--Tried adding metatag info (I think I missed 1 part of the metatag (they wanted a value?). Not sure if my metatagging is correct? Let me know of any advice what I'm doing right/wrong so far.
I taught myself to design using divs like tables somehwat. With the correct way of design (not using alot of divs)..how would I handle this?...
My old page (method), I had several,divs: 3- (content75%) and 3- (image25%) all housed within a div (approx 900px). Content was left, and images right. Total DIV that housed them was 75% of 1232px page? (I think)..The div that housed them was approx 900px (.75x1232). Content approx 675px and image approx 225px wide.
I inseted 480px wide images in that 25% image div and it showed it nicely as approx 225px wide on desktop, and when responsive on mobile, nice full size at 480px. (I think I am/was avoiding having to use alternative images--for each platform-- this way?)
With the correct way of designing (less divs), how would I handle this scenario above? IF I inserted a 480px image into a approx 900px div with no other divs, it would fill the div with a 480px image. IT would then throw my wole design off. I think I'm just missing some HTML/CSS knowledge. Hope this question makes some kind of sense?

Horizontal Dropdown Menu Buttons DON'T WORK

Any suggestions please?!
I am a novice Flash Developer and I created a horizontal
drowndown menu in Flash with rollover submenus. The dropdown menu
has buttons with Behaviors assigned to "go to webpage". The
published .swf file works fine, links and all. It is only when I
place the menu inside a Dreamweaver DIV that exists over another
image DIV that the buttons don't work. The menu will drop down and
can be rolled over, but it is when I try to click on the buttons to
activate the links that nothing functions.
It is worth mentioning that the buttons have an assigned "Down"
state that doesn't activtate, so I know the buttons are incapable
of even being clicked on. The problem is within Dreamweaver,
not the flash movie menu. Perhaps I am overlooking a widely know
trick to making this work? Am I missing a simple line of HTML??
Anybody have any experience with this?
Greatly Appreciated

Hi,
May I please have the URL of the site and any specific pages you'd like me to take a look at?
