Missing Edit menu
Hi to all,
I have a problem with Final Cut Express 4 on my G5 1.8DP with Tiger 10.4.11.
The Edit menu is missing from the menbar. It appears during the splash screen, and then disappears. I deleted the preferences, at no avail.
What can I check for, to have my Edit menu back?
Best regards,
Paolo
I was using the English version, and a keyboard layout I created based on the ISO Italian keyboard.
Now, I trashed the preferences again, and the Edit menu is back there. I'll see if it remains, or disappears again.

Recently when using FCE 3.0 the "Edit" menu disappeared from the menu bar. I did a complete reinstall following Apple's Troubleshooting Basics for FCE, that is, I removed all traces of the application from all locations. The "Edit" menu is still not there. It should be there between "File" and "View" but, it is missing. When the application starts up, it is seen briefly while the opening splash screen is displayed but when the app. is fully open it is gone. I have tried the reinstall process three times with no luck. I can still use the various functions by using keyboard shortcuts but I am totally baffled by this.
Is there something simple that I am overlooking or is this an indication of a brewing system problem? All of my other applications are fine and I regularly run disk utility and MacJanitor.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Message was edited by: Ernie BaudlerTom, thanks for the input so far. Explain exactly what you mean by "Depends on how I'm doing it".
Forgive me for pressing the issue but I want to know exactly what is going wrong during the install process to cause this issue. What preparation needs to be done before running the installer besides the usual permissions repair before and after the install is complete. How would you install from the CD? -
I've just upgraded to Tiger (10.4.5) and from FCE 1 to FCE HD 3. There seems to be no Edit menu. I'm sure FCE 1 had one and the manual/help suggsts that there should be one. No way to undo!!!!
I've tried to do a reinstall but its still missing. When I look at the Tools there are edit menu tools on the availaalbe pallette.
I've searched on the forum topics but not found anything yet.
Perhaps I need assistance to do a cleaner reinstall. Any help appreciated.Just wanted to say that I tried all of this and it worked.But later the problem came back! After much playing around I turned off all of my audio unit plug-ins and that has solved the problem the second time. I have a lot of audio unit plug-ins from many sources, and clearly FCE doesnt like some of them.
Thanks. -
On a Windows 7 computer I installed Firefox 9.0.1 and in my edit menu I have NO Preferences at the bottom, so there is no way to adjust any settings The edit menu opens up and I have undo, redo, cut, copy, paste,delete,select all, find....but NO Preferences at the bottom. This is a new laptop and nothing like skype is installed. The Firefox install is new today 1/6/12
Hi bruce,
What are you actually looking for? On Windows 7 your options will be under ''Tools > Options''. If you have the ''Firefox'' menu, you can hit ''Alt'' to temporarily enable the menu bar.
Your System details say Linux. Your say you are on Windows 7 though, correct? -
Like the title says, pretty self explanatory. I bought this MacBook from a friend of mine and her name is still on the Home Icon (short name). I get the idea of how to change it but once I get to the Directory Utility to enable the Root User, I find that there is NO edit menu. So now I'm somewhat at an impasse on how to do this so I've decided to come here for some help. Sorry if this has been asked a million times, I've gone through some other topics somewhat similar and nothing remotely came close to this issue. I find it odd that I don't have an Edit Menu in the DU. If there is a different way to this then please let me know, if not then please walk me through this. Thanks!
Have a look at this link - hopefully it sorts it out for you...

The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I can't find anything on a webpage
The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I cannot search a page. If I am looking for the word "Doctor" and I know it is on the page. All I get after typing the first letter is that the typing box turns red.
This is not fun.Make sure that <b>[] "Match case"</b> on the Find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check-mark.

"Edit Menu in Photoshop" not working?
If you have installed a new version of Photoshop, you may find that the command to "Edit Menu in Photoshop" no longer works.
The fix for this is simple. Just re-associate the .PSD extension with the new version of Photoshop.
You can do this in a couple of ways (all versions of Windows).
1 - Find a folder with a .PSD file in it.
Right-click the file, and choose the "Open With" dialogue.
Select the new installation of PhotoShop, and make sure that the check-box for "Always use this programme" is ticked.
Click on Open, and from now on all PSD files should be associated with the new installation. Some systems might require a restart to lock the association in.
2 - Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Folder Options.
Click on the tab marked "File Types".
Scroll down to the PSD type, and set the "open" command to the new installation of Photoshop.
That will do it.Andy,
I think that Jeff got the problem handled, but this is something that we will all be living with for some time - dead links to FAQ's, other articles and the like. Stanely Jones had done a good job of finding many of the "lost" articles from the previous forum changeover. Don't know if he'll be motivated to do it all over again.
I would like to think that Adobe has someone working on getting some of the old stuff back, or at least re-linked. Right now, the various search engines still have the old dead links in most of their searches. I guess that it will take the 'bots a while to catch up, if they ever do.
At least Jeff & Neil have gotten some of the FAQ's back up and working. Good job!

