Moving minimize/close buttons to the right side
Since I don't have a Mac yet, you can skip the suck-it-up comments I've seen on other posts. I would like to buy a Mac... But I want the three window buttons on the left, moved to the right side, not to just be like MS Windows, but to also be like most of the window managers for X Windows (Linux). You can move MS Windows buttons to the left side, is it really the case that there is no way to move these buttons to the right on a Mac?
BTW, this is a 18 years of doing this on the right, OCD deal breaker for me, when it comes to buying my first Mac. I can deal with the other UI differences.
That's hilarious. Not only should Apple OS X (and MS windows) be offering a of variety of predefined (but different) UI layouts (like Linux), Apple should at least allow programming access to this so 3rd parties could implement the change.
On a supporting note, Microsoft is going to be bringing back the option of having the classic shell with Windows 8, something that has been biting them in the *ss, since the release of Windows 8. This is usally because people don't realize that they can just pin their apps to the taskbar and then rarely use the start screen, which is why I didn't mind the change. But some people really want the start button on the taskbar too. I am a computer sales associate, so this isn't just my opinion, it's the opinion of about 20% of the market.
Lookup Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD) on wiki, and if you want to eliminate people with it as customers, just ignore my comments. I don't even have it that bad, I don't have to organize every little aspect of my life, like some. But when it comes to changing something I've done the same way for 18 years, it's not going to happen.
Edit: I can even deal with the menu always at the top of the screen, but buttons on the left... That's a deal breaker.

I should be able to navigate back and forward using a button on the right side of the screen. This is where I scroll up and down from so doesn't it make sense to have the back and forward button there!!!
You can move the buttons around, see [[how to customize the toolbar]].

The New Tab button on the right side of the last tab is missing.How do I get it back?
The New Tab button on the right side of the last tab is missing on the Tab bar How do I get it back?
For now, you can try using Ctrl + t to open new tabs if you can't open them otherwise, but try right clicking the tabs bar, clicking "customize," and then in the window that comes up try clicking the "restore default set" button. I don't know if it will work in your case but it wouldn't hurt to try.

I have a Time Capsule on which I back up 2 MacBooks and on my wife's machine she keeps having Airport Utility popping up all the time with a yellow button flashing on the left and a Red button on the right side with a "1" in the middle of it. Can any one tell me what is wrong. I read where when the yellow light was flashing there was a problem, but I am a novice at this and have no idea where to turn. It seems to be backing up on a regular basis.
On the Mac......
Open up Macintosh HD > Applicatons > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Change the setting for Router Mode from the current DHCP and NAT to read Off (Bridge Mode), then click Update at the lower right of the window, and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
Then.....very important
Power off the Time Capsule and your Arris modem/router for a few minutes
Start up the Arris first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
Start up the Time Capsule next the same way
Your network will now be correct, and your printing capabilities will improve.
If Time Machine backups do not occur now, post back and we will tackle that next. -

I updated my I pad yesterday with the ISO 7.04 . Now it just has a black screen. When I hold the button on the right hand down for 10 seconds, I first very briefly get the Apple Logo, than immediately the I-Tunes sign with a plug sign. I cannot get anything else working. I did not have I-tunes on my i-pad since the file is large, but have it on my MAC . So how can I get my I-pad working again????
This solved all my problems. It took a while, about 87 minutes for the complete "restore to factory setting" and after that about 30 minutes to put all my contacts etc. back on.
It did'nt matter how long it took, I have my I-Pad back and that is great.
I really do appreciate your help. Thank you so much. -
The homepage would not load. The back arrow doesn't work. There is no bookmark page. To get it to all work i have to click on the house looking icom to get the homepage to load, right clik again to access the toolbars and left click on the bookmarks oolbars to remove it, the right again and left click again to have it appear. The passwords formerly on webpages do not appear and have to be entered manually. All in all I would rather have IE if i can't get my old Firefox back! edit'''bold text'''

Exist or can you add possibility to place menu bar(all buttons) on the right side of window?
Something like MS Windows menu bar which can be placed on each screen side. On 16:9 screen this will add more space for site and navigation still will be very easy. I wanted attach image with concept but it's not possible here :(.
I'm not sure if I'm writing in correct place but this support system isn't too user friendly :/You could try using Firefox's Safe Mode to reset your toolbars. Not sure whether this is a toolbar problem, but it's probably worth a try.
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, check this article on how to start Firefox in
[https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] and use the dialog to reset toolbars.
Any luck? -
Clicking the New Tab button on the right side of the last tab doesn't work
I am unable to open a new tab by clicking the plus sign next to the last or current tab. If you can assist me I would love some advice! Thank you
Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. The AnchorFree toolbar that you have is a version of the Ask toolbar.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons -
Maximize/Minimize/Close buttons are all greyed out
Hello. Ever since a few days ago, the green, yellow, and red maximize/minimize/close buttons at the top left of every window have all been greyed out. They're all still completely usable and they do what you would expect them to do...there's just no color in them anymore. This is happening for all applications.
I'm not really sure what's causing this. I don't remember exactly when it stopped working or what happened right before it, but it may have started happening right after my computer shut down, possibly from overheating (My friend was trying to be funny and opened the application window in finder and then pressed Cmd+a followed by Cmd+o --- To open all of my applications. We watched it chugging along for a while and then the screen just went black and the computer turned off). I don't know if that would cause the problem, I'm not really sure why it would.
I tried a google search but came up empty handed. Any advice on how to fix this would be much appreciated. Thanks.No problem at all! Do remember to check the smallest things first before thinking that it is a big thing.

How to get rid of new menu button on far right side of toolbar
Honestly, I don't know why developers can't offer us new features which we can use or not use, by choice. Instead, things are forced upon us.
Would someone please tell me how to get rid of the new menu button on the right side of the toolbar?
There doesn't seem to be any option to remove it via the Customize toolbars window.
Thank you very much.Hello brynn2,
First of all thank you for understanding us and sorry for the delay, it has really been a busy week for all of us out here.
The interface you see in Firefox 29 is a major re-design (first one since Firefox 4) of Firefox's user interface called "Australis."
You can use Classic Theme Restorer to get the previous look back. https://addons.mozilla.org/hu/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/

Two navigation buttons on the same side...
Hi guys,
Just wondering whether its possible to have two buttons on the same side of the navigation bar at the top of a view with one of them being the standard 'edit' button?
Ideally what I would like is to have a 'back' button on the left, and an 'add' and 'edit' button on the right.
Many thanks,
AdeI've never tried that, but it doesn't look like an easy job. I think it tells us something that the nav item has a leftBarButtonItem and a rightBarButtonItem. Subclassing UINavigationItem looks like a bad idea to me. You might be able to subclass UIBarButtonItem so you could initWithImage and locate the touches under the image. But I dunno how wide it could get. It might be scaled down to 20 x 20.
It might be much easier to use a tool bar and make it behave like a nav bar. Here's some code to slide the views in and out: [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9239601�]. Add a stack of tool bars and a stack of controller's and you're just about there. Then in a few weeks this forum will get 43 new posts asking which method puts two nav bar buttons on the right side. -
I am running Windows 7 on my new laptop. When I bought it back in August, I installed Firefox version 5 (I think) Now that I have updated to version 6, the minimize, maximize, & close buttons in the top right corner disappear when the window is not maximized. It becomes a black space where the buttons should be.
Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.
