Apple drop down menu at top left will not display when I click on apple

My computer has just started having several odd problems and I'm not sure why... One obvious thing is that the apple drop down menu doesn't work, so to restart, I have to actually press restart button. (also can't tell exactly what OS I am running but think it's tiger.)
Can anyone suggest what to do about this?
Information about what the larger issues might be would also be helpful.
Here's what has been happening:
First, InDesign CS2 crashes upon opening, even after several restarts.
Then, my trash would not empty or secure empty (until I held option down).
I can't think of what would cause this, I downloaded several large files from an ftp site but those have since been deleted.
Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks!

There are any number of possible causes. Corrupted files, incompatible third-party utility, bad preference file(s), just to name a few. I would suggest starting with some basic maintenance.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
If the problems persist let me know. You may need to reinstall OS X if the above is unsuccessful. Although this may be done without erasing the hard drive it would be a good idea to backup your files just in case.

Filter query based on a value from a drop down menu

I am using ADFBC/JDev 10.1.3/ADF-faces (JSPX)
I would like to display a table of data based on a view object and have a drop down menu of values that the user can select from which would filter the table of data. The filter would be applied to a field in the VO. For example, have a JSPX page that shows all employees and have a drop down menu that filters the employees by a specific department with an option to show all departments too in the drop down. I'm not sure if Steve Muench's example #76 (http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html) would serve as a basis for this requirement or not.
Can anybody give me high level guidance on how to do this? Both declaratively and programmatically would be great.
Thanks,
Quoc

I can't get the JSPX page to display the correct data. It's displaying the entire VO and when you try to select Yes or No or All from the drop down menu, it just changes the Active Flag column in the table to whatever you select for the first row only and still displays the rest of the rows in the VO.

Reading from HTML Drop-Down Menu into JSP

Hi folks. I'm am just delving into JSP, and I have a very basic question. I've been looking around the internet for a good tutorial on how to read HTML form input data into my JSP page. I really haven't found anything, and was hoping that you could provide me with some good resources. I want to have just a basic HTML drop-down menu with a SQL query executed based on the menu selection. The selection from the drop-down menu should go into the SQL query where "Shawnee" currently is. Here is my JSP code:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252" import="java.sql.*"%>
<%
try
     Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
     Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://khrcs4:1433/Mail_List;user=xxxx;password=xxxx");
     System.out.println("success");
     Statement st = con.createStatement();
     ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("select * from contacts where class like '%First Time Home Buyer Lenders%' and served like '%Shawnee%' order by company");
     while(rs.next())
          out.println(rs.getString(3)+"<br>"); //company
          out.println(rs.getString(12)+"<br>"); //address
          //out.println(rs.getString(13)+"<br>"); //address2
          out.println(rs.getString(8)+", "+rs.getString(9)+" "+rs.getString(14)+"<br>"); //city, state zip
          out.println(rs.getString(7)+"<br><br>"); //phone
catch (Exception ex)
     ex.printStackTrace();
%>

ArrayList recList = new ArrayList();
while(rs.next())
     recList.add(rs.getString(3));
put the recList in the session.
session.setAttribute("allrecords",recList);
Then in your jsp, get the recList from the session and loop it,
ArrayList recList = (ArrayList)session.getAttribute("allrecords");
for (var i=0; i < recList.size();++i){
     addOption(document.getElementById("drop-down box name"), valarray, valarray[i]);
function addOption(selectbox,text,value)
     var optn = document.createElement("OPTION");
     optn.text = trim(text);
     optn.value = trim(value);
     selectbox.options.add(optn);

Selecting the XML data from a drop-down menu or links

Hi, I have this page:
http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/nathist/botanical/volckinv/volckinv.html
There are prints of lemons/limes and prints of oranges. I
want to have the visitor select which kind of fruit from either a
drop-menu or from two links that look something like this:
Lemons/Limes | Oranges. Looking at other help docs I found the
region/state mapping demo at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/StateMappingSample.html,
and copied the code and tried to modify it. But I don't really
understand the technical shorthand of the help docs (an ongoing
problem I have with the Spry documentation) and I couldn't find the
XML docs that the region/state mapping demos are based on so I
couldn't see how they were set up.
I got as far as this: nothing loads initially when you open
the page (I'd like the lemons to load), but if you select Oranges
from the drop-down menu you see the oranges, and THEN once you've
done that, you can select Lemons/Limes in the drop-down menu and
see those. I have three XML files I've been playing around with to
get this to work: lemons.xml, oranges.xml and inventory.xml, which
combines the two.
I also suspect region/state mapping might not even be exactly
what I'm trying to do here, but I can't figure out from the
documentation exactly what this thing I'm trying to do is called. I
know the photo album demo accomplishes something similar, and I
could do that, but it seems way more complicated than what I need
here (right?). Help will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Helen

