Pointless change to Safari 6.1 pop-up menu for links

Can somebody please put the adults back in charge of OS development at Apple? This morning I was prompted to install the latest OS update, which includes a new version of Safari (6.1). Almost immediately I noticed this change to the order of items in the pop-up menu when you right-click a link: the position of the first two items is switched. That may seem like a trivial change, but if you're accustomed to opening different types of links in new tabs or new windows, then you've established a bit of muscle memory in your mouse hand, which is now thrown off by the change: you'll instinctively choose the wrong item. One of the basic principles of software usability is that you leverage the learned behaviors of your users, you don't turn them into obstacles.

It seems somebody at Apple strongly believes the UI must be tabbed for all things you do. I feel we're told "don't use windows if you can use tabs". Well, I won't be using tabs (neither in Safari, nor Finder, nor nothing), because they waste a precious line of display space.
Too much silly things done in OSX since Lion. As the OP said, please put adults back in charge of OS development. Thanks.
Big thanks also to MacOsX for sharing his (working) solution for this Safari bug (yes, it's a bug)

Whenever I open an application or go to safari a box pops up asking for keychain login. I have been to apple store twice and both times, they said they fixed it but it still keeps popping up. I bought a refurbished macrpro two weeks ago. Help!

Whenever I open an application or go to safari, a box pops up asking for my keychain login. I have taken it to the apple store two different times, and each time the techs have assured me they fixed it. I have only had the computer for two weeks and it is totally irritating. I bought it refurbished, and I am wondering if this has anything to do with it. Please help!

I've done some experimenting, and this is what I've found out:
1) The problem persists when I reformatted the USB HDD devices to ExFAT, so the problem apparently wasn't due to NTFS for Mac OS X by Paragon.
2) The problem persists even when BackBlaze is paused, so I don't think that it's due to BackBlaze.
3) The internet cuts out as soon as data begins transferring either to or from a USB HDD device and won't reconnected until I eject and unplug the device.
4) The problem affects data transfers through either USB port.

I am using Photoshop CC2014 15.00. In the pop-up menu for the Fill command there is a place for Scripted patterns. Within that part, the tree and the picture frame are grayed.
Why?   I've seen demonstrations on how to use the feature but mine doesn't work. I checked the updates and I have the current version.
Thanks.      LM

I am running CC 2014.2.1 and I've updated to Yosemite. Not seeing tree or frame as an option in the menu. Coworker still on Mavericks has it.

Changing Text format within a Pop Up Menu

I'm trying to apply the characters "1/1" in a Pop Up Menu, but it is coming up as the date January 1, 2009. Anyone know how to change the characters to "text" from the default "date"?

Fractions just don't work correctly, they come up as dates or decimal equivalents. So using a lower case "L" won't solve the more general problem.
However, I noticed that if you type "1/3" as "1 / 3" you'll get "0.33333333" instead of a date. And it gets more interesting. When you pick it from the pop up list, the list shows it as "0.3333333" but it will display in the cell as 1/3. If you had typed 0.333333333 in the list, it will display in the cell as 0.33333333. Strange.
If it isn't too obtrusive and this is a text entry, not a number, you could type your fractions with a single quote on both sides: '1/3'

Where is my pop up menu for remote speakers?

Just upgraded to Lion and iTunes 10.6. Sometimes the pop up menu is there, sometimes it isn't. I've tried shutting the computer, the airport and the modem down and restarting it all. No change.

I just figured it out. I was logged into another network, so my itunes didn't recognize it and therefore wouldn't display the popup menu.

Update Pop-up menu for multiple cells?

Is there a way to update all of the pop-up menu cells simultaneously without changing what any given cell has already selected?
I have a long list of items that includes a popup menu in one of the rows. The menu is the same for all of the items.
Here is the problem:
Periodically I have to update the pop-up menu. Every time I do this I have to manually update the pop-up menu cell for every item. As the list gets longer this takes more and more time.
Since each item has a different selection in this popup menu I can't simply drag the updated cell or copy and paste since this will then change the selection already made and then I have to manually change anyway i.e. instead of less work, it ends up being more.

I have wondered about this for a while. I was trying something tonight and it seemed to do what you need. I suggest you save your document before trying it.
Select one of your popups.
Copy Style
Select all the popups
Paste Style
With all selected, go to the Inspector and add another item to the list.
All popups should now have the new item. The selected values should not have changed. Copy/paste style is required to make this work.
Please let me know if this works for you. I've tried it a few times and it seems to do the trick.

Using a conditional pop-up menu for creating an order form...

