Missing in Action:Tools, Menu Options; PREVIEW window present

Yesterday when I worked in Illustrator I had tools down my left side of the screen. Today they are gone.
Yesterday when I went to WINDOWS and VIEWS at the top of my screen there was a long list of options available, such as LAYERS. Today they are gone. There is only a simple, short list.
My working window in Illustrator say PREVIEW at the top. Is this right.
Obviously I am new, but I have to start somewhere.
Thank you so much.

no need to reboot. See my other response. ;-)
As for extra strokes in illustrator... If you pull down the appearances palette you can attach several strokes or fills to a single path. You can control the attributes of those strokes right there in the appearances palette too. So you can have one stroke sitting on top of another of a different size. Just be sure that the fatter stroke is on bottom so that you can see it. ;-)
Let me know if this helps.

TOOLS menu option missing from Adobe X Standard docs when opened in IE10

Hi,
A few of our users are having issues where any Adobe X document they open in Internet Explorer is missing the Tools menu bar on the top right of the document.
If they open the document in Adobe directly, the Tools menu appears.
It's only when opening in IE that the problem occurs.
Enable third-party applications is checked in Internet Options > Advanced.
I don't have this on my machine - IE displays the Tools menu correctly - so I can only assume it's a plug-in or a setting I'm missing on the users' machines.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

Slightly confused - why wouldn't it be available? Is it a limitation of the browser being unable to activate the plug-ins which are part of Adobe Acrobat X Standard? It's just functionality for altering the layouts of PDFs, page numbering, etc. Should be fairly standard?
Tools menu when opened directly in Adobe:
No Tools menu when opening in browser:

Photoshop missing in bridge tools menu since CC2014 upgrade

Photoshop is missing from the Bridge Tools menu since my CC2014 upgrade.
How do I get it back?
Any help?
I'm dead in the water.
r.

Well, My Ps CC is long gone and, apparently, re-installing it does not solve the problem. I posted another discussion on this issue within this forum entitled "Many communication issues between Photoshop CC 2014 and Bridge since update." Sorry, had forgotten about this one. I also tried calling Adobe's Tech support, but they don't seem even to be aware of such issues and were not able to present a solution over the phone. So far, here is a summary of what is happening with me, which I hope will help pinpoint everyone else's issues:
1. "Browse in Bridge" from Photoshop will result on CC app window opening asking if I am sure that I want to update "this Bridge version." I have no idea of what this means. I already updated Bridge and Photoshop over and over and the issue still occurs.
2. Bridge tools menu does not have the options to open images in Photoshop any longer. This is to me the most frustrating issue of all.
3. Mini Bridge is absent from Ps CC 2014
So, could Adobe please help here?

Flash Player not displaying menu options on Windows 7 computer

I am having problems with two of the websites running Flash Player -- esthergrayphotography.com and frascoimages.com
Both of these websites worked fine on my old Windows XP computers. I recently bought a new Gateway computer (Gateway FX6860-UR20P desktop) with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system.
When I opened these websites on my old computers, they had user selectable menu options at the bottom of the page. On the new Windows 7 computer, none of these user selectable options appear, although if you run the mouse over where they should be, the mouse pointer will turn to a hand and you can click there and the option will open.
I have tried everything that I can think of but have been unsuccessful in getting the new Windows 7 computer to show these user selectable options. I have tried to uninstall and re-install Adobe Flash Player (both the 32 bit version and the beta 64 bit version). I have tried Internet Explorer (both 64 and 32 bit versions), Firefox and Google Chrome.
For your information, the new computer has the following hardware / software:
Intel Core i7-2600 3.4 GHz
8 GB DDR3
1.3TB HDD
ATI Radeon HD6750
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on how to get the user selectable menu items to display properly? Thanks.

