Renaming the drop down options ?

In the drop down menu when right clicking in finder, the options have been renamed into things like N33 ???
Whats going on and how can i fix it ?

Hmmmm, I vaguely remember seeing this a couple of times... too far in the past to remember the cure.
But did you install any 3rd party Apps lately?
http://www.viesign.com/blog/apple/95-finder-context-menu-messed-up
In any case, I'd start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Turning off the drop down option in a ALV grid

Hello,
I have defined a ALV grid where I defining my field catalog manually. Here is an example of one field:
gs_fieldcat-fieldname = 'DZTERM'.
gs_fieldcat-ref_table = 'VBFHAPO'.
gs_fieldcat-coltext   = text-004.
gs_fieldcat-edit       = 'X'.
append gs_fieldcat to gt_fieldcat.
Since I am trying to use the ref_table field, it has also activated the drop down menu for that field. If I take out the ref_table field, and replace it with the code below, it deactivates the drop down option.
gs_fieldcat-ref_table = 'VBFHAPO'. - Comment out
    gs_fieldcat-inttype = 'D'. - Add in
Is there a better way to do this where I can turn off the drop down option for the whole grid? I looked in LVC_S_FCAT and LVC_S_LAYO, but I did not find a setting in there that would turn this feature off.
Thanks! Bill

Bill,
To the best of my knowledge, when you inherit the attributes of dictionary objects in your grid (via your references and foriegn key relations) you will get dropdowns much as you would in a selection screen field.
There is a way of programatically changing the behavior of a cell in the ALV grid.
There are excellent examples of this in Development class (Package) SLIS
See example: BCALV_TEST_GRID_F4_HELP
cheers,
Marilyn

I don't see the new "firefox button" and i can't see the bookmark button (with the drop down option) unless I'm in the customize toolbar view. How can I fix these?

I am using Firefox 4.0 on Windows XP home, Service pack 3. I am trying to use some of the new features of Firefox 4.0 that I see on the Firefox feature page (http://mzl.la/gCFDjj) and am not having much luck. First off in the Firefox Button. It is supposed to contain all your menu items but it is not appearing on my screen. Is this a feature that only works in Vista or Windows 7?
Second, I am trying to use the Bookmarks Button (the one that has the drop down menu) but it doesn't appear in my toolbar unless I right click the tool bar and choose "customize". The button shows up in this view already in the toolbar, as if it is hidden in normal use and no matter where I move it to, once I hit the "done" button in the customize window the Bookmarks Button gets hidden/covered up again.
Third, I see the new "App Tabs" feature but I can't seem to find an option for this in the preferences for Firefox, if it's even supported by my browser/OS at all.
Can anyone tell me how to use/activate these features or if I am even able to using Windows XP?

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).<br />
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

I modified the budget categories on the numbers template so now the transaction tab does not communicate with the budget tab. I figured out how to change the drop down options but how do I get it to reflect on my budget sheet? Please help.

If you are familar with the Numbers Budget Template it has two tabs 'Budget' and 'Transactions'. If you use the template as it is designed when you input expenses on the transaction tab it will automatically add that amount into the selected category on the budget tab. I have madified my budget tab to reflect the caegories that I need, which included adding several to the template. I also added to the table so it reflects my income and expenses so I can track where I am at with a glance. Since I did this, I can't get my transactions tab to communicate with the budget tab. I figured out how to change the options in the drop down box for category but I con't figure out how to get it to reflect onto my budget tab. I'm sure that it is an easy fix, however, I am just not well versed in Numbers. I appreciate your time in helping me with this issue.
Respectfully,
Jon

My guess is that while you added catetories to your Budget Sheet by adding new lines and filling in the category column, you didn't also add the formulas to these new budget lines.
The proper way to add those lines would have been to select a cell in the line just above where you want to add a line and type Option/Alt-DownArrow. This would have copied the formulas into the new line. Maybe you did this, and maybe not. You didn't give details on how you added the lines.
Select C2 and D2 and Command-C to copy them to the Clipboard.
Select all the cells of Columns C and D except for the top and bottom rows and Command-V to Paste.
If I have properly guessed the problem, you should be in business. This assumes that your Categories are exaclty the same as the entries in your Pop-up menus. Spelling counts, as does case.

How do I move emailed photos to iPhoto with Lion? I've lost the drop down option.Karen

How do I move emailed photos to iPhoto using Lion? I've lost the previous drop down option.
Thank you, Karen

There are multiple ways. I am not at my Lion machine at the moment, so I am not sure I can remember them all, but here is one: Click on the "Details" button in the upper right corner of the message. If there are image attachments, the drop down menu should appear.
Or, try right click on the image. I think I saw "Add to iPhoto" in the contextual menu.