Is it possible to reset the default image size for VIEW in photoshop elements EDIT menu?
When I go into the Edit menu, I have to click on "Fit on Screen" to enlarge the view. Is there a way to change the default size of the Edit image so that the larger size I get with "Fit on Screen" is the new default?"
Not as far as I know. PSE opens a new image in the editing window according to its own internal formula for size.

How do I activate the Edit menu and Layers in the trial version of PSE12?
After looking at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements/faq.html#trial-information 1., which says it's a fully functional version, I downloaded the trial version of PSE12,.
But when I open a photo, and Select > All, the Edit menu shows the following:
Thinking that maybe Layers has to to active, but the Window menu shows the following:
Like in the Edit menu, everything is greyed out.
How do I make things active so I can actually evaluate this trial version?Are you in Expert Mode?
Cheers,
Neale

Yesterday and today the top half of my Edit Menu in Safari 5.1.10 is grayed out and unusable. I have tried everything I can think of including reinstalling Safari, repairing permissions, restarting. I am at a loss. Can someone tell me what to do to get the menu working again?
I'm replying to my own question - I have no idea what has changed in five hours, but I just logged on again to see if anyone had repllied to my question - and the problem is fixed! A total mystery to me, but thank you anyway. I think these discussions are of great help when you have a problem and no "guru" to go to. Thanks.

How do I join clips in iMovie, the join clip in the edit menu is never available?
I am desperately trying to edit some footage and I have split the clips and then added the footage I want inbetween the split, however I cannot join them back together as the joinclip in the edit menu is never highlighted, am stuck on what to do now, anyone help please?
The Join Clip command is meant to restore a clip that you split and then decide you want to "undo" the split.
It's really not particularly useful or necessary for editing.
The clips you use in your Project will all be effectively joined together when you export (Share) your finished project.
As you're editing your Project it appears as a bunch of separate clips but the finished project will playback as a seamless whole.

I've been moving many files that somehow were inadvertantly moved to the wrong folder. I copied quite a few, then one day after I copied a file, (and later verified it was on the clipboard), when I selected the location to copy to, the right click or edit menu options either did not have the paste option, or it was not enabled (faded). What could cause this feature to go away? I wish I could CUT and paste instead. If I try to slide a file to a new location, it becomes an alias and I can't delete the original file. I verified the disk and repaired disk permissions. Any other suggestions?

Add In's do not appear in the edit menu
I use Nik filters for LR on my MacBook Pro, OS 10.7.4. I installed the Portraiture add-in. It did not appear in the Photo - Edit menu. I reinstalled it several times. Then I opened the External Editing window and inserted Portraiture. Now the Nik filters do not appear. When I change External Editing back to Nik Color Efex it appears in the edit menu but portraiture does not.
Previously all of my 6 Nik filters appeared in the edit menu. Now only the filter selected in the External Editing window appears in the edit menu. When I clear the menu in External Editing no add-in's appear. It seems that only one add-in at a time can be accessed and that the External Editing screen is the only way to access other add-in's, much too time consuming for an efficient workflow.
On my iMac also 10.7.4 all the Nik and Portraiture add-in's appear in the edit menu.
Is there a fix?Apparently fixed with 10.6.2

Can't delete files in iTunes 10.4 (80) OS 10.7 Delete in the edit menu is not hi-lighted. Any sugestions? I have three Mac's and they all have the same problem.
Gmatos, when I high-light and drag file from iTunes to my trash the usual promt of "do I want to remove it" followed by by the uual "do I want to keep the file or remove that from my library" comes up too. I click "dont keep file" and it is gone from my itunes and my library an my HD. It's exactly the same as it's always been except annoyingly this is the only way I can do it as the delete button just doesn't work in this latest version.
Hope this is clearer for you. -
"Edit Menu in Photoshop" function is not working anymore due to new install of Photoshop.
I had Photoshop 7.0 installed on my system, and the "Edit Menu in Photoshop" function would bring up Photoshop 7.0, no problem.
I then installed Photoshop CS3.
When I pressed the "Edit Menu in Photoshop" button, it would still bring up the old Photoshop 7.0. Then I uninstalled Photoshop 7.0. Now, when I press the button, I get, "Could not edit in Photoshop. Photoshop does not appear to be installed."
Does anybody know where I can configure Encore (CS3), so that it will recognize Photoshop CS3? If not, what do I need to do to make this work (uninstall and install Encore?)Andy,
