Preferences item in app menu is missing

Hi,
I have problems setting up preferences in two apps (one dowenloaded in App Store (planbook), one on developers page (logisim)). There is no preferences menu item in the menu. Both developers explain how to find this preferences menu item same: Select menu logisim (or planbook) next to the apple in the menubar and there you will find the preferences.
First I thought, it could be a problem with the app. But now I am asking myself, if there could be any security option, that hides the preferences in the menu?
Who can help?

  • Where is the "apps" menu item in the new iTunes interface?

    Where is the “apps” menu item in the new iTunes interface?  I can no longer transfer files from my PC to my iPhone.
    I just downloaded and installed the updated iTunes for my iPhone.  I cannot find the “apps” menu item anywhere.  How can I continue to download various types of files FROM my PC (Windows 7) TO my iPhone?  I previously did this by clicking on the “apps” menu item and going from there.  I cannot find the “apps” anywhere on the new iTunes.  Thanks.   

    Tonefox, no it's not under "Music" but I did some more digging and found where Apple has "hidden" Apps on their latest iTunes for PC.    You need to click on "iPhone" (upper right menu item) to display more menue items, of which Apps is one of them.  When I had clicked on "iPhone" before, I mistakenly closed the the iPhone option from view because I clicked on the up arrow next to iPhone, instead of just iPhone.  Once you click on iPhone, the options look similar to what they did in the earlier version of iTunes and you can easily find Apps.

  • How can I extract pages from a PDF? The Tools menu is missing.

    I used to be able to extract pages from my PDF file. I don't see the tools icon anymore. How can I access the tools icon?

    Hi lenm,
    To extract pages, you need to use Acrobat (not Adobe Reader). As I can attest (because I do have both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same computer), it is quite easy to open files in Reader when you mean to open then in Acrobat. So, please make sure you have the right app open. (I pull this one all the time!)
    Now, if the Tools menu is missing from Acrobat, choose View > Show/Hide > Toolbar Items > Show Toolbars to make them reappear.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • [SOLVED] update removed menu items in lxpanel menu & in gnome-panel

    when i start gnome-panel, the 'applications' drop down is empty, and 'system' no longer contains the 'administration' and 'preferences' items.
    in lxpanel, the menu only shows 'run' and 'logout'.
    i wanted to see if alacarte still showed things, so i ran alacarte from a terminal (which normally works)...
    [chris: ~]$ alacarte
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 36, in <module>
    main()
    File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 32, in main
    app = MainWindow(datadir, version, sys.argv)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 48, in __init__
    self.editor = MenuEditor()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 36, in __init__
    self.__loadMenus()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 60, in __loadMenus
    self.settings.dom = xml.dom.minidom.parse(self.settings.path)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/dom/minidom.py", line 1918, in parse
    return expatbuilder.parse(file)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 924, in parse
    result = builder.parseFile(fp)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 211, in parseFile
    parser.Parse("", True)
    xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: no element found: line 1, column 0
    naturally, starting alacarte by right clicking on gnome-menu -> edit menus also does nothing.
    i looked at /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py with cat, and there is nothing super-obviously wrong with the script.
    also:
    [chris: ~]$ ls /usr/share/applications
    abiword.desktop
    alacarte.desktop
    aldm-gui.desktop
    assistant.desktop
    at-properties.desktop
    avahi-discover.desktop
    banshee-1-audiocd.desktop
    banshee-1.desktop
    banshee-1-media-player.desktop
    baobab.desktop
    *and so on*
    so those didn't vanish.
    any ideas?

    so i saw this error message....
    ** (gnome-panel:4408): WARNING **: Error loading menu layout from "/home/chris/.config/menus/settings.menu": Error on line 1 char 1: Document was empty or contained only whitespace
    the file was empty. and what do we do with broken config files in ~? why, we hide them, of course!
    [chris: ~/.config/menus]$ mv settings.menu settings.menubackup
    now gnome-panel works, but alacarte (menu editor) and lxpanel's menu is still busted.
    now that i am getting somewhere, im gonna keep posting as i trace this down so others that may come across this same issue can benefit.
    edit: renamed ~/.config/menus/lxde-applications.menu to .menubackup and restarted lxpanel, it works now.
    edit2:
    alacarte is giving me this...
    IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/chris/.config/menus/applications.menu'
    and sure enough, pcmanfm told me that the file belonged to root.
    sudo pcmanfm, navigated to that file, right click -> properties -> permissions -> changed owner to chris and group to users.
    alacarte works now, too.
    i think im going to go through and recursively make everything in each ~ folder belong to the username it should just in case permissions got jumbled somewhere/anywhere else.
    just so i know: did this happen to anyone else that updated within the last 24 hours or so?
    (so i can learn if it was something *I* did, or if it was something that came with the *update*)