Here is solution I used for IE10, Window 7 64 bit:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie10-windows_7/ie10-says-adobe-flash-player-is nt-installed/d3c1eda6-cabc-4ca5-b4d9-dcba0c3aaad5
1. Internet Explorer> Tools (or Alt + t)>Internet Options>Programs>Manage add-ons (Show: All add-ons) verify that the Shockwave Flash Objects are enabled.
2. From Safety on the IE Command Bar (you may have to right-click the IE menu or IE toolbar and enable the Command Bar) uncheck ActiveX Filtering.
If that helps, it would be safer to re-enable ActiveX Filtering and make an exception for the affected sites. See this article:

Photoshop missing from bridge tools menu

I have upgraded from CS2 to CS3 and now cannot access Photoshop automate features via bridge as the Photoshop menu item is missing from the Bridge tools menu. I am running XP professional all programmes are up to date

All items are checked in Startup Scripts dialog, but when I click on Reveal My Startup Scripts, the folder is blank.
In /Library/Application Support/Adobe, there is no Startup Scripts CS5 folder.
I have now uninstalled CS5, used the cleaner and reinstalled it from different download files seven times, so I doubt that's the problem.
Don't know what to do next.

How can I create a shortcut to a tools menu option?

I use the clone stamp and the brush tool regularly. Each of these tools provides a Mode: dropdown list to select from in their menu bar.
The drop down options I use most frequently are Lighten and Darken. I would like to create short cuts to Lighten and Darken, such as Ctrl+Shift+L (Lighten) and Ctrl+Shift+D (Darken).
The tools panel menu bar does not appear to have a selection list in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box.
How do I create these shortcuts.
Thank you in advance,
Jim

They are already there. The same shortcuts that affect layer blend modes when other tools are selected, do exactly the same thing when the Brush; Clone, Healing Brush, Blur, Sharpen and Smudge tools are selected. (I forgot the gradient tool)
So with the Move tool or a Marquee selected
Shift Alt + scrolls down through the selected blend modes
Shift Alt - scrolls up through the selected blend modes
Your can go directly to specific Blend modes with first letters
Shift Alt n = Normal
Shift Alt m = Multiply
Shift Alt s = Screen
Now select the brush, or one of the tools that have blend modes, and the same keys will do the same job for that tool's blend mode.

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

Some add-ons are missing in the tools menu and / or modules and navigation bar

I am running Firefox 20 FRENCH (this is maybe important as all of this below does not appear with the EN version...) on MacOSX 10.6.8.
Symptoms :
- Web Developer toolbar not displayed anymore.
- Xmarks add-ons not displayed in the module bar.
- Icons of other add-ons displayed in the navigation bar ONLY after the first firefox opening i.e. just after system restart. If firefox is closed and re-opened, all the add-ons icons are lost.
> All the add-ons are installed in tha add-on menu.
> This behavior only appear with the FRENCH versions of firefox (tried 19.0.2 and 20).
> Installed the 19.0.2 ENGLISH version and all is OK !!!
Fixes attempts (tried almost everything...) :
- Reset firefox profile and restart with a new one : no effect (after I have reinstalled all the add-ons one by one...)
- Uninstall Firefox (with profiles folder, cache folders, etc...) then reinstall : no effect
- The only thing that is working is using the ENGLISH version...
This is really annoying because as a web developer I really need the Web Developer extension.
Does anyone has an idea of how to fix this ?
Thank you very much for your help !
Regards,

Does it have any effect if you change the general.useragent.locale pref to en-US ?

CD DVD print size is missing from Apple print menu options

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone has this same problem I'm trying to fix. Thanks for you input, is much appreciated.
When I bought my Canon Pixma MG 5350 that can print over blank printable CD or DVD, there was an option to choose the CD / DVD size. You could even choose to print 120 or 80 mm sizes. But after a while when I went back to print a DVD, those sizes were gone for good and there was only one size labeled something like "Disk tray G" (my system is not in English so it can be different for you).
I tried it although I didn't know how would this succeed if I had to print a small DVD and it failed. A portion of the DVD was not printed and left blank because the DVD position was moved away from the real tray size, so there was this portion not printed in the DVD but printed over the tray plastic!
I reseted the printer configuration, tried to update it and everything possible but CD / DVD sizes are just gone. I can print using the Canon software, however I'd like to use Apple printer dialog as I'd like to print from Photoshop, Illustrator, Pages etc. directly. My solution now is to export an image and print using the Canon software but this is not how it worked before.
I contacted Canon about this and they are "investigating" this. As the problem is in the generic print options in the System maybe this can be a driver problem or a change. It happens in both an iMac and a Macbook with OSX 10.9.4, everything is updated and working normally. Printer has the latest firmware and software and I reseted the print configuration in the Mac, also reseted the printer to factory defaults, etc.
Does this happen to anyone trying to print CD / DVD from the System print options? Thank you.