I am trying to create an order form on Numbers (version 2.0.1) using my iPad. My idea is to create a pop-up menu that would contain a number of products (about 50 or so). I'd copy this pop-up menu on all the cells in the column under "Description". That part is no problem. BUT ... ideally when a product is selected from the pop-up menu, I would like for its price to automatically populate the corresponding cell under "Unit Price". Obviously the various products will have various prices. For example, I might have three products listed as "Assorted Miniatures" which cost $5 each; "Animal Pot" which costs $10; and "Geometric Pot" which costs $15. Can this be done???
If and when that is accomplished, then I presume I can easily apply the basic formulas to get total amounts. All of this means that once completed the only thing I really need to do is select products and then all the pricing and total amounts are automatically listed and calculated. Can someone assist? I have a show coming up this weekend and I hope to fill out lots of order forms!!! :-) Thank you!!!

MicMac22,
Here is my take. Lookup table as Wayne suggests.
Popup menu is a great idea.
description
quant
unit price
total Amt
Item 2
$2.00
Item 1
$1.00
My entry table would look like yours.
item
price
item 1
$1.00
item 2
$2.00
item 3
$3.00
Table 2 is your lookup table.
The formula in your entry table unit price is pasted into row 2 and copied down.
IFERROR(OFFSET(Table 2::$A$1,MATCH(A2,item,0)−1,1,,),"")
This says find the match of entry in A2 in item column in table 2 return the value in the column 1 over. If error return nothing ("").
Will this work for you?
Q

Pop-Up Menu for whole column

Hello iWork Eperts,
I understand that there is an easy way to select certain cells and Format them for POP-UP menu. But when a new row is added then I have to do the formatting again for the cell. Is there any way to do this POP-UP menu formatting for whole column so that when a new row is added then the cell in that column is automatically formatted for POP-UP formatting.
Regards
Kartik Mittal

Hi Kartik,
Here's a step by step:
Start by formatting a single cell (B2 in this case) as a popup menu cell Edit the items to your preferences (I've left them at the default 1, 2 and 3).
Copy that cell.
Click on the Column Reference tab ( B ) to select the whole column.
Command-click on B1 to remove it from the selection.
Paste (to fill the popup, and its current selection, into all cells in the existing column).
Result:
You've now set up the necessary condition for the format (and currently selected value) to replicate as you drag te Row control tab downward to add more rows to the table.
If ALL cells above the one where rows are to be added contain the same popup menu (or the same formula), then that menu/formula wil be filled in to new rows as they are added.
Regards,
Barry

POP UP menu for 2 languages

Dear friends...
I need your help with a little problem/doubt with Encore CS5
I´m explain:
In this moment I do a great authoring with Encore for 2 languages /Spanish and French/ I done the authoring except the pop up menus. This authoring have 2 -main menu- with 2 different desings, one for each language. I done 2 pop up menus for this authoring, each pop up menu in line whith the -main menu- of your correspondant language, but the program don´t supports 2 pop up menus, then, I done a only pop up menu with 2 pages, one page for each different desing (French/Spanish). Ok, at now all correct... The problem:
When the french people chose your language will appear the french main menu, and I need that the page of pop up menu that will appear when the people push the button on the remote controler is the pag.2 because this page have the desing of pop up menu with the words in french. And in the other hand, when the people in spanish are watching the video in your language, when push the button on the remote controler should appear the page1. that is your pop up menu with the words in spanish language....
How I can do this in Encore CS5?, exist this posibility?
Thank you very much for your help.

Perhaps have a look at this THREAD. With only two Pop-up Menus, you might be able to use the workflow listed down-thread.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to create a Pop-up menu for an Applet

I need to create a Pop-up menu that works like this:
When the user move his mouse over the applet, the menu will pop up, extending beyond the bounds of the applet.
In other words: The applet will display only the menu headings - a mouse-over should cascade a menu beneath the heading - once again: beyond the bounds of the applet.
(Hopefully, the end result will look and work pretty much like a DHTML menu that uses <div>'s.)
I thought of popping up a JFrame to act as the menu - however, the JFrame has its own title bar.
Any ideas!?

OK - I tried using a JMenuBar - and it does cascade out of the Applet box. The question is:
How do I close the menu without clicking on the Applet box? - i.e. if the user clicks on the web-page, or simply waits a second or 2, the menu should collapse?
Any ideas?

Why do i keep getting a pop up menu for automatic downloads? I turned it off in the preferences, but it keeps popping up, asking me for my password.

Why do I keep getting a pop up menu asking me for my password in itunes to enable automatic downloads? I turned it off in the itunes preferences several times. iTunes still gives me a pop up message asking for my password. Please help.

Automatic downloads is for when you download something on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and automatic downloads will download these on your Mac or pc, eliminating the need for syncing. But I have limited bandwidth at home so I do not want this feature. Mine actually stopped bugging me for now, I cruised around the whole community looking for an answer and different things seems to be working for different people. It just seems to be a bug that will hopefully be fixed in an update. For me, I put in my password, even though I didn't want it, made sure it's not set to allow automatic downloads and tested it and it worked. It hasnt bugged me since, but it may come back over time.