  • The TOOLS menu & HELP menu are missing (not the whole bar)

    the TOOLS menu & HELP menu are missing (not the whole tool bar, but only these two menus), I can see File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks but not Tools and Help (on Firefox 3.6 on windows XP)

    I suspect that you installed an extension that hides some menu items thru user settable preferences.
    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • The item Hierarchical Context Menu does not support pre-calculation

    Hello,
    Trying to download pre-calculated web templates via RepAgent, using the Hierarchical Context Menu feature within the template (populated via control query with Hierarchy) the system returned the following message upon file download:
    "The item Hierarchical Context Menu does not support pre-calculation"
    As a result the Hierarchical Context Menu is not displayed on the downloaded html-files. Navigation not possible.
    Could not find any constraints documented in the online help, at this point.
    Question: is there something missing on our setup or is this really out of scope for precalculation with navigation?
    Any other experiences on that or shall we open OSS-message?
    Best regards,
    Markus

  • Apps menu shows 5 updates available, but when I go to download them it says none are available

    apps menu shows 5 updates available, but when I go to download them it says none are available.  How do I remove that number?

    Get some apps from someone else, perhaps? You can check by doing a "Get Info" on your apps; that will show the account under which they were purchased.
    Oh, and just to clarify so I'm not barking up the wrong tree, what exactly is iTunes saying? Is it showing the number in the icon indicating that there are five apps to be updated but showing the screen that says "No updates are currently available"? Or is it giving an error message somethign like "the item you requested is not available in the iTunes Store"?

  • App Store is missing from my MacBook Pro

    App Store is missing from my MacBook Pro. I've done all the necessary software updates but cannot find it in any folders, even when searching via spotlight.

    Does the Apple menu have a link to the MAS? What version of Mac OS X 10.6 are you running? Is this a new MBP? If so, did you use the new MBP's update for Mac OS X 10.6.7?

  • Schedule Line Item 100001 delivery date is missing

    Hello Sirs,
    After created a sales order in ECC and transferred to TM via XI, the queue remains with STOP status. Entering in transaction /SAPPO/PPO2 I’m facing the error “Schedule Line Item 100001 delivery date is missing”. The delivery date is filled in ECC side.
    Is there something that I need to check in TM regarding delivery date?
    Thanks.

    Please try to edit the PO[Change date] and process it again. This issue happens when we use a conversion program to create PO instead of creating it from UI.

  • NEED more than 15 menu item in Context Menu ????

    Hi,
    I really need to have more than 15 menu item displayed on Context Menu. I desperately need some workaround or ideas to achieve this
    My client has invested thousands of dollar in Flex Project, he definitely need more than 15 menu item.If this project failed , client will NEVER think to invest in flex.
    Had I been  aware of this limitation before I would have thought some solution by now.This comes as a surprise to me at the last moment ,just fews days before Prod Date.
    I cant also user java Scrip heck  as my Flex application is running inside Dot net Container , I do not access to the luxury of java script
    Pls gents help me get rid of this ...PLEASE provide some ideas.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Dharmendra

    Thanks Natasha,
    I got your point  but as for as I  know grouping like Quality is not possibel in Flax Context menu. I also cant go for window style menu(file,edit) because I need them to be displyed on DataGrid right clk . I am designing a trade datagrid where in trader can see all trades and he can approve/reject etc by just right clk and  selcting proper menu item form Context Menu.
    In case of window style (acrobat.com) menu trader will have to reach to  menu instead of  getting all options on mouse right clk
    I will have to think other alternative wich provides same ease as cotext menu.(God knows what is that )
    Once again thanks for suggestion.
    Regards,
    Dharmendra

  • I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones

    I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones
    Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
    Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
    cheers
    Tom

    They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
    Not a great solution.
    Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

  • How can i remove the menu item from a menu

    how can i remove the JMenuItem from a JMenu at run time.
    thanks in advance

    This is in JMenu from the api
    void remove(JMenuItem item)
    Removes the specified menu item from this menu.
    You must download the api! it helps a lot!
    You can do that or if you need to access it again just set it visible(false);