Using a different background for the drop down options in a spry menu bar

Hi all,
I am trying to set just a background color in the drop down menu, I have a background image repeated along the x asis at the top but this has come down into the sub menu bar how can I change just the lower drop down menu to just a solid color??
I have tryed google and youtube to try to find a answer but have had no luck in finding the solution to this problem.

winabe23, you joined this month—probably because you were having trouble with CSS and HTML and you have certainly come to the right place.
I'm going to send you to several places I have found helpful in understanding how you can make drop-down menus in CSS without the need for JavaScript—though JS may be necessary for certain older browsers that do not understand pseudo classes and may be necessary for the blind or keyboard navigation.
CSS Wizardry has a great tutorial here.
Line25 has one here.
For those who don't want to have to wrangle code, here is a menu generator from PureCSSMenu.
Here's a page by Eric Meyer who describes how the concept works.
And here is a video tutorial by "zorro30mum." It's in two parts, but there is a link to Part 2 below Part 1.
The reason why I am posting all of these links in my answer is because you're using Spry. And Spry has been found wanting by Adobe and they are deprecating and abandoning it.
The Spry framework is an open source Ajax framework that Adobe developed. Ajax stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML. On August 29th 2012, Adobe handed over Spry to github. If you want to help github develop Spry, there is a site for that, but I'm thinking you're not a JavaScript developer.
I would recommend you pay a little more attention and time to Ajax, which is not deprecated and not discontinued. It allows you to do client-side triggers for server-side code. But that's if you want to do work in JavaScript, XML and a server-side language, like Cold Fusion, php or ASP.
But in the meantime, the tutorials above will get you into understanding how this whole menuing stuff is done in CSS and give you the understanding necessary to do simple stuff, like changing the color of a background for a drop-down.
I hope this helps you make great websites!

Browser didn't re-open last session and the drop down option is greyed out!

I had a lot of tabs open on Firefox, I wanted to open it up and restore from last session so I could make a bookmark folder for them all and then do an update on my computer. However when I opened Firefox I didn't get the option to restore my previous session. I've read a lot of threads but I really really don't understand what to do, I am using a Mac and most seem to refer to Windows computers. I'm running 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro and 33.1.1 on Firefox. I have (with great difficulty and tears) managed to find the files called recovery.js etc. in my finder but have no idea what I'm now supposed to do now! When I open the file it appears in safari as code. I was about to rename the recovery.bak file as recovery.js as advised to by someone else's thread but my computer gave me a warning message telling me that what I was doing was risky so I got scared. I'm hoping one of you can help me! Also another thread suggested I back up however I seem to have to close the browser in order to do that and I'm worried that if I do that then my 'previous session' will become this one and not the one with all my precious tabs...

I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.

When I click on the drop down options they are flicking quickly & I can't select one. I've uninstalled & re-installed Firefox. Any ideas?

It happens whenever I'm on the internet - banking etc. Usually the options - like how I want my name written - come up when I click in a box, and I can select the one I want. Now however when I click on the box the options flicker past quickly & no matter how fast I move my mouse I can't select anything! Very frustrating, so I hope someone can help me.

Try to update to Firefox 12. Does the issue still happen there? (Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported or secure).
Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

HT1918 I'm from the Philippines and the County field does not accept 3 letters. Not sure why when the drop down options only has 3 letters for the provinces.

The Philippines only has Provinces not Counties and the province initials only have 3 letters. I cannot create my Apple ID because it keeps getting the "enter at least 4 letters or numbers" error. Please help.

well, then recovery mode does not work. I've tried all the key combinations I've seen on line. Command+R, Command+Option+R, Command+Option+P+R, none of these work.
I don't believe there is anything we can do on a forum to help then, you need to take it into a AASP and have it professionaly diagnosed. If you don't know how to locate an AASP in your area you can begin by using Contact Apple for support and service
Good luck.

TS4435 so the drop down option to save to iPhoto in Mail is broken?

That's correct, it is. That's what the article says, and suggets a workaround. Were you hoping for some other answer?

Drop Down Options in Captivate 6 Sequence Question

Hello!
I'm working on a project using Captivate 6. There is a Sequence question using the drop down option for Answer Type. For this particular question there are 5 items that need to be placed in order. When a learner clicks the drop down to answer the question only 4 of the 5 options display forcing the learner to scroll to see the last option. Is there a way to make the drop down display larger so the learner doesn't have to scroll?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Marie

Thanks Lilybiri!
This was helpful. My team decided to stick with the drop down format, but by making the font size smaller we were able to fit all 5 options into the window (taking away the need to scroll.
Thanks again,
Marie

How to create drop down option in service manager 2012 incident portal

Hii,,
Please assist how to create drop down option in service manager 2012 SP1 default incident portal. We would like to provide the drop down option in "Please enter the title for the Issue" to our users.
Regards, Syed Fahad Ali

As was already referenced, you could use a Simple List for the prompt, however if you are referring to the default General Incident that is available out-of-the-box, you might be limited in what you can modify.
I did some work for a client, that wanted to have a list and other options for the General Incident through the Portal. So, I ended up having to create a custom General Incident instead of using the default one, which will then allow you to add any type
of prompts, and configure them as you want (i.e. with a simple list).

I installed a new printer and Acrobat Pro is not listing it as an option in the drop down box. Other apps are working. Printer is networked, platform is Windows.

sorry, other apps are working fine and finding the new printer. HP Officejet 8620.

I've rebooted numerous times, reloaded the software twice, spent 4 hrs on the phone with HP and 2 with Adobe. No luck. It simply doesn't show the new printer in the drop down menu for Pro or Reader and yet shows time in all in Office, Paint, Web options. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It won't let me share my movie. Nothing happens when I click "share" or even in the drop down menu. I don't get options. HELP! I need this video by tonight!

I have worked with iMoive a ton and have never had an issue. I consider myself pretty computer savvy. This new iMovie is not my friend. It will not let me share my new video.

I tried the drop down menu and I see the "share" with an arrow indicating there are options but no drop down menu appears. I need this video by tonight to submit for work. HELP!

4. Plug in the external hard drive
5. Go into finder and double click on the folder containing the movie