As far as I know, you can only print CD/DVD's on Canon's MG and MX series from Canon's Easy PhotoPrint or Image Garden applications. I've never seen a way to print from non-Canon applications. So I would say that what you are experiencing is specification and I would be interested to read if Canon came back to you with a solution.

Firefox sync account was set up but appears to have uninstalled itself, since the "set up sync" menu option is still present.

I am using firefox 5 on a snow leopard Mac and trying to sync to an iPhone 4.
I previously created a sync account but there is no sync panel in preferences.

Strangely enough, sending the email from account.services.mozilla.com did the trick this time! Thanks.

I have Windows XP. In my tools menu, optons tab the box to make Firefox my default browser is missing. How do I get it back? Thank you.

I can't make Firefox my default browser. I have Windows XP and in the tools menu, options tab that selection is missing

Tools > Options >> '''Advanced''' -> General = at the bottom under System Defaults
BTW, the Firefox 3.5.x versions are supported any longer, you should upgrade to at least 3.6.20 or 6.0. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Indesign Missing from Bridge CS6 Tools Menu

I'm using CS6 and indesign is missing from my tools menu. I checked startup scripts in preferences and it is checked. I tried unchecking it and restarting it then rechecking it and I also tried resetting my preferences when starting bridge. Running OSX 10.8.5 and Bridge 5.0.0.39
P.S. I feel like this should be an easy fix and an easy thing to search for but I've searched extensively and the only thing I've found is the question asked occasionally. I've not found anything for CS6 and I've not found a solution.

Yes. I ended up solving this on my own but I did want to revisit it for anyone else who finds this message. I can't believe it had been that long since I'd generated a conatct sheet like this but, for what it's worth, this change is not for the better. Previously you were able to use the tools in indesign to control the quality and file size of the final pdf. The new way of doing it is certainly faster but it gives much less control and I ended up with a 50mb contact sheet when presenting around 150 images
Anyway, this is how you do it in later versions of CS http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WS42C3020A-DAD1-4f92-8014-012263F3A51D.
Also, the reason Indesign and After Effects were greyed out when I was trying to use the place command is because I wasn't trying to place a single image I was trying to make a contact sheet. Meaning I had multiple images selected. You can only place one image at a time so the place command is greyed out.

How do I activate an HTML file from the tools menu?

I understand how to add a custom entry to the TestStand 4.0 Sequence editor using the TOOLS->CUSTOMIZE... menu selection, but I want to:
1) Activate an HTML page when the TOOLS menu option is selected
and
2) Provide the directory of the current sequence file to the HTML
and
3) Disable this new menu selection if the current sequence file has not been saved.

Thanks for the clarification of your suggestion. I have created a sequence with a single step: "Call Executable". In the Executable Pathname field I have specified iexplorer.exe. When I specify a specific HTML page in the Argument Expression field (i.e., "D:\Test.html") the sequence runs fine and properly activates IE showing the specified HTML file. If I just specify a directory in the Argument Expression field (i.e., "D:\Foo\Bar") the sequence runs fine and properly activates IE showing the specified directory.
However, when I put RunState.InitialSelection.SelectedFile.Path into the Argument Expression field, it doesn't show the directory. Do I have to do something special in order to get RunState.InitialSelection.SelectedFile.Path properly interpreted when the sequence is executed?

Are these suggestions speficic to the Windows version of Firefox? Because on my Mac version (31.0) there is no "options" in the Tool menu

Are these suggestions speficic to the Windows version of Firefox? Because on my Mac version (31.0) there is no "options" in the Tool menu.
I'm trying to figure out why Firefox has no spellcheck. I suspect it needs dictionaries installed, but it's a bit of a mystery. I had to reste FF as it kept crashing after I updated to V31.0

Yes Options is for Windows.
On Mac you use "Firefox > Preferences" or the Preferences button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
*Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
*Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/
Were you able to stop the crashes?
