My tool bar and Layers pallet are behind my free floating files how do I get them on top?

I have been a Photoshop CS user for about 13 years...I recently downladed CS5 to try it before I buy it. I've been a CS3 user for 3 or 4 years now. I love Photoshop but other than Photoshop I am not a very savvy computer user. So please bear with me as I try to explain my problem.
When I open PSCS5 it fills my computer screen completely and looks like this: A thin 1/2 inc strip on teh left that holds my "tools", a wider 2 inch strip on the right that holds "Layers, Channels, Paths" and a 1 1/2 inch strip on the top, then a big work area in the middle.
I usually have 2- 12X12 300 dpi new files open AND 10-15 photos or scrapbook elements and papers open to work on at any one time.
In prior versions of CS the tool strip and layer pallets strips were ALWAYS on top so I could access them no matter how much was open on the screen. In CS5 I keep burying them and have to dig them out to use them. When I use "Float All in Window", which I need, using Tabs does not allow me to see everything I need to see to work on documents, how do I get the tools and layers on TOP only?
THANKS for listening...I hope you can help!
Theresa

You probably need to undock the panels on the right and the toolbox by clicking and dragging on the top out into the workspace.
Then move them back to the sides of the workspace without docking them (the blue line means they are going to dock)

Im missing title (address) bar and the tab "+" button on Firefox Mobile for Android, how do i get them back?

I think I accidentally went into fullscreen and cant figure out how to get out of it on Firefox for Android Tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0)

Hello Sher.
If you're talking about the menu bar, press ALT or F10 in your keyboard to make the Menu Bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be permanently visible, go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'', or right-click the Navigation Toolbar (the Reload button, for example) and select ''Menu Bar''.
If this doesn't help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select ''Customize...'' and click ''Restore Default Set''. If it doesn't appear right away, try pressing ALT or F10. You can go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'' to make it permanently visible, or right-click the Navigation Toolbar and select ''Menu Bar''.
If none of this helps, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Try disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

I lost all my events on iphone prior to 2015 and this is not nice as I often need to look back on past dates they are on my Macbook air but how can I get them back to my phone

They're not lost, they simply don't show because you settings ask it not to.
Go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar --> Calendar --> Sync --> All events

I updated to PS CC 2014 and now my plug-ins are no longer available to use. how do I get them back?

i updated from PS CC to PS CC 2014 and now my plug-ins are no longer available to use. how do I get them back? I can no longer navigate to the NIK collection, my Topaz plug-ins, etc. They still are accessible on LR, but they don't seem to now be accessible on PS CC 2014

For Topaz, cop the shortcuts from Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photshop CC\plug-ins to the same folder in Photoshop CC 2014
I don't know about Nik
BTW What sort of pictures does a 'Photographic Psycho' take?

Hello Lori
If they are not in your iTunes library, I would check out the following article that will give steps on download the purchased song.

I have apps that say they are open in the app updates, how do I get them to close and not run in the updates?

I have apps that say they are open in the apps updates, how do I get them to close in the app updates?

This is normal under iOS 7. The App Store app shows all apps you have updated and are displayed in an "updated" list. The apps will drop off of the list in a few weeks or so. If they show as being updated, then they have in fact been updated. They will remain in the "updated" list until they are dropped off after a time.

I can't figure out where the sliders went and how to put them back on. Anyone have any suggestions?

In Lightroom, go to the Window menu, select Panels, select Basic

On a iphone4, under settings, messages, send and receive, there are multiple phone numbers listed. How do I remove them? they are constantly checked even when i uncheck them. this is causing copies of my text messages to go to those phones.

Are you using the same AppleID for all those phones? If so, get them all their own AppleID.

I've activated a new iPhone 6 from the backup of the previous device and all pre-installed iWork apps got lost. How do I get them back? AppStore downloads are offered with a fee.

Hi all!
I've activated a new iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.3) from the backup of the previous device and all pre-installed iWork apps got lost. How do I get them back? AppStore downloads are offered with a fee. Any advices?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ingo,
thanks for your help. Your hint didn't solve my problem but pointed me in the right direction.
When I wanted to activate my new phone from backup I realized, I didn't knew the password. It was noted on a paper at home. So I activated the phone free cause I couldn't await coming home ... a new toy!
Due to GameCenter I have two apple-ids and unfortunately I took the wrong for the activation.
Back home I've reset the phone and activated it from backup. The iWork apps disappeared and now are linked to the other apple-id.
I was able to re-install the apps from AppStore for free. But I don't think I can transfer the apps to the other id.
Thanks a lot
Harald

They aren't there because you didn't transfer them.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756
In future do not rely upon being able to download again. The policy could be discontinued without notice and then you'd be in a mess. Even now you still can't redownload everything. Transfer properly next time and make backups.

TS3899 I use 3 email accounts. All were maintained in separate in boxes.   After upgrading to iOS7.0.2, all emails are together in one inbox. How do I get them back to their own separate in box?

You should be able to see them either way, just as you should have been before you upgraded.
If you are viewing the consolidated Inbox, you should see something like this near the top of the screen:
< Mailboxes All Inboxes      Edit
Click on the blue "< Mailboxes" to get to the list of separate Inboxes (plus maybe VIP and Flagged virtual mailboxes). Click on one of them to view that Inbox.
If that does not match what you see on your phone, let us know what you do see.

YouTube does not use Adobe Reader. Videos do not use Adobe Reader.
Adobe Reader is used only to show files in a special format called "PDF".
What you are having problems with is probably Adobe Flash Player.
So, if you are trying to solve problems with Adobe Flash Player by downloading Adobe Reader, or even Adobe Acrobat, it isn't going to help you in the end. Is that what is happening (we can't really tell without screen pictures, but it seems a likely guess).