I made a different test using the file
http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/nathist/botanical/volckinv/inventory.xml
and
http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/nathist/botanical/volckinv/volcktest.html
where I sent up the inventory xml form like one I found in the
Nested XML Data documentation where you have item ids and types, so
all the oranges and lemons are in one XML document (which I'd
prefer).
Here's an abbreviated version of the inventory.xml:
<inv_items>
<inv_item id="1" type="lemon">
<name>Lemons and Limes</name>
<title>Cedro Ordinario</title>
<plate>116a</plate>
<fullimage>pl116a.jpg</fullimage>
<tn>pl116a-2.jpg</tn>
</inv_item>
[and more lemons follow]
<inv_item id="19" type="orange">
<name>Oranges and Others</name>
<title>La Zucchetta Imperiale</title>
<plate>138a</plate>
<fullimage>pl138a.jpg</fullimage>
<tn>pl138a-2.jpg</tn>
</inv_item>
[and more oranges follow]
</inv_items>
What I'd like to do is display the names "Lemons and Limes"
and "Oranges and Others" and when you click on "Lemons and Limes"
you see only the thumbnails for lemons and limes, and when you
click on "Oranges and Others" you see the thumbnails for only
those. I'd like the Lemons and Limes to be selected when the page
is opened.
Help greatly appreciated!

2 GB of RAM is pretty tight. I imagine that's at the very low end of what Yosemite wants, which could slow things down.
As far as scroll direction, you can always change it in the trackpad settings. Unsure why it got flipped, but you can fix it in about 5 seconds. Choose "natural" (or don't) depending on how you like it.

Execute option missing from JSP drop down menu

I'm going through a Java Web Development class and trying to produce a small web app through Sun Java Studio Enterprise 7 2004Q4. I have two servlets, a couple of classes and two JSPs. At seemingly random times the "Execute" and "Execute (force reload)" options from the drop down menu you get when you right click a JSP fails to show up. It isn't grayed out, it just isn't there. Most of the time these options are there. And they can be there one time and then for the same project, same set of JSPs everything, they just disappear.
Can anyone tell me what dumb thing I'm doing to cause this?
And can anyone tell me how to fix it once I've done it?
Thanks
DR Crowley

First of all thank you for all the time you are spending on this. Believe me I know how frustrating it can be to figure out what is happening when you can't reproduce the problem.
On to your questions: I am running Windows XP Professional. I have checked and made sure that the extension is still .jsp and that it isn't changing. No I don't have the IDE set up to show extensions, however the icon beside the file is the jsp icon and when I go to Windows explorer (where I do have it set to show known extensions) it is a .jsp file and does not have the ever exasperating hidden extension that windows is infamous for. Sun Studio seems to recognize the file as a proper jsp (due to the icon).
As to your further questions. I am executing it by right clicking on the jsp file itself. And the jsp file is in the documents folder not in the web/inf folder.
At this point we are out of the class and it isn't nearly as important that I get an fix. We (our company) will probably not do jsp files and servlets thourgh Sun Java Studio Enterprsise. Instead we are looking at using Sun Java Studio Creater to do the view layer.
Thanks for all your help and the time you took to try to figure this out.

Linking a page as a browser window from a drop-down menu item

I have tried to link from a drop-down menu item to link to a small browser window instead of a full page. I tried using the "behaviors" but I got both the regular page and the browser window. Is there a way to make it just the browser window.
Thanks.

I tried that target=_Blank" but I still got the regular page plus the small browser window . I got rid of the Behavior for now. My aim is to would display the page in a simple 450 wide x 450 long browser window with a scroll bar with nothing else. If you can give me a code hint to do that, It would be appreciated. I'll figure out the rest.

Hello,
Where do you want to insert it in Muse. Do you want to add this in Muse Form widget then you can use the widget mentioned in the link below.

If you want to insert it anywhere else in Muse and if you have the HTML codes for that then you can insert its codes in page from Object > Insert HTML.
You may also require to use some java scripts to make them working as expected.

Enabling certain functions from a drop down menu

I am using the run-time menu along with case statements to control the flow of my program. I would like to ensure that a certain option is disabled until a number of other options have been selected. It is for a near field emissions scanning program. Basicly I would like to make sure that the file path and any notes about the sweep (product serial number, position, mode) are entered prior to selecting "run sweep" from the drop down menu. I know that an option can be disabled permenately by selecting disabled and grayed while the run-time menu is being setup, but this not what I want to do. I simply the "run sweep" option to be disabled until the sweep info and file path have been setup. How can I go about doing this? Thanks everyone!

On the block diagram, right click on the list control, select Create -> Property Node. Usually this will create a Visible property node. Left click on the word Visible, and select Disabled Items [ ] from the list. Then right click again and select Change to Write. You can then wire a numeric 1D array into the property node. Whatever numbers are in the array, those corresponding elements in the list will be disabled. So you can disable whatever you want before a certain action, and then use the property node again to enable items after the action is done. To enable all items, wire in an empty numeric array.