How do I change the pop up menu for right click to Tools?

Hi,
I generally know my way around Photoshop but for some reason this has me stumped.
When I right click on the image I'm working in (using my Cintique pen button) I get the Brushes panel as a pop up.
Very handy, but I hate Brushes- I much prefer Tools (even if most of my Tools are modified Brushes).
How do I change this pop up so it shows the Tools?
I've looked in both the PS prefs and the Cintique settings.
Think I'm just not doing it right.
Please help if you know how to make this change.
Thanks,
Tom B
I'm in Mac OS 10.5.8 running PS CS3

Thanks Trevor, been trying various options along those lines.
@c.pfaffenbichler
Yes, I'd like to raise the Tool Presets panel by Right Clicking using the Cintique pen.
In just the same way as I currently do to access the Brushes panel.
"Then what did you mean by »even if most of my Tools are modified Brushes«?"
As above- "A Tool may be a Brush (or an Eraser, or a Cloner, etc) though not all Brushes, etc, are Tools."
Just as one might say "all swans are birds, though not all birds are swans."

Folding accelerators and pop-up menu for non-Java files?

For Java files, 11g honors the expand/collapse accelerators and displays an expand/collapse menu when right-clicking in the gutter for the +/- folding handles. For other files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.), the folding handles are present, but neither the accelerators nor the menu are available. Is there a way to config JDev to make that work? Thanks.

Thanks for reporting - I filed bug 7719290 for this

The spry pop-up menu I built in Adobe Dreamweaver worked fine in my old Firefox, I updated Firefox today and the menu no longer works--despite disabling the pop-up blocker in Firefox preferences...what's the problem??? I need the menu to work!!!

I built a new pop-up menu for my website using Spry in Adobe Dreamweaver. Because of some differences in .HTML and .XHTML
it took me days to get it right. I tested every variation in Firefox until it worked perfectly. Today, I installed the newest version of Firefox and now the pop-up no longer works. I changed the preferences in Firefox to disable to pop-up blocker and it STILL DOESN'T WORK...although an older style of pop-up menu (menu machine) which is no longer supported by Adobe, DOES WORK.
HELP!!! THIS IS IMPORTANT.

pixlor:
OP is using CS3 and the menu blog is talking about the menus
in earlier
versions of FW, so *most* of the points made in the blog
don't apply.
That's not to say that using CS3 pop-up menus is a *good*
thing....

Using pop-up menu to fill another sheet

Although I am certain the answer to this question is posted somewhere, I can't find it.
I am trying to create a school budget spreadsheet. Each row has a pop-up menu where I designate which class the purchase is for.
I want to populate the class' spread sheet with the information automatically once I choose the class in the pop-up menu.
for example:
If Class A buys $250 worth of books, I add it to my general spread sheet: Column A =type Column B=Date, Column C= Description, Column D=Category, Column E=Class(POP-UP), Column F=Amount, and Column G= Balance.
When I fill in the info and choose Class A in the pop-up. Once this happens the specific sheet for Class A automatically updates with the same information.
I hope I am making this clear.
Thanks for your help!!
Conrad

Hi Conrad,
Here's your tables, using the method described in the discussion I linked to earlier. The table containing the selected cell is "Class C"
I used two header rows in the Data table to allow entering a starting balance outside the body rows of the table, and zero header columns. The other four tables have one header row and zero header columns ("Basic" in the Table button).
I moved the popup cells to column A. They are not needed in the individual class tables, and moving them avoids the complications of interrupting the range of cells to be transferred to the individual class tables.
The Date columns contain actual dates; the format was chosen to allow for narrow columns so the screen shot would be narrow enough to not cause left-right scrolling to be required in the discussion thread.
There are only two 'working' formulas, one in Test, the other in each of the Class tables.
In Test:
A2: =IF($Class=A$1,ROW(),65537)
Fill right into columns B and C.
Fill down to last row of Test.
Note: Test must contain at least as many rows as does Data.
In Class A:
A2: =IFERROR(OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,SMALL($'A',(ROW())-1)-1,COLUMN()+0),"")
Note: After entering the formula, and before filling it right and down, Select this table in the left side bar and press command-D to make duplicates for each class.
Fill the formula right into columns B to E.
Fill down to last row in the table.
Note: Each table needs enough rows to include all purchases. Rows can be added, and the formulas filled down at any time.
Other Classes:
For each other class, change " $'A' " in the formula to match the column in Test for that class, then Fill right and Fill down.
For an explanation of the functions used, see the iWork Functions and Formulas User Guide, available via the Application (Numbers) menu in Numbers.
Regards,
Barry
